The Dark Council was a camp formed by the underground dark creatures living in the Aegean Continent. These dark creatures, for various reasons, were feared by the people of the continent, which had led to besiegement from the Holy Order Assembly. However, the dark creatures were unresigned to being deprived of the right to survive, so they united and fought. They also had the strongest faith that one day, they would walk in the sun!
Since there was a camp, there would always be a confrontation. If one side was too strong and the other side was too weak, such a confrontation would be meaningless. However, everyone knew that the people in this world who longed for kindness and happiness were always in the majority. As a result, there were naturally more players who chose the Holy Order Assembly. In order to ensure that such a camp confrontation was not dominated by one side, Team Red Fox had actually taken this into account when developing the Chaotic Era and made up for it in the classes of the Dark Council Camp.
There were also three races to choose from in the Dark Council that corresponded to the races of the Holy Order Assembly Camp.
The first race was the Apostle Race!
The Apostle Race was considered a descendant of the ancient demon gods left in the world. They had strong bodies and strength that was not inferior to Scions and had always been the core elites of the Dark Council and the arch-enemy of Scions.
[Apostle Race] Available Classes: Warrior, Wizard.
The second race of the Dark Council was the Orc Race!
The Orc Race was a race that had existed since ancient times in the Aegean Continent. However, compared to humans, they lacked intelligence and wisdom. Their fierce appearance also made humans very afraid of them, so they had been expelled to a barren land. In order to return to the rich and beautiful singing prairie, they’d resolutely joined the Dark Council and begun resisting the Holy Order Assembly for centuries.
[Orc Race] Available Classes: Warrior, Priest.
The third race of the Dark Council was the Undead!
The Undead was the aftermath left behind by the Chaos Corps’ invasion. They should have died after the massacre of the invaders. However, their undead faith had made them stand up again. They had retained wisdom while they had still been alive, but they could not retain their bodies. This was precisely why they had also been expelled by the Holy Order Assembly. Desperate, they had to rely on the protection of the Dark Council.
[Undead] Available Classes: Warrior, Wizard, Priest, Ranger.
Up to this point, I believe everyone can also see that the races of the three camps on both sides kind of corresponded to one another. The Scions corresponded to the Apostles, the Humans corresponded to the Undead, and the Elves corresponded to the Orcs.
In that case, where were the characteristics of the Dark Council Camp? In fact, its characteristics were reflected in the detailed classification of the classes!
The class systems of the Dark Council Camp were broken down as follows:
Warrior Class: Berserker, Shield Warrior, Death Knight.
Wizard Class: Pyromancer, Venomancer.
Priest Class: Dark Mage, Prophet.
Ranger Class: Thief, Dark Hunter.
Among the classes that could be chosen by the two camps, all the classes were different except for the Berserker, the Shield Warrior, and the Thief. The Paladin and the Death Knight corresponded to each other, but their combat methods were quite different. As far as the Wizard Class was concerned, the Mages of the Holy Order Assembly controlled the two elemental forces of ice and fire, while in the Dark Council, the Pyromancers controlled the summoning forces and the Venomancers controlled the power of poison. The same applied to the Priest Class. In the Holy Order Assembly, Priests were in charge of healing and support and the Grand Priests could battle alone. On the other hand, in the Dark Council, the Dark Mages were the ones weakening and debuffing, while the Prophets, who were involved in both offense and defense, were the ones healing and supporting. Although Archers and Dark Hunters used ranged attacks with bows and arrows, they were also different when it came to their skills.
These characteristic classes could also attract many players who loved new experiences and were seeking novelty to the Dark Council Camp. Thus, it fundamentally ensured the balance of power between the two camps!
In the past, Fatty hadn’t thought much when he’d looked at these classes. The reason he understood this was that he’d only gained this knowledge after seeing a theoretical post.
Right now, Fatty was going to face the choice of his class.
Given his personality, Fatty first ruled out the melee classes. If he played with a melee class, his future would definitely be bleak.
What was left was the ranged and support classes.
Dark Mage, Prophet, Dark Hunter, Pyromancer, Venomancer… Fatty scanned the specific details of these classes. In the end, his gaze paused on the Venomancer.
“I seem to remember that there was a post on the Internet dedicated to the Venomancer Class…” Fatty touched his fat chin and said as he recalled, “What was it again…”
Fatty couldn’t remember the title of the post, but he still clearly remembered the content. The reason was very simple. After that post had appeared, the Venomancer Class had suddenly skyrocketed. Four out of ten new players had chosen the Venomancer Class.
Although Fatty hadn’t performed well in the Chaotic Era in the past, this did not mean that he was dejected. In fact, no one was more diligent than Fatty when it came to studying class analysis posts and strategy content. Fatty dreamed of being more popular in the game so that people would call him enviously an expert…
Oh, that was right! Fatty finally remembered the title of that post: The Mistakes of Adding Points to a Venomancer!
That post had appeared probably in 2015. The content stated that most Venomancer players at this stage were making a mistake. Although the Venomancer belonged to the Wizard Class, in fact, it didn’t actually belong to the orthodox Wizard Class. In other words, it was completely wrong to add stat points to the Vitality and Intelligence of a Venomancer!
As everyone knew, Intelligence determined the mana and magic attacking power and Vitality determined the regeneration speed of the mana. These two stats were very important to a Mage.
However, that was not the case for the Venomancer Class. Most of its skills were added to poison damage and its skill consumption was relatively small. Improving Intelligence was not very useful to a Venomancer, as it couldn’t completely increase one’s attacking power!
The author of that post stated that the best way to add points to a Venomancer was through Constitution or Luck! Adding a few points to the Constitution could allow the Venomancer to have a high amount of HP so that they wouldn’t die easily. This way, through the Venomancer’s unique toxin effect, they could drag down the opponent. As for Luck, it was an unconventional way. Luck was mainly used to increase the chance of some skills with additional effects. Through high Luck stats, one could display the huge potential of the Venomancer’s crowd control poison.
When he thought of this post, Fatty’s interest was suddenly piqued. After all, he still remembered that post mentioning that ever since the game had begun the open beta trial, due to the impact of adding points wrongly to a Venomancer, a few players had chosen this class. However, even though they’d chosen this class, they had given up after not playing it for long.
The Venomancer was actually a very powerful class, and Fatty now knew the right way to add points to a Venomancer.
His future was definitely bright!
Fatty’s eyes lit up. The most important feature of a Venomancer was to send people flying into a rage! This was absolutely suitable for the mischievous Fatty…
Why do I say that? Everyone will understand later on…
Fatty had decided. He had chosen the Dark Council Camp and the Apostle Race and had created a Venomancer character!
A strong, tanned body, purple-red eyes, and two curved horns on the forehead represented the demon lineage of the Apostle Race. There was a curved staff in its right hand, and its left hand gently spread out before a dark green skeleton disappeared. Fatty’s Apostle Venomancer character finally appeared.
System: “Please give a name to your character!”
Fatty blinked and tentatively said, “Honest and Reliable Playboy?”
System: “Sorry, your character name already exists!”
He blinked again and said, “Elegance Over Pan’an?”
System: “Sorry, your character name already exists!”
“What the hell! Old Man Young Wife?”
System: “Sorry…”
“Hey, I don’t believe it! S*x Maniac Zhou Botong?”
System: “Sorry…”
“Dharma Name Wet Dream?”
System: “Sorry…”
“What Is Your Mother’s Surname?”
System: “Sorry…”
“…”
Half an hour later, Fatty was finally defeated by the system. To be precise, he was defeated by the other players. He hadn’t expected that all the names he suggested would already be taken by others or that some words would be banned by the system. Fatty wanted to have an eye-catching name so that it would leave a deep impression on everyone…
“Alright, alright. I’m scared of you!” Fatty said speechlessly. “I’ll use my previous name: Chicken Sugar!”
If Tang Ji’s name was read the other way, it would be Ji Tang1. Fatty thought the name was too ordinary, so his internet alias had always been Chicken Sugar.
It finally worked this time. After Fatty’s character was created, he looked at the time. It was a while before noon. Hence, Fatty opened the side compartment of the holographic gaming device to take out a tiny disc and put it in.
At the same time, the projector suddenly showed a pop-up window in the void. “A third-party program has been detected. You are suspected of using a plug-in! Your account is now locked. Please wait for verification!”
