Chapter: 1

A strong wind caused a tree branch to beat against Jay’s window, stirring him awake.

“Ah, finally, today is the day of my class awakening” thought Jay as he got out of bed with a spring in his step.

He freshened up with some water before making his way downstairs for breakfast.

Cooking up a fish, Jay began scoffing it down as he thought about how his life was going to change, getting more enthused with each passing second.

For a moment, he gazed out the window at some mist-sheep in a nearby field, watching as they phased in and out of the mist – disappearing and reappearing.

Since Jay watched the sheep every morning as he ate breakfast alone, he began to feel a little sentimental.

“This might be the last week I live in this village…” he thought with a solemn smile before cleaning up his plate.

Today was the day he would get his class, it would open up new opportunities in his life, and allow him to leave this small, quiet village – and nothing was going to stop him from enjoying every moment.

“The wait is almost over,” smiled Jay, thinking he could finally start killing monsters, levelling up, and officially start his journey as an adventurer.

“But the first step is touching the mana conduit.”

Getting up from breakfast, Jay left his small house, which was a two story butchery. He started walking towards the only building in town with a mana conduit: the Adventurers guild.

The mana conduit was a large magic crystal that gave adventurers their class when they touched it.

By law, everyone who turned 18 years old that year must place their hand on a mana conduit on the 7th day of the 7th month. This is done in order to gain a class, and no one would ever break this rule, as getting a class benefited everyone.

After all, not getting a class would mean you would get no skills, abilities or magic power.

Without those, you would have to live a quiet, boring life; a punishment for someone like Jay.

Looking at the dark cloudy sky as he walked through the stone streets, he frowned slightly..

“Ah, just my luck, rain… Better pull over my hood” He thought as he pulled up black hood.

“The rain sucks, but today is still going to be great though, a little rain won’t dampen my mood” he encouraged himself with a chuckle, smiling under his hood.

Walking along the muddy path towards the adventurers guild, Jay was tempted to curse at the dreary weather as it started to sprinkle a little more heavily now.

Meanwhile, more thick, dark clouds gathered overhead – blocking out any chances of sunlight gleaming through.

Jay pursed his lips; he would’ve stayed home if he had the choice – however, if someone failed to reach a mana conduit then they wouldn’t get a class.

They would be cursed to live a life as a mediocre civilian at the mercy of the beasts, monsters and other races in this magical and medieval world; so on this special day, even snow would not stop Jay.

With a sigh, Jay pushed on.

“Halfway up the mountain now, nearly there… I hope my practice with the knife gives me a cool swordsman class.” he thought to himself.

“Surely the system will take into account that I’ve been using a knife as a butcher for the last few years… Ooo, maybe it will even give me a rare passive ability…” his eyes became more excited.
