- Please become the guard of my home

...

...

Eh

Wat

- No thanks, I don't want to be bound to one place, I want to adventure, I want to explore the world, I love freedom...

- That's not it!

She cut in my speech and yelled, that's rude, but I'll let it go

- You will not be bound to this place, just spiritually connected, if there's incoming danger you will know and if something like this happens, please save my home

Still so blurry, I don't get it, building a fortress before the enemy is even born, that's great, but, what do I gain from this?

- Look, I'm weak, I can't even protect myself, how do I protect your home then?

She shook her head

- Greenie, you are so, so dumb, let this lady explain, ahem...

She coughed awkwardly and started chirping in her voice that would be befitting for a singer

- I am offering you a sub class of forest sentinel, you will not be bound to this place, but you will be requested to help if it's in danger, instead you will gain a big benefit, you will like it, unlike other inhabitants of this forest you will have a certain advantages

- What advantages?

- You will know

Ah, come on, I don't like secrets

But...

If it's to graduate from a waste of a reincarnated person who can't cast a single spell, then it's all worth it, I don't understand how I will gain a huge mana capacity as she promised but I will comply, I mean I don't have a choice

- So what happens if I don't help when forest is in danger?

I want to know whether I suffer some kind of backlash or something if I don't do it, her answer was... eye full of crocodile tears, I can't bear to look at such expression, makes me feel I did something wrong... hmm, so there's no backlash, alright, I shall accept it

- Alright, I get it, I will help if I have the power, but I won't sacrifice myself for nothing, got it?

- R, really?

She stopped sobbing and looked at me pitifully, now that's cute, unlike certain someone who is a total pervert and super ugly at that

Who am I kidding? It's like pig insulting a pig for being fat

- Yeah, leave it to me

I pat my chest

- You promise?

She showed her pinky, I sighed and wrapped my huge green smelly, ugly.... fuck

She seemed happy and starting circling around me while cheering, just like a kid

- Thank you greenie, you won't regret this

A blue paper started materializing in front of her, there were some weird characters inscribed on it, that looked like an ancient language, there was blue particles hovering around it

Before I could ask what that thing was...

Spirit covenant

Dungeon pixie and guardian of the forest Anemone is requesting you to establish connection with the forest and become forest sentinel, guarding its safety in times of danger, you will be spiritually connected to this forest and can telepathically communicate with Anemone and other forest sentinels

Do you accept?

Yes/No

Wow, so dramatic, I accept

For the glory of magic!

You have accepted the contract, you have gained an access to the sub class Sub class: Forest sentinel (I) Rank: C You gain 30% increased battle power while in forest for each increased level in forest sentinel sub class Bonus effects: 10% nature affinity 5% earth affinity

Do you accept?

Yes /No

So that's it? Increased battle power? Then don't I have a huge advantage over others? I don't even see disadvantages in this, though I will lose the bonus in other terrain for example desert, that's not a problem, for now

- Thanks Anemone, can you tell me how to promote in levels?

She did not answer, I took my sight off blue panel and looked at her, she was blushing?

- You re, remembered my name?

... I don't have a that bad memory, at least I don't think so

- R, right, you can just wish it and quests will appear, regarding this forest, the difficulty is random, you can change one to another if you don't like previous quest, after completing some quests your level in sub class will also raise, but first accept it...

Oh right, I forgot to accept

You have become forest sentinel, you gained 30% increased battle power while in forest

Oh, I feel it, the power, the feeling is faint, but it's there, I've become stronger

- So with that I can fight against monsters who have surmountable battle power?

I am really confused about that, please enlighten me

- No, silly, let's say, for example a monster that has battle power that surmounts 1 level has 200% battle power, that means he can hit normal monsters of the same level twice as hard, you just received 30% increased battle power, you still can't fight these formidable ones that have inborn strength

Oh, I see, so I have 130% battle power, but it's not really a big thing, if I want to dominate everyone on the same level I will have to keep promoting in this sub class of forest sentinel to gain 160%, 190% 220% etc battle power

So I need to work hard, alright, I will, it's not like I have many things to do anyway

- Say, I gained an affinity right? Now can I finally learn magic?

That's the most important part

- No silly, you still don't have mana

... Oh...

- I have not gotten to that part yet, I will offer you another unique sub class that will allow you to borrow a huge amount of mana, it won't be yours but it will work perfectly fine, just if you lose the source you will be out of mana

I don't get it, but okay

- First, let's meet other sentinels, follow me, they are also good, you will certainly like them

- Wait, you did not tell me there were more?

I am not really in a mood to meet other sentinels

- No, you have to! Don't be shy, they don't bite

You say that, but I am sure their levels also have question marks

I smiled wryly and followed her

- Wait, Henna is vulnerable right? I should go back

I found an excuse to go but the wind enveloped me, disallowing me to step back

- She's fine, I gave her my blessing

Oh, then why do I not get your blessing?

Sigh

Alright, let's follow her

We entered deep into the forest, this place was full of green grass, butterflies and... oh, WHO'S THAT?

- Lomio, look who I've brought, a new sentinel, treat him well

Anemone screamed and laughed, I followed her like a kid that has done something bad

...

I looked at the man, he was domineering, he looked at me with his green eyes and I was frozen, he should be beyond question marks

Little did I know, that he was not the only sentinel, I had to meet another one
