YM778.TV Chapter 86 - 86
"Congratulations, host! You have acquired a new class! Please check the system menu for further details." Nancy announced after a beat.
"Fine. Let me see my character status, Nancy." Clark smiled and was not annoyed even a bit by the system\'s usual response. By now, our bored gamer was already quite familiar with Nancy\'s quirks.
Give her normal tasks like this one and she will answer with predetermined dull replies.
But then if she was asked deep questions like the meaning of life and such, Clark never doubted that she could compose a million word essay about it and more.

"Hmmm... One problem out the window for me. Now on to another." Clark was satisfied with his decision so far.
He had mulled over this recent dilemma for almost 3 hours and it was refreshing to finally shove it to the past already. It was high time to face another riddle to solve at the moment.
"What to do with my skill points?" Clark asked out loud in the empty room.
He looked at his stats again and was only too happy to see that his mana capacity and mana regen has doubled from getting the Korou Class alone.
"With this much mana, i think that i\'ll be a True Immortal tomorrow morning at the latest!"
Clark grinned and though he may have exaggerated a bit in his words but the feeling of fast improvements has nonetheless tickled his excitement for the coming days ahead.
"Show me the only available skill for the Korou Class, Nancy."
"Affirmative, host."

Mana Devourer – grants increased mana regen for the user (passive ability, can be upgraded)

"This would be quite an op skill to have especially since I need my undead army to farm exp for me. And the more undead creatures I have, the more returns in experience I will also. Should I perhaps upgrade this skill?"
Clark rubbed his long beard and toyed with the talent tree that the skill was in. It was not an imaginative one because all that was registered under its title was Lurker Talent Tree.
This was a special kind of class also for it only provides a single talent tree unlike the rest of the more mundane ones.
"Show me the passive class skill again for the Korou job, Nancy."
"Affirmative, host."
"BOINK!"
* * *
Premium Mana Creature – gives 100% mana boost in capacity and regen to the user (passive skill)

"This class really suits my needs pretty much. But since i have gotten a hold of this, it would make no sense not to abuse this to its fullest."
Clark nodded twice to affirm the decision that he had already made beforehand.
"Spend all my available skill points to the skill Mana Devourer, Nancy." Clark requested with no hesitation in his voice.
Although there were new skills on his 3 talent trees available right now but after a quick scan, not one ability would help him grow his mana reserve.
\'I will upgrade them all once i get enough skill points later on.\' Clark noted in his mind.
"Are you sure, host? Skill points are precious and after you confirm, the change will therefore be irreversible." Nancy cautioned.
"I know. Thank you for the reminder, Nancy." Clark replied warmly.
"Affirmative, host."
Mana Devourer +14 - grants increased mana boost for the user (passive ability, can be upgraded)
"Status." Clark whispered at the system and clear green texts hovered before his eyes like an advanced holographic screen for them science fiction stuff.
It was so cool but alas, our good gamer had become used to its surprising elements already. Even this much grandeur could not anymore move his heartstrings.

"SIGH!"
"I\'m back to being poor again."
"But no matter, I\'ll farm more skill points later on and will even get them at a more quicker pace." Clark could only smile at the prospect of his eventual level ups.
"How fast can i get to level 25 at this rate, Nancy?" Clark asked, fully expecting for bountiful harvests right now.
He had just gotten to this level 10 minutes earlier and from the initial report given by the system, the next level up would have been 45 minutes from now.
But all of that became irrelevant after Clark purchased his new upgrades. That time must have been shortened to no more than 1 minute or so, predicted our bright gamer.
"You will achieve another level at approximately 18 minutes, host." Nancy responded promptly.
"DAMN! There must have been something wrong with my math again!" Clark could only shake his head at his huge miscalculations. Math has never been one of his strengths even back on Earth.
"I guess there\'s no sense in thinking about it anymore. Let time flow as usual and let me rest in peace also in my lonesome." Clark sighed and comforted himself to waiting.
18 minutes later...
"Congratulations, host. You have gained a new level. Please visit the system menu for further details." Nancy announced with her usual lovely voice.
"Finally!" Clark moaned in boredom. He looked at his status once but never even touched that single skill point.
He was going to save them for now because he was nearing a new set of skills from his talent trees at level 30.
"Yup. A good plan indeed. I\'m gonna accumulate my skill points so that i have a few to spare in purchasing at least one level for each of my upcoming abilities."
Clark muttered as he loved to plan ahead for his future.
"I feel like i\'m forgetting something." Clark could not help but utter these words out. He tried forcing his brain to function but it seemed that the thought just eluded him time and time again.
15 minutes later...
"Congratulations, host. You have gained a new level. Please visit the system menu for further details." Nancy announced with her usual lovely voice.
"And another one!" Clark smiled triumphantly.
"And true to her word, the time consumed by the next level up really shortened by a few minutes!" Clark praised the system for how honest it had been so far.
With this fresh level up, he felt the rush of power flow in his veins.
But since there was really no reason to display the entirety of what he was currently capable of so Clark remained as ordinary as ever.
Clark wasted his time singing and whistling anime songs and he even sang a few popular rock songs into the mix. The next songs on his queue were Only One, Face Down, and Your Guardian Angel.
He loved these kinds of music back home and there would be no question that he would continue loving this genre even after his unexpected transmigration.
"YES! I finally remembered what i missed!"
"Yan Kun!"
"You little shit!" Clark fumed for a few breaths. Still, that was all it took before he realized what a great asset Yan Kun had been for himself.
"If not for you, I wouldn\'t have been able to find a new source of income in the City of Cresa."
"I guess I should really make up for that, shouldn\'t i? Hmmm..." Clark contemplated for a bit.
"Okay. Because you did all of that and perhaps more than i could ever know at the moment then let me at least give you a swift and painless death."
In the end, this was the decision that our good gamer arrived at.
"Tan Zan." Clark called into the privacy of his room.
"Here, master." a shadow materialized into existence and the flickering candles only added a more sinister atmosphere to the newcomer.
"I want you to give a special visit to a friend. Are you up to the job, Tan Zan?"
"You need not ask that question, master. You just need to point me in the right direction and I will take the head of anyone who hinders my path! Command me."
If Tan Zan was not a merciless assassin in this life, Clark believed that this man may have been a good poet, given a chance and time to grow.
After this, our bored gamer could only give the instructions of death for the umpteenth time today.
"And to think that the day has only just begun." Clark could only sigh at the presence of death that continued to hound him even at this very moment. He checked the digital clock on the system and said...
"Three fifteen in the morning already. Less than three hours from now and I still have to slaughter some more NPCs again." It was of course the Zhang Family who will get the guillotine next time.
They were already walking corpses and yet totally ignorant of this truth. Each one may perhaps think that they were the swords of justice and represented all that was good and beautiful in their charge.
Still, no one ever escapes the bitterness of casualties in every conflict. Clark remembered a famous line from one of his favorite games ever and could not help but whisper its essence into his heart.
"War, War Never Changes."
