Victor looked at the screen and smiled, Between All the classes that were available to him he chose this, he wanted to choose a class to awaken his bloodline.
But when he saw it, He chose it immediately. As it was the only X ranked class revealed to him.
And because he knew some things that others didn’t. In this world there exist very few X classes, and to get them one needs not just sufficient authority, but also luck and destiny.
It is a ranking given to Classes that have a direct impact on the world itself. Most of them are the last upgrade of a lower leveled Class. But not all.
As far as he knows only 5 were disclosed to the public, but in the royal library there were 10 recorded X Class PLAYERS.
He is sure he got this class because he changed his fate when he returned to the past. Just like how a soldier would usually get the choice for a warrior class.
Fate and destiny are mysterious things, Victor only learned about it when he was trying to get the black book of time, he had to work for a decade where the book was kept, at the royal library.
He was just a small librarian back then, but it was a job that many wished they could acquire, and it was granted to him, by a friend, as a favor repayment.
There he could abuse his position to read many rare books, and some forbidden ones if he had a chance. He learned a lot about how this world worked, the rules, and the bugs that were discovered so far.
But amongst the subjects that alluded the researchers was Fate. it was intangible but it was there. Like how some people would find treasures that suit them perfectly, how a PLAYER would level up at the right time to save the day, or how some PLAYERS will awaken on their own without an artifact. It is like the world had already decided for some things to happen. The Luck status seems to affect fate but only in a limited way, If someone is fated to be hit by a rock, luck would just affect its size.
Fate was not unchangeable. In the rules of this world “free will is above all”, and fate itself is ever changing. But there are usually set lines and trends.
Changing those is hard, very hard.
He who had fate turn on him many times in the past knows this well. some people are fated for greatness while others are not.
This Class is mostly Passive as it does not have any offensive skills in its first stages.
But its existence by itself is the biggest offense. He was not bound by fate anymore, and he would be able to manipulate things to his advantage.
He took a deep breath then looking at the twins he activated his skill
“Eyes of Destiny”.

HUMAN FEMALE: +1
HUMAN FEMALE: +1
Cost : 2 Order Point Consumed.
REVEALING...
Victor's eyes turned white then black, as a yin-yang symbol slowly formed in them. blood began to flow out of eyes and nose. But a confidant smile slowly appeared on his face. He didn’t care, because he saw it.
The world became clear, like how when you look at a painting up close and be able to make out every brush stock the painter did, every fiber in canvas was there in front of him.
He looked at himself, but he was like a gray fog, many lines coming in and out of his body but it felt intangible, this was the cost of having this Class, He escaped the grasp of fate and his destiny became undefined so he can’t see himself.
He knew he didn’t have much time, this was just a glimpse and his body was too weak to handle it, so he quickly looked at his prime target, the twins.
Their body’s shone with golden light and then he saw a small window above each of them.
Fate : A Rank.
Talent : A Rank.
Now, he is sure, He must get them. A rank is the topmost rank any normal human can get. Of course, there exist heir ranks, but those are reserved for special and heroic beings.
Looking at them, he saw many colorful lines around them being revealed, they surrounded them like cocoons, These make the canvas of their destiny. He could make out only five special lines. Those are the ones affecting the twins for now. Looking any further that was not possible for him, as the lines of fate are infinite and ever changing, like the choices they make every day.
The brighter is good fates, while the dark ones are harmful. He felt that.
The first was a shiny blue line heading down towards the first floor, it was probably Hilda’s, as she is a mother figure for them,
the second was a pink one directed out of the window, towards the city, Victor knew that this must be their fated loved one, Tom.
The third is his, It had a shallow gray color, still fragile and undefined.
The fourth is a black evil thin line going into the mountains, it seems to intertwine with his and Tom’s lines, and Victor had a good idea whose it was.
As for the last, it was bright red, a blood connection. It was the thickest and the most robust of them all and it was towards each other. This one is nearly impossible to break, he knew that.
“My fate with them is too shallow. I can't change their destiny by using force, or it would probably break,” thought victor. But he had a plan.
He has to make his destiny thread bigger while destroying Tom's.
“There will be a chance tomorrow night,” he thought, looking at the black ominous line.
He felt his body can’t take this any longer so he quickly stopped his skill.
Victor was very drained, he also felt a piercing pain in his eyes. “This skill is too energy consuming,” he thought.
So he slowly left the bed without alerting the fast asleep girls and went to the bathroom where he took a quick shower and cleaned all the blood before he returned to the bedroom.
He climbed into the bed and began to inspect his status, there was no change but looking at his order points, he saw there were 19 left. He has to find a way to get more he thought.
ORDER points are a mystery to many but he knew that they are mainly used by skills that affect the world, In the past, he only heard that those with the X level classes would accept them as part of their payment for their services.
Now he knows how precious those are.
But that is a subject for another day, he was now too tired, so he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep after hugging the two girls on his sides.
