I've decided what to do about Ren's class (With everyone's help). Both Dragon Artificer and Apprentice of the Crafting God are popular and honestly I really like both classes so I decided to go with an idea suggested by Kilaske990. Ren will first become a Dragon Artificer and after some time developing his skills he'll become an Apprentice of the Crafting God. As for all of the other classes in the poll, most will be just be dumped. I might take one or two and turn them into a technique but most of them will just be dropped. For the ones suggested by all of you guys, I’ll be using a few of them as techniques, some of your ideas are too good to just drop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun rose and the entire camp was packed up. Ren was currently standing in a crowd with his friends looking at the man standing on a wagon in front of them. This man was the commander of the subjugation force and the person Ren had meet the day before. Everyone was waiting from him to speak. After some time everyone was gather and the man cleared his throat. He nodded to a man that Ren couldn't see and started speaking.

"First I would like to thank all of you for volunteering to be part of this subjugation force. Many of you know who I am but for those who don't I will introduce myself. My name is Xavier Wolfe, First captain and leader of the Crale city guard." Captain Wolfe paused for a moment, "The news that I have to share with all of you this morning is troubling. I'm sure most of you have heard rumors that the goblins we will be fighting might be getting a new king. I'm sorry to say that these rumors are true. “Murmuring broke out among the crowd. The captain raised his hand and everyone quieted down. "I know what many of you must be thinking and I, myself, share some of these thoughts but we must remember that, regardless of the foe we face, we are the one that stand in front of our families, our friends, and countless other innocent lives. Protecting them from the monster that would harm them. Holding torches that drive away the darkness that would consume them. We will not be alone in this fight. Word is being sent to the surrounding nation to warn them of our situation. Our job it to hold back the goblin menace until reinforcements arrive. The first troops should be here in a week. We just need to hold out for seven days. Yes that is a longtime during battle but remember what you are fighting for. We will not let a single goblin through because we cannot afford to. The city officials are their best to protect everyone and we must do our part as well. So are we going run away from some wanna-be king and his ragtag army?"

"""NO""" the crowd shouts

"Are we going to let some dirty monster run over us and destroy our city?"

"""NO"""

"So what we going to do?"

"""FIGHT""" the crowd yells

"Good let’s get moving. We have a full day of marching before we reach the area where we will make camp. Dismissed." Captain Wolfe said.

The crowd dispersed and formed up into their units. Ren was assigned the dedicated repairman of the 38th unit of the first brigade because of his smithing skills and that fact that he had some experience with a sword. Ren was no longer wearing his school uniform but instead put on his old outfit he had made back in Jona village. Ren also carried his new steel sword on his belt.

The subjugation force arrived at the area that was going hold their main camp a little before sunset and began to set up. Half of the force was setting up tents and equipment while the other half got started on creating the trenches and embankments that would surround the camp with the help of the force’s earth mages. Defense construction was overseen by some of the city’s engineers.

Night fell and Ren was sitting around a fire getting to know the people in his unit. There were no other players besides Ren but that wasn't an issue for him. As everyone was talking Ren collected everyone's weapons and started sharpening them with a small whetstone. The others were quite pleased with Ren's actions. Were before they're attitudes towards Ren were pretty neutral, as the night went on they slowly began to warm up to him. As the others headed off to get some rest, Ren sat by the slowly dying fire, gazing at the stars and finishing up the sword of his unit.

The sun rose and the units that made up the vanguard were already heading into the tunnels occupied by the goblins. Ren marched behind the rest of his unit. While his primary job was to keep his unit's equipment in good shape, Ren was also required to participate in combat, though to a limited degree. His job when fighting was to make sure that any goblins that got past the front lines wouldn't get past him.

They entered the tunnels, which were big enough to allow five solders to walk side-by-side with enough room the swing their swords, and began marching down into the earth. It got darker as they got deeper. At some point a call came from the front.

"Lights!"

Small glowing balls of light appeared above the heads of the solders and cast a dim red glow that gave everything an eerie look. They continued to march through the winding tunnels for what felt like hours. Ren could hear the occasional sounds of combat but they didn't last very long. At some point the tunnel started to widen until 30 solders could walk side-by-side. When the tunnel reached its widest point the vanguard found themselves on one side of a massive stone bridge spanning a seemingly bottomless chasm. If Ren had to guess he would say that the bridge looked to be around 150-160 feet wide and probably around 400 feet long and had a slight arch to it. On the other side of the bridge, the goblin forces had arranged themselves in a rough skirmish line facing the oncoming solders. The subjugation force vanguard advanced onto the bridge and readied themselves for combat. A runner with escort was dispatched from the rear to update the main force.

Silence reigned on the bridge as both parties eyed each other. They stood in silence for several minutes before both forces charged forward at the same time, roaring out their challenge to the other. The front runners clashed with the sound of flesh hitting metal as the goblins charged into the armored warriors of the front line. The momentum of both sides was halted and blood began to flow down onto the bridge, Red for force, a greenish colored liquid for the goblins. The air was filled with the yells of the warriors attacking, metal hitting metal, screams of pain, and the desperate wail of goblins that were knocked over the edge and into the void of the chasm. The fighting went on and on, the goblins fiercely attack the subjugation force, giving no quarter, while the solders in the front line would occasionally draw back and allow another solder to take their place, the line never wavering. Ren was in the back, keeping an eye on the battle while doing some quick maintenance to the armor and weapons of the solders getting patched up before being sent back to fight. This lasted for hours, the sear numbers of the goblins preventing any progress forward. At some point reinforcement arrived, allowing the tiered solders of the vanguard to rest briefly. A small mountain of goblin corpses was piled up in the center of the bridge, acting like a wall. The battle had long since reached a stalemate.

After a few more hours something started to change within the goblin forces. It wasn't something that could be seen but sensed. They started pushing harder, attacking for fiercely, and started using the sheer weight of number to start pushing the subjugation force back step by step. First the front line wavered, then it broke and the two forces mixed. It became chaotic. The healers retreated further up the tunnels with their guard. Slowly the goblins began making their way past the main force and into the rear. Ren grabbed his sword and ran to the first goblin he saw, examining it.

Status Window Name Goblin Warrior Level 10 HP 350 Defence 6 A normal goblin. Weak by itself but vicious in large numbers

Ren smiled to himself seeing the stats of the goblin.

At least its weak thought Ren as long as I don't get swarmed I should be ok.

Ren fought goblin after goblin, dodging most of their strikes and killing them in a few blows, but more just kept coming. Ren moved around the battle field to avoid getting boxed in. He eventually found himself near the edge of the bridge, several goblins advancing towards him.

Ren cursed.

He only had about half of his health left and his stamina was low. As the goblins moved in for the kill Ren held out his sword, pointing it at the middle of the goblins, and called out,

"Static Blitz!"

Ren had practiced casting the spell without system assist to the point where he was faster than the system, though he was nowhere close to turning it into a continuous spell. Lighting ran along the surface of the sword and flew out the tip, slamming into the center goblin. The goblin flew back with a shriek of pain. Something the Ren didn't expect also happened. The lighting that slammed into the center goblin arced from its body and hit the two on either side, though it caused less damage. Seeing the Ren was elated and charged back into the fight, sword in one hand and magic flying from the other. The amount of goblins near Ren started to lessen but after a few minutes the goblins shrieked and a large number charged Ren, driving him back to the edge of the cliff. Ren fought savagely, casting [Static Blitz] in large crowns of them and even throwing some over the edge. Some surrounding solders tried to help but they were also under attack and couldn't do much. Ren stumbled on a goblin corpse, losing his balance. Using this opportunity the goblins charge Ren and...Pushed him right over the edge.

Ren fell silently. He was to stunned to make an sound as he rushed downward thought he black, the sound of battle quickly growing fainter before vanishing all together. Ren realized after a few seconds that he was still falling. Confused, Ren twisted his body round to face the direction he was falling. Ren closed his eyes and took a deep breath and then...
