To: Denizens of Earth
From: God
Date: October 21, 2018
Subject: World Fusion
Dear denizen of Earth I am giving you a formal notice to advise you that the world you are familiar with will be going through a drastic change.
Earth as you know it has reached the breaking point where It can no longer tolerate the abuse it has endured. In order to counteract the destruction of my most precious creation, I will need to combine it with another world also on the brink of destruction.
The world I am combining it with its known as Mystova, it is the equivalent of what you would call a fantasy world, where creatures such as goblins, orcs, and dragon reign. Humans were also a part of Mystova, but they went extinct due to decisions of their own making.
To prevent that from happening again I will enact a level and job class system so Humans can grow stronger as they triumph. I will also grant you the ability to request three skills, I will grant you one of the skills requested. No skills will be repeated, it will be first come first serve. Skills to take other skills are forbidden.
Also please be advised that all Material that can further cause irreparable damage will be removed. That includes but not limited to Fossil Fuels, Nuclear material, and gun power.
You have five minutes to decide.
1.
2.
3.
The worlds will begin fusing at midnight. Complete fusion will take twenty-one days.
Best regards,
God.
"What a weird chain text, but If I had to choose my three choices would be
1. Extremely fast leveling
2. Multiple jobs
3. Augment Reality
Send."
Tonight, I was up to my usual habits, I came home from work showered, ate, and was now reading a book on my phone when a weird chain text popped up. I responded because it was pretty interesting, and it was a situation I read about a lot. The chance to start life over in another world.
Of course, the more privileged people out there wouldn't be interested in something like that, but as for me; someone who recently outgrew the foster system and was now on his own it would be a golden opportunity.
DING!
My phone rang again with another message from the source claiming to be God.

Yours Truly
"What...how...?"
I was mystified by two things in that response. First was the first line. Who is doing this and how do they know my name.? Second was how did this person know about the golden opportunity comment I thought to myself just moments ago? I didn't really know anyone, a matter of fact I knew absolutely no one.
I just relocated to this area a few weeks ago. I live in South Florida with some rather vile foster parents until my eighteenth birthday. I bounced around a few shelters before I found a job in a more rural area of central Florida as a storekeeper for one of those military surplus stores. My job benefits included the use of the small attached apartment in exchange for pretty much being on call 24/7.
I reread the message again to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me before I timidly decided to
"Status"
Name: Jordan Cain

HP: 25

Speed: 8
Dexterity: 14
Job Points: 10
Skill Points: 100
My stats boxed popped up in my mind, it was as clear as reading a sheet of paper in my hand.
"My stats don't look very awe-inspiring."
I was talking to myself of course not that I actually knew the significance of what each number meant, but all in all the numbers didn't seem very large. Except for the skill points, I had one hundred of those.
No Skills Available
"This is all very strange."
Those words appeared in the mind of my mind while I was looking at my skill points wondering what to do with them. With that, I change my line of sight the Job Points.
Jobs Available: Thief (2), Apprentice Swordsman(3), Beast Trainer(4), Apprentice magician(4), Brawler(1), Healer(2), Farmer(1), Laborer(1)
"Ok, I think I get it now I have to choose a job before a skill will be available."
I've read a lot of books where situations like this happen and the protagonist makes a stupid decision and waste his skills on the most senseless things.
Fortunately, the skill I requested from God, the ability to have multiple jobs was now present in Occupationalist. It granted me the ability to wield three jobs.
"I only have three minutes left before the set time, I need to make a decision quickly I don't know what will happen after time runs out."
I think two of my three will be Beast trainer and apprentice magician. With no fossil fuels that means no gas. Means of transportation will become an issue. Taming some kind of Steed to be my wheels and companion will be of great help. In a fantasy world magic is usually a very versatile, and finally ill think ill go with Thief. I don't have any weapons apart from a kitchen knife. Usually, thieves are the ones the most adept at using those kinds of weapons and sneaking around undetected, which in a world of monsters will be of the utmost importance.
"submit."
Increase to MP, Magic affinity, Magic defense, speed, And Dexterity.
Skills Available.
Bonus skills available for choosing a job prior to the deadline.
"Yes! That's what I'm talking about!"
Choosing a job increased my base stats and opened skills for me to choose from.
**Storage**(40), **Appraisal(20)**Body Strengthening(5); Poison Resistance(2); Paralysis Resistance(2); Fear resistance(2);Increased Endurance(1); Blade Skill(2); Burn Resistance(2); Casting skill(5); Low Tier Earth Magic Lv 1(10); Low Tier Fire Magic Lv 1(10); Low Tier Water Magic Lv 1(10); Low Tier Wind Magic Lv 1(10); Fear Resistance (2); Attentive Hearing(5); Sneak(5); Hide(5); Detect Life(10); Danger sense(5); Taming(10); Mount Riding(5)
Note: **Bonus Skills** Will no longer be available once the time is up
The Skills list was a lot longer than I expected it to be but these were the skills I was considering mainly at the moment. Upon seeing the note I quickly decide to use skill points on the storage and appraisal skills and it cost me a grievous amount. Though if the skills worked the same way here that they do in the books I've read they will be well worth it. Now I only have forty points remaining. With my Remaining forty I decided on Body strengthening, Earth Magic Lv 1, Casting skill, Taming, Blade Skill, Danger sense, Paralysis resistance, and used my last job point on increased endurance.
I felt like that combination makes me the most well rounded.
Once I submitted everything clicked. I felt all the skills I added in every cell in every corner of my body. It became a part of me, the system integrated with me as easy as my respiratory system.
GONG GONG GONG
My house went black all my electricity was off, even my cell phone was off and it was fully charged prior it this.
"So this is the beginning of the end."
The time came, and three loud consecutive gongs marked the change of the world as we knew it.
