Master Of None Chapter 22

"Obviously I'm going to be making enough money for the orphanage so all my brothers and sisters can attend the academy." Remey had said something to why should have expected but Walker still could imagine her yelling she wanted power.
"That would be the best way to rise in status. The academy graduation could easily yield them a title which allows for an easy life. Even if not they won't ever starve." Su seemed more knowledgeable on this subject than expected.
"That leaves the leader! Tells us your dreams and ambitions." Gil jumped in laughing at his own bravado.
Walker was thinking and could see many paths before him. He knew he would need to feed Midnight no matter what. He may not be a true tamer but since they had an equal bond he could not betray her trust. He would also like to support his family, his father has worked incredibly hard and deserves time to relax. However the drive to meet more people, see new things, and travel was a strong flame in his heart.
"I have responsibilities to support my family and help Midnight grow stronger. But through all the running around trying to find my system I've discovered a thirst for new adventures. So I will explore, maybe take Midnight to the mountains to find other dragons, I know the ruins to the south west have treasures so maybe there one day, and what kind of magic could I learn from elves if I could get through all those forests?" As he spoke more and more ideas came to mind he felt the need to write them all and keep adding to the list.

Mental archive- 0 mana cost
Within you is a vast sea, shaping this sea there is an archive full of knowledge. You can store any and all information you consume within.
Would the user like to learn mental archive?'
" oh this will be great I'll be able to remember maps while we travel. Yes, learn mental archive.!" The sudden outburst worried the others but they started to brush it off having a feeling walker would explain something cool soon.
'User has learned mental archive.'
Immediately walker felt his mind had expended. He could sense a space within him filled with bookshelves full of blank books. As his thoughts raced he could sense words appearing in him. The words of his companions and all his experiences written and ready to be recounted in an instant.
"I just got a skill, this will help us immensely. I wanted to remember everything I was thinking and everything you all said and suddenly I got a skill called mental archive. It records the information I absorb and records it in a mental archive basically to me it looks like a library in my mind. I guess I'll never be without a map." Walker ended with a slight laugh happy to share the good news of how he'll be able to help more.
"Well at least it's not another dragon or flashy space magic" Remey said releasing the tension in the room as everyone had prepared for something dramatic.
"So now that We've said what we strive for I think we should talk about gear we might need. I know I might be leaving you out of this Gil but the materials you gathered would most likely harm your skills. I think it might be hard to move around in heavier scale armor let alone be noisy".

Gil didn't look sad at all; he knew his speed and silence was an important factor to scouting and hunting. But he had been thinking about these scales as well and came up with an idea. "We should make Su a better shield, I think she will benefit more than most of us based on the strength of the materials, I also have a feeling it might be lighter than the shield she has." Walker immediately nodded in agreement and Su's usual serious face was showing a slight smile.
"We should strengthen those iron knuckles you have there too, Remey. If you're out dealing high physical damage we will be in a bind if they break." Walker jumped on to the flow Gil had started continuing it. "I also would like to see if I can have some sort of staff made, if I'm going to heal and support and even use attack magic later it will be important in conserving my mana."
These ideas formed a nice plan but there was one thing they needed to do to truly implement it. "I guess tomorrow we will be heading to the forge. I'm not sure if it will be easy to find someone who will work with us since we are lower tier but I think we can convince them by showing them the materials" with that walker gave them all directions to his home so they could meet and walk together. The excitement could be seen in every one of their eyes, visiting the forge as a lower tier adventurer was a big deal!
The day had definitely begun to fade as Walker left the adventurers guild saying farewell to his party. Midnight was quick to stand by his side constantly looking at her eyes absorbing new things constantly. Walker had hoped she wouldn't immediately rush to eat anything being sold on the streets as he knew how ravenous she was with the newts.
Due to the transition from day to night he was lucky to avoid the busier areas of the market. Once dark encroached the night life exploded as inns and other eateries opened their doors to drinkers.
Soon a thought began to emerge as he walked...how do I introduce a dragon to my family?
The shock of this though immediately stopped him in his tracks causing midnight to perk her head up and look around for danger. Walker had totally forgotten in his excitement and planning that he needed to explain to his family that he now had a dragon in his party! Not to mention one that was equally bound to him for life! The thought of terrifying his little sister caused his brows to crumple in worry. But he had to choose. He was only a few minutes walk from home and he needed to muster his courage no matter what!
It was time to meet the family!

Glass Cannon
Mortal Coil is the best VRMMO in the market with millions of people playing it! In this game, two best friends made a bet with each other. Whoever becomes the #1 ranked would win. Such a simple bet, but to them, it was like a declaration of war. Being two of the most stubborn individuals on the planet that saw loss as a personal offense, they made this last bet before cutting off their friendship due to some... complicated matters(Don't worry It'll get explained in the book). The problem was, that one was super talented at the game, and the other was super shit. This story revolves around that player. No, not the talented one, the shit one. Hated by many for his rather "uncouth" strategies (one of which included hitting a guy in the back of the head with a wooden board, stealing all his stuff and leaving him stark naked in the middle of the woods), his name is Jack. Oh, and did I mention he's a min-Maxed for health which drives people insane? Unfortunately, as luck would have it, he stumbles upon the worst possible hidden class for him. Warrior of Glass. A class with insanely high attack power... and insanely low HP. He's also given a quest to retrieve a sword in the middle of the Ashen Forest (lovingly nicknamed "Suicide Woods" by the players) and another quest to kill 7 insanely powerful demon lords that roam the lands so he can fulfill his predecessor's legacy. Now, armed only with a veeery high damage output, an unbendable will of steel and his almost nonexistent sense of guilt (emphasis on almost), he still aims to become the #1 player. This time, with some serious handicaps.
