Dora gazed out of the window, his smile trembling. After an extensive period, words held significance, thus he could understand the meaning of a quest for evolution.
(Is it…)
(Yes, it looks like we just needed an extra experience point to trigger it, it's a good thing I'm so diligent.)
The moment he discovered that he had reached the maximum level, a wave of disbelief washed over him. Being stuck at E-rank, he began to doubt his ability to grow stronger. However, Midgard reassured him that they would find a solution. But he couldn't believe that the solution would come so soon.
(So? I can feel your heart beating like a girl in front of a handsome man~, more like a beautiful lady in this case.)
(Ha, you know what, I'll give you that, great job!)
(Ah, yes, praise me more.)
(Haha… Let's not be crazy… But really good job.)
(More.)
(You are amazing!)
(Call me 'my love'!)
(Oi…)
(Fine, fine, I'll save that for later. So, ready to expand your maximum?)
With a smile on his face and a burning sensation in his chest, he rushed into the infirmary and replied in a single breath.
(Let's do it.)

A wave of warm energy passed through his body, he felt his fatigue disappear instantly and his body became lighter.
"So this is an evolution… Incredible… This is the first time I've felt a real change…"
With curiosity piqued, he glanced at the screen, eagerly scanning for any updates. To his surprise, a brand new window labeled "job" had appeared, catching his attention.
(What is this? A new form of quest?)
(Not exactly, it's the equivalent of what you call classes, or branches to be exact, let's check that.)
He opened the window and was quite impressed with the decor, a list of names with icons displayed several branches.
|Jobs

|Special Job (Locked)
"Wow… What is that-"
(I knew it! I knew it! I always said it, they don't know anything, they are all blinded by their little knowledge, but this is proof that I was right! How do you explain that? WHO was right at all this time?)
(… You? What are you doing?)
(Oh, sorry little wonder, I let my emotions overwhelm me, but look, that's what I was saying, this is proof that you're the only true Avatar, in this place. Look at all these jobs, can you understand the infinite potential within you? Can you imagine your full power once you master them all?)
(I'm trying to... But I can't see all the classes, Why is there no puppeteer or hero?)
(Puppeteer? Isn't that an upper magic class? Pay attention, those are the names of every branch in general.)
(Even Hero?)
(You just leveled up, it might still be locked, this could be the special job. The system never makes a mistake and we will have all the time in the world to figure this out, look at all these jobs, and imagine the time it will take to reach the maximum level... Imagine the endless requirements to maximize their level, imagine what lies behind this special job... Meeting you was a true blessing.)
Dora could feel the girl gloating in her triumph, despite the physical distance between them. He couldn't really voice any complaints, as he had willingly become her experimental subject in exchange for unrestricted access to the entire system. At that particular moment, nothing else held any significance for him.
As his statistics began to rise, he experienced a profound transformation, not only in his physical being but also in his mental state. He found himself growing more adaptable and appreciative towards Midgard. Was it due to the increase in his intelligence or sensitivity? It was truly captivating.
His aspirations shifted from pursuing a life of wealth to satisfying his insatiable curiosity and exploring all that the system had to offer.
(Let's start by sharing the skill points, We have 50 points and 10 stats, if we were wise enough we would put 5 in each of them, but since your physical attributes are a horror show, we will focus on that for the moment.)
They talked for a while and then divided the stat points as follows: 10 points for attack, 20 points for physical defense, and 20 points for stamina.
Stats:
|Attack: 27
|Physical Def: 33
|Intelligence: 29
|Magic Def: 22
|Speed:24
|Stamina:31
|Mana:50
|Agility: 26
|Sensitivity: 33
|Luck: 6
|Stat Points: 0
Dora harbored a slight resentment for not investing in luck, as every alteration in statistics had a direct impact on him. He yearned to witness the additional benefits that luck could bring. In a sense, having Midgard govern his impulses was quite comforting.
(How do you feel?)
(I feel very light, not as much difference as before but I don't really see any…)
As He uttered those words, He seized hold of one of the beds and raised it slightly before releasing it.
"What... Maybe there's actually a change?! I'm really getting stronger!"
(... Is lifting a bed a great feat?)
(It is! With my sigma form it's absolutely impossible, I couldn't lift a greatsword before, without magic enhancement, but now I can lift a bed? That's awesome! Let's change places, I want to test it. )
(Fine, go crazy.)
He lifted his hand, causing a dark sphere to materialize in his palm.
(Switch)
The young man's eyes gleamed with a vibrant green light as a swirling combination of green and black energy enveloped him briefly before fading away.
Standing alone in the center of the infirmary, he kept his eyes shut, his breaths shallow, until a wicked grin crept onto his face. Slowly, he made his way to a mirror hanging on the wall, and as he gazed into it, his narrow pupils were completely obscured by his emerald green irises, resembling that of a serpent. Midgard was now in control of the body.
"Hmm, darling, I don't understand why that offends you so much, That's a face any woman would kill for."
A Player and their Avatar were able to use a particular skill called switch, enabling them to exchange powers and bodies. Thanks to this system, Midgard was able to complete the quests on behalf of Dora.
However, due to the unique nature of Dora's powers, she was able to absorb some of Midgard's attributes in the form of his personas. Additionally, with the help of his dimensional magic, they were able to access a form of teleportation.
In the forest, Dora who now inhabited Midgard's body regained all of his original attributes and eagerly opened the job window. Meanwhile, in the infirmary, the woman who now occupied the young man's body looked at herself in the mirror before heading towards the door, both of them wearing mischievous smiles.
"Let's have fun."
