Chapter 411 Magical Rewrite

Lee Seng sat on top of the white porcelain throne as he waited for.something to happen. He glanced around. Nothing was happening.

'Uhhh… Is it happening?' Lee Seng asked the AI. He assumed something painful would happen. It usually did. He started to stand when the AI finally spoke.

[Magical Rewrite has begun. Fighter and Observer will merge.]

The soul orb started to give off a golden glow. Lee Seng could feel the energy washing over him. The room grew bright, blinding him. Dark Matter poured out of him, filling the bathroom. The bathroom door began to shake with everything else following suit.

'Oh god.' Lee Seng squeezed his eyes tight. 'What's happening?!?' The dark energy swirled around him, pushing around him as the lights began to fade. The sound of cracks caught his attention, Lee Seng cautiously opening his eyes to see the cocoon of Dark Matter disappearing around him.

[Congratulations! Magical Rewrite has finished! Jack of all Trades has been replaced with Echo Scout! To learn more about your new class, please indicate by voice or touch now.]

'Echo Scout? What's that?' Lee Seng asked as he blinked a hundred times. The blinding light was still lingering in his eyes and it was hard seeing anything in the bathroom. The Soul Orb flew out of his hands and a soft light projected like a holographic computer screen.

Class: Echo Scout, Lv. 1 – Bend the light and distort yourself as you sneak into battle. Gathering information through your heightened senses, the Echo Scout plays tricks on their foes with spectral images that stick close to you. The Echo Scout's motto: Trickery of the mind starts with the eyes. Distort the enemies' senses before they know what's hitting them.

[Notice: Because you used Magical Rewrite, you may only choose two skills to add to your personal Soul Orb. Increasing your Echo Scout skills and progression will be delayed by one month due to Jack of all Trades being replaced.]

'That sucks.' Lee Seng sighed. 'A one month penalty for switching classes… I didn't even think I got that Joker class… I thought Keng destroyed it before it could be fully implemented. I guess this will have to do. Hopefully I can still support the group with Echo Knight… Let's look at the skills.'

"Hey, everything all right? I thought I heard stuff falling." Ritsuka knocked on the door. "You've been in there for awhile, what're you doing? Browsing your phone for porn or something?" Lee seng sighed and slowly made his way to the door, picking up and placing things as he went. He pushed the Soul Orb back into his chest and unlocked the door. The door opened and Lee Seng blinked a couple of times as he made eye contact with a sweaty Ritsuka.

"I'm fine. Just doing… you know what stuff." Lee Seng raised his eyebrows a couple times at Ritsuka. Ritsuka gave him an odd stare. Lee Seng sighed and shut the light off as Ritsuka stepped away to make room for Lee Seng to enter the hallway.

"What's that?" Ritsuka asked. Lee seng looked past Ritsuka. There was music blasting in the gym and he couldn't really hear anyone else down here.

"Fox spirit stuff." Lee Seng leaned in and whispered. Ritsuka nodded as Lee Seng pulled away and turned to go into his room.

"You aren't going to run anymore?" Ritsuka asked.

"I haven't finished yet. I'll come out when I'm done. Don't worry about me." Lee Seng waved. He entered his room and closed the door, locking it behind him as he slipped into bed. "Alright, where were we?" The orb pulled out of his chest and Lee Seng brought up the Echo Scout class page, again.

"Two new skills… What were they?" Lee Seng whispered.

[Echo Scout Skills]

[Echo Manipulation, Lv. 1: An altered form of Light manipulation. Allows the user to create Echo images of themselves and others. User can only manipulate up to 2* people at a time. The Echo will do a set number of things based on the User's personal input.]

[Passive Skill: Echoed Hits, Lv. 1 – Activatable Passive: The User deals damage, releasing another delayed hit.]

'Huh, they're combat-focused skills. It seems like Echo Manipulation is more of an illusion-based skill. This will be handy in combat. Echoed Hits will throw people off. I can choose when to turn it on and off as well!' Lee Seng sat up on his bed. 'I guess that's it. It sucks I won't be able to gain any progress with Echo Scout for a month. I'll be level one for a while. I guess that means I'll just have to train and get used to it in the meantime.'

"Welp," Lee Seng slid himself off his bed and stood up. "I guess it's time to run."

Saviors Tomb, Daros Realm

"Hmmm, should I try it?" Keng whispered. He held the hovering gray orb in his hand as he sat on the floor of his bedroom. He leaned against his bed as he stared at [Magical Rewrite]. Gorrum entered the room and noticed Keng was staring at his Soul orb, once again.

"What're you doing?" Gorrum asked. "Debating on whether you'll activate the Magical Rewrite?"

"Yeah. I'm not sure if it'll be good or not."

"Well," Gorrum leaned against the wall, folding his arms together. "From what I've been told, Magical Rewrites are rare. They usually come in the form of a consequence for the person."

"You're familiar with them?"

"Yeah. Fox Spirits have an Evolution path they choose from. The very first thing they do is choose a Magical Write Path. You haven't done this before?" Gorrum raised his eyebrow at Keng.

? "No." Keng shook his head. "Maybe that's what that voice Lee Seng heard was…"

"What voice?"

"He said a woman was asking him for the path he'd like to choose. He ended up choosing Joker or something…"

"It seems you've been given a second chance. I'd choose wisely if I were you." Gorrum warned. "You don't want to choose a class that won't fit with your fighting style."

"Fighting style? Like the classes on Earth?"

"Mmm, I guess that would be easiest to understand for you. The humans have, what, foru classes? What were they again?"

"Fighter, Glass, Tank, and Observer. Specialist if you wanna count that." Keng replied.

"These four main classes basically explain what fighting style you'll mainly be using right?" Gorrum asked.

"Mmmhm. Fighters and Tanks usually have powers that are best suited up close and personal while Observers and Glasses are ranged fighters. Although, Lee Seng has come across people who's powers are suited for Ranged but have a use close up and personal…"

"Well, besides those ones, these four classes basically dictate how someone will grow, correct?"

"Yes."

"Well, if your Magical Rewrite is allowing you to pick another class archetype, you can pick one that would fit your style of fighting." Gorrum motioned.

"And what would that be?" Keng whispered. "I've only fought hand-to-hand combat most of the time. The only time I use ranged magic is Fox Fire or Lee seng's gravity powers… But since I don't have access to that, I just use Fox Fire."

"I'd say pick a fighting style that's close combat based. It'll help you in combat."

"But won't hunting be harder for me?"

"You're training your Sight energy sensory, not how to use a bow. A melee fighter must have ways of dealing with ranged foes. That's why I'm making you use that bow, but it's not the point right now. The question you need to answer is what do you want to be at the end of the day? Someone who can fight close up or fight from afar?" Gorrum asked. Keng spun the orb and [Magical Rewrite] came back up.

'Choose any combination of classes… Combinations are doable… What would help me the most?' Keng rolled the orb in his hand as he continued to ponder on it. 'Fighter and Glass? I could have the best of both worlds… My abilities would be stronger up close and far away. I can adjust myself accordingly…'

"Fine. Fighter and Glass combination then." Keng nodded. He tapped on the orb and a new pop up came up.

[Magical Rewrite: Would you like to fuse the Fighter and Glass class together?]

"Yes."

[Magical Rewrite shall begin.]

A flash of bright light enveloped the room. Gorrum quickly turned away as he and Keng were blinded. Dark Matter energy exploded throughout the room and quickly wrapped itself around Keng like a cocoon. The light faded and Gorrum opened his eyes to see a silver light of flames engulfing Keng. Keng was barely visible to him. Cracks appeared across the cocoon and shattered. The Soul Orb pulsated and a set of words appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations! Magical Rewrite has finished! Jack of all Trades has been replaced with Energy Trickster! Check out your new Class in the Class section of the Soul Orb!]
