Novel Full Chapter 55 - The Choice
Rudra was faced with a tough choice ... All three special stats were incredibly usefull to any player . However he had to choose one , hence he decided to think things through logically .
Knights could use magic ..... Although large AOE spells needing large amounts of mana was not possible for knights , they could still cast simple spells like fireball and darkness blast.
Rudra 's battle style was more sword based anyway , hence he felt that okay ..... He could do without the mana stat , as it would start from 0 , it still needed stat points allocation to grow stronger.....his strength being the sword and he aldready being a knight being capable of wielding various weapons , and casting simple spells , he decided to drop this option .
Now came the immortality cheat , 5 seconds of immortality after hp hits 0 could make the difference of heaven and earth in a battle.... If used right it could easily create an unknown variable in a battle, even taking the enemys strongest attack you dont fall , having a chance for a counter.
Rudra was really really tempted for this skill , it could be the ace in the whole for him .No assassination attempt would ever go unnoticed , maybe in a boss fight that extra five seconds is all you need to clear the dungeon.
However when he analysed the situation objectively , the option one for golden ratio boost was the best option all around. The golden ratio passive would remain there with him throughout his growth journey , it wasnt like if today if he has a 100 points in stats he gets an extra 50 according to the passive boost. However someday when his stats reach the 1000 point the passive would add another 500 points , it was like gaining 1.5 levels everytime he levelled up. With time it would make him absolutely invincible.
Rudra was torn between the two options , and he finally decided that he would decide based on the amount of unassigned stat points he needed to equalize the ratio to 1:1:1:1:1 , if it needed him to level up too much , he would consider picking the other option first.
Rudra called for the stat panel

Rudra took this as a sign from above and chose the first option . He readjusted the stat ratio again and called for the system pannel equipping the passive.

OP , he definitely became OP. Rudra could confidently now say that he had the highest stats of all players in the game. And this lead will only widen with time. He was extremely happy with this bonus.
Lets see who could equal Rudra on the battlefield now .... He would definitely be a one man wrecking crew now.

There were a total of 97 normal non combat subclasse options available for Rudra to choose from. Rudra opened the tab for Bombmaker subclass
[ Bombmaker ] ( normal ) : Imbue gunpowder and mana based bombs to create an explosive mixture. Great for PVE and mob grinding
Caution : high chances to explode while producing ..... Player may die many times while crafting.
It was a class which was highly sought after in Rudra's past life..... Bombmakers were usually exclusive to guilds. They were heavily contracted and demand exceeded the supply for bombs making it a very lucrative job .
Rudra needed the class for his upcoming guild war ....else he absolutely had no use for the class . Sighing he decided to take a look at the legendary classes before deciding
Special classes :
Mechanic
Runesmith
Enchanter
.
.
.
Scientist
.
.
.
Illusion Artist
.
.
Explosion artist
.
.
.
Notary
Gunmaker
There were a total of 20 special subclasses , last life there were only 2 gunmakers in the entire game .... Part of super guilds . Bringing a gun to a sword fight was definitely a big big edge down the game.
However for balance there were no automatic rifles or rotating barrel pistols in the game ..... There was only single action rifles with accuracy upto 30 meters and hell of a recoil ..... Even then it was not impenetrable to armour. With legendary or epic armour you may stop the bullet. However still it was overall a highly effective weapon.
Rudra calmly read the description of many classes, the class runesmith and illusion master definitely caught his eye as extremely useful .... However what really stood out was the Explosion Artist class.
[ Explosion Artist ] ( Legendary ) : Explosion and destruction is a form of art .... Using chemical based bombs as a base , sky is the limit for your creations ..... Create the strongest and most beautiful bombs known to all sentient creatures .
Caution : The class has no fix way of gaining experience through crafting , its levelling system depends on the expression of the art of explosion.
Rudra was definitely most intrigued by this , this class had the potential to be much bigger than a normal Bombmaker however his past life knowledge cheat had no knowledge about this field ... It would be uncharted territory , with the war being soo close could he really take that risk??
Rudra was torn in the decision of what to do ... However in the end he decided fu** it lets go for the legendary class.
Rudra chose the Explosion Artist as his subclass.....
