… Sapphira has shown you yet another memory.
… One day after the Hatchling Ritual.
Once again I was shown Sapphira wide awake looking at something strange, but before I could tell what I was looking at. The vision shook like crazy and Sapphira began to search for the cause of the disturbance. A loud voice pierced the quietness and soon all the Drazilcins were wide awake and starting at a large bulky Drazilcin.
“Bahahaha! Good! All of you are awake… Except for the Dovia in the back. Bah! Leave him be. I am Pharis, the Drazilcin Elder of all the warriors. I am the holder of the title [Strongest Warrior]. I am here to tell you some important information so listen up, because I won’t say it twice. Your jobs, titles, and of course the most important thing of all…getting stronger by evolving.”
“Woah. This guy sure is loud. What is a Dovia? I get the feeling that this guy isn’t really smart…or rather he doesn’t bother to think about things too hard. No, he is smart. I can tell from his tone and body language. Nothing in his movements and words are wasted. Everything he does is clear and straight to the point. Hmmm… Why did I notice something like this?”
First is Jobs! Jobs are important for everyone in this village. If you look at your Stat Screen, you can see what your Job is. We already gave you Jobs the moment you hatched based on your Stats and Special Skill. You can change or get more Jobs later as you grow up, but only if you meet the requirements to do so. Some Jobs can be combined together to either create an entirely new Job or become a Sub Job.”
“Example a Drazilcin can have the Alchemist Job by combing the Crafter and Gather Job. The Scout job is the combination of the Warrior and the Gather job, because they don’t collect materials, they gather information instead. That is why it becomes a Sub Job instead of a new Job. As long as one has the necessary requirements, they can have as many Jobs as possible, but it becomes increasingly difficult as one gets more and more. We as monster have more freedom when getting Jobs compared to the demi-humans and humans, but we rarely specialize in a specific Job.”
“Demi-humans have fewer jobs they can have at one time, but they can specialize. Example Dwarfs have the Blacksmith Job but they can specialize in what they create with that Job. Humans can have at most two Jobs at one time, but they can change Jobs with no problems and they can specialize as well. Example a human can have the Mage Job, but specialize in fire in which the Job becomes a Fire Mage. Also if the human wanted to, he can change jobs to something else like Arcane Blaze Blacksmith which requires understanding of fire magic and blacksmithing.”
“I am not sure if that is the way he speaks, but it really sounds weird. At least the information itself is educational.”
“Second is Titles. Titles are automatically obtained when preforming an achievement, completing an unknown feat or doing certain actions. It can be given out as a reward like when the Human Kings knight someone or gives out nobility. Not all titles are good ones. They can be insults, maybe funny ones, or to show intimidation. Like the monster species known as Demons. They usually have titles like [Evil], [Chaos Maker], [Malicious Lier], or worse… [The King of Evil].”
“Titles can be good, neutral, bad, or plain weird. Each race has their own unique Titles that only they can achieve. Humans have [Hero], Demi-humans have [Grand Master] which means they are best in whatever they do, Wild Beast have [Astral] and Monsters have [Legendary]. Every living thing like animals, plants, and relics have [Heavenly]. Only non-living things don’t have Titles.”
Stolen novel; please report.
“We know of some Titles that you can earn, but mostly they are mysteriously given and achieved. The Goddess is the one that gives out Titles so you can say that she watches everything. So do be careful on what you do. If you have more than one Title, only the most recently achieved Title is shown in the Stat Screen. You need a special tool to allow you to freely change Titles.”
“There is a Goddess? What is her name? I don’t feel comfortable knowing someone is always watching me. Where is my privacy? Hmmm? What is Privacy?”
“Now the last thing I am going to go over. This is really important and can be complicated. So listen up. Only Monsters and a few other exceptions can “Evolve”, “transform”, or “change” into higher level beings. How to meet the requirements for Monster Evolution is even more mysterious then trying to achieve Titles. All we know is that A LOT of Experience Points also known as EXP is needed to evolve at each stage.”
“The most common evolution branch for an Artic Drazilcin is something like this: Hatchling => Youngling => Mature => Lesser => and then Greater.”
“Incidentally all Elders are Lesser Drazilcin and above. Grand Elder Duleveros is the only current Greater Drazilcin we have in this village. We can even grow wings and become a Winged Artic Drazilcin, but the requirements must be achieved before becoming a Mature Artic Drazilcin.”
“Then the branch Evolution for a Winged Artic Drazilcin would be: Mature Winged => Lesser Winged => Greater Winged => then depending what happens, it can be either a wyvern, or a Draconian which is like a half dragon or nothing happens at all.”
“Each branch Evolution is unique and mysterious in its own way. Environment, Affinity, Ethical Choice, and Experience Points are the main requirements in order to evolve. This is where it gets a bit confusing. A normal Drazilcin that lives near certain environment areas becomes or changes into something else. Example our ancestors moved away from the swamp areas and ended up becoming Artic Drazilcins once they settled here."
“We gained higher Ice Affinity and so from now on, our evolution branch heavily leans toward the Ice Element. Legends has it that once an Drazilcin wandered into a cold region and eventually evolved into an Ice Dragon; However, it spent most of its time flying up in the sky which in turn evolved into a Frost Dragon. Having enough of the open air, it came down and fell in love with the ocean. It evolved once more and became the Legendary Subzero Dragon.”
“Sometimes if the Affinity is balanced and the environment plays a larger role in surviving, Drazilcins are known to become Horned Drazilcin or Armored Drazilcin. Even we Artic Drazilcins can get horns or armor plates. Ethical Choice does play a major part in evolution, but it is more important to species that completely change in who they become. Example once the monster species known as Sprites choose good or bad, they can evolve into either Arch Angles or Arch Demons.”
“All monsters start out neutral but certain evolution branches require beings to choose between good or evil. Yes, you can change back and forth but once you past a certain evolution branch, there is no going back on your Ethical Choice. Be warned that if any Drazilcin in this village becomes evil or good for any reason, they will become exile forever even if you become neutral again. It is one of the laws that has been passed down since our ancestors settled here. It was one of the reasons why our ancestors had to move in the first place.”
“I think I got most of the stuff out of the way, but in case you want to learn more about anything I said. Talk to Grand Elder Duleveros as he has more knowledge about what I said. Now get some rest and become proud warriors for our village. I look forward in training you Hatchlings. No pain, no gain is my motto. Bahahaha!”
“Wow that was a lot of information. I take back in what I said about him. He truly is a battle maniac with some brain. WHY is he sooo loud? I feel like he going to break my hearing. What is wrong with being good or bad? I am curious as to what the real reason why the ancestors left their homeland.”
… Sapphira *Yielding Fragments* has ended.
… Now waking up from forced meditating state.
