The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 72: The Three Main Classes, Subclasses, Arcane Classes, and Item Fusion

After a few minutes of walking, Kayn can no longer hold himself back from his curiosity, so at long last, he decided to ask, "Since we are already far from the Black Panda team and no one around us could possibly steal whatever secret you are trying to hide, could I finally ask about what we are going to use all of these items for?"

"You seriously can't wait a little bit longer, don't you?" Natas chuckled.

"I can't help it," He has been thinking along the way about what Natas has in mind for those items. Even though he knows a lot of things as he is someone from the future, he just can't think of what possible use there is for them other than to utilize them as what they are intended to be used for.

"How about you take a guess first?" Natas suggested. It wouldn't be fun if he simply revealed the truth the moment Kayn as for it, right?

"I don't have any clue," That's precisely the main reason why he said he can't help it.

"Oh, I forgot, you choose to become an Adventurer…"

Adventurer is one of the three main classes that a Hero can pick once they are inside the 'Tower'.

The moment a Hero is granted access by the 'Tower' to enter its floors. They will first enter a room where they have to actually pick what role or class they want to follow once they start their expedition inside the 'Tower'.

Firstly, the Adventurer. As soon as a Hero picks this class, they become the most commonly found role inside the 'Tower' — the Heroes who play the major role in clearing each floor of the 'Tower'.

Once they pick Adventurer, the Heroes would then be presented with more choices, which is going to be their sub-class. The subclasses are Knight, Guardian, Marksman, Mage, Assassin, and Priest.

Using the Black Panda team as an example, the members with the subclass of Knight are Joshua, James, and the majority of the melee combatants. The Guardian would be Victor, Alex, and Frank. Mage is none other than Alice and the others that stayed on the backline. Assassin is obviously Echo. And the Priest would be Diana.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to have anyone with the subclass of Marksman. At least as far as Kayn had observed during the dungeon raid. But according to the information he learned from the future, their Vice-Captain, which wasn't present today, is the Marksman of the Black Panda team.

Secondly, Merchants. This is the role that a lot of business-minded individuals, inventors, craftsmen, and scientists would pick. That's because only the Heroes who picked this as their main class can craft items, and consumables, and use the materials that are found inside the dungeon and the 'Tower'. Moreover, they are the only ones who have permission to take the items found inside the 'Tower' back to Earth. Other main classes cannot perform such a feat.

Although, there's also a certain requirement to be met first before they can exercise that ability that's solely given to the Merchants.

Once a Hero picked the Merchant as their main class, just like in the case of the Adventurers, they have to pick which sub-class they would follow. The subclasses are respectively Alchemist, Chef, Blacksmith, Forger, Tailor, Artificer, and Refiner.

The Alchemist can brew and concoct potions and Chefs are those that cook the meat found from monsters. These two roles doesn't restrict them from crafting helpful or harmful consumables.

Blacksmiths are those that craft armor, including but not limited to plate armor and heavy armor. On the other hand, Forgers crafts weapons and tools, like swords, axes, bows, and many others. Tailors sew cloth pieces using different kinds of cotton and leather armor using any type of leathers.

Artificer makes the wands and staff that Mages use to strengthen their Magic spells and enhance any items and consumables power with magic stones and elemental crystals.

The last subclass of the Merchant is the Refiner, they are those that remove the impurities of items and discover the secrets hidden in any weapons and consumables.

An example of the Merchants would be the organization Genesis, one of the Ten World Leaders.

And lastly, the Nobility. Just like what its name suggests, they are Heroes that became part of the ruling classes inside the 'Tower'. They are granted the rights to own property, land, or any form of territory inside the 'Tower' and manage them to whatever they deemed fit.

Unlike the Adventurers and Merchants, the moment a Hero picks the main class Nobility, they aren't given the authority to pick whatever they want. Just like every fresh nobleman, they will start with the Baron rank and slowly make their way to the top.

Aside from the main classes and subclasses, there also exist the Arcane Classes. These are the unique classes of each of the main classes and subclasses that only one Hero can possess.

"Is that related to what you intend to do with these items?" Kayn wonders how being an Adventurer is in any sort of way related to their matter right now.

"Yeah, it is, because if you aren't a Blacksmith or a Forger, or in general a Merchant, you won't understand what I am doing right now,"

"Is this related to their special ability?"

"It's not really a special ability because even you can perform it,"

"Don't tell me…"

"Item Fusion,"

Kayn has heard of that term before. Item Fusion refers to the fusing of two items of a similar type. For example, fusing a fire sword with an earth sword together. By doing so, it will create an item that possesses the ability of the two items that were fused. It was said though that there's a big chance that it will remove a passive skill or active skill of one of the two items, while there's only a small percentage to create a powerful item.

"Wasn't that just a myth?"

"Of course, not!"

"Are you sure you aren't talking about the term Reforging?"

There was also a similar process to the myth of Item Fusion called Reforging. It is the special ability that is possessed by all the craftsmen subclasses that allows them to use a piece of existing equipment or consumables and turn them into a better version of what it originally was by adding new materials to them. Albeit, it doesn't have the ability to combine two or more items together in order to create another item just like the Item Fusion.

"The reason why it's not widely known is that to perform the Item Fusion, a very strict requirement has to be met,"

"And that is?"

"The items should be a drop from a dual-element being,"

"The Molten Ice Dread Queen and the Undead Soldiers she had summoned!"

"Exactly!"

He might have faced the Ice Dread Queen today, but to tell the truth, it's actually very rare to face a being that has dual elements. Not to mention, multi elements.

Even if there exist a considerable number of items that are dropped under those circumstances as long as one tries to look hard in the market, no one would think that they can use them to perform an Item Fusion.

No wonder the Item Fusion is treated as a myth.

"This is something that we can't just perform in my room!" Kayn felt the need for them to look for a secretive place where they won't risk the chance of getting discovered.

If this was the previous Kayn, he'd no doubt spread the requirements needed in order to perform the Item Fusion. By doing so, he'd perform a heroic act that can benefit the entirety of the Human race. But with the current him, he'd just be adding more trouble to himself once such a method is revealed to the entire world. After all, it would definitely reach the ears of those people he swore to take revenge. In that case, the difficulty to defeat them would increase.

Despite how hard Kayn thinks, no place that he knows fits such a requirement.

"Actually, there's one," Natas interrupted Kayn from his thoughts.

"Where?" Kayn felt intrigued. As far as he could remember, Natas has only been to a few places ever since the day he reincarnated in the past. So, every place he had visited should be the only place that the latter had been to as well.

"Mayor Sebastian's Mansion. Don't you consider him as a potential ally?"

"Just potential," Potential ally, and ally represent two different meanings. The latter means he trusts them to his heart, whereas the latter means he is considering trusting them.

"Then let's use this opportunity to make him your official ally,"

Kayn was instantly taken aback after hearing Natas' proposal. But if he thinks things through, that's actually quite an excellent idea.

If he reveals to Mayor Sebastian the secret of Item Fusion and the latter decided to keep it a secret, then he obviously would earn his trust. On the contrary, if he does the opposite, then he could easily confirm whether it's worth making Mayor Sebastian one of his allies or not.

Although by doing this he'd risk the chance of revealing the secret of the Item Fusion to the entire world, it's actually not that big of a matter if everyone learns the method of Item Fusion. After all, even though that will help his enemies improve, it will similarly help his allies improve as well.

The only reason why he didn't like that idea just a short while ago was that he wanted to avoid that kind of event from happening if possible.

However, if he can get something that will benefit his own personal interest in exchange for doing that, then he won't mind doing so.

"I'll try to contact him now," He always has Mayor Sebastian's number on his phone. This was given to him in the past after he officially became Selina's boyfriend.

According to Mayor Sebastian, he can contact him through his number whenever he needs help in dealing with Selina's tantrums. One could say that it's like a code between men — a bro code, or in their case, a father-in-law and son-in-law code, to be exact.
