SSS- bloodline assimilation

the wheel had a total of 9 different colors, each corresponding to the different talent levels.

the talent levels in order of weakest to strongest were F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.

the higher the level of the talent the less likely it is to get it. the chances of getting each talent went like this.

F-35%

E-30

D-15%

C-10%

B-9%

A-1%

Talents above the A level weren't available to the lower level gaming pods. with the price of the cheapest gaming pod being $1,000 the price is multiplied by 10 for the next level gaming pod.

so an intermediate level game pod gives the chance to obtain an S level talent for the cost of $10,000 . it would also cost $100,000 to get the chance to obtain a SS level talent from an advanced level gaming pod. with the only way to get a SSS level talent being from one of the 10 highest level gaming pods like the one Lucas has or try to obtain one through the game.

'so it's pretty much impossible to obtain a heaven-defying talent without pouring a lot of money in the game and even then you would still need a certain amount of luck' thought Lucas as he smirked.

'but that's not my problem'

[ detected that the user has one of 10 other-world divine artifacts that allows an enhancement in the talent wheel. would you like to enhance the talent wheel? ]

"of course" Lucas said

as the words left Lucas' mouth he saw a change in the talent wheel. the wheel that originally looked like a rainbow was now solid gold. it seemed the developers were telling the truth when they said that anyone who obtains a highest level gaming pod is guaranteed to obtain a SSS talent as even though Lucas wasn't able to tell what each talent on the wheel was he was still able to clearly see the big SSS in front of each one.

Lucas impatiently spun the wheel as he knew the beginning of his bright future was right in front of him as he could finally have a chance to turn his life around and get everything he could have ever wanted.

the wheel spun for a few seconds before slowing down and landing on the talent that would accompany him for the rest of his game career.

[ SSS bloodline assimilation- absorb and integrate the bloodline of all monsters into yourself allowing a permanent increase in stats and a 10% chance of obtaining a skill from the monster absorbed.

when absorbing and integrating a human bloodline into yourself you can permanently increase your stats, a 10% chance of obtaining a skill from the human, and a 1% chance of stealing their talent. ](unawakened)

Lucas smiled as he was able to tell that this was the type of talent that wouldn't be as strong as other SSS level talents in the beginning but by the end game all the accumulated stats and skills would form a snowball effect that would turn him into an unstoppable force.

Lucas wasn't worried about the unawakened tag at the end of his talent as he it was common knowledge to the players that they had to go to the village chief in order to get his talent awakened.

Lucas already had an idea of what he would do at the beginning of the game.

first he would go to the village chief to get his talent awakened.

next he would go to the village blacksmith in order to get his novice equipment and hopefully a quest.

then right after he was done talking to the village blacksmith he would go kill some wild monsters so that he can start using his talent otherwise without his talent he would get left behind by the other players making it hard for him to make any money from the game.

Lucas was already looking forward to the time when he could go to his parents after making a fortune and leading them to a better life.

[ talent selection complete. please choose a name for your character.]

"Eckhart" said Lucas

it was the name of Lucas' favorite philosopher who taught the four stages of the union between soul and god. Lucas especially liked the description of the ultimate stage "the soul is above god" as he felt that even if the gods in the heavens wouldn't help him then he would create his own paradise by himself through his own perseverance.

[ please choose whether to join the dark faction or the light faction. ]

"light faction" Lucas said without a second thought as picking the dark factions would make him enemies with the holy church and every kingdom of the light faction.

[ would you like to adjust your appearance by up to 10%? ]

"yes" replied Lucas as he knew that it would be foolish for him to use his true appearance because of his SSS talent unless he's inviting trouble in the real world.

[ please wait a minute as you are assigned to a novice village]

with that Lucas was teleported out of the temple in a white flash of light with the temple staying the same except for a faint smile appearing on the spirits face before going back to normal soon after.
