So... after I freaked out arachnee... her name is Aeshia... and she actually confirmed my hypotesis of her 'royal' origins... see... she's a daughter of pure arachnee... or arachnid... which is by the way a matriarch... and so she have some traits only showing in those of first generation arachnees... like her eyes. Usually, those traits can be found in most cases of first arachnee, but... not many of those left, and Arachnids are quite... troublesome, to mate with...
Anyway... let's get some power ups!
Be moderate...
Yes Bianca! By the way is there some [Knowledge] skills?
Yes... you can upgrade it to [Knowledge] and then to [Know it all] traits, and I would recommend you to get also [Appraisal] and [Enhanced Memory]. Also-
Wait a bit... I'll upgrade [Knowledge] and then you will highlight the most necessary stuff, 'kay?
Yes... it will do. Just a reminder for you to leave at least a 1000 unallocated points. You may want to get the best class there is available.
Oh... and there it will be?
Get [Know it all] and I will tell you.
Boo! Meanie! Anyway let's put to use those 44'338 points... eh... let's use up to 40'000, okay?
…

Why did I left over 9000 points? Because of the class. I decided to go with Polymath, and so I need 5'000 points for it, while for it's variation... I decided to go for a Xenomorpher, that variation costs 3'500 points and have ability to take away the powers of the ones you consume. Did I mention the cool ability to transform? Well... my guess is that other 'Heroes' would have a hard time... well... except that I will, maybe, help Ken... hell I liked those comedies... well actually I liked... ahem... So anyway... I still have more than a thousand points left. Hey Bianca?
What?
What are the uses for the points, besides the ones in increasing stats?
Currently none, but you can exchange them for some items at a later date.
Oh... and what are the powers of Polymath again?
*Sigh*
…
Polymath Class includes all the boons from other 8 classes and their combinations. I don't want to explain it again. Get [Enhanced Memory], it costs around a thousand or so, including the path of evolution.
Come on! You were so kind before upgrade!
No means NO!
… Meanie. OK... hey [Enhanced Memory] costs 999 unallocated points... including all those upgrades... OK... oh and what the mods for Parallel Processing?
[Split Consciousness]. Will Get you another Personality, which will allow handling some tasks, while you will command your body.
So... it's like voice inside my head? Bianca you could do it too!
But I'm unable to use magic, while another Personality can.
So I will get it... how much it costs by the way?
1'000 points.
Sure I'll take it.
…
Hey why's it not-
Working? It's working mate!
What?
What?
Guess What? We are gone completely Crazy!
And now I need to tolerate the two of you.
Hey! At least we're pretty!
…
Ai: “And... you want us to escort her?”
Pyro: “Yep! Will be quite a good training! Oh and Aeshia... if they die... arachnee will perish. Got it?”
Aeshia: “YES!!!” oh... so cute...
Pyro: “Oh and if anyone tries to apprehend you-”
Ai, Kas and Nova: ““Run.””
Pyro: “Good... same goes when enemies are too numerous or strong, so... good luck.”
Ai, Kas and Nova: ““Yes Master!”” why do they act like this?
I guess it has something to do with Charisma.
Bianca?
You're right. Charisma will make all social interactions stronger.
Eh? So I slowly becoming infiltrator?
No Dude! You are becoming a sex symbol!
? Dude... not funny.
It is quite funny actually... you dense MC!
Dense?
Oh come on! Nova is always looking at you with such looks... Surely you noticed it?
She's just nervous 'cause I'm her master.
… Right...
…
So... I'm here talking with the other heroes... including Ken...
Ken: “So... the search haven't got anything?”
JJ: “No. The only thing that happened is that Crime syndicate got busted.”
Zealot: “And? No gold?”
JJ: “No... no gold.”
Pyro: “Hey why do you care? It's not like we got robbed.” what? It's true.
JJ: “Why won't I care? It's people! They were killed or kidnapped! We need to-” again...
Pyro: “Listen here prick. I don't give a shit about those whom I don't know. So do others. If YOU want to find those responsible feel free to do it... for free. I won't pursue them unless I get some compensation or they cross my path. We are already tasked with defeating some demon lord, so I won't get myself anymore stuff to do. Hell with what you told us it seems like some plot either by crown, or those nobles. And I won't get pulled in politics.”
JJ: “YOU!!! I'VE GOT ENOUGH OF YOU! IF YOU DON'T WANT HELP PEOPLE THEN YOU ARE NOT A HERO!”
Pyro: “Didn't I tell you already? I'm a mercenary, not some wannabe hero.”
JJ: “THEN GET LOST!”
Pyro: “And if I won't?”
JJ: “I WILL MAKE YOU!!!” seriously?
Pyro: “Try it.” just as he was ready to unsheath his blade we were interrupted by some guard.
Average Guardian Joe: “Heroes! You must not fight among each other!”
Pyro: “Hello Joe. Don't worry... he'll survive.” and as I said that JJ attacked... and immediately lost his balance, sword, then got kicked in the balls, shattering part of his armor, and got his limbs crushed. What? If he dares to attack me inside the castle, I will punish him. “See? Survived. Now we need medic... can you fetch that old bishop?”
Average Guardian Joe: “Magister Julius?”
Pyro: “That was his name? Yeah whatever... can you either escort that idiot to him, or escort... Julius was it? Escort Julius to this... jerk.”
Average Guardian Joe: “Yes... I will bring hero to him.” and... why do they look at me like that?
Ken: “That was... AWESOME!!! How did you do it?” Ken? Seriously?
Pyro: “Eh... hand-to-hand combat... and getting increased agility is quite cool...”
Random Girl 1:“Were you some sort of monk? You were so clam.” some girl.
Pyro: “Huh? Nope, just regular stuff we got trained in military... except the crushed limbs... my personal preference.” Nope! Actually my preference is burning my target alive, but... they don't need to know it, right?
