章 4: First job

Alex didn't know exactly when it happened, but he was now able to choose his first job. He was sad that he wasn't able to practice blacksmithing to gain the job, but he looked at the three options, apprentice Mage, apprentice martial artist, and hatchling draconian warrior. Alex figured that the apprentice Mage option would help his Devils magic, and possibly some other magic systems in the world. The apprentice martial artist was self explanatory, and would probably give a giant boost to his general strength and martial arts capabilities.

The hatchling draconian warrior was what caught Alex's eye though. He figured the hatchling was the dragon version of apprentice, and the draconian warrior would refer to him training his dragon abilities.

Suddenly his mother was calling him to go home. Alex figured it would be best to choose his job at home in case there was any complications. So he went home with his mother, telling her about his "new friend". After dinner and a quick bath, Alex was back in his room with barriers placed to warn him of any interruptions. Though he wasn't too skilled in magic yet, he was able to at least place barriers to alarm him when someone was coming. He looked at the three options again.

Alex was leaning towards hatchling draconian warrior due to him specially training his boosted gear, but he didn't know what that would entail specifically compared to the other two. Eventually he decided to bite the bullet, and chose hatchling draconian warrior. A moment after choosing the option, a notification dinged in his head.

[NOTICE!! Strength increase, defense increase; added skills dragons breath and dragons scales.]

Alex looked at his system to see the changes, minus the stats.

Alex was excited for a second, and focused inside of himself. A moment later he slowly breathed out and a small amount of flames left his mouth. He made sure that he didn't get carried away since he was in his house, but Alex was excited in his heart. Ddraig suddenly spoke up as well.

<Impressive, so this is how that job system of yours works? Normally you would have to do some intense training to be able to do that.> Lauren soon spoke up as well, even though she rarely talked to him.

'Indeed, I wasn't sure about this job system at first, but it seems like it was a good choice.' Alex was also glad at the dragon scales ability. Not long after waking, Ddraig informed Alex that he should never use both the super Saiyan transformation and the boosted gear simultaneously. Both abilities were designed to forcibly increase his power, but when adding them together it would overpower and destroy his body. With the scales though, he would have a type of armor even when he didn't use the balance breaker.

As Alex thought about the scales, a red layer of them formed on his body. Alex marveled at how his body became reptilian, before he willed it away. The only problem was that it would be hard to train in the future do to how much it stood out.

After he practiced a bit with his new abilities, Alex moved on to an ongoing project. One way he wished to train was with increased gravity like Goku and Vegeta, however he didn't have Bulma to make him a nice training room. So he could only rely on the flexibility of the Devils magic. This was one of the few things Lauren came out for, as he needed her help to figure out how to make this formation work. He needed to increase the gravity of his room, but needed to do so without risking destroying the house.

After thinking for several moments, a magic circle expanded from below him. Alex could feel the downward strain on his body getting stronger as he increased the gravity within the circle. However, a moment later he heard something groan and a small crack formed on the ceiling. Alex quickly let go of the magic, and swiftly leapt into bed when his barriers alerted him to someone coming.

His mother opened his door, and looked into the room with a worried look. She thought she heard the house groaning, and was worried about it collapsing or something. When she looked into Alex's room, his lights were out and he was sleeping soundly in his bed. At her opening the door, Alex sat up and looked over at her while rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"What's going on mommy?" She just smiled, and said softly,

"Nothing baby, I just came to check on you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight mommy." As she left Alex let out a sigh of relief. He really needed to find his own place to practice soon. He thought about the mountainsides not far from his house, and wondered if he might be able to make a hideout there. He amused himself with using his dragons scales ability for a while before finally going to sleep.
