Why me

"Wake up scumbag" I awoke to a squeaky sounding voice. As I got up from the cement that was my bed. I couldn't help but think what went wrong with our heist. There were many factors at play. One of them was the guild backstabbing me and running away with the money. Let me elaborate, we did the heist perfectly but our ohh so great leader decided to stab me. She then placed a replica of the object we were stealing on me. I was then discovered by a Paladin guard. I was placed in a (Cement only) prison cell straight away. Now look I could explain all the details (that were fishy) to me but that doesn't matter. What matters is what right now is in front of me. A muscular women with scars everywhere is grabbing me by the neck and pulling me to a room with a lot of people in it. I was then dragged to a cage in the middle of the room. I realized what this when I saw the people. I was going to be sold. Slavery was common for criminals but dam why me. "Slaves name is Benny, he's a bard." Some of the audience looked interested. "Level 5" that got people's attention but "He is has affinity for boosting magic." Now that has everyone's attention. I would like to know how she knew this."I also have many sex diseases!" I shout to deter people from buying me, but that was a bad mistake. I was then shocked somehow, I was in pain and confused. " Shut up slave! You will not talk or you get shocked. Trust me slave I can kill you if the need arises" She said in an stony squeaky voice. I really want to laugh at voice but she seems like the type to kill me for it. "Let the bids start at 2 gold."

I was bought by a Knight. I don't know what gender but they don't seem mean. I mean they have been nice to me so far. "Come bard let go to the forest dungeon. All I need you to do is boast my speed and strength." Simple enough "Okay my master sir" Hehe just a little joke but I doesnt seem to get a reaction.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Once we are inside the dungeon we were swarmed by tree ants and goblins. I did my job like a good boy but the very we got down the more monsters seemed attract to us. I voiced my opinion on this matter. "Master doesn't it seen strange that there are more monster finding us. This is a beginner dungeon after all." Now that got a reaction out of him. He seemed to stiffen at my comment. Strange "Bard focus on support not on anything else." ok now that was really strange but I did what I was told.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

We are in front of a Weird looking tree right now. Something seem off. I comment about it master replys with "I sense magic on that tree. Be careful its probably a elemental." ok now how could he kno [Swish] A huge vine smacks next to me. I do a totally manly (Scream) warcry. "What the fuck is that!" in front of us is the tree has transformed into a vine tentacle tree elemental. "Bard shut the fuck up and boost my power" I do just that and he jumps towards the monster. My masters seem to mutter something I can not hear. He slash the elemental with a Dark flame?? empowered slash that full on destroys the creature. We sit in silence for a while uncomprehending what he/she just did. master finally speaks"Speak bard tell me what you are thinking." I was afraid because I realized what power master just used. It is only a skill that can be from a dark class, now it makes sense all those creatures were attracted by masters mana. <You see people with Dark clases are normally really strong but that comes at a price of being hunted by monster more. Monsters use the same type of dark mana that dark classes use. You see the type of mana you use dictates what type of class you get. The way you become a god is through changing your mana into divine mana. Demon are formed by beings that try and change their mana and in turn change there class but fail. So their body gets transformed into the type of mana demon. People that transform their mana successfully become ascendant allowing them to use two types of mana and having a more powerful class .> "Master why did you buy me?" He/She probably didn't expect that by their bodytone. " Bard I bought you because its is hard to recruit someone with support magic as a dark paladin." makes sense, surprised that He/She is a Dark paladin. "Bard lets carry on towards the boss." sure why not "Sure Master!"

So we move on killing everything till we got to the boss ( A huge tree elemental). The dungeon the spawn our rewards and we left. Instead of going to the city master wanted to go to a town nearby to sell our rewards to the guild there. Once we got there we sold our rewards. We took some bounties for tomorrow and went to tavern to rest for the night.

INFO: Dungeons: The dungeons are infinite they are like big doors in random places. Each person that goes in gets a different dungeon crawl. When entering your party has a timeframe to enter with you or the get spawned in a different generated dungeon loadout with different boss and enemies. Killing monster has a chance to drop thing and killing bosses always spawns a chest.

Mana: Mana is the thing that dictates your entire identity. So necromancers will alway have dark mana. Bards have support mana. Paladins will have light mana. Fire mages will have fire mana. Monsters use dark mana. So a fire imp will have dark mana that imitates fire mana. Gods will have divine mana. Normal people can become gods through being worshiped. Ascendant human are humans that have two mana types. The gain this through collecting another mana type and trying to use it. If you fail the man the being has collect will change them into a demon of the type of mana that the were trying to use. If succeeded the being will gain an additional mana pool and the class will change into something more powerful than the old class.
