Kaiser of the New World (Ch 200+)

Chosen Class (266)

Kai wasn't sure how long had passed by the time he woke up, all he knew was that he was weaker now than before he went to sleep.

At least this time his soul hadn't been shattered, it was only that all of his stats were halved, this time for a little over four days.

It wasn't too bad thought. He and Cecilia were temporarily safe. They could take their time digging out of here.

What Kai was worried about though, was Petunia. The young girl was out there by herself and he wasn't sure how she would manage.

Well, not exactly by herself, she had Remy, and she also had Esurient as Kai hadn't recalled the blade so it could go out and protect Petunia while they were in here.

It wasn't exactly a bad situation, it was just that it would slow them down for a little while.

Sighing to himself, Kai cracked his neck and let his fingertip light up once more. He felt well refreshed after sleeping, albeit he was weaker, he didn't feel too bad.

And it was only after the cave was lit up in the dim violet light once more did Kai realise that Cecilia had woken up, and that she was staring directly at him, a sorry look in her eyes.

One that Kai wasn't exactly sure the meaning of?

"What... is it?"

Cecilia flinched, making Kai wonder why she hadn't been expecting him to ask her anything.

"I'm... sorry, for making you worry."

Kai sighed and lowered his head guiltily. There was no need for Cecilia to be apologising, he had gotten them into this mess by being cocky and overconfident. He had believed that just because the Polar Demon was a lower level than usual that it would be an easy fight.

The current situation was a result of that overconfident.

"There's no need for you to be apologising, you nearly died because of me. In fact, I would have died if it wasn't for you, if anything, I should be saying sorry to you and thanking you."

Cecilia bit her lower lip softly, her hands gripping onto the thick fabric of her winter coat.

"Yeah, but the only reason we ended up fighting that... thing was because you wanted me to reach level 10. And the only reason you got hurt in the first place is because you were trying to protect me."

Two very different sides of the same story, and yet Kai couldn't help but think that he was still the one in the wrong.

So he would have to figure out a way to make it up to her.

But that would have to go on hold, because now it was time for Cecilia to pick a class.

Well, and a skill, but a class selection was always cooler.

"So... What are you going to pick first?"

Cecilia looked up at Kai nervously, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her coat.

"I'm not sure, what do you think I should pick first?"

Shrugging in response, Kai answered the question as simply as he could.

"I picked my skill first because I thought that it could impact the options for my class. It didn't end up happening, but I just found picking the skill first to be more fun."

After closing his mouth, Kai realised that he had actually forgotten to ask about something that had happened a while back.

"Now that I think about it, I never actually asked you what skill you got at level five."
