Cedric whistled upon seeing the numerous system alerts swimming in his vision.

He certainly wasn't expecting that a development like this would happen just because he broke through the 2nd Stage of his [White Lotus Core Technique].

It was a pleasant surprise though, if only a little bit embarrassing since he had to explain to the Hotel Staff what happened to him. Thankfully, they bought his lousy excuse; saying that the reason behind him losing consciousness was because he just pushed himself a little too hard.

Still, with these changes, Cedric could feel the absurd difference between him and the common people around him.

From his perception, he's surrounded by Tier 2's at most, they're strong but he could confidently say that he could reduce them into a bloody mist with a single punch.

Yes, it's that absurd...

His field of senses expanded to a kilometer radius around him comfortably, meaning that he could maintain it just like this without feeling any strain whatsoever. If he pushes himself? He could cover half of the city under his surveillance.

His adaptability shot through the roof thanks to the 『Superhuman Physique』. Hell, with his EX-Ranked Aptitude? He might even be able to contend with common Tier 5s for a minute or two.

'The class slots saved my problems too.' Cedric inwardly cheered.

While he wasn't expecting to be rewarded with this achievement, no one would hear him complaining.

Having an additional Class allows him to deceive demons more effectively. He can essentially create an Alter Persona out of it, and best believe that he would abuse the heck out of it.

Earning a Sub-Class was good too. With his learning speed explosively raised with the recent additions to his Profile, this should provide him with sufficient distraction to get rid of his boredom.

'Stil...[Son of Heaven] huh?' He pondered inwardly.

He could honestly say that he doesn't know what to feel about this title. He would even go as far as saying that he probably doesn't deserve to be called as such...

'How can an ex-convict like me deserve such a title?' He scoffed inwardly, 'If I were to reveal this to the world, they might kill me and call me a heretic.'

Still, though, this title has been given to him by Acala herself. It seems that the consciousness of the world couldn't care less about its natives' opinions.

'In hindsight, at least my information is more secure thanks to this title.' He continued, 'A Lv.8 System Authority puts me at the same level as the Royal Lineage or Governors.'

This essentially means that Acala will now do her best to protect him since he's considered as an important piece in the grand scheme of things. She will go as far as forging his documents comprehensively just to shield him from prying eyes.

With this protection and Cedric's cautious nature, he could take his time and develop his skills. As for what he might do in the future, well...Cedric's still figuring that out, but of course, Acala wouldn't dare to directly interfere with how he lives his life.

That...and access to more information is what Cedric liked with this increased authority. He's thankful for it since it protects him.

Once he was done cleaning himself, he stood in front of the mirror to see the changes that happened to him.

"Geez..." he laughed mirthlessly.

Cedric was already handsome before but now, this is just pushing it...

When people talk about the body of a Greek God, they're talking about his body. His sheer beauty was enhanced sharply after his evolution. He's taller, inherently charming and seductive, and extremely strong. Truly, he became one of a kind.

Shaking his head, he stepped out of the bath and changed into a more comfortable set of clothes. He then opened his inventory whilst drying his hair, after which, he used the 2nd Class Card Slot.

[Alert! "2nd Class Card Slot (Legend)", used!]

[Congratulations! You may now pick a class amongst the ff:...]

A long Class List appeared before him, catching him by surprise.

"It's letting me pick?" He murmured softly. "Huh, I guess that's why it's the legendary rarity."

The item's rarity wasn't limited to letting him pick a 2nd Class from himself, it also included a broad range of Class Rarity for him to choose from.

His Main Class: Swordsman, was of the Common Tier. It's not bad but not so good either. During his Awakening Ceremony, this class was automatically assigned to him.

Now, he could choose something for his 2nd Class. And if he were to be honest, it's a little overwhelming.

Still, he took his time to analyze each one. Thankfully, he could read fast and had a sharp memory. It also helped that the System allowed him to eliminate others that he's not interested in.

Still, with how many there were on that list, it took him 30 minutes to pick. Even then, he had more than one to choose from, so he still needed some deliberation.

'Damn...this is difficult.' He grumbled inwardly.

He almost preferred that he be assigned a class instead of choosing one. But of course, he still did his best to weigh the pros and cons of each class he was interested in.

Ultimately, he made his choice. And he picked:

*

『Demon Slayer (T1-Legend)』

: This class revolves around hunting and slaying demons until there's none of them left. By choosing this class, you are painting a target to your back because Demons will sense the oozing blood of their kind at your hands. You will incur their hatred, but past that hate lies fear...they will be afraid of you.

: Skills Unlocked - 『Demon Lore』, 『Slayer's Mark』, 『Corruption Resistance』.

*

Choosing this class might appear somewhat contradictory to his plans since he wanted to avoid their attention yet he chose a class that's specifically geared to get their attention. Still, nobody could deny that this Class was just too good to pass.

『Demon Lore』 - grants him access to Acala's Demon Database, albeit limited with his Tier. What makes them strong, their weaknesses, their tendencies, their preferred lairs, etc? Cedric could study them directly from that source, meaning that the value of this skill was immeasurable.

『Slayer's Mark』 - was a passive skill that gives him bonus stats depending on how many demons he killed so far. At base, he receives a 5% Buff whenever he's facing any type of demons. This skill will level up the more demons he kills so that buff will increase as well.

And finally, the 『Corruption Resistance』 - the skill gives him a flat -10% Chance of being Corrupted when he comes in contact with Demonic Corruption.

And while he's at it, he also used the Sub-Class Card Slot. While it is not of Legendary rarity, the item still allowed him to pick his Sub-Class. The list was quite long. He saw lists of common occupations and those he had never seen nor heard of before.

Eventually, he made his choice...

He picked the [Scribe], which dabbles with Inscriptions. He initially wanted to pick the [Smith] but he decided to let it go for now. He chose the Scribe since it will help him with his immediate problems.

And finally, since he had achieved his goal; with his Aptitude Ranking at EX-Rank, he could finally start leveling up.
