Earning a Warrior's Keep
Achilles raced through the clearing, closing the distance between him and Bumbo in only a couple of seconds.
The hulking man’s system information labeled him as a 1st Level Hireling, which the snippets of text swirling around him identified as giving him minor stats and proficiency advantages in whatever his boss ordered him to do. Somewhat like the Butler class, it seemed, though nowhere near as sophisticated.
As Achilles swung Virgil, Bumbo’s Armor Class and strength stats slightly increased, and he parried the blow with his shovel.
Then Bumbo swung the shovel with both hands, and Achilles threw up his shield to block it.
The impact caused no damage, but sent him flying four meters away and lying on his back!
