Chapter 12

The official website did not reveal the specific skills of the nine major classes, but it did provide explanations of each class’s characteristics. In the introduction to the Druid class, the point that most interested Charles Bennett was: “As the Druid grows stronger, they can learn various animal transformations, even fighting in the forms of fierce beasts, truly living up to the title of Child of Nature. At the same time, after the class branches at level 10, they excel at both ranged and melee combat…”

“Transformation!”

For Charles Bennett, who excelled at all kinds of disguise techniques, the Druid’s various transformations were undoubtedly attractive and felt familiar. Moreover, in his real-life bounty hunter team, he had always served as the long-range fire support, which also fit his style perfectly.

After pondering for a moment, Charles Bennett finally dragged the emerald green Druid icon in front of himself.

“Class confirmed: Druid.”

“Now, esteemed player, please be patient. Once you complete the final step, your game character will be officially confirmed.”

“Please name your game character.”

“Name!?” Charles Bennett was momentarily stunned. Having never played a game before, he had clearly forgotten about this step. After a brief daze, he decided to use a rather ordinary name: “Embrace Nature.”

“We’re sorry, esteemed player. This name has already been taken. Please choose another.”

“Even such a common name is taken?” Charles Bennett frowned and decided to try something a bit flashier this time: “Forest Wanderer.”

“We’re sorry, esteemed player. This name has already been taken. Please choose another.”

Charles Bennett’s frown deepened, and this time he decided to go for something even cooler: “King of the Forest.”

“We’re sorry, esteemed player…”

Something sneakier: “Stab You Quietly from Behind.”

“We’re sorry…”

Something a bit risqué: “Split the Character ‘Kun’.”

“We’re sorry…”

Something silly: “I Am a Bear.”

“We’re sorry…”

Charles Bennett tried nearly a hundred names in a row, his expression growing darker and darker. His previously calm mood was impossible to maintain, and he couldn’t help but curse out loud: “Are these people crazy? Even these names are taken?”

In his fit of rage, Charles Bennett was completely unaware that, at this very moment, countless other players were probably cursing just as fiercely as he was.

Taking a deep breath, Charles Bennett sat in silent contemplation for a long while, then slowly typed in three characters: “绝千回!”

“Player name confirmed—Jason Carter, naming successful. Now proceeding to final confirmation.”

“Player Jason Carter, race: Night Elf. Gender: Male. Class: Druid. Final confirmation, do you accept?”

“Accept!”

“Entering scan, player character creation complete.”

“The continent of Rheinlons is divided into the Order and Chaos factions. Player Jason Carter, please confirm your faction.”

Charles Bennett looked longingly at the Chaos faction. As a bounty hunter, he was best at blending into chaos, and honestly, the name ‘Chaos’ suited his temperament. But as information about his current mission flashed through his mind, Charles Bennett had no choice but to reluctantly give up on the Chaos side.

“Faction confirmed—Order.”

“Final confirmation of player information—Jason Carter, race: Night Elf. Gender: Male. Class: Druid. Faction: Order, Level: 1. Now, esteemed player Jason Carter, please select a map within the Order faction as the starting point for your adventure.”

The system’s deep and pleasant voice swept by like the wind, and a huge map projection appeared in front of Charles Bennett, displaying the specific regions of the five great kingdoms of the Order faction on the continent of Rheinlons.

To the west, the Western Kingdom of Aisolan, composed of hills, forests, and plateaus…

At the center of the five kingdoms, a vast red area on the map projection—the Dragon Empire…

An entire kingdom of highlands, home to the continent’s most powerful cavalry—the Longruida Highland Kingdom…

The Ice and Snow Mountains, world-renowned for their dazzling gems and ice crystals…

To the south by the sea, to the north by the mountains, with more than half the kingdom covered by forest—the Weiqin Forest…

Hundreds of red dots were marked on the massive map projection. Charles Bennett understood that these red dots were the places the system referred to as starting points for adventures.

His gaze swept across the map of the five kingdoms. At this point, Charles Bennett had no reason to hesitate. He casually reached out and clicked on one of the red dots.

“Player Jason Carter’s starting location confirmed: Weiqin Forest—near Wind Whisper Town. Now entering ‘Night Lord.’ Wishing you a pleasant adventure. 3-second countdown begins…”

“3”

“2”

“1”

Under the star-studded night sky, a milky white pillar of light suddenly descended, enveloping the figure of a Night Elf. As the sound of war drums echoed across the vast plains, the pillar of light slowly faded, and Charles Bennett disappeared along with it.
