《Survival of a healer》Chapter 11 Job
Advertisement
"So how did it go ?" asked scary guy .
After Adam told Kevin about the various jobs he ended up asking scary guy which is working right next to the roundtable .
"The group forming ? It went pretty okay .... !" replied Kevin .
Since nobody else stood on scary guys line he could casually chat with him .
"Why are you so depressed ?" asked Scary guy .
"Well , i am a newbie and now i should take a job . With no idear what i should take ." lamented Kevin .
"What is your first skill ?" asked scary guy while adding : "Most people tend to choose their jobs by their first skills . After all if they end up alone and they have a job which is pretty much useless to their skill set you can imagine what for a problem they have right ?"
Kevin didn't say much , since he could look the sadness in scary guy eyes . Did anything happen ?
He tried to redirect the focus so he asked : "My first skill is [Heal] so what would you suggest ?"
Raising his eyebrows scary guy asked : "Are you really a supporter ?"
"Why is everyone so suprised about my first skill ? I only know it is a rare thing , but why do people always ask me as if i am despising them ?" asked Kevin with an annoyed tone .
"And why can't i search guidence from my party members ?"
Since neither Adam or Mark wanted to help Kevin to find a job he has to ask the guild staff , since they were the newbie helper .
"Don't be so annoyed , there is a reason why they don't help you . It is an ritual that everyone needs to find their own alone without help from close persons . After all it is a choice for your life ." replied scary guy .
"But there are so many joby , even [Smith] has countless branches . Making enchantes on equipment , forging , working with precious magic stone and many more . How do you want me to choose a job so easily ? Not only that , i have to choose one fast or else i won't get to know the job advantages ." wailed Kevin .
Sighing scary guy said : "Since you are a supporter you have to pick a job where physical strength is not necessary . I think Alchemist would be a pretty decent choice .
Even if it's not popular since Alchemist almost have no attack or defense buff without preparations , for supporters to carry tons of heal potions or mana potions will make them more useful to the group . Another advantage is that a prepared Alchemist is more scarier than an entire army of swordsmen ."
"Wow , if an alchemist is so strong why isn't it popular ?" asked Kevin .
"Naturally because you have prepare yourself . Where do you get the materials for thousands of heal potions or flame potions ? Not only that , rune enscripter is almost the same except the fact that you engrave runes of mana on everything , paper , wooden sticks , even leaves can be inscripted with explosion rune or buff runes ." explained Scary guy .
After decent information Kevin decided to chose between Alchemist or Rune Inscriptor . Not because they sounded good , it was more like that the other jobs like cook , forager , builder , scholar etc. could be learned by everybody and was a overall advantage job .

Focus jobs will strengthen the stats in which the person is strong at , for Kevin it would be INT and WIS .
"Where do i even learn the jobs ?" asked Kevin .
"Just ask the guild , they will give free job scrolls to everyone . After all people can't learn more than one job ." answered scary guy .
Then he walked to the back of the counter and entered a room .
Pondering which job he should take Kevin listed the advantage and the disadvantages of Inscripter and Alchemist .
The result is obvious , even if inscriptor couldn't heal with their runes there existed shield runes . Not only that , attack runes like flame rune , explosion rules are pretty common .
Alchemist on the opposite have offensive too with explosion potion or flame potion , no shields though but with healing potions . However the major problem is the fact that potions need materials while runes does not .
Seems like inscripter will do .
Looking at the guild counter Kevin could see scary guy holding two scrolls .
"Left is Alchemist and right is Inscriptor , which do you choose ?" said scary guy .
Picking up the inscripter Kevin could see a message popping up :
[ Job scroll : Inscriptor ]
[ Write Runes on objects to have difference effects , amount of runes limited to the level ]
[ Ancient Runes are : Rune of (Fire , Earth , Water , Air) , Rune of Divine Protection , Rune of Destruction , ... ]
[Learn ? (YES) (NO) ]
'Wait , so these Ancient Runes are the strongest possible runes ?' thinking about the ultimate runes Kevin hesitated .
"Can i have the Alchemist scroll for a moment ?" asked Kevin .
Without a word scary guy passed the other scroll to Kevin . If one would look closer a faint smile is visible on scary guy lips .
[ Job scroll : Alchemist ]
[ Brew different Potions out of different Materials ]
[ Ancient Potions : Divine Potion , Holy Water , Water of Thousand Nights , Tear of Phoenix , Basilisk Poison , Divine God Bomb , Divine Ocean Flood , etc . ]
[Learn ? (YES) (NO) ]
Looking on the countless Ancient Potions Kevin couldn't but feel flabbergasted .
So many ! And they sound so amazing !
"Is there a reason why there are so few Ancient Runes and so many Ancient Potions ?" Kevin asked scary guy .
"Yeah , after all even if materials are spare you can combine thousands in different variations . On the other hand Ancient runes have to be engraved on the perfect material , for example Divine Ice rune on everlasting ice stone . You can't expect normal wood or a leave to be able to hold an Ancient rune . Besides after using the Ancient Rune the material will dissipate into dust . It is almost the same as if you were to use a potion ." explained scary guy .
Sighing over the restriction Kevin choosed Alchemist over Inscripter , at first he felt disappointed . Why can't it be so op like he imagined ? Not only won't the rune disappear , stronge runes have to be written on rare thing and the object will fall into dust or nothing if used .
Clicking Yes for Alchemist Kevin could feel warm surrounding him , then disappearing .
"So in the end you chose Alchemist ?" asked scary guy , with a faint smile .
Kevin didn't noticed the smile , after all he decided his job for the rest of his life ! Who wouldn't feel doubtful about his decision ?

Kevin answered with a straight Yes and walked back to the roundtable .
Turning his back to scary guy he didn't notices him smiling while thinking of something unknown .
Arriving on the roundtable Kevin grabbed a chair and sat down .
"You choosed your job ?" asked Mark .
"What is it ?" added Adam .
"It is Alchemist ." replied Kevin while opening his Status .

Looking at his status page Kevin ordered a glass of apple juice . After all he didn't drinked in his last world , so why should he start it in this world ?
While waiting for the apple juice akward silence filled the table . Adam and Mark didn't talked like always and looked at Kevin . The last just waited for his drink .
After one guild staff waiter brought the juice Kevin sipped a little bit , tasting the sweet apple flavor .
"So will we do from now on ?" asked Kevin .
Adam replied : "We will split ."
With a suprised tone Kevin asked : "So from now on we are not a party anymore ?"
Sighing Mark started to talk : "We will split , but the group . We will work individual for now and after a while we will start train our team work . At the time where we hunted didn't you felt pretty much useless ?"
Kevin just nodded , it is true that he is pretty much useless in fighting . However in his old world who would care about his bad fighting skills ? Or to say it in other words who would care about him even if he is bad ? As long as he doesn't break any rules nobody would care for him . Except his parents , but who wouldn't want their offspring to be great ?
So he just accepted the fact live and die peacefully . But now in a new world everyone have to train hard , TOGETHER .
It may be that Mark only wanted to ensure his surviving by not having a burden on his shoulders , however Kevin felt a new experience . The experience of relying on each other , the feeling of comrades in arms . The bullshit of "United we stand , divided we fall" .
There is a chance that Kevin read too many story where party member train hard to protect each other or to get stronger as a goal . Neverless a surge of emotion popped up in Kevins heart .
He only scratched on the surface of the feeling though .
"We couldn't find a house in the near surrounding . Most already got taken by other partys ." a voice sounded through the air as Kevin immersed himself in the feeling .
"There is a free house though , in the outskirt of the city . It is not completey outside but the wilderness is only one or two steps away from the backdoor ." answered a female voice .
The voices belong to Caro and Bogo who went to search for a house in the city .
"A house in the outskirt of the city ? Isn't that perfect ? We won't have to walk so far ! Hahahahah . !" Mark began to laugh .
"The house will be alright , after all i don't think demons will attack this city . Besides we area already used to guard at night so it doesn't matter ." added Adam .
Caro and Bogo sat down and ordered something to drink while Kevin asked Adam :
"I am weak right now , so what i should i do to get stronger ?"
"Just go to the sewer underground . You can ask the mice or rat mans to guide you . They need every hand they can get to fight agains these new mice and rats ." interrupted Bogo .
"A sewer dungeon ? Who build that ?" asked Kevin with a questiond look .
"It is not a real dungeon , after all the monsters don't drop equipment or special weapons . The sewer exists since the town beginning , after all where is the feces of the alliance going ? Besides a dungeon mind will be created with every dungeon , maybe it will rank up soon ." explained Mark .
"Yeah , and after the Dungeon ranked up we will see a boss monster on the last floor and the monster will start drop equipment ." explained a nearing voice .
It is Emilia . She walked along with An and En on her right and left side towards the table . Her blond hair seemed to be golden , her trait as a elf , the pointy ears give her a mysterious feeling .
Many males gazed upon her causing them to get scold by their female party members .
After sitting down on a chair the three girls stared at Kevin causing him to blush .
"I don't want to go into the sewer , it is dark and smelly . Besides it is not a real dungeon yet !" protest An .
"We won't go into dungeon , for now we will rent the house in the outskirt of the city and start to train individual . Only Kevin should train in the sewer , he is low leveled and wants to level his skills . The war in the sewer should build a good foundation for him ." explained Adam calmly .
"Isn't the sewer quite dangerous ? Many Adventurer die each year ." asked Emilia .
"Nah , it will be fine . After all he will fight with the mice and rat man ." replied Mark casually .
Sweat poured out of Kevins body . Many people die each year and he have to "train" there ?
"So did you register us in the guild ?" asked Adam .
"Yes , everything worked smoothly ." replied Emilia .
"Since the day is nearing to its end we should visit our new house in the outskirts !" said Bogo while standing up . "By the way we won't have to pay rent for it , after all it is a free house for every adventurer . Since we will use it we have to register ourself and leave it in a proper state ."
The whole party agreed and they registered themself in the guild .

8 193The Archivist's Petty Revenge
Amy Thorne has always abhorred making a scene and sticking out. Despite her best efforts in the past, she's never truly been assertive, and prefers sticking to the background. Excess attention is the last thing she wants. She's perfectly fine being a non-obtrusive wallflower at work and in her studies. So when a clique of Mean Girls wannabees start sullying her good name in the Art History department of her university, what is she to do? Contacting the Dean would make a big fuss, and likely would give her the wrong kind of attention. But her subdued pride demands satisfaction! If only there was a way to get back at these girls with out jeopardizing her desire to remain in the background. The only solution? Magic learned from the forbidden texts of her part-time job. Also posted on Scribblehub I'll try to update weekly.
