"Hello. I am Anon."

Anon had his hands on their shoulder. They were shocked from seeing him vanish and appear near them in an instant.

"I am Arah of the Vasallus family!"

"Oh? Is your family royalty?" Anon probed.

Arah laughed.

"No. My family and my ancestors are all merchants. I am traveling around this region. I have an important task! I actually could use someone with your class. A wizard that has unlocked 'blink' and has the physique of a knight could handle any void creatures!"

Arah hit Anon with his elbows.

"I'll pay you a silver coin if you join my guards!"

Anon held his hand up to his chin.

"A silver coin eh? What exactly is it you are transporting?"

Arah leaned in to Anon's ear and whispered.

"It is a gift to a scion of the king. To be specific, his offspring from his mistress."

Anon frowned.

"You are all the way out her just to send a gift to a kid?" Arah laughed and asked Anon to go with him to his caravan. They soon boarded a carriage. He was inside with a few guards.

"My father is actually testing me. He wants me to form a positive relationship with the royalty. He also wants me to find talents such as yourself. I also have many other goods to sell..."

"So how about it?"

Anon paused for a moment then asked:

"What exactly is this 'gift'?"

Arah whispered once again.

"A potentia stone!"

Arah didn't bother to hide this piece of information from Anon. He mistakenly thought that Anon had already awakened! So he either used a stone already or was a genius and somehow awakened by himself.

It was more likely that Anon was judged by Merlin to become a wizard. He then learned a few tricks in a wizard academy. Nobles often sired knights.

Arah had already formed Anon's life path in his mind.

A unknown grade wizard that was both strong and had unlocked 'blink'. This might not even be all of his abilities! If he had such a person with him. He could feel more secure!

Anon knew that asking this question would destroy his vest and make his identity suspicious. But he could 'rewind' through death. He planned on asking some obvious questions and then killing himself to go back in time.

"What exactly is a potentia stone?"

"..."

"It is how one awakens their class...you!? Don't tell me... You are a natural potentia born!?"

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"What is your class!?"

Anon shook his head. He didn't know.

"Ahh, that's right. You couldn't possibly know without using the stone."

Arah left for a few minutes and returned with a box covered in locks.

"I shouldn't be doing this. But I am curious what type of class you unlocked. It could be a completely unique one! I can't believe my father was right. He told me I would encounter something extraordinary on this trip!"

Soon a stone with the color of a rainbow was presented to Anon.

"This is my first time operating this... It is quite exciting!"

Anon soon placed his hand on the stone and felt his consciousness get sucked into it! For a second it seemed as if he was standing before a council of gods!

He saw a starry sky and a fantastical meeting. He felt his soul getting engraved with something. Well these 'gods' tried to engrave his soul. But it was too solid!

"!?!" The gods were shocked!

The way the class system worked was by engraving the class on the soul. It was like sculpting clay. But Anon's soul was already like a steel cube. They couldn't even scratch it!

The illusion shattered!

The potentia stone exploded!

Arah was bleeding out of the orifices on his face.

He was about to die from the backlash. He looked at Anon as if he was looking at a monster.

"Impossible!? What are...-"

Anon shook his head. It looked like he couldn't use these potentia stones...He started to allow the animaxiom in his body to go haywire as usual. He then exploded, sending golden blood everywhere.

Anon went back in time a few minutes.

"What is your class!?"

"Demigod..."

"!!? Are you serious? I've never heard of this class! What abilities do you have you don't mind me asking? I know it is a bit taboo to ask this. But I should know the capabilities of my guards!"

"Do you have a knife?"

"Of course! I have all sorts of tools in my caravan!"

Soon Anon was given a knife. He allowed briefly the thin layer of animaxiom to disperse on his wrist. He then cut one of them and allowed his blood to flow.

"Golden blood!? You really are a demigod!"

"But... my father told me that you could only become a god when you died. So there should be no gods on this plane."

Anon smiled.

"It is just my class that I awakened! I'm not actually a real demigod..."

"As for my abilities?"

"I am immortal!"

"!!!" Arah was shocked. He had always known that those who awakened unique classes were on another level of power. But he had never heard of the ability 'immortality' before.

The demigod class. One of the abilities being 'immortality'. Was he himself even worthy of having such a guard!?

"Does that mean you can't die?"

"Yes."

"Bullshit! He is trying to deceive you." One of the guards couldn't sit quiet anymore.

Anon looked at the guard.

"Oh? Who are you?"

"I am an orphan raised by the Vasallus family. I have no name!"

"But I am one of the most trusted knights assigned to the young master. I won't allow him to be tricked! You have bad intentions... Demigod? Immortal? What nonsense!"

Anon laughed.

"How about we battle, then?"

The Knight sneered.

"I admit, you have some skill. But I do not raise my sword unless I am going for the kill..."

Anon raised his finger.

"Your sword against my finger."

The knight was surprised. He had clearly seen the low quality dagger cut through Anon's wrist. Now he wanted to battle him with his finger alone? He was surely bluffing!

The knight unsheathed his sword and asked Anon to follow him.

"Hurry up! The strongest knight under Arah is about to fight a newcomer!"

"We can't miss this!"

"Another one is going to die... what a pity. Kids these days and their pride."

Soon Anon and the knight were surrounded by Arah's other guards. None of the villagers knew about this fight.

The knight swung his sword in an instant as everything seemed to slow down. His adrenaline pumped and he saw that Anon simply held out his finger.

"First I'll chop off your limbs!!!"

DING!

"What!?" The knight's sword bounced off Anon's finger! It was as if it had clashed with another sword.

"That's impossible!? Isn't he just a wizard pretending to be a demigod!?"

Anon vanished!

He appeared behind the knight and tapped his shoulder.

The knight got angry and turned around and attacked dozens of times in a few seconds. But each attack looked like slow motion to Anon. Anon parried each one using a finger.

"How is this possible?"

Anon spoke:

"You seem to have mistaken something..."

"I don't operate on the logic of this world."

Anon put away his finger.

He then spread out his hands and said:

"I am a demigod! Attack me with everything you have. I will not defend..."

The knights eyes turned serious and he charged at Anon and sliced at his neck.

"What a ignorant foo- No!?" His sword shattered on Anon's neck!

Anon looked disappointed.

"I was hoping you would kill me so I could show off my ability..."

"But you are simply too weak!"
