All the tribes were gathered on the highway. The Class Core was actually hidden away in a tunnel under the main road. The clan leaders agreed that due to the limited space only they and their close associates would be able to venture down below and see what happened. Despite the limitations, more than five hundred people walked down the road to enter underneath. Thankfully Rose was included in that count and due to Larry’s commendable hard work, he was held in high regard. This meant that the Peacehome Clan representatives were some of the closest to the core. Also, he was the Stafford Tribe leader anyway but it was nice to know their little clan had made such an impact. Upon reaching the core they all came to a stop. There might have been a lot of glowing, but it wasn’t all that impressive overall. It was only the size a basketball, had a crystal-like surface and was of course a light green colour.
Tyler ended up being the one to access it using the excuse that he was the only [LORD] out of all the Clan leaders. Rose guessed he assumed that only the clan leaders could get titles, as they were the only ones he asked about it directly. She snickered to herself while thinking of her own [LADY] title that was equal to his. It was okay. She didn’t want to be in the spotlight anyway. Just give her some things to organise and she could keep herself busy. The moment Tyler touched the core, green text lit up in front of Rose and every other member in the [REGION].

Well, that was a heck of a lot of information at once. The flash of green light that encapsulated everyone for a moment lit up the entire tunnel. The rush of power was also really nice. Before the notifications had even finished appearing though, the people at the front were reaching for the core and the rest were pushing forward. Rose just tried to get some distance. She could wait. Luckily it turned out you didn’t need to keep your hand on the core to make your choices. It was like just touching the core for a moment downloaded the information needed to the software you already had. After less than half an hour Rose finally got her turn. She pressed her fingers to the smooth surface for a few seconds and then walked off as soon as the notifications updated.
You have 2 Class slots, 2 Profession slots, and 10 additional slots.
Only two of the additional slots can be used as Class slots.
You have not attained [LEVEL 15]. Due to this, you are currently unable to select a Class or Profession.
Wow. No one could have mentioned this earlier? What a waste of time!
Shortly after, Martin’s voice entered her head. “Reports have just come in. Even though all residential and commercial buildings are now safe zones, the roads are not. Every five metres, challengers with levels between ten and fifteen are appearing on the streets. On top of that, every intersection has spawned tougher challengers with levels ranging from fifteen to twenty. As we are considered a party with higher levels, we’re being sent to the intersections. We’re not being sent alone though. Jasmine’s team will be joining us to form a group of ten. I’ll mark the meet up point on our [RAID MAP].”
Rose just nodded while listening, then froze mid step. That was a thing? Why hadn’t anyone told her before? Searching for the [RAID MAP] in her tabs, she found it right away. All well, you learn something new every day. Finally exiting the tunnel, Rose led her companions to the location on the [MAP]. The journey hadn’t been an easy one. Both she and her wolves had gained levels fighting some [LEVEL 11] and [LEVEL 12] hobgoblins. There was also a [LEVEL 13] [GREATER IMP] at their intended destination that Jasmine’s team assisted in putting down. All foes had refused the offer of surrender. To her surprise, Kaito was now on Jasmine’s team. This was going to be an interesting evening.

What was up with the Skill points? She couldn’t find the tab to access them anywhere. Maybe it would come up later. For now, she just added the spare points to [AGILITY] and [DEXTERITY], two points each. Rose had been the first of her party to arrive, but shortly afterwards Martin and Emily showed up. Then another ten minutes later Fred and Neil walked up too, though Neil appeared to be a bit bruised in places.
The plan was simple. Dodge around the lower levelled challengers and leave them for the few fighters that were still under level five. Take out the higher levelled challengers that were transported to intersections. And do it all while making their way back home. There were only a few more hours until sundown after all.
