Bab 9: Magician Apprentice
I clicked on "Change available," and a new window promptly appeared, displaying:
»Available changes: Magician Apprentice.«
Intrigued, I selected "Magician Apprentice" to gather more information. The details revealed a detailed description of the job:
Magician Apprentice: available after reading a whole magic book.
Effects:
1. Reduces Mana consumption by 60% for training spells without a target or use.
2. 90% probability of learning a new spell after understanding it. Spells can be learned by reading or observing.
3. Grants the effect of 'quick memory,' enhancing reading and learning speed from books.
"That's even better than my current job," I thought, impressed. I didn't hesitate and clicked on "Job Change."
»Job change from 'Librarian' to 'Magician Apprentice.' Status effects activated.«
"Wonderful! Now I just have to wait until the sun rises again, and I can learn my first spell!" I exclaimed after realizing what just happened. "This job should speed up my whole process of becoming a magician and make it a lot easier for me."
»You unlocked a new passive skill! Skill was directly activated.«
At the same moment I heard the message, my vision changed. A three-meter radius around me lit up, illuminating the previously dark surroundings. It was as if someone had suddenly switched on a powerful lamp directly above my head. The once murky darkness transformed into a clear, well-defined space, revealing every corner and detail within the close area. The strange thing was that nothing had a shadow in this area. I was confused about what happened so I cast the command [stats] to check my new status:
Name: Valerius Corvin
Age: 15
Job: Magician Apprentice {Librarian}
Level: 1
XP: 1/100
Strength: 10
Defense: 5
Agility: 7
Intelligence: 4
Charisma: 5
Mana: 30/30
Skills:
| Passive: System, Time Shield, All Languages, Night Vision, ???
| Active: ???
Spells: ???
Upon reviewing my status, I discovered not only my new job but also a 10-point increase in my Mana capacity and the additional skill "Night vision." Although familiar with its function, it may be different here than on Earth, so I clicked on it for clarification:
Night vision
Definition: Night vision is the ability to see in low-light or dark conditions.
Level: 1
Range: 3m
"Wow, that was more detailed than usual. System, what happened to you?" I inquired, bewildered.
»I updated myself to the newest version to assist you more efficiently«
I reacted with a blend of amazement and surprise, "Even you can receive updates? That's awesome!"
Deep in thought, I realized something else. "Wait, does that mean everyone in this world has the skill night vision?"
»No, you possess a special talent for acquiring new and sometimes unique skills or spells. You gained this ability from your old god, you could be considered as a unique skill, although others may also possess it.«
"That would make sense. I'm already overpowered with my job boosts and additional skills, even though I've only been in this world for two days," I grinned. Another question began to form in my mind: "Do all individuals in this world receive job boosts like I do, and how do they choose their jobs?"
»Yes and no. Others do not receive the same job boosts as you do, and they require significantly more time to unlock them. They cannot change their jobs as freely as you can. Once a job is unlocked, it becomes instantly activated and can only be changed after engaging in a different occupation for an extended period. For example, if someone unlocks the librarian job due to long hours spent in a library ordering books, that becomes their job. Should they transition to studying magic, their job would change after a long period of magical study.«
"Interesting," I murmured, absorbing the information. "So, my ability to change jobs swiftly gives me a unique advantage in this world."
As I pondered further, a flashback pulled me back into my life as a 15-year-old boy back on Earth.
In that memory, I found myself once again facing a group of boys my age, their mocking laughter echoing in my ears. They taunted me for not being good enough.
I remembered the sting of their words. I could also feel the pain in my whole body after getting hit. It was a painful reminder of the struggles I faced in trying to find my place in the world, of the relentless pressure. It was a difficult time. Two weeks before that, my mother died, leaving me as the last surviving family member.
But as the memory played out before me, something inside me shifted. No longer was I that insecure boy seeking validation from others. Now, in a different world armed with my possibilities, talent, and newfound skills, I saw things differently.
With a steady voice, I spoke up, challenging their narrow-mindedness and standing up for myself with a newfound sense of self-assurance. And as I did, I felt a sense of empowerment wash over me, a strength born from within that no amount of ridicule could shake.
In that moment, I realized that true strength doesn't come from conforming to others' expectations or from seeking validation from external sources. It comes from understanding who you are, with all your mistakes but also with all the skills you have. It's about having the courage to stand up for what you believe in, no matter the odds.
And as the memory faded and I returned to the present, I carried with me a renewed sense of purpose and determination. No longer would I allow myself to be defined by the judgments of others. Instead, I would forge my path, guided by my inner strength and the knowledge that I was more than enough just as I am.
I would change the world if needed.
