His past life had always been tough and full of hardship. His life was the kind that no others could understand. He would only choose to resist silently.
At this moment, the gloomy aura on his body faded. Perhaps due to the letter, he revealed his weak side.
The worth of familial love was not something anything could replace.
The letter's sincere words eased his heart, and his body relaxed a little.
All this while, Varius' father felt guilty and blamed himself for ruining his sons future. This matter had turned into an enormous burden in his heart.
Now that he knew what his parents did for him, he let out a sigh.
"Varius, by the time you read this we have already left you alone."
"Varius, you should know that we love you so much. And we would do anything to be by yourside."
"But sadly, this is the only thing we can think of to secure your future."
"Live your life to the fullest."
"Don't let others dictate you. Just remember that we are always in your heart."
...
Varius found it hard to accept this. After all, from the moment he was born in this world, he was told that he was an orphan.
This changed Varius' impression of his parents considerably.
At this point, Varius laughed at himself.
"I thought they hate me.?"
Varius had a sullen expression in his face.
It was rare for him to reveal his true feelings. He finish reading it.
...
At night, Varius was lying in his room on his bed.
His mind was filled with complicated thoughts. He couldn't stop thinking about the awakening serum, the letter from his father, and the class awakening that would be coming tomorrow.
Right at this moment, an unfamiliar mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the Soul Devouring System!]
It was his own cheat system!
Varius was a veteran novel reader in his previous life. How could he not know about the cheat system, a necessary tool for web novels?
When he had just transmigrated to this world, he had constantly been looking forward to the arrival of this system.
However, as time passed, this thought was gradually extinguished.
He did not expect that just as he had accepted his fate and adapted to this world, the cheat system would appear just like that.
Moreover, looking at the name of this system, it seems to be a mighty system.
What could this system do?
The system seemed to know what Varius was thinking, and its response appeared in his mind.
[System Ability: Devour the soul that the host slain. Chance to gain their skills and knowledge.]
[The Soul can be any creature.]
Hearing the system's words, Varius was delighted. He knew that the system was powerful, but he did not expect it to be this good!
Although he was surprised by the system's magic, Varius frowned again.
According to the system, he needs to kill before devouring a soul.
The first thing Varius thought of was the vial in his hand. He did not know if he can awaken a combat type class.
Just as Varius thought this, the system answered in his mind.
[Host can aquire skill not related to Host awakened class.]
Thinking of this, Varius suddenly had an idea.
If Varius could obtain any skill, won't he be invincible?
The system replied.
"Host should not be to smug."
"Host still need to kill to devour a soul."
Varius' eyes couldn't help but widen a little.
Never would he have thought that the system would reprimand him, whereas the other system don't seem to talk to the host.
This had overturned the impression of the system in Varius' eyes entirely.
He suddenly recalled his father's letter.
He suddenly felt a miraculous sense of fate.
Before this, he had initially been thinking of obtaining a low-grade class. But now, Varius had decided in his heart. He would accept any class he awaken!
With the help of the system, he was confident that any class he obtain would be destined to glory in his hands.
…
The night passed silently.
The next day, Varius got up early and went out to the school to gather. The school gathering place was at the field.
There was still an hour before the Class Awakening Ceremony when Varius arrived. However, almost all the second grade had already come.
"Varius!"
Ryan spotted him from afar and waved his hand as he ran towards Varius. His face was flushed red and full of excitement.
Varius was also affected by Ryan's cheerful mood. He greeted him with a smile, "Ryan."
Ryan patted Varius' shoulder affectionately.
"Varius, after today, we'll be professionals. When the time comes, we'll work together with a vanguard to hunt down Magical Beasts and kill them!" Varius smiled and said.
"Alright, but the class I hope to awaken is a vanguard. We don't need to find any other vandguard class to accompany us."
Hearing this, Ryan looked at Varius with a strange expression.
"Huh? Varius, did you get an Awakening Serum? What grade is it? Show them to me."
Ryan lowered his head to look at Varius' hands and pockets as he spoke.
Today, Varius was wearing their uniform with and jeans on the bottom and a combat boots.
Ryan raised his head to look at Varius, only to find that there was a strange, faint smile on his face.
Ryan was stunned. He couldn't understand what Varius meant.
However, looking at his good friend's expression, he didn't think Varius was playing with him.
The two of them had played together since they were young and had known each other for more than ten years. He could tell that the other party was being serious. Yet, Ryan didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Ryan was speechless, Varius didn't explain.
Putting his arm around Ryan's shoulder, Varius led him to the meeting point on the field.
The two of them stood in the middle of the gathering line. Ryan looked very uneasy, but he did not say anything else in the end.
After waiting for an hour, it was time for the Class Awakening ceremony to begin.
At this moment, the students participating in the ceremony stood in the middle of the field. In front of them were five tents.
There was a teacher in charge on each tent.
A middle-aged teacher with only a few strands of hair on his head walked to the front and said to the students, "Students, the Class Awakening is about to begin. I want to inform everyone about the process and to pay attention to it later.
"The class teacher will call their students' names. The students called will bring their respective serum to the corresponding tent. Once they enter the tent, the teacher will help them awaken their class.
"After the class awakening, remember to report your class to the respective teachers and then return to your original position.
"After any Class Awakening is completed, it will be level 1. Students will see their skills and experience to level up through their respective panels."
What the teacher said was some old-fashioned talk.
Most of the students had already known about this. Although this kind of talk was also a regular event every year, the students looking forward to their classes' early awakening had long been impatient.
Finally, before the students became restless, the teacher finished his speech.
The Class Awakening ceremony had officially begun.
Varius stood in the line waiting for roll call, listening to the discussions of his classmates.
"How many people do you think will be promoted to an advance class this time?"
"It's hard to say. Advance class is the most popular this year. The price of advance serum has been hyped up to the sky. Who can afford it?"
"Sigh, it would be great if I could become an advance Swordmaster. That class is a game-changer in group battles."
"That's not all. If a Swordmaster has a good weapon, he can kill enemies across ranks. The upper limit of this profession is too terrifying. Last year, the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination was a Swordmaster himself."
"Sigh, what class did you choose?"
…
Varius kept hearing discussions about all kinds of powerful classes. However, he was not moved at all.
He was not a person who liked to be fickle. Since he had chosen a path, he would continue walking down it resolutely.
Moreover, with the help of his Soul Devouring System, he will obtain every skill possible . Any class he awaken will be much stronger than the regular classes that his classmates were discussing.
As Varius was waiting for the teacher to call his name, a commotion was heard.
"Look over there!"
"F*ck, a Swordmaster?"
The students turned around and looked at the third room, then revealed a shocked expression.
Varius took a look as well. He saw a skinny figure standing on the third room. Around him was a small golden-red sword that was constantly flying around. He looked highly arrogant.
"Who is that? How can he be so lucky? He can even afford to buy an advance serum!"
"Not only that, he can use a sword so quickly. He's a prodigy!"
"Look at his sword. It doesn't seem to be an ordinary sword. It is one of high quality. I'm so envious!"
…
Varius recognized the person on the third room the moment he saw him.
That person also looked in Varius' direction. He was slightly stunned, and then his eyes revealed a mocking smile.
It was none other than Carl.
Carl's fingers formed a formation and pointed at Varius' position.
"Go!"
The small golden-red sword flew toward Varius' position!
