Chapter 56 - (56) Class Change?

Filthy had already moved to the third, stabbing it in the back of its neck. The next wave of Mage attacks split targets. Some flying towards Geth, others being danced around by Filthy's swift figure.

Geth took the brunt of the spells that were cast at him, he had no way to dodge. He raised his hands and cast Barrier directly in front of him, soaking a few of the spells.

Two Ice Spikes slammed into his hands, while a Fireball managed to burn into his side. A figure of 117 flashed, dropping from his max health.

'Shit, if all of those hit at once I would be in trouble.' Geth thought as he watched filthy picking off the Mages while dodging.

The higher level Goblin Assassins had closed in on Geth, they were much faster than their weaker versions. Geth could only parry one out of every three attacks.

Every hit would take off 15-20 HP, but the damage reduced a bit each time one of the chanting Mages was killed by Filthy. Without having to worry about the spellcasters, the fight became manageable.

Geth had cast one more round of Restoration on each of them and wasn't using his other spells. His Mana regeneration allowed him to constantly heal, even if that was all he could do for now.

Another wave of heat approached his back as he fended off the three Assassins that were attacking him. This time, the wall pressed on him and damaged the Goblins he was fighting.

"Hey, watch where you swing that thing!" He laughed as he managed to kill one of the charred creatures. Most of the weaker ones that had been surrounding him were on the ground writhing in pain.

The other two of the stronger Assassins were still fighting back, but he was slowly whittling them down. Zolis' move had helped tremendously.

One of their arms had been burnt in the blast, which was hanging limply by its side. The other was burnt from the waist down, and could barely move.

After a few moments, Geth managed to kill the two of them. Both ended up bleeding to death from the multiple cuts and blistered skin.

He checked on the others and found that both of them were finishing off their respective enemies. It had been a tough battle, but very rewarding.

"Congratulations User, on being the first to reach Level 25. Please select a reward."

:User has reached Level 25, please select a Class:

Geth's interest was certainly peaked, but first, they needed to finish clearing the room. There were still Goblins squirming around on the floor, burnt and in pain from Zolis' continuous assault.

The battle really hadn't lasted that long. In its entirety, it really took just under five minutes to clear all 600 Goblins.

After Geth stabbed through the last of the squirming creatures, he and Filthy spread out to look for a hidden loot crate. Zolis gathered all of the bodies into the center of the room and used Ring of Fire to incinerate their corpses.

Filthy was yet again the one to find the loot crate, particularly since he could cover ground much faster than the others. The loot crate was nicer than the simple boxes that they had found before.

It was lined with iron bracing, looking like a crudely built chest. Filthy opened it up to reveal three Skill Cards and a bracelet.

All three Skill Cards were the Common Sight cards. He handed one to Zolis and then took a look at the thin silver bracelet.

:Circlet of Deftness (Rare); Gives wearer +10 Agility, +5 Intelligence. A well-crafted bracelet, made by an apprentice craftsman for a loved one. Designed to increase one's physical speed and thought process:

'Hmm.. why would this be "crafted for a loved one"? Are these not gifts from the Mana like I thought they were? If that's the case, who could have crafted it, humanity just arrived here..'

Just that one line filled Geth with questions. He didn't have an answer for them.

The bracelet would have given him a bit of a boost, but he decided to let Filthy and Zolis play rock, paper, scissors for it. After a few ties, it ended up going to Zolis. This Dungeon had been quite generous to her.

It wasn't that he didn't want it, but the fact that how you built influenced the Mana's decisions became more apparent to him as they progressed. Before he even had the opportunity to look at the Level 25 notices, Zolis ran up to him with questions of her own.

"Hey babe, what's with this Class option?" Zolis asked, Geth glanced over and saw that she had also leveled to 25.

"I was just about to find out myself. Based on all of the previous choices we've been given it should be similar to a game. It will be a decision that affects how we handle ourselves and the choices we receive from now on." He responded to her.

"Just make sure that you choose what will be best for you personally, and everything will be okay." Geth smiled and patted her on the head.

She shrugged him away and turned back to her Grimoire. Geth rolled his eyes. 'Albus, let's take a look at what options we were given. Make sure to throw in any advice if you know something I don't.'

:Based on User's choices and experiences up to this point, three basic classes are available. Your choice will affect the future class upgrade options and class Skills that you will receive. Do you wish to proceed?:

"Yes." He and Zolis said at the same time, making them both laugh.

:Congratulations User, for reaching Level 25. Please select a Class.

Geth wasn't particularly fond of any of the choices. Then again, it seemed the choices were based on those in a game. Only the most basic of classes could be offered for the first evolution.

Being aware of that fact, he had to look towards the future instead of the present. He would have to look at his choices carefully and think of the different ways they could branch off in the future.

Warrior didn't stand as an option in his mind at all, though he did think briefly about the possible choices in the future if he chose it.. It didn't take long for him to forget about it completely and choose between Knight or Cleric.
