While the skinny young man flinched, Aki's grin turned into a soft smile again and he patted the place next to himself, signaling for the man to come and sit.

His dark brown hair was illuminated by the fire, almost black brown eyes, a face that was neither sharp nor rounded. Truthfully a normal face that can't be said to be much above average.

It's just that he was covered in dried blood in many places and when his smile reached full bloom it made him look strange. Like he was trying to imitate some kind of serial killer but just couldn't get it right.

Besides that, he just had a calm or tired expression most of the time. That's the protagonist. Sorry for the delay, his appearance just didn't matter that much.

Even if I say he is just above average or that his hair and eyes are actually dark brown, that doesn't make him much different from any protagonist, does it?

Uh? The creepy smile thing? He had it during the fights, but besides that he just seemed focused like any other person in a life or death situation.

The skinny youth seated as he was asked to and ate without uttering a single sound, even when his teeth started to hurt he did not complain.

By the way, his teeth hurt because all the meat was a little black, though Aki ate the ones that were worse.

At the end the two had ate the whole alpha.

-Now, let's talk business. What's your class? I am an assassin (uncommon class) , but that's just for the moment. You?

-Arcane magician (rare class). I can teach you magic if you protect me while we're here.

-No problem. Though I'd love to have a companion, it seems like both of us would prefer another kind of company.

-Um.

-Dois. I haven't had much time until now to feel my skills and mana flow, but I kind of get how it works. I want to get a magician class, so please, do tell me about the fells you get when using a spell.

-Even if you tell me to describe it…

-No need to worry, even if you're bad at describing something you just have to remember that most magic tomes are filled with gibberish because the authors didn't know how to write in a way other people understood.

-Is… is that so? Well, it feels like my body heats up in certain parts and something flows in like a high current of blood.

-So it's like… yeah, ok, even I can't do such lame joke. Anyway, show me your most basic magic and tell me how you feel during it exactly, the way the energy flows, and I will try to copy it.

…

-Hee, I guess you really messed it up there, that guy already thought of how to replicate spells. Said devil A.

-Like that even helps much, you need to be a genius or… Tried to say the guy with a big hole in his head.

-He did it. I guess you were going to say that you need to not have magic in you when you were born or have a high understanding of magic, right? You do remember this guy has both, since the magic in his world was close null. Correctly guessed the grinning friend.

-Mooo… why are these things happening to me? Did I not pray enough? Haven't my offerings not reach the Lord? -Cried the nerd.

-Were you born ugly like that? Was your luck with woman always this bad?

With his friend's salt added on the scar, the devil was nearly crying. He truly would if there wasn't a rule about not doing so while on the job. Distracts some people with a kink on that and causes accidents, mostly all the time.

[*Ding* You have met the requirements for a class change: Arcane mage - Sufficient understanding of mana and how to focalize it yourself, success in casting an attributeless spell with sufficient power. Attention, only one class slot is free, choose wisely.]

[As one of the few who found the knowledge about the root of magic, the Arcane mage is a scholar and an explorer of the great abyss of magic, but it is up to him as to how to utilize such knowledges.]

[Would you like to change to this class? Bonuses and skills will be applied after doing so]

This may look easy, but it is as hard as to get the gunner class, which needs a certain understanding of guns, how to make, maintain and upgrade than, besides other things, and to successfully make your own fire weapon. By yourself.

That's one of the main reasons why this class is considered as something only dwarfs and gnomes would choose, and one of their signature classes.

Even if a class is "rare" it can still evolve just like other classes, but it is also very hard to truly take advantage of that.

[*Ding* Feat of strength accomplished! Legendary learner: learn a magic spell or martial technique totally without the system's or another capable source's help. +5 intelligence.]

[*Ding* Feat of strength accomplished! Persistent: Perform a spell or martial technique with great effectiveness but with a poor compatibility with you. +1 endurance]

-Well, you're apparently not considered as a capable source of help in the system's point of view. I just performed a feat of strength saying that, don't look at me like that. Anyway, I also got the class, thank you. No, I won't be betraying you now because that doesn't offer me any benefit at all, now stop you freak. I'ma gonna sleep.

As Aki showed zero concern for his suspiciousness, a waver happened in his suspicion, but it was a quick one. I kind of forgot, but the thin youth is named Alex, and he has black hair, black eyes and white skin. Not the sickly kind, mind you, but more like he didn't go out much.

(Okay, I will stop with the trying secret ways to accept a class, but I will find it one day system! Yes.)

Yes, that's why no class change notification appeared until now.

[New class: Arcane magician. +20 intelligence. +20 wisdom.]

…

Aki went on as he said he would from the next day on. Killing like there was no tomorrow.

"Pissing and shiting" as the saying goes, was actually facilitated because of the dungeon's laws, yes, it's obviously a dungeon, and this dude never had much shame to begin with.

-What do you mean this is a dungeon?

-Whenever you walk around enough you have this feeling you're getting to another place and know that there's some kind of information about the monsters of the area inside your brain all of a sudden. That sounds like a newbie dungeon to me.

-This may sound rude, but aren't you taking this too much like a game?

-I've always lived like this, just restrained by society. It may seem like a game to you, but I looks like a giant opportunity to live the life I always wanted, so shut up and follow me into this treasure vault filled with level fifty or higher monsters. No matter what, just do exactly what I do.

-I don't really have choice, do I?

-Blame your parents or the God of earth that your sleep is so deep I was able to carry you here in an hour without waking you up. Just don't dream of robbing my XP.

As he said that, Aki heard a click sound and the temple's door opened.

[Maximum experience reached, telekinesis is now level 5.]

[*Ding* Arcane magician is now level 3. 5 attribute points awarded.]

As you can see, you can level up by performing job related actions. Did you perhaps thinks cooks go around wielding giant ass knifes? No, well, some actually do that even if they don't have a combat class, but that's besides the point.

Aki has been tinkering with and moving the mana on his body since he woke up, so that's actually when he got telekinesis as a spell choice.

Magicians normally have several options for spells, and sometimes extra effects, every time while leveling, so the difference between two individuals happens to be quite big even in the same classes.

Of course, like Aki, one can always learn a spell the "normal" way, but that is quite hard and the spells can always be changed when in the skill list.

*Suu* *Suu* *Suu*...

After the flamethrowers at the door, It didn't take long before getting to other traps. But a normal trap against those in the tutorial are just…

-Trash! Where's the Greek fire? Where's the undead wall?! The slime house?! Come over, you faggot of a dungeon master!

After thirty minutes of easily blocking arrows, corrosive slugs that are afraid of lightning, pitfalls filled with spikes that were easy to detect, making that giant stone run after nothing because he triggered it before reaching the determined place, while still robbing the gold…

-FUCK! You brats wouldn't even step in here if I wasn't ordered to restraint myself, now shut the fuck up! Said the huge, scary image of a monster that resembled a human woman but had its nipples censored when the creator suggested to put a harpy here.

I will shut up about that.

-If you're such a big deal, then you shouldn't hide behind such measly illusion jackass!

-Listen you… *crack* *crunch crunch crunch… *

-You…

-Baaim earting a farry, Yesh. (I am eating a fairy, yes.)

*Gulp*

-It tastes like cream cheese but crunchy. I am not giving it to you. Said Aki while holding half of the former dungeon master that was hiding behind the ilusion mentioned before. Her's wasn't really a combat class

[*Ding* Feat of strength accomplished!

[*Ding* Feat of strength accomplished!

Dungeon conqueror: destroy a dungeon core. +1 all stats]

-WUUUHHUUUUUUU! I don't even need to find a way to rob the core now! Anyway let's run.

-What?

-We shouldn't be too far away from the boss room and with the core broken it will not have a compulsion to stay there if it detects us, so I have no way to defeat it.

-What?!

-I thought killing the dungeon master wouldn't break the core, just make it more stupid. I just received a notification saying I was wrong, so now we… wait for me!

Yes, Aki's bad mouth was a strategy. The plan was to kill and eat the dungeon master, use the excessive mana from its meat as a boost and make a hole in the boss room's door, so he could cast a fire spell inside the room and burn all the oxygen away. Even if the boss was an undead that would actually be useful in many ways.

As they runned away, Aki and Fieron (That's how the skinny guy presented himself when asked) actually heard some thump-like sounds (The sound of something very heavy beating metal) and were extremely scared, so they runned a lot faster.

Which, after Aki's new plan of waiting outside the dungeon entrance succeed, proved to be the right choice.

-Is that…

-I'd say it's an orc general, maybe named.

The pig like man of three meters had just knocked himself against the entrance barrier and was holding its head.

-So we kill it while it is behind the barrier? You sure it won't retreat?

-Not before we incapacitate it's legs. Shoot a mana missile with focus on penetrative power and feed it a lot of mana. Think of gungnir, the Lance that pierces all or something along those lines while at it, ok?

-Ok.

-At my mark you shoot its left leg. Don't miss. 1, 2, 3, NOW!

Both shots hit the orc's legs and it Buhi-ed into anger, trying to break the barrier with his punches.

It was only a matter of time until it died, after all, between an animal that was born yesterday and an animal that lived in human society for sixteen years, the later is obviously smarter.

With all the mini-dungeons inside the forest having a level bracket of +10 the area they were placed at, obviously no dungeon monster could leave its lair's.

If a champion happened to level up to much while inside the dungeon and couldn't leave its premises, the his or hers patron would teleport the champion out.

While in this case…

-Hey, you sure it's ok to leave this guy alive? Said devil A.

-It is not up to me to decide. Answered the gazer.

-Dude, are you ok? What happened to your voice? "Worryingly" said devil nerd. His coworker's voice was profound and narrator like

-I lost a bet. It isn't just your human that happens to be causing unexpected events to happen. Grumbled the narrator demon.

-Yeah, heard the number four actually already reached level 40 as a berserker. Number one seems to be a paladin by the way, is it really OK to leave him be?

-A-kun worries to much. It's not like we can't use him or any other "holy" adventurer for our cause. Said nerd-kun.

-Yeah, I get that, but the guy just seems totally fanatical, you think it's going to be ok if he finds out boss is a demon and was lying before, even if she only used her charm on them that one time? Continued the guy with a one letter nickname.

-You overestimate humans too much. That guy murdered other ten people already, you really think he will care to try to commit suicide when we tell him to follow our orders, just because he is following a different race? Unfasedly said the floating eyeball.

-No, that's exactly the type of thing they get crazy about dude. Answered the knowledgeable otaku.
