Alana clicked yes although she frowned Why did it say warning instead of the usual congratulations
Warning this bond is permanent Are you sure you wish to proceed Your class will be lost upon the acceptance of this Blessing Y/N
Now this was getting annoying This must be why it had taken so long There were so many pointless notifications Alana pressed yes again
Warning this is your final warning A portion of this bond’s strength will be drawn from Randidly Ghosthound Are you sure that you wish to accept this bond Y/N
Holy FUCK Alana swore pressing yes
This time the familiar blue notifications appeared

Oh wow Alana whispered looking at the notifications She had no idea how good the class would end up being but the changes to her skills obviously seemed to be changes for the better She couldn’t wait to try out her new skills And these weren’t even the skills she would get when she got the class
She selected the option to display the notifications publically and The Ghosthound carefully read through everyone of them
At the end he sighed So only really useful for people without classes huh Still that leaves us some options Anyway don’t die before we return to Donnyton and get the class I want to see the stat gains
Wouldn’t it be easier if I just got it here Alana wondered aloud but The Ghosthound shook his head
The place you get your class some sort of weird connection is formed there I’m not sure what it does but we shouldn’t take it lightly Just keep leveling up skills for now After all the efficiency of grinding for PP is increased now that you have a soul skill If it works the same way mine does you get a bonus every 5 PP spent Devan just don’t let her die alright
Devan nodded seriously and the Ghosthound walked to the edge of the roof and jumped disappearing into the night
Devan walked up beside her and looked after The Ghosthound for a long moment Then he turned to her
Time to get to work Ready to join the defenses
Tessa looked at the ground frowning
She didn’t know what she had expected She had reunited with an ex boyfriend THE ex boyfriend and in spite of the crazy change that had occurred they had gone to a concert together and then he came over to her apartment to talk
Although she didn’t necessarily expect him to beg to be back together what she really hadn’t expected was for their relationship not to come up at all instead Randidly had urged her to move north to a different town
She hadn’t even realized there WAS a different town Tessa had sorta been under the impression that Franksburg was all there was left
While she was sitting on the couch frowning and pondering the apartment door opened and one of her roommates came back practically bouncing with excitement
Tessa Did you hear People came from out of town Like out out of town Like 30 miles north out of town And they want people to resettle with them How crazy is that
Tessa blinked That’s crazy
Sam sat in his workshop kneeling on the floor trembling
The pressure had evened out somewhat recently from Raid Bosses and Donnyton was instituting several new policies in order to raise preparation for the possibility of that happening again One of those policy was the official formation of 5 new Squads
Sam had already done the work on the pendants to give them their mark of pride but more squads meant more and better equipment needed to be made Armor was important as an extra 50 or so health it provided would mean a lot If some stats could be added so much the better
In addition the high frequency of combat meant that there was equipment in need of repairs and when it came to skill Sam stood at the top of his crafting association
But at the moment he did nothing
Instead he frantically struggled to move overcome by a strange bout of weakness His hands trembled slightly unable to even maintain a grip on the small hammer he had been using to work
Over the past few weeks there had been a few scattered moments of lightheadedness where he felt strangely empty and light as if all his strength left him
Initially Sam had worried it was age but Rickman their official whiskey brewer had been 79 before the system came a doddering old man After slowly leveling his various skills and using the points to increase his Vitality and Endurance Rickman’s strength had returned and now he had salt and pepper hair looking as though he had just turned 50
Because of this and other examples of the elderly recovering at least some strength if not their youth as their stats rose and because no one else seemed to be suffering from these strange bouts of weakness Sam had ignored them
But now as he trembled on the ground unable to move he was profoundly afraid There was so much they didn’t know about the system so many pitfalls they might blindly walk into If he died here Randidly Lyra Even that fucker Kal still over in Turtletown
And Regina
Sam breathed slowly trying to calm himself And strangely he felt the bout of weakness recede
5 minutes later he stood feeling just as vigorous as he ever had But when he looked at his hands there was a hint of fear
What was happening to him
Chapter 81
Randidly looked out over the ruined suburbs surrounding Franksburg the corners of his mouth quirking up Unfortunately the leaders of Franksburg had been rather loose with their class allowances It looked like 700ish people had been given classes That was about as much as Donnyton had Of course the difference in quality of the Classers was obvious but still
It made it a little hard to imagine Donnyton becoming the superpower that he wanted it to be so he could use the superior political power for leveraging information Their higher skill in crafting and potion making would hopefully be enough to maintain their trading partnerships with Donnyton likely coming out ahead with its higher end products In terms of fightings strength though in the long run
But if Franksburg wanted to threaten Donnyton’s position of dominance in the region they needed to survive this night
Based on the information he had gotten from Alana the town had 42 000 people The monster horde was about 3x what Randidly had ever seen attack Donnyton which would put it just below 20k monsters coming
If 700 people had classes that meant that the NCCs would count for a little less than half a monster to push them up to the 20k total It seemed that NCCs only counted for about ? a monster in terms of the horde Randidly was relieved in a way
Not that he wanted the horde to be big enough to threaten the city but he certainly wanted Franksburg to feel fear and rely upon the goodwill of Donnyton In addition Randidly wanted to be out among the horde leveling his skills Especially Circle of Fire and Pollen of Rafflesia the high area skills
With this huge amount of monsters although he could slow their advance he wouldn’t do enough damage to the horde as a whole to make it too easy for Franksburg Basically
