“Ben!” Onk yelled out as he got into the adventurers guild and quickly ran over to him. “Are you alright to be up? The rumour was going around you were barely hanging onto life.”

“I’m all good,” he told her reassuringly. “But what rumours, I don’t think one injured guy is that important?”

“There were dozens of healers rushing into town to treat you, of course there would be rumours about it!” She yelled, before asking in a far quieter voice. “Speaking of, you aren’t a secret noble or something are you? Everyone in the guild has been placing bets trying to figure out why so many nations mobilized some healers to treat you.”

“Man, people are really starved for entertainment here, huh? Anyway no, I just have a fairly important friend out of town that was able to get me help when things were looking bad,” It was technically the truth. He counted Myriad amongst his friends, and he wasn’t exactly in town.

“It must be a good friend to manage that.”

“An excellent one, and I’m all better now so no more gambling on if I’d live or die or whatever you all were doing.”

“Oh, neither the guild leader nor I would allow something like that, it’s a little too barbaric. All gambling began and ended on how you were able to get treatment so if it’s nothing private I’ll pass on what you told me and nobody should bother you.”

“Works for me.”

“Excellent! And with that out of the way, what can I do for you? I know it’s not my place to say but I don’t think you should be taking any quests when you just got out of the clinic.”

“Nothing like that. I’m just here to use the job change room.”

“Hmm?” She said, tilting her head. If she had a face he was sure there would be a confused look on it. “Weren’t you just here for that not too long ago?”

“What can I say, it’s been an eventful few months,” He told her, not mentioning that he’d already changed it once since then.

“Alright, well you know where it is. Make sure you rest up before coming back for any new requests, okay?”

“Of course Onk, I could use a break,” He said, waving her off as he made his way to the job change room.

When he got there he placed his hand on the crystal and let the options fill his mind.

It was exciting to see three new and potentially interesting jobs, though he was a little surprised there was nothing related to his new hammer and knife wielder skills and assumed those jobs could only be unlocked once they leveled up once or twice. As curious as he was for the other ones though, it didn’t matter. He knew what he was picking and made his choice.

As exciting as it was to hear that all of his skills would receive a minor bonus, from what he’d read it was so insignificant that it shouldn’t be a deciding factor when taking the job, but for someone who wanted it it was nice indeed. As enchanting was a magic that made use of all skills, it made sense that they should all grow some as well to properly make use of the skill, and Ben was grateful for it, eagerly looking over his card after taking it and feeling pretty good about his growth, at least until he saw something that raised some concern in him.

Under his passive skills was a new one he’d never heard an announcement of before, presumably because it happened while he was unconscious. Partial demonic body. The skill didn’t have a level which meant he probably couldn’t improve it, and as far as he was concerned that was for the best. While he didn’t have an issue with demon organs being used to save his life, he didn’t expect any changes to occur. He doubted its inclusion on his status simply meant he had demon organs in him now, but he’d been told time and time again that nothing the system did was negative for its users, so at the very least he would assume it was fine for the time being and just leave the option hidden on his card.

As he got home from the guild the atmosphere of the house felt tense as soon as he walked in and he made his way to the kitchen where three people were sitting in an uncomfortable silence.

Thera and Sonya were expected at least, even if their mood was not, but the third was a surprise that put him on guard. Thera’s aunt Vividus, the great life spirit, was sitting at the table with them, much to Ben’s shock, and the tense silence that filled the room made a lot more sense.

“It appears your pet has made it through the day,” She said as he arrived, and not knowing what to do he tried to crack a joke,
