Chapter 1: The Son of Su

I have not yet chosen my specialization

Of course, regarding why a harmless kitten like him would encounter the unfortunate situation of an unidentified explosive device by the roadside, Masuo is quite clear about it. Five years later, two weeks ago, two young girls had a bit too much to drink at their birthday party and boldly confessed their feelings to the kitten, even daring to kiss him. This ignited the jealousy of many suitors... They may not be able to plant bombs in all the automated taxis at Lunar Pit No. 1, but they certainly have the capability to place an unidentified explosive device along Masuo's route to the airport.

They may not be able to plant bombs in all the automated taxis at Lunar Pit No. 1, but they certainly have the capability to place an unidentified explosive device along Masuo's route to the airport.

The kitten was initially a bit strange, but immediately thought of the reason—although the kitten did not have much contact with its grandfather, it was not that the kitten was inherently curious, but rather that its ancestor's account was indeed legendary—known as the legendary mage of the first open era, the founding emperor of the New Eden Empire, who is now a high-ranking deity with the title of the God of Death, once the dream lover of countless mainstream and non-mainstream girls, Pandekin Su. ... In the eyes of the NPCs on the Eastern Continent, the title of the kitten's grandfather as a mortal was considered a remedy for children's night crying ... . ... Just this point alone perfectly illustrates how poor the image of the kitten's grandfather is in the eyes of the NPCs on the Eastern Continent.

Fortunately, when players inherit their bloodline, all basic attribute values are provided with system information. Therefore, Masuo had no choice but to start confirming one by one—first was strength 4 (Dear player, the divine power and mysterious power within your bloodline have considerable conflict, your strength is only 4, please do not overestimate your capabilities). Well, the cat cub accepted this. Back in the day, their grandfather had tortured countless people; perhaps some powerful being had cursed him. At that time, grandfather, as a skeletal lich, naturally faced no issues... As a result, when grandfather reshaped his body, this curse was passed down... The cat cub accepted this. Back in the day, their grandfather had tortured countless people; perhaps some powerful being had cursed him. At that time, grandfather, as a skeletal lich, naturally faced no issues... As a result, when grandfather reshaped his body, this curse was passed down... A curse that even divine blood cannot unravel, the cat cub, even with advantages, could not resolve this issue, so they gave up.

Transform the physical point to 12, the kitten lets out a sigh—hmm hmm hmm, add the bear's endurance trait +4, then apply the bark skin spell, thorn whip spell, and enlarge spell, doing it once a night is a piece of cake! Meow hahahaha!

However, this time, the attributes are completely driving the kitten crazy: Strength 4 / Agility 10 / Constitution 6 / Intelligence 6 / Perception 14 / Charisma 14

Just as Masuo was at a loss for words, a branch suddenly sprouted from the table, and a scroll of paper appeared at its tip. Hermann Cain took the paper, and after reading it, this elder of the brotherhood frowned: "This is truly incredible, child. Forget my previous question; now it is time for you to choose your attributes. Take a look at your bloodline."

In Maso's eyes, if they eliminate the kittens, the girl will belong to them.

Charm 14 (Dear player, in terms of charm, the divine and mysterious powers within your bloodline have been suppressed. The bloodline from your mother and grandmother—the Lady of Death from New Eden, Surent—has granted you excellent charm and appearance) ... After some consideration, the kitten decided to take this as a compliment to its appearance, as it has been accustomed to being praised for its cuteness since childhood

Thus, Masuo sat down obediently like a well-behaved child, for the elderly man before him had a white beard and wise, kind blue eyes. The kitten had already recognized his identity—Herman Cain, an elder of the Arcane Brotherhood and one of the Seven Keys of the Mage Alliance. In the following five years, he, along with the other six legendary mages of the Seven Keys—Nute Kinrich, Tim Bolenti, Ricky Santom, Mitty Romney, Michelle Bachman, and Ruan Pao (Chang Tangren)—would be known as the Seven Legends of the Brotherhood.

In the previous life, the kitten did not choose to inherit its bloodline, as it was still harboring resentment towards its own lineage due to its father's act of "abandoning wife and children". However, the current kitten has long since relinquished its initial disdain for its own bloodline

When creating a character, players can increase a certain base attribute by a maximum of 12 points, but this requires a purchase cost that is astronomical in nature. Therefore, Masuo ultimately decided on his attribute points as follows: Strength 8 (costing 4 purchase points) / Agility 12 (costing 2 purchase points) / Constitution 12 (costing 6 purchase points) / Intelligence 6 (not spent) / Perception 24 (costing 16 purchase points) / Charisma 18 (costing 4 purchase points)

After this, for every five levels, Maso will also gain 7 skill points, which he can use automatically

Next, Agility 10 (Dear player, you possess divine power and mysterious energy within your bloodline that interact with your agility, making your agility 10) and as before, the kitten clearly has nothing to say

Let me see... um, according to the search, my child, I believe you have an extraordinary mother, her full name is Tidrella Su Dain, the great lord of the Storm Sea...'' The old man adjusted his small glasses on the bridge of his nose, raised his head, and raised an eyebrow at Masoy, ``... Masoy, I am very curious, with your lineage, why did you choose the Eastern Continent

Setting everything aside, the kitten begins to purchase points. This game employs a 32-point purchasing system. When increasing basic attributes by 1 to 6 points, each point requires only 1 purchasing point. However, for points 7 and 8, each point requires 2 purchasing points; for points 9 and 10, each point requires 3 purchasing points; and for points 11 and 12, each point requires 4 purchasing points. For example, if Maso's strength is 4, increasing it to 10 points requires 6 purchasing points (as this is exactly an increase of 6 points). Increasing it to 12 points requires 6 + 4 (2X2) purchasing points, and increasing it to 14 points requires 6 + 4 + 6 (3X2) purchasing points. Furthermore, increasing it to 16 points would require 6 + 4 + 6 + 8 (4X2) purchasing points.

"Divine Nature": Due to your bloodline, the amount of experience required to level up increases by 30%.

At this moment, the time on the screen changed from 23:59, marking the end of January 2297 and the arrival of February 1, coinciding with the Lunar New Year. Attention was drawn back from the fireworks display outside... I remembered the promise made by the two young ladies five years ago during last night's dinner regarding the Masso... I picked up the gaming headset from the bedside and firmly placed it on my head.

After completing all the selections, Masuo chose his birthplace on the virtual screen—Ashubi in the Paronster region, Paronster City

Excluding those role players, such top-notch actors were not uncommon in their previous lives. Of course, the greatest charm of this game lies in the freedom of role-playing that players enjoy. Players can fight for their beliefs and desires, can be the savior of this world, can remain neutral amidst worldly conflicts, or can play the role of the grave digger of the entire plane

Immature

Maso was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at his specialization panel, and his expression immediately became exceptionally brilliant

Welcome to the Tower of Wisdom Library, child. This is a reception station for outsiders like you. Please sit down and talk to me." The old master pointed to the long bench in front of him.

Grandmother taught the archery skills passed down from her family to the kitten from a young age. As a result, when the kitten turned thirteen, it unexpectedly won first place in the U14 disabled category at the Federal Olympics—something the kitten had never even imagined it could achieve.

The Tiflin catfolk are beings from the extraterrestrial civilization of Longerxi in another galaxy. They resemble humans but possess cat ears and long tails. Adult catfolk, regardless of gender, often have delicate and charming appearances, with male catfolk typically standing around 1.4 meters tall. Masuo is currently exactly 20 years old, and as a mixed-blood, he is still considered a minor in the Federation. Masuo does not know his father's age, but he once heard his drunken mother mention something about "eating tender grass".

In the game, if a shaman wishes to cast spells extensively, they require high perception and charisma; at the same time, if a shaman wants to possess melee capabilities, they also need a certain level of strength, constitution, and agility, otherwise, they will not survive in the close-quarters combat of flashing blades. The shaman is a combination of a spellcaster and a melee class, and their divine magic system is quite similar to that of druids. Additionally, shamans who worship Pain Beisades are proficient in polearms, two-handed hammers, one-handed hammers, crossbows, bows, flails, and shields.

Subsequently, Masuo chose his equipment—shield claws and a lightweight spiked mace. The basic armor for the catfolk shaman is a leather robe, which Masuo decided not to change. In terms of skills, the shaman uses perception instead of intelligence. With an adjustment value of 7, Masuo allocated his 28 skill points into survival (perception), concentration (constitution), spell identification (intelligence), tumbling (dexterity), climbing (dexterity), stealth (dexterity), and scouting (perception), with each skill receiving 4 points.

Oh... Masuo felt somewhat embarrassed about his poor performance during this impromptu situation. The cat cub that had flopped opened his attribute panel—Masuo had the bloodline of a cat person in reality, so in this game, his race was that of a cat person. Although he had half human blood from Earth, he still retained the appearance of a cat person in the game—after all, in reality, he had cat ears, a long tail, and a small stature, which were unchangeable and could not be altered.

"Very good, child, can you tell me about your skill points allocation and equipment choices?" Hermann had a benevolent expression typical of an elder.

That was a very beautiful memory, filled with the carefree innocence of childhood and the sweetness of dried fish, devoid of the current uncertainties about the future and the insecurities stemming from within oneself—Maso, a patient with a genetic disorder who has been unable to walk since childhood, could only gaze out the window.

"Little fellow, I am Hermann Cain. Could you share your perspective on life with an old man like me..." The elderly man, wearing a white robe and a pointed mage's hat, raised his head at this point. He glanced at Maso's cat ears and then continued to ask, "Of course, what I mean is—what kind of person do you wish to become in our world? After all, things are quite busy now. If you choose a faction that I do not particularly favor, I can send you to another reception station sooner. You must understand that even races like the green-skinned goblins have the saying that time is money."

With a strength of 8, and an additional +4 from the power of a mighty bull, it is sufficient for the kitten to wield its most proficient composite bow and the specialized pulley bow for later engineering. If further blessings are added (such as the spell of giant transformation), it is possible that under specific circumstances, even a longbow could be handled.

Setting aside the resentment towards physical constitution, the cat cub looked towards Intelligence 6 (Dear player, your bloodline possesses a mysterious power that completely suppresses divine power in terms of intelligence... how unfortunate): Well, a cat person's 6 points of intelligence is equivalent to an average human's 8 points of intelligence. In the terminology of players, having 6 or 8 intelligence is not a big deal; it just means a bit of a natural inclination. As for whether one is naturally silly or naturally dark, that varies from person to person. A cat person's 6 points of intelligence is equivalent to an average human's 8 points of intelligence.

In this world, shamans once believed in spirit souls, but when a neutral and benevolent shaman became a deity, the benevolent faction and some neutral shamans began to worship this deity, while a portion of neutral and evil shamans continued to believe in the spirit souls they cherished

... ...

In light of this, he has no reason to resent the father who abandoned him, nor can he blame the mother who raised him. Feeling helpless, the boy with a cat's tail went through a period of despondency, but that is now a thing of the past. The current Masuo is no longer the ignorant boy of sixteen who howled at the moon in the middle of the night, waking countless innocent neighbors. After all, although his mother had her faults, Masuo believes she fulfilled her duties as a mother quite perfectly.

Next is Perception 14 (Dear player, the mysterious power in your bloodline has completely suppressed the divine power in terms of perception, but because of this, your perception has a score of 14... Can I say congratulations? )... Well, the quietly wealthy kitten cast aside a hundred thousand questions and looked towards the final charm

"My name is Masuo, and I have a bloodline inheritance," Masuo said. He had heard that his mother had also played this game when she was young—of course, that was during the fourth open beta. Nowadays, the real-name registration system for online game accounts is much stricter than in the past. He carries his mother's blood, and he should inherit his mother's surname in the game. "My mother had a name called Tidrella; she said she was once a pirate." The current real-name registration system for online game accounts is much stricter than in the past. He carries his mother's blood, and he should inherit his mother's surname in the game. "My mother had a name called Tidrella; she said she was once a pirate."

The cheerful kitten completed the distribution of the remaining points, clicked to confirm, and smiled while nodding at Lord Herman Cain: "Elder, I have made my choice"

However, when the kitten saw its brand new basic attribute panel, it couldn't help but gasp. In its previous life, the kitten's basic attributes were Strength 6 / Agility 10 (10 for human hybrids, 12 for pure kittens) / Constitution 6 (6 for human hybrids, 4 for pure kittens) / Intelligence 8 / Perception 12 / Charisma 8 (8 for human hybrids, 6 for pure kittens). (It is important to note that in the game, only pure humans have a uniform basic attribute of 8 points; other races and hybrids have their own race-modified basic attributes.)

The shaman who believes in this shamanic deity acquires divine powers akin to those of a priest, while the shaman who believes in the spirit essence obtains divine powers more similarly to a druid, drawing from the spirit essence and nature.

At that time, I was still young, only harboring resentment towards my father who abandoned me and my mother. As I grew older, I began to understand the core meaning of tender grass, and I couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed about the resentment I once held towards my father, for it occurred to me that the father I had resented was also a victim in his own right

Very well, Masso Su, welcome to this magical land for you outsiders, child. Today is the early spring of March in the year ST1845. As you walk in a world filled with blooming flowers, be careful to avoid major mistakes. After Old Herman finished speaking, Masso's gaze was once again enveloped by a white, non-dazzling light

Agility 12, similarly without issue, an agility of 12 is sufficient for the kitten to run swiftly, at least in the early stages, most of the unfortunate individuals among half of the professions cannot match the speed of the kitten

"I want to be a person who lives for myself and also allows others to live," Masuo said with a smile, expressing his choice. This is a choice aligned with a neutral yet compassionate and kind faction, very suitable for those who choose to believe in a neutral good deity, such as a Shaman. Five years later, Masuo, in the Weeping Plains, is a level 130 Shaman. Any profession begins to strive for legendary status after reaching level 100, but achieving legendary status is not an easy task; luck, devotion, and effort are all essential.

In the face of such an individual, who is at least level 120, has mastery over level 9 spells, and is the author of at least eight legendary spells in the Aoki Spellbook, Masuo did not feel that there was anything wrong with his actions. After all, the being before him was a monster that even the most formidable assassins would find daunting, and it was wise to keep a low profile and prioritize safety above all else

My child, the blood coursing through your veins has already chosen a specialty for you

Thinking of this, Marso flicked his tail in boredom—indeed, Marso had a fluffy tail and a pair of cat ears. This was because his mother was a woman from Earth, while his father... Marso had no idea who his father was; he only knew that the one who had given him a pair of black cat ears and a long tail must have been a Tiefling cat person.

"Blood of Mystery": All your divine arts will have their effects increased by 25%

... ...

It is exactly the same as last time, gazing at such beautiful scenery, Masho softly sighed... What can be done? As the saying goes, since one has come, one should find peace. Why should I think about why I cannot return to the past? The disciplines involved in this matter are not less than eight hundred, if not a thousand. When the future of the past becomes the present of today, the kitten does not wish to kill too many brain cells pondering the reasons why.

The current kittens reside in the Huocui Village on Mars, which is a large antique-style inn opened by their grandmother.

Then there is Constitution 6 (Dear player, your bloodline possesses divine and mysterious powers that are in strong conflict with your Constitution, causing a severe impact on it. Your Constitution is only 6, so please take care of your waist during intimate activities) ... The little cat's heart is bleeding, Constitution 6, the system warns to be careful with the waist, meow! Grandpa Cat has finally obtained divine blood for protection, and not having Constitution 12 is already unfortunate, but this inexplicable strong conflict has halved it in an instant! ... The little cat's heart is bleeding, Constitution 6, the system warns to be careful with the waist, meow! Grandpa Cat has finally obtained divine blood for protection, and not having Constitution 12 is already unfortunate, but this inexplicable strong conflict has halved it in an instant!

Removing the training helmet, Masso leaned against the head of the bed and gazed out the window. Tonight is January 24, 2297, at 23:50. The midnight bell of the Lunar New Year is approaching. Masso does not need to see it with his own eyes; he knows that there must be a joyful crowd celebrating in the streets far away. When he was younger, he had been held by his mother to participate in the Lunar New Year festivities. The young version of himself was always attracted by the smell of grilled fish, and he would plead with his mother to buy him a skewer.

Very well, child, you have yet to tell me your surname and your lineage

As the white light of logging into the game gradually faded, Masuo found himself standing in a vast library, where an elderly man dressed in a white wizard's robe and pointed hat stood before him, with a long table and two wooden chairs facing each other between them.

Someone once said that if one could have a completely new life, one would naturally embark on an entirely new path, erasing all past misfortunes and compensating for all regrets. The kitten lightly parted its lips and softly spat out a sound—such a person, not having a limp, would naturally not understand the suffering of a limping cat, nor would they comprehend the amount of bitterness and pain that a limping kitten endures while trying to climb up.

Paronster ... ... I have returned again

As the white light dissipated once more, Marso stepped out of the teleportation array. The gray-robed catfolk shaman stretched his arms, and the equipped flying claw served as a shield for him. A lightweight warhammer hung from the belt buckle.

Everywhere on the street, there are NPC pedestrians and players. Glancing at the distant hilltop where the Paronster Holy Church stands alongside the enormous World Tree that nearly obscures the entire sky of the inner city, Masora, a little cat-like shaman, sighed with a mix of sadness and helplessness, pulling up the hood of her fur robe adorned with a leopard totem.

The night sky outside is filled with fireworks blooming, adorning the lunar craters at midnight as if it were broad daylight

Well, this is clearly the good and bad that comes from the bloodline of one's own grandfather. No matter how helpless the kitten may feel, it can only accept it all.

This is a choice of faction, and Masuo certainly knows how to choose—within this vast game world, there are four continents. Although only two of them are currently open, there are still nearly ten nations and numerous races to choose from. However, the most important aspect is the distinction of factions. The opposition between gods extends into this primary material world, where good opposes evil, order opposes chaos, the unruly plunge into chaos, and the law-abiding adhere to order. Every word and action of the players can lead to deviations in their own faction alignment. No one wants to create trouble for themselves, thus it is crucial to choose a profession and faction that align with one's personality.

Well, the complaints are over. After adding and subtracting, Maso's final basic attributes are: Strength 8 / Agility 12 / Constitution 12 / Intelligence 6 / Perception 24 / Charisma 18. For a catfolk shaman, a Perception of 24 is a foundational statistic that many other races' priests and paladins cannot reach before level 100. It is important to remember that this is not the so-called data stream games of the fourth generation of virtual reality, where attribute points are sold wholesale like salmon. In this game world, every attribute point is extremely precious. A Perception of 24 is a foundational statistic that many other races' priests and paladins cannot reach before level 100.
