Chapter 18 – Class Enhancemen (1/2)

t

The city where the emperor is called the Imperial Capital, also just called the capital. There were four major cities of a slightly lower different level outside of it called Azure Dragon City White Tiger City, Black Tortoise City and Vermilion Bird City.

The major city Fatty was closest to was Black Tortoise City, so that’s where he chose to teleported to.

Since Fatty had used up a bit of time with the rat, many other players had already reached level 10, so the streets were already starting to fill up. After a few turns from the teleportation formation, he arrived at the Class Enhancement Hall. A thin and slightly meek-looking rogue stood behind a table with some words floating above his head – Rogue Class Enhancer – Salka.

“Sir, I want to get my class enhancement,” Fatty ran in front of Salka and asked to get his class enhancement.

“Oh, my little rogue, you’ve finally arrived. Come, let the great rogue class flourish start from you,” Salka smiled.

“That’s it?” Fatty waited for a moment, then didn’t noticed anything. He checked his status board. Still a Thief.

“F*ck you, you want to get your class enhancement without paying?” Salka was furious. “It’s ten gold coins in total.”

“This is a robbery!” Fatty was outraged. “Getting a damn class enhancement costs ten gold coins? Why don’t you just go and rob a bank!?”

“Would I be doing this if I can actually rob a bank!?” Salka said with disdain. “Do you want your class enhancement or not?”

“Ugh, fine,” Fatty understood that he needed to give in due to being in Salka’s territory. “No matter what, I’m the first rogue player to come get a class enhancement, so you should give me some discount, right?”

“Tsk, you’re the first?” Salka glanced at Fatty with disdain. “You’re the second at best.”

“What? Which mother*cker dared to steal my spot and turned me into number two!?” Fatty clenched his teeth, then used his trump card. “My respectable mentor, Alchemy Grandmaster Reck asked me to deliver a message. He said that he misses the days he used to spend with you.”

“What? Reck?” Salka exclaimed. “That bastard’s still alive? This makes no sense, why is he still alive!?”

F*ck, are they old friend or old enemies? Fatty felt a bit worried. Maybe I should come back tomorrow?

“Damn Reck, that son of a bitch! If it wasn’t because he lost the Poison Immunity Orb, then I wouldn’t have lost my honorary nobility and ended up in this tiny city to do something as shitty as class enhancing,” Salka continued to curse.

“I see, that that’s how it is,” Fatty straightened his back. “O Honorary Noble, I have something to inform you about.”

“What happened, little rogue? Don’t tell me that you don’t have ten gold coins. If you dare to say that, then I’ll throw you outside the door,” Salka looked at Fatty and lifted his boney arm.

“It’s about the Poison Immunity Orb,” Fatty rolled his eyes.

“What did you say? Poison Immunity Orb? You know where it is?” Salka jumped up and grabbed Fatty by his collar.

“Ahem,” Fatty struggled out of Salka’s grasp, “Mr. Reck, the Alchemy Grandmaster, has already discovered the location of the Poison Immunity Orb and retrieved it. Oh yeah, he managed to retrieve it with my help.”

“Oh? That damn Reck found the Poison Immunity Orb? And it was with your help? Good, that’s amazing,” Salka went back behind his table. “Cute little rogue, I’ll give you a mission right now. There is a disgusting mass grave outside the south gate. It’s filled with despicable skeletons. I’ll give you your class enhancement if you go over and find a skeleton’s Spark.

Ding.

System Notification: You have accepted the mission “Class Enhancement”.

Mission Summary: Retrieve a Skeletal Spark from Mass Grave and hand it to Salka – the Rogue Class Enhancer.

Thus, Fatty went over to the warehouse to sort out his items before heading out once more.

After he walked out of the gate, he turned towards the east and passed through a forest to arrive at his destination – Mass Grave.

The area was ghastly and horrifying. Several skeletons, which looked like that were going to fall apart, held rusted swords and patrolled around wobbly with loud creaks. The ground was covered in rotten corpses, while a large azure stone leaned on the ground with the name “Mass Grave” on it.

Fatty used Appraisal on one of the skeletons.

Skeletal Soldier

Level: 11

Attack: 70 – 85

Defense: 30

HP: 500

Notes: A warrior who died on the battlefield. His inextinguishable soul of battle revived it, allowing it to become a spooky skeleton to wait for the chance to step onto the battlefield once more.

It was a high attack monster with low defense and health.

“Hah!” Fatty raced up to it and used Combo.

—90

—80

—70

-90

-80

-70

The use of the skill immediately dropped half of the monster’s health. The skeletal soldier opened its mouth and howled before hacking at Fatty with its rusted sword.

Since Fatty wanted to test his own defense, he merely stood still and allowed the skeletal soldier’s attack to connect.

-40

Not too shabby. Although Fatty didn’t have a lot of health, as long as he didn’t get surrounded by skeletal soldiers, he was still pretty safe while killing them.

Since he managed to test his defense, Fatty didn’t hold back anymore. He lunged over and dealt 80 damage to the monster, then swept kicked it, before finishing it off with two more hits, causing the skeletal soldier to crumble onto the ground.

Clink.

Two bronze coins fell onto the ground. Fatty rolled his eyes, but still picked them up before casting Harvest on it. Ugh, it really was pitifully poor. It didn’t give me anything!

Hmmm, no Skeletal Spark though. I guess it was too low level. I guess that makes sense, it wouldn’t be a class enhancement mission if a normal mob would drop it.

The EXP isn’t bad though. My EXP bar increased by 0.1%.

Several skeletal soldiers with scraps on them wandered aimlessly around in the distance. There were no other types of monsters in sight. Fatty clicked open the map, but all it showed was Mass Grave. There was no actually any other information.

So, Fatty could only check out the forums, only to find that since most of the players were very low level, nobody had come there to farm yet, and so he had nothing to base his search on.

Since Fatty guessed that killing normal skeletal soldiers wouldn’t help him complete his mission, he couldn’t be bothered with them anymore. He wandered around to see if there were any other creatures. Since skeletal soldiers were passive monsters, so they merely continued their aimless patrol without anyone attacking them.

After a while, Fatty proved that hard work really does pay off. He managed to find a dark hole in the corner of the Mass Graves.
