Volume 1 Feathering Chapter 1 High Elf Mage
"Welcome to the world of heroes. Your initial appearance and gender have been determined. Next, please choose your faction and race."
“The royal power system headed by the human kingdoms such as the Cathay Dynasty, the Sigma Empire, the Knight Kingdom of Bretonnia, the Kingdom of Nibon, the Kingdom of Inda, and the high elves;
The natural system, led by wood elves, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, etc.;
The Guardian system, led by the Magic Toads, Lizardmen, Amazons, etc.;
The dark system, led by dark elves, drow elves, gray dwarves, and troggs;
The barbaric system, led by green-skinned orcs, hobgoblins , ogres, snakemen, etc.;
The undead system, led by skeletons, zombies, ghosts, vampires, etc.;
The elemental system headed by the four elemental creatures of earth, fire, water, and wind;
The ocean system, led by murlocs, nagas, mermaids, etc .;
The mechanical system, led by constructs, puppets, and golems;
Chaos, led by Chaos Warriors, Beastmen, Skaven, Norscan Barbarians, Kurgans, Chaos Dwarves, etc.
A destructive system headed by demons and devils.
In addition, there are more hidden races that cannot be selected at the beginning, including but not limited to dragons, angels, phoenixes, etc. As the game progresses, they will appear one after another. As a hero chosen by God, you also have the possibility to change your race. At the same time, you can also enjoy the fun of exploring the unknown during this period. "
"I need to remind you that the strength, power, potential, and diplomacy of different races may vary greatly, which will bring you a completely different experience. Please choose carefully."
As the prompt sounded, phantoms of various colors began to flash in front of him. Those were the approximate images that would appear after he selected each race, as well as some displays that seemed to be primary types of soldiers.
"Can we even choose the demon at the beginning? In other games, this is usually a late-stage boss that all players need to fight together, right?"
This time Levi was really hesitant, but he finally gave up choosing the demon. Not only because of the last prompt from the system just now, which made him suspect that the demon faction might have many restrictions at the beginning, such as PK with other demons, but more importantly, their appearance was not good-looking at all, and was even a little distorted.
Take the devil for example, he just clearly saw a guy with four rows of eight prickles!
When playing games, besides entertainment, he also wants to look at more beautiful girls, but he still respectfully declines such girls.
Well, he was even a little hesitant about whether the other person was a young lady, because the four breasts on the left half of the guy's body were quite round, but the four breasts on the right half were very flat...
After hesitating between the Royal Power System and the Natural System several times, he was still a little hesitant. Mainly because when talking about other factions, the system directly mentioned the race, but when talking about the Royal Power System, it mentioned the name of the country, which obviously had some special meaning that he was not clear about yet.
Is it because they have extremely powerful forces or a special status?
But he finally made a decision and chose the high elves in the royal system. Of course, it was not only because they looked very gorgeous, with handsome men and beautiful women, but also because it was the only non-human country ranked in the royal system!
Following his choice, a young man with black hair and black eyes suddenly appeared in the mirror. He was slender, elegant, and strong, exactly as he looked in real life, except that his ears had changed a little bit and turned into long pointed ears.
"Please select your initial occupation."
"Fighter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Ranger, Monk, Druid, Warlock, Bard, Paladin, Shaman."
“Depending on the faction and race, even the same profession may have different advantages, disadvantages or potential limits. You may also be able to change your profession or advance to a more specialized or powerful profession during the game. At the same time, there are more professions waiting to be discovered in the game.”
He could fully understand this. If you let the huge Tauren choose a thief, or let the extremely stiff zombie choose a monk, although it might lead to some new tricks, but overall, it would definitely be very incompatible with their professions, and it would be impossible for them to exert their full combat effectiveness.
However, the degree of freedom of this game is really high. With so many races, the various professions that can be matched will be very, very complicated. And in this way, I am afraid that every time you fight with other players in the future, you will have to be careful, because you don’t know what kind of surprises your opponent can give you.
After taking a quick look, he finally chose his favorite career.
"Choose a mage."
No matter in which game, the mage is a noble profession, commonly known as "magician"!
"Your selection is complete. Based on the race and occupation you selected, your initial attributes have been generated. Please check and fill in your name and surname."
Name: (Unnamed)
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Neutral (Based on your race, the initial default is Lawful Neutral with a bias towards goodness. Your alignment may change depending on your subsequent performance)
Faction: Royal Throne
Race: High Elf
Occupation: God's Chosen Hero (Apprentice Mage)
Level: Battle Level 0 (0/100) / Campaign Level 0 (0/1000)
Combat attributes: Strength 4, Agility 5, Constitution 4, Intelligence 7, Perception 4, Charisma 5.
Life = Constitution x 10 x 0.4 (occupation adjustment) = 16
Mana = Intelligence x 10 x 1.0 (professional adjustment) = 70
Campaign attributes: Attack 0, Defense 0, Leadership 0, Knowledge 0
(Attack bonus, defense bonus, maximum leadership and morale bonus, magic power and mana recovery speed bonus for non-hero units under your command)
Initial Leadership: 10
Racial Talents:
1: Elf Magic, passive skill. Elves are born with extraordinary control over magic. Magic penetration +1, and your magic penetration +1 for every 2 levels you increase.
2: Weapon proficiency, a passive skill. Elves value swordsmanship and archery. You can choose one of the longsword, rapier, bow and arrow, and dagger as your initial weapon of proficiency (after selection, you will receive the corresponding initial equipment as a reward).
Career Talents:
1: Magic Pet Contract. When you reach level 1, you can summon or find a small animal with magical talents to be your partner. Depending on your choice, this can enhance your abilities in certain aspects.
2: Magical talent. When your intelligence meets the requirements, you will be able to obtain a new magic (a random magic list that roughly corresponds to your intelligence and level) for each level increase. You can also learn more new magic by purchasing magic books, magic scrolls, exploring ruins, etc.
After reading the attribute panel, he felt that it contained too much information, which required him to spend some time to slowly understand and accept it. However, what speechless was that although he knew that mages were all fragile, this one was a little too fragile, wasn't it?
According to the system, for the same 1 point of attribute, a mage can gain 4 points of health from constitution and 10 points of mana from intelligence. If it is a warrior, will it be the opposite?
In the early days when there was no magic, a warrior could easily beat several mages. He could easily imagine that a war of words would break out on the forum later.
However, according to his past experience, since the magician is so weak in the early stage, he will definitely be very strong in the middle and late stages. Moreover, the elves he chose are born with magic penetration, which means that elves are a race that is good at using magic. Maybe after their levels grow up, they will be stronger than mages of ordinary races?
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but he did not waste time thinking about them, because in all multiplayer virtual games, the initial time is very precious, and he should not delay here for too long.
After casually changing his name to his real name in real life, Levi, he added Goethe as his last name, and then he chose longbow mastery. In previous games, he had used bows and arrows as weapons more than once, so he was a little confident in this regard.
Following his choice, a longbow and two quivers suddenly appeared on his body in the mirror.
This is followed by a series of item information.
Hardwood Longbow (White - Normal): Attack 0-3, no usage requirements;
Hardwood Arrow 20/20X2 (Gray-Rough): Attack 0-1, no usage requirements;
Simple robe (gray - rough): Defense 0-1, no usage requirements.
You can tell from their properties that they are just used to make up the numbers, but something is better than nothing.
"Please select your initial reward:
1. Random amount of money;
2. Random primary skills;
3. Random primary equipment. "
Note: The above three options are all highly random, but the maximum value is the same, that is, none of them will exceed 20 gold coins.
He couldn't help but frown for a moment. The money might be enough to hire a few more initial subordinates, but he didn't know the price of hiring soldiers. If it cost 100 gold coins to hire a subordinate, then these 20 gold coins would be completely useless.
The equipment probably enhances his initial combat power, but as a player, his initial combat power would probably be very weak, especially since he, a mage, only has 16 health points. Even if it is enhanced, he dare not rush up to fight the enemy.
But if he chooses skills, the risk is also great. After all, there are too many types of skills. He is a mage. If he is given skills such as chopping wood and mining, it will basically be wasted.
But after thinking for a few seconds, he finally decided to choose the skill. He had always had good luck in previous games, so this time it shouldn't be too bad. Moreover, there is an old saying: "Fortune is sought in danger!"
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the magic - Summoning Element (Small)!"
Summon Elemental (Small): Tier 1
Active skill, consumes 15 magic points, summons a small element (earth, fire, water, wind or other with lower probability), it will attack the enemy according to your command until the summoner/element itself is destroyed or the duration ends.
The duration of the element, its various attributes, and the maximum number of elements maintained will all depend on many aspects such as your intelligence, charm, combat level, and related magic expertise effects.
Based on your current status, the maximum number that can be maintained at the same time is 1. At the same time, you cannot specify the attributes of the element and can only use random summons.
At the same time, some knowledge about this magic was also instilled into his brain. This magic cannot be used directly by just shouting a slogan, it also includes gestures and spells.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Acquire the skills of this profession in advance?
This wasn't a particularly big surprise, but it wasn't bad either. Even if the summoned elements couldn't fight, at least they could be used as close meat shields. No matter how weak they were, their health wouldn't be less than your own, right?
"Finally, please adjust your appearance."
“No change.”
His original appearance was already very outstanding, and with the bonus of being an elf, he has now become a rare handsome guy. If it were the real world, he might be a little shy because of this, but this is a game, so of course he has to look as good as possible!
"The character has been created. Dear Lord Levi Goethe, candidates who are willing to join your initial guard are waiting for you. Would you like to enter the game?"
"yes!"
"Finally, I would like to remind you that although under the protection of the gods, the chosen heroes can be resurrected again after their bodies are destroyed, if you experience multiple deaths, your soul will be damaged. Your talents, potential, and growth limits may all suffer damage that is difficult to repair. Please cherish your life. Your life is as precious as the indigenous people."
He was confused for a moment: "What do you mean? Are you talking about the death penalty? Can you be more specific?"
But he didn't get any answer. With a dazzling white light, he suddenly lost all consciousness.
