Rebirth of the Exiled Gods' Pawn: An MMORPG Saga

Chapter 8: chapter 8 KAELITH



Ethan's decision was swift and confident. As the Angel explained the classes, his mind was already made up. In his previous life, he had chosen the Archer specialization of the Ranger class, and it had been his greatest strength. He had mastered the art of precision, learned to read the battlefield like a chessboard, and honed his skills to near perfection. This time, he wouldn't hesitate. He knew exactly what he needed to do.

The Angel's voice echoed softly, "Have you made your choice, traveler?"

Ethan nodded without a second thought. "I'll be a Ranger, specializing as an Archer."

The Angel's wings shimmered, and the holographic menu shifted, displaying the sleek, agile form of an Archer. The avatar wore light leather armor, a finely crafted bow in hand, and a quiver of arrows strapped to its back. The Angel's voice resonated again, "A wise choice, traveler. The path of the Archer is one of precision, adaptability, and mastery over the battlefield. May your arrows fly true, and your aim never falter."

Ethan smirked. He didn't need the Angel's blessing—he already knew what he was capable of. In his past life, he had reached the pinnacle of the Archer class, unlocking rare skills and techniques that few players ever achieved. He had been a legend, a name whispered in awe across Eldoria. But that life had ended in betrayal and loss. This time, he would reclaim his glory—and surpass it.

As the Angel finalized his character, Ethan's mind raced with plans. He knew that Eldoria wasn't just about the base classes. There were special classes—rare, advanced paths that could only be unlocked through specific achievements, quests, or hidden conditions. These special classes were game-changers, offering unique abilities and powers that could turn the tide of any battle. In his previous life, he had narrowly missed unlocking one. This time, he wouldn't make the same mistake.

Special Classes Ethan Knew About

Ethan's knowledge of Eldoria's secrets gave him an edge. He recalled several special classes that were tied to the Archer path:

1. Sky Hunter

Unlock Condition: Complete the "Winds of the Aether" questline and defeat the Stormwing Drake.

Abilities: Mastery of aerial combat, the ability to summon wind arrows, and enhanced mobility.

Ethan's Thoughts: "This class would give me unparalleled range and mobility. Perfect for picking off enemies from above."

2. Shadowstriker

Unlock Condition: Infiltrate the Shadow Guild and earn their trust.

Abilities: Stealth-enhanced archery, the ability to fire arrows that bypass defenses, and shadow-based traps.

Ethan's Thoughts: "A hybrid of Archer and Rogue. Deadly in the right hands, but it requires a lot of patience."

3. Celestial Marksman

Unlock Condition: Complete the "Starlit Path" trial and align with the Celestial Order.

Abilities: Divine-infused arrows, the ability to mark targets for guaranteed critical hits, and celestial blessings.

Ethan's Thoughts: "This class is all about precision and power. If I can unlock it early, I'll be unstoppable."

4. Beastlord

Unlock Condition: Tame a legendary beast and bond with it.

Abilities: Command beasts to fight alongside you, enhanced tracking, and nature-based attacks.

Ethan's Thoughts: "A Beastmaster on steroids. Not my style, but it's a strong option for group play."

5. Arcane Archer

Unlock Condition: Discover the lost Arcane Forge and infuse your bow with magic.

Abilities: Spell-infused arrows, elemental attacks, and the ability to manipulate the battlefield with magic.

Ethan's Thoughts: "This is the one. Combining Archery with magic would make me a force to be reckoned with."

Ethan's Plan

Ethan's goal was clear. He would start as an Archer, leveraging his existing skills to quickly rise through the ranks. But his true focus would be on unlocking the Arcane Archer special class. It was the perfect blend of his strengths—precision, adaptability, and raw power. With it, he could dominate both solo and group play, turning the tide of any battle in his favor.

As the Angel finished finalizing his character, Ethan felt a surge of excitement. The world of Eldoria stretched out before him, filled with endless possibilities. This time, he wouldn't just be a player—he would be a legend.

The Angel's voice echoed one last time, "Your journey begins now, traveler. May your arrows find their mark, and your path be filled with glory."

Ethan smirked, gripping his bow tightly. "Oh, they will," he muttered under his breath. "And this time, I'm taking everything."

With that, he stepped forward into the world of Eldoria, his eyes set on the horizon. The hunt had begun.

As the Angel finalized Ethan's character class, its serene voice echoed once more, "Now, traveler, you must choose a name for your character. This name will be your identity in the world of Eldoria. Choose wisely, for it cannot be changed once confirmed."

Ethan's mind raced. In his previous life, he had used his real name, Ethan Vale, and his actual appearance. It had been a mistake—one that had cost him dearly. Eldoria wasn't just a game; it was a world where the lines between reality and virtuality blurred. Players had been hunted down in real life based on their in-game identities, and Ethan had lost friends—and nearly his own life—because of it. This time, he wouldn't make the same mistake.

He adjusted his character's appearance, altering it by 15 percent. It was enough to make him unrecognizable to anyone who might remember him from his past life, but not so drastic that it felt unnatural. His hair was a slightly different shade, his jawline more defined, and his eyes a colder, sharper blue. He looked like a stranger, even to himself.

The Angel waited patiently as Ethan finalized the adjustments. "Your appearance has been set. Now, what name will you bear in this world?"

Ethan thought for a moment. He needed a name that would strike fear into his enemies and inspire his allies. A name that would become legendary. He smirked as it came to him.

"Kaelith," he declared, his voice firm and confident.

The Angel's wings shimmered, and the name appeared above Ethan's character in glowing letters: Kaelith. It was a name that carried weight, a name that would be remembered.

"Kaelith," the Angel repeated, its voice resonating with approval. "A name of power and purpose. May it guide you on your journey."

Ethan—now Kaelith—nodded. He felt a sense of finality as the name settled into place. This was his new identity, his new beginning. No one would connect Kaelith to Ethan Vale. He was free to carve his own path without the shadows of his past haunting him.

The Angel spread its wings, its form beginning to fade. "Your journey begins now, Kaelith. The world of Eldoria awaits. Go forth, and may your arrows find their mark."

As the Angel disappeared, Kaelith stood alone in the lush forest, the sun filtering through the trees. He tightened his grip on his bow, feeling the weight of the quiver on his back. The interface updated, displaying his new name and adjusted appearance. He was ready.

Kaelith's eyes narrowed as he looked toward the horizon. The world of Eldoria was vast and filled with danger, but he was no longer the naive player he had been in his past life. He was a veteran, a predator, and this time, he would be the one hunting.

With a deep breath, he stepped forward into the unknown, his mind already racing with plans. The first step was to level up quickly and gather resources. The second was to track down the questline that would unlock the Arcane Archer special class. And the third… well, the third was to make sure no one ever discovered who he really was.

As he moved through the forest, his movements were precise and deliberate. He was no longer Ethan Vale, the hunted. He was Kaelith, the hunter. And the world of Eldoria would soon learn to fear his name.
