“You’ll get more abilities and skill as you level up, so your top priority now is to find a class.”

“Do you have any recommendations? Selana tricked me, and I don’t have the skills or the skill slots to be a knight.”

“I think you should meet with Flow. He lives in this town too.”

Flicker gave him directions to Flow’s house.

When he reached the address, however, the building seemed to have been burned halfway to the ground.

He grabbed one of the passerbys.

“I was hoping to meet with the owner of this house. What happened here?”

“You weren’t told? When the current owner bought the building, the first thing he did was burn it down. Just go on inside.”

Confused, Dali went into the building.

Not seeing anyone inside, he knocked on the wall.

“Hello?” he called.

He heard a noise from the second floor, and then a crash, as someone broke through the ceiling and jumped down to the first floor.

“You called me?”

“Are you Flow?”

“Ah, yes yes yes yes yes I am! Are you Laser?”

“Um, no?”

“Pity, I always thought that would be a nice codename.”

“Why did you burn down your house?”

“It reminds me of home.”

“You home was burned down?”

“No, but I had to leave after it flooded. Consider this my revenge.”

“I was told you could recommend a class for me.”

“What can you do?”

“Show skills to Flow.”

“Hmm, seems to me that you should meet the fifth member of our happy little band. He researches the roll skill.”

“He researches rolling?”

“Oh yes, for example…”

His arm shot out, and he punched Dali in the face.

“Ow! What was that for?!”

“You can use roll to counter attacks! Just roll away from it!”

“What are you talking about?”

“Hit me! Right in the face!”

“Gladly.”

Dali punched him in the face, but the moment his fist connected, Flow rolled backwards with it, doing a flip in place, and landing on his feet.

“Like that, see? He taught me that.”

“And you think he can recommend a class for me?”

“You roll, and you want a class. If anyone would know a good class for rollers, it would be him.”

“Just great, she sends me to them, they send me to you, and you send me to some other guy? Am I actually ever going to get a class out of this?”

“Of course you will! It just won’t be the class you want!”

“Thanks.”

“Fortunately, I called Pinwheel (he’s the fifth member of our group) the moment I heard Trespass’s student was in town. He’s tied up in the basement right now.”

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

“He’s what?!”

“I kid I kid I kid. He’s in the library, and if he’s tied up it’s not my fault. They shouldn’t be doing that in a library.”

“And where is the library?”

“Oh you’ll find it. It’s the fourth biggest building in the city.”

“Got it.”

He left Flicker’s house and ran to the fourth biggest building.

It took him a while to find Pinwheel, but eventually he found him.

He was lying on top of a bookshelf, and would reach down and grab a new book every now and then.

Simply put, he was to weird not to be involved with the other four.

“You’re Pinwheel?”

“Yes I am Pinwheel? And you would be the student. What do you want?”

“I was hoping you could recommend a class.”

“Yessss. A class. I know exactly the class. I always wanted it my self. But you are twice the man I am.”

“What?”

“Not yet, of course, but you will be. Unless you aren’t of course. In fact, I don’t think you will be. You will be half, no a quarter the man I am. Of course, I could be wrong. Somewhere in that range though.”

“Is that a fact?” Dali asked sarcastically.

“Oh yessss it is. A near certainty in fact.”

“Great, so how do I get this class?”

“If you were willing to settle for mediocrity, I could give it to you. However, it doesn’t matter whether you’re willing to settle for said mediocrity, because I am not. So you will have to go on a journey to a certain dungeon I discovered.”

“Where is it?”

“Due south. It’s called the Monument to the Eight Hidden Kings. Look for a signpost”

“Alright, I’ll collect my party and leave immediately.”

“No you won’t. You have to go alone. You also need to take these offering.”

Pinwheel handed him a sack.

“Oh, and you use thrown weapons? For now you should make more, don’t want to run out of them.”

Pinwheel thought for a moment.

“Once you get your class, you should learn more weapon skills. I’ve always said versatility is key.”

And so Dali went south on his own, the beginning of his journey. His goal to get a class.
