The battle raged on, soldiers fell, blood sprayed all over, as the chaos ensues, the unease continued to boil inside Seira's heart. His grip on his practice naginata grew tighter and tighter, his knuckles turning white. He wished that it was all a dream, but the smell of blood and iron, the screams of anguish and triumph, the feeling of bloodlust—it was all too real to dismiss as a hallucination. Even if it was, this is one insane daydream, he thought.
His thoughts were cut short when he saw a sharp glint from the archers from one of the armies. It was a stray arrow, and it was heading straight for him, his adrenaline surged, he was able to catch the arrow in his sight, but his body was too slow, he was after all a normal human being, a civilian at that. He closed his eyes waiting for his abrupt and pathetic end, hoping that he will find answers in the afterlife.
But death never came, there was no pain, no sounds, nothing.
He opened his eyes and saw pitch black darkness. He felt that he was floating, incredulous, now he thinks that he got hit straight through the brain, explaining the fact that it was painless, and now he was in limbo. As if reading his thoughts, a rectangular shape appeared before him, and English text was written on it, it was shining brightly as if it was a sort of window that appears on a computer.
Welcome to the Infinity Dungeon, Master Seira, you have been automatically evacuated into the dungeon space due to danger to your life. The dungeon space is to serve as your personal realm, as a training ground, and as your hideout. The dungeon can only rescue you from harm once every month, automatically transporting you here. Due to having an unsuitable constitution your current environment. your body will be restructured according to your chosen class. Please choose one from below.
SPEARMAN
You will have a stronger physical body prioritizing speed and power and your talent with spears is very high. You will have longer reach in close-quarters combat, and you can keep your distance and wear out your enemies or end them in a few strikes.
ASSASSIN
You will have a stronger physical body prioritizing on speed, flexibility, and light body weight. You will specialize in killing your enemies in one hit or attacking them stealthily. Your presence is thinner than most people harder for them to detect you or recognize you.
TECHNOMANCER
Pyromancers wield fire, Necromancers use the undead, while you use technology. You will have a balanced adapting physical body, greater comprehension, perfect memory, and ability to multitask(parallel thinking). You will have the ability to influence materials depending on how much knowledge you have.
-What the hell is this?! Am I tripping or something?-
It is an awfully similar situation to what he had heard from his friend, being transported to another world, minus the fact that he has to "die" first via an impact from a poorly driven vehicle at maximum speed.
-If I choose I will have a better chance of surviving? These choices are weird, two are common, but the last is even weirder. -
He uses a naginata, close but entirely different to a spear, why is the choice [Spearman]? Sure, it was a polearm, but was it because there is no naginata in this world? He decided to reject the [Spearman] class and the [Assassin] class, he didn't want to abandon his life-long practice of wielding a naginata, and he also did not want to involve himself with shady businesses and a specialization in killing people. He opted for being a [Technomancer], one is because it can be sort of a craftsman class but with some fighting capabilities. He can live off as some sort of weapons smith and be able to defend himself if needed. The problem is, he would probably need a whole lot of learning to do, nonetheless, he said:
"I choose the [Technomancer] class."
Are you certain about your choice? The changes to be made to your body cannot be changed anymore.
"Yes."
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Choice has been confirmed. Initiating the metamorphic process to TECHNOMANCER class constitution.
After he had read the message he has suddenly assaulted by excruciating pain. He felt like he was being melted, every fiber of his being felt like it was being torn apart. His mind also felt like it was being stabbed by millions of needles. He felt bleak, but he kept himself conscious, thinking that if he faints he will surely die. For what felt like hours, he was drowning in the feeling of being taken apart and being put back together, over and over.
And later on, the pain soon stopped, replaced a refreshing feeling, he felt like he can do anything, he felt stronger, faster, and what's more important, is that his mind felt clearer than ever and his senses were also sharper. His mind was processing information at very high amounts and speed, and he can somehow know how and why. This proves that the human mind was far better than any other computer, it was only the matter of being able to effectively utilize it, and the restructuring of his whole being was what made it possible.
Metamorphosis is successful. All vital signs are stable. Congratulations on becoming a TECHNOMANCER, Master Seira. You will now be transferred to the first floor of the Infinity Dungeon. You will be given starting equipment to aid you in your journey, they will be fitting to your current capabilities. You can go inside the dungeon space or the outside world at will. Time does not flow within the dungeon space, one can spend time here indefinitely with enough basic necessities which can be acquired in the dungeon itself. When you come out to the outside world you will still be in the same moment as you came in the dungeon space.Contact with civilization in the outside world is still recommended in order to prevent insanity of an individual.
You can view your current status assessment by saying or thinking about the word "Status". Your capabilities are interpreted in an ordinal scale of letters. Starting from the least to greatest: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS. Divisions of assessment between letters are classified according to the number of +. For example. B < B+ You also have an inventory that is directly linked to the dungeon space you can use it anywhere, but avoid showing it to others. It can store anything and at any amount. You can take out any items at will, and store anything that you are holding, except for living creatures. You can view your inventory through the keyword "Inventory". These windows are only visible to you, and you alone. Please take time in familiarizing yourself with your environment. -That's a long explanation, but a proper explanation is what I really need right now, lucky me I guess.- "Status, Inventory" Name: Seira Elmsworth Level: 0 Class: Technomancer Title: None ---------------------------------------- ATTRIBUTES Strength: D Vitality: D Intelligence: B Agility: D Dexterity: C Perception: C ---------------------------------------- SKILLS/ABILITIES Exercise: C Martial Arts: D Naginatajutsu: D Parallel Thinking: D Material Handling: D Technomancy: S Polearm Mastery: E Perfect Memory: SSS INVENTORY Iron Naginata Cotton Sweatshirt Cotton Jogging Pants Audiobook Player(Infinite capacity and energy) Wireless Earphones Looking at his skills and status attributes, -Oh, right, I had this on me while I was training.- The audiobook player was something he used to listen to, well, audiobooks, when he trains or does something else. A form of multitasking, but also keeps him entertained when doing monotonous things. Was the reason why he got the class of [Technomancer] was due to having a gadget on him? -At least it has an infinite storage capacity and power source, hope I won't break it.- As if knowing that he had finished looking through the information, cracking sounds resounded around him. The endless pitch black darkness around him cracked, spewing white light through the gaps. The scene in front of him shattered, replaced by a breathtaking view that filled him with excitement. While trembling with anticipation and nervousness, he said to himself: "Well then, looks like it is time for me to suffer some more."
