Shawn Lay, student ID 9107, is called by the principal to "enter the rift," an event he's been anticipating to gain combat abilities and skills. When he entered, he finds himself in an unfamiliar room with other students and a game-like system appears, announcing he has awakened a job: The Protector.
Confused about whether "Protector" is a combat job like a tank, Shawn is directed by another student to a crystal orb to check his skills. Upon touching the orb, the system displays his newfound powers:
SKILLS: * Heavenly Cut
* Hundred Slash
* Air Cutting Slash
* Perfect Perception
ABILITIES: * Master of All Weapon
* Mana Regeneration
* Body Enhancement
* Regeneration
* Speed Enhancement
He also receives a SPECIAL JOB ABILITY called "The Will of the Protector," which significantly enhances his abilities when he desires to help someone, with the enhancement growing stronger the more he wishes to assist.
