Chapter 10: Class Advancement
Liam arrived at the town. He saw the bustling people on the streets since he entered the gate. Luckily, the town didn't have an entrance fee because he didn't have enough money with him.
He was unprepared since he advanced to level 10 after his quest. Liam was still confused even now because of the sudden transfer.
Liam walked along the street and searched for the Function Hall. Every city and town have their function hall built for players.
When Liam arrived at the function hall, he saw how the people come and go. Some starting their journey after receiving quest, while some were leaving dejected by their business unsuccessful.
Liam entered and saw how big it was. The function hall was divided into 3 floors. The first floor was divided into two: the guild registration and adventurer's association registration. The function hall's main objective was for the players.
The Adventurer's Association was built solely for players who wanted to be an adventurer by name. There was no cons on registering on an adventurer's association except when you have reached the S rank.
The second floor was solely for adventurers. The mission board as well as the lobby of the players who waited for their team was also there. Lastly, the third floor was a meeting hall and the branch manager's room.
First, Liam went on the Adventurer's Association Registration desk. Liam saw a woman behind the desk. She wore a simple dress that reached her hips that mostly covered her supple skin, paired with a black blazer that covered her arms. Liam knocked on the desk.
"How may I help you?"
"Hi, I was here to register."
"Please wait a moment."
The female NPC smiled at Liam. While the NPC was retrieving the necessary documents he needed to fill. Liam saw that there were also people, who like him, having their registration. He also saw on the right side people loitering around on the guild registration.
"Please fill in this paper. And don't forget to sign your signature on the contract on the second page."
Liam received the paper and browsed the content. The adventurer only needed the basic information like the name, title, class, and race. Liam filled the information on the first page and read the contract on the second page.
The contract only have a three lines;
For I vowed to serve thyself,
Serve the association,
And built a future for the younger generation.
The contract itself was vague. But he could feel that it was only for F rank to A rank. 'S Rank's contracts would be totally different' Liam thought. Liam passed the papers after he signed his signature.
"Please trickle your blood in this card." The NPC passed a small dagger to Liam. Liam poked his finger and a small wound opened up. He squeezed a drop of blood and aimed it at the card.
When the blood fell on the card, the blood made a sizzling sound and a red glow surrounded the whole card. Liam was amazed by the events that happened.
"Registration complete. Welcome to Adventurer' Association. May the God of Light bless you with your adventure."
The female NPC passed the card to Liam. Liam received the card and saw it. The card was brown and it has the basic information.

Liam didn't went to the second floor. He needed to advance his class first. Class advancement has their own building. It also have their own quest depending on your level.
Liam asked around where the warrior's building was. Yes, he wanted to be a warrior. He never forgot the feeling of his sword clashing with the claws. The vibration and the wind produced by swinging the sword.
Liam arrived at the Warrior's Building. It was also bustling with people. Liam sighed and proceed to the desk.
"Hey, I want to do a class advancement."
The bored looking man behind the desk only looked at Liam. He sighed and beckon Liam to follow him. Liam was confused at first at the NPC's attitude towards him but still followed the NPC.
They went inside a room. The room was bare. The walls was simple as it could be and the only light was coming from the torch. It has somber feeling. In the middle of the room, a magic circle was drawn with complicated runes inside it.
"Go to the circle and recite 'Light of God, please bestow me the power of the brave warrior and guide me away from the darkness within me' and once your done come back at me."
The man left Liam. Liam was dumbfounded with the confusing events but he could only do what he was told. Liam walked inside the middle of the circle. Liam, without knowing, was glowing when he started to enter the circle.
It was a sign that he was truly advancing. Liam looked at the ceiling and recited the words.
"Light of God, please bestow me the power of the brave warrior and guide me away from the darkness within me."
Bright lights gathered around Liam. Liam felt his bone creaking and strength pouring inside him. He felt he was undergoing a rebirth. He felt a hand was caressing his head and faintly heard blurry words.
"Congratulations, my child."
The light faded and Liam emerged in the center of the circle. Liam opened his eyes. In the middle of class advancement, he closed his eyes because of the weird feeling he was experiencing.
Liam went outside and saw the man. The man only looked at him and grunted. The man gave him a bronze medal and explained some things about the warrior's association.
Liam after the briefing went outside and breathe the air within the town. It was a whole new feeling. He felt something has changed within him. Liam checked his status. He also learned the two skills that he could learn.

Liam now felt stronger than before he used his attribute points. Now, he could finally start his adventure.
Liam went back to the 2nd Floor Function Hall to get a mission. He was a F rank. He could only do F rank quest.
When he arrived he saw that there were still a lot of people loitering. Liam saw that the Adventurer's Association has its own bar within in. It was like a tavern for information.
Liam checked the available quest that he could take. The mission board was divided into 6. A, B, C, D, E, and F rank respectively. There was a clear difference with the rank.
In this town, there was only a few A, B, and C rank quest because of the scale of town. Also, reaching C rank and up needed to have an advancement quest.
The quest C and above were especially hard for starting players. The game was only running for almost 7 months so the quest could only be picked by NPCs on their side of Adventurer's Hall.
Liam saw a gathering quest. With his race, he could get 4 profession. The racial trait of human was 3 extra profession. Liam torn the quest paper.
