He had finally done it, he reached level 5. Anxious for some weird reason, he quickly summoned his Status once again. He quickly there his Stat point into STR, after all, he was so lacking in attributes that his build really didn't matter.

"I can choose an occupation? That a job pretty much right? I'll [Inspect] this first." The skeleton moved his gaze back to the mutilated goblins. They had already begun getting absorbed into the dungeon. It was very creepy no matter how many times he saw it. Since his sword still dripping with blood, he used their skin to wipe it off before quickly retreating onto a ledge in the nearby wide cavern.
Now that he could relax, James quickly commanded for the Occupation selection to begin. Immediately a smaller screen popped up in front of him.
____
- Swordsman
- Fighter
- Archer
- Magic-swordsmen (extra)

Immediately, James knew what he had to choose. His Mana fullness told him he could go the wizard route, yet he never felt like his body wouldn't have been able to permit it, especially since it took Mana just to move normally. Not wanting to dilly-dally any longer, James used [Inspect] on the Magic-swordsman.
[[Magic-swardsman] is a combat occupation that allows for great synchronization of Magic and Swordsmanship. It combines the bonuses of both the Wizard and Swordsman jobs, albeit with a little downgrade. Regularly they would provide a 20% affinity to their respective skills (XP and chance of learning), but now an overall affinity of 15% is provided. The extra stat gain is also increased from either a +1 in STR and AGI for Swordsman and a +2 SPT (regularly WIS and INT) for Wizard to simply receiving both.]
"Fuck yes! Receive the new Occupation!"
[Confirmed.]
[Error!]
[Override detected.]
[Override accepted.]
[Upgrading Occupation!]
At that moment, James lost his consciousness. This had been the first time that he had slept since becoming a skeleton. Soon he found himself again, but it was different, it was strange. The body he inhabited was more like that of a human yet not quite. Horns and some other protrusions could be seen, not to mention that he had four arms. He wasn't really in the body however, he could feel it, but his perspective was that of an imaginary point in front of the body.
His out of body experience continued as his body suddenly began moving. It opened its eyes which had golden, lizard-like pupils. His body unsheathed a sword, a sword that he could faintly recognize as his current one. It brought up the sword to its eyes and clasped its hands on the hilt. Slowly the sword split into 4 exact copies, each of them flashing in various colours. The body made a small movement and started to say something, something...
"Puhaaa! Fucknugget!" James could feel his whole body itch, a feeling he shouldn't have been able to feel. He could still remember his dream or vision, whatever it was. He felt like the four-armed monster was him. The magical movements of the swords made him want to doubt it however.
[Inheritance has been synced. The Sword of Eternity has been awakened.]
"Uhh... Yay! I guess..."
[You have received your new occupation: [Eternal Swordsman (novice)]
[Your new stat gain per level is: +1 STR, +1 End, +1 AGI, +1 SPT, +2 Free Points]
[Your new point gain per level is: +5 HP, +4 MP]
[Recalabrating old stats...]
[Recalabration complete, please view your status now.]
"Status!" shouted the skeleton, eager to see his growth.

"Holy fuck! This is way too much."
Still in awe at his improvements, James started moving around the cave to try out the stats. His swings were sharper, his movements faster and his mind clearer. Not wanting to dilly-dally, James quickly distributed his free points. 1 into STR, 2 in END and AGI. He decided to leave his SPT stat as it was since its improvements haven't given him much returns.
He felt strong now. Nothing in the Dungeon could threaten him anymore, except... except for that altar.
The mystery surrounding it had kept him wary, but now that he was strong he threw caution to the wind. James turned and quickly made his way towards it. He wanted to prove himself, to show that he had conquered this stage.
The altar entered his sight and he sped up, his sword at the ready.
The altar which he had only glanced briefly upon before, was beautifully made. Simple and made of stone. Red symbols were shining on its surface, blinking.
He took a breath and stepped on it.
Nothing happened. It was complete and utter silence.
"Huh, that was anticlimatic."
The moment that the words had left his mouth the altar activated. The symbols filled with light. James tried to escape, but he couldn't move.
Then he felt an extreme pull and blackness overcame him.
Hi, so yeah, this is going to be one of those OP protagonists. Why? Cuz they are simple to write and since I have an abysmal amount of writing experience I wanted to finish at least something.
Also, I probably f-ed up the math in this chap(pls correct me).
And one more thing, next week I'm writing like 10 tests so yeah, don't expect much.
