7 Becoming An Adventurer [part 1]

"Ah... Fuck my left nut, I thought that was going to be easy," I mutter as I get up on my feet. The sweet mesmerizing sensation I had felt was just a fluke, a complete deception. After I was healed by whatever that thing was, I went through excruciating pain. A pain that I never wish to go through again.

[One notification. Do you want to view it?]

[YES] <or > [NO]

"Yes."

[Congratulations! You've finally become the fool hero. You have earned one reward. You have to view the reward before you proceed.]

Huh... There's no option to choose from. I guess I have no choice…

"View Reward."

[You've unlocked the system guide: Darkus. Darkus is a small fist-sized genderless familiar that knows everything about the system. Darkus can also be summoned into the real world once the host completes some requirements.]

{Hello master… Hehe, I am Darkus, your system guide and familiar.}

Ahem... Nice to meet you, Darkus.

{Well, I am not actually happy to see you master, tch. Either way, Let's do the most important thing right now. Say, open status.}

"Open Status!"

{Well, you didn't need to say it out. People would think you were mad, master.}

"...."

[Opening Status...]

[Name: Owen Hunter]

[Status: Hero]

[Talent: Mage]

[Mana Pool: Bronze Rank 1]

[Unique Skill: Art of Deception <<With this skill, the hero will be able to deceive, influence, and manipulate others. They can deceitful by any means possible in most effective ways, or employ anything at hand achieve without emotional issues moral dilemmas either before, during, after deed. This skill includes use of Illusion which requires a huge amount Mana.]< p>

[Unique Skill²: Hands of Pleasure <<The host will be able to pleasure any life form through means either by sex, massage, or other method as long the host's hands make contact with form. This skill requires weave Mana into impossible shapes, thereby force-inducing pleasure.]< p>

[Specialization: Space Magic.]

Seeing the stats in front of me, my mouth opens in shock. Did I really gain the powers of the god of deception and pleasure in the form of two unique skills?!

{Well, I have to answer your question about that. The god of deception and pleasure was killed by the upper echelons after causing mischief and chaos in the celestial realm. Before he was killed, in order to prevent his celestial order from being locked away, he decided to give it out instead, for some reason. That's all I can tell you.}

Hearing Darkus' words, I nod my head in understanding. Having such powers will surely make one the most hated. I see the reason why the power needs to be locked up, but I somehow ended up with it.

"Darkus, can you explain more about magic specialization in general?"

{Yes, master, I can explain. In this world, every mage, even gods, can only control one element each, which is why it's called specialization. Specializations can range from any element such as earth, water, lightning, wind, fire, and aether. Below these elements, several sub-elements are also in existence. However, above them all is one single element, the one from which all other elements we

re-created; space magic. It's a super-rare specialization that can only be found in one in a million people. Aether is also a rare element too.}

{Furthermore, for each element, there are several spells that are bound to them. Spells are like portals that will enable you to have a connection with your specialization. The rarer your specialization, the rarer the spells.}

Paying attention to Darkus' explanation, I finally understand how specialization works. And for some reason, a smile blooms on my face. After all this while, I have finally seen something that's going to test my endurance and resilience. Okun and Mika, I will surely get my revenge.

"Darkus, where should we start from now? My Mana pool is at the lowest levels. Heck, I don't know where to get spells from."

{Your Mana pool will increase by slaying beasts and absorbing their crystals. As for the spells, well... You know I told you that other elements were created from space, so...}

Suddenly, realization dawns on me.

I can cast any spell!

{Yes, you can cast any spell. Spells for space elements are hard to get even if you have the money. But since you can cast other spells, I think you should focus on that for now. All you have to do is slay some beasts!}

I see…

Glancing at the town ahead of me, I decide to head there. I must gain some intel about this place. Concluding my thoughts, I move my leg to jump down from the building again, but a very loud voice in my head halts my movement.

{If you jump this time, I promise you'll die!}

"..."

Running down the stairs, I step out of the building and head towards the town.

____________________________________________________________

Right now, I am in the town called Whadoomeelf. There are markets, houses, certain centers that seem to be holding some sort of fight tournament, and what surprises me the most are the people armed to the tooth with weapons and gear, walking around as if it's the norm.

After collecting some intel from the village, I learned that there's an adventure guild about a mile away from here. Following the directions I was given, I follow it till I get to a very large dome-shaped building made from gigantic Lego-like bricks. The sight is both intimidating and intriguing.
