Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 9: A Unique Destiny

A Unique Destiny

[ Player Evaluation Complete! A Unique Class and Destiny has been decided to be bestowed to the player ]

Leo looked at the system screen and was pleasantly surprised by the text that said that he was going to be given a unique class.

Who did not like to think of themselves as the main character of a novel and have a unique destiny? However, little did he know that his new class was more trouble than good.

[ Congratulations player, your overall evaluation is A+ grade!

Since the player has achieved the highest score out of all the individuals in sector E on all four arc ships, the player will be given the unique class – Actor.

To aid and abet the player in his main mission, the player will be given the special title ‘Fake It Till You Make It’

A special welcome box corresponding to an A+ evaluation has been prepared for the player and has been sent to player inventory.

To access the inventory please speak the words ‘Open Inventory’

Leo felt extremely happy at being informed that he had the highest score of all E ranked passengers aboard the arc ship as this was the kind of skill that made one develop an ego complex.

He was grinning from ear to ear as he clicked on the further information option as he did not quite understand what the actor class or fake it till you make it title was supposed to do? However, all his initial excitement turned to horror once he read the details about his class.

CLASS – ACTOR ( UNIQUE )

This class has been created as nothing more than a social experiment.

The user of this class can bypass the restrictions of walking down a single focused path, however, it also means that the user will find it harder to master any single art.

The user of this class will be used as an experiment to see if those who pretend to be hidden masters, without having the skill to back it up can actually become real masters if their con is not caught for an extended period of time.

When the game officially opens and more than a 10,000 players reach level10, a levelling leader board will open and the inheritor of this class will be displayed to be 10 levels above the number2 ranked player even if that is not the reality.

The player will be issued several quests that he/she must complete to survive, to keep doing the bare minimum to be called a hidden expert until the actor actually becomes one or is found out to be a fraud.

NOTE – The player inheriting the actor class can never disclose his/her identity or class to anyone within the gaming world or the real world and must lie about his class whenever asked.

NOTE – The ankle bracelet given to every passenger of the arc ship monitors your activity outside the gaming world and will instantly kill you if you knowingly reveal any information about this class.

NOTE – The player inheriting the actor class can never join a guild or any other official organization unless it is for a system generated mission and must always play solo.

TITLE – Fake it till you make it.

The player inheriting this title will gain experience points and bonus attributes when acting like he/she is a bigshot.

The system strongly suggests that the player act aloof and lofty to maximize the benefits of the title.

ADDED BONUS – You can change your display panel within a set range of parameters, completely as per your discretion to help in your act.

As Leo read about the class that he had been given as well as the title and its effects he felt the gaming world spin under his feet as he felt slightly sick.

He never wanted to be treated like a social experiment, to play the part of a hidden expert either until he actually became one or until he was caught in the act.

What was even worse was the information that the bracelets tracked the activity of all players in real life as well, which meant that when he and Luke sat down to discuss the game, he could never be truly honest about what class he was or what missions he was doing.

Hidden expert?

No class restrictions?

The ability to alter his status panel at will?

Leo was not sure as to how he was going to play his character in the future, however, what he was sure of was the fact that he was definitely going to fake it till he made it.

Even if it was all a con, in his mind he knew that he was going to play the role of the con-man till the wolves circled in on him as even if he was cornered, he was never going to admit to anyone in a moment of weakness that he was a fraud.

Although he did not know it yet, the system by reading his memories deemed him the least likely to crack under pressure and having the most chances to make this acting gig work, which was why he was given this unique destiny, on-top of his extraordinary skills.

***********

( Meanwhile Luke )

Luke received a B grade in the reflex test, a B grade in the cognitive ability test and a S+ grade in combat!

His result was a mirror opposite of that of his brother as his S+ grade in combat meant that he went above the conventional grading system and was a rare generational talent when it came to fighting.

His overall evaluation also came out to be A+ grade as he was given the highly recognised class ‘ Warrior ‘.

Unlike Leo he was not given a unique destiny or a title, but amongst the items given to him in his welcome bonus kit there was a ‘Token Of Honor’ which was meant to be shown in the school of battlemages in Crystal City.

As for what the token represented or what benefits it gave, there was no information to be accessed, however, Luke was happy with how things turned out for him.
