Chapter 4: The Awakening

Lily Chen

Lily Chen knelt in the forest, feeling a mix of despair and confusion. Suddenly, a shimmering panel of light appeared before her, illuminating the trees with a soft glow. The air hummed with energy, and a voice echoed from the panel.

[Welcome, chosen one. You have been selected to embark on a grand adventure. To aid you in this journey, we present the System, designed to help you navigate your new reality.]

As she stared at the glowing panel, various options materialized, reflecting her unique experiences. It felt surreal, reminiscent of the video games she had played growing up.

[Choose a class based on your life experiences and skills. Each class will grant you unique abilities and starting gifts.]

Lily's heart raced as she read through the options tailored to her past:

1. Artisan: Skilled in crafting and creativity, artisans excel at creating tools and weapons.

2. Survivalist: Adept at living off the land, survivalists can gather resources and hunt with ease.

3. Diplomat: Gifted in negotiation and persuasion, diplomats can forge alliances and influence others.

4. Scholar: With a thirst for knowledge, scholars gain bonuses in magical understanding and lore.

5. Warrior: Trained in combat, warriors possess strength and skill in battle, able to wield various weapons.

6. Healer: Compassionate and nurturing, healers can mend wounds and cure ailments.

7. Ranger: Masters of tracking and archery, rangers excel in navigating natural environments.

The panel shimmered with insights from her life—her artistic skills, her struggles with confidence, and her desire to help others. Each class felt relevant, but the pressure of making the right choice was overwhelming.

“I need to understand my options better,” she said to herself, deciding to explore her surroundings first before making a decision.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Alia Kahn

In a vibrant meadow, Alia stood before a similar glowing panel. The landscape around her was filled with colorful flowers and a sparkling stream, fueling her excitement.

Her competitive nature made her gravitate toward the Warrior class, envisioning herself as a fierce champion. But the allure of magic as a Mage sparked her imagination, tempting her with visions of casting spells and wielding elemental forces.

“I can be both,” she whispered, feeling torn between the thrill of battle and the power of magic. “Maybe I should explore a bit first.”
