Soul Fusion Online

Thirty minutes passed, and WhiteLotus, Rose, and Violet both stood at the gate of the village in disbelief. In front of them were dead bodies all scattered across the ground. She looked at Ryu, who was currently holding a familiar figure in the air like it was nothing, before taking his sword and stabbing it through the familiar figure. "This? Ryu!?"

"Hmm? Oh! WhiteLotus, sorry as DirtyToast came and tried to get revenge for losing his items to me a few times. I do not know why he keeps coming back while dragging his guild members with him. I am sure he has lost a few levels by now." Ryu explained lightly as she tossed the body to the ground. 

"Is it just me, or are you a tad violent, Ryu?" Rose asked.

"Am I?" Ryu turned to Chi with a questioning look. 

"He's only violent to those who bother him or to those that cause harm to his loved ones. Otherwise, Ryu is a sweety. " Chi said as she took this chance to cling to Ryu's arm. 

"Plus, Rose, you have to remember one thing. This is a game where violence is part of the world. A cultivation world is based on rivers of blood. Wait until things like treasures for cultivation begin to appear. There will be blood baths. At least that was how it was in the novels anyway." Ryu explained.

"Now that you mention it…. Aw well... Anyway, where are we headed?" Rose lost interest quickly, causing WhiteLotus to shake her head. She wondered why her friend had such a short attention span.

"From what I know, we need to head west from here and towards a place called Forest of Shadows. The silver springs should be found within a cave system found under an old dying tree.  From there, I should be able to find 10 sweet silver grass for my quest as well as us finding some good loot." Ryu was hoping to get some good drops not just for himself but for everyone in the team. "Chi, send them an invite."

"Huh? Oh yeah! I forgot I was team ladder." Chi pursed her lips and quickly invited the three girls. 

"Alright, let's head out. From what I know, it should take us almost two days in game time to reach the silver springs by foot, so we should not waste much time. We can kill monsters on the way through, which might add some extra time but to get you girls, a few levels would be good as well." Ryu would not just use WhiteLotus and her friends to get what she needed. She would also help them level up as well so they might be able to live longer while in the dungeon. This would also give him more insight into their strengths and weaknesses as well, allowing him to make better battle plans. When thinking of this, Ryu realized he did not know what classes the three girls were.

"Speaking of which, what classes are you girls?" Ryu asked.

"I am a monk DPS/tank class. I focus more on the tank side of things, though. In real life, I go to a dojo for Kungfu." WhiteLotus answered.

"I am a priest since I do not have much knowledge of anything but reading books. So I will be your rear line healer." Violet blushed as she said this. She felt like the most useless one. Although in truth, being a healer was a mandatory class for any dungeon. So hearing this made Ryu relieved. 

"I am a soul wielder or mage class, whatever you want to call it. Unfortunately, athletics and things like that were never my forte." Rose answered. 

"Alright, then we have a well built team. Hold on a second. Let me just take a few spells here..."  Ryu decided to take some time and look through his list of spells. Currently, he has [Minor Soul Healing] and [Inferior Soul Bolt], one from the priest class line and one from the soul wielder line.  Ryu thought for a moment before looking at the other lines. Soon he picked one from each line.

*Ding!*

[Hidden Unique Class Unlocked!]

[Acquired by being the first to take a single skill from each class line.]

[No Class now becomes Specialist...]

[Ability point gain rises from 1 per level to 5 per level.] 

"Now that is interesting..." Ryu mumbled.

"What is?" WhiteLotus asked.

"I just took a skill from every class and unlocked a hidden unique class called Specialist. I now get 5 ability points per level." Ryu answered. 

"What!? No fair!" Rose yelled out. "That means you get 2 more ability points per level than us!" Rose frowned. She wanted extra points too!

"In a way, I can understand why but at the same time doesn't that seem a bit overpowered when it comes to later levels? Wait, how many ability points do you even have!?" WhiteLotus asked. She felt like something was wrong here.

"I had 160, but now I am down to 135 after spending 15." Ryu did not care if they knew what level he was. It is not like he would need to worry about them trying to kill him for any reason. Or anyone in this game, for that matter. That he knew of.

"I figured your level was crazy, but this ridiculous… Why haven't you been spending your ability points?" WhiteLotus really couldn't understand why Ryu would just sit on the ability points. For no reason.

"Because I don't really need them? I mean, I can kill everything with my sword as of now. What's the point of using abilities at this time? If something comes up and I find out I need an ability from a certain line to get past a difficult situation, then I would be out of luck if I spent my AP without thinking ahead. Unlike other classes, I can pick and choose what I want to use. Right now, I can be an off healer, tank, DPS, and support with some ranged spells. I am the jack of all trades right now with no downsides." Ryu gave a proud smile. He felt being someone who can do it all was just right. He could fill any role needed in a team on the fly.

"Ugh… I kinda hate the thought of being locked to a single class now! Damn and you even got a unique class no fair!"
