Novel Full Chapter 61 - New Job Change!
-----
After wondering what the new Skills Frank got after reaching Level 10 with his Farmer Job could do, he used Inspect with the Skills.
[Botany: Level 1/10]
The power of a Skilled Botanist. Can grow plants to their fullest potential.
With enough care, there might be a chance for them to grow with special traits!
[Druid: Level 1/10]
An ability that encompasses your connection with plants and nature.
You can use plants to aid you in battle by binding them inside of your body, make your body a sanctuary for nature to live.
Use any plant you bind inside of your body through the Plant Tattoo within your body parts.
Summon the plant you desire by just willing it, cost Mana for each summons or each enhancement that you want to give or share with the plant.
The amount of plants that you can bind depends on the skill level, being one per level.
"Hm?! Isn't this quite ridiculous for a simple Farmer Job? This is certainly… not how Farmers do anything at all! Since when have farmers been amazing plant tamers? I guess I underestimated the Job of a Farmer… or not and this System is just ridiculous," thought Frank.
"However, these abilities are amazing. If I am capable of finding a plant that I could enhance or turn into something like a plant-type monster, I could get a new companion alongside Ruby," said Frank.
"And Botany… Could I use it on Gwendolyn's farm to hasten the growth of plants and perhaps even enhance their capabilities? That seems like a good idea, maybe I could also lessen the work like that? I will have to try out tomorrow, I suppose… And about the other elephant in the room…"
Frank opened his System Status as he selected the 'Job Changing Sanctuary' System Function.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have reached level 10 in your [Farmer Job] and are qualified to change Jobs again]
[You need to change Jobs to keep leveling up]
[Each time you change to a new job, you will need to level up again 10 times to change Jobs]
"So I will need to reach Level 20 by then? I bet it will get slower and slower… unless I go and beat stronger monsters or… people," thought Frank.
Ding!
[Choose an option between your available Jobs, use Inspect in any of the options to find information about the Jobs]
[The Jobs that are not chosen can be selected again when you are given the chance to change Jobs again]
[Available Job Options]
[Gray Magician], [Spear Warrior], [Rogue] (New!), [Thread Master] (New!)
"What with the 'new'? Did they generate just now? It must be based on the mask and the spider thread skill… Very well then, what should I choose? Ah, I will just use Inspect in everything and decide by then,"
[Gray Magician]
A Job unlocked by a wielder of Gray Magic enhances the user's magic capabilities alongside Gray Magic.
A Skill can be learned every five levels.
[Spear Warrior]
A Job unlocked by a warrior that possesses a strong technique with the spear enhances the user's physical capabilities alongside Spear Technique.
A Skill can be learned every five levels.
[Rogue]
A Job unlocked by someone with an outstanding stealth ability, enhances the user's agility and dexterity, alongside Stealth, Camouflage, and Silence.
A Skill can be learned every five levels.
[Thread Master]
A Job unlocked by a thread master that can produce thread and use it for fighting enhances the user's ability to use threads to greater extents, alongside Spider Thread.
A Skill can be learned every five levels.
"All of them look quite useful… but the best ones are Gray Magician and Rogue. Spear Warrior might seem enticing, but I am not sure that I will keep using spears in the future, meanwhile, magic and stealth will be always useful," said Frank as he rubbed his chin, this was an important decision.
"Should I boost my magic capabilities or enhance my safety through making my stealth better? Decisions, decisions… Strength is always important… And it is becoming harder to train magic, while stealth seems fairly simple as long as I keep it activated… Very well then, if nothing better appears later, I will pick Rogue afterward," said Frank, picking his desired Job.
Ding!
[You changed Jobs to [Gray Magician]!]
[The Level cap has increased by 10 Levels!]
[All of your stats have increased!]
[Skill Proficiency Bonus acquired!]
[The Levels of the [Gray Magic (Innate): Level 2], [Concentration: Level 1], and [Thought Acceleration: Level 2] Skills have increased!]
The moment Frank changed Jobs to Gray Magician, all of his stats increased, alongside his Magic and Mana Points. He felt as if his mind became a bit wider as well, and his magic perception was slowly growing sharper.
"I can even level up Skills with it, how convenient… Though I cannot change Jobs as much as I would like, leveling ten more levels might prove to be an arduous task…" thought Frank.
After being done with the task of changing Jobs, Frank decided to assess Ruby's case, as he noticed that she had finished her Horned Rabbit meal.
Since the Spider Queen was defeated that he and Ruby have not sensed any monsters, as it seemed that they had stopped appearing for a small window of time, perhaps this Hunting Domain becoming a 'safe zone' for a bit to let Frank and Ruby rest.
And because of this, Frank decided in letting Ruby finally get her Mana Core.
Taking out a Mana Core from his Inventory, Frank called Ruby.
"Ruby, come, it's time for something you've been waiting for a long time," said Frank.
"Grawr!" said Ruby, rushing towards Frank as she waved her scaly tail happily.
"Here," said Frank, giving the Mana Core to Ruby as she mauled it in one single bite.
Crunch, crunch.
"You were rather expectant of it, were you not?" chuckled Frank as he moved a few steps away from Ruby to not disturb her Mana Core formation.
"Grawr? …GRAWR!"
Suddenly, Ruby began to struggle as she gasped for air. Frank was worried for a bit but remembered that he suffered the same pain as she when his Mana Core was formed.
"Take it easy, endure the pain, Ruby!" said Frank, as he released waves of Life towards her through his Gift of Life, calming down the little salamander, as the mana in the surroundings began to be absorbed into her chest.
"Graaawrr…!" she cried, glancing at Frank to his eyes… Frank couldn't help but feel a bit of pain in his chest over her little cry, but he had to be strong as well to not jump for her help.
"Resist, I know you can do it, Ruby! You're a talented and strong girl, resist it!" said Frank.
"Growl…!"
Flash!
Suddenly, flames emerged from Ruby's chest as they began to envelop her entirely as if it were a cocoon!
"What the…?!"
Frank covered himself with his Mana Barrier but still felt the burning sensation into his skin, healing himself constantly with Gift of Life.
"You can do it!" roared Frank, giving Ruby cheerings that she, as his monster pet, could understand through their connection.
"Grawr…! Grawr!!!"
Ruby roared as she released flames everywhere, the trees around began to quickly burn down as Frank released large amounts of dirt through the Dirt Skill, putting down the fire slowly but steadily.
Flash!
Suddenly, the fire around Ruby dissipated, as she was revealed resting in the ground while gasping for air…
"Ruby! Are you okay?" asked Frank.
"Grawr…" sighed Ruby, as her body began to exude a higher magical presence.
Ding!
[Monster Pet: [Ruby] has formed her [Mana Core (Crimson Red)]!]
[All of [Ruby] stats have increased]
[Ruby] has acquired a few new Skills]
"Well done, girl… are you hungry?" asked Frank.
"Grawr…" muttered Ruby, after the 'ceremony', her stamina was completely drained, making her incredibly hungrier and thirsty.
Frank quickly took off more butchered Horned Rabbits that he had stored on his Inventory, alongside a large bowl with fresh water brought from Earth.
Ruby began to quickly dig in as Frank inspected her status with a relieved smile.

"She's getting strong… Way too fast, almost at the same pace as me. She even surpasses me in some stats… At least I got equipment to back me up… It is good to know that I am not the only weirdo here…" said Frank, as he opened his Inventory and took around fifty Mana Cores of F-Grade that he had collected from hunting monsters in the forest.
"Maybe I can get a bit ahead of her if I absorb these…" he chuckled.
"Grawr?"
"Don't worry, I will make sure to give you some when we collect more," said Frank as he petted Ruby.
