Chapter 3: Multi-dimensional Races and Occupations
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
William Blackleaf was thinking about the future and dreaming about reaching the top of the social pyramid...
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him.
He turned around and saw long, beautiful legs, a slender waist, and well-endowed breasts...
It was an extremely pretty and dignified pure-blooded female Elf.
It was easy to differentiate between pure-blooded and non-pure-blooded Elves, from their hair color and pupils.
Ever since the Gods had fought in the world, it had been split into nine different continents. Now, he was at the Legendary continent. There were a few Elfin tribes amongst the pure-blooded Elves in the Legendary continent, however, their hair colors were all the same. So was the color of their eyes and hair.
As for half-blooded Elves, they were a little awkward...
It was highly possible to have more than one color on their hair. It was possible for their pupils to be one yellow and one green. This was one of the many reasons why the pure-blooded Elves couldn’t accept the half-blooded Elves.
After all, according to what the players said, the half-blooded Elves have pulled down the overall beauty of the pure-blooded Elves and this was something that could not be forgiven.
What was fortunate was that William’s Legendary Father’s bloodline was powerful. It was comparable to his Mother’s, resulting in him looking no different from the other pure-blooded Elves.
“Lord, I heard you’ve woken, so I came to visit you!” A soft, soulful voice trailed over. William acted patiently, “Sia, you don’t have to call me Lord. I’m fine, just that my head still hurts a little and I can’t remember much anymore.”
“It’s good if my Lord is fine. However, you should still drink this.” The tall Sia spoke to him with a poker face, as she simply passed him a small jade-green bottle.
William took it, and the item’s information appeared immediately. It took a lot of self-constraint to hide his excitement, as he said in confusion, “What is this?”
“Life potion. Ever since I found out you fainted when falling from the tree...” At this point, Sia couldn’t help but take in a deep breath.
After all, no matter if they were full-blooded or half-blooded Elves, it was extremely humiliating to fall from a tree and he had been unconscious for many consecutive days...
However, she couldn’t help but continue saying, “Ever since you fell, we got a mage to check on you. Your conscious seems to have been messed up.
“Lautner rushed hurriedly towards the Dark Night City and got the saint item from your Mother. He has just returned, and even though you’re awake now, you should still drink this saint item since we have it.”
William hesitated a little before he nodded firmly. “Help me thank Lautner. I’ll go visit him personally.”
“Alright, I’ll leave now. It has been quiet in the territory recently, so my Lord can rest for a few more days!”
“Thank you!” William said as he stared at the Life Potion he was holding.

However...
The arrogant Sia had already turned and left, ignoring her half Elfin Lord.
Supposedly, after he woke up, such rare saint items shouldn’t be given to him. However, Sia had still given it to him. This at least meant that these people were loyal to him.
Even though she didn’t really respect him on the outside, she was still loyal to him.
William knew that these pure-blooded Elfin guards had continued to accompany their stupid Lord to death in his previous life.
“It’s a leadership problem. Let’s settle that later. This is not something that can be solved using my endowment!” William Blackleaf sighed, raising his hand up to look at the small bottle.
Life Potion.
Level: Legendary
Amount: 10 Drops
Use: 1 drop can immediately recover all negative Buffs. 2 drops can immediately recover all health points. 3 drops can make broken limbs regrow.
The more Life potion was used the larger its effects. It was even able to results in a certain chance of coming back to life, though its limit was10 drops.
Special effect: 1 drop of Life Potion can extend your life by 100 years.
Special effect: 1 drop of Life Potion can increase 5 points to all attributes, the max at 10 drops.
Special effect: 1 drop of Life Potion can increase health points by 100 points, the max at 10 drops.
Limitation: After using 10 drops, there will not be any more special effects.
It was a good item.
Without a doubt, this was a treasure that belonged to the Elves. It was even more precious than Legendary equipment.
“The William back then probably used this to wake up!” William Blackleaf suddenly furrowed his eyebrows. “However, after I was reborn, I got so few memories of this body. This idiot might have gotten someone to kill his soul beforehand. If not, falling from the tree wasn’t really fitting for his half Elfin status.
“It was a common saying that newborn monkeys knew how to climb trees and three-year-old Elves were able to catch birds.
“Half-blooded Elfins were only a little weaker than pure-blooded ones. With our agility levels, it would be impossible for us to fall from a tree. Did someone try to kill me?”
He stood up immediately, his expression a little pale as he couldn’t help but mutter, “Since William from the previous life almost died, we managed to avoid the catastrophe ultimately and the assassinations seemed to have stopped, so I won’t be in too much danger for the time being. Now, the most important thing to do is to build up my capability. Making myself quickly grow up is the key factor!”
As for who was killing him...
How that person had assassinated him, William couldn’t work that out now. It was easy to talk about killing a soul quietly, but it was extremely hard to do.
That person was at least of the middle levels, or it could have been done by a high leveled NPC personally...
The scope was too broad right now, so he couldn’t determine exactly who it was. It may have been those mysterious strong witches and mages, or if other occupations had some special skills, they might have been able to do it too.
Who would kill him?
Why did that person kill him?
Were there any benefits from killing him?
“Half-blooded Elfin, the Blackleaf Elves’ Royal family or my Father’s enemies?” William Blackleaf shook his head. The scope was still too large.
The Blackleaf Elves’ Royal family might not have done this.
Firstly, this group of arrogant Elves rarely stooped to assassinations.
Secondly, if they had really wanted to kill him to prove the pureness of their Royal blood, they didn’t have to wait until now. After all, he had grown up in the Dark Night City. There had been many chances for him to be in an ‘accident’.
Thirdly, there was even less of a need for them to give him the 10 drops of Life Potion and give him the chance to come back to life. Especially since his mother wasn’t capable enough to own 10 drops of Life Potion herself. Since the World Tree had been hit, Elfin Royal family members only had a little Life Potion left. They would fight to hide it, so why would they give it to others so easily?
“I don’t know how much my mother, whose name I’ve forgotten, had sacrificed in order to get the Life Potion...” William’s head hurt a little.
Maybe this was the reason the Blackleaf Elves had never aided him even if he had died in so many messy wars.
Maybe the 10 drops of extremely precious Life Potion, that were able to make someone come back to life, was his Mother’s last present to him.
“I’m thinking too much. The most important thing is that I take the chance to level up now. I’m the Lord, right? Then, according to the Lord’s ways, apart from fighting monsters and doing missions, I can also level up by completing Lord missions?” At this thought, William couldn’t help but giggle.
Gods was a little different from other normal games.
It was okay for players to want to conquer the world.
However...
The smaller nations in the Legendary continent were extremely complicated. Even if it were only the main missions each small nation had, normal players couldn’t come into contact with them easily.
When it first started, the players were merely small nothings in the game and they could rarely make a big difference. That was the reason they could only slowly gain experience on the outside. They would definitely die from the power of both sides if they went into politics!
Fortunately, there were some extremely lucky players that were able to work for the main characters of some versions. However, such players were extremely rare and it was still hard for them to make a difference.
If the players were given a nation to control, without years of development, they would be destroyed by the various lawless NPCs. The NPCs might even take all of their wealth at the same time.
That was why some of the ambitious guilds, clubs and professional players were defeated and ashen when they finally rose to the ranks. They ended up having to follow the NPCs to live. If there wasn’t any sign of an NPC’s strength on them, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they were hacked to death during a trip out.
Wanting to develop the character alone was real sadness. They should at least join a mercenary team led by an NPC, right?
If not, no matter how strong the player was, would they be willing to become the shield of other players?
It was very obvious.
It was impossible.
NPCs were the real bosses...
Although players could level up without a limit, and could even have weird endowments, they still wouldn’t be able to own any Bloodline additions no matter what level they were. Their endowments were often weaker than the NPCs, which was also why the players couldn’t be too arrogant even in the later parts of the game.
Besides, the NPC’s levels didn’t change with the players’ level-ups either. They had their individual levels, so their ability grew as new versions of the game were released.
As for how to ensure the players did not meet NPCs whose levels were too high...
That was naturally achieved by throwing them into the territory of a Duke or Lord.
Because the power and level followed this ranking: Empire, Kingdom, Grand Duchy, and Dukedom.
Border Lords like William belonged to the neutral camp. Some of such territories were large, and some were small.
Strong Lords could even hold a power that was equivalent to that of kingdoms, while the weaker ones were like border towns...
Human nations were the bright camps!
Were there people who chose Orcs?
The game didn’t let players choose unique non-human characters, with the reason that it would influence the player’s mind and could easily cause social unrest. That was because Orcs ate anything. They would eat happily even if they were eating intelligent beings.
Someone had once used disguise skills to hide amongst the Orcs. In the end, he saw them eat live humans and exposed his identity in disgust. Before he could kill himself, several buff Orcs bit him several times. He died terribly and his gaming experience was extremely bad as he almost quit the game!
Anyways, for the players, the early parts of the game would be over quickly...
There were many races the players could choose...
There were humans, Elves, half-blooded Elves, the Winged people, Dwarfs, and Gnomes!
Humans, Elves, half-blooded Elves, and the Winged people were the most popular choices.
Dwarfs and Gnomes were the smaller characters...
Geniuses who would choose these two races basically ignored appearances and had extremely strong hearts. They also had a good sense of scientific research and exploration ambitions. They were the pillars of a nation, the role models of the players and were so rare they were comparable to the amount of Legendary equipment present.
After all, in Gods, every emotion and feeling was the same as in the real world. Rarely anyone was so crazy to be like that...
For Gods, there were only a few races to choose from at the start. However, there were many various occupations.
Fighting Branch: Warrior, Knight, Rangers, Hunters, Assassins, Snipers and many more. This excluded those various hidden occupations.
Mage Branch: Warlock, Mage, Priest, Sorcerers, Summoners, Druids and many more.
Every occupation had their small specializations, for example, warriors had armors, knives, twin swords, witch bladers and many more...
Every race also had a special occupation as well.
One example was the Temple Knights. It was exclusive to humans and a player would have to be part of the Bright Temples...
The Holy Angels were obviously something only for the Winged people.
However...
Although the Winged people were considered to have long lives, the pair of small wings players had at first wouldn’t let them stay three centimeters above the ground, even if they broke the wings. Once the Winged players knew how to fly, players of other races also had their own ways to fly, just that their agility and speed were incomparable to the Winged people.
During the later parts of the game, after the players had experienced too many things, if they were able to get the chance, they might not stay as a human-formed being.
“The Legendary Feelers...” William couldn’t help but shiver as a chill ran up his spine when he thought of this, shaking his head hurriedly.
