[ WP ] life is an rpg where everyone finds out their class at age 18. Business owners start as level 1 merchants , police and military as level 1 guards/fighters , ect . When you turn 18 , you discover you are the first level 1 wizard in over 1000 years .

I really wasn ’ t expecting this. 
 
 There is really nothing special about me. Dad is a HR specialist that works for the City of Buffalo, Mom is a school administrator that also volunteers for inner city kids. If you were to try to find something strange about me, I guess I ’ m kinda of a political nerd. Student council, Model UN. Hell, screw prom, representing the United States on the Security Council, that was the highlight of my senior year! ( As usual, the simulation ended when the US nuked Syria. It ai n't Model UN until someone nukes something as the UN watches powerlessly. ) 
 
 I was really hoping to get on the leader track, give back to my community. But I would have accepted any other track if it allowed me to continue helping others like what Mom and Dad do. But Wizard? What am I supposed to make of that? 
 
 Dad had a good laugh, “ Must be an easter egg in the Sybil System, ” he said. “ I have a friend, Matt, in IT. I ’ ll push this issue up the chain and it ’ ll get fixed in two weeks. ” 
 
 Mom was much more worried. She has seen too many kids red-flagged as a “ Rogue ” or “ Thief ” class, any they typically end up either dead or in jail. Nobody makes it past level 1 in those classes. 
 
 After two weeks of fretting and assurances from Dad, Matt finally visited our house with a laptop so he can finish the fix and confirm the final details. If you need a mental image of Matt, think of an old fat guy, kinda like Santa Claus. Greying hair, a mighty “ Unix Beard ”. I guess that ’ s the benevolent predecessor to the ugly neckbeard stereotype, but Matt was a true technical wizard that knew the Sybil System inside and out. ( But not a true wizard class, he ’ s an engineer class ). 
 
 Matt had to give me another interview to double check that all the details in the system were correct, then he had to have a private chat with my parents. But it turns out the Sybil evaluation was perfectly accurate, I ’ m on the wizard track! 
 
 I couldn ’ t decide if I was more shocked or confused. 
 
 I didn ’ t really knew Matt that well, but he tried to calm me down with a story. 
 
 “ Well, I guess this story isn ’ t really calming, but let me tell you about the previous wizard, it ’ s been over 1000 years since then. ” 
 
 “ Wait a moment, the Sybil System is a massively parallel computer system. There is no way we know that there was a wizard class back then, or there were even classes. ” 
 
 “ Well, actually, the computer system is only the technological component of the Sybil System. Before that, there were other methods and test we can do to determine a person ’ s class, but the computers of the Sybil System just automate it. Now please, let me finish my story without interruptions. ” 
 
 “ Now there was this young bright woman like you Miss. Alexandra Patterson ( You mentioned Alex as your preferred nickname, should I call you that from now on? ). She too just discovered that she was destined to become a wizard. She was distraught as well, she desired a destiny where she can make a world a better place for her family and village, but she eventually figured she could use her magical potential to aid her village, and set out to seek a mentor. ” 
 
 “ The things she seen outside her village horrified her. Chaos, banditry, endless fighting and struggle to survive. Her village was obscure and spared from all of that, but she knew she had to do something to fix this. She heard a local legend that pulling the sword out of a certain stone makes one the rightful King of England, so she used considerable magical talent to pull off that trick. ” 
 
 I was outraged. “ Wait a moment, I read the ‘ The Once and Future King ’ as well, and there are so many things wrong of what you just said. “ 
 
 “ That was written in 1938 and the author was living backwards through time, ” Matt protested, “ Forgive him for, well I guess screwing up all the details but still getting the general story correct. Also, he was a tree as some point, but please, let me finish my story. ” 
 
 “ Now where was I, oh it doesn ’ t matter, you already read ‘ The Once and Future King ’. Events mostly occurred as in that book, but Arutoria always felt she was living a lie, instituting the concepts of Knightly Honor and Chivalry while lying about her heritage, her gender, even her sham marriage with Guinevere. She wanted to spare Mordred from that life and institute a better method of succession, but Mordred… let ’ s just say ‘ Daddy issues ’ doesn ’ t even begin to cover half of that. Mordred took it as she needed to make herself worthy to be the next king, Arutoria took it as a rebellion, and the Battle of Camlann happened. Except it was Arutoria that sacrificed herself to save her son ’ s/daughter ’ s ( god that frustrated me to no end ) life. Wanting to honor her father ’ s/mother ’ s sacrifice, Mordred asked me for my help in hiding her and her descendants for the rest of time. ” 
 
 “ Sorry, I guess I rambled on way too much. Anyways, the point is the class system is in no way binding, and being a wizard class by no means you ’ re stuck in a damp, uncomfortable tower with bad ventilation wearing only robes. It ’ s really more of a guideline rather than being carved in stone. Hell, being a wizard is by no means a detriment to being a leader. There ’ s probably a round table at the UN Headquarters for you to head. But it doesn ’ t mean it ’ s won ’ t end in flames and tears, and with your son/daughter trying to kill you. ” 
 
 I was completely stunned. “ That story was terrible. Were you trying to cram your stupid fanfiction into a story to make me feel better, but completely failing to do just that ‘ Merlin ’? ” 
 
 ‘ Merlin ’ started looking really nervous. “ Dammit, I ’ m screwing up this one too, ” he muttered under his breath. “ Ok Artoria Pendragon. Wait, I ’ m sorry, I ’ m supposed to call you by your nickname now, Alex, ” he continued normally, if much more cynically, “ I ’ m going to be straight with you. Pretending to be the kind old mentor really screwed things up last time, so I ’ m going to be honest. I did a really good job hiding Mordred ’ s line and I turned into a tree as some point, so I had to create the Sybil System to find you again. Also, since you are the first wizard class in over a 1000 years, you really are your ancestor reborn, with means New England ’ s darkest hour approaches and we have to grind you up to Wizard level 6 fast so you can get blessed by the Ladies of the Great Lakes. I forgot what holy weapons they gave you, but I remembered they were awesome. And to answer the hard questions in your life: ” 
 
 “ Yes, you should punch Lancelot in the dick when you first meet him, he really deserves it and it ’ ll teach him a lesson he ’ ll remember. He really was expressing his desire to fornicate with both you and Guinevere simultaneously in an extremely crude and misogynistic manner. He was also blackout drunk so you need to establish dominance and leave a lasting impression. I also see you like a daughter-like figure, so it also would save me the trouble. It was an enjoyable viral video. ” 
 
 “ It ’ s nice to donate your eggs to try to artificially inseminate Guinevere, but it ’ s more likely they get stolen and you get cloned and Lancelot knocks up Guinevere anyways. Dammit, I got another headache just remembering that. ” 
 
 “ Don ’ t be to hard on yourself when nukes start flying. Your son/daughter survives and will try to make up for the mistakes she made. You did your best and it ’ s only the end of Western Civilization, mankind will remember your legend as the hero that brought justice to the world. Leaders will try to emulate you for the next 10,000 years this time. Or at least use your name for political points. Also, I ’ ll try to remember and retell your story better. ” 
 
 I could only mutter two words. “ Fuck. You. ” I ran back to my room, barely holding back tears and hid in my bed, wrapping my head with my pillow. Being a wizard class is going to suck. 
 
 ( This is my first story on this subreddit, and my story meandered quite a bit and barely fit the prompt. Criticism is both wanted and feared. )
