Cap 119: First job

I woke up the next day still with a little pain in my body, I think I really exaggerated yesterday awakening four people.

I get up from my bed and go to the bathroom to take a shower and wash my face, in this world it's much easier to clean my teeth as I only need to use the liquid soap potion.

After that I go to the ground floor, on the way I felt an incredible smell of food that made my mouth water, I followed this smell as if I was being pulled by someone's nose to the kitchen.

In the kitchen I found Freya and Caryna cooking, Caryna was humming with a happy smile on her face as she put something in the oven and Freya had a gentle smile as she cut some meat and placed it on an iron grill.

"Looks like you guys liked the kitchen." (I)

"Good morning sir, this kitchen is amazing." (Caryna)

"Good morning master, I must admit that I have never seen an iron plate like this, nor have I ever heard of cooking using something like this." (Freya)

"But I must say it's a very practical way to cook meat, I can even make several pieces at the same time-saving time." (Freya)

"I'm glad they liked it so much, it was my idea to renovate the kitchen like that, Érica even complained that it was a big waste of money, but as a lover of good food I couldn't help it." (I)

"I guarantee you that my mother and I will cook you delicious food every day." (Caryna)

"With this aroma that's making my mouth water, I believe you." (I)

Soon more and more people arrived in the kitchen being attracted by this delicious smell, Alice and Nolan began to set the dining room table following the instructions of Freya who left the kitchen leaving the rest with her daughter.

With everyone awake we went to eat a delicious meat sandwich with sweet and sour sauce, with each bite the meat seemed to melt in the mouth it was so tender, the table was completely silent as no one wanted to waste time talking to food like this in front of them.

This dining table is quite big, it looks like a circle and has space for almost twenty people to eat at the same time before we ate I took some time to convince the new employees to sit at the table so we could all eat together, but in the end everyone they enjoyed the food together.

After the meal I gave each one fifty silver coins, and I gave Freya two hundred, while our group went to the Adventurers Guild, I asked her to go with the other new employees to shop, I told them to buy clothes and on the way to buy ingredients. for the food of the week.

We ended up leaving the mansion altogether, Sophia wanted to go with me but I managed to convince her to go with the others to buy clothes for everyday life, and I promised that later I would let her and Leo accompany Diana to buy combat gear, armor, and weapons.

After the two groups split up, I and the rest of our group went to the Adventurers Guild, it took us a while to walk there, I have to think of a better means of transport, I'll leave that for later.

On the way to the Guild Irina told me what she found out yesterday, from what she told me it seems that because Alice and Nolan don't have a Pure lineage of the Twilight Vampires, they didn't get the two elemental affinities of Light and Shadow, but she said that each received an affinity and both have the light resistance ability, that's good information.

Ibuki kept ordering food at every food stall along the way, this hungry one looks like a bottomless pit, she must have ingested her weight in food by now.

It took us longer than I expected to get to the Adventurers Guild.

As soon as we arrive, Diana asks them to call Mari down here, soon Mari appears and takes us to a room on the second floor so we can all be more comfortable.

"You guys took longer than I thought, I thought you'd be here early in the morning." (Mari)

"Some things happened yesterday, so we ended up sleeping late, and on the way, someone kept ordering food from every street tent." (I)

"But everything smelled so good, Ibuki wanted to taste everything." (Ibuki)

"But I could have left it for later, we had just eaten at home." (Diana)

"The important thing is that we are here, are the Guild cards ready?" (I)

"Yes, I have them here." (Mari)

Mari takes six white crystal cards from her storage item and places them next to each other on the table.

"All you need to do now is drop a drop of blood on the card." (Mari)

I take a knife from my ring and cut my finger a little, let some blood drip on one of the cards, then it starts to glow, then Mari takes a sheet of paper and approaches it, the sheet of paper turns to dust so it's absorbed by the card, soon it stops glowing and some things start to appear written on it, my rating which was Grade -C, had my name and on the back was blank, but Diana told me I could show a part of my status or it was complete and I could show you missions I've accepted.

"(I won't test anything on this card right now, there are a lot of things in my status that I can't show by mistake.)" (I)

"Your card is ready now, who's next?" (Mari)

After that, the others went one by one picking up their cards the same way I did, after everyone took and put their cards Mari starts talking.

"Usually after new adventurer registers we ask a more experienced adventurer to guide them for a week to a month, but as Diana is in your group she won't need that." (Mari)

"You can let me teach them everything they need to know." (Diana)

"You have to teach how the cards work, the rules of the Adventurers' Guild, about quests, etc." (Mari)

"Don't worry, I know what I'm supposed to do, who do you think I am?" (Diana)

"A brain of muscles that only knows how to fight and drink beer all day." (Mari)

"Looks like she really knows you well Diana." (Kira)

"Shut up you both, if anyone listened you would think you're serious." (Diana)

"But I'm serious." (Mari)

"You're the only one who can't talk about me like that, your husband is the same." (Diana)

"Can't deny it, that idiot really is that way too." (Mari)

After a while of conversation, I asked Mari a question.

"Now that we are registered can we switch jobs here at the Guild?" (I)

"Yes, the job exchange room is on the first floor, do you want to go there now?" (Mari)

"Please." (I)

"Please, follow me." (Mari)

The others waited in the second-floor room while I followed Mari up to the first floor, she led me to a hallway beside the first-floor balcony, then led me to a black door in the middle of the hallway and told me this was the room.

"You can come in if you want." (Mari)

"Does the Adventurers Guild keep any records of the adventurers' skills or jobs?" (I)

"No, the information about each adventurer's skills and work belongs to him, must keep this information secret as a form of security as it is their skills and work that make them strong." (Mari)

"But the Guild gives a prize to people who discover new jobs or skills if that person comes to us to speak." (Mari)

"Don't you guys keep watch inside the room?" (I)

"No, the room is isolated from any kind of surveillance, only the adventurer himself can be present, no one would even try to watch, hence the prizes, to encourage people to share the information." (Mari)

"I see, thanks for clearing up my doubts." (I)

After asking Mari a few questions I open the door and walk into the job exchange room, then close the door behind me.

I look around the room and I'm surprised, there's a big magic circle on the floor and another completely deficient one on the ceiling, they both cover the entire floor and ceiling, inside the magic circles I see several runes that I didn't understand and on the walls there were several lines of crystal pulsing with light like a heart, there was nothing in the room but the middle of the room where there was a plinth with a large dark crystal sphere floating above it.

After observing all this I took a deep breath to regain my composure, then walked to the middle of the room, the pedestal was not high so I could easily reach the crystal, as soon as I put my hand on it glowed and I started seeing notifications in my mind.

<[ Choice between jobs:

[ Apprentice Mage ] [ Apprentice Warrior ] [ Apprentice Thief ] [ Apprentice Carpenter ] [ Apprentice Trader ] [ Apprentice Martial Artist ] [ Apprentice Hunter ] [ Grand Martial Master ] [ Novice Adventurer ] [ Slave Master ] [ Awakening Master (Unique) ] [ Demon Breeder (Unique) ] [ Monster Tamer ]

"(There are more works than I imagined, some have strange names.)" (I)

I decide to use [ Identify: 2 ] to see these works that I couldn't understand.

<[ Identification result:

• [ Great Martial Master ] : Work acquired only by martial artists who managed to create their own martial art, great increase for Dexterity, Ki, and life.

• [ Slave Master ] : Work acquired only for those who turned another person into slaves with their own power, medium increase in life, mana, and intelligence.

• [ Awakening Master (Unique) ] : Unique work that can only be acquired by a person capable of awakening the hidden power within a person or granting power to another person, a big boost for smart, medium boost for life and mana, power spiritual and Ki.

• [ Demon Breeder (Unique) ] : Unique work acquired by one capable of creating a Demon or transforming someone into a Demon with his own power, great increase for intelligence, mana, and magic defense.

]>

Now I understand where these works came from, I turned Érica into a Demon, created the martial art of the Fist of Chaos, awakened the Leo powers, tamed Ibuki who is still considered a monster since he is an Ogress.

I don't want to draw attention, for now, my identification ability didn't show much information about these jobs, for now, I'm going to choose the apprentice jobs, from what I studied about jobs they have requirements that sometimes are having already had another smaller job.

Thinking about it and my current status, I'm going to choose [ Apprentice Mage ], now is a good time to start training my magic, I have a lot of magic skills but I don't know how to use them and it's a waste.
