After two hours of arduous and never-ending grinding, Frank managed to defeat two more Boss-type monsters, managing to get more dropped items of high quality, although he didn't manage to get something like the boots, or helmet of the set of armor, and got repeated items of the set he already got. ​​

Alongside this, he got a few Runes, potions, and a ton of Magic Crystals, deciding to save them for later.

There were also around ten Skill Books he grinded from the Bosses and also from the normal monsters, although he did not get a new Evil Eye Skill Book, he had several repeated ones for the Blazing Claw, Shadow Bullet, and Fire Breath Skills, deciding to learn the ones he did not had and saving all the repeated ones to either gift them or sell them for App Points whenever he had the shop opened.

By seeing his large Skillset, Frank could not help but think that he had a ton of Skills now and seemed to slowly begin to think that something like Skill Fusions might come in handy, although he did not know how to fuse them and there did not seem to be an option for that in the System.

Perhaps if he were to acquire a Skill Fusion Skill… But unless he unlocked the App Shop, such a thought had to be put away.

[You learned the [Blazing Claw: Level 1], [Shadow Bullet: Level 1], and [Fire Breath: Level 1] Skills!]

By training his Skills through his Light Clone, Frank also managed to finally reach the max level in a few Skills, which surprisingly 'awakened' and became stronger Skills…

[The [Dirt: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Dirt Shaping: Level 1] Skill!]

[The [Bronze Skin: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Silver Skin: Level 1] Skill!]

[The [Gust: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Storm: Level 1] Skill!]

"These guys finally awakened… Damn, Dirt… Did you just finally become useful?!"

Frank quickly discovered that now Dirt was not just about creating a handful of dirt, as it let him shape the dirt he created and also any other type of dirt that was around one meter of distance from his hands!

Frank really felt like he could be a Minecraft character now!

"Maybe I should create several Underground hideous with this power…" he thought.

Meanwhile, Silver Skin was an upgraded version of Bronze Skin that could increase the durability of Frank's skin to become as hard as silver.

And lastly, Storm was a stronger version than Gust, now instead of a strong yet not so impactful wave of wind, he was able to generate strong winds with a lot of force packed into them.

Alongside this, Frank even discovered that he could even generate a slight amount of lightning with it, but for its intensity to become stronger, he would need to level up the Skill some more.

Alongside defeating monsters and leveling up Skills through his Light Clone, Frank managed to reach Level 20 as well, finally 'maxing' his current Job and being given the chance to pick a new one!

[Your level has increased to level 20!]

[All of your stats have increased]

[Skill Proficiency Bonus Earned]

[Several Skills have leveled up!]

[Due to having reached Level 20 with the [Gray Magician] Job, you acquired the [Magic Infusion: Level 1] Skill!]

[Due to having reached Level 20 with the [Gray Magician] Job, you acquired the [Apprentice Wizard] Title!]

[Due to the effect of the [Apprentice Wizard] Title, you acquired the [Blessed by Mana: Level 1] Skill!]

[You have reached the requirements for Job Change!]

[Magic Infusion: Level 1/10]

The Skill that an experienced magician has learned through their life of studying magic.

Through this skill, the user is capable of infusing several Magic Effects into items, turning them into Magic Items or Artifacts.

Effects are limited to the Spells the user possesses and Skills effects cannot be infused into items… yet.

[Blessed by Mana: Level 1/10]

A Skill that encompasses [Mana Super Recovery], [Mana Enlargement], and [Increased Mana Recovery Rate]

A Skill that only those blessed by Mana can acquire, through this Skill your Maximum Mana increases as you level up even faster, alongside your recovery rate and the recovery rate speed.

Alongside this, you have an easier time creating Spells.

"At last, level 20. I can now change to my third Job, what should I even pick?" wondered Frank, as he checked his available Job Options.

[Available Job Options]

[Spear Warrior] > [Purgatory Flames Spear Knight] (Evolved!), [Rogue] > [Shadow Assassin] (Evolved!), [Thread Master] > [Thread and Item Manufacturer] (Evolved!), [Hades Necromancer] (New!), [Dungeon Master] (New!)

"Hm? The Jobs I didn't pick earlier… evolved?"

Frank just took a glance at his available Job Options and found that the Spear Warrior, Rogue, and Thread Master Jobs had 'evolved' into supposedly better Jobs.

"But why? Do Jobs adjust to my current power as I level up and get new Skills and other stuff?" wondered Frank.

It seemed that it was the case, as Frank's Job was now strengthened and changed into differently-named versions, although Frank did not remember using a Spear for some time, he had used Purgatory Flames while shaping them as spears… Did that even count?

And then, Shadow Assassin instead of Rogue was rather fitting, Frank supposed, as it was related to how he had the Assassin Title.

But then, Thread Master had turned into Thread and Item Manufacturer, something completely different than just Thread Master.

"Perhaps the whole Job was eventually going to lead to something related with crafting?" wondered Frank.

"Well, seeing how I got such useful Skills by maxing my current Job, any of these Jobs will give me useful Skills, which I suppose is two per Job, right? I am tempted to pick Necromancer… But then Shadow Assassin seems enticing if it can give me the ability to sneak easily behind enemies and slay them swiftly… But I doubt it will be of much use against a group of monsters and stuff, right? …Well then, I will just pick this Job for now," sighed Frank.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Hades Necromancer]!]

[The Level cap has increased by 10 Levels!]

[All of your stats have increased!]

[Skill Proficiency Bonus acquired!]

[The Levels of several Skills have increased!]

[The [Parallel Thinking: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Parallel Minds: Level 1] Skill!]

[The [Sonar Wave: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Telepathy: Level 1] Skill!]

"More Skills awakened! Does it seem that the bonus skill proficiency is just spread around all of my Skills? Well, I guess that even by having a lot I will still level them up steadily… Parallel Thinking became… Parallel Minds? Does this mean that I can get another mind inside my head? No way…" thought Frank.

"You bet on it!"

Suddenly, another voice, similar to Frank but with a more childish tone emerged inside of Frank's head!

"What…? It really does gives me… another mind? Isn't this schizophrenia though?" wondered Frank.

"No, it's a Skill, idiot," said Frank's Parallel Mind.

"Okay, no need to get so angry, you're me after all," said Frank.

"True, true, let's be friends," said Frank's Parallel Mind.

"…This is awkward," sighed Frank.

"Not as awkward as you, who gets surprised for every single Skill. I mean, get over it bud. Let's face it, you got some pretty cheat Skills," said Frank's Parallel Mind.

"…Alright, deactivate Parallel Mind Skill," muttered Frank.

"Woah wait-"

And like that, Frank's mind was once more in peace.

"Anyways… The other Skill seems like a bit of a stretch, how are Sonar Waves related to Telepathy? Oh, perhaps because Sonar Waves are used to communicate and sense things from far away? So I guess by using the same formula, I can use Telepathy? Well, whatever, it is a way better Skill than just Sonar Wave," said Frank while nodding.

Now that he was finally done with things, he had tried to experiment in letting a Domain opened in the Divine Realm of Abraddon, but it seemed to not work, as every time he left the Domains, they would be destroyed automatically, meaning that they could only exist as long as Frank was inside of them, his Light Clone did not work either.

"I guess it doesn't work, but maybe if I awaken the Skill? I can only hope, for now, time to go to bed, thanks a lot Abraddon, Thineas," said Frank.

"Good night, boy," said Abraddon.

"Oh, wait for a second, Frank, come here," said Thineas.

"Yes?" said Frank, walking towards Thineas as she glanced at him from above, she was rather tall compared to him.

"Let me give you my Divine Protection," said Thineas with a motherly smile, as she approached her lips towards Frank.

Frank was paralyzed as the beautiful Goddess kissed his forehead, the moment she did, he felt a slight rush of power enter his soul and seep deep within.

Ding!

[You acquired [Thineas' Divine Protection: Level -]!]

"Oh! So that was it, thanks a lot," said Frank, gently waving his head.

"No problem, Frank. It's the leas it could do, and I had just forgotten to give it to you when you healed my wounds. May your day be as good as always," said the goddess of life, sending Frank off the Divine Realm.

"Did you need to tease the young boy like that?" asked Abraddon.

"Fufu, I liked the face he did…" said Thineas playfully.

"Hmm… Don't tell me…" muttered Abraddon.

"Eh? Haha, no, I do not feel anything for Frank… …Actually, I think I do… It feels weird, now that I think about it since he gave me Death Attribute Mana… the boy seems to have some kind of Death Attribute Charm of sorts, and he is slowly getting into my head! Oh no, this is a forbidden love, whatever should I do?" asked Thineas dramatically.

"You're such a drama queen, stop lying…" sighed Abraddon.

"Hahaha! I almost got you!" laughed Thineas.
