Ancient Shinobi Scroll
After more than six hours, the tribe was still full of players. Klaus didn't care about them, as none of them could help him for the time being, so he went to visit the Tribal Chief.
In Clash of Heroes, players couldn't see each other's levels. Only using the Identify skill, could the players see other players' levels. If the other party is 5 levels above them, even with an Identify ability, it will only show "????".
As this was the first 100% VRMMO game, players were not yet used to doing certain things, like check the levels of other players. Thanks to that, nobody stopped Klaus to reach the Tribal Chief. Otherwise, with a level 8 player walking the streets? Of course, players would bother him.
"Tribal Chief, I have all the items you requested." said Klaus as he handed the white wolf's fangs to the Tribal Chief.
--------------------------------------------
"Ding! Normal Quest [Exterminate the Wolves] completed. You have received 1500 EXP, 1 Silver."
--------------------------------------------
"Thank you for your help, Lord Hero. Now wolves are not going to bother us for now." Replied the tribal chief as he bowed.
"By the way, tribal chief. I have this scroll with which I need your help." Klaus picked the [Ancient Shinobi Scroll] to show it to the Tribal Chief. As he was already at level 8, now he could now go for his specialization.
--------------------------------------------
[Ancient Shinobi Scroll] (Super-Hidden Specialization)
Description: After a player reach level 5 or higher and before choose any Specialization, show this item to the Tribal Chief and he will tell you how to activate this Super-Hidden Specialization.
Class Requirement: Ninja
--------------------------------------------
"Oh, For the Ancient Goddess Demeter! You are a candidate to Faith Hero !" said the Tribal Chief shocked.
"Candidate to Faith Hero? What's that Tribal Chief?" now it was Klaus's turn to be shocked. He never heard that term before. Not even in his boss's report or the Game Forum. It looks like this is classified information.
"A Faith Hero is what we, the native peoples, call someone chosen by the gods. Each century, there can only be 4 Faith Heroes and dozens of champions across the land. However, it is these 4 Faith Heroes that rule an Era. It looks like you still need to prove yourself to the gods. Listen to me and prepare well, Lord Hero! This scroll can be used only once! If you become a Faith Hero, you will gain incredible power! "Said the tribal chief, bowing even more.
Previously, the tribal chief bowed because of his high reputation as a Worshiped, but now it was because his faith in gods! This scroll was made by gods to choose their candidate. If he didn't show respect for them, how did he expect to survive another day?
Klaus was looking at the tribal chief in amazement. He didn't know he had found such a thing! While looking at the scroll again, he found the words "Super-Hidden specialization" different now.
It seems that the "Faith Hero" belongs to the
"Tribal chief, how can I take the test to become a Faith Hero?"
"I will activate this scroll. You will have to go where indicated and face the test of the gods. If you pass, you will become a Faith Hero and earn this specialization. If you fail, you will lose the chance to become a Faith Hero forever and just get a normal specialization!" Said the Tribal Chief as he prepared to activate the scroll.
--------------------------------------------
"Dii meam audiunt vocant, eu hoc libro fieri Antiqua Shinobi. Eu!" (basically means in latin: Gods hear my call and activate this scroll to become an Ancient Shinobi. Activate!")
--------------------------------------------
A bright light suddenly blinded everyone, 5 km from the scroll. While everyone was blinded, a small white ball gently fell from the sky and touched the scroll. Then the light disappeared and the scroll flew to Klaus and vanished.
--------------------------------------------
"Ding! Congratulations! You have activated the [Ancient Shinobi Scroll]!"
[Ancient Shinobi Scroll] :
- You have to follow the path on the east side of the tribe until you reach The Waterfall of Truth. (0/1)
- ( ... )
- ( ... )
After completing the mission, new information will be added.
--------------------------------------------
Klaus saw the notifications and, instead of walking towards the waterfall, asked the Tribal Chief first: "Tribal Chief , do you know a place where I cannot be interrupted for a few minutes? I need to do something before I proceed to my specialization. It's very important.
"Of course, Lord Hero. Here, enter my humble cabin. You can stay there as long as you want that no one will bother you. I promise!" replied the tribal chief as he opened the door.
Klaus entered the house and closed the door. He was going to activate the [Sharingan] bloodline. As this hidden specialization was very important for him, he needed to be at his best! As soon as he took the [Sharingan] out of his backpack and activated it, the eyes flew towards his face.
The eyes penetrated his own eyes and started to devore it! To activate the [Sharingan] bloodline, he first needed to "sacrifice" his own eyes to give space to the new ones. And since this was a bloodline ritual, the pain inflicted was 100%!
----------------
In Clash of Heroes, the minimum pain parameters were 10%, and the maximum pain parameters were 50%. So, if players had the maximum pain (which was 50%), they would feel half the pain in the real world.
For example, if in real life someone stabbed you with a knife in your hand, you would feel 100% pain, but in the game, players could only feel a maximum of 50% pain. Obviously, most players wanted to enjoy the game, so they used the minimum pain parameters of 10%.
Whoever it is! When someone wanted to activate a bloodline, no matter which one, they would suffer 100% pain when activating it! That was cruel, but it was reality! In real world, "No Pain No gain" was true, just like in the game!
----------------
As his own eyes were being devoured by the new ones, Klaus was feeling unbearable pain in his head. When he tried to move his hands to his face, Klaus realized that his own body was not moving! He could only stay there, feeling pain all over his face and bleeding like a fountain!
The scene was very bloody. It looked like old movies, where when someone stabs someone and suddenly the blood flows as if there is no tomorrow. (Completely different from reality.)
This scene happened because in virtual reality games, players have "infinite" blood. Although Klaus was losing small amounts of HP, the blood effects were very high.
Five minutes of pain passed, and Klaus still thought he was in hell. That kind of thing was pure torture! That's probably the way the Game Creators found it to deal with his mightiness and handsomeness! It has to be!
As this was a game, he couldn't pass out from the pain, so he stayed there for 10 minutes suffering like a prisoner. When finally 10 minutes passed, he felt like he was in heaven!
Like an angel who came down from heavens and was caressing his wounds while saying, "Don't worry, my child, the pain is gone..."

"Ding! Congratulations Player [Shameless] for activating the [Sharingan] bloodline. For information related about the bloodline, please find it yourself."
