Honestly and truly, his status sheet was ridiculous. His stats alone were almost inhuman, more than three times higher than an unclassed should be - nearly four times in the case of his mental stats. Even just having three additional sections - discounting Aspects - for Honours, his hymns, and A Father’s Gift, beggared belief.
He had to be amongst the most powerful unclassed to ever exist. Pride and satisfaction thrummed through his chest, his heart pumping to the tune of his successes. Hiding the thin current of venomous grief that simmered within him.
Despite everything, it felt like a hollow crown. If only Father were here to see, then it would have been truly perfect.
Kaius grunted, scrunching his eyes to clear the slight blur. He knew Porkchop had noticed, but other than a warm flow of support through their bond, he didn’t make a big deal of it. Kaius appreciated that.
He took a steadying breath and refocused on his status. Right at the top, his class selection called for him, screaming for his attention.
“Me first?” Kaius asked, turning to Porkchop. Class selection was supposed to be… disabling. Not dangerous, but you were left insensate for what could be hours. Porkchop nodded to him, and Kaius steeled himself.
No longer would he be restrained and hampered by the limitations imposed upon him by the system. It was time for him to join the climb up the tiers.
It was time to pick his class.
A flicker of intent was all it took.
Everything went black.
