Chapter 175 - Ervas New Job Changes
-----
After having evolved and gained the ability to transform through the Beast Transformation Skill, Ervas decided to see on his Job options, he had the feeling that there should be new options available… Especially after he ate a god such as Oggoth.
"Ervas! Ervas!" said Gaia, flying around the new and… slightly fluffer Ervas.
"Well, I can do this to erase these traits if I want…" muttered Ervas, as he transformed his cute and fluffy tail and wolf ears into Phantom through the Phantom Form Transformation, and then slowly put them inside of his body.
"And I'm back to normal… wasn't that hard," said Ervas nonchalantly.
"…No fluffy anymore?! Ervas, you must be fluffy! Puppy Ervas! I want Puppy Ervas!" said Gaia, protesting for fluffy puppy Ervas to come back.
"Maybe another day… I feel a bit betrayed by the disappointing transformation. Well, it still brought a bit of strength, and it increased my senses, but it wasn't as much as I imagined" said Ervas.
"Fluffy Ervas, when?" asked Gaia.
"Tomorrow, maybe," said Ervas.
"Hmmm… Okay!" said Gaia.
Ervas finally persuaded Gaia from not being fluffy for the rest of the night, glancing at his status window at last and then at his Job Change Tab. He had reached level 100 in both his Rank and Job after killing and well, technically eating Oggoth, so he had recently evolved and was now ready to change Jobs.
[Jobs Available]
[Gray Wizard], [Spiritual Alchemist], [Mana Crafter], [Life Demon Druid], [Hollow Demon General], [Artisan: Phantasmal Living Equipment], [Guardian of the Spiritual Forest], [Herald of Life and Death], [Living and Undead Progenitor], [Vicious Bloodsucking Phantasmal Demon], [Dead Spirit's Prince of Death], [Malevolent Inner Skeleton Manipulator], [Demon Beast King], [Soul Healer], [Spiritual No-Life Doctor], [Aberrant Abyssal Mind Flayer], [Tartarus Phantasmal Warrior], [Elysium Bringer] (New!), [Gods Nemesis] (New!), [Yang] (New!)
"Three new jobs… Wait, what even is Elysium…?" wondered Ervas.
"Elysium?"
Ervas began to search through his memories through the vast library of memories on his Memory Retention Skill, quickly finding what it was through the memories he had about investigating a bit about that.
"Elysium is a part of the Underworld of Greek Mythology where certain souls rested in peace and harmony, unlike the rest of the underworld… It was a place reserved for the worthy, such as heroes, and champions, or those close to the gods after they died… Err, that's all, I think… And there is also the part where it later becomes… a place for the people that have not committed sins to go, something like heaven, I guess…" muttered Ervas.
"So I am leading people to Elysium? To a concept of heaven? Why is it? What is there in me that causes such a thing?" wondered Ervas, glancing at his own tiny hands.
What was Ervas doing, that led people to an 'Elysium' and what could that even represent?
Checking the Job information itself did not give him many answers either, as he got a very simple text saying 'A Job for those that lead people to Elysium'… alongside the stat bonuses, skills, and all of that.
"Is it some kind of good thing, I suppose? It's not a frightening Job, at least I do not bring them to hell… I think Veronica had a different Job named Acheron Ferrier, which was the one that led people towards the underworld, so our Job changes must be connected somehow, though we might be the opposites in that regard" thought Ervas, rubbing his chin while nodding.
Ervas then glanced at the other Jobs.
"God Nemesis is quite obvious, we just killed a God, so it's most likely because of that. Never knew that the System would recognize it that fast though… The description says that it increases skills related to killing gods and souls, I see… And… Yang? That is, it? The Job is simply called Yang… like Yin and Yang? Is Veronica a Yin then?" wondered Ervas.
The Yang Job seemed mysterious, while also having an amazingly simple name… Did it simply mean that he represented the aspects of Yang? And if Veronica had Yin, she represented them too, is it?
Then, using such a conclusion, does it mean that, because both Ervas and Veronica are connected, while also representing the opposites of each other… they are something similar to Yin and Yang?
Ervas could not help but ponder these thoughts, but ultimately decided in discarding to overthink things, and decided to choose this new Job right away, as he was curious about its truest potential, if Veronica were to have the Yin Job, then both of them might receive a substantial boost by being together or something like that… or so thought Ervas.
Ding!
[You changed Jobs to [Yang]!]
[The Levels of the [Out-of-Body-Experience; Level 2], [Health Points Enlargement: Level 1], [Life Drain; Level 4], [Pharmacist; Level 1], [Surgery; Level 1], [Healing Touch; Level 2], [Surpass Limits: Soul: Level 2], and [Soul Fusion: Level 2] Skills have increased!]
[You acquired the [Yang: Level 1] Skill!]
"A lot of skills leveled up… and a new Skill?"
[Yang: Level 1/10]
A Skill gave to the representation of the Yang, the beliefs of Earth's mythology over the bright side of the world, representing life, healing, amongst many other things.
This skill simply increases all the capacities of the user's abilities that go along with the representation of Yang.
Whenever the user is near what it sees as Yin, its capabilities increases.
"Very straightforward… It's just increases everything, I suppose" thought Ervas while nodding.
Ervas then decided to finally sleep, or at least his physical body, as his mind was still constantly working alongside the many Phantom Clones he created. Which were attending the Gazers or the ones that remained wounded after the battle.
Gaia sat down on his forehead as she wished him a good night, and Ervas, or at least his physical body, dozed out comfily and seemingly without many worries on his expression, despite having just eaten a Demon God a few hours ago.
