James continued down the road toward the village of Brook, talking with Cortana, learning about and thinking about Giandrea. He was rapidly becoming accustomed to his new life. Finally, the village of Brook came into view. James traveled toward Brook, heading East. The sun was now behind him, its golden rays hitting the town.
James had a massive smile on his face. The picture he had read and played hundreds of times was finally happening. The town walls painted yellow by the sun gave off a glow. The flags were blowing in the gentle, warm breeze. The few people at the gate were entering in good spirits after a long day of work. James saw the tall towers and thought how much time and effort this took, looking at the walls that stretched out to the sides for about five hundred yards each in awe.
This would have taken around ten years to build, shaking his head, but thanks to magic, who knows how long it took, as James hasn't even gone through the magic book yet. As he was nearing the gate, he activated the inventory, got his certification and ID tag out, and proceeded to open all of his boxes, but he decided to leave the gift box for later. He chose to go in order, picking the role box and the traveler.
Then, he went to occupation, and an endless list of occupations popped up on the status screen. He browsed and saw some interesting ones. Artificer, Tamer, Spy, Daemon Hunter, Engineer, Warden, Dragon Slayer, Dragon Rider, then he saw some less than savory ones that gave him complicated feelings. Slave, Corrupted Soul, Devourer, Necromancer, Daemon. Not wanting to get ahead of himself, he asked Cortana, "What's the importance of the occupations?". Cortana " occupations give you boosts to skills and help you level up skills. Your occupation can be changed, but it takes a specific elixir; you can change it at will until lv 20. After that, you will undergo an advanced occupation change. So you should think about it a little".
James, looking ahead, estimated it would take about an hour to reach the guards and decided to finish his occupation class. This should be plenty of time as he already knew what he was looking for. At the speed of a true gamer and reader, he looked at the 5 occupations on his mind. Mercenary, Soldier, Explorer, Artificer, Adventurer. He decided it would be odd if he picked mercenary as it would be hard to explain he could always edit his ID, but he wanted to be as honest as possible with information.
So Artificer was a good choice if he was going to pick townsmen, but he is a traveler, so that won't be as compatible as the last three. So we decided to go with Adventurer. Looking at the book of learning, he realized that adventure would help him with combat and travel. And he can always look later for a more detailed occupation close to adventure. It's nice to be well-rounded, but you should always have a specialty. Selecting and confirming the occupation, he picked the sub-occupation as an explorer.
Then his class, James, looked at Cortana with serious eyes and asked, "Is there a long-range combat class" Cortana froze at his pure blue eyes, the hint of green nowhere to be seen. " yes, there is. It's sni..." James cut Cortana off, and "Never mind," he said with a cold expression as he confirmed the sniper class, then the subclass of unarmed combat. Cortana thought to herself, why did he even ask me? As soon as she was calculating the answer. James answered the air. "I just wanted to ensure that the class we thought of was the same. Some sniper classes can be related to what the weapon is.
For example, explosive weapons or magic can be used from far away. Way further than a bullet can travel. Imagine if there was a siege class or an artillery class. Stuff like that should not be allowed in beginner classes or in life. Picture a mage casting a fireball from 1,000 miles away... Scary," he thought to himself, glad GOD had some restraint. Thinking of what the angel said before. The law of Power is absolute. In every RPG with the LV system, you reach a point where you are a God. I have seen plenty of games and books that people can reach and then change the world with a wrist flick.
As he finished that thought, he looked back at Cortana with a smile. "Sorry, I can get intense sometimes." Looking at his gentle smile, Cortana noticed the green tint was back in his eyes. They stepped up to the guard at that moment, and he displayed his ID card. They looked at it, and the younger guard of the two smiled and said, "Well, well, well, welcome to Brook. If this is your first time, please ensure you behave and not cause any trouble. Also, the gate is locked every night until 4 am No one may exit or enter without proper approval.
Take this map and also this stamp". The guard stamped his ID card with what looked like an insignia of the country. A large bird with an arrow in one claw and a fish in the other. James understood that the stamp was good for 14 days, but after that, it would disappear, meaning his stay was over in the town, and he would have to apply for an extended period or move on to the next place he was heading to. Thanking the guards, he gave a slight bow of his head and headed off to the marketplace. As indicated on the map, he had.
The guards watched as James left and looked at each other. "1 silver, he decides to stay," said the older guard. The younger guard smiled. " I will take your money," and they both shook hands and grabbed each other's shoulders to finalize the bet.
