Sorry, but you’re dead.

But hey, don’t be sad, you died doing something vaguely heroic or selfless so I’ve decided to reincarnate you, just like all those animes and things you humans love in your world. So you know the basics, world that runs on a game-like system with classes, skills, passive abilities, stats, all that good stuff.

Most things about your new life you get to pick but the “special boon” most people get in these animes and mangas and stuff I will be deciding what to give you. You tell me what starting class you have and what your goals or objectives are in this world and I’ll decide from there.

Rules/Info:

-Just so you know you’re not the only person I am reincarnating to this new world! There will be many of you each with their own unique boon. And no, I’m sorry, you can’t take their boons…except in a few special situations but if those come up I’ll let you know.(This means Everyone that responds to this exists in the same world)

-Select one of the starting classes. These are the basic classes and shall evolve with time and leveling up to match the way you live your life, the skills you learn and use most often, etc. Just fyi all classes have bonuses and drawbacks, even when evolved, so a master of all situation isn’t really possible.

-Before you ask, yes you get the basic skills of the class you take. Mages get basic magical abilities and knowledge, acolytes get all requisite knowledge on how to be a priest of their divinity and all common knowledge relate to them, fighters get basic skill in most common weaponry, rogues get skill in stealth and in weapons they’d generally use. Everyone gets basic world knowledge like culture of tour starting area and the language.

-After you have your starting class decide what your goals/objectives are in this world. Then I shall grant you a boon to help you on your way. This can be a skill, a passive effect/ability, maybe even something material or more esoteric. Just know that It won’t be the insanely overpowered ones you humans put in so many of those stories but they will most certainly be helpful on your way to your goal. And skills/abilities can evolve with time, training, challenge and use so they might just well become something quite strong.

-Yes. You may make a request as to what your boon will be or what it’s general nature will be. It might be granted or not though.

-No. you won’t be getting The super-luck and coincidences and the perfect situation that isekai characters get. Other than a bit higher starting stats, some knowledge upload like language and customs, and your special boon you’re just another person in this world.

World Info:

-You start at lvl 10 with all the basic knowledge/skill of your class. This puts you at the level of an apprentice adventurer, but you have your special boon so that’s nice.

-Level cap is 999. This is immensely high, and impossible to reach in any mortal lifetime, reaching it would take centuries if all you did was level up. If you want to reach it I’d find a way to immortality, but that has its own difficulties. The only way beyond this level is to become a god or similar level being.

-The world is full of many things. Monsters, mystery. Kings and Queens and nobles(some good, some bad, some in the middle. They’re real people after all), Adventurers, Fey, demons, angels, spirits, and much much much more. Ruins of ancient civilizations, ancient artifacts, sleeping monsters best left alone, and all the things you could ever want in your fantasy world.

-Powerful magical beings have the power to grant boons(lesser ones than the ones offered here), these boons depend on the creature granting them. A unicorn would give some kind of beneficial/holy/pure boon while a vampire would give something relate to dark/blood magics.

-The weakest God/godlike being is level 1000. At that point levels stop going up since they lose all meaning. Becoming even a low-tier god is a truly monumental task, requiring magical power of a truly absurd degree. Like the simultaneous blood sacrifice of an entire small country level magic(no, that’s not the only way. There are many but all equally difficult) In addition you need to be level 999 to even attempt it and if you do anything wrong in the effort well…let’s just say eternity in the worst hell imaginable is a preferable fate.

-The gods/beings that acolytes serve come in Domains. These are things like the sun, the storm, nature, strength, death, invention etc. Before you try no, there is no domain of “everything” or “omnipotence” or “all” or “existence” or anything like that. Think the old pagan gods as examples of what a god can have as a domain. Gods can only have up to three domains and contradicting domains cannot be held by one god.

-No, you cannot be your own god nor will any god grant you immense power right off the bat. It just won’t happen, sorry. The hard way is the only way.

-This world is one of a multiverse controlled by the gods of this reality. Just fyi, but all of them follow the same rules.

-Just so you know. I’m not a God. I’m far beyond that and it is entirely impossible to even approach what I am. Sorry. But hey! Maybe if you become a god of this world or similar level being we might see each other again one day, that’d be fun wouldn’t it!

Starting classes:

FYI: All classes are strong in their own way. A high level mage may have powerful magic but they lack physical ability where as a high level fighter could probably arm wrestle a young dragon. All have their own style and strengths.

-Mage: General starting magic class. Very little combat/physical ability, can gain some with time effort or class evolution. Uses arcane magic which requires time, training, research, and practice to learn spells. Can evolve into things like battlemage, necromancer, Druid, white mage, dark mage, and eventually into things like archmage or lich or archdruid at the higher end of it.

-Acolyte: A general starting magic class. Start with very little combat/physical ability but can gain some with time, effort, and class evolution. Unlike arcane where the power comes from you Acolytes draw power from a deity or other higher being who grants them power. They grow by time and training but also by showing their dedication and devotion to their patron(it has to be real. They can sense if it isn’t). Not as limited to support/healing magic as many would think. Can turn into classes such as warlock(a dark version of an acolyte), cleric(healing/support), paladin(more combat focused), and eventually into things such as, Dark Avatar, Grand Cleric, or Divine Avenger.

-Fighter: General combat class. Power comes from time, training, exercise, and challenging yourself with new opponents and the like. Have very little magical ability but can learn some with class evolutions. Can grow into things such as ranger, martial artist, archer, magefighter, barbarian, etc. Eventually can attain classes such as Magekiller, bladesinger, Zealot, Deadeye, etc.

-Rogue: General Martial class. Low magical ability, decent combat ability, high stealth/dexterity. Power comes from time, effort, and training. Can grow into things such as thief, assassin, criminal mastermind, and eventually into things such as wraith, Machiavellian, or burglar(evolution of thief).

-Classes can also evolve into non-combat versions. Rogue can become merchant, mage can become magic crafter, fighter can become blacksmith, acolyte can become priest, etc, but I doubt you’ll go that route.

(if you think of another possible starting class I didn’t put ask, if it’s reasonable I’ll say yes)

What is your starting class?

What are your plans/goals/objectives?

Anything else(what domain of being you serve as an acolyte, requests as to your boon, questions, etc)?
