Chapter 3: Basic Skills, All Healing Types?!
After returning to the group and standing in place, Lin Han instinctively focused his gaze on the profession panel that appeared after his advancement. The profession panel was divided into two sections: attributes and skills.
【Name】: Lin Han
【Profession】: Life Sacrificer (Next stage at level 10, advancement condition: absorb an elemental source)
【Level】: First advancement, level 1
【Stamina】: 100
【Agility】: 30
【Magic】: 50
【Endurance】: 110
【Strength】: 120
After reading his attributes, Lin Han fell silent. Among the five attributes, three exceeded a hundred. Truth be told, his base stats far surpassed those of ordinary people. If he had awakened as a warrior, these starting attributes would have been extravagant beyond compare! Unfortunately, he was a mage-type profession, unable to engage in close combat.
Lin Han then shifted his gaze to the skill panel.
【Magic Suppression】: Unique talent, able to suppress magical elements within a 50-meter radius and convert them into his own magical power.
【Song of Healing】: Chanting the hymn of the Goddess of Life, releases a healing aura, infusing allies with new vitality and healing certain injuries.
【Song of Soul Summoning】: Chanting the hymn of the God of Death, releases a death aura, weakening enemies and randomly summoning an undead creature from beneath the earth.
【Song of Enchantment】: Chanting the hymn of the Fallen Goddess, releases a hypnotic aura, randomly inflicting blindness, sleep, madness, illusions, and other negative effects.
【Song of Blessing】: Chanting the hymn of the God of Chaos, releases a blessing aura, granting a random buff to allies.
???
One unique talent. Four starting inherited skills! The Life Sacrificer was indeed a hidden profession—just the initial skills alone numbered four! Typically, most professions at first advancement only received two skills.
But they were all support-type skills!
Lin Han let out a long sigh. He had thought there might be hope, but now, without teammates to cooperate, even leveling up would be a challenge.
“Lin Han!”
“Don’t lose heart!”
“In a few days, the major academies will come to Second High to recruit!”
“Your grades are good, keep working hard, and perhaps you’ll be admitted. Once you graduate, you can support monster hunters and make a living that way!”
At that moment, perhaps fearing Lin Han would become discouraged, Wang Qiang stepped forward to cheer him up.
“Mm!” Lin Han forced a smile and responded. Wang Qiang was right. In this world, defeating monsters would yield materials, equipment, or skill books. Supporting monster hunters was indeed a decent job.
“What a pity!”
“I’ll never be able to reach the second advancement!”
“After all, at level 10, I’ll need to find an elemental source. That’s practically a death sentence!”
In his heart, Lin Han sighed quietly. It was just as Director Wang Jian had said—the densest elemental sources were deep within the core regions when disasters struck. But at only level 10, he wouldn’t last even a second inside; he’d be crushed by the power of the calamity. Advancing to the second stage was impossible. The path of progression was hellish in difficulty!
“Damn it!”
“Other transmigrators start with golden cheats right away!”
“Why haven’t I seen even a trace of a cheat after ten years?!”
“Finally awakening a profession, and it’s a support role nobody wants!”
Others started with god-tier pets, top-tier family backgrounds, beauties flocking to them, and unbeatable gear recognizing them as masters. But for him? Not only was his family poor, but he was destined never to surpass the first advancement.
Lin Han truly refused to accept this fate. A deep sense of unwillingness welled in his heart. He hated himself—hated that he had awakened such a useless hidden support profession. It might have been better to have an ordinary life profession!
【Ding!】
【Detected host in confusion. System mentor now online!】
【Ten-thousand-fold Amplification System activated!】
???
A system! Lin Han’s body jolted. As a veteran reader, he knew all too well the limitless, buggy cheats that systems could bring.
Calming himself, Lin Han studied it carefully.
【Ten-thousand-fold Amplification System: Host may select any aspect related to themselves for a one-time ten-thousand-fold amplification!】
【No restrictions, no conditions, everything is amplified ten-thousand-fold!】
Ten-thousand-fold?!
A delighted smile spread across Lin Han’s face, sweeping away all previous disappointment. Just from the description, it was clear his system was extraordinary! In his previous life, he had read countless books and seen all sorts of systems. Usually, to earn rewards from such systems, hosts had to become task machines or puppets fulfilling the system’s desires. In the end, they were just tools arranged by the system.
But his system? Unconditional, unrestricted! This was truly defying the heavens!
“System!”
“Can you amplify my profession panel ten-thousand-fold?” Lin Han asked cautiously.
【Ding! Of course!】
【The profession panel belongs to the host; there’s no reason not to enhance it. Would you like to amplify it ten-thousand-fold now?】
Hearing the system’s reply—
“Yes!” Lin Han swallowed nervously.
【Ding!】
【Profession panel ten-thousand-fold amplification successful. Please check immediately!】
Less than a second later, the system’s melodious voice sounded.
Lin Han turned his gaze to the attribute panel.
【Name】: Lin Han
【Profession】: Life Sacrificer
【Level】: First advancement, level 1 (Advancement requirement: elemental source not met, cannot amplify)
【Stamina】: 1,000,000
【Agility】: 300,000
【Magic】: 500,000
【Endurance】: 1,100,000
【Strength】: 1,200,000
!!!
Lin Han quickly opened the skill panel.
【Magic Suppression】: Unique talent, able to suppress magical elements within a 500-kilometer radius and convert them into his own magical power.
【Guardian Angel】: Forbidden-tier spell. Chanting the hymn of the Goddess of Life, can automatically revive a portion of fallen creatures (mechanical, elemental, and undead creatures cannot be revived).
【Undead Resurrection】: Forbidden-tier spell. Chanting the hymn of the God of Death, guaranteed to summon a demon-type creature. After victorious combat, converts 30% of killed enemy creatures into undead to join his side (excluding lifeless units such as mechanical, elemental, and undead creatures).
【Fallen Intervention】: Forbidden-tier spell. Chanting the hymn of the Fallen Goddess, guaranteed to inflict two negative statuses, and can accept enemy surrender without consent at a rate of 15%.
【Chaos Domain】: Forbidden-tier spell. Chanting the hymn of the God of Chaos summons a domain. Allies can receive two buffs, and can randomly trigger forbidden-tier spells such as Ice Burst, Chain Lightning, Meteor Fragmentation, and Apocalypse Judgment.
“This…”
Rubbing his eyes, Lin Han suspected he was hallucinating. But after checking several times, the profession panel had truly changed!
“Good heavens!”
“I’m a first-advancement mage wielding four forbidden-tier spells, and my base stats are amplified ten-thousand-fold!”
“With these, I can absolutely venture deep into a disaster zone!”
“Advancing is no longer just a dream!”
Clenching his fists, Lin Han now saw a future bright beyond measure. Once he completed his subsequent advancements, who would dare say his profession was useless?!
“Hahaha!”
“Wang Qiang, are you kidding? Lin Han awakened the most useless profession, and still wants to get into a university academy?”
“Going in to be someone’s errand boy?!”
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out.
Lin Han looked up and saw a group of people staring at him, all adorned in luxury brands. They looked quite opulent. This was a clique in the class, made up of students from wealthy families. Leading them was Gao Chong, who had just advanced to the thief profession.
All along, Lin Han’s academic performance had always outshone Gao Chong’s, so Gao Chong was deeply jealous of his exceptional talent.
“Lin Han, I’ve told you before!”
“Good grades don’t mean everything!”
“People born in the slums like you are destined to be useless; no amount of personal effort will change your fate!”
Gao Chong’s eyes flashed with ridicule. Seeing Lin Han’s phenomenal awakening, he had wanted to compete with him in the academy entrance exam. But now, there was no need to consider this pitiful boy a rival.
“Gao Chong, shut up!”
“So what if you have a combat profession? What’s so impressive?”
“If you’re not convinced, duel me!”
Seeing his friend attacked, Wang Qiang immediately stood in front of Lin Han, shouting at Gao Chong. After awakening as a Card Master, only Gao Chong posed any threat to him—the others were nothing.
“It’s fine!”
“No need to pay attention to this trash!”
At that moment, Lin Han stopped Wang Qiang, glanced at Gao Chong, and gently shook his head. To those nearby, Lin Han seemed to be looking at a barking dog.
Now, Lin Han was in a good mood, not wanting to bother with this clown at all.
“Lin Han, stop pretending!”
“Do you still think you’re Second High’s top genius?!”
“With your trash profession, I could crush you with one hand!”
Instantly, Gao Chong’s face twisted with rage. Throughout high school, what he hated most was Lin Han’s arrogant demeanor.
“Heh!”
“Crush me with one hand?”
“Gao Chong, are you so sure I can’t deal with you now?!”
Lin Han glanced at Gao Chong’s twisted expression, clenched his fists, and his muscles bulged, thick and knotted, astonishing to behold. His strength stat was a staggering 1.2 million! If he really got physical, he could probably pulverize Gao Chong with a single punch.
If there weren’t a group of Second High teachers nearby, he wouldn’t mind ending Gao Chong’s journey as a profession holder right at the start.
“You!”
“Hmph! I won’t stoop to the level of someone with a useless profession. Let’s see in a few days which unfortunate school will admit you!”
Gao Chong snorted coldly. After awakening, before leveling up, personal strength was still the most crucial factor. That meant, before level 10, the gap between him and Lin Han hadn’t widened yet—he might even suffer a loss.
But his family had already arranged leveling dungeons and enough money to buy skill books. All he could hope for was that, days later, after reaching level 10 or even advancing to the second stage, Lin Han would still dare to talk tough.
“Lin Han, at the academy entrance exam in a few days, I will tell the proctors I want to duel you!”
“By then, I hope to see you kneeling and begging for mercy!”
“Let’s go!”
With that, Gao Chong left, his gaze dark, leading his clique off to level up.
