Okay, so the mage class has won a poll. Congratulation everyone who vote on this one. Shame on everyone else. In comments under last chapter there were ideas of makin’ jack of all wizard class.

Nope. Ain’t goin’ to happen. But! I decided to make as general class as possible who would have access to pretty nice amount of spell classes and can get upgraded into most of all well known wizards. Ok not all… he ain’t goin to become a priest… but who likes reading about priests anyway?

Ah this is one more describing-like chapter… I promise now! Action will start from the next one! Don’t hurt me please!! :C

and a class I decided to give him iiiis:

I was sitting near the campfire. It was early in the morning, the sun has barely risen and most of the villagers were still sleeping. And I was wondering what I want to do with my life. Tha! I sounded like some university graduate who is thinking to what kind of job he should sent his application.

What is a power to me?

Is it becoming a warrior? A leader of many who leads army to victory? A hero of nation?

Is it becoming a hunter? Lead a steady life till moment of getting enough experience, and that instead of hunting animals start hunting humans? To take a kings out with one drop of poison? To crush a rebellions with one swing of dagger?

Is it becoming a mage? To understand all kind of arcane knowledge, take a power from the same source as gods? To summon a mighty beast, command the oceans, run a firestorm on the battlefields? Oh this last one sounds nice! Can ya image me standing inside of the inferno, looking at left and right on hell I bring? Oh, I surly can.

Okay, being warrior and assassin surly sounds nice, but! No as nice as being a motha’ fucka’ hellbringer!

- Status! Class select!

Ding [ there are 3 possible evolution of your current class [None], those are:

[Warrior], [Rogue], [Mage]. Please select wisely. It’s extremely hard to change one already picked class. There will be possibilities of adding more branches in the future or you can focus on improving already possessed one.]

- I pick a Mage class

Ding [ Are you sure you want to choose a [Mage] class? Once picked class is very..

- Yes, yes I know! Hard to change as fuck! Pick it!

Ding [Are you REALLY sure?]

- YES!

Ding [ Are you REALLY, REALLY SURE?!]

… what the…

-…yes?

Ding [eh, don’t say I didn’t warn you… better bite a pillow]

What the fuck is wrong with the last one message?

Ding [Your mana veins will be forcibly open now. This process is extremely painful and have high death ratio. The possibility of death is being blocked by [The system]. Proceeding to the 1st stage]

As the BlueBox vanished something shocked inside of me. My stomach get tight and in next moment I threw out my breakfast. Eh it’s not that bad… I get warm on my chest in the heart level. warmth turned into heat, and heat turned into burning like sensation. And then I felt like my heart is being ripped off through my ribs.

I screamed. No, no just screamed. Saying it hurt like hell is a humiliation for this pain. There is no torture that can cause such agony!

Ding [process of opening Mana Veins is being executed. Time Remaining: 4h:58m:46s]

You are kidding me… OUTCH FOR GOD FUCKING SAKE! And it stopped. For a second in which I took a deeper breath, in next moment that breath was forced outside from me.

From my heart there where threads spreading to my whole body. It felt as if someone would inject acid to your veins. Damn stop it! STOP IT NOW!

Ding [ Command impossible to execute]

FUCK! FUCK YOU! FUCK THEM! FUCK EVERYTHING! GAH! The awful headache was added, my whole brain was pulsating… I would threw out again if my stomach wasn’t already empty. I was convulsing on the ground. Kill me… KILL ME PLEASE!

[Time Remaining 4h:56m:21s]. no… No, No, NO, NO, NO! It’s impossible! Why for fuck sake I picked that fucking mage class? I could pick a god damned warrior! Or rouge! Or fucking fisherman! Make me faint! Please! I don’t want to be conscious!

Ding [ User have to be in awoken state in order for process to end successfully]

No! why! I couldn’t even cry… I have stopped screaming too. It just deny my breathing. I was choking but couldn’t die? WHY!?

[Time Remaining: 3h21m:33s]

I didn’t get used to it. Not at all. Now I felt every single vein inside of myself, but there was something way worse… there were seven … “places”, where the pain was accumulated, every single one of them is located near the line that divide my body in half… the tip of my head, my forehead, throat, heart, solar plexus… wait… those are chakras? You are fucking kiddin me?! HAAHAHAHA oh my god! It’s ridiculous! What’s next? Yoga training? But please… make it stop already… make it stop… I sobbed… I am able to cry a little now… I wasn’t aware of my surrounding till now… seem somebody has moved me… I am laying on the bed… tied up? Ah, in order to not hurt myself… you are sweat little ones.

[Time Remaining: 2h:11min:33s]

The Pain is everywhere, but I can ignore part of it. I have just completely throw my all thought away, making my mind clear… there still was this annoying pulsating like pain.

Ding [ user is showing signs of adapting to mana flow,

executing acceleration of mana flow.

Remaining time will shorten,

Effects will increase]

[Remaining time: 0h:32min:48s]

What do you mean by mana flow acceleration?

GUH!!! GWAAAH! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!

I COULD WAIT THOSE 2 HOURS!

I LL FIND YOU, YOU DAMNED WHORE AND RIP YOUR SPINE OFF! I’LL EAT YOU LIVER WHILE LOOKING AT YOUR EYES!

Ding [Possibility of permanent brain damage detected,

Reducing user’s mental capability for duration of process of execution in order to avoid possible damage]

What do you mean… by…[email protected](*$!*#^[email protected](I(@*#^&*@?

**^&$!)(*#^*&!&*#!?!?! I couldn’t form my thoughts… it was mostly like I felt emotions instead of pain… like most primal organisms… instead of pain it was more like: “Dangerous-run”, “Dangerous-run” … and all the time… I even saw countdown, but sings where completely exotic to me…

As I said this sentence, eyes of shaman widened. He screamed something at as he did some of his helpers started to cut my bonds of.

[Remaining time: 0h:0m:42s]

Nothing? Uh, I was lifted from the ground… literally! I was floating in the air! My stomach hurt! Like something is being condensate inside of it… it hurts!!! I turned to the fetal position in mid air… there was a ripping sensation, while screaming with all my might I pushed my hand and legs to direction, and in very same moment a shock wave escaped my body. The nearest trees has fallen, the dust covered everything. And I fell on the ground. Are my clothing were destroyed and now I am completely naked.

I just want to lay here for a minute or so…

[Witch

The lowest kind of mage that never has contact with magic before. He or she is autodidact, who is bounded with nature or chaos or both in the same time.

As witch magic is weak at beginning it is one of most balanced class, that can grown in any possible direction

A witch gain experience not only by killing, but alos while creating potions and hex bags, and while giving wise advices to common people who seeks her or his wisdom.

In some languages “witch” means: “the wise one”, in others: “the cursed one”, or “the was bringing curses”.

Depending on country and society you may be judged differently while your existence as witch would be detected

Avoid the contact with Holy kingdom, and member of “church of the light”

The most basic evolution path for witch is [Shaman] or [Druid], but many may be added depending on gathered knowledge, skills and relationship with various organizations and gods]

[Because of [Witch] class the [Alchemist] job has been given]

[Because of [Alchemist] job skill basic potion creation has been given]

[Because of [Alchemist] job skill herbalism has been given]

[Herbalism was consolidated with Appraisal skill and it’s exp level was raisen]

[Appraisal reached level 3]

[The wild mage

The wild mage is someone who didn’t study in any of “Academy of Magic”

Because of this you are not bounded with [Oath of pure magic], which forbid magicians to follow the path of dark mages. Because of it your class evolution path was greatly improved by classes like: [Demonologist], [Necromancer], [Blood Mage], [Hellbringer], [Curse Weaver], and many more.

Your relationship with all magic association will start at [Bad] level and will be harder to improve]

[You have gain a following skills: [Meditation], [Fire magic], [Nature Healing Magic], [Hex bags creation], [Summoning]

[Meditation level 1

Is a skill, when a user enter a state of higher awareness stance. Improve mental state while used.

Improve mana regeneration rate while used.

Improving this skill level will rise mental attribute

Improving this skill for certain amount of levels will give bonus skills]

[Fire magic level 1

The user of this elements have affinity to fire magic. The stronger this skill the more powerful his magic spells will become. Current Fire manifestation: Ignition, Fire bolt]

[Nature Healing Magic level 1

The user of this magic can speed up regeneration rate of the target, heal the target, and cure it. The stronger this skill is the stronger is healing amount, and stronger state effects can be purified. Current Healing manifestation: Regeneration boost]

[Hex bags creations level 1

Allows user to create basic Hex bags, that depending on user intentions, may contain curses or blessings.]

[Summoning level 1

Allows user to summon creatures from different realms those may be devils, angels, spirits, or spiritually inspired animals. Current possible summon creatures: Raven]

Okay. This now… is like a jackpot of skills… they are extremely weak, but! We will work on them… so, the alchemist and nature healing… I may get some cash for healing villagers…

But as I wanted to try those skills I got another ding

[Mana shock wave level 1

Manifestation of powerful raw force. This skill is very risky.

It uses a lot of mana, but has no cast time nor re-cast time. If user is not skilled he may be injured by the unleashed power. It is advised to not use this ability on target , that user is not decided to kill]

So… this skill is kinda double-edged weapon huh?

I got a lot of information that were not contained in boxes… like chants, how much mana skills takes, what ingredients are necessary to hex bags… that regeneration boost works better in meditation state and improve effects of potions, reducing the effects of poisons and sickness… well it’s on level 1 so this “improvement” is almost non-existing. Now… let’s distribute points?

Cuz’ I already have all possible relationship debuffs… avoid holy church, avoid holy kingdom, avoid magical association… for heaven and hell! Can I find some neutral kingdom please? Not even friendly one! Just such where I won’t be killed as only I put my feet there!

I had some prize at level 5, don’t I? how do I activate it?

[Do you want to open “classy bag” quest rewards?]

- I do…

[the witch set has been obtained:

witch robe has been obtained + 2 defense, mana regeneration up

wild mage bandana – appraisal-like skill and spells will be less effective while used on user

the ring of life eater – mana regeneration up, ????, ????, ????

the staff of traveler – damage 5-12

Those items are soul-bound, it means user can equip and unequip them by will. While unequipped those items enter void-state – will be no longer physical and will not grant any bonuses. Those items can’t be taken away from user]

[Do you want to equip these items?] accept. Anything is better that standing alone in the forest naked.

Oh how surprising! All of those cloths are black! Robe is completely covering my body, from under my neck to my ankles. All body but my right arm! One of the sleeves was missing leaving my tattooed arm uncovered… really? I am not proud of those! Sure, let’s show to while world that I am a friend with goblins! It will help me for sure!

Okay. Easy me, just easy. Soon I will head to human villages and towns… how do I know direction? I don’t! yet… but this summoning skill… even as it take 100 mana.. is very useful. Once summoned monster will remain with me until I un-summon it or it will die. And what is better way to know the direction if not sending a raven to the sky and look for some villages?

But this chant… in kinda creepy… aw, let’s do it already!

I have prepared myself and begin to chat…

Very fast pov change

Heira was sitting on her throne with glass of wine in hand with pleased smile plastered on her usually gloomed face. She looked on the scene of young witch-boy preparing to use his 1st spell ever.

- Go, Bahoru. Enjoy yourself – giggle was heard in room.

- With your allowance, my lady – figure behind became a mass of shadow and descended.

Told it will be fast pov, back to MC!:

- Spirits of Darkness, Answer my call,

For mountains will tremble, And havens shall fall,

I bid you my greetings, so give your lust,

For I shall not bow, To no kings nor Gods,

I walk my path, To desire and grief,

Your torment will end, In moment of brief,

Walk by my side, Oh creature of night,

For we shall conquer, This realm of blight,

Spirit of Darkness, Answer my plea,

For last hour of light, Is about to be.

(yeah I know that last rhyme is to shitty even for this whole shitty chant, but you have NO idea how long I was looking for rhyme to “plea”)

As I finished chanting, on the ground formed some kind of runic symbols (yup, I was expecting pentagram too, but it was not it), within it a mass of darkness was formed, first shapeless, than being to change. The darkens shoot out from the ground make few circles all around and in the very end the cloud of darkness was left by raven.

It flapped wings near me, waiting patiently. I have raised my arm, and this magnificent bird landed on my forearm. What an intelligent gaze it has… it’s big, not so enormous but you still feel some kind of respect while looking at him

- Hello partner – raven flapped his wings in respond. Oh this one is amazing. Guh, even with mana shortages I want to summon another one. But it ain’t going to happen, why? Limit! On current level of summoning spell I am limited to 1 raven!

- Okay boy, we will head now to the goblin village, grab my stuff, and then I will have job for you… do you even understand what I am talking to you? Or my insanity hit finally max level and I started talking with animals?

Oh he nodded. HE FUCKING NODDED! I HAVE FULL INTELIGENT MOTHA’ FUCKIN’ RAVEN! Uh.. make him node one more time to be sure… HE DID IT AGAIN! I AM NOT INSANE! AHAHAHA, cought cought… okay me, easy me, screaming that you are not insane makes you look even more insane.. kay! Next stop – goblin village… it’s not that far away… I was running for a minute…

Let’s appraise some stuff on the way

[Aurora herb

Common herb in Dreadful Forest, used as ingredient to healing potion. Can be consumed raw]

… a useful info? Did I just get some useful info?

Ah, my appraisal leveled up.. I put it in my mouth and began to chew. Kay… it’s not mint, but will do… actually there will be no worse smell then that from my mouth after almost 2 weeks without toothpaste... oh I miss shower too…

It really wasn’t long till I get back to the village. Shaman was waiting at the entrance with few helpers. Why is he not surprised by my new outfit? Why is he staring at my face? Don’t say… HE HAS A CRUSH ON M?! no, can’t be happening… he had a granddaughter… fuck what am I thinking about! I am straight too!

- Are you sure hiumanh, that yiu don’t hav a dragon soul? – what now? I am a dovahkiim or what?

- Last time I checked it was a human soul – I said holding my laughter.

- First, you had spiritz of anger inzide you… know spitiz of knowledge… what are yiu?

- You have no idea how many times I was asked this question lately – I said remembering all those Gods and Deities who kept asking “Do you know who you are”, or “Do you remember who you are”? – but I told you already I was waiting for something. I am leaving. Now. I have something to do… you know, world won’t dominate itself – I said while chuckling… and he was there death serious… don’t tell me he didn’t think about it as a good joke… or as a joke completely…

I went to the hut and grabbed by bag with few skins inside… As I wanted to take my leave, I was stopped… and given few additional skins of way better quality then those I get by myself, and some food and goatskin with water… what a nice fellow… you know? After they try to kill you, and you break some ices, they are pretty nice!

I bowed to the well to drink some water. And one more surprise for me. My hair turned white. Completely. Not grey. White. Now I am dude, with two different eyes colors, hand covered in goblin’s tattoo, with completely white hair. And I am a witchy wild mage.

Can I mark out more? Oh please! Don’t be shy now! Give me horns now! And scales! And tail and wings, and make me some god damned demon! Oh and put a hunt mark on my head!

- Okay I will take my leave… it was good to know you… even as you wanted me dead…

- It iz a very rare for hiumanh to step into this forezt, even more for one to step out. Led the spiritz guide yiu…

See? A nice fellow. Okay… dude… I’ ll have to name you… can ya please fly into the sky and look for some kind of more… civilized… place… please?! If you could find an inn… where they are serving a pork with potatoes! And I would drink a beer too! Can I drink beer? I am 16 now… gotta see what’s the legal age here..

My still name-less raven…. Oh gosh how nice it sounds.. “ My raven”, aw don’t get distracted, flew into the air. He flew higher then trees and make some circles in the air. Then he descended back on my shoulder.

Ding [Your familiar [Raven] want to share with you his memory, do you agree?]

What. Da… no.. I am heading into civilization. I have to restrict my tongue. Yes, please show it to me

Oh fuck, my head! No, it was not painful, but extremely weird! Birds see world completely different than humans… (ya can see it on youtube… I don’t wanna to describe it.. to poor vocabulary – sorry)

BUT! On the horizon I saw some smoke! Wee! Here I come my pork!

Let’s head there!

Any idea for raven’s name? NO I LL NOT PICK A “NEVERMORE”!!! Ya ve got any ideas what ya want in the future? Some new heroes, skills, countries… I ll probably ignore 99% of it as my story within my head has some sense… but if some ideas I will find attractive I will gladly fit them…somewhere…somehow… I hope…

Tell me what ya think ‘bout chapter… anything to improve? Oh there surly is smth to improve… but guyz pls… TALK TO ME! I asked you in last chapter to praise me! I was not praised! Do you want deadpools spoilers?! PRAISE ME ! NOW!

Oh and tomorrow there will be no chapter. I am going to get drunk.
