A new day had begun in Carne Village, and Rowan climbed out of the stable early.
This was Enri’s family stable.
There used to be a nag, but it was sold off, leaving the stable temporarily vacant.
Two days ago, she had found “Rowan” outside the village, so she let this fellow named “Rowan” stay there for the time being.
Although it was a stable, it had been cleaned very thoroughly, and there was no strange smell to be found.
Originally, the village chief didn’t really advise bringing back such an unknown individual.
His attire was very strange, and at a glance, he didn’t look like someone from the Kingdom; he might even be a bandit.
However, if he were left outside, he would likely be snatched away and eaten by monsters.
Enri couldn’t bring herself to be that cruel, so she let him stay in the stable for the time being.
But, Carne Village?
Enri?
The Re-Estize Kingdom, the nearby Tob Forest, and… his own status panel.
Rowan felt his scalp tingle.
He had inexplicably transmigrated into the world of the anime “OVERLORD,” and it was a physical transmigration at that.
This anime was quite interesting in the early stages, and Rowan had watched it several times, but it became increasingly anti-human as it went on.
Enri was currently in her early teens, which meant that in five years, the Ainz Ooal Gown would bring the Great Tomb of Nazarick and transmigrate into this world.
This world was closely linked to the large-scale online game “Overlord.” The protagonist was the guild master of a non-human guild in the game.
He didn’t log out on the day the game shut down, and as a result, he brought his guild, the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and transmigrated into this world.
Then, fully leveled, he brought along several max-level Floor Guardians and numerous high-level guild NPCs to sweep through this world.
Standing from the Ainz Ooal Gown’s perspective, it was indeed quite interesting; but if one stood from the perspective of the humans who were his opponents, it was a future filled with despair.
The Ainz Ooal Gown was not a kind character.
His subordinates were a bunch of monsters and demons who viewed humans as two-legged sheep.
If the Ainz Ooal Gown were a normal living being, that would be one thing—he would eventually die—but the Ainz Ooal Gown was an undead being; he would never die.
This world would fall into his eternal, despair-filled rule.
Despair; humanity had no hope whatsoever.
Humans were raised as two-legged sheep, and human skin was a material for making magic scrolls.
Humans who wandered into his territory had their bodies used as insect nests, their beliefs rewritten, their bodies dismembered, and even their vocal cords put to good use.
There, death was the best outcome.
As for the Holy Kingdom arc in the fourth season, it was even more unbearable to witness; Rowan couldn’t even bring himself to watch it.
Just thinking about it made one shudder.
If one were a demi-human, there might be a chance to join the other side, but for humans, it was absolutely impossible—especially for “special humans” who had transmigrated.
Once discovered, they would face terrible torture and interrogation.
Humans, especially those who had transmigrated, were naturally positioned on the opposite side of the Ainz Ooal Gown and his ilk.
The other side would never allow such unstable factors to exist.
Even if one wanted to run and hide, there was no way, because the other side would rule this world, and there was simply nowhere to hide.
However, there was not entirely no hope.
Rowan silently thought “Status” in his heart, and a player panel appeared before his eyes.
[Status Table] [Level: 1] [Class: Healer (Rare Lv1)] [Innate Ability: Class Evolver] [Justice Value: 0 (Neutral)] [HP: 5 (0.5%)] [MP: 5 (0.5%)] [Physical Attack: 5 (0.5%)] [Physical Defense: 5 (0.5%)] [Agility: 5 (0.5%)] [Magic Attack: 5 (0.5%)] [Magic Defense: 5 (0.5%)] [Overall Resistance: 0 (0%)] [Specialty: 0 (0%)] [Skill Points: 0] [Experience Bar: 0 / 100] [Passive Skill: Healing Storage (0 / 100)] [Active Skills: Optimization (3 times/day), Degradation (3 times/day)] [Class Evolver: When obtaining a class, you can choose to give up that class or choose to take a higher-level class derived from it, without needing the prerequisites for that class.] Coming from reality, Rowan had not played that game, but he still possessed a player template.
In this world, there were all sorts of strange classes, such as “Blacksmith,” “Pharmacist,” “Warrior,” and even “Prince” or “Princess” counted as classes.
Basically, every trade had a corresponding class.
Classes were divided into Common, Advanced, and Rare classes, and everyone could freely assign their own classes.
But that was in the game.
People in this other world couldn’t see the panel, so the class system was quite chaotic and completely randomized.
It would be a miracle if such random combinations were strong, so the combat power of humans in this world was generally very low.
Among them, the vast majority mastered Basic classes, while a small number of gifted individuals took on Advanced classes.
For example, the famous “Nail Clipper,” as one of the few experts in the Kingdom, had great potential and had also taken on the Advanced class “Sword Saint.” As for Rare classes, because the prerequisites were too numerous, very few people could achieve them.
Even the Ainz Ooal Gown had only taken on one Rare class, “Eclipse.” Only the Slane Theocracy’s Zesshi Zetsumei, and the hidden Platinum, among others, possessed Rare classes.
The attribute of Innate Ability was unique to this other world in the settings; it was an ability that didn’t exist in the game, similar to a talent.
He had both the game character’s panel and the other world’s Innate Ability; he really had the best of both worlds.
Besides, without some special ability, how could he possibly go up against the Great Tomb of Nazarick?
If he wanted to fight against the Great Tomb of Nazarick in the future, besides utilizing the resources of this world, he also needed to build a class structure far stronger than the Ainz Ooal Gown’s.
Character level and class level were two different things.
Player level was equal to the sum of class levels.
Only class levels could be raised; without a class, one couldn’t even raise their level.
However, when he first saw that his class was “Healer,” Rowan almost lost his composure.
Wasn’t this class the same as the protagonist’s in that anime that children shouldn’t watch?
And after checking the class’s abilities, well, good heavens, it really was that class.
Opening his class details interface, Rowan could see the specific information about this class.
[Healer: A special class that masters Optimization and Degradation.
Optimization consumes healing energy, and the higher the level, the more energy it consumes.
Degradation gains energy; the higher the level of the object being degraded, the more energy is gained.] [Rare Class Trait: All stats +20 for every level gained.] [Limit Break (Passive): Consumes a large amount of energy to allow others to break their limits.
The energy consumption value is 50 + the target’s current level * 2.
Requires Healer Lv1.] [Energy Expansion (Passive): Increases the maximum storage of energy.
The cap increases by 5 * character level.
Requires Healer Lv3.] [Overlimit Degradation (Active): Expands the range of the Degradation ability, degrading everything within a ten-meter radius, including intangible substances.
The higher the specialty, the larger the range.
Can be used once every 3 days.
Requires Healer Lv5.] The Healer class, along with his Innate Ability, Class Evolver—this was Rowan’s strongest trump card to fight against the Ainz Ooal Gown in the future.
The Healer class was not a class from this world but came from another world; the wielder was known as the “Stick Hero.” Hmm… although it wasn’t very proper, the class was still very powerful.
Although it was just barely dawn, the villagers had already begun to get up early to work.
When everyone saw Rowan, they nodded slightly, which counted as a greeting.
Although today was already the third day he had arrived here, everyone still held some wariness toward him.
In this village, the only one who completely trusted him was Enri.
The current General Enri was still a little girl in her early teens.
Although she was young, she already had to work.
Seeing Rowan, she greeted him: “Good morning, Rowan.
What are you planning to do today?
If you have nothing to do, do you want to come cut grass with me?” [Enri] [Level: 1] [Class: Farmer (Lv1)] [Justice Value: 50] [Innate Ability: None] Rowan looked over, and her status appeared before his eyes.
Such a young child had already taken on the Farmer class.
However, Farmer was a Basic class, and its stat bonuses were very poor, incomparable to a Rare class.
It provided absolutely no bonuses to combat either.
By the way, the cap for Basic classes was level fifteen.
Every level gained increased main stats by five points, while Advanced classes increased them by ten, and Rare classes increased all stats by ten.
It was just that the cap for Advanced classes was level ten, and the cap for Special classes was level five.
Among them, level 1 obtained when taking on a class had no stat bonuses.
Therefore, in the game, players could keep taking on classes; taking on one hundred classes would make them max level immediately.
It was just that such a character’s stats would be the same as level 0, possessing a bunch of passive skills and class skills in name only, unable to exert any combat power at all.
If Rowan wanted to, he could learn to do farm work with Enri, but he wasn’t willing.
What was the higher-level class for Farmer?
Advanced Farmer?
That didn’t sound like a class that could fight.
Rowan’s plan for himself was to focus on being a Magic Caster, with melee attacks as a supplement, and then take on one or two production classes.
He was not willing to let other messy classes pollute his class system.
“Good morning.
Hmm, I’ll pass on cutting grass.
I plan to go to the river outside to spear fish.
Does your family have a harpoon I could borrow?” “A harpoon?
Yes, we do.
But the fish in the river are very cunning and hard to catch.
Also, you must not go too far from the village.
There are terrifying monsters outside; only adventurers can deal with those scary guys.” Monsters, huh?
Rowan naturally knew.
Carne Village was very close to the Tob Forest, which was a paradise for monsters.
“It’s fine, I’ll just be at the village entrance; I won’t run far.” “Then wait a moment.” Enri said, running back into the house.
A moment later, she came out with a harpoon and a basket.
“You must be careful, okay?
If something goes wrong, run back immediately.” Enri’s little face was full of seriousness.
Rowan couldn’t help but laugh: “Of course, I’ll be careful.” What a worrisome little girl.
Rowan felt very fortunate that after he transmigrated, he was found by this kind little girl.
Not only did she save his life, but she also provided him with shelter.
