"{The best race would be Vampire}," the system replied.

"Vampire, huh... It does offer a lot of utility. What are the most powerful vampire racial classes?" Yuki pondered. Initially, he considered options like Lycanthrope or Dragon, but the World Champion class demanded versatility. While it predominantly focused on physical abilities, it had some potent magical skills. Winning the World Tournament required a wildcard, and magic could be an advantage. Yuki had other plans for Dragon and Lycanthrope builds.

Without hesitation, Yuki retrieved an item from his inventory—a crystallized droplet of blood known as the [Tear of the Blood Ancestor].This item was essential for the transformation into a vampire.

He used the item, triggering a new screen that presented him with various Vampire racial classes to choose from:

[Racial Classes Available: Vampire, Vampire Knight, Vampire Caster, Vampire Lord, Vampire Noble, Vampire Assassin, Vampire Scholar, Vampire Alchemist]

Yuki had an array of choices before him.

Yuki surveyed the available racial classes, already knowing his choice. He opted for the simple Vampire racial class. It was the best choice for versatility and also the key to unlocking the most potent vampire racial class.

With a tap, he switched his avatar, only to be greeted by a hideous appearance that left him disgusted. His new form resembled a grotesque mix of a human and a bat, with monstrous hands and a face that could terrify children at first glance. Despite the revolting appearance, Yuki decided to postpone customization. Acquiring the hidden vampire racial class would undoubtedly bring a more appealing appearance.

"Now for the Job Class..." Yuki muttered as he contemplated his choice.

[Paladin: Lvl - 0]

He chose the Paladin class for specific reasons. Firstly, it was a prerequisite for unlocking a very potent job class. Secondly, Paladins were highly versatile, with the ability to cast healing and blessing spells, unlike the purely physical Warrior class. Paladins did have slightly lower physical strength, but Yuki's hidden vampire racial class would compensate for that.

"Time for another hunt. I have to complete this build in less than 2 months..." Yuki muttered to himself as he used another gate scroll to open a portal to Helheim. Helheim was the ideal place for Vampires as they gained a significant boost to their strength in the perpetual darkness of this realm, and the monsters there provided substantial EXP.

Upon arriving in Helheim, Yuki was immediately confronted by hordes of Goblins, all fixated on him.

"Time for some carnage..." Yuki declared as he unleashed the power of his cheat item, the sealing crystal, releasing devastating spells to deal with the goblins.

In the days that followed, Yuki dedicated his time to leveling up his racial class and job class.

After five days, Yuki had successfully maxed out his Paladin class. Furthermore, he had already unlocked a new racial class for his vampire build: the Noble Vampire. When reaching level 10 in the vampire racial class, three options become available. The first is Origin Vampire, which focuses on understanding one's origin and mastering blood-related powers. The second option is True Vampire, a class that Shalltear Bloodfallen had, designed to unlock a vampire's full potential, albeit with a very hideous lamprey-like appearance. Lastly, there's the Noble Vampire, the choice Yuki made to access the hidden racial class. Opting for this path allowed him to maintain a less grotesque appearance, resembling a sickly pale human with slightly pointed ears.

"System, provide me with the location of the Island of NobleBlood."

{The Island of NobleBlood is only visible at midnight and is located in the Seventh Ocean, connecting Helheim and Muspellsheim.}

Yuki's vision expanded, and the map interface took control, revealing both unexplored black areas and accessible regions.

Yuki looked at the place where system told him the island where he will unlock his racial class is....

"Hmm... It's close to the island of Chiropetricia," Yuki muttered. Having previously visited the nearby island of Chiropetricia, he decided to use a gate to get there before flying all the way to the Island of NobleBlood.

Yuki decided to get some sleep and logged out, planning to return at midnight.

After a few hours, Yuki arrived on the island of Chiropetricia. This island had a modern appearance and was inhabited by beastmen, a similar species to vampires but classified as demi-humans. Despite the late hour, the beastmen, who possessed bat-like ears and small wings, were going about their lives. They had been cast aside by their own demi-human races due to their vampiric features. Yuki had even completed a quest here as an angel to unlock one of his Virtues.

"Let's get going..." Yuki said as he checked the time. He'll only have a minute left to enter the island, and it was already 11:53. If he didn't hurry, he'd have to wait another night to reach his destination.

Two huge bat-like wings sprouted from his back, and he immediately launched himself into the sky. Hovering above the island, Yuki retrieved a scroll and casted it. 

"[Ultimate Super Ultra Boost: Flight]" Unlike meta-magic enhancements, this scroll enhanced certain physical traits, like sharpening claws for those who possessed natural claw abilities, a common trait among both beastmen and heteromorphs. And giving boost to flight speed, if the player had wings.

Yuki's flight speed increased dramatically, creating a sonic boom-like sound as he soared through the sky. Guided by the system and determined to make it on time, he expertly navigated the air. After just five minutes, he arrived near the calm ocean, getting closer to his destination.

Yuki found himself atop the serene, calm ocean, surrounded by water that played a significant role in the world of Yggdrasil. To travel from one world to another, one often had to traverse through water, employ transportation spells, or endure lengthy ferry rides that took real-time to complete, sometimes spanning as long as two days. However, there were also worlds that were interconnected; it just depended on where and which world you were in and what you wanted to go. 

As Yuki gazed out at the water, his eyes fixed on the calm surface, and his attention focused on the time:

[11:59]

[12:00]

When the clock struck midnight, a crimson barrier enveloped a section of the ocean. Without hesitation, Yuki plunged into the barrier at high speed, disappearing into the blood-red portal.

Upon passing through the blood-red barrier, Yuki found himself in a stunning and expansive island, stretching far and wide, seemingly a world unto itself. His knowledge from the system informed him that this island was divided into four territories, each ruled by a clan leader of the native species known as the Noblesse, a powerful vampire type beyond the normal vampire.

To unlock the hidden Noblesse class, Yuki needed to meet one of the four clan leaders, each representing an element, and pass their tests.

"Give me the location of the Flame Clan," Yuki ordered, observing the volcanic mountains that surrounded him, indicating that the Flame Clan would likely be the nearest.

A new location appeared on his map, guiding him to a massive cave entrance within a volcanic mountain. As he entered, the first challenge presented itself—a colossal bridge suspended above a river of lava.

Walking along the stone bridge, Yuki was immediately faced with multiple lava monsters launching attacks. Magma Worms, Flame Wyverns, and Terra Drakes, all level 60 or higher, assailed him. Although he initially aimed to unlock the Noblesse class before leveling up, this presented a perfect opportunity to gain valuable experience points.

With a sealing crystal in hand, Yuki unleashed powerful 10th-tier magic to defeat the monsters.

At the end of this lengthy bridge stood what appeared to be a dragon.

"An Elder Fire Dragon?" Yuki mused aloud as he looked at the red dragon poised to attack. Yuki, however, didn't give it a chance, as it was a level 85 monster with the potential to kill his first avatar. He had no desire to return here tomorrow solely to unlock this class.

Yuki retrieved a sealing crystal and cast the super-tier spell [Glacial Chasm]. The moment the spell was invoked, the entire area around the fire dragon froze. Before it could even take flight or lunge toward Yuki, two pieces of ice emerged from the ground and swiftly encased it, capturing it alive within a crystalline ice cube.

"That was quite easy," Yuki remarked as he approached the now-frozen dragon. The dragon remained alive, albeit with its HP gradually decreasing. By inflicting damage now, Yuki could acquire some valuable EXP.

Drawing near the massive ice cube, Yuki extended his hand, and his pale hands with red nails grew—the natural weapons of all vampires. Yuki immediately swung his nails at the ice chasm, creating a crack. The ice began to fracture, eventually leading to the dragon's release.

[You have gained a level]

[You have gained a level]

[You have gained a level]

[You have gained a level]

Level-up notifications continued to appear as Yuki observed the ice melting and the Elder Fire Dragon's body disappearing.

"Let's start by adding some levels," Yuki muttered to himself as he opened his status screen.

He first examined the new options available after completing the Fallen Dark Quest, which had unlocked fallen job classes for Paladin and Knight.

[Job classes available: | Fallen Paladin | | Dark Knight | | Cursed Crusader | | Dread Knight | Necro Knight | | Shadow Paladin | | Corrupt Templar | ]

Yuki decided to choose the Dread Knight and added 10 levels to it, using some of the 35 levels he had acquired. Once he finished adding the 10 levels, he received a new notification.

[You have unlocked the Job Class «Dread Lord»]

Knowing this job class, Yuki immediately added 5 levels to it, as it was a rare job class. Next, he selected the Dark Knight and Fallen Paladin classes, adding 5 and 10 levels to them, respectively. He decided to save the remaining 5 levels for when he acquired the Noblesse class.

After meticulously distributing stat and skill points, Yuki moved deeper into the cave and arrived near a massive gate leading inside. As he approached, a shadowy figure appeared before him and knelt.

"[Our lord awaits the one who has completed the trial]," the kneeling NPC said. The figure had a humanoid appearance with pale skin, contrasting with Yuki's own hideous and ugly features, despite also being humanoid.

Yuki followed the NPC as they opened the gate with their hands and entered what seemed to be an underground city. This city appeared to predate the true underground which was coming an with expansion pack, with ancient ruins and dungeons.

He walked behind the NPC, a red line connecting them. Whenever Yuki stopped to admire the scenery, the NPC would patiently wait, then prompt him to continue.

After five minutes, they arrived at a grand noble house. Upon entering, Yuki was greeted by servants kneeling everywhere, and he was guided to a woman seated on a throne.

"[You have completed the challenge of the Noblesse. Tell me, do you desire to become one?]" The woman on the throne asked. Her eyes were a vampiric blood-red, but her face held a striking beauty, unlike that of normal vampires.

Two options appeared before Yuki: "Yes" or "No." And what did he choose? Yes, obviously.

"[The ritual shall be performed. Come kneel before me.]" said the woman as Yuki walked near her and knelt. She extended her hand, and a droplet of blood fell from it onto Yuki's head, which barely had any hair due to still being a vampire.

[You have acquired the Racial Class «False Noblesse»]

"[I hereby make you one of mine.]" the woman declared, and a magic circle appeared and shone. Yuki's appearance finally turned humanoid with long red hair.

Immediately after the animation ended, Yuki was greeted by new notifications:

[You have unlocked a new Job Class]

[You have unlocked the Job Class «Aura Adept»]

"Let's go!" Yuki shouted in happiness. The NPCs around him paid no attention to him; their job was done.

Yuki immediately added two levels to his False Noblesse class and three levels to his Aura Adept Job class. After getting out of the huge mansion, he couldn't use Gate, so he used Flight. This time, black wings with a platinum shine appeared behind him, resembling those of a fallen angel.

"Let's do some hunting in the Lord's house now," Yuki said as he made his way toward the center of the island where the Lord resided. He chose the False Noblesse class because the true hidden class is only available after becoming a False Noblesse. Specific conditions need to be met to acquire this class, which grants many powerful advantages. He can't wait for the world tournament, honestly.
