Chapter 1: A New Beginning

I sat bored in a dark corner of the "Grizzly Tavern", my bipod on the table mechanically rocking the chair under my ass back and forth, making a monotonous "creaking" sound. The news from the Southern Human Continent was so depressing, and what made me even more angry was that the stupid big Hansen sitting across the table couldn't think of a word or two to comfort me, how can such a low IQ be the leader of the second largest mercenary group in the Divine Realm continent?

Our common enemy, Schilling, has reached unprecedented levels of prestige since my failed assassination three days ago: the first to own the mount "Nightmare", the first to reach level 25 to complete the Class Fusion Advancement, the first to become a Ranger, the first to rank first on the leaderboard for four consecutive weeks...... First, first, first, so many firsts, the aura that shrouded his head was so dazzling that I began to wonder if the Divinity game was designed specifically for him.

"Are you really speechless?" I tapped the wooden table with the heel of my shoe and asked Hansen again. Hansen sighed in a dead sigh, then lowered his head, still not saying a word.

I picked up the stack of papers on the table and looked through it again, it was a detailed document about Schilling: Schilling, Level 26 Ranger. As the first fusion advanced class to appear, we don't know much about the Ranger class. The Ranger class is a fusion of the first advanced class of warriors, the swordsman and the advanced class of the light mage, the holy mage. After the class is merged, the system will reallocate your various data according to the attribute points you have previously assigned, and then refer to the characteristics of the Ranger class, and the effect of free attribute point allocation in the future will also be slightly different according to your different classes. So far, we already know that after advancing to a ranger, each level of health will be +3, physical strength will be +1, magic will be +1.5, in terms of free attribute points, adding a little physique will not only be HP +10, physical strength can also be +5, and if you add a little intelligence, you can +5 points of mana upper limit, which is almost twice as much. Now that the attribute bonus on the comprehensive equipment, Schilling's HP has reached a considerable 1380, and the mana value is also 1120, which can be described as a metamorphosis.

The skills mastered by Schilling have also been systematically adjusted according to the characteristics of the Ranger class, and the skills known so far are as follows:

1. Shield Heavy Attack. The Ranger's sword symbolizes the power of justice, while his shield symbolizes his loyalty. Both are tools he uses to give just rulings. Justice gives him the fortitude of his soul to defend against the attacks of evil, and faith can also be used as a weapon against those who are enemies of justice. To this end, the rangers invented some combat techniques, and their shields were not only used for defense, but also as offensive weapons.

Skill Effect: Hit hard with your shield, damaging and knocking back enemies and inflicting a stun for varying durations depending on your skill proficiency level. Heavy attacks are guaranteed to hit monsters within the area of effect, regardless of the attack ratio. Heavy attacks cannot steal life or mana.

2. Holy Light Bullet. Ranger can learn to summon light bullets from their pure and righteous energy. These bullets of light contain life, the scourge of the undead line, and the aid of those who have faith. During the Battle of Tayhorun Bridge, the villagers, surrounded by the enemy, were in despair. When the militia was already in ruins, a small group of rangers appeared on the battlefield. They march across corpse-strewn battlefields, unleashing pure light magic at enemies who control zombies in battle. With the joint efforts of the surviving villagers, those demons were expelled.

Skill Effect: Damages the undead and heals allies' energy orbs. Ignores the magic resistance of undead creatures and increases healing abilities against non-monster characters.

3. Fanaticism. The noble ranger has the consciousness to dedicate his life to justice and can accomplish tasks that are almost impossible. When surrounded by enemies, a Ranger who is proficient in this skill can defeat enemies many times his own number with his fervent loyalty.

Skill Effect: Quickly attack several nearby enemies. Frenzy increases your attack rate and allows you to attack multiple nearby enemies at once. As you improve your skill proficiency, you can increase the number of times you swing your weapon, and at higher levels it allows you to calmly take on several enemies at once. Frenzy also allows you to attack a monster at a very fast rate and increases your attack rate at the same time.

Fourth, the Holy Collision. Fear is a manifestation of a lack of faith, and a ranger without faith is not as good as an ordinary person. Faith can lead a Ranger to victory. Loyal warriors never run away from battle, on the contrary, their glory will make them rush into battle with their shields held high and launch the first wave of attacks on their enemies.

Skill Effect: Quickly rush towards the enemy, knocking them to the ground, dealing considerable damage and stunning for a certain period of time. The starting distance needs to be more than 2 meters.

5. Holy Light Technique. The Ranger uses a gentle yet healing glow to warm himself and all those he deems loyal. His prayers to save these people brought him out of danger so that he could heal even the deepest wounds in time.

Skill Effect: Restores a certain amount of HP to the target. The amount of recovery increases by skill level, and the amount of mana consumed also increases. Cast time: 2.5 seconds.

6. Holy Healing. The Ranger's belief is salvation, burning all the mana to make it shine brightly.

Skill Effect: Heals an allied target, restoring health equal to the Ranger's maximum health. Using this spell will cost the Ranger all of his mana. Instantaneous spells.

Seven. Aura of Defiance. By placing himself and his nearby companions under the cover of the Light, the Ranger is always ready to face the injustices of battle. His resolute and ardent conviction made him stand in front of the enemy without being harmed.

Skill Effect: Increases the defense ability of all party members. Aura magic, which continuously consumes mana, and can only use one type of aura at a time.

8. Holy ice. The Ranger who uses this aura causes the temperature of the surrounding air to drop dramatically, freezing the flesh and blood of enemies. The movements of affected enemies will be severely hindered and they will be easily beaten back to the hell they belong to.

Skill Effect: Slows down nearby enemies. Aura magic, which continuously consumes mana, and can only use one type of aura at a time.

9. Aura of strength. Drawn to the frenzy of combat, Ranger gives his teammates the power of fairness and justice. This flash of force leaves its mark, and the attack shreds the armor and injures the flesh.

Skill Effect: Increases the strength of nearby allies and yourself, thereby increasing your damage. Aura magic, which continuously consumes mana, and can only use one type of aura at a time.

10. Blessing aim. The gods of light are always on the watch. When needed most, He helps his faithful believers through subtle methods. When this aura works, these gods will direct the Ranger and his companions so that hits that would normally be avoided can also hit the target.

Skill Effect: Increases attack accuracy. Aura magic, which continuously consumes mana, and can only use one type of aura at a time.

Concluding remarks: Fierce to death! The Ranger, who comes from a special army, a soldier who is always ready to fight with the shield of faith, who fights for what he believes is right, and whose steadfastness gives him strength and blesses his comrades, while cruelly punishing those who are sinners. As a result, some call him an overly nervous fanatic, but others are known to be full of strength and radiating kindness. To put it simply, the advantage of the Ranger is that it can be attacked, retreated and defended, and it is an indispensable captain-type role in the team, and it can even be said that the advantage of the Ranger is that there are no shortcomings.

I scratched my scalp in annoyance and asked Hansen: "Do you say that there is a bug in the system, as soon as a profession like this that can resist, fight, and add blood to itself comes out, will anyone play other professions?" You said that Schilling will be invincible alone in the future. ”

Hansen shook his head silently, incomprehensible. "Ahh I screamed innocently. Suddenly, countless eyes full of inexplicable meaning were cast. I don't deny that I'm too beautiful, and I still have two big characters like bright red and blood on my head, "turtledove", and there is no way to attract attention. Ever since Schilling tied my peerless appearance to my ID and posted it on the Internet, the name "Turtledove" has become the most well-known ID in the whole continent except for "Schilling". Countless versions of the saga about the entanglement between me and Schilling have been spread to all corners of the continent of Divinity by bored players. Some people say that I failed to pursue him, and because of love and hatred, I became an extremist terrorist and found trouble with him all day long. Some people objected, believing that Schilling coveted my beauty and wanted to conquer me by violent means. I said that it is the 21st century, how can there still be so many people with such low consciousness, they can go to sweep the road and volunteer all day long, why spend their youth here.

A greased hotel waitress thought I was complaining about the service in the tavern, and immediately brought up a few beers. There was a clear smell of cheap perfume coming from her, which was more disgusting to me than all the other smells in the tavern combined. Where do I still have the appetite and mood to drink? I ignored the new beers and was left alone thinking about the way forward and the development plan. Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, only with the level can you have the strength to speak. For so long, I've forgotten an unbreakable truth in online games, where level and equipment are king. Compared to the level, the problem of equipment is not too big, with the support of Gaoli's Qian Zhuang and Hansen's legion, it is still relatively easy to get good equipment. But what about grades? If I rely on the usual methods to level up, then I will never be able to catch up with Schilling, and I will always have to eat dust behind his ass. This one is absolutely out of order. So, I was smart enough to decide to find another way.
