Chapter 2: Awakening (2)
A sudden wave of joy and ecstasy surged through his body. The flickering messages from the Awakened System before his vision sent ripples of emotions crashing through his mind.
From happiness and nostalgia to sadness and euphoria—an overwhelming flood of feelings rose to his throat, but he forced them down with a hard swallow. He pinched himself, wondering if what he saw was real and not a dream.
When he finally verified that it was real, the last system messages left him in utter shock.
"Did I awaken a Class?"
It didn't matter what kind of Class he had awakened—awakening one alone was an extraordinary feat. Only one in a million people could awaken a class, and some believed that the odds of getting it were even lower.
During the process of awakening, you have the chance to obtain a Skill, Trait, Talent, Power, or, in the rarest cases, a Class. Among all these, the one with the lowest probability of appearing was the Class, with less than a 1% chance of getting one.
Why? Because a Class could come with a combination of Skills and Traits (for example) that would make its bearer much more powerful than their peers.
Now, there are different Class ranks: Common, Rare, Epic, Mythic, and Legendary, which are the main ones. However, there are rumors of an even greater rank—the Divine Rank. But among all these ranks, one stood out as truly peculiar: the Unique Rank.
It is said that a Unique Rank Class could be anything—from Common Rank or Legendary Rank; the only peculiarity it needs to have is that it is unique and unparalleled.
Although that system of Unique Classes was a bit random, Elliot didn't care about its ranks.
He had awakened!
