Chapter 36 (2/2)

Thulhu took it and felt surprised. The piece of paper was also a page from a book.

It was written in ancient Heber and described a ritual called “Descent of Ill Fate,” which could change the constitution of a rank one [Apprentice] and accustom the person to the power of death and misfortune. As a result, the person would become a rank two [The Ill-Fated]!

Thulhu remembered the occupation, which was the condition for upgrading [Corpse Princess]. This page might have come from the same book as the first one, as Roald had gotten them both from the secret group!

Thulhu just realized that [The Ill-Fated] was a rank two occupation.

“It’s about a rank two occupation. I have to become an [Apprentice] first. How do I do that?” Thulhu asked.

“No idea…” Roald scratched his head. “If I knew, I would have already told you.”

But before Thulhu said anything, Roald hurriedly added, “But [Apprentice] and [Soldier] are the two most common occupations. Some major groups, such as the churches of the Seven Gods and the union government, must have the information! Our family historically had a close relationship with the Goddess of Light Church. Well, it shouldn’t be too difficult for you to get the information from them through a proper trade.”

In other words, because Thulhu was from a decent family, he could pass the background check relatively easily.

Thulhu was a bit speechless. “But if I can talk to the church and even find a way to trade with them, I might as well just join the church, right? There must be far better options than becoming [The Ill-Fated]. Why should I bother picking this dark occupation if that’s the case?”

In Thulhu’s eyes, the occupation [The Ill-Fated] sounded just as evil as Katherine’s occupation.

Also, based on his personal experience, he didn’t believe that the Goddess of Light Church would be nice to an extraordinary.

If Thulhu had his way, he would rather stay away from the dark side of the world, or stay neutral at least.

Making an enemy of the church and even the entire world as a single individual didn’t sound like a lot of fun to him.

Picking the right occupation was clearly just as crucial in this world as in his past life.

“Sorry… I went off-track…”

Roald patted his head. “It’s true that the group wasn’t anything good at all. Its members were like rats in the sewers, hiding in the dark. It’s by no means a good occupation. However, even if you could join the church, it would still be hard for you to win their recognition and earn enough credit; it’s the same with the union government… What I was thinking was that… if you choose to become a necromancer and learn more about the power of death, it might be easier for you to deal with Beatrice in the future…”

Right, Beatrice… Thulhu almost forgot.

He was lost in thought.

If he became a necromancer, he would probably have an edge over Beatrice.

Looking at it that way, becoming [The Ill-Fated] now was much more acceptable to Thulhu.

However, he still had to figure out how to become an [Apprentice] first.

“I… I still have to think about it!”

Thulhu was cautious in his reply.

“I see. You do need more time to think about it. The system is very complex… You can never be too careful. Plan for your future well!”

Roald nodded. “You’re not taking classes anymore, right?”

“Yes?” Thulhu replied.

“Then, I have to find a place to properly give you the family training you missed! It’ll be very useful to you in the future!” said Roald seriously.

So, Roald was going to have Thulhu make up his missed lessons?

Thinking of the horrifying tools in Roald’s suitcase, Thulhu didn’t think it was going to be a pleasant experience.
