Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 143: Which Class?

The young man stared at the shard in front of him, feeling an immense sense of confusion.

This necklace had been left by his parents after they passed away, which is why he always kept it close to him.

However, he never imagined that inside the necklace there would be such a strange shard.

At this moment, a small amount of his blood was still on the shard, but it quickly absorbed all of it.

Then, the shard flew into the center of his forehead, completely merging with his body.

The young man jolted, quickly reaching up to touch his forehead, but there was no trace left as if nothing had happened at all.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired a new innate talent - Permanent Buff (SS+)]

The young man looked at the notification, feeling bewildered.

Before he could process what was happening, the Pixie flew toward his arm, trying to use healing magic on his wound.

The young man saw the Pixie working and could only sigh, saying, "It's useless, it will… What?!"

He suddenly jumped in surprise as a new notification appeared in front of him.

[Ding! You have received healing magic. Due to the effect of the innate talent 'Permanent Buff,' the healing magic will have permanent effects on your body.]

The young man opened his mouth in disbelief, his face full of shock.

What was even more unbelievable was that when the Pixie was exhausted and unable to cast healing magic anymore, the wound on his arm began healing by itself.

Though the healing was slow, it was enough to prove that the system's notification was correct.

"SS+ innate talent, hahaha… hahahaha…" The young man suddenly laughed wildly and joyously, "Fate doesn't want me to die! Hahahaha…"

[Ding! Congratulations, Lord ??? Rank F Level 3 is the first to pass through Challenge Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower.]

At that moment, another notification appeared in front of him, showing up three times and forcing him to pay attention.

However, the young man only glanced at the notification momentarily before dismissing it.

"Huh! So what if I passed Floor 10? I'm the one chosen by fate," he said, smiling confidently. "Permanent Buff: as long as I receive any beneficial buff, I can turn it into a permanent one."

"Hahahaha... Mom and Dad, thank you for the gift you left behind. I won't disappoint you."

...

Back to Noan.

At this moment, seeing the notification, he didn't pay much attention to it.

He sat on the ground, panting heavily, sweat soaking through his clothes.

Luckily... he had won.

Luckily, he hadn't gone for Kotarok but instead used the Abyss Cube to stop the Black Dragon's mouth, preventing it from firing that terrifying fireball.

From then on, the fireball in its mouth became something that would kill it.

Noan took a long breath. He thought he was perhaps the only Lord who could pass this Floor 10 challenge.

After all, Lords from Level 3 and below were no different from ordinary people—how could they face Kotarok and the Black Dragon?

No! Noan thought again and realized he was wrong.

Why?

Because in this world, there were Fate Holders. A prime example was Alex.

If Alex continued absorbing energy crystals and growing stronger, he would certainly be able to pass Floor 10.

Of course, that was assuming Alex could survive Floors 1 to 9.

However, Alex would most likely make it. After all, he was a Fate Holder, or more accurately, a protagonist of this world.

And the protagonist, of course, could do things ordinary people couldn't.

As for Noan?

He didn't think of himself as the protagonist, even though he was. Even if he were the protagonist, he didn't want to reveal his identity actively.

This was the real world, and he wasn't sure he would be as lucky as the other Fate Holders.

Moreover, he didn't know if, after his death, he would be reincarnated into another world again or if this would be his final life.

Because of that, he had to act extremely carefully. Otherwise, other Fate Holders might still kill him even if he possessed the unique SSS talent.

[Ding! You have received a reward - Legendary Class Chest for passing through Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower.]

[Ding! Because you've continuously set new records, the system rewards you with an Upgrade Card Medal 'Ultimate Challenge' x2.]

[Ding! As the first person to pass through Floor 10, an additional reward is granted: You have the right to choose a Legendary Class.]

Noan saw the three notifications appear. While he felt immense joy in his heart, he couldn't bring himself to react.

His energy was nearly exhausted, his body fatigued, and his breath came in sharp gasps.

After a moment, as his breathing began to steady, he reread the notifications.

"What does Legendary Class mean?"

[Ding! Classes are divided into ranks, just like regular ones. Legendary Classes have a rank similar to SS+.]

"What? SS+, are you serious?" Noan asked in surprise, repeating the question.

The system didn't respond, but he knew it wouldn't deceive him.

Noan recalled that someone had once possessed a Class rank SS+—but that was 200 years ago.

That person was like a mystery, with no explanation given. They appeared for only a year, wiped out nearly all the monsters in the Black Sea, and then vanished without leaving any trace.

Now, Noan could have a Class rank SS+, which, considering the current time, might be the highest rank that had ever appeared.

The joy came so quickly that Noan lost a bit of composure.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then opened his 'Storage Space.' His gaze focused on the chest emitting a dazzling multicolored glow along with two small upgrade cards.

"Use the upgrade cards for the 'Ultimate Challenge Medal.'"

[Ding! Are you sure you want to use both 'Ultimate Challenge Medal' upgrade cards?]

"Accept!"

[Ding! Upgrade successful.]

...

**Ultimate Challenge Medal**

Rank: ???

Level: 03

Description 1: Reduces the strength and defensive capabilities of monsters by 90%; this reduction gradually diminishes against monsters of a higher level than you.

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

For each higher level or rank than you, the effect reduces by 5%.

Description 2: When facing monsters of a higher level or rank than you, this medal will activate a special effect, granting you a 5% chance to instantly eliminate that monster. (This effect can only be activated once per monster.)

Note: Only effective in challenge events. Placing it in the 'Storage Space' still allows its effects to be activated.

...

Although the effect of the 'Ultimate Challenge Medal' had increased to a level that seemed unbelievable, the biggest limitation was that its beneficial effect only existed within challenge events.

Noan shook his head, clearing his thoughts. He knew that if the effects of this medal applied in reality, he would likely become invincible, not even needing his SSS talent anymore.

He continued to gaze at the chest before him, which was still glowing with the multicolored light, and immediately gave the command: "Open the chest."

[Ding! Currently, you cannot open this chest without choosing your Class.]

Noan responded, "Then choose my Class first."

[Ding! You have the right to choose a Legendary Class, please select the Class you desire.]

Soon after, another notification appeared in front of him, showing four types of Classes to choose from.

Combat, Support, Construction, and Traveler.

Noan immediately dismissed the Traveler Class.

Why?

Because when a Lord chose this Class, they no longer remained a Lord.

They would no longer be tied to a territory and could wander freely.

However, choosing this Class meant that they could no longer summon heroes and soldiers since they lost their domain. Instead, they would develop their own strength.

While the development space wasn't large, it was the best choice for those who had lost their domain or for lower-ranked Lords.

After all, lower-ranked Lords, even if they continued to develop, would still face limits, but with this Class, those limits could be broken.
