In a land where skills and stats are a real thing Brady was the son of a farmer without any special skills, his fathers occupation was farmer while his mothers occupation was tailor. When people reached 16 years of age they would go to the holy church to get access to their status window also other useful functions and they would get their job maybe their first and last job depending on the job since many jobs didn't have any upper form just like his fathers farmer job which would not evolve into any other job her mothers job could evolve but it required a lot of materials to level up to magic tailor and for a normal family like them it was impossible to achieve. This was Bradys 16th birthday the one he would get his access to the system just like all the other boys in the village he also wanted to have a combat occupation like warrior, hunter or anything of sorts. He reached the church and was standing at the entrance of the church and was praying he got a fighting occupation. He entered the church and asked one of the priests to unseal his system the priest started to explain how it worked
"You'll need to put your hand on this ball and will it to give you your status window, nobody will be able to see your status window except you so I'll be asking you to fill the form after you complete your unsealing, during the unsealing you may experience heat some more powerful occupations might even change your body disposition so it might hurt just try to bear with it, it usually takes about 15 minutes the longer it takes the more powerful the occupation, is there anything you don't understand"
""No sir, thanks for explaining all this to me""
"You're welcome"
After their conversation ended the priest left and closed the door on his way out and Brady put his hand on the reddish ball and after a few seconds he heard a
*ding*
"System unsealed"
"Occupation granted"
And when he realized it has just been 30 seconds he felt like shit because he knew his occupation will not be a fighting and be one of the worst occupations possible but he checked the status window anyways

YEWEEEEEEEEEES I GOT A FIGHTING OCCUPATION
The rooms are soundproof so there is no problem but Brady realized that he probably had an illegal occupation and he would be killed if he told the priest that he was a blood warrior so he decided to say that he was a normal warrior.
After waiting for 20 minutes he left the room and the priest was still waiting in front of the room he went to the priest and asked where the form he needed to be filled was
Priest handed the form and realized that Brady was really happy then asked
" I assume you got a fighting occupation since you are so happy "
"" yes, I got warrior""
" do you have any skills if not how many skill points do you have"
"" I don't have any skills but I got 5 skill points""
" You are one of the lucky ones then you only get skill points every ten levels most people start with 2 or 3 skill points"
After filling the form Brady left and went to home to tell his family that he got a fighting occupation both his mother and father was ecstatic since they knew the fighters were the elite no matter where even if their level was low they could go kill a few minsters and earn a lot of money then Bradys mother, Mary, said
" we will have a feast tonight I'll make as many dishes as I can until its sundown our little boy has grown and he will be our savior from this life of poorness"
"" Yes mother, I will save both of you I know that father and you have been working everyday to provide me as best as you can ""
After their talk Brady was excited and he went to the forest where monsters from level 1-20 could be found, he wanted to see if he could kill any monsters and while he was on the way he opened up his skill tree
There were 3 paths all of them were binded to one skill that was blood merger which was in the middle of the whole tree on its own as the starting point of the all three branches he could go towards, he checked out all the paths, one of them was all about attacking skills and they got more powerful as it went up the tree another one was about defensive skills and and escaping skills, and the last one was all about passive skills that would increase his bodys power, vitality, speed he knew where he would use all his points on the passive tree when he read books about heroes in the past he realized all of them chose the attack or defense tree but he always thought that it was stupid of them to do that if they invested in the passive tree and learnt some skills on their own they would have the attacking power of a sword tree and the defense of a defense tree and their movement speed wouldn't be low either so he spent 1 point on robust skin which increased his skin thickness and his skins hardness even if it didn't do a lot in level 1 it would level up as he got attacked and in a while it would make his defenses go up he couldn't use skill points to level up his passive skills so he kept on checking the skills on the passive tree at the bottom layer and he realized there were 3 skills in the bottom layer one of them was robust skin, another was flexible body and the last one was enhanced senses the skills in the following levels were mutated skills of of these 3 skills after opening all of the skills Brady was left with 0 skill points as enhanced senses required 3 points while flexible body only required 1 after opening the skills he felt warm all over his body, there was a kind of ticklish feeling all over his body and after a few minutes his body had changed and adapted and now he could see way better than before it wasn't absurdly good it was still in human limitations, his hearing and all other senses also got more sensitive and it was time to try and hunt to see how his blood merger skill would work
