Can't I Just Raise Myself?

He glanced at the time—another 1 AM. Ryan yawned, ready to log off. Ever since activating the game system, his internal clock had gone completely haywire.

There wasn't much entertainment in this world. Before, he'd sleep at nine or ten. Now, midnight was just the start; he usually crashed between one and two.

That wasn't even the worst part. He still had to drag himself up at eight sharp every morning, or he'd miss the early shift check-in.

"Ahh... the old days were better." Ryan felt a pang of nostalgia for when he was Little Camilla.

Being a Security Officer in the Patrol Division, just coasting through each day, wasn't half bad.

Just as Ryan was about to close the interface, a new message popped up—

[Character Card function activated. Create a Character Card?]

"Character Card?"

He tapped the detailed description.

[Character Card → Lin Qi]

[Upon using the Character Card, you gain all abilities of the current character. Duration: 1 hour. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

"Oh?"

Ryan's eyes lit up.

No question—he had to make this.

[Creation successful. 'Lin Qi's Character Card' obtained.]

With a thought, a dark card materialized in Ryan's hand.

On the card was the post-class-change illustration of 'Lin Qi,' with the words 'Silent Nun Qi' engraved at the top.

On the back of the card, a line of text read—

[While holding this card, upon the original character's death, you have one—and only one—opportunity to transfer this class and its skills to a new character.]

Ryan's eyelid twitched.

Class transfer?

"So, as long as I make a Character Card, even if Lin Qi dies, this class can still be inherited?"

It was only one chance, but it massively improved the margin for error.

"Isn't this a bit overpowered?"

Then let's have more of it.

Ryan grinned, rubbing the card. The power of the Silent Nun was reassuring.

Tucking the card into his backpack, Ryan opened the character list. Next to 'Lin Qi,' a '+' sign had appeared in the previously gray character slot.

He paused, then reached out and tapped the '+'.

The next second, the new character creation interface popped up, just as he'd hoped.

[Please name your new character.]
