"Wow, you look lovely my dear. I'm sure when you pictured yourself as a witch you didn't think that you would look this good? But this, this is how I always imagined you and you look lovely dear." I told her.

"You really think I look that good. I think it's a little trampy for my taste." She said. "But it does accentuate my feminine appeal, and I'll deal with it if it can make my sexy wolfman berserker fall even more in love with me." Michelle looked just a little bit embarassed. She was cute when she was embarassed. This softer side of her is why I stayed with her.

She had legs for days with this clothing item equipped and she had an ample rear and bossom that was making the caveman part of my brain go all in a tizzy. She was hot plain and simple, she liked looking hot, but maybe she looked too hot for her own liking. This was something that was extremely possible but it was strange seeing the always poised and confidant Michelle react like this to her own body.

Fighting through her tough exterior to get to her softer side made everything all the more worth it when it did show.

The TLDR? Her blush is cute, it's cute when she's embarassed and right now she was looking simply adorable. And getting to comfort her during the times when she was the sigh girl from when we first met and not the corporate business woman that she became made being her boyfriend all the more worth it.

There was one thing that I knew when looking at her. This was someone I must simply protect. I don't know if it was her witch self coming through or something but I knew deep in my heart that we would make quite the battle couple. I could sense from her energy that she could simultaneously hold her own and that she would rely on my sheer power and endurance plus my many blood based skills to balance her out.

"I think you look simply ravishing dear, I could just eat you up. You're making me fall for you all over again." I said.

"Meaning there was a section of our relationship when you weren't in love with me" She said.

Oh shit, I think I really talked myself into a corner this time. I just have to wait for what she says to make my final judgement.

"That stat sheet makes me think you'll be just like those sexy barbarians and berserkers that we used to watch on TV togeher when we were younger." She said.

"Hercules, He-man, Lion-O, and the like." She said. "I'm not going to lie to you I like those characters a lot and they really turn me on. Why don't you put on your gear so I can see the finished product.

"I would but I want to wait for everyone to be done with showing each other their status sheets in order to put on my costume. Afterall, you know what they say... save the best for last right? And I'm nothing if not the best am I not." I said to her rather smugly knowing that this would cause he to roll her eyes.

She rolls her eyes right on cue.

"So without further ado we get to the leading lady" I say bowing over to Melanie Chang.

"Well, don't think that I won't of any use to the party. But I'm not as impressive as you or Michelle there. Still, I have a pretty vital role in the party I'm the party's healer, specifically I deal with buffs debuff and the channeling of chi energy and stuff like that. Basic martial arts healer type stuff. My class is called a "combat medic" and it's a specialized class just for me from the goddess Sophia, just as I suppose yours is from the God Fenrir."

"So you're like what a dragon ball Z type warrior or something along those lines? A monk class like in Final Fantasy, able to land devastating blows with your bare fists and a white mage healer all in one." I was really impressed.

"Well... it's not all that impressive," Melanie thought, "It certainly does get to be that impressive in the later levels of my character's development, but for right now it's actually pretty mediocre, It's part of the reason that I don't really want to show you guys. It's not something I'm really proud of and just taking my job as a doctor in the real world and applying game mechanics onto it is frankly kinda lazy."

[Sophia: Hey, I heard that. Look little missy just because you don't like it doesn't mean I didn't spend my hard earned time and energy on it. You're a vital part of your party's team too afterall and the role of combat medic has some unique perks.]

I saw Sophia interject on Melanie's screen. It must have kinda pissed her off that Melanie thought so little of the time and energy that she had put into making the character class especially for her.

"I'll bite so what are some of these perks that Sophia is telling you about Melanie" I asked rather curious.

"Well, to tell you the truth I have a completely different system than the rest of you guys. What I'm using is the energy of the Tao, the energy of Ying and Yang and chi and life force and as such it's much different but still similar to western mana." Said Melanie.

"For starters, my abilities weak though they maybe doesn't really cost any MP, furthermore, I get a passive healing to both MP and HP if I choose to use some of the flashier moves and I choose to borrow from MP to augment my abilities as a monk." Said Melanie. "All of my skills are outgrowths of the things I can do regardless of if I use a skill or not, but if I use a skill it will be all the more powerful."

[Sophia: Did you know that at the final stages you'll be able to control the very forces of life and death, good and evil, and manipulate the flow of tao energies in the immediate environment like it's nobody's business. True to get there you might have to do a little more grinding than most and I'm oing to tell you right now that the path isn't going to be easy. But I think you can handle it.]

"So what's this I hear about you having to grind more than us?" I asked Melanie, and what was that about having a different system than us.

"My system is going to be about developing my internal energies, I'll have to constantly spend time in meditation if I want to master my abilities. And if that wasn't enough I'll constantly be tested through my knowledge of how chi works throughout the body, constantly learning new martial arts moves from spiritual mentors who are spirits of martial arts masters long past and the like." Melanie chimed in.

"That doesn't sound too bad" I told her, "Just because you have a different class than us doesn't mean that you'll be completely useless on the battlefield." I put a hand on her back trying to cheer her up.

"In fact, your system seems quite interesting and a lot more malleable than our system. I bet that you'll be able to learn a lot of different martial arts techniques and skills. You might even end up being able to have a skill for every situation."

"Yeah, that's why I'm not immediately dumping this class, plus the manipulating of Yang energies to heal and Yin to cause damage is extremely interesting to me. However, the real interesting stuff comes from the Yin Yang magic which will occur when the energies are balanced in certain ways."

"This balancing of the Yin-Yang energies sounds a lot like Feng Shui to me." I told her. "Still this is intriguing stuff, so do you have two separate skill trees for both combat and healing schools?"

"Precisely that, and I'll need to be able to get good at both to get the maximum use out of this class. It's really a lot like martial arts and chinese medicine philosophies in real life. My parents studied that a lot despite both being engineers instead of doctors and so I learned a little bit about the various acupuncture and accupressure nodes on the body when I was younger. I didn't think it would come in useful in my adult life, especially not too save the world. I thought that it was all folksey mumbo-jumbo." Melanie told me.

"I will still level the same as everyone else when I defeat a boss and my base stats will level along with everyone's as well. But to actually learn anything past the basics of the moves I want to use I'm going to have to learn and practice on my own." Melanie sighed.

"Still you're up for the task, I knew you when you put in all that hard work in college and medical school and graduated college in half the time and only took three years for medical school even when you went to one of the best programs in our local area." I told her. I mean so what if she had to learn both her martial arts and her chi manipulation magic on her own. She's done harder stuf than this, sure it wasn't going to be an easy road ahead of her Sophia had even aaid that she gave Melanie this class because she knew that she could handle it. "You're like wonder woman, you can do anything. I believe in you."

"You want to see my stat sheet? It's pretty mid but the abilities are pretty unique for sure.

They all revolve around either channeling ying-yang tao energy or chi and lifeforce." She told me.

"Sure, I'd love to see your stat sheet." I told her.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"Here, don't say I didn't warn you, you know about how mid it is?" She said.

{Chi Manipulation Novice: You are a novice at Chi manipulation but still very much capable of it, you can remove poisons and status debuffs from someone's body by manually removing it through the flow of life force that permeates the universe and your body as well as the ability to tap into your allie's own healing energies to heal their body just by subtlely manipulating the flow of chi. Cantrip. ]

[Chi Projectile: You may launch your own life energy as a projectile however large or small and the properties of this projectile rely on you and the purposes of you using it, you may even direct the trajectory of the projectile effectively making this a homing attack. Cantrip. You may only target a single opponent.]

[Chi Weapon Creation: You may create weaponry out of your own chi that you may use in combat that will have the same effective properties as those real weapons since you are essentially mimicking the very soul of that weaponry with your own chi manipulation ability.]

[Chi healing aura: This is a passive aura of Ying and Chi energy that passively heals all of your allies for 10 hp per minute they spend within your energy field. This is always on and is a passive ability that doesn't drain MP. You can also heal all of your enemies for 300 HP all at once at the cost of all your mana and inability to use your healing aura for an hour's time.]

[Chi Energy Node Manipulation: You can see the energy nodes on a person's or creature's body and use this knowledge of their chi nodes and chi networks to either enhance your allies abilities giving them access to as much as 5x the damage that they would normally output if an operation is successful or destroy and hamper an enemies abilities if your operation on their energy nodes is sucessful useful when paired with the Snake Style of pressure point destruction.]

[Snake Style Novice- You have mastery over the basics of the snake style of kung-fu and as such you know exactly which pressure points to press to damage an opponent. You are also able to poison your opponents life force by pressing specific pressure points, this works on both humans and creature enemies but this works especially well on human enemies.]

[Tai chi Chuan Novice- The more active version of tai chi, you are able to freely manipulate the chi energy in your body and turn it into a very effective weapon against your enemies, you also have a 2x bonus to the damage output from the kicks that you may perform. You also have increased atheleticism for your whole body a 5x multiplyer to the atheletics and acrobatics stats when using your tai chi chuan techniques.]

[Magical Martial Arts Mastery: You have an innate mastery over the magical martial arts and can reinforce your own body to make it a lethal weapon against monsters. You may pick up martial arts styles of various masters and you will be able to talk to and summon their spirits in order to talk to them. You will learn the martial arts techniques upon the first learning]

[Martial Arts Mimicry- Not only that you can mimic the martial arts techniques from your human opponents and even some monsters in order to create your own version of their techniques however for those techniques where you lack the bodily appendages to perform them you will either create weaponry using your chi manipulation to mimic the abilities or not be able to use those abilities at all. So careful who you spend time trying to mimic.]

"Your stats sheet doesn't look bad at all and especially not bad for a healer." I told Melanie. "Does your chi manipulation mean that you can heal us from a distance and remove debuffs if successful?"

"It most certainly does, although I suppose I'll need to be in medium range of my opponens and allies, I need to get a good look at them before I can perform the chi manipulation and as such I won't be able to suck their chi like a quanshi from too far a distance... Nor is that something I really want..." She looked rather saddened. "Doing that is a little disturbing and disgusting to me." She thought

"But using my chi manipulation abilities to help my allies from a visible distance. That's something that I really love. Also I'm sure that Chi healing aura will come in handy during long dungeon raids and boss fights." I tried to convince her that her stat sheet really wasn't as bad as she thought it was.

"Above all else your physical skills to damage your opponents seems to be extremely powerful especially for a support healer. The fact that you know two different kung-fu styles off the bat and one of them allows you double damage for all the kicks that you can do seems to be really like you, getting all close and physical with the opponent." I told her.

Honestly, I was kinda jealous at te amount of abilities that she had and the amount of abilities that she could obtain sounded really staggering. She really was [going to have an ability for every single situation either offensive or defensive.

["You go show the voidlings that you're no one to mess with that you're someone who can not only defend herself but bring an end to their whole world."

"So what are your items like as a combat medic" I said to her extremely curious about what items her surprisingly unique class would have bestowed upon her.

"Well, here are all my items, not that they're really any different from yours except for the uniform and weaponry." She said reluctantly.

Items equippable:

[Lady's Kung-fu gown- This gown for the combat medic class increases all of your natural unarmed striking abilities to the maximum and also allows you proficiency with many make shift items to use as deadly weapons. You also get a 2x boost to any armed combat you do but a 5x boost to any combat that's unarmed.]

[Magical holy stone pillar staff- A holy stone pillar staff that can grow to any size and any length just like in journey to the west, as long as the practicioner can wield it it'll be able to grow to that length. It'll also be able to be returned to the practicioner at any distance and can be used as a projectile weapon when doing so. This staff is great for knocking any enemy on it's feet and then delivering the killing blow.]

Small Health Potion X2

Small Mana Potion X2

"So this staff is just like the staff of the monkey king or goku from the original dragonball? That's pretty nifty." I made sure to tell her how cool it was.

"Don't you think it's a little racist that the chinese girl gets the monkey kings staff just because journey to the west is one of the greats of chinese literature?" She said and I couldn't help but agree.

"But, it's so cool" I said. "Not going to lie, I kind of want that weapon for myself instead of the ability to generate my weapon from my own blood." I said.

"Yeah, that is kinda gross." She replied. "At least you'll never misplace your weaponry." She smiled.

"So lets take a look at what you look like with the kung-fu uniform and staff equipped." I asked her, and she obliged.

She tapped on her screen to have the items equipped and in a moment she was enveloped by the same blinding white light as everyone else. Then she emerged a beautiful and deadly looking version of Melanie Chang, she looked beautiful ravishing deadly and seductive all rolled into one and more than anything she looked like someone who wouldn't take anyone else's bullshit. I think she even grew a little bit because she looked tall thin, taught with muscle without a shred of body fat on her. This wasn't the Melanie Chang I knew before this was Melanie Chang the combat medic.

"That's everyone I guess," she said "Except for our fearless leader."

"Yeah, that's right, come on leader, are you afraid of what you're going to look like as a berserker?" Said Jacques.

"I bet that when he puts that stuff on he's not going to have anything but muscles for brains." Said Monroe

"Don't worry big brother, this stuff doesn't really change you that much. You should still have your core personality intact plus you still have the same intelligence and wisdom score that you've always had so I wouldn't worry about that too much." Said Alex.

With everyone waiting for me I had no choice but to dawn my armor and become Reinhardt Wiseman the Blood Berserker.
