《The Empath [hidden]》chapter 4
Advertisement
I woke up in the inn, it's midday and sun shines inside the room, the windows placed well enough that light it allows isn't annoyingly hitting on my face, you see I find that kinda things to be very irritating, well I should get on with day I guess, as I head down stairs to the dinning hall in the inn, I was greeted by a very surprised inn keeper.
"Oi, who are you and why are you coming out from that room, I don't remember seeing you yesterday neither that you booking a room"
Tossing him the room key, I explain yesterday no its event of the day before I guess, after I finish he gives me a sheepish grin and nods remembering something, after breakfast to fill satiety bar, I head out to get my class.
I enter the mage guild, it's fairly old 3 story building which is fairly large, it's western style and built of stone and some black brick like thing, the entrance door was carved with symbols and circles, opening it I find myself in a room filled with decorations of different thing, a few furniture and a counter by the door leading to other rooms? I guessing.
Anyway I approach the counter and hit the small bell, but something shiny hit my face.
"How rude can't you see me here, anyway keep quite masters trying out a new spell" the small glowy thing whispers in my ear.
I try to ask my question but was shut up by another smack in the face by the glowy, after a few minutes a loud boom can be heard followed by a healthy laugh.
"Sigh....The master messed up again, it's gonna cost to fix things up...sigh....another month in red"
"Still there, can I speak now, you are missing on potential customer you know"

Though it doesn't pay attention to my first part, as soon as I say customer I gain it's full attention and a bright glow.
"Sorry about that kind sir, what may I do for yo....wait you are here for the class change" it shouts half way through as it sees my level and I can somehow see dollar signs all round it.
"Yeah yeah I am Here for class change but sorry to disappoint you I am choosing mind mage the cheapest class, anyway what exactly are"
"But why, that's a stupidly useless class, don't you want to be something more" it cries out at the potential cheap customer.
"Well I have my plans and am not going to change it, well I will pay double if you tell me what you are though" I say, wondering what it's, in the past ten years I have never seen anything this small.
"Hmph how rude, can't you tell I am pixie, I will take the extra cash for your rude behavior then, though I must say not only are you rude but you are also stupid for choosing that class" it says mockingly.
Without replying I hand over the money and wait for it give me the class tome for choosing class.
"Hmm. ?...that's about right, here is the class tome, since you are so stupid why don't I recommend a skill for you to learn, it should at least help your stupid weak class a little"
"Are you sure you aren't trying to make me buy things just so you can make money" to which it let's out a squirm "well doesn't matter, tell me what do you recommend"
Hearing me again the strange atmosphere appear and it says happily "well I could recommend mana mastery and mana manipulation it should help increase your spell damage output considerably, it cost 60 gold though"

Though mana manipulation sounds great it's just controlling how much mana you pour in a spell but that too helps I guess, again I hand over the money and get the tomes, I was then led to training room underground which was actually mini dungeon that produced low level monsters, anyway the skills I learned are,
Mind mastery Lvl 1 :
Increases the defense of the mind and allows to perform complex mind magic. 10% effectiveness for mind based spells
Fear Lvl 1 :
Induces fear in the mind of the target, cost 10 Mp, duration 1 minute effect decreases the targets strength by 2-5% (if the target is higher level than you, there is 20% chance you will fail and be stunned for 5 sec).
Confusion Lvl 1 :
Causes confusion in the targets senses by directly messing with its brain, cost 20 Mp, duration 1 minute, effect decreases the dodging and attack accuracy by 2-5% (if the target is higher level than you, there is 20% chance you will fail and be stunned for 5 sec).
Boost Lvl 1 :
Boost strenght and speed of the target by 2-5% for a duration of 5 minutes and costs 50 Mp, the target must have a clear mind for the spell to work.
Regen Lvl 1 :
Increases all Regen by 10% by casting the spell on the targets brain, cost 100 Mp and last 10 minutes.
Illusion body Lvl 1 :
Cast a illusion of yourself in order to distract your enemy and let you escape, cost 100 Mp lasts for a minute, can be re cast 3 times
Mana Mastery Lvl 1 :
Master the usage of mana to reduce spell cost and increase damage, 5% reduction in spell cost and 5% increase in spells effectiveness (duration, damage and stuff).
Mana manipulation Lvl 1 :
Let's you manipulate the mana, can pour in extra mana into spell to increase its effectiveness, further abilities are locked till you reach higher levels.
Yup as the pixie said it's one weak ass buffer class, 5 times less effective than normal buffer class but no one should focus on long term benefits if not for my goal I could choose this class, but now that I choose it no other option than to put up with it better if I can enjoy it, we'll surely it must have its own charm right right?

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.

There's A Boy in my Bed (BoyxBoy)
"We can't do this." I whisper as our lips re-connect, a tingling fire surging through my body as his hands ravage unexplored lands; my innocence dissipating away with every peck he trails down my neck."I know we can't. That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me."What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin."Who cares."**********Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things.- YOP
