On the other side.
In the pitch-black space where there are no stars or moon.
"Mortal, I am the overseer of this world, the god Kavni."
The man with short blond hair sat lazily on the stone chair, resting his chin on his hand, looking down at Linda below:
"Young warrior, become a hero, defeat the Demon King, and purify all the evil that shrouds the continent!"
"What?"
At first, Linda was quite excited, thinking that her golden touch had finally arrived.
Upon hearing the word 'Demon King,' his expression instantly fell.
As is widely known.
Mysterious Continent is a challenging fantasy adventure game where the player's main quest is to clear the World Tree Mystery Realm, obtain the Hero's Sword, and defeat the final Demon King.
In the game, it's alright; even a level 100 demon king is nothing special.
After grinding levels for a few months and spending 20,000 RMB, defeating the Demon King shouldn't be a problem.
Professional gamers like Linda can even complete the game without spending any money.
But what about in reality?
Level 100?
In White Dove City, where Linda lives, a large magical city with a population of one million, you can't even find a level 40 character.
Lia's Snow Goose Adventure Team has an average level of only 20, yet it is already a well-known team in White Dove City.
The strongest human adventurer is currently below level 70.
Therefore, defeating a level 100 demon king is completely impossible!
Linda looked earnestly at the blond man and said, "Defeating the Demon King and such is something that should be left to those who are more capable, right? As an ordinary person like me, I just want to buy a house and get married peacefully. You might as well just give me a large sum of gold coins and let me leave."
The blond deity named Kavni crossed his arms and shook his head arrogantly. "That won't do. According to the rules of the divine realm, anyone who enters must become a hero, or you'll be stuck here forever."
"Isn't this forcing someone to become a hero? If I become a hero and don't do anything productive, you'll be in a difficult position, won't you?"
Linda was stunned.
"Do you think I wanted to? These are rules set by the big shots above. Otherwise, why would this god choose a man like you? Wouldn't it be better to choose a beautiful girl as the hero?"
Enraged, Kafni stood up from the stone chair, all his previous dignified and respectable demeanor vanishing.
"Don't you dare look down on the gods, you lowly ant! Being a hero is non-negotiable! If I weren't going to be punished for failing to save the world, why would I waste my breath on a mortal like you?"
"So... do you understand now? Unless you're willing to defeat the Demon King, I, the god, will not let you out!"
Linda was completely bewildered.
After finally escaping Lia and enjoying a free life, he's now being forced to become a hero, defeat the Demon King, and save the world.
First, you can't spend money; second, you can't use cheats.
It would be nice to have a busty goddess assisting me, but instead, he turns out to be one of those ugly male cannon fodder characters from a novel.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Linda thought for a long time, then said helplessly, "If I become the hero, what benefits will you give me?"
"Ahem, let me see. According to the seventh edition of the 'Divine Salvation Student Handbook,' I can offer you three kinds of help."
Kafni pulled a small notebook from his pocket and read aloud: "One of the ways the gods can help the hero is to grant the chosen hero a profession, a comprehensive enhancement template, and improve growth potential."
Secondly, a high-quality legendary skill stone. But that will have to wait; it will take at least a day for the divine realm's delivery to arrive here.
Thirdly, the hero can wish for a custom skill, and the god will try his best to create it.
This is all the help I can give you.
"You had already completed the job change when you came in; you can check it yourself."
Kafni raised an eyebrow proudly, ready to accept Linda's compliment.
Linda opened the panel with some skepticism. After changing his class to Warrior, he didn't feel any increase in strength; in fact, he felt a bit weaker...
In this world, no one can have two professions at the same time. Linda's original profession was a level 15 Healer. If she changes to a Warrior, her Healer level will be overwritten.
In other words, he dropped from level 15 to level 0.
This is not good. If Leah finds out, she'll laugh at me to death.
But then Linda thought about it again and felt that something was wrong. After she became level 0, she seemed to be only a little weaker than a level 15 healer. There was no huge sense of loss.
It's true that the healer is a class with extremely weak combat abilities, but it shouldn't be comparable to a level 0 hero.
Linda silently said to herself, "Summon the panel."
A screen of light, remarkably similar to the game interface from my previous life, appeared.
Most striking is the line of text that shines like the sun after the occupation column:
Class: [Chosen Healer]
"This is?"
Linda was startled when she saw the attributes on the panel.
He was still a healer. At level 0, all his attribute values were no more than 10, and his weaknesses, strength and defense, were a pitiful 5. His initial skill was just a healing spell.
Now, all the values on the panel have reached double digits.
The initial skills are also quite numerous, and they can't all fit on one page.
Linda's gaze swept across the panel, which appeared before her eyes.
Name: Linda
Class: Chosen Healer
Level: 0
Health Points: 200
Magic: 13
Strength: 13
Defense: 12
Magic Defense: 17
Agility: 11
Resistance: None
Experience: 0/10 (10 more experience points needed to level up)
Inherent skills —
Libra Conservation (Legendary): Your power is always equal to your magic power.
Poison in the Heart (Legendary): You will master poison healing techniques.
Eye of Truth (Legendary): You can see the damage values you and others have dealt.
Hidden Skills —
Devour All Things (Dream Level): You will gain Mystic Points after killing a monster.
Equivalent Exchange (Dream Level): Mystic Points can be used to exchange for experience points, improve talents, skill proficiency, etc.
...
The reply from the brave warrior reveals that he's actually a well-rounded but somewhat haphazard profession?
Its initial magic defense of 17 is higher than that of a magic resistance tank.
Linda couldn't help but feel a little excited.
As a former professional gamer, he was well aware of the importance of initial attributes.
Initial attributes represent growth potential; their level directly determines whether an account is usable and can be used as a main character.
At level 0, if the five basic attributes on the panel add up to 50, it is considered an extremely excellent level.
In this real-world secret realm, he would be considered a genius.
Linda's previous Healer template had a total of only 37 across the five attributes.
The sum of the hero's five basic attributes is 66.
Starting health: 200, twice that of the Healer.
Linda pinched the soft flesh between her thighs, afraid that she was dreaming.
The Warrior class is now defined as a tanky healer with extremely high HP and magic defense, capable of healing.
No need for front-line protection, I am the front line myself!
