She sat on of the chairs in the room. I snuggled to be comfortable on the ground gigantic pet bed.

¨As I said. We need to talk. I want to ask many questions¨

¨Yes I know. I should answer all of your questions. They told me that, don’t worry¨

Doesn’t really seem that happy about it but I guess that’s fine. I can also feel the emotions in the words. It Is just that she isn’t so nice towards me. At least we are being somewhat honest to each other.

¨Alright Lilia… do you have a class?¨

I need to know about this asap. Obviously that should be my first priority.

¨Yes I do. Most of us do¨ She said that as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Great. That’s good, probably isn’t that hard to get a class. She did however said most of us and not all of us.

¨Who doesn’t have a class?¨

¨Mostly children… but even they have a class, usually very early¨

Oh so it should be super easy to get a class… nice. Still if it is that easy then why couldn’t I get it myself?

¨Is there a requirement to get a class?¨

She is being a bit puzzled by something…

¨Felix? Why do you care about classes so much? Monsters cannot get a class…¨

Urgh… so it is because of this huh? Just answer my damn questions…

¨Yes I am aware. Still I am curious and want to know, please answer¨

It is kinda funny that she has trouble answering such simple questions. I mean I know she just doesn’t think it is important for me but still.

A bit annoyed she replies.

¨There are too many specific requirements. If we are talking about all classes I could spend many generations just telling you all of them and how to get them¨ She paused a little bit…

¨That wouldn’t even be all of them because not even humans know all of them and they are known for the best knowledge of the system there is… however… race, age, religion, genes, education and environment you are born in is the most important element when it comes to get your class, especially as a child¨

Well that was quite a bit… interesting answer. So even my age and belief will make difference on class huh? Would make sense to some degree I guess.

¨Okay and how do you know what class to get?¨ I really need to know that.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

¨Well usually you are going to get some advice what to get from parents or from those that know you. Even personally some of your likes are important and you can decide based on that…¨

Oh my god I formulated my question wrong… oh well.

¨No I said it wrong, I wanted to know how do you know you already met the requirements and how to get it then?¨

At this point I am fairly certain that Lilia is absolutely disappointed by our chat.

¨Listen Felix. I am not an expert on the classes but it really shouldn’t matter to you at all. Monsters cannot get a class. Period¨

God dammit. Just answer the damn question!!!

¨Listen Lilia…. I am not an expert on mermaids but it really shouldn’t matter to you at all what matters to me. Just answer my goddamn question. Period¨

Lilia was getting pissed. I think she still has some problems talking to a monster but holy shit, please just answer my goddamn question. So close and yet so far. I just want to know how to get my class. Jeez.

¨Please Lilia. Answer me¨

¨Once you met all the requirements you wouldn’t know normally. You need to either remember you did it or randomly do it and then check for it. The first case is simple because you don’t need any confirmation you already met the requirements, the second you use a special rune for that. We call them status runes and they are very good in telling you your personal information. There are two kind. First is general status. That’s for checking your vitals, skills or levels and information about your body in general. The second is class runes, those will show you classes you currently have unlocked or are possible to advance¨

Jesus that was a long answer. I don’t think she ended either.

¨The class runes specifically are important to get your class because it doesn’t matter what you think you achieved. Sometimes system doesn’t acknowledge things for various reasons. That’s why they are important to check if you got what you needed. But even they are worthless for knowing the class you can get because they show only classes you currently have unlocked and possible to get, this is literally common sense about the process. Everyone knows how this works¨

She still seems intent on continuing…..

¨Now… lets assume you already have a class picked and the status rune shows it. Which is the hardest part because it will show only fully unlocked classes. It doesn’t show requirements or partially unlocked classes. There will also literally be just word written sometimes, that doesn’t even tell you anything about the class. For example Joker. You can assume all you want but it could be very different. Mostly it isn’t. But there is countless of these classes. So with your class requirements met… you go to a place of power or a person with the skill to unlock your class¨

I am almost about to stop her but damn I wonder for how long can she continue. I am still interested but her monotone talk is a bit meh. She makes super small pauses probably to just breath and continues relentlessly.

¨Usually religious people will have the power to advance or unlock a class inside of you. Not always but it is common. They also take money for that, not that it would matter to a monster that has neither possibility to get class or money. Alternatively you can find the place of power. They are scattered in the world and I am sure some of them are in the dungeon as well. These places will give you a chance to pick your class as well. It will be very weird because normally we cannot interact with our status only monsters can to some degree¨

She looks at me as if I almost murdered her and to some degree I think she just committed huge mental suicide by doing this….

¨Now Felix… Was that satisfactory answer?¨

I swear she seems as If she already forgot what she was talking about… haha I guess it is that basic for them. Give me some break I cannot simply know rules of different dimension simply by existing.

¨Yes Lilia thank you, very helpful. I want to sleep a bit for now. Either stay and guard me or get there later. We will talk some more¨

She decided to stay… I don’t know if she is testing me but I don’t really mind. I don’t think they will hurt me anymore. I must also admit that looking at her body I am a bit horny…. But I wouldn’t even know where to begin and how.

Anyways I decided to go sleep.

I need some mental break from all this. So I doze off.
