Jake followed as Benjamin led him to the central square where the class orb was. He marveled at the architecture of the capital; he was informed that roughly 500 thousand people lived here.There were a lot of buildings seemingly glued together all built from sandstone , at least 2 stories tall with terraces and textile canvases on the roof to block out the sun.
Benjamin had told him that they had a schedule for him with 2 tutors. One to teach him about the world and the other to teach him about combat. They would travel to a city called Qasioun because there is a low leveled dungeon there that would help level him.It appears that every level u gain u gain 1 stat point , and that most classes grant 3 times +5 to stats so he lucked out on his choses class giving him and extra 10 stats.
After marveling a bit more about the architecture and the people walking around they arrived at the city square where the orb was situated. There was a small queue of young people preparing to choose their class. As he was waiting he was still acclimating to the world. It seems 10 base stats was the average human on modern earth because as he was looking around people were hauling heavy items as if they were nothing. People also seemed to use the magic to create neon-like sights to advertise their shops and wares, he also saw a rich merchant summoning a coin pouch out of seemingly nowhere.
But it was finally his turn and he put his hand on the class orb: and he got an overwhelmingly long list of classes , ranging from soldier to carpenter and a lot of {Prefix} mage classes , like Earth Mage , Fire Mage , Ice mage etc. But he was advised to pick mage classes as a second or third class because there were alot of intricacies with magic that take a long time to learn. So as advised he chose the Adventurer Class.
Class: Adventurer
Explore the world and fight monsters.
+5 to Strength , Dexterity and Vitality.
U get the Identify Skill
The time you need to sleep is decreased by 25%(The higher you’re Vitality the greater the effect)
Skill Identify:
Can be used to identify creatures and magical items. Information depended on Level
Jake’s body felt weird , a ticklish feeling spread all over him from the increased stats.
They told him that most people choose adventurers for the sleep bonus and identify , because identify showed the classes of people up to a limit of people 50 levels above you. This was used to guard against infiltrators and more unsavory classes.

After choosing his class they went to his 1st tutor’s house , she was named Maria and was a teacher for nobles. After they picked up Maria they went to David an level 100 adventurer/ guard who would be Jake's combat instructor. After that he was given a room at the palace to sleep and rest so they could start on their travel to Qasioun tomorrow. The distance was about 150 km and it would take them 2 days. After cramming all the information of today in his head and looking back at his life with his special memory Jakes eyes shut down as he drifted away.
He woke up early in the morning around 5 am thanks to his class feeling fresh. When he opened his door he saw that there was already some food prepared for him , some bread eggs and sausage. After breakfast he took a shower and freshened up. They had given him new clothing and a bag with some adventuring gear. Flint , healing salves , a pot , and some special kind of coal called flamewood , apparently a small piece of it around the size of a marble could burn for around an hour to cook a meal. A spear , and some very dry biscuits which had a decently long shelf life.
He was given a spear because it was a good starter weapon. He was not given armor yet , that would be given after training. As he was checking everything out Benjamin , David and Maria entered the room. This would be farewell for Benjamin; he would sadly not be joining on the expedition.Jake shook hands with Benjamin and bade him farewell. Then he, Maria and David started their journey to Qasioun.
As they left the gates Maria and David started to tell a bit about themselves, Maria was 50 years old but still very fit , the average lifespan seemed to be about a 100 years with points above a vitality 100 increasing it slowly. Most teachers pumped their vitality so they could live longer to keep on teaching longer and learning stuff to teach. Maria’s last name was even Teacher because her parent and grandparents followed the same road. Teachers generally went with a combination of adventurer , teacher and librarian. This allowed them less sleep , more information retention and a longer lifespan. All to gather knowledge and share it with the world.
David was born in a small village named Kamon , He had a combination of Adventurer , Soldier and Explorer. This allowed him to be proficient at combat and exploring , this was also why he at the age of 60 years old was also very fit. He had joined the adventurer guild at 15 and stayed there for 10 years. Then at 25 he was drafted into the army which he retired from at the age of 50. He was tutoring at the request of the King. The king’s classes were closely guarded but it is suspected that he was at least level 200 because almost no one can identify him and it's rumored he pumped Vitality because he has already reached age 200.
Jake briefly explained how he grew up as an orphan studies history and went on and became a teacher. Before his demise and he came upon this world. They advised him not to disclose that he was from another world because it was not widespread that the temple of Solaris could summon a hero. He was the first one as far as they knew. So they crafted a backstory how he was a promising youth from the same border village as David.
