'Hmmm... There's options in my First-Class Advancement!' Aaron thought while checking the details on each of the 3 holograms.
Wizard : Highest Damage output among all three Magic-related First Job-Advancement
'That's to be expected, I choose Magic specifically for this reason.'
Cleric : Highest Support and Survival-rate among all three Magic-related First Job-Advancement
'I do appreciate the idea of having better chances of survival but healers are extremely famous for being extremely weak and practically impossible to solo!
'I do have others surrounding me which opens the window for me to use these support abilities of this Cleric Class.
'But I'm stronger than all of them which makes it a bad choice.'
Summoner : Most balanced among all three Magic-related First Job-Advancement
'I have nothing against balance since it covers all shortcomings like my HP bar, my Agility-related Stats, and my Strength and Vitality-related Stats are all ridiculously-low!
'I've gotten so used to chugging Potions and Pills to compensate for these weaknesses to the degree where I feel like I'm some sort of extremely slow and lazy turtle which got stripped down of its own shell which left it physically weaker than an ant.'
System : Requirements met for Hidden-Class
'What's that?' Aaron's eyes shone with curiosity and he looked at the notification window where there's four check marks in front of the four conditions required to unlock said Hidden-Class.
First condition is for the Host to gain access to the Skill-Branch of Neutral-Class Skills.
Second condition is for the Host to gain access to a version of the System which is at least upgraded once.
Third condition is for the Host to have more than one Evolved Neutral-Class Skill.
Fourth condition is for the Host to have a constitution blessed with a Bloodline.
Sorcerer : A Spellcaster blessed with Magic from an inherit Bloodline, naturally gifted in manipulating Elements
"Shit!" The kid was so shocked by the lack of explanation and glared at the notification window in front of him.
Unlike the three Job-Advancements before this Sorcerer Hidden-Class, it merely mentioned that his Bloodline is somehow related to Magic and he's gifted in manipulating the Elements!
'No!' The kid suddenly looked at the four conditions once again then calmly sank into deep thoughts while gesturing for his Personal-Guards to be at ease since his sudden shout startled them and the soldiers started looking all around vigilantly searching for enemies.
'Having a Bloodline is merely one of four requirements, but I'm not really gifted in manipulating the Elements.
'I remember the first time I had access to the Passive-Resistance Menu all of my Elemental-Resistance would've probably been lacking the percentage increase if it weren't for my Skills boosting them!
'Especially the Mana Armor and Magic Guard Skills which gave me +7% and +14% to Water and Air-Resistance.
'I really wouldn't be surprised at all if the +4% to Fire-Resistance I had was because of these two Defensive-Skills or because I managed to gain the Elemental-Skill of Flame Orb itself once I ate the Solar Heart of the Twilight Deer.
'The Elemental-Resistance which I really am considered blessed in is actually the Chaos-Resistance which was a grade higher than the rest from the very beginning and is related to one of the most useful Skills on my Skill-Tree so far.
'There's also the second condition of upgrading the System itself into a better version which gave me the benefit of using the Store at a much lower price.
'So I'm guessing without having this benefit it'd break the Sorcerer Character, without that advantage it'd be extremely difficult to show its unique brilliance.
'Which takes me to the first and third conditions which clearly shows a direct link since it not only required for the Skill-Branch of the Neutral-Class Skills to be unlocked but also required for at least one Evolved Skill on top of that.
'It's a great risk but it's a risk I'm willing to take because I still have some sort of "Nemesis" which I'm completely left in the dark about what sort of identity said Nemesis of mine does have.'
*Om*
Once Aaron choose to accept the First Class-Advancement and switch from a Magician and become Sorcerer, his eyes glowed with many colors while a diagram spread more than 90 Meters everywhere around him pushing everything away.
Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.
Even the extremely heavy Poisonous Stone-Centipedes were pushed aside as if they weigh less than a feather!
Lucy, Heena, and Nina were startled awake from their advancement once they sensed their bodies getting rudely sent flying.
But quickly their eyes focused on the formation spreading from the kid's body and all 3 of the Whispering Sisters were mesmerised by the lines, runes, and inscriptions on it.
Somehow looking at this extremely complicated formation helped them finally comprehend what they were lacking to take that final step in their advancement to the Exploration-Grade.
Before their pets could react and move parts of their bodies to receive their masters before they hit the ground and break some bones, these three beautiful women suddenly stopped mid-air and hovered in the same place.
Thankfully the boy's Personal-Guards were quickly caught by Nephrite's Royal-Guards after all of them got sent flying at a much higher speed since they were standing so close to their young master Ron and weren't expecting something like this to happen at all.
All of them watched from a distance as that massive formation kept shrinking in size while growing more detailed and colorful.
Aaron's eyes were shining in similar colors as the ones in the diagram, sometimes they'd be glowing red like burning fire, deep blue like calm water, pure white like frozen ice, vital green like a blooming forest, healthy brown like nutritious earth, or ghastly transparent which frightened all who saw him suddenly stare at them with empty eye-sockets.
*Crackle*
There was also a time when the kid's eyes turned completely black after losing all their white before lightning crackled in the sky but everyone could see a lot of that lightning fleetingly within the Pitch-Black Darkness of this pair of eyes!
Afterwards his eyes became completely white and started to glow like a pair of miniature suns and even the 3 beauties felt the urge to bow down and kneel while being in the presence of this boy which felt so pure and holy.
Of course their 3 Poisonous Stone-Centipedes, Paws, Nephrite, and her Royal-Guards were lying flat on their bellies while shivering from fear.
Even the rain falling from the sky and drenching all of them was bending at an angle before falling anywhere but on Aaron who remained standing in the same place, of course his 10 Personal-Guards were on their knees already and staring at him with shock and fear with a touch of fanaticism deep within their eyes.
Finally the whiteness shifted but this time the 3 Honorable Sisters had to retreat more than 50 more Meters away from the kid because the pressure they felt was about to force them to bend their knees and kneel.
Instead of having a single color in these eyes of his, the boy's eyes started to become a mess of all colors going all at once.
The colorful show within his eyes continued while the diagram on the ground shrank before becoming the size of a hand below Aaron's feet then flickering on and off while through his clothes everyone could see a similar diagram surrounding his beating heart in what appears to be a cage of absolute Darkness which felt both eery and revolting to look at!
Simply because the bars of this cage of Darkness were barped and their thorns were deeply piercing the kid's heart while deep at the bottom was a group of delicate-looking chains which the dripping blood kept falling on them and their shiny black links greedily drank the boy's Heart-Blood almost immediately.
The most noticeable detail was the long and fine line of Darkness connected to one of these chains and leading all the way South until their sight got blocked by the forest itself.
*Crack*
The group watched as one of these barbed bars on the cage of Darkness received a crack down the middle then it climbed all the way up before fragmenting like broken glass then disappearing.
The thorns from that bar got pushed out from Aaron's heart and the wounds quickly healed immediately afterwards.
*Rattle*
The delicate chains at the bottom of the cage started moving which made an annoying clinking sound but immediately afterwards everything changed because both diagrams disappeared and the group could no longer feel the pressure of see the situation within the kid's chest!
"Was that?"
"Exactly."
Heena asked and Nina nodded before flying towards the boy who looked pale white in the face yet smiled extremely widely from excitement.
"Uh!"
"Shhh... Just... Consider it my thanks for helping my team advance." Right when Aaron was about to complain about getting his face stuffed in Nina's chest without a warning, the beauty hugged him tighter and patted his back while saying so ever so gently.
"Me too! Take my thanks." Lucy flew towards his back and hugged both of them.
Heena smirked before joining the group hug.
*Meow*
Paws came running as if to complain about being left out from this cuddly business!
The kid's Personal-Guards were happy to see this sight but deep within their chests there was this simmering anger which kept growing in size, simply because what they saw just earlier was beyond cruel.
Despite being burdened with something like that, so far their young master Ron was always smiling and taking care of everyone around him without ever complaining once about his own fate.
They witnessed with their own eyes how hard he works to improve himself everyday, during their sparring session with him they noticed how serious he take his training despite being so young.
The ones among his Personal-Guards who thought their fate was cruel and that life was unfair and harsh to them like Aran, Aria, Baroq, Beryl, Gri, Rusty, and Elwin were feeling deeply ashamed of themselves.
Simply because none of them were in a situation anywhere near as miserable and glum as their young master Ron when they were five years old they were playing around with kids around their age while completely oblivious of everything that's going in this world.
Seeing him getting hugged by the three beauties was the least someone like him deserves in life.
"I'm going to follow this boy to the ends of the world if I have to... I'll bash the skull of whoever did this to him even if they weren't thieves!" Gri said while tightening her grip on the wonderful Weapon which this boy gave her.
Her comrades nodded while feeling a lot more united under this goal.
Meanwhile Aaron was getting squeezed by more tits than he could really enjoy fully but he enjoyed these cushions anyway while checking his Stats window.
'Earlier once I reached Level 20 I already noticed that I gained 1 Point increase to the Strength, Vitality, and Agility Attributes while my Wisdom Attribute gained an increase of 2 Points but the clear difference was that the Intelligence Attribute gained an increase of 3 Points.
'Counting that I already gained 8 Ability Points for free which got automatically allocated to my Basic Five-Attributes plus 5 Ability Points that I get to add wherever I like was a huge difference compared to before where I only gained 5 Ability Points and that's it.
'The only thing that annoyed me was how the Skill Points were decreased from 3 per Level-UP to only 2 Skill Points, but I guess that's because Leveling-UP is only going to become a lot difficult which means I get to spend a lot of time between Levels which means using my Skills a lot more and accumulating Proficiency Points in higher numbers.
'But I wasn't expecting such a huge all-over increase to practically everything, I guess that's one of the benefits of this Sorcerer Hidden-Class.' Aaron thought while smiling and inhaling the sweet smell of Nina's body before opening the most important window.
Of course the Skill-Menu is the one he's most excited to see right now!
