Storyteller (1)

There were only five minutes left until the official global launch of Tisit Online. The forums were crazy, and so was Lennon as he scrolled through the forums looking at everyone's reactions.

<Tisit Online launch countdown timer!>

- Bro, who else is hella hyped? I can't wait to play

- Yeah man, I even skipped school for this

- What class are you guys picking?

- Mage, why would anyone pick the other classes?

Lennon chuckled at the message, all classes are balanced, but only during the early game. As you progress and level up, the game will offer you class changes. As a person goes through more class changes, there will be classes that are obviously better than others. In the end, it all depends on your skill on whether you can obtain a good class or not.

Of course, Lennon knew all the classes, their disadvantages and advantages, and had already decided on the warrior class. He had used the same class for nearly ten years, and he knew all the evolutionary paths it could take.

'It's finally time'

Lennon's hands were shaking due to excitement as he entered his VR capsule.

<Would you like to connect to Tisit Online?>

"Yes"

<Please choose a username>

"Lennon"

<Are you sure you want to choose the username, 'Lennon'?>

"Yes"

Lennon was immediately transported into a white room, there were five pedestals, each with a shining orb on top of it. They were the five starting classes one could choose from: Mage, Warrior, Archer, Assassin and Priest. Whenever you touched an orb, it would play a small clip of what each starting class is capable of.

However, you couldn't actually choose your race at the start of the game, you could change it as you progress, but most players chose to stay human in Tisixa. This is as changing your race does not provide any benefits, and only makes your appearance change.

"Welcome, respected player"

An angel was currently looking down on him, holy aura was oozing out of her wings, but Lennon noticed something. There was way too much aura leaking out, and the room was actually quite cold. Usually, holy aura would make you feel at ease and comfortable, but Lennon immediately figured it out.

"Verrinel?"

An ugly expression immediately emerged from the angel's face.

"You… HOW DO YOU KNOW MY TRUE NAME, HUMAN?"

The kind-looking angel disappeared, as if it was all an illusion from the start. She was replaced by a mad-looking demon. In Tisit, she was known as the Demon Duke of Disguise, one of the Greater Demons. And in Tisit, she was also murdered by Lennon single-handedly, but there was nothing Lennon could do to her now, the level gap was too big.

"ARGGHH, whatever, pick a class and go human"

Verrinel stared at Lennon with a furious expression, but Lennon was very calm. Afterall, he had just realised he wouldn't be killed, Verrinal was probably restricted in this domain.

But something was off, Verrinel seemed awfully nervous, and was glancing at something behind her. It was then that Lennon noticed that when he called her by her name, a portion of the room had collapsed. Confidently, he walked up to her.

"Can you please move?"

"Whyyy whyy why would I do that? You shouldn't be ordering ME around HUMAN"

Lennon tried to push her, but instead fell right through her.

'So it was just a projection, that's why she can't hurt me'

"NO human, STOP"

Verrinel's attempts to stop Lennon was futile as he confidently walked into the new room that sprang up. It was quite a sight, there were tens of orbs stored on shelves, it was like a library but the books were replaced with orbs. A smirk immediately appeared on Lennon's face.

'I've hit the jackpot, has my luck ever been this good?'

As he viewed the clips of each individual orb, he could tell that these weren't normal classes. In fact, these were hidden classes, and many of which were unique. However, he couldn't help but notice that Verrinel had followed him into the room and was once again looking awfully nervous while standing on top of a loose floorboard.

"Is there anything under there?"

"Noo, noo there's nothing here, just pick one of the unique classes or whatever, hurry up"

Once again, Lennon walked up to Verrinel and completely ignored her projection. Lifting up the loose floorboard, he found another orb inside, but it was much brighter and bigger than the other ones.

'Nice try, Verrinel, but your disguises don't work on orbs'

For some reason, the orb didn't show any clips.

'There's no need to hesitate, it's probably the most broken class in the game'

"I choose this one!"

But something was off once again, Verrinel suddenly started to cackle.

<You have chosen the hidden unique class, Storyteller!>

"Wait, wait what?"

Lennon turned again to look at Verrinel as she slowly disappeared.

"Goodbye, stupid human"

She insulted him as her projection vanished. Lennon's screen turned black as he was transported to the start of the game.

"FUUUU-"

<Welcome to the world of Tisit, we hope you enjoy your stay!>
