The Over-Break System

Chapter 330 Obtaining and Leveling Sub-Classes Part 3

A flood of notifications spammed Selene’s vision as she felt herself becoming more powerful by the second. Finally, the spam finished, and she saw the notification about Capping her Primary Class.

-You have distributed the total amount of XP your Primary Class can handle.-

– Your Tier-2 Valk-Vanguard has reached the level cap of 35.-

-Current Primary Class Distribution upon leveling up, 7 STR, 7 DEX, 7 VIT.-

-You have learned the Tier-2.5 Valk-Vanguard Skill [Vængir o Sleipner] (Wings of the Pegasus)-

-You have learned the Tier-3 Valk-Vanguard Skill [Lopt Vargr] (Sky Destroyer)-

Selene broke into a wide smile as she jumped to her feet and stretched out her body. Her sudden and rapid increase may not have had any direct physical bearing on her body, but mentally, a new batch of data and combat knowledge flooded her mind, especially pertaining to her new Class skill [Vængir o Sleipner].

“Jeeze, was the level up that good? You look like you want to go spar or, I don’t know, go shopping with Gabby.” Rolling his eyes and teasing his girlfriend, Cynrik hurriedly pulled her back down to the ground beside him so she could explain her gains.

“Well, aside from the 35 Skill points and 70 free allocation stat points, I got two new skills; the first is the Tier-2.5 [Vængir o Sleipner], and the second is a Tier-3 skill…that only has a bunch of question marks after its name, [Lopt Vargr].”

“Wings of the Pegasus and Sky Destroyer,” Cynrik mumbled in thought before waving for Selene to continue.

“So [Vængir o Sleipner] gives me the ability to fly, and although it has basically no cooldown, only 30 seconds, it is a heavy STAMINA and MP drain. Oh, it also gives me a 25% boost to all my stats in battle.”

“As for the second skill, I know nothing about it other than it has a requirement that I have my wings active. The rest of the information is redacted.”

“Lopt Vargr means Sky Destroyer in Norse. Using its name as a basis and the fact that it is Tier-3 and requires you have your [Vængir o Sleipner] or Wings of the Pegasus active, we can determine that it is some kind of airborne Ultimate Skill, like in a game.” Cynrik explained after a few moments of silent thought._.

“Realistically, if the description is blank, you simply can’t use it until you reach a certain unknown strength. It may be because it is Tier-3, or maybe the Stats that its damage is based on aren’t high enough, but that is something for the future.”

“I expect you to see the skill unlock by the time we start raising our Primary Level and increasing our base stats.” Uncrossing his arms and leaning against his bed, Cynrik glanced at Selene, who had her bottom lip extended in a pout.

“What now?” He asked with dead eyes.

“My luck is dogshit, and I blame you. Since I started spending so much time around you, my previously pristine luck has been tarnished; I CAUGHT YOUR NOTORIOUS TRASH HAND!” Lunching forward, Selene relentlessly pounded Cynrik’s chest, albeit not hard enough to hurt him, but enough to be annoying and prove her point.

“Ok, I get it; I’m a terrible person who steals his woman’s luck; stop with the hitting.” Grumbling as he caught both of Selene’s wrists with ease, Cynrik smugly stared at her until she gave up and collapsed against the bed beside him.

“Anyway, get to it with your Sub-Class; we don’t have all day.” Seeing that Selene had relented with her assault, Cynrik relaxed beside her and sighed.

“Eh? What about you, aren’t you going to get your Tamer Class so that you can start hatching your birbs?” Confused by Cynrik’s lack of action, Selene questioned.

“Would if I could; unfortunately, I need to wait for the materials I ordered to come in, which should be within the next 2-3 hours before I can carve my [Mark of the Tamer].” Cynrik didn’t bother explaining further and realizing he wasn’t going to continue, Selene dropped it and set about working on her LeatherCrafting.

Meanwhile, as the two Dark Affinity users were in a world of their own, Gabby, Benny, and Brance were amid a heated conversation about which they should level up first, their Sub-Class or their Primary.

“It makes no sense, Brancie; if I want to benefit the party in the best way, shouldn’t I power level my Alchemist class?” Gabby asked while throwing her hands in the air.

“Any other time, I would say yes, but right now, I am sure Big Brother bought a shit ton of potions, meaning it isn’t a priority to make more at the moment.”

“Brance is right, Gabby; knowing how overly prepared and paranoid Big Bro is, it wouldn’t be that big of a stretch to assume he already bolstered our stock of Mana, Health, and Stamina potions. Your situation is a bit different from mine, where it is vital that I instantly raise my Blacksmithing once I obtain it.”

“UGH, then what are you going to do, Brancie? Which are you leveling up?” Drooping her head in defeat, Gabby waved her dainty hand in Brance’s direction without looking at him.

“I’ve been on the fence for some time on that topic. Although it would be beneficial to increase my Paladin Class, at the same time, once I get my Gemsmith Sub-Class, I could start working on some of the resources I bought from the Obelisk marketplace.”

“In that way, I would be able to start crafting some of the accessories we need when we start diving into Egresses,” Brance stated as he patted Gabby’s leg to calm her down.

“Plus, the faster you level up your Huntress class, the quicker we can go and pick you out a new beast companion.” Seeing that his skinship didn’t do much to lighten her mood, Brance threw the last bit in, and as expected, Gabby instantly brightened up.

“OH, OH, I FORGOT!” Like an overexcited child, Gabby jumped off the couch and started collecting XP crystals and using them before anyone could stop her.

Her actions caused Benny and Brance to chuckle before they both retrieved the necessary prerequisite skill books for their Sub-Classes.

Ignoring the other two in the room, Brance placed the three skill books on his lap and examined them one last time.

The first was a light khaki-colored book with white trim titled [Basic Gemcrafting]; this was a passive skill book that would infuse the knowledge of how to turn a rough gem into a cut one that could be placed into a piece of equipment.

The second Book, which was half the size of the other two and orange, was titled [Advanced Mineral and Gem Knowledge].

Similar to the two books his brother had used, which taught him about many different kinds of Beasts and Creatures, this passive skill book taught him about thousands of gems and rock formations, their uses, and the best way to cut them for optimal performance.

The third Book was the most important and also the most expensive he had purchased of the batch from the Obelisk Marketplace, a stunningly bright silver Rare [Accessory Craftsmanship] passive skill.

When Brance searched online after settling on obtaining Gemsmith as his Sub-Class, he realized that it was a heavily sought-after profession. Thus all the prerequisite skill booklets were astronomically expensive.

After some heavy research and using a few filters, he had come to choose these three, and when they showed up in the Obelisk marketplace, it was a no-brainer to purchase them at a significantly lower price.

They were so costly because Gemsmiths did not only work with stonecutting or identifying rare gems but also combined jewels with specific materials to make rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.

An Experienced Gemsmith could not only cut the gems or jewels to perfection, but they were also able to lay them into the items they personally crafted and enchant them for further benefits or effects.

A prime example of this was Spatial artifacts, such as the rings or necklaces that were heavily popular. These were the primary income source for most Gemsmiths; the only downside was that an Artificer was required to finish the process.

Still, the gem, setting, and creation of the item were completed by a Gemsmith before the unfinished product was sent to an Artificer to finish the installation of the pocket dimension used to store things.

Taking a deep breath, Brance picked up each of the books and placed them against his chest, triggering the absorption of the books into his system.

-An Uncommon Tier-1 Passive Skill book, [Basic Gemcrafting,] has been located. Would you like to use this Book? (Y/N)-

-An Uncommon Tier-1.5 Passive Skill book, [Advanced Mineral and Gem Knowledge,] has been located. Would you like to use this Book? (Y/N)-

-A Rare Tier-2 Passive Skill book, [Advanced Accessory Craftsmanship,] has been located. Would you like to use this Book? (Y/N)-

Once the notifications appeared from Tobs, Brance wasted no time pressing yes on each one, and when he did, his eyes unfocused as a flood of information surged into his brain.

Sitting not far from Brance, Gabby noticed her boyfriend’s expression blank out and his body tense, so she silently wished him luck and continued absorbing multiple XP crystals simultaneously before stopping to check her notifications.

-You have absorbed an Essence (XP) crystal and received 10,000 XP.-

-Current Essence stored in Essence Pool(XP): 11,551,258.-

-You have absorbed an Essence (XP) crystal and received 10,000 XP.-

-You have absorbed an Essence (XP) crystal and received 20,000 XP.-

-You have absorbed an Essence (XP) crystal…-

-You have absorbed an Essence (XP) crystal…-

A short time later, Gabby noticed that she had finally broken through the 30 million XP mark, and she swapped from absorbing crystals to distributing the vast amounts of XP into her Primary Class.

-You have chosen to distribute 252,616 XP to your Primary Class.-

-Your Tier-2 Huntress Class has leveled up-

-Your Distribution has increased by +0.2 DEX, 0.2 AGI.-

-You have received two Stat points.-

-You have received two Skill points.-

Although the process was tedious and time-consuming because every time she wanted to level up, she had to click through at least four notification windows, she finally assigned the last chunk of XP into her Huntress Class and smiled proudly.

-You have chosen to distribute 4,673,398 XP to your Primary Class.-

-Your Tier-2 Huntress Class has leveled up-

-Your Distribution has increased by +0.2 DEX, 0.2 AGI.-

-You have received two Stat points.-

-You have received two Skill points.-

-You have distributed the total amount of XP your Primary Class can handle.-

– Your Tier-2 Huntress has reached the level cap of 35.-

-Current Primary Class Distribution upon leveling up, 7 DEX, 7 AGI.-

However, Gabby frowned when she realized something was off. In the past, when she had maxed out her Primary Class, she received several new skills, but not this time.

The only time she had received any new Huntress skills was when she first acquired the Class, but now, she was left with nothing new except 70 Stat points, 35 Skill points, and an additional 7 DEX and AGI every time her main level raised.
