Chapter 60: Death

[[USER, ONE OF THE GAIA SYSTEM FUNCTIONS HAS BEEN ACTIVATED, BUT DUE TO SOME RULES, LIMITATIONS HAVE BEEN SET.]]]"Function, what function is this, can I choose two jobs, and what is the seed of darkness?"[[FIRST OF ALL, USER, BECAUSE OF YOUR LOW LEVEL OF AUTHORITY, I CANNOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. HOWEVER, YOU MAY CHOOSE FROM THESE NEARLY ONE HUNDRED JOBS TWO OF YOUR CHOICE, BUT THE SECOND ONE WILL BE LINKED TO THE EXISTENCE YOU REFER TO AS 'LILI']]"But lili doesn't have a status window, does it?"[If my stats are tied to Lux, it's not the same thing for him to get an extra job as for me to get one. What's the difference].Lili, who had been listening to my conversation with Gaia, stepped in and gave her opinion, which makes me more confused. what does Gaia mean?[I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONFUSION, USER, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE GAIA SYSTEM HAS FIXED. PLEASE, SECOND USER, VISUALIZE YOUR STATUS WINDOW]][I told you I don't have this window...!!!!?!!!!!]"Hey, Lili, what happened?"[I got it!]"¿?"[ I have a status window!]"... Is that even possible? I thought it was something only humans and semi-humans had the ability to acquire?"[[I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONFUSION, USER, AND WHILE I CAN'T GO INTO DETAIL, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE GAIA SYSTEM.]]"So the gaia system can intervene with the status window, huh."[ hey, Lux, don't you think it's too late to think that? The Gaia system has always been in the state window to begin with]]"...You're right, but now that it's making such a big intervention, I just realized that it's very likely that Gaia and whatever this state window is are linked more deeply than we thought."[...]"Well, I know I stopped thinking deeply about what this system entailed, and the origin of the status windows was never known, but do you know what it means that you also have status window now, that you have a job of your own will bring us more strength, since your way of fighting is different from mine, and there are some jobs that I could see that align with that."[Yes, yes, well, let's pick jobs fast, I want to see how good they are.]So, Lili and I started reading the descriptions of each job and their functions. To summarize, the jobs have several advantages depending on how you choose them.The most well known is that when you rank up, depending on the job, you are allotted ten percent extra stats to the stats that align with the job.A mage gets stats in intelligence, a guardian gets stats in defense, and if it's an assault guardian, you get the same amount in agility and strength. That's why the more complicated the name and the more words it has, the bigger the improvements are.If it's a class like (Rune Rock Guardian), a more advanced job, it makes when you have an upgrade it adds ten percent of the total stats in vitality, defense, intelligence and even improves the strength of ground spells. That's one of the perks of jobs, not to mention that if you get rare jobs, they may come with abilities that help develop traits.This runic rock guardian for example also has the ability to make users able to awaken the trait hardness which makes their spells have the characteristic of being much harder and tougher, and even more powerful traits like protection which has more range of application than hardness.That's why I need to select my job to maximize or better yet fill in parts of what I lack, something that is very difficult. But among all those jobs, there is one that especially caught my attention: Archon of Twilight Lightning.It's because one of the skills it grants is the "Balance" skill. It's a skill I've heard before and I think that's what I'm missing. Still, I kept looking and looking at all the classes. I was even able to see one that had "Fusion" as a given skill, but I already have it.I could also see my jobs I had in my previous life, but I don't need them the jobs related to heroes would draw too much attention plus the traits I could get from them I already have them and their skills are not impossible to get elsewhere instead (Balance).I never heard of a skill book that had it so that was my main reason for choosing it plus it seems to cover all my elements and it has the word archon in it which makes it a superior class that shouldn't appear in this rank, the reasons for choosing this class only solidify the more I think about it.So in the end I went back to "Twilight Lightning Archon", which was the only Archon class among all. Also, the "Balance" concept is something I have a lot of trouble with due to my light and dark elements being contradictory, and my intuition keeps tickling me that I have to choose it over the others. After pondering for a long while, I finally decided on this class which is very comprehensive for me.So I chose it. It was a tough decision as there were some tempting things in other jobs. Sometimes having a lot of choices is not good, but I'm just complaining.As for Lili, it looks like she is also thinking about what she will choose, so now I have time to look at my status page which has been updated.------------------------------------------------------------------------Status WindowName: LucienLevel: Awakened (4 stars)Job: Archon of Twilight LightningElemental Affinity: [Light] - [Lightning] - [Darkness].Elemental Trait:[(Lightning) Acceleration, Conductive, Punishing, Sealing][(Light) Regeneration, Will, Sacred, Rupture] - [(Light) Regeneration, Will, Sacred, Breakage][(Darkness) Assimilation, Concealment, Absorption, Absorption, Death]---------------------------------------------------------------------Stats:Strength: 43Agility: 46Intelligence: 61Defense: 34Vitality: 41Free stats: 72---------------------------------------------Skills:[EYES OF TRUTH (C)][BLINK (C)][FUSION (C)][DOPPELGANGER (C)][DEATH BLADE (C)][CHAIN OF LIGHTNING (C)][TRANSFORMATION (C)][BALANCE (C)][Covenant of the Twilight Phoenix:(A) sealed][Twilight Guardian's Contract(c)][Twilight Aura(C)]----------------------------------------------------------------------Spells:Lightning:[Electric Impulse] [Electric Spark] [Volt Arrow] [Lightning Net] [Electrostatic Field] [Ion Barrier] [Charge] [Static Glow] [Lightning Reflexes] [Static Fulgor] [Electroimmobilizer] [Fulminating Impact] [Fulminating Impact] [Vital Spark] [Charged Glow] [Electroshield] [Electroshield] [more->...]Light:[Beacon of Hope] [Aurora Guide] [Healing Pulse] [Redemptive Radiance] [Pure Luminescence] [Chained Dawn] [Vital Radiance] [Light of Courage] [Luminous Fortress] [Radiant Reflection] [Radiance of Clarity] [Glow of Resilience] [Glow of Determination] [more->....]Darkness:[Shadowy Concealment] [Thick Mist] [Wandering Shadow] [Tenebrous Absorption] [Cloak of Darkness] [Threshold of Gloom] [Enveloping Abyss] [Tenebrous Essence] [Night Mist] [Speed of Shadows] [Cloak of the Void] [Embrace of Darkness] [more->....]Non-Elemental:[Mental Impact] [Detect Presence] [Mana Shield] [Noise Reduction] [Mental Link] [Reinforced Fortitude] [Rapid Recovery] [more->...]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Arts:Art of the Elemental Knight (All Elements).Art of the Sun God (Light, Fire, Lightning, Metal)Art of the Heavenly Punishment (Lightning, Wind)Art of the Eternal Night (Darkness)Art of the Eclipse (Lightning, Light, Dark)-------------------------------------------------------------------->>Gaia System<<----------------------------------------------------------------------I was about to analyze my new skills, but something stole all my attention."¿? Wait a minute... what's that?" when I was looking at my status, I already knew almost everything that was in store for me and as I thought, the jobs part was added and my stats went way up, as well as a set of new skills, so I didn't mind, but there was something that didn't add up.Looking again to see if he saw wrong, I look again, but it's still there."Hey, Lili..."[...]"Lili!"[What, can't you see I'm trying to pick a job!!! It's my first time doing it, so stop bothering me!]"Hey, Lili, what did you do!? What's that (Death) trait? What is that!? Is something like that even possible!?"[Aren't you seeing it? Stop bothering me, I'll explain later. Let me pick the job].I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Lili and I had been exchanging some ideas for a long time, even from our previous life, about possible new traits we could awaken if we had the ability to ascend.From what I understood, I was supposed to take this opportunity to awaken the Demonic trait, one of the most powerful traits we know. But as much as I look at it, I don't understand how from Demonic it went to Death.This is the first time I see it and even think about the possibility of this trait, but Lili somehow did this. I can't even
