<h4>Chapter 11 - ss Selection</h4>


    "There are many paths suitable for a young man such as yourself, brave and extraordinary, and no matter which path you choose, you must work hard and persevere. First, there is the way of the warriors…"


    The instructor''s voice droned on as he exined the details of the game, but unlike how he had rudely interrupted the fairy at the beginning of the game, Liam didn''t act casually with the middle-aged man.


    He silently listened to the man''s words, as the both of them walked towards the aptitude testing room of the training hall.


    Even though all yers were freely able to choose whatever ss they preferred, the game system still gave out rmendations in the name of aptitude testing.


    Everyone had initially assumed that this was because of the extremely realisticponent of the game but this was in fact an actual test to determine the affinity of the yer for different kinds of magic and hidden attributes like perceptivity.


    Those who didn''t take their test results seriously and ignored the system''s rmendations could only cryter after realizing that they had missed the chance to pick something more optimal for them.


    For instance, if the system notified a yer that he or she has a very high affinity for mana, it would be a mistake to go for a purebat ss like the warrior ss.


    And inversely, if he or she had a very low, negligible affinity for mana, there was no point in picking a spell caster ss like the mage ss.


    So in the end, even if yers had the freedom to pick whatever ss they want, they were still inevitably restricted by their own body and its limitations.


    However, it was also not impossible to ovee these limitations. There were several methods one could use to fine-tune their body ording to the ss they dared to choose.


    But these were few and far between and it was prudent for an average yer to rely on these mysterious items.


    Nodding at the instructor''s exnation, Liam ced his hand on a smooth round crystal ball, simr to the one used by chatans for fortune-telling.


    Unlike others who treated this step far too casually, Liam''s face showed traces of anxiety and nervousness.


    The first time around, his body constitution was without a doubt pathetic. He had no mana affinity and so he had chosen to y the ss swordsman.


    But this time around, he had cleansed himself of impurities and tempered his body at least twice, that too once with a powerful elixir.


    yers who had done this in his previous life were all able to get high mana affinity in their test results which was what Liam was hoping for as well.


    But even if he did not get what he expected, he still knew enough things to achieve the results he ultimately aimed for.


    And Liam''s current aim was not the swordsman ss even though he was most familiar with that ss. Rather he aimed for the mage ss.


    This was because Liam knew something that the others did not yet know. In Evolution Online, sses were not set in stone. Some extraordinary yers were able to perceive other rted sses as well.


    This inevitably led to the rise of hybrid sses such asbat mages, magic hunters, spear druids, and so on. There were also yers who had unlocked hidden sses like dragon warriors.


    So even though Liam''s current n was to register himself as a mage, he was confident that he would be able to be a magic swordsman on his own.


    He had been a ve andckey for almost the entirety of his past life, but he had never once epted that fate. He had worked very hard, pouring his blood and sweat in order to break through that shackle.


    And even if he failed in the end, the swordy he practiced day and night, the closebat instincts he had honed through several life and death battles were still alive and raging within him.


    He did not need the system''s help in reviving those skills again. All he had to do was swing his sword and he was confident that he would be able to relearn everything on his own.


    Mulling over his ns mentally, Liam awaited the results of the aptitude test when suddenly the crystal started glowing and a multitude of colors shed on it.


    Hmmm? Liam knitted his brows together, observing the behavior of the crystal. His face showed that he was seeing something that even he had not expected.


    The middle-aged instructor standing next to him also had a look of shock on his face. Though the shock on the instructor''s face was several times more dramatic than the one Liam had.


    The crystal continued blinking with different colors for several seconds before it finally returned back to its nk white translucent resting state.


    "Ah? This?" The instructor scratched his head, not knowing what to say to Liam, who as well stared unblinkingly at the crystal ball.


    The both of them didn''t have to wait for too long, as a white screen immediately shed in front of them disying the test results.


    [Ding. Mana Affinity: S grade]


    [Ding. Perceptivity: SSS grade]


    [Ding. Nature Affinity: S grade]


    [Ding. Demonic Affinity: S grade]


    [Ding. Undead Affinity: SSS grade]


    [Ding. ss Rmendation: N/A]


    Liam''s eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of the socket. He knew that he was going to get good results, but what the hell was this???


    Even the ss rmendation came out as not avable?


    "Did I just break the system….?"
