《Afterlife - Next World's Auction House》A gathering of important people
Advertisement
[Big sister? You two are awake already?](Alexandra)
"Good morning sleepyhead! Were you able to rest properly?"
I had a vague feeling of deja-vu, but I didn't want to admit that there was yet another night in which I didn't make a move on the two girls sleeping with me. I should probably make that happen before the festival, otherwise it will certainly make things awkward on the first try.
"Plus that I didn't exactly had practice in a while, nor do I know if I can still do the deed... It would be quite ironic to become a God, but as a result to suddenly become impotent. I should do a 'test run', however I haven't got a clue where would I find the privacy required for it to happen..."
I found it amusing, the sort of problems I was suddenly facing. Rather, the type of problems I thought I might have. Mia confirmed it after all, the fact that our bodies have been enforced by divinity to become more efficient and better altogether quality wise. That would probably mean, in proportion of 90%, that I should be a star in the sheets.
"Maybe there would be even an improvement."
[Master... you are grinning again... It looks lascivious...](Mia)
"...(⊙o⊙)..."
Ignoring the rather scornful look Mia was giving me, I began contemplating how to bring into existence the showers for the current elven huts. If not (and mostly because is impractical due to the current level my civilization has) the best next option would be bathhouses. Two huge public bathhouses joined in the middle by a common area, which can serve as a pool.
"It would be great if I could find a natural spring and create a thermal bath-house..."
[Master, you are doing that thing where you think out loud again...](Mia)
[Michael, what is a thermal bathhouse?](Alexa)
"Is like a ... uhm... building with warm water where you can wash and soak in. You can use it to relax and wash away both the impurities on your skin, as well as the fatigue amassed during the day."
[Oooooh! It sounds amazing!](Alexa)
[It is... however, does master plan to have it created as one building only? Will there be a separation between men and women?](Mia)
"I was thinking of creating two big buildings with indoor showers and both will be connected by an open bath as middle ground. Also, if we can somehow infuse the water in which we soak with mana, it will help hugely in strengthening our bodies as well."
[...I guess it is a good idea. However, we need to create a couple of things in order to achieve that. Textile processing must be achieved in order to create proper clothing which won't be just towels or lingerie easy on the body, but also something like a bathrobe ... ](Mia)
"Yukata! We'll need yukatas!!!"
[...big sister, what is that?](Alexa)
[Something that you can wear as clothing. Is quite pleasant, but it will take a while before we are able to create such a thing...](Mia)
[Oh...](Alexa)
I left the room and headed outside to get water, only to be greeted by the sweet morning air. It was quite early, probably 7am or something similar and it server as a reinforcement for the desire to create a sundial as soon as I can.

It did not took long and under Andrea's leadership, this morning's breakfast was prepared. Like I already the last couple of days, with Mia and Alexandra by my side, I announced the changes that will occur due to the advancement to the Tool Age.
"First off, I want to take the time to thank all of you for the hard work you put in the tasks you were assigned. I am proud of you all!"
Cheers erupted on the tables and it was an obvious feeling of pride on everyone's faces. I honestly spoke the truth, because there were no frictions between units nor did any fights or arguments surfaced. Probably that is the reason for the both the morale and the security levels being as high as they were.
"As all of you saw through the World Announcement notification, we managed to advance our camp to the Tool Age. That means that now we have access to even more buildings, more advanced technologies and in the near future... better commodities, such as clothes for example."
Seeing an even stronger reaction to my declaration, it was made clear just how accurate the Unhappiness tab in the People’s Sentiment was. I should keep an eye on it at all times from this point onward.
"Now then, in order to achieve yet another advancement, more is required of us to do! Therefore we will be re-assigning the units and the people in it!"
There was no commotion this time, however everyone was keeping quiet and waiting with a glimmer in their eyes to hear what unit they will get assigned to. Before I could speak though, Mia and Alexandra whispered in my ear something regarding checking first if there are any more people that received a Job change due to repeated actions in a specific field.
Agreeing that it is a sensible thing to ask in order to avoid a Tailor having to mine copper, I boldly followed their suggestion.
"Like you already know, we have Denise and Andrea which have received our Chaos God's blessing and are now in the possession of specific Jobs, basically doing what they like. My first question for you people is, are there any others that managed to receive similar blessings? Please raise your hands if it's the case."
To my utmost surprise and delight, there were at least seven hands in the air. Nah, make that eight! Eight elves received new Jobs! In addition, among them were familiar faces!
"Laurence, you seem to have received a new Job?"
[Yes sir!](Laurence)
"Good! All of you on your feet and present the unit you are part of currently and the name of your Job. Laurence, you can start."
I remembered Laurence because of the daily interactions with him during the dungeon diving unit exercises and the fact that he was the squad leader in the small competition I set up when the bears were hunted. I remember being thoroughly impressed by his leadership skills at that point and how easy he came up with a plan based on his observation skills.
[My name is Laurence Greenwood and I am part of the dungeon diving unit! With our Chaos God's blessing, I received a new Job of 'Commander'!](Laurence)

As I originally thought, his innate abilities became skills and he has the same type of information gathering skill as I have. It made me wonder what differences are between the maxed out level I have for it and his level 1. As for his ‘Commander’ Job, is very likely that upon reaching Tier 2 it will be upgraded to ‘General’. His addition to the Great People tab didn't happened yet, meaning that reaching that Tier 2 is mandatory for each basic Job to be recognized as a major talent.
"Excellent Laurence! I look forward to some dungeon diving with you!"
[Thank you sir! I will do my best to meet your expectations!](Laurence)
"The next person please!"

This time I took the lead and furiously clapped congratulatory. This was absolutely amazing! A Farmer! I actually have a specialist that can handle our crops now! I should prioritize using the Soul Upgrade miracle on this raw diamond as soon as I have the funds available. I should check for that later…
"Honest congratulations Stephanie! Your new Job is a true blessing for our camp; especially given the current potatoes planting operation, which we have planned. With your help, our camp will not need to worry about food in the future, nor our future children!"
Another wave of congratulations followed and the shy elf girl reddened like a ripe tomato. She should get used to this kind of treatment given that she will have future responsibilities I will throw shamelessly on her...
"Excellent, excellent! So far, we already have two people that will be of immense help in the future, besides Andrea and Denise which practically are the hearts of the camp. The next person please!"

The same process ensued and I was awed by this girl's status page. She was the perfect fit for a 'tank' position in the dungeon with those stupidly high attribute points in Endurance and the ridiculously high HP. Also instead of the usual Concentration, both she and Laurence have a new attribute... Leadership for one and Constitution for the other. Those two attributes are Job related from I can tell, meaning that each Job might be unique in its own way...
"Honest congratulations Claudia! With you around, I have little to worry about our people being attacked by wild animals or monsters when gathering resources. My heart is truly at ease now! The next person please!"
[Hey! My name is Anne Greenwood and I am part of the production unit. Regarding my Job, I received the blessing of the Chaos God and it changed to 'Tailor'.](Anne)
"Eh!?"
Unlike before, this Job utterly stupefied me and a dumb sound escaped my mouth. Everyone turned their eyes with a noticeable sound, almost asking 'what's wrong?'. Realizing that the atmosphere became awkward, Mia jumped to my rescue.
[Michael is probably surprised and impressed by the Job Anne received. It probably can be placed a step above the previously mentioned ones due to our immediate need for clothes. A Tailor will be a truly magnificent addition to our camp! I look forward to the new beautiful clothes you will create for us Anne!](Mia)
[I will do my utmost to meet your expectations big sister! No! I will strive to go beyond them!](Anne)
[I am pleased and reassured to hear that!](Mia)

After checking the Status Page and recovering from the initial shock, I smiled and congratulated her as well. It appears that her special attribute was the same Concentration that Stephanie, Denise and Andrea had. That probably signified that lifestyle Jobs receive an advantage in regards to focusing a bit better on their work.
"This is indeed a gathering of stupidly talented elves! Since they can't be called Great People yet, I guess Impotant People should do it... However, now that is obvious that I can't leave these unpolished diamonds remain in the dirt, what I'm I supposed to do with them?"

Their is also wealth and power from Fate Online for those willing to take it and fight for it. For the people fighting from the bottom up, they are willing to do almost anything. Even kill or betray.

All credit of the PIC/Art goes to the original creatorNote* Rewrites are coming starting 08-March-2021Note* Chapters will be released on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.Note* This story will contain profanity, violence, cursing, sexual content, offensive language, jokes about fantasy ethnic groups (People that aren't real in other words), etc...
