Chapter 26: Level Up

I looked at the window with a shaky smile. After all this time, words have meaning, so it was clear to me what the quest for evolution was all about.

(Is it...)

(Yes, it looks like we just needed an extra experience point to trigger it, it's a good thing I'm so diligent.)

I couldn't believe it, When I learned that I was at the max level I was very disturbed. First, since I was still E-rank, I started to think that I could never get stronger, but Midgard remained confident and assured me that they would look for a way, but I didn't expect to be so fast.

(So? I can feel your heart beating like a girl in front of a handsome man~, more like a beautiful lady in this case.)

(Ha, you know what, I'll give you that, great job!)

(Ah, yes, praise me more.)

(Haha... Let's not be crazy... But really good job.)

(More.)

(You are amazing!)

(Call me 'my love'!)

(Oi...)

(Fine, fine, I'll save that for later. So, ready to expend your maximum?)

With a smile on my face and a burning sensation in my chest, I rushed into the infirmary and replied in a single breath.

(Let's do it.)

|Evolution quest accepted |

A wave of warm energy passed through my body, I felt my fatigue disappear instantly and my body became lighter.

"So this is an evolution... Incredible... This is the first time I've felt a real change..."

I checked the screen to see all the changes, and a new window called work was added to the screen.

(What is this? A new form of quest?) historical

(Not exactly, it's the equivalent of what you call classes, or branches to be exact, let's check that.)

I opened the window and was quite impressed with the decor, a list of names with icons displayed several branches.

|Jobs

Knight lvl1

Healer lvl1

Swordmaster lvl1

Archer lvl1

Rogue lvl1

Mage lvl1

|Special Job (Locked)

"Wow... What is that-"

(I knew it! I knew it! I always said it, they don't know anything, they are all blinded by their little knowledge, but this is proof that I was right! How do you explain that? WHO was right at all this time?)

(... You? What are you doing?)

(Oh, sorry little wonder, I let my emotions overwhelm me, but look, that's what I was saying, this is proof that you're the only true Avatar, in this place. Look at all these jobs, can you understand the infinite potential within you? Can you imagine your full power once you master them all?)

(I'm trying to... But I can't see all the classes, Why is there no puppeteer or hero?)

(Puppeteer? Isn't that an upper magic class? Pay attention, those are the names of every branch in general.)

(Even Hero?)

(You just leveled up, it might still be locked, this could be the special job. The system never makes a mistake and we will have all the time in the world to figure this out, look at all these jobs, and imagine the time it will take to reach the maximum level... Imagine the endless requirements to maximize their level, imagine what lies behind this special job... Meeting you was a true blessing.)

Despite the distance, I could imagine the girl gloating. I couldn't really complain, at the cost of becoming her lab rat, I had gained access to the full extent of the system.

At that moment, for the first time ever, nothing else mattered. The moment my stats increased, I felt a change in my body, not just physically. I felt my mind become more fluid, I felt more grateful to Midgard, was it because of the intelligence stats? Or sensitivity?

It was very fascinating, my goal shifted from living a rich life to satisfying the curiosity of getting everything the system had to offer.

(Let's start by sharing the skill points, We have 50 points and 10 stats, if we were wise enough we would put 5 in each of them, but since your physical attributes are dire we will focus on that for the moment.)

We talked for a while and then divided the stat points as follows: 10 points for attack, 20 points for physical defense, and 20 points for endurance.

Stats:

|Attack: 27

|Physical Def: 33

|Intelligence: 29

|Magic Def: 22

|Speed:24

|Stamina:31

|Mana:50

|Agility: 26

|Sensitivity: 33

|Luck: 6

|Stat Points: 0

Honestly, I was a little bitter about not putting anything into luck, since every stat change had an effect on me, I really wanted to see what more luck would give. In a way, it was nice to have Midgard to control my impulses.

(How do you feel?)

(I feel very light, not as much difference as before but I don't really see any...)

As I said this, I grabbed one of the beds and lifted it a few inches before letting go.

"??? What... It really worked! I'm really getting stronger!"

(... Is lifting a bed a great feat?)

(It is! With my sigma form it's absolutely impossible, I couldn't lift a greatsword before, without magic enhancement, but now I can lift a bed? That's awesome! Let's change places, I want to test it. )

(Fine, fufu, go crazy.)

I raise my hand and a black sphere appears on my palm.

(*Switch*)

My eyes sparkled with a green aura and a green and black aura swirled around me for a few seconds before dissipating.

Alone in the middle of the infirmary, the young man remained with his eyes closed, barely breathing, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face. He walked towards a mirror on the wall and when he opened his eyes, his green irises covered his narrow pupils like a snake.

"Hmm, darling, I don't understand why that offends you so much, That's a face any woman would kill for."

Switch, is a skill shared by a Player and their Avatar, allowing each to exchange powers and bodies. Thanks to the system, Midgard was able to do the quests in Dora's place, but combined with the strange nature of the latter's powers, she could take a certain amount of his attributes, in the forms of his personas, and thanks to his dimensional magic, they had accessed a form of teleportation.

In the woods, the young man in the woman's body regained all his attributes and eagerly opened the job window. In the infirmary, the woman in the young man's body, after looking at herself in the mirror, headed towards the door, both with a mischievous smile.

"Let's have fun."
