Chapter 23 - Choices!
Breathing Technique. Not bad.
"Well although breathing techniques like this were popular in my previous life they were mainly for players that were heavily involved in magic like mages and so on."
"Either way the diary did say that I didn't I have to be a mage in training to receive his inheritance. I shouldn't knock it till I've tried it at least."
Alex sat himself in a lotus position as seen in the first picture. He looked deeply and found that he had to circulate Mana in a certain pattern. Talking a moment to memorize the pattern he inhaled deeply before breathing out again.
Huaaah* Puh* Huaaah* Puh*
Feeling a slightly tingling of warmth enter his abdomen he circulated the Mana as per the picture. It wasn't easy by all means as he felt himself boiling over as sweat found itself on his forehead.
This took absolute concentration.
Yet Alex persisted.
Circulating it from his abdomen around his inner organs and up to his heart. Once his heart can in contact with the Mana he found his skin turn red and blood leaked from his nose and ears ever so slightly.
Feeling his chest overcome with pain he gritted his teeth and carried on the circulation from his heart back to his abdomen.
As soon as the first cycle finished Alex was greeted with a system notification.
[Congratulations you have learned Alatar The Great Breathing Technique!]
[Would you like to accept the quest: Alatar's successor! (SSS+)]
[YES or NO!]
"A quest huh, well I've learned the skill and only good can come from a quest of this difficulty."
"Although I have 0 knowledge of this quest from my memories, this just goes to show that the game really is bigger than what it seems. Maybe it would be good to do something that I haven't done in my previous life this time around."
With that thought in mind Alex firmly pressed 'yes'.
[You have been awarded the title 'Road To Successor']
[Would you like to accept the Legendary Hidden Class 'Alatar's Successor']
[Yes or No]
"LEGENDARY HIDDEN CLASS!"
"Whattt!"
"I knew that there was a chance that the quest would lead to something like a hidden class as an award but hello. A free handout like this a the start."
"What's even more insane is that it's a Legendary class."
Even in his previous life the number of Legendary classes could be counted on one or two hands throughout the entire game.
Too those that did have them they turned into players that stood at the very top of the game thanks to the perks of the class when levelling and so on.
The envy of all players. Alex included. Even though he was arguably the greatest after 10 years of playtime he on had a EPIC rated class built for assassins and he only switched to that after 8 years.
After that he spent 2 years taking the game by storm with when he established mayhem.
"Either way I have to accept this class even if it means diverting from the assassin class in the future. Legendary is just impossible to turn down."
Clicking 'yes' he tried his best to rain in his expectation to the class as he swallowed nervously.
[You have switched to Legendary Hidden Class 'Alatar's Successor']
[You have been demoted to LVL 1]
"huh"
"Demoted? Well there goes the level advantage I had compared to others."

"Huh? These stat points aren't level 1 stat points."
"Hahaha I'm stronger than I was before I got demoted. Wait does this mean that I can regain more stat points when I level up again to level 10!?"
"These skills? To be honest there aren't a lot of skills for it to be classed as Legendary. Does this have to do with me being a partial successor?"
Alex browsed his status before checking the title 'Road To Successor' description.
'Road To Successor' - The title given to Alatar's partial successor. For progression in the successorship's quest rewards the player with more of Alatar's inheritance.
"Well it does make sense, even though It's kind of a headache to hunt down the remaining diary's I guess this adds something to down while I rise to the top again. hehe."
"Hmm what about these bonus skills though?"
'Alatar's Dexterity." Grants player swift movement not only in speed but also in occupation. Player will be granted +2 attribute points to agility upon level up as well as a passive ability to preform better when player moves his hands.
"Wait that's insane. This will allow me to be faster and stronger than my previous life once I level up since I have this class now. Even just for this bonus It's worth it to my assassin ability's."
"If I was already fast previously now ho ho."
As he continued to browse the skills he found "Alatar's Intelligence."
Grants player added bonus of +4 intelligence upon level up. Passive ability to learn quicker and gain insight into skills faster.
"HAHAHA!"
"This class is broken. This means that I can rank my skills up faster through Insight. This is just built for me. I have my experience of 10 years ready to fast forward me through skill levels with this."
"What about 'One With The World' then."
'One With The World' causes the player to be loved by Mana. For the successor to not be able to progress when it comes to Mana is laughable.
"Interesting. This really could take me too different heights in game. If I can become stronger than my previous life I'll pretty much be unrivalled in game."
