Star Wars: Galactic System - CH11

I had killed someone, and I felt nothing, nothing at all.

The blaster in my hand was still hot. The body of the bounty hunter in front of me silent, a pool of red seeping into the grey concrete around it. My heart pounded in my chest, but not out of guilt or regret. Adrenaline. The exhilaration of survival. But as far as any other emotion, I felt absolutely… nothing.

I stared at the system message floating in front of me, and sighed. I had leveled up, hadn’t I?

Taking a deep breath, I cautiously approached the lifeless body of the bounty hunter. Carefully, I checked for any valuable items he may have had on him. Grabbing his blaster, a handful of credits, a few knives, some grenades, and a holopuck with my face and bounty.

~Dead or Alive, Sion Wells, Slave. Reward: 5,500 credits.~

That was surprisingly low, I kind of expected Gardulla to be offering more, I not only escaped her, but messed with her business. Then again, Gardulla wasn't known for her generosity anyway, I honestly doubt she thinks I’m worth the trouble of hiring the best of the best.

This works in my advantage anyhow. If my bounty is that low, it means the only ones coming after me are the ones I can possibly deal with. God knows I can deal with Jango Fett, or anyone of his caliber.

Pushing that thought aside, I stared at the bounty hunter… or his corpse for that matter one last time, thinking what to do. Self defense or not, I had killed someone in Naboo, meaning there was a chance I might find myself being prosecuted by the authorities, or worse… getting the attention of Palpatine.

I could hide the body, but where…?

No… hiding the body might just make things worse, my best bet is to leave it here.

Taking a final look at the body, I turned away. The narrow alley was shrouded in darkness, littered with waste and debris. Not a place anyone would stroll into without reason. The body would lie undiscovered for hours, maybe even days.

Back at the hotel, I dropped on the bed and with a sigh, I opened my stats window.

Closing the window, I glanced to the right of the screen where the four class options sat.

• Jedi Guardian / Common - Masters of the lightsaber, Jedi Guardians are protectors of peace. They excel in close combat and are skilled defenders.

• Sith Warrior / Very Rare - Masters of stealth and deception, Sith Assassins use the dark side to empower their attacks and manipulate their enemies.

• Mandalorian / Rare - Equipped with a variety of weapons and gadgets, Bounty Hunters excel in tracking and capturing or eliminating their targets.

• Celestial Paragon / Legendary- A extremely rare class that balances immense power with significant restrictions. This path offers unique abilities that can surpass conventional limitations, for those who can master its challenges.

I knew enough about the first three classes to have a general idea of how they worked. But the last one, I had no idea what it entailed, but it seemed that out of the four the one I knew nothing about was the most rare.

The rarity of the class alone was enough to spur my interest. But the question of the matter was… what were those 'significant restrictions'? I needed more information before making a decision.

"System, details on Celestial Paragon class."

Words began to form before me:

[Celestial Paragon / Legendary- A legendary class that balances immense power with significant restrictions. This class gives the user an immense physical potential, one without peer. This peerless power can be adjusted or evolve to excel in any situation. However, using this class blocks any force sensitive classes, as it brings your Midichlorian count down to zero.

Some of the perks of this class include but are not limited to.

Mind Fortress: This perk grants immunity to mind control, illusions, and other psychic or mental manipulations. It reflects a strong mental discipline and resistance, making the Celestial Paragon impervious to typical Jedi mind tricks or Sith persuasions.

Toxin Ward - High resistance to poisons, toxins, and other hazardous substances. With this class your body can neutralize or mitigate the effects of most known poisons, providing a significant advantage in environments or battles where such tactics are employed.

Peerless Prowess - Enhanced physical abilities that include increased strength, speed, and agility. This perk allows the Celestial Paragon to perform beyond physical limiters, surpassing other beings in raw physical contests, that being said, this is something you have to earn, this class just opens the door to this possibility.

Enhanced Recovery - Accelerated healing from physical injuries. This perk allows the Celestial Paragon to recover quickly from wounds that would typically require medical attention, though it might not be as effective against severe or critical injuries.

Rapid Assimilation - This perk grants the Celestial Paragon the ability to quickly learn and master any weapon or fighting style they wish. Whether it's an ancient lightsaber technique, hand to hand combat, or unfamiliar alien weaponry, the Celestial Paragon can become proficient with it in a fraction of the usual time.

So if I pick that… I wont be able to use the force. But I would become a super soldier of some kind…

I glanced back at the other options. Jedi Guardian, Sith Warrior, Mandalorian Hunter. Each one had its appeal. But none offered the same level of benefits that the Celestial Paragon did.

The thrill of wielding a lightsaber, of commanding the Force, was tempting but would it extend to my survival? I was no chosen one, and there was no guarantee I would reach such a level anytime soon. The Mandalorian way also appealed, their history and culture were legends among the stars.

But the Paragon... I could be something else entirely.

Again, my eyes were drawn towards the 'Peerless Prowess' perk of the Celestial Paragon class. Enhanced physical ability without limits. That sounded amazing in of itself.

The system said this path opens up the doors to such prowess, meaning it was not immediate and I would have to work for it. But what if I could train myself to be faster than any Jedi? Stronger than any Sith? What if I could surpass even the legendary Mandalorians in combat?

I think I need a drink before taking a decision.
