Chapter 29: S-Class Job Advancement Ceremony: Master of Stars
"What on earth is this??"
Sterl was momentarily stunned, feeling as though he was almost assimilated by the patterns on the pet egg!
If it hadn't been for... the divine talent he had just awakened, releasing waves within him and snapping him back to reality, he could have been in real trouble!
"Was I almost killed by a pet egg??" Sterl complained.
He didn't know what being assimilated would entail, but assuming the worst, it might mean losing himself, becoming a zombie, beyond even a god's ability to resurrect!
Had he just faced the biggest crisis of his gaming career?? And what's more bizarre, he didn't really feel it because it all happened too fast.
From falling into crisis to immediately being safe again.
However, Sterl quickly lost interest in pondering his safety, as an unexpected event occurred in the instance!
[Warning: A major transformation is happening in the Starfall Wilderness instance!]
[Warning: ...]
The system's prompt echoed!
At the same time, Sterl felt the ground shake, and the energy of the starry sky above churned continuously, turning into brilliant light that poured into the Star Egg in his hand.
This wasn't just the stars sharing their energy. It was as if the entire sky was being drained!
One by one, the stars in the sky dimmed.
Simultaneously, as the stars extinguished, it seemed as if the power sustaining the entire instance world was lost. Sterl felt the ground beneath him gradually loosen, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Suddenly, a prompt from the game system diverted Sterl's attention.
[Automatic Translation System activated.]
Then, Sterl saw countless texts on the Star Egg, as if coming to life, flooding into his mind.
[You have read the secret lore of the Star Clan.]
[You have gained the following information:
Now you can undergo a specific ceremony to change your job to the hidden job [Master of Stars].
Now you can create your own [Main Star] and [Auxiliary Stars] through a specific ceremony.]
"What?"
"What is... this??" Sterl felt his brain was stuffed with a ton of information, making his head spin!
Job advancement ceremony?
Main Star?
Auxiliary Stars?
What are these??
He was so dazed he could hardly stand.
Sterl barely managed to open his panel, and indeed, new content had appeared.
[You have unlocked the job advancement ceremony—Master of Stars]
[Master of Stars]
[Job Quality: S-Class]
[Description: The title released by the Star Clan in ancient times, that is the Master of Stars. This powerful being was naturally capable of commanding and refining stars, thus arousing the envy of countless gods and being jointly executed. The Star Clan was cursed, forever unable to produce beings above A-class.
Before the death of the Master of Stars, a legacy was left in the bloodline of the Star Clan. Those who assist the Star Clan in breaking the A-class potential limit will gain access to the Master of Stars job advancement ceremony.]
[Ceremony Details:
? Absorb sixty Star Fragments.
? Complete a challenge against a BOSS-level enemy alone and survive. (Completed)
? Possess a master-level skill as a vessel for star power.
? Refine the first [Main Star] or [Auxiliary Star].
? Resist the invasion of the consciousness of stars. (Completed)]
[Ceremony Reward: Assume the role of Master of Stars, receiving the S-class Job Heart [Master of Stars]]
"S-class job?" Sterl's breathing slowed.
As a "newbie," the highest quality of Job Heart he had seen among professionals at the base was probably only C-class.
Because the foundation of humanity on Earth in transcending was unstable. While talent could theoretically be accumulated through sheer numbers of players, advancing to those powerful jobs objectively required resources.
For example, sources for advanced job advancement quests, favorability with NPCs who held powerful legacies, access to special map entrances, ownership of instances with high rewards...
These resources were often controlled by powerful player groups. Human beings on Earth really can't grab it
As a result, Sterl had learned in his general education history courses that among humanity on Earth, the top powerhouses generally only had A-class jobs. There were only 7 individuals who had reached S-class jobs.
Six of them played a huge role in the development of humanity on Earth, such as creating the base system, developing game props that combined Earth technology like the virtual imaging device, and earning massive amounts of reputation on the Vashto Continent so that humanity on Earth could attach itself to various NPC forces...
It can be said that without them, humanity on Earth would not have the foundation it has today.
As for the last S-class job changer, he betrayed humanity on Earth, leading to the destruction of hundreds of bases. Over a million people from Earth were forced to quit the game, doomed to live in dark caves in reality for life.
In short, any S-class job holder had a tremendous impact on the entire human race on Earth!
After changing class, as long as one develops smoothly, they are destined to make history!
How could Sterl not be excited at the sight of an S-class job advancement ceremony?
Normally, even with his evolutionary cheat, he couldn't access those high-level job advancement quests. Having a B-class or C-class job advancement would already be a reason to rejoice!
Who would have thought that after running an instance would hit the jackpot?
First, he received a reward for a [Feast of Valor], and now he was getting an S-class job advancement ceremony! Sterl began to suspected that as a time traveller, he really had incredibly strong luck.
When fortune comes, even the heavens and earth align!
Moreover...
"Normally, people need to complete a bunch of quests to unlock the job advancement ceremony."
"I can skip the prerequisite quests directly, how cool is that!" Sterl muttered, taking another look at the requirements for the job advancement ceremony.
Wow! It's so simple!
No, it's not right to say it's simple. In fact, as an S-class job advancement task, the difficulty is daunting!
It's just that Sterl had already completed the two most difficult tasks: facing a boss and resisting the invasion of the stars' power.
Facing the boss naturally doesn't mean you can just get by in a boss fight. If Sterl looked into the details of the ceremony, he would see that it required dealing at least 5% damage to the boss's health.
For those who haven't changed class, this is an almost impossible requirement to meet!
Resisting the invasion of the stars' power, Sterl managed to cheat through with his divine talent, a level of power hardly attainable by ordinary people.
As a result, Sterl's job advancement ceremony was practically in the bag.
All that remained was to collect star fragments, master an advanced skill, and refine either a [Primary Star] or [Secondary Star] to become an S-class professional!
In terms of collecting star fragments, Sterl had already accumulated forty-nine from previous monster hunts. Even without actively farming for more, he could gather enough through normal monster encounters in instances.
Meeting the requirement for an advanced skill was also within reach.
Sterl's proficiency in Flame Storm was at [1901/2000], almost maxed out, and he could soon break through to advanced level by leveraging the power of blood.
Thus, for the aforementioned aspects of the ceremony, Sterl was just a step away.
The only task that required his effort was refining a [Primary Star] or [Secondary Star]. As for what these were exactly, Sterl was unclear and had to continue checking his panel for details.
"Holy shit! Is this job that awesome??" Sterl couldn't help but exclaim as he noticed two new special abilities on his panel.
[Special Ability: Refine Primary Star]
[Effect: Players with this ability can choose to refine the following units as their Primary Star: pets, players, monsters. After refining a Primary Star, the player can gain the following effects:
? Acquire 15% of the Primary Star unit's attributes, stamina, and energy limits.
? Use the skills of the Primary Star unit (excluding special skills that utilize organs such as tails, horns, etc.)
? Gain the talents of the Primary Star unit.]
[Special Ability: Refine Secondary Star]
[Effect: Players with this ability can choose to refine the following units as their Secondary Star: pets, players, monsters. After refining a Secondary Star, the player can choose one of the following effects:
? Acquire 10% of the Secondary Star unit's attributes, stamina, and energy limits.
? Use one skill of the Secondary Star unit.
? Gain a weakened version of the Secondary Star unit's talent.]
