I heard another strange term so I said in confusion:
“What do you mean by a class?”
“Tell me, your civilization used a form of power. What was it?”
“I’m from Treen Kingdom. There we used magic powers.”
“Good. Under using magic power you have occupations? Right?”
“Yes, we have many like fire magicians, wind magicians, and so on.”
“You can consider classes to be like your occupations but on a wider scale. In our technology, we have different types of classes. We have common classes like warriors, magicians, healers, defenders, and thieves.
We have many secret classes as well. Each secret class you must be lucky to find them. Each secret class has only one condition that must be met. Each secret class is like an advanced version of a common class.
So you need to have that certain class for you to be able to upgrade to this secret class. Now out of the five basic classes what class will you choose? I recommend that you choose a magician class as you are very familiar with magic power.”
She was right about all that she said. But as I was from a magic power kingdom then I knew the drawbacks of this profession. What caused our kingdom to suffer this much was that it depended only on magic powers.
Magicians could be lethal weapons only if they attacked from long distances and time was given to them. That was not a logical way in wars. Our enemies would never give us the chance to attack them full-heartedly.
That was why I didn’t want to use magic power again. I wanted to taste the real fighting. Maybe a swordsman or a spearman would be good for me. I said after contemplating:
“I don’t want to be a magician. I had enough with this profession or what you call a class.”
“Then what class do you want to be in?”
“I want to fight from the forefront and kill my enemies with my blade. I want the profession of swordsman or a spearman.”
“You want to choose a warrior class then. Try to use the word “class” rather than the word “profession”. It will get easier the more you use our terms.”
“Thanks. Then warrior class has both classes?”
“Yes. Warrior class has many subclasses like swordsman, spearman, and archer and hammer warrior. What class will you choose then?”
Although I wanted to fight in the forefront but when I was about to choose swordsman I felt pain. It seemed that my previous profession was deep in my bones. Ok, I won’t choose a very close range class.
Then what about spearman? It looked nice to me. I would fight in the front lines. I also wouldn’t be so close to my target as I was using a long spear. I decided to choose this class then.
“I will choose the spearman class.”
“Good choice Agatha adventurer. Now I will move you to your starting point in this game. You will appear at a novice village. It’s a village of beginners like you. There you can learn gradually.
About your Guild Master rank it will appear at your Inventory as a Guild establishing stone. You can use it anytime. Don’t be afraid, it won’t drop when you die.”
I didn’t understand a word! But I felt being stupid in front of a stranger wasn’t a pleasant feeling. So I didn’t ask more and decided to try everything myself and try to work things out.
“Ok. Send me to this Nobrisco village.”
“It’s called a novice village. Listen; if you ever needed me just say my name loudly. Bon Voyage Agatha adventurer.”
I didn’t have any chance to say anything as I was overwhelmed by bright light. When I opened my eyes again I found myself standing in an open space. I looked around to find out that I was in some sort of a big square.
What was remarkable about this square was this small sculpture of a swordsman. When I saw this sculpture I felt regret. That man looked awesome! I should have chosen this job! I felt a stabbing pain again in my heart. Damn!
Why couldn’t I use this profession? I tried to ignore this remarkable life-like sculpture and looked around me. I wasn’t the same person there, but I noticed a large number of people.
Every second a flash of light shone and a new wave of newcomers appeared. I knew that they were all the same as me. They had finished this test and now they joined this game. What was this game name again?
I forgot even the game’s name! I was a hopeless person!
“Hey there, are you new here?”
I looked at who spoke to me. He was a young player. His age was around 17 years old. He was a swordsman. Damn! That profession was so cool.
“Why are you looking at me in this way? C’mon, I’m just trying to be a friend only.”
This crazy cool swordsman! I said at once trying to look angry:
“What do you mean? I was just looking at your sword!”
“This sword? It’s a trash grade sword! You are a newbie! I swear you are from a kingdom outside our Empire!”
I was surprised by his comment and asked:
“Is that obvious?”
“Yes, pretty obvious. Everyone in Frod knows about the weapon grading and equipment grades. This sword is nothing but a newbie trash grade! What would you do if you saw a fine gold grade sword then?”
“Fine gold grade? What is that? Is it gold?”
“Oh god! Do you love gold? Then you are from a new kingdom. Tell me what are your names and your kingdom? “
I was about to answer him spontaneously but I stopped. If the test results were announced in public then my kingdom name would be known too. If no one found my name then they would suspect me changing it.
So they would search for my kingdom. That was so logical. I need to find a different kingdom. It was better to be from a nearby kingdom so I drove out any suspicion. I needed time to think so I attacked him faking arrogance:
“You should know it was impolite to ask a lady about her name!”
“Why? I didn’t ask about your age though!”
This damn cool swordsman! He made me angry so I angrily said:
“You idiot didn’t tell me your name first!”
“Ah, sorry! I’m Shin. Now tell me your name.”
“My name is Agatha.”
“Agatha? Strange name. Ok Agatha, tell me where did you come from?”
“I come from the Kronig kingdom.”
“Kronig kingdom? Are you sure?”
I felt danger. I forgot that a nearby kingdom must have a lot of info about the Frod system. While I was thinking hard and blaming myself harder he said:
“Don’t bother. Everyone has his secrets. Ok Agatha from Kronig, tell me what is your class?”
I felt grateful for him. He discovered that I was lying but he didn’t pursue. I appreciate this gesture from him. It seemed he was a nice cool swordsman!
“Thanks, Shin of Frod. I’m a spearman.”
“hahaha, you should be called the spear woman.”
“Don’t tease me, Shin. Yes, you can say I’m a speargirl.”
“Wasn’t it spearwoman?”
“No, I like being a girl.”
“Girl you will grow up one day!”
“Shin stops bothering me! Now tell me what I should do now?”
“Simple. You should go kill these rabbits.”
“Wow, I love rabbits. Why should I kill them?”
“You are hopeless! How could you get XP then?”
“What does XP mean?”
“Ah sorry, I forgot you are from Kronig. By the way, kronig is one of the closest kingdoms to us. They know very much about us. So please don’t ask these silly questions of yours in front of anyone else.”
He was right again! This damn cool swordsman!
