Well, a few days ago, LORD NINE officially launched their game. They said you can become whoever you want or build a class based on your own character design — at least, that’s how I understand the game. It’s quite unique because I can unleash my imagination, mixing different attributes to create my own overpowered (OP) character. Well, let’s be honest, everyone dreams of making an OP character, right?

Anyway, shoutout to @menzo for telling me about this game after its release. Usually, we share a lot of game info and play together. But most of the time, some games just… well, suck (sorry, but it’s true). Still, even when we feel that way, we always give it our best shot. Sadly, many games become boring over time.

WHAT MAKES THIS GAME DIFFERENT?

Like I mentioned earlier, the biggest highlight is the infinite class system. They even hinted at hidden classes that can be unlocked through specific in-game mechanics. Sounds familiar, right? Of course! If you’re into manga, you know that hidden classes are always OP and often play a big role in the main storyline.

Another thing that sets this game apart is that it’s a Play-to-Earn (P2E) game. By integrating stablecoins and real asset liquidity, the platform aims to create a sustainable, player-driven economy that enhances both the gaming and earning experience. It’s been covered by several news outlets. You can check it out here: Lord Nine Official Launch Article

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE GAME Yes, this is new. Yes, this is different. And yes, I want to be a part of it. For those who love manga and are into otaku culture, this game feels fresh and exciting. Besides the game mechanics, there are many unique systems that change the traditional gameplay formula.

For example, you don’t get stat points by simply leveling up. Instead, you have to complete specific subquests (which many people tend to ignore) to earn stat boosts. Another twist: normally, in other games, you increase STR (Strength) to become a tank, or DEX/AGI if you want to specialize in ranged attacks. But here, Strength increases both melee and ranged damage, and even affects your critical rate. Wild, right?

But we can talk more about that in the future.

Back to the topic—farming in the early game is a must for everyone. It’s essential to develop a character that fits your playstyle. The faster you farm, the better, especially as a pioneer. These past few days, I’ve been completely hooked on the game. I even set my character to AFK mode while working, but it’s so hard not to keep glancing at the screen to check on the progress. Hopefully, I’ll get used to this multitasking habit soon so I can focus on other things too.

My Character Build (Sneak Peek)

SOurce

Since there’s PvP in this game, I plan to build a high-damage, high-crit, fast character. You’re probably thinking “Assassin,” right? (which is one of the classes with those skills). But as I explored the game further, I realized there are so many class possibilities.

Currently, I can cast fire and ice spells, and I’m using a crossbow as my primary weapon and a dagger as my secondary. You need to increase the mastery level of each weapon separately. It’s like learning Taekwondo for kicks and Boxing for punches—both have different skills and techniques.

My dagger skills are deadly because of bleed and poison effects.

My crossbow has channeling skills that deal sustained damage.

Combining both, I can then choose unique skills through a node system to unlock my custom class, which will give me exclusive abilities based on my build. Sounds complicated? It is! But that’s what makes this game so different and exciting.

It’s only been out for 5 days, and I’ve been playing for 4 days straight, so I’ll definitely share more about the mechanics once I dive deeper into it. :p

Anyway, that’s all for today. If you’re playing the game, let me know which server you’re on. Who knows? Maybe we can team up and hunt some bosses together.

Thanks again, and see you tomorrow!
