The System’s chime echoed across the trials, a sound that carried weight and finality.


    [Global Announcement: Participant #1421 has achieved Level 10 and met the requirements to unlock their first class. Congratulations!]


    For many, the announcement was an inspiring milestone, a sign that the trials were progressing and someone had reached a significant turning point. For others, it was a reminder of how far they still had to go.


    Kei stretched his arms above his head, the plateau wind tousling his hair. “Level 10, huh?” he muttered, smirking. “Guess someone’s a teacher’s pet.”


    Mia, deep in the grove’s chaotic harmony, raised an eyebrow at the announcement, her Balance Talisman glowing faintly. “So soon?” she murmured. “Impressive.”

    The First Unlock


    Participant #1421 stood in their trial zone, the announcement still resonating in their mind. As the System unfurled the list of potential classes, their heart raced with anticipation.


    The classes offered reflected the participant’s Law alignment and abilities, each tailored to enhance their progression. Options ranged from standard choices like Elemental Vanguard and Ardent Spear to rarer selections like Void Sentinel and Celestial Blade.


    After a moment of deliberation, they selected Stormblade, a melee fighter attuned to the Law of Lightning. The System chimed again, acknowledging their decision.


    [Class Unlocked: Stormblade.]


    [Abilities and Traits Unlocked.]


    The trial zone around them shifted, crackling with newfound energy as the participant’s journey took a bold step forward.

    Kei’s Path: A Growing Determination


    The announcement lingered in Kei’s thoughts, pushing him to refocus on his training. The realization that others were advancing faster stoked a competitive flame within him.This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    [Current Level: 8.]


    [Law of Sound Progression: 20% (Cap Reached for Mortal Realm).]


    “Alright, System,” Kei said, his grin sharp. “When I hit Level 10, you better have something cool lined up.”


    Though he didn’t yet know it, Kei’s exceptional potential ensured that when the time came, his options would surpass anything Participant #1421 had seen.

    Mia’s Quiet Resolve


    Far from Kei’s plateau, Mia moved with precision and focus. The Balance Talisman pulsed rhythmically at her side as she stabilized another chaotic flow of Essence in the grove.


    The announcement didn’t distract her—it only strengthened her resolve. If someone else had reached Level 10, she knew she wasn’t far behind. Yet, unlike others, her path wasn’t about power or speed; it was about control and harmony.


    [Current Level: 9.]


    [Law of Balance Progression: 20% (Cap Reached for Mortal Realm).]


    As the trial pushed her further, Mia contemplated what her first class might offer. She didn’t want grand power or elaborate techniques. She sought something simple, something aligned with her principles.

    The System’s Design for Classes


    At Level 10, the System presented participants with a curated list of class options, each reflecting their strengths, weaknesses, and Law affinities. Most received five to seven choices, each one suited to their unique progression.


    But for those with exceptional potential, the list was exponentially larger. The System calculated their potential and offered over a dozen possibilities, including rare and hidden classes.


    Kei, when the time came, would be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices.

    The Fractured Zone’s Ripples


    The Fractured Zone continued to expand, its chaotic energy influencing the trials in subtle but profound ways. Essence flows became more volatile, environments shifted unpredictably, and challenges grew more dangerous.


    For Kei, the ocean’s resonance patterns became harder to predict, the waves erratic and discordant. For Mia, the grove’s Essence grew heavier, the chaotic flows harder to stabilize. Though neither of them knew it, the trials were evolving, shaped by forces beyond their control.

    The Future Awaits


    As more participants approached Level 10, the tension in the trials grew. Each choice carried weight, shaping not just individual paths but the trajectory of Earth’s integration into the multiverse.


    For Kei and Mia, their first classes would be a defining moment—one that would reveal the depth of their potential and set them on a path that even the System couldn’t fully predict.
