the man named Nil continued speaking and above his head appeared the word leader.
"Fran you can go take a rest I can handle the rest from here"
Fran walked off and Nil spoke
"Well now you know my name and class may I know yours?"
I gave a nod and spoke.
"of course my name is Julio and I'm a light bringer"
it appeared as if his eyes lit up and he spoke.
"really you're like an endangered species! lots of people have mentioned meeting a light bringer but most of them died in like the first week!"
I tried to process what he just said but he opened a note book and continued speaking.
"127 mentions of different light bringers that died prior to the second month 30 mentions of different light bringers that have died within the first week of the first month... now I have to add 1 living light bringer in the third month"
he scribbled down on his notebook then closed it and spoke.
"I'm sorry knowledge is power so I am recording as much as possible your class seems to be pretty common a little rare but not unheard of the problem is most of you have died.
probably has something to do with your personality since classes seem to be given based off personality and or traits a person has"
I nodded a bit dazed by the influx of words in my head and Nil continued speaking.
"Well from what I know your class is mostly useful for comforting people so you go do that and earn yourself some experience I will have Fran put you on a schedule later but please feel free to ask for help I gotta run!
oh! and just so you know the rules are no killing, hurting, stealing, fighting or sex we still gotta come up with some better rules but those are the basics bye bye!"
with that he was gone and I am left standing trying to process everything he said and after a minute I decided that it is time to gain some XP.
I walked towards the east side of the building it was quite sudden but this place is a nice surprise with all these people I should be able to get some xp just by having a few conversations.
that's one of my favourite parts of my class the fact I can say a few words to make others feel better and get xp at the same time.
I approached an older woman and started speaking.
"hello I'm Julio I am a light bringer how are you?"
she looked at me and spoke with sarcasm thick in her voice.
"oh I'm just fucking dandy everyone I've ever loved is dead and the world has gone to shit so I think I'm doing just fine"
I nodded and spoke.
"same but I didn't really love anyone before the apocalypse I made friends at the beginning but they all died so everyone I love are also dead"
She looked at me like I was crazy but then burst out laughing clutching her stomach and when she stopped she began to speak.
"I have never heard something so unhinged and random in my life especially from a complete stranger! hahahaha"
I spoke.
"Well we aren't strangers now"
She managed to stop laughing and she spoke her black and grey hair acting in accordance with her voice swaying slightly as she adjusted her body to talk to me.
"I'm Neeve I am a gunslinger"
I looked Neeve up and down but I didn't see any guns but her class dis appear above her head she noticed my confusion and clarified.
"I don't own any fire arms I think I got the class from being an ex soldier for the military I do actually like guns but they aren't exactly easy to come by"
I smiled in understanding it made sense that not everyone had the right tools for their class I'm sure somewhere a leader is alone or a swordsman has no sword.
I thought for a moment then asked Neeve a question.
"My class is focused on making people feel better is there anyone you know who is particularly down"
Neeve's eyes grey eyes went blank I was about apologise but she spoke.
"Nil he didn't use to act so chipper when this all began so I think he is overcompensating if you could cheer him up I'm sure it would be good"
Nil? Really? I settled my thoughts and replied.
"I will keep that in mind I will talk to him once I get my schedule anyone else?"
She pointed to a man who appeared to be in his late twenties he had bandages around his eyes and his left arm was missing then Neeve spoke.
"He was with his group in the city and everyone with him died in a monster attack that was when Fran found him just before the monster could finish him off.
Everyone here has seen some shit but he has the worst injuries here and he doesn't talk much so I would say he needs some cheering up."
I nodded then spoke.
"Thanks Neeve I'll go talk to him nice meeting you"
She waved me off and I walked over to the man and spoke.
"Hey I'm Julio a light bringer nice to meet you"
The blonde man didn't bother to turn his head as he spoke.
"I'm Wade now F off"
I spoke back at wade.
"Hey don't speak to me like that I was just introducing myself!"
The man clicked his tongue and spoke.
"And I just politely told you to F off"
I spoke.
"Fine I will if you ever feel like being a decent human and having an actual conversation just ask someone to come get me"
I walked off and I saw Nil he wasn't lying when he when he said he was recording as much as possible the speed at which he was writing in his notebook was astonishing.
I looked at my status screen.
{Name Julio Merryman:
Exp: 95/300
Class: light bringer
Class skills: Hope lvl 3
Level: 3

I smiled at the increase of experience and looked at Nil again then I set my mind on him.
What better way is there to get my level up then by helping a leader of such a big group?
