I felt slightly surprised when I saw “x thing spirit summon” so I decided to ask the Guider Spirit because I seemed incapable of reading the complete descriptions of the skills I had yet to buy, it only said the most basic of things.
“Indeed, much like your Farmer Class is capable of bringing Farming Spirits now, these other Classes are also supposed to have something similar, the Novice Of All Trades Subclass is an upgrade of Jack of All Trades, so it has a bit of everything.” Said the Guider Spirit.
“You see, every Class has their own special thing, even the crafting and creation-oriented classes have something called “Spirit Summon” Skills of each profession, by summoning not only these spirits can grow stronger with their master but they can considerably boost their power. whenever you finally find someone that has mastered these professions to a degree, they might be able to summon a spirit of such profession. Other classes got similar things, such as the Paladin’s “Holy Guardian Spirit” or the Necromancer’s “Death Reaper Spirit”, and so on.”
“Huh, so it is like that…”
“The developers didn’t wanted to make a game where some classes ended as the bad ones, so every class got something special for them that might be ultimately shared by many but that each one is different… But well, due to the efficiency of how classes work and grow, separations were still made between players and, at the end, many classes are still considered trash, even though they really aren’t…”
“That’s really nice of them though I wonder how these developers are…”
I quickly decided to not pick anything for now, as I was a bit mentally exhausted to think properly. I was also still not the best in the game either, or I had friends with me waiting as well. Titan (Mark) was exceptionally well versed in the game as he had done even more research than I did, and he knew stuff that the Guider didn’t knew about as well, such as stuff from the forums, so I’ll ask him about what to pick.
Before leaving, I quickly decided to take a look at my own appearance, which I’ve been ignoring this entire time. Looking at myself in the mirror, I noticed I grew… taller. I was roughly twenty centimeters taller than before. My chest was also very heavy it had grow considerably in size too… Thankfully, I increased my STR a lot, so even this big chest won’t be an impediment to me!
Noticeably, the rest of my body had also changed, alongside my fair pale white skin there were many green tattoos showing growing trees and leaves, and even flowers. Especially around my legs and arms, and a bit around my neck. My chest also had a strange glowing green orb, similar to the one in the tree behind me. This was also called Heart of the Forest, and was literally my core… If it gets hurt, I might end up getting to weaken, so it is nice I can grow wood over it and then simply hide it from plain sight.
My eyes were gold with a hint of green hue. And my ears were long like those of elves, despite not being one. I also had two antlers made of branches growing out of my head and my hair was brilliant green, with many small and colorful flowers and leaves growing in between. But that was about it, I guess I had not changed that much.
At the end, I finally reached my party. Acorn, Florie, and Nieve had arrived while I was still preparing my classes and setting everything up. It seems Acorn and Nieve had physically changed as well. Acorn was now even fluffier, and around ten centimeters taller. His fur had now gained white and gray stripes, and he had a small white horn made of crystal over his forehead.
He had evolved into a Mystic Horned Squirrel-kin, while Nieve looked slightly similar than before, but a bit bigger, she also had a small horn made of ice growing from her forehead, she had become a Frost Winter Fairy, from merely being a Fairy. It seems that although she had the talent for ice, she wasn’t really an ice fairy before until she evolved.
“You took almost half an hour!” Rita immediately complained.
“I am sorry! I was so busy…” I sighed.
“Well, it is good you’re back. And it seems that you caused quite the fuss.” Said Titan. “That tree over there… is that something you did when you evolved? It still alive, and it has been producing a lot of spiritual essence everywhere… We all feel quite comfortable around it, but it kind of makes me a bit worried…”
“Indeed, Planta, what is that? I had never seen you create such a tree before, it has an incredible amount of power, almost in comparison to the Tree of Beginnings…” Titania said.
“R-Really?” I asked. 𝒷𝓭ℴ𝓋𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
“Yeah! It has the same aura, if not even more comfortable than the Tree of Beginnings…” Sai Acorn. “I don’t know why but it feels like it makes me want to take a nap near it.”
“It feels especially well for us fairies…” Nieve pointed out. “Though with so much spiritual essence around, its hard to properly control my ice magic without letting it go out of control…”
“Feels comfy!” Florie said.
“Well…”
I quickly decided to explain to them what it truly was, alongside telling them how a Hamadryad worked. Apparently, Titania and the fairies seemed very surprised.
“So that’s why Hamadryads are so important, I had not much knowledge about it as I would had wished to have, but it seems you can truly expand the forest across the continent, and quite possibly fill it with nature… But it all depends on if we can properly purify the Miasma around here. There’s still some lingering miasma and Miasmic Monsters in the forest, especially in the underground.” She said.
“Underground?” Titan asked. “The Forest of Beginnings has a hidden underground map?!”
It seems we were about to go into our next quest.
