New Class

 Jack thought about it for a moment; this was a rather important decision, and he had no reason to rush it. While blacksmithing seems to be able to provide him with a stable income from the stuff he will create while also boosting his own battle prowess, there might be a chance he gets a unique class or a rare class from a better dungeon. He was never able to make decisions like these.

Suddenly realizing his own idiocy, he facepalmed hard, making his teacher raise a brow. "It's okay, you don't need to rush this." Before his teacher could even finish, Jack pulled out a coin from his pocket. He smiled before speaking, "heads for yes and tails for no." He knew that if he gambled, his trait would automatically decide what's better for him, so he tossed the coin before his teacher could even say anything in objection.

The piece of metal made a clinging sound as it spun in the air,its metallic sound ringing in Jack's ear as his eyes stayed fixed on the coin. Even his teacher was surprised, holding his breath while the coin started falling back down and landing on Jack's hand. 

As Jack and his teacher both saw what it was, the teacher sighed in relief, and Jack smiled as he clicked the Y option on the screen. Suddenly, his skill tree popped up in front of him. With a few new things

[Skill tree: Jack Hoff]

Rank: inferior II (higher)

Class: Blacksmith

Inventory: Aquamarine fangs, Obsidian Flaming Armor, Rhuthras Hammer

GENE SKILL:

Devil's deck (inferior): the user is able to shuffle a deck of cards, excluding the king, queen, and jack for now. Whatever card the user lands on will grant him a certain effect.

The heart heals any injury or status condition the user may have received.

Diamond creates a protective barrier around the user.

Club provides users with a physical boost in all their physical capabilities.

Spade: anything the user has killed can be summoned to aid them in battle.

The number on the card drawn determines the strength of the ability or its effectiveness. The spade summons will be automatically assigned a number based on their rank between 1 and 10. New summons can be exchanged with old ones, but the numbers will always be decided via strength.

There is a cooldown between drawing cards, and when the next card is drawn, the effects of the old card are replaced.

Class Skills:

Identification: the ability allows the user to identify the nature of any material and its natural compatibilities, its rank, its average price, etc. This ability can be used on other creatures to see their skill page if they have any, and if they don't, it can be used to see their rank and skills if they have any. 

GENE TRAIT

Devil's Hand: The user has increased luck while gambling, but their luck is reduced while doing anything else.

Merits: 5760]

"Congratulations, Jack, and thank you," the old teacher smiled as the hologram slowly started disappearing while Jack was busy reading the skill tree. noticing the voice, he realized it was really over. He smiled as he bid his friend and teacher a final farewell. "Why are you thanking me? I should be the one thanking you. Thank you so much," Jack said, feeling even his eyes grow a bit moist due to him having spent the last 8 months with this man. 

"Don't worry, we'll meet again eventually if you survive. Best of luck, Jack," the hologram said as it finally turned into white light particles and the orb projecting it fell to the ground. 

The wall in front of Jack shook suddenly before he had time to deal with his emotions as it crumbled, revealing a door behind as it swung open into what can be described as a very bright white light into the unknown. Jack sighed, knowing he had to walk forward, and so he did. 

As he escaped the dungeon, stepping into the light, the world around him shifted. Everything went white as Jack found himself where the entrance to the dungeon used to be. And he wasn't alone; standing right behind him was the creature who dragged away the wolf's corpse that he had killed. It was a giant bear, as Jack looked at it. The creature growled at the tiny man in front of him.

"Bad timing, dude," Jack said as he drew out his aquamarine fangs, his breath steady unlike before, when he would panic or let his anger get the better of him. He had learned to be better, but not kind. "I am in a really bad mood right now."
