Hell Difficulty Tutorial Chapter 60: Community

Okay, later, I will think about it later.

First, let's pick the name for our group and for myself.

Welcome to the Community! Your group is now registered as "Group 4," and your alias will be "Noname." Your daily time limit is 10 minutes; after that, your access to the Community will be cut off.

Then a window appears, looking similar to a forum style.

Easy difficulty:

Normal difficulty:

Hard difficulty:

Hell difficulty:

Community tournament

So yup, Hell is the highest difficulty as expected. What surprises me is that there is a forum with all difficulties in the same place.

What do the numbers mean? The number of survivors out of the total amount that got into the tutorial?

Also, what the hell is with those numbers? Why are there so many people?

And why does Hell difficulty have so much lower numbers in comparison to others?

"..."

Ok, never mind the last part.

And also, what the fuck is the community tournament?

So many questions.

I touch on Hell difficulty, and a thread opens.

AnotherOneHere -

Lootenant - What the hell is this?

Bard -

Hadwin -

What the hell, Hadwin? Did you use your name as your alias?

The messages move as more and more people type in, and at this point, it's easy to guess that the first is the alias, then there is difficulty and group name.

As for now, no one from other difficulties joins this thread, and when I try to switch, I am unable to, and the system says it's unavailable at the moment.

Oh! I quickly join in.

Oi, be more careful, it sounds kinda...

A few more people join, and everyone is happy to complain and vent a bit.

Obviously, the system wouldn't let it go.

Then I get forcefully disconnected from the forum.

I lift my hand and stick out my middle finger, showing it to the floating holographic window in front of me.

Screw you and your hidden mechanics.

Let's check the skill upgrade.

Please select your class first; only after that can you upgrade your skills.

What the heck? This is just straight-up bullying.

Is it a progression structure? Is it possible to abuse it? Maybe there's a possibility of not picking a class and just upgrading your skills a few times, and then getting a way too strong starting class? That's why the system won't let me pick a skill upgrade?

But okay, let's check the classes again.

My favorites are:

Force Adept:

Mana Channeler:

Focus Ascendant:

As for the other ones.

is something I will have to talk about with Biscuit. This one is on his for sure. Goddamnit Biscuit. I swear if this one replaced some awesome class, you will boop your snout until I deplete my stamina.

I like it, but it seems to rely a bit more on physical combat, and my goal is to improve my mana.

is something similar to Ether Warrior, but it's not for me.

is interesting. Probably got it because of the absorbed kinetic energy I channeled into the thin cone and used it to attack the monsters? Can you even call that archery?

: nope, I need more damage.

also nope, doesn't seem to be that much into mana manipulation, and I don't want to scout and avoid fights; I want to win them quickly.

is a total nope. I will rely on myself and not on a piece of equipment. Did I get it offered because I kept using oscillation on my weapons to strengthen them?

So it's back to the top three.

sounds super good as it even talks about mana a lot, and the various forces part sounds good.

I like it a lot. Centers on the circulation of mana? Innate talents? Refine command over magic? Definitely a top pick.

- augmenting magical prowess sounds good, and maintaining focus during combat also - but I have a skill for that. And what does rapidly adapting to changing situations even mean?

In the end, it's not such a hard decision, and I pick Mana Channeler.

Congratulations! You have picked your first class - Mana Channeler. In the future, you will be able to upgrade your class or change it for a new one fitting your actions up until that point within the tutorial.

Another window pops up:

Congratulations! You have acquired your Primary Class - Mana Channeler.

Mana Channeler:

Active Skill: Mana Surge -

Passive Skill: Mana Flow (Rare) -

Bonuses:

+10 to Mana

+2 to Constitution

Yes!

YES!

More mana!

Huhu.

Huhu…

I might have a problem.

Whatever! If I were a telepathic corgi, I totally wouldn't be screaming instead of .

I can stop anytime I want.

Anyway, why the hell is there a thingy in the name of my shiny new skill? Yeah, system? Why don't you grade everything at once?

But it's okay; I am happy. Two new skills? One of them passive? Boosting magical abilities? Improving overall magical control?

Heck yeah!

Okay, breathe in.

Breathe out.

Now repeat that.

Good.

And do not test them now; you need your mana to keep your body together until you heal at least somewhat. Also, there is a bunch of assholes around you waiting for a chance to take a bite of you.

Overall, I like my new class, and I am excited to test it.

Now, let's check skill upgrades.

A new window pops up in front of me.

Congratulations! You can now upgrade your level 10 skill by using the . Currently, there are two skills available for upgrade. Choose wisely!

Focus:

Deep Focus: Increases the intensity and effectiveness of your focus, further enhancing your magical abilities and concentration during combat.

Focus Extension:

Dual Focus:

Focus Synergy:

Mana Manipulation:

Mana Amplification:

Advanced Mana Manipulation:

Mana Intensification:

Mana Sensitivity:

I notice one of the skill upgrades.

Huh? Did I see it right?
