Sweet! Fenrir created a special class just for me? was my first thought and it's an even better version of the character class that I was going to choose anyways? This I had got to see.

Well... I thought to myself. Just because the god Fenrir created it for me doesn't mean that it can't be a dud afterall, who knows what a demon wolf from the Norse Eddas thinks is good. I could end up a blood knight who literally can't do anything but battle! Battle! BATTLE! And while this sounded good on paper, I thougt. It's not really something I want for myself in the long run.

[System message: Do you want to hear a little bit about the perks of being a Blood Berserker? Afterall, it's a unique character class that was made just for you and it accounts for all your strengths and weaknesses]

Sure, I'll bite this Blood Berserker class sounds cool as hell what exactly can one do as a blood berserker. I wondered wholeheartedly giving the character class the benefit of the doubt. Afterall, it was created especially for me I got to wonder what does the God Fenrir see in me. Gods are supposed to be all knowing afterall and I always found Fenrir to be a particularly cool god.

"Well, what does the God Fenrir have in store for me?" I accidentally thought out loud?

"Fenrir, has something special in store for you? It's probably the Berserker class."

Said Jacques as if this were all the confirmation that he needed. "I told you he was one of them Conan the Barbarian type characters"

"Oh yeah, it's definitely a berserker class." Said Monroe "I can tell just by the look of consideration on his face. It has 100% got to be the berserker class and he's wondering whether he can still be the leader if he's constantly going berserk." He gave me a knowing look. "Not going to lie, if you can't control your berserker self. Leadership is going to defer to either me or Jacques, hell Alex might even be in the running."

I shot Monroe a glace as if I was saying 'Fuck You for being right.' He gave a condescending smirk. Pretty sure that was the paladin in him talking. But I'm sure he knew what that look was supposed to mean.

[Blood Berserker: A deviant mutation of the Berserker class, in addition to the normal Berserker abilities that include enhanced strength, speed, dexterity and endurance as well as the berserker rage one can also access a deeper bloodline rage. During bloodline rage one seeks to protect the people that one considers their family and will prioritize above all else. This is also a deeper rage than the berserker rage in that it is usually hopeless to communicate with one that is in this deeper bloodline rage.]

So explain to me exactly how this bloodline rage works exactly, will I be able to access the bloodline rage at any time I want to or will it activate automatically. I certainly hope it wouldn't be the later as I would need to communicate with my teammates since I was technically their leader

[One can choose to activate Bloodline Rage but the action costs 50 MP, this skill however automatically activates when the user's family members are on the brink of death and they want to attempt to save them. By selecting do you want to enter bloodline rage in this scenario. In addition to this as a Blood Berserker you would not only get a 5x stats buff to all your stats but also passive regen and healing as well as a 10x stats buff when your health enters the red zone with only 10% left.]

Woah, now that sounded really cool. I thought to myself. This must be the skill that the blood berserker class was named after. I did love my friends as if they were my family.

"So this ability would make me want to protect my friends and family even more than it already did." I mused. The system was right Fenrir had created this character class especially for me.

Hell, I loved them even more than my family and I thought about all of them as if they were my nakama. That term was coined in Shounen anime like Naruto, Bleach and One Piece as well as Fairy Tale which was particularly famous for their supposed abuse of how nakama worked.

Honestly, even though Fairy Tale was a little hokey with it's concept of nakama it was also something I found particularly endearing about the show how the entirety of the organization found itself as one big family taking in orphans and runaways like it was nobodies business and raising them up to be competent and upstanding members of their society.

For those who don't know and who aren't particularly cultured Nakama was a term that meant friends who were as close as family. Something similar to the concept of found family. My found family included Monroe, Jacques, Alex, my girlfriend Michelle and my childhood best friend Melanie.

They were people I wouldn't trade for the world. It was cool that this Bloodline Rage ability would allow me to capitalize on my love for my friends but this also worried me. Would I be able to coordinate the best strategy with them if my thoughts were solely about getting revenge for wounding my friends?

No this skill wouldn't be the best thing for a leader. Although it was hella cool and did sound like something I would take if I was in a dungeons and dragons campaign it was not something that would be the best thing for a leader to have in real life.

[Incoming Message! Incoming Message!]

I opened it up to see what it was. It was probably Fenrir come to ask me what was taking so long to choose the class he had especially made for me. Since, he did favor me afterall, it would be a slight if I didn't take it.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

[Fenrir: Hey there Champ, just saw you look over the character class I spent a while creating just for you. Just wonderin' what's taking so long for you to choose it. Do you not like it? From what I gleaned from reading your mind this character class would be perfect for you.[

It would be perfect, I thought, If the Blood Berserker class didn't come with the draw back that I lost all clarity of reason when my friends were hurt. I suppose it was touching that you knew I thought so deeply of all my friends but seriously being in a berserk state like that when there is a crisis in real life is bound to have consequences. Plus it just looks bad if you're the leader and won't stop hitting something long after it's dead.

Then I got a response from Fenrir since you know he knew exactly what I was thinking. Honestly, he should have known a while ago when I was thinking about the drawbacks but whatever, I guess beggars can't be choosers.

[Fenrir: Ah yeah that! Harhar! You're still hung up about that little detail. You didn't even let the system message finish and tell you what else you have in store for you. A little present from me just because I love you son. It's a blessing that should all and make up for any detriment this class has by the way it's an innate blessing so nothing should ever be able to take it away since it is literally part of you.]

Well then why make the character class like this in the first place? I thought back at Fenrir, if you're just going to give me a blessing to take the berserk out of the bloodline rage state that the Blood Berserker is known for.

[Fenrir: I suppose you're wonderin' why in all the hells would you make this god forsaken class like this if you're fixing to take this curse away from me. Well, you see this class might be made for you but other chosen ones might want to use it in the future and well we can't have one particular class be too overpowered that would just break the balance of the universe more so than the Void Creatures ever could and that would just give them more power.

I'm flattered that you're breaking the game so much for me, but are you sure you should be doing this? The void creatures seemed hard to fight already. I don't think you should give them more power.

[Hell, I went out on a limb even making this class. You're the exception though specifically because I like you, you and Michelle remind me a little bit of myself and my then girlfriend, now wife back when we were your age. Also, we ain't giving those nasty void creatures and void demons more power we just allocated more of our assets for you because we like you and all. Well, truth be told we like your whole pack or party but since you're the leader we're giving you this super awesome class and super awesome blessing what do you have to lose?]

So what's this new blessing that you're trying to push on me? I thought mildly amused.

[Fenrir: It's called Clarity of the Blood Berserker, and it's an outgrowth of the Clarity of the Berserker blessing normal Berserkers get.]

[Blessing: Clarity of the Blood Berserker.

Description: You are able to think as clearly when you are in a blood rage as you would normally or even more so. You would not only be able to understand what is being said to you and strategize with your fellow team members but you also get a 0.5 times boost to intelligence whenever Bloodline Rage is active. You are also not lead astray by your emotions you think rationally above all else and just move to act as the situation calls for it. In essence you get clarity of mind from your Bloodline Rage state even more so than you would normally. Consider yourself lucky to have this great blessing.]

Well that basically allays all my worries about becoming a monster that thought only battle. Thanks Fenrir for this great gift now I can live out my dreams without so much as a second thought.

[Fenrir: Oh, you'll be a monster alright! Just a different type of monster. You'll still have access to all of your rational faculties don't you worry. You'll become a monster but you'll like the type of monster you become. They always do.[

[You seem to want to choose the class Blood Berserker. Are you sure you want to choose this class.]

[Y/N]

I picked yes and immediately I could feel the rush of power fill me. It was unlike anything I had ever felt before. It felt like I was becoming someone, someone powerful. And Fenrir was indeed right I liked who I was becoming.

[You are allowed five skills as a blood berserker. Do you want to pick these five skills?]

[Y/N]

Hell yes I want to be able to choose these skills. I thought to myself. I wanted to be an all rounder I had to take care of my family afterall. Okay so what the hell do ya got?

[Blood Weapon Creation: Create a melee weapon from your very own blood. This ability varies based on their user and the needs of their weapon and fighting style. You will always be able to ave the Blood Weapon that you will create for yourself and it will not break, bend and tear like other weaponry and once the weapon solidifies there will be no telling that it was originally created with blood magick. Cantrip. A specialty of many blood related classes.]

So Blood Berserker, Also meant that we would have a secondary function as a blood mage. Fenrir probably took into account my wanting to be a mage as well when creating this class for me. So I was wondering if this was going to be a weapon created from my own blood or someone else's blood. I didn't think it really mattered.

[Fenrir: Don't worry son, It'll be your own blood but you won't feel anything. The blood will just seep out it won't be like you'll actually feel anything or rip an arm or a leg open for the amount of blood that's required and yes, you can also use your opponents blood as well. As long as you get the blood somehow this ability doesn't care how you get it.]

Okay, so I clicked yes I obviously wanted that weapon. For some reason I was certain it was going to be a two handed broadsword that I would be able to wield with just one hand I felt it in my soul and if taking this skill would essentially get me that weapon that would always be with me than I sure as hell would take it.

[Blood Spike- An area of affect spell that summons giant blood spikes all around the surrounding enemies. This can be targeted to as many as 50 enemies but only does a little bit of damage unless te opponent is directly impaled on the spike deals as much as 25 damage when impaled deals as little as 10 damage when not. This ability can be used for as many times as you have mana available, however, each target consumes three points of mana.]

This second skill also seemed pretty useful and would allow me to take on multiple enemies at once sure it depleted many like hell but at least if all my mana ran out I could still take a wack at things if my mana was all the way depleted. Assuming that I won't die as soon as the mana was gone.

[Fenrir: Don't worry, you won't die if the mana is all used up you can still just take a wack at things with a big stick if there's still fight in ya.]]

I definitely took the second skill as well.

[Blood Shield: This ability allows you to make a shield out of blood. The shield then reduces magical damage taken by half and completely nullifies physical damage, the shield itself is alive and moves to any part of the body that's attacked so it's often useful to engage this particular skill when going to an unknown location. Costs 20 mana everytime it's cast and the shield itself lasts for 50 points of damage.]

This was yet another skill I wanted to take and I thought that taking this skill would leseen Jacque's job of trying to defend me. This skill also seemed pretty cool. Like Gaara's sand from Naruto. This skill was something that would definitely come in useful later down the line, maybe if I was going in for solo missions and the like.

[Vampiric Drain: This skill allows you to drain 2 hp per minute from the surrounding environment also allows you to establish a link to your opponent from which you drain 5 hp per minute as long as this ability is active or up to 50 hp in one fell swoop. Warning this ability drains you mana at a rate of 5 mana points per minute if cast as a sustained spell or 50 hp in one fell swoop if cast as an instant spell.]

Sweet! An ability that restores HP this would definitely pair well with my bloodline rage ability. I thought to myself. This ability would make sure that I had staying power as a unit and acted as a self heal when Monroe's Healing touch wasn't able to get to us.

[System Message: Congratulations on choosing most of your abilities, you get one final ability for now so make it count. I don't want you to end up regretting the last ability you're going to end up getting for quite some time so I hope you're happy with the decision you've made.]

I read the options for my last ability and they were as follows.

[Blood shotgun- Fire a bullet of crystallize blood like a shot gun that can pierce enemy lines like a real bullet pierces armor.]

OR

[Blood Blades- Create a blood blades from your arms that you can use in melee combat or fire at your opponent for area of affect damage.[

Whatever ability I would choose would be the final ability.
