The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 76 Entering 'The Bridge' Part 1

?Chapter 76: Entering 'The Bridge' part 1

The next day, Kayn arrived at his favorite park really early in the morning.

There are still no people around him at this time of the day. As a matter of fact, he is the first person that arrived other than the single caretaker who opened the gate for him.

At the moment, he is standing in front of the fountain located right in the center of the park.

A military bag could be seen by his side, which contains some survival tools as his Storage Ring is already full of all the food he stored inside plus all the equipment that he had fused yesterday.

"Are you ready?" Natas asked.

Waving his hand, Kayn quickly took out the Entry Crystal from his Storage Ring. He then responded, "Do I have the choice to back out?"

"From the moment you reincarnate back to the past, there's bound to be a lot of uncertainty in the future waiting for us because of the 'Tower' from the second life. If we follow the same path you've taken, I guarantee you that you will fail in achieving your goal,"

"So, I suggest you don't back out,"

"I know,"

Natas is right. Even though the path he took in the second life allowed him to defeat all the Gods and reached the 1,000th floor, that was only because the Gods allowed it to happen.

However, this time, even if the Gods allow it to happen again because of Natas, the 'Tower' would certainly do something to prevent him from doing so. And it is exactly that uncertainty that they have to make preparations for.

"Anyways, are you sure that you would really be able to come along with me?" This was the question that Kayn is very doubtful about. It's because the Entry Crystal only allows access to one individual.

"I've already tested it before. If I try to go anywhere within ten kilometers away from you, I will get teleported back to where you are. So, I believe that the moment you enter 'The Bridge', I would also be teleported to your location,"

"If you say so," He already witnessed it before. And just like what Natas mentioned, the latter cannot go far away from him as they are connected by some kind of mysterious power together. They tried to understand what it was, but they just don't have enough time to continue with the experiment. And there's also no good place to conduct it further.

"Here I go,"

Since he already decided to do it, he no longer showed any slight hesitation when he started infusing mana into the Entry Crystal.

As more and more mana was infused into the Entry Crystal, its body shone brighter and brighter in blue-colored light.

In the next moment, the bright blue light suddenly swallowed Kayn whole inside.

As soon as Kayn disappeared, the confidently standing Natas also disappeared along with him.

…..

The next moment Kayn opened his eyes, he found himself in a place that he was very familiar with. That's because this is the place where he first arrived when he was granted entry to enter the 'Tower'.

There are three small temple-like structures with respectively the label 'Adventurer', 'Merchant', and 'Nobility' written above them to show what they are.

These structures are where one would pick which main class and subclasses they wanted to become.

However, this time, instead of a mirror-like dimension where his feet would show a reflection of what's above, the entire surrounding is instead replaced by greeneries.

"Welcome to 'The Bridge'," A familiar voice muttered behind Kayn.

"I guessed your theory was correct," Kayn smiled as he faced Natas.

"You should start trusting me more,"

"Don't worry, I will from now on," With that accurate judgment despite the fact that there was only a little information they have gathered in their experiment, he'd definitely be trusting Natas a lot more than he did before.

"Anyways, what's up with the Class Selection Temples? Wasn't this place supposed to be in the mirror dimension?"

"To tell you the truth, there are actually two locations where you can pick your main class and subclasses,"

"The main location is the mirror dimension, which is the place where all rookie Heroes are taken to in their first entry to the 'Tower',"

"While the second location could be found in this shabby-looking environment in 'The Bridge',"

"This information didn't spread because everyone who became a Hero here is bound to strict confidentiality by the 'Tower',"

"Why?"

"I'll be ruining the surprise if I tell you about it now. Don't worry, you'll understand why when you get out of 'The Bridge'. Trust me, it will be something beneficial for you and this is also one of the reasons why I want you to enter 'The Bridge',"

"So, you're telling me that the moment you enter 'The Bridge', you are given the access to officially become a Hero?"

"That's right! Everyone in 'The Bridge' are Heroes. This is so that everyone will have equal opportunity to fight for all resources in this place. Not to mention, survive the dangers,"

"If one is just an ordinary person or a mere Superhuman, surviving for fate knows how long in 'The Bridge' is going to be impossible. That is why the 'Tower' specifically gave everyone the power of a Hero,"

"Why do you think even ordinary people are tempted to get inside 'The Bridge' despite the risks? It's because someone leaked such information,"

"No wonder," Kayn mutters as he walks toward the Class Selection Temples.

"Are you still going to choose to become an Adventurer this time as well?" Natas isn't feeling confident with that choice.

"Is there a problem with that?" Kayn notices the underlying meaning behind Natas' words.

"I suggest that you choose Nobility this time,"

Kayn raises his eyebrow, wondering why Nobility is better than Adventurer for him.

"Because of loyalty,"

"Loyalty…" Why didn't he think of that? That's right, he would no doubt feel suspicious of everyone other than Natas in the future. In that case, it would be no different for him to just work alone all the time.

By choosing Nobility, he would be able to see whether a person is loyal to him or not.

"However, I won't have the advantages that Adventures possess,"

Knights would have a bonus when it comes to strength.

Mages in their Mana Capacity.

Marksmen with their Accuracy.

Guardians will have an increase in Endurance.

Assassins have their Agility.

Priests naturally possess stronger Vitality.

Although Nobility could still choose to become whatever the subclasses of the Adventurers are, they won't have those bonuses and advantages that they have. Unless they find an Arcane Class that provides such a benefit.

Sadly, they cannot get the benefit of the Merchant class — the permission to bring items from the 'Tower' back on Earth.

On the contrary, they are the only main class that can buy territories inside the 'Tower'. So, it isn't entirely bad at all.

"With your knowledge about the future, is that even a problem for you?"

"Did I say that it was a problem for me?" Kayn smiles as he unhesitatingly puts his hand on a stone tablet at the center of the Nobility temple.

[Are you sure you want to choose Nobility?]

"Yes!"

*Whoosh!

A strong gust of wind flowed through Kayn's hand and he felt a warm light overflowing his body.

[Congratulations Kayn on becoming a Nobility!]

[You received the title 'Baron'!]

[You can now buy territories inside the 'Tower' using the Land Ownership Skill. The size of the territory though will entirely depend on your Noble Rank!]

[Warning! The Land Ownership Skill is currently locked because you are in 'The Bridge' right now. You can't pick any territories to claim for your own yet! Only when you officially enter the 'Tower' would you be able to access the skill again!]

[To compensate for that, you will be able to temporarily choose one of the subclasses of the Adventurer class!]

"What?!" Kayn felt surprised. He turns his head to look at Natas meaningfully, "You knew about this beforehand didn't you?"

"I don't want to ruin the surprise," Natas smirks.

[Knight]

[Guardian]

[Marksman]

[Mage]

[Assassin]

[Priest]

Without any hesitation, Kayn picked the 'Knight' subclass.

In the second life, he actually chose the 'Assassin' subclass. It was only later on when he got a Subclass Transfer Card, an item that allows the user to pick his subclass again, that he became a swordsman by picking the 'Knight' class.

[Congratulations! You are now a temporary 'Knight'. Until you are able to leave 'The Bridge', you will continue to enjoy the benefit of the 'Knight' subclass!]

[

"This changes a lot of things," Kayn smiles satisfyingly.
