Chapter 2- The Gifts of Duality

...

"The title dual pioneer allows you to gain an extra class. It will bourgeon your dual mind skill. The higher the level you reach, the more times you will be able to split your mind. The dual mind skill, will double every five levels. "

"Please state the parameters of your second class. This class must differ from your first class choice to avoid a class between abilities. You do not have a time limit due to your title as a pioneer."

"Hahaha!" Will laughed aloud.

His face contorted in hysteria and a tinge of insanity.

"If this is a dream, I never want to wake up!" Will thought to himself in excitement.

"Wait-"

Will knew that he needed to focus. He still didn't know what exactly was happening, but he knew that it was important and that he needed to focus.

"Water Meister –Humph!"

He scoffed at the thought of this class. It sounded weak, and nothing like a class that dealt with martial arts. Will was a bit irritated by this, but he was pleased with his title of Dual Pioneer. He chose his class and was awarded a title, now he had time to think. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the sidewalk.

Will thought "Hmm, something that has to do with swords –and Dao."

The Dao was still a confusing concept for Will. From what will understood about Daoism, it was about becoming one with nature, etcetera. He still had much to learn about Daoism. As a result of all of his research about eastern religions, mysticism, and Warcraft, Will created his own Dao, his own philosophical path to walk through life. He did mention the Dao when he was choosing his parameters. However, he could not fully elaborate on what he wanted, because of the time limit. Will couldn't ask for a class that had Dao in it. A Dao is something personal that each individual walks.

"Sigh –"

"I can't just ask for a Dao... So, I will ask for a class that will improve my mind and body! I just need to include the art of the sword." Will thought.

The title of Water Meister was important, because water is one of the five elements that are fundamental in Daoism. But, he now needed to think of a way to combine this power over water with the use of a sword. It took some time for Will to organize his thoughts once again. Then, he stood up and said,

"For my second class, I want a class that uses Mana and Qi. Qi must be the primary effector and Mana the second. The class must improve my physical and mental ability with the way of the sword; and it must increase my insights into whichever Dao I pursue.

The class should have some immunity to blade attacks and place a restriction on any being using a blade against me. This must increase as I grow in knowledge and wisdom in the way of the sword. The class should grant me knowledge on blade techniques. I want the class to have the strongest Mana and Qi development and refinement possible, specializing in the way of the sword. This must be compatible with my physique and improve my physical ability especially agility and endurance.

All that I have said must be passive and have the ability to grow with my level."

"Parameters accepted. Please wait. Due to the specific requirements stated, the system will take time to find a class that meets the parameters."

"It worked?" Will thought.

"I thought that it might not, because I was excessive. I don't even know if the system has anything to do with Daoism or something similar. I hope I didn't waste my time!"
