《New World: The path of an avenger》Chapter 2: Battle Mage
Advertisement
The next 3-4 hours weren't so bad, although some mistakes happened, I didn't really come close to die, and it proceeded smooth, I have raised 6 levels and distributed my points, thinking better about the status bar, there was a place to 'job' but I didn't see they selling it on the system's shop, maybe it's something I have to acquire killing monsters or doing something specific, like titles?
I was able to get things different from levels too. I got a better sword from a different type o goblin that came 'Goblin Warrior level - 5' the sword had better damage, and some status boosts, yes, as obvious as that is, identification works pretty good on objects too, but I think the information is somewhat lacking, would be much better if I level up this skill a little bit more, but it raises so slow.
My Fireball raised to Beginner level 2, and I got a new skill called 'Sword Mastery' that gives me 2.5% boost on my damage with sword on its current level, combined with the 10% boost on basic status while in combat, I think I am slowly getting pretty strong. I got a shabby leather jacket from a goblin as well, It gave me the 'defense' status, I think if I can spend points on it, but didn't try yet, I'll do it later, the description said that it reduces physical and magic damage, probably for magic debuffs, it won't work, and I discovered that 'basic status' within the game system means status without include the equipment bonus, too bad, If not for that, the 'Battle Maniac' would be really fearsome.

Quite good, the sword mastery skill is pretty good too, since I got it, I felt that I got a little bit better at handling the sword, just a little though.

Long time since I saw the last goblin, maybe I killed too many and the respawn point came to an end, well, I think it was already time to leave and look for a safe place with not so dangerous looking monster to kill. There is probably others survives, but I prefer to stay alone, not very good with people anyway.
As I started to leave the room, I saw the light that indicated the spawn of a monster, and decided to rush back to the location to see an ultra-muscular goblin type, and he was even almost my size! Quite scaring, he was looking at me with a somewhat enraged look, he's probably the strongest goblin-monster around here, no using to speculate anyway.
Goblin Punisher - Level 10
150/150
'Just a couple of levels stronger than me, nothing much, my boosted status will have to do the trick'. I gripped hard on my sword as I started to get ready for combat, I had just enough mana for more 2 fireballs, I started to repent for not putting any points on wisdom, well, better not cry over the spilled up milk, just concentrate what is right in front of me right, with a giant maul that does not fit its size.
My best advantage against the last goblins was the fact that I had a range much bigger than them, against this goblin, he has the range's advantages, I'm on the bad side right now. I started getting distance from the goblin, trying to lure it to a larger area, to reduce his range advantage, but he just stopped right in front of the latrine's door, seems to be defending something, but I've got no time to lose, if another goblin spawn, I'm doomed.

I decided to attacking him with a fireball, and it was pretty effective, this guys movements are very slow, I can imagine his strength, if I am hit by that thing, I'll die for sure. I could see the fury within his eyes, he started to madly run after me, despises its slow movements, I just discovered that this thing is pretty fast on a direct line, in a pretty bad way, that I didn't really like tough.
At least I was able to do what I had in my, I made him move out of the corridor, and we came into the most spacious part of the bathroom, with about 7x5 m in size, well, it was the better I could get, I don't dare to leave the bathroom and end up bopping into another monster, I'd get sandwich between 2 killers.
It swung its maul horizontal, trying to hit my arm, although I think that, if it really came to hit me, It'd explode my torso! With fear in mind, I rapid rolled to the side, dodging his swing. The difference in agility is really evident here, and is saving my ass!
While I dodge I got close to its feet and tried to cut of his right foot, but his muscles were to dense, and I was in bad balance, so I was only able to give him an small injury, but I'm pretty sure that his movements now will be even more limited, and the difference in agility will shine even more than before.
He tried a vertical slash this time, this one is even easier to dodge. I was able to move to the side and stay in attacking position against him without losing my balance, this way I was able to give a perfect fire ball right into his face, making him lose his balance, and piercing its neck my long sword. The goblin' HP went straight to 10%, It tried to scream, but couldn't find any sound coming out from his mouth.
It was pretty much dead, even if I didn't attack him anymore, it would still die because of blood loss, but I decided to put it out of its misery, giving the final slash through his right eye, end his HP. Before I could see the drops I heard a nice sound.
'Ding.'
Level up
Level up
For dealing the last blow on this spawn point last Elite's
boss, with no monster alive from here, you destroyed the
spawn point, and won a bonus exp and status points
'Hmm. Always a good sound to hear.' I proceed with picking the loots, the small boss like monster dropped a pair of shoes that I decided to equip, since it gave me a boost in agility, and a maul, that I decided to sell on the shop for 32 golds, the goblin's weapons before only sold for 2-4 gold, so this one was pretty much a jackpot, since that kind of weapon wasn't suited for me in first place anyway, and would only slow me down.
As I started think the next action I should take, I started to remember the last attack against the boss, I don't why, but I'm getting used to it too fast, is that normal? or is it because I was never fit to the society before, and this level-up system is giving me a chance to live how I should have lived long before?
'Well, pretty much no good, I'll die young in this world, for sure.' The last combo with Fireball and sword attack was pretty good, if I could do some more combos with magic and melee attacks, maybe I'd really be able to create a class that do physical and magic damage, this way I'll be able to fight better against other monsters and... humans... if it's needed. The versatility and surprise element is too good in a battle without information on your opponent.

As I was getting more and more into it, thinking about how to combine my sword skills with my fireball, I heard the sound that maybe was that gave most joy in my life
'Ding.'
Job Change Acquired - Battle Mage
The ability to mix magic and sword is one of the arts that not many
dare to do, since the person will neither have a heavy physical damage,
nor a strong magic attack, just a small part of both. Beginning the first
person to actually try something so audacious and with no return, even
investing precious points in this road, the system awards you with
the chance to get an Unique job - Battle Mage - the ability to fight close
combat utilizing both physical damage and magic damage, but with heavy
prices to pay.
Do you wish for a job change?
'Oh my god, just what I needed. So this is the way to get a job.' I discovered that the system's ways to get a job is to complete certain conditions, and level up the right status, it seems that leveling up both STR and INT did the trick, I can't help but thing, what is an 'Unique' job and what are the prices for me to use it?
There are further explanations about system's job and your job
- Battle Mage -
Would you like to see it?
"Yes! Show it to me." - I accidentally let slip and said what was supposed to be a thought pretty much out load, anyway, with this, more screens started to appear in my vision.
Different from skills, that can evolve and grow up
from the user's mastery, job can change, but can
not evolve to a brand-new and stronger job from the
first. So jobs are classified according to its potential,
From weaker to stronger:
Common - Uncommon - Rare - Legendary - Mythical
This classification is the same for items too, since they can't evolve on
their own.
Also, there is a separated kind of job known as
"Unique" these jobs come from the trial and error from
their creators, they can be even weaker than common
jobs, or even stronger than mythical jobs, depends
on the creator being able to understand and evolve
together with him.
'Weaker than common job, serious? How crappy could that be, sigh.' As you can see, I am not a very optimist person in nature, but I can't just let this chance slip, this job is exactly what I wanted, let's first see the demerits and merits from acquiring it. 'Show me the demerits and merits from the job Battle Mage please.'
Battle MageDemeritsMerits* Loses the ability gain status and skills related any type of weapon
that is not within the style first chosen by the user.
* Loses the ability to uses any kind of magic skill that is not related
arcane arts and an elemental art chosen by the user.
* All status points, basic and from items, on the 'Defense' status
are halved.
* Cannot change to jobs not related with the Battle Mage's evolution.
* Cannot gain status or skills related to heavy armours
* Cannot gain status or skills related to leather armours* Gains 100% affinity with the elemental of choice and arcane arts,
letting the user manipulate at will both if it's not created from
someone's else mana, and gaining exp faster from them
* Gains the 'Magic Resistance' status
* Gains 65% resistance against mental-related attacks
* Loses the Status Strength and Intelligence to win a new status
that is the combination of both, all the numerical values of them will
be added into the new status, and it'll work as a fusion.
I couldn't help but open my mouth big enough for a truck to get in, what kind of shit demerits are those?! Simply insane! I'll practically be a walking paper in front of the enemies, a hit by a strong boss and I'll be gone forever from this world. Well, but the merits are really good as well, and the best part was the last, I'll get a fusion status! This is the same as getting double Status points, since allocating one for STR or INT is the same as allocating on both! Half efforts, double results! Right on the mark.
In the end I decided getting this job, simply too good letting the chance slide, and I sold my armours, since they were made from leather, I wasn't getting any bonus status from them anyway, when I selected the job they asked me to select a weapon and an elemental art, of course my choice was sword and fire, since I'm already accustomed with them, hope that wasn't a bad decision. 'Sigh.', Thankful I got 12 status points from leveling up, and more 8 from the spawn point destruction.
I got some new spells too, one of them is so good that almost made me forgot the job's defense demerits. Arcane Barrier, it's capable of creating a barrier around me that will take damage to my mana instead of reducing my HP, quite the normal skills I'd say, the thing is, thanks to my 100% affinity with arcane arts, I'm capable of transforming it in a "Arcane Armour" by simply controlling its shape to come pretty close to my skin, this way it won't affect my battle potential, and I'll be able fight with this thing protecting me, the only downside it''s that it'll take a heavy toll on my mana.
Arcane Barrier
The caster is capable of creating a barrier in an area up to
2 m away from him and with a max of 2,7 m², the shield will
take damage in a ratio to 3:1 in your Mana.
While the barrier is up the caster will have -50% Mana Reg.
Proficiency
Beginner - Level 1
Exp: 0.00%
It came with another skill that have about the same use of Fireball, but I can simultaneous cast up to 2 of them, but it takes more mana to use than fireball, and the damage seems to be slightly inferior.
Arcane Bolt - 8 mana
The caster use his mana to create up to 2 simultaneous bolt
of arcane energy that has piercing effect that ignores defense
but little area damage.
+15% Piercing effect
Proficiency
Beginner - Level 1
Exp: 0.00%
Well, too bad I didn't get anymore fire related spells, I can buy some in the shop, but they are just basic skills, and too expensive at that, I think I'll have to get them myself, or change with other humans, for now, let's buy some food and water in the shop. I'm dead hungry!

The Grey Realm, an Erebus Story.
Written by: Staugroan and The Inklets. Edited by: Claudia Adams. In the beginning there was a god, who watched over and made one world his own. Soon after the god grew restless, but happened to stumble on a small world filled with life. This world was named Erebus by its peoples; humanity. The god was so fascinated with this new world that he started to copy it back home, creating oceans, forests, deserts, and so forth. Then the god created life and eventually his favored creations who would be immortals and be the better of mankind in every way-the elves. So often the god had traveled to Erebus that the two worlds became linked by magic and their inhabitants could cross at will. Relations between the races flourished, and a great empire was born in the Grey Realm, home of the elves. But the god once again grew restless, and set loose great beasts that stood at the top of any food chain, the apex. At first the elves met the challenge and fought them head on. But mankind was not so lucky, they died in droves to push back even a single apex. Something had to be done. Elves and man worked together to begin sealing off the worlds to protect mankind, to limit the ways in and out to better fight the apex off and keep their fellows safe. The ritual had adverse effects the likes of which neither the elves nor man could predict; the sealing of the worlds started slow, but the magic had never been done before, and in their ignorance it spread to completely cut the two worlds off from one another. It ejected the apex, and other magical being back into the Grey Realm, saving Erebus. At first the elves were content, they would find a way back once the apex were dead and gone. But the seal had done more than keep Erebus locked away. The powersource of the seal was magic itself, from both worlds, and it consumed it all greedily. The elves, weakened without their magic, crumbled into ruin, and the apex were free to hunt the other races of the Grey Realm. Two-thousand years later a strange phenomena is occurring and magic is slowly returning to the Grey Realm, and tears open that allow passage to Erebus. Thu'lain and a few elves must make the journey to fallen kingdom of the elves Anosora, in the hopes of reclaiming what was once theirs. They must face their nemesis the apex, and survive not only the species that have turned against them, but a terrible being left behind by the god to kill even the apex. Uch'l'thein, the faceless terror.
