Chapter 14: Home Sweet Home

Kacper POV

Home sweet home, well not sweet more derelict cockroach infested ruins that I have to sleep in for survival. The school stands out in stark contrast to the forest a grey slab of concrete and metal dropped in the middle an ancient forest. I give it at most 20 years before it falls apart, I mean half of the school has already turned into rubble. There are too many safety hazards someone more importantly me, I could fall on those pylons or twist my ankle by taking one wrong step.

Well I guess lady luck is smiling at us I mean what where the chances we would find the school before we were murdered by a wandering band of green midgets?

On that note I stop my inner monologues. I need clothes otherwise I am going to freeze to the death, or I could be shanked either way it’s a bitch and a half to die. I start walking slowly weaving through the rubble covered ground avoiding the holes and trying not to smash my toe. At the front door I am greeted with a log to my face.

Then I am on the floor screaming and cursing my misfortune holding my broken nose, I hear someone rushing down the hallway and get to see Quikly standing above me. As Quikly stops in front of me I cover my privates and try to give him a death glare. It isn’t easy to be intimidating when you are a naked albino laying down on the ground covered in blood.

Quikly gives a quick glance at Pix but then turns to stare at me “Kacper?”

With bile in my voice I answer “Do you know another human? Of course, it’s me!”

Shaking his head, he turns around and starts walking “Get some furs and meet me on the roof. Mind the trap.”

I shout after him “Aren’t you going to ask me how am I alive?” He doesn’t bother to answer as he turns the corner.

Pix just stares at me as I get up releasing my nose as blood drips down. I look at the log trap as I pick up Jagg, for the hell of it I use him to cut the rope holding the log, I grin.

That’s just petty and sad.

Well in the immortal words of Tallahassee said “Gotta enjoy the little things.”

Stop quoting movies or I will…

What will you do? What the hell can you do?

I can start singing Tilli Tilli Bom.

Is that all you got?

Fuck you asshole!

Smirking at my minor victory and ignoring Quikly I head to the lost and found room. Opening the room, I look around and my mood drops, I was expecting something more then rags. I can’t see Pix but I would bet my life she is barely holding in her laughter. Grabbing the nearest shirt that seems to be my size, slightly too small and lacking a few buttons. The trousers are stained but otherwise there aren’t any problems. Another shitty thing is that there are no socks and the shoes are all three sizes too small, fuck my bigfoot feet.

Disappointed I leave the cupboard on the way grabbing a black coat that looks the least damaged, it’s a bit big but it has very large pockets so that’s great. Pix just cackles as she sees me stepping out.

What?

What are you wearing? You look like a meth dealer who fell into a bag of cocaine?

I pat myself down and give a quizzical look at her. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

Come on you have that crazy look from crying and having a bloody nose. Your clothes make you look like a poor drug dealer who is so high on his own supplies that he forgot to get a wash.

I look at her and I am about to say something when Jagg speaks up “He reminds me more of a dishevelled plebeian living in a ditch wasting what little he has on a quick fix.”

See even Jagg agrees with me!

I look at Pix and say, “Turn off hologram mode.” Her body flickers out of existence and I smile but my smile turns into a frown as she starts shouting insults, I tune her out and look at Jagg “I preferred when you were quiet, you judgmental piece of crap.” He doesn’t respond and returns to his brooding quiet. Just fucking great.

I sigh and touch my nose wincing at the pain. Thankfully it stopped bleeding, I seriously need to level up faster a simple log trap did serious damage to me. Pix can you give me more details on the class system for me?

This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

Why the fuck would I want to have a body? I am perfectly happy inside here I mean its dark, cold and small. What more could I want?

You didn’t have to insult me. Plus, we both know you can toy with me better if I can see you.

So, you think I am a cheap whore that likes to abuse others because I get turned on by it?

Yes, I have never doubted that.

Yep, your correct release me from the constraining insides of your flesh.

Shaking my head, I smile even as I say, “God fucking dammit.” Her body is rebuilt in front of me and as I notice she looks different. Fighting my creeping blush, I turn away and shout “Put some clothes on!”

Alright, no need to get your dick in a twist.

I turn to look back at her “That’s not a- I hate you.” She is standing next to me dressed as a teacher with a crop and a whiteboard floating slightly behind her. She is wearing black heels and a stereotypical black suit for a teacher emphasising her large assets and body. She has a slight tan and her blonde hair reaches her shoulders, more importantly she towers above me giving me a smug smile. Annoying amazon I don’t like being smaller than someone even though I am quite tall. Pix hits the board with a riding crop, what’s the point of this?

As we both know there exist a total amount of class slots any creature can posses which are split into four types Combat, Job, Monster and Bug. Only civilized beings can possess Combat classes from what little information we were given by the System and Quikly. All beings have access to a limited amount of Job class, from going through my functions I know humans can have at most 5 Jobs and 6 Combat on average with a rare mutation or bloodline providing a extra class. What I just showed you is the highest number of slots a human can possess without some boon from a very powerful being of course they can possess less, but they always have at least three, doesn’t matter from what.

Wait that doesn’t seem fair I mean wouldn’t combat class holder have a gigantic advantage over Job users?

Yes, but job users don’t have a level cap they need to break through to access other classes/jobs and only about 1 in 20 possess a combat class. Combat classes are randomly assigned but bloodlines of heroes and nobles seem to possess a higher chance of gaining a class. She smacks the board with the crop to emphasise this. Job users can never be as strong as a combat class however they increase your skill growth and gain abilities correlated with their job every ten levels. Another bonus is that every five levels they gain a free stat point, but it is restricted to the stats the correlates with the Job.

So, I can only gain a combat or job when I reach lv 50?

She nods and points to the board as it changes to show a troll, deer and a human. Monster classes are possessed by beings that are considered uncivilized meaning animals or feral humans and some goblins can have a Monster class. This class does not grant Abilities it gives access to Powers which do not need a resource meter like mana or energy and instead have a cooldown. The board changes showing a Troll losing his arm to a warrior, but it instantly gets back up and attaches itself to the stump. A deer appears with its mouth splitting into three parts as it swallows a rabbit, chewing and ripping the rabbit apart. Another image is of a human that is being attacked by a bunch of goblins his hands turns to claws and he starts breathing fire, he then attacks lacerating goblins and cooking them. If I had something like that, I would be able to kill even more goblins, I smile as I think about ripping the goblin chieftains head.

Snapping her fingers in front of me she smiles seductively and starts speaking again. Glitch classes are class that break the system, but no one knows how you can gain them. They grant abilities that are OP and need serious nerfing. A good example would be Dr Manhattan or Saitama.

Can’t give me a hint about Glitch classes?

Unless you want to be blown to little bits, not in the kinky way.

Well that is a fucking disappointment anything else I should know?

Classes can be gained through having stats, items, classes or doing something “amazing”. You know very basic and not a very original system I think you get it. Let’s get on to the fun classes like Stud, Bard, Model or maybe the Prostitute class. If we cut of your dick and add some fake boobs you could gain the rare class Lady of the Night. Come on you have 5 Jobs and 7 Combats you can spare one!

Giving her a deadpan look, I say, “We done?” She gives me an annoyed look before making the board disappear and floats up to me giving me a glare, I smirk at this and salt the wound. “Also change back to your original form I don’t like bimbos.” Her teacher clothes disappear, and her body returns to normal but her body looks slightly more feminine, with the same shirt but different words “I could have been a sexy teacher, but my creator has shitty tastes.” I return to walking with her behind me, this is what I needed someone I can be dick to without suffering any reprisals.

Opening the door, I step out onto the roof as I stretch and smile feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin. I walk to the edge where Quikly is standing and staring at something in the distance. I stand behind him trying to notice whatever he is looking at but the only thing I see is the forest and buildings, I think its blurry? Ignoring that I tap his shoulder trying to get his attention, however he just ignores me.

I look back at the village and say out loud “How the hell did I not notice it?”

Your Perception stat is so low you need someone to point it out for you to notice. Placing her hand on my shoulder and pointing with her finger. Look closer at the village there is smoke coming out of it.

Jagg chimes in unexpectedly “They are preparing for a hunt most likely to kill you for escaping their chieftain. As expected of mongrels they create violence wherever they go.”

“So, are you going to talk to me or are you going to just pop in every know and then to tell me how fucked I am?” Jagg stays quiet, well at least he told me something useful that’s a good first step. I sigh and look at Pix who is floating above Quikly trying to get a better look. A small smile creeps on my face at least I know she can't betray me after all she is me. I have to prepare whatever is happening could affect us. I turn and start walking down the stairs Pix follows after me with a concerned look.
