Of all the possible ways to make money in Rise Online, Farming was the one that most pleased Klaus Park at first glance.

Farming is when a player spends a long time hunting one or more monsters. It occurs both intending to gain EXP and obtain a specific item that the hunted monster can drop.

Let's say that one monster can drop an enchanted wand when it dies, but the drop rate is extremely low, so the player needs to kill this same type of creature several times to have a chance of one of them dropping the enchanted wand.

So this tactic was perfect for Klaus Park; after all, he needed EXP to level up, and as soon as he got a drop, he would put it up for sale on the World Market, so players who need this item for a quest or something else, and who have money, can buy from him. That way, he could earn some money while also having fun.

However, the fact that Klaus was two levels lower than an average beginner was certainly a problem. It was never expected for a game to limit the player to leave the Starting City in any MMORPG, so Klaus was sure there was a reason for that rule.

Maybe the developers wanted new players to learn a few things before they started exploring, or perhaps the monsters were too strong for a newbie to handle.

Anyway, Klaus decided he wouldn't start thinking about it yet. He had a high PR, so maybe he could handle weaker monsters even at his current level, but that would depend on his present Attributes.

Klaus Park opened the system with a swipe of his finger and looked for the Attributes tab. When he found it, he clicked to see how much rising from level 1 to 3 made him stronger.

Soon he saw that he was up only two points in Attack and one in Agility. This was underwhelming; however, he was just glad he didn't lose the stats got before he died.

"This game seems to be quite punishing, so why didn't they take away the points I gained?" Klaus looked a little thoughtful. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

Then Klaus noticed that at the bottom of the Attributes screen, there was another tab called Class Abilities.

Before clicking on that, Klaus looked both ways down the alley he was and realized that there was no one around except for the people passing on the side street. It would suck if someone was spying on his system screen and saw the two negative levels; he would become a joke in town.

Klaus clicked on the tab, and the system screen expanded before his eyes. At the same time, the voice of the system echoed in his mind, warning him:

[You have earned a Class Point for reaching Level 3.

In Rise Online, wonderful worlds and millions of unexplored places await you. The borders have opened for you.

Good luck on your journey, traveler!]

Before Klaus Park could react to the message, a Skill Tree appeared in front of him. The tree was still small, had only three initial branches, and three Skills to unlock, while the rest was all hidden by a gray mist.

At the starting point of the Skill Tree flowchart, there was already something unlocked, an Inherent Skill of his Class, and at the top of the screen was a message explaining what it was all about.

[This is your Class Skill Tree. On this screen, you can unlock Class Abilities with Class Points.]

"So it works that way here too. Well, at least that's intuitive." Klaus shrugged.

The Skill Tree branches were small initially, but they usually expanded quite a bit in any genre game. At the moment, there are only three Skills to unlock.

"I have a Class Point, right? I think I will use it before I go hunting." Klaus decided and clicked on the first Skill to read its description.

<strong>[Class Ability:</strong> Scanning Eye.

Seeing beyond what the eyes can see is crucial for those who want to become stronger.

You will be able to read the Status screens of everyone who is up to 30 levels above you. This Skill will evolve with you.

(You are unable to distribute Class Points to this Skill, this Skill cannot be evolved manually).

Do you want to unlock the <Scanning Eye> for 1 Rank Point? YES/NO.<strong>]</strong>

<strong>[Class Ability:</strong> Apographer of Skills.

Fate cannot limit your scope of abilities if your talent is to copy.

This Skill will allow you to copy Skills from other players, but there will be an original requirement for each one.

(You are unable to distribute Class Points to this Skill, this Skill cannot be evolved).

Want to unlock the <Apographer of Skills> for 10 Class Points? YES/NO.<strong>]</strong>

<strong>[Class Ability:</strong> Sidereal Casting.

Smelting and transforming are a Blacksmith's Primary Skills, but Psyker's do more than smelt iron or gold, Psyker's merge bonds and fates.

You will be able to fuse Items and Skills according to your level.

Want to unlock <Sidereal Foundry> for 5 Rank Points YES/NO.<strong>]</strong>

Klaus could see so many possibilities for these three Abilities that he felt almost at a dead end. He only had one Class Point available, so now he could only unlock the <Scanning Eye>. However, once he unlocked this Skill, he would be even further away from the others.

Klaus would only be left with Class Inherent Ability if he chose not to unlock the <Scanning Eye> for now.

<strong>[Class Inherent Ability:</strong> Telekinesis.

Typically, Telekinesis can only be unlocked by bargaining with the Abyss entities, but the origin of the Psyker's Telekinesis is even older than the Abyss itself.

With this Ability, you can move objects with your psychic energy.

(You are unable to distribute Class Points to this Skill, this Skill will spontaneously grow depending on your character's actions or if you face monsters stronger than your current level with a certain frequency.)<strong>]</strong>

"Move objects with your mind? That's what the description meant, isn't it? That doesn't seem so bad, especially with this evolution condition. If I can't spend Class Points on each of these skills, that means I can focus on getting the other Skills."

The main thing that bothered Klaus Park at the moment was the Class Points, and he didn't know how he got them.

If this kind of point was received when leveling up, Klaus should have gained two Class Points for leveling up two levels, and that's not what happened.

With that in mind, Klaus decided to log out and search the Webnet more about the subject, so he wouldn't mess up in the Early Game.
