Chapter 55: Two Days Later
Lake could hear an undead in the next tunnel over. "Joy after the next one we can head back up. The other day after he maxed out Alchemist he realized he had been neglecting to level up thief and he had spent as much time down here as he could ever since. It seemed that it took a lot more time to level up combat jobs than production jobs because you actually had to find stuff to kill.
Lake realized this was not completely accurate since he was in the Alchemist guild and they just gave him everything he needed. For most people they would have had to pick things to brew into potions so it would take longer for them. With the amount of changes that had been made to Thief Lake was expecting two more Unique skills.
He wanted to go ahead and get them now so he could go ahead and start planning his escape. Lake had noticed a sinister undertone here in the guild, and he didn't want to stick around to experience what he was expecting to happen. He needed to start his career as a criminal soon anyway.
He was in the capital and as soon as he escaped the guild he would be in the crime capital if you caught his drift. Earlier Lake had read a book that told him Thief wasn't the only criminal job, so he had lots to look forward to in the coming days. The Intangible Loot drought had also ended finally but nothing special had happened. Lake was pretty sure he had just been getting unlucky up until now. Another interesting thing was Lucas had almost promoted him straight to master after the three of them had told him their idea for earning the guild more money.
Lake chuckled a little remembering the reason no one had thought of it before was because restaurants didn't really exist. There were only a few places that sold cooked food other than bars and they were usually carts set up on the street, so Millie wasn't really even going to have any competition she was going to have to beat.
She would have done so easily, but this sped up the process. Speaking of Millie she had told him to come by for lunch today which was something he already planned to do but he guessed it was because the cheese was up and running. "Hey Joy, do you want to come by and have lunch with us today?" The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
Joy had been very helpful the whole time he had known her but he had yet to see her face. Lake wasn't usually the type to care about other people but the mystery was killing him. The only way he could think of that would make her take her helmet off was if she was eating. "I can only leave my post if you order me."
Lake caught on to what she meant. She was telling him she wanted to but he had to tell her to do it or she would get into trouble. "Joy, come eat lunch with me today." Lake liked it when people used rules to their advantage instead of just breaking them. It showed intelligence which wasn't surprising considering Joy's was pretty high for someone who swung a sword.
Getting to the undead he had heard earlier Lake raised his sword this kill should be enough for him to hit level ten in Thief, and if it wasn't he would just take a different path back to the exit. Either way he was about to receive two new skills for his main class. Lake rushed forward and said. "Imbue Fire."
The undead fell to the ground split in two with fire spreading to cover it. This was his favorite thing that he had learned here. Lake had told Lucas he was about to max Alchemist the other day and asked how he could unlock Enchanter, and Lucas had told him the best way was to cover your weapon with magic until it worked.
It also had the added bonus of allowing Lake to kill undead with a sword. After a few seconds of the undead burning it finally died and Lake got the [Level up] he had been waiting for. It wasn't the level max because he could get all the way to level 100 on Thief for whatever reason.
...
"Alright, are you going to come with me now, or come later when it's lunch time?" Lake had just stepped onto the elevator and wanted to ask before he started to go up. "It's better not to push it, I'll see you later." He gave her a thumbs up, and told the elevator to go towards Lucas's office.
With cheese on the brain Lake tried to just head straight up stairs. He wanted to change and see what his new skills did but Lucas stopped him. "I need to talk to you about something." Lake stopped to see he wasn't the only person in Lucas's office. "Lake, this is a royal messenger. The king just sent me a letter saying he was willing to ok the restaurants if we show him what we'll be serving. I want you to tell Millie to come and talk to me later. We need to plan a party."
"Ok I'll tell her. Oh and I invited a guard up here so if you see one come up the elevator let them through." Lucas had already started to treat him better since the restaurant idea. It was a similar situation to what had happened with Wallace in corn town. "One more thing, your badge is ready, it will be here tomorrow."
Charisma 11
Free stat points: 17
Before Lake even checked his skills he saw that his Charisma had broken 10 without him realizing it. This meant he actually had three new skills. This made up for the fact that to level up Thief again he was going to have to earn over 5000 Exp.
He also saw that if he wanted to he could use his free points to make his Perception hit 100. Lake didn't do it though Perception would hit 100 on its own eventually. He was more worried about his lower stats than his high ones.
Treasured (U) Lv.1
Able to identify and locate someone's most valued item, person, and place.
Trespasser (U) Lv.1
Magic can't be used to locate, or sense you.
Lake didn't think Treasured was that useful but Trespasser was top grade. Lake had always been afraid of getting caught after he stole something because of magic. The only thing was they might be able to track the item he stole still, so in the future he needed to sell anything he stole fast, or hide it for awhile before he used it.
If it was still there when he came back that meant it couldn't be tracked. Lake also thought he might be able to tell if something was being tracked using some of his skills from Appraiser. Lake just needed to be careful and not forget to check anything he took. After thinking about these two Lake moved on to the skill he got from Charisma reaching 10.
Spill Your Guts (U) Lv.1
Inflict a truth curse that causes your target to answer your questions.
If they lie or don't answer a third of their health is lost.
(Can be resisted if the target's Charisma is higher than yours.)
This skill made Lake think of two people. The Demon Lord and the person who had told him about the Demon Lord. The Temple Head had said the Demon Lord focused on Charisma. Lake bet he had done so not because he wanted to but because he had gotten a really good skill that let him control people as long as his Charisma was higher.
The Temple Head had told Lake no one really ever used Charisma, so it was pretty easy to have a higher Charisma. Even if yours was only 20 you had a good chance of out classing someone. That being said, Lake had no interest in using this skill; he liked to just read people the old fashioned way, and making them just tell you stuff was boring.
He was also pretty sure cursing someone was an attack so not something he could just go around doing to people. Lake also had another reason not to use it: the U wasn't golden, it was Blood red and Lake could only think of one god that would make a skill like this. Well technically not a god yet but Lake knew it was possible to get jobs made by the demon Lord, so why not Skills?
Lake didn't know why it was Unique though, He hoped it wasn't special just for him because that would mean the Demon Lord was already watching him. "Sir, here are the new clothes we got you. We tried to get more stuff you would like." Lake turned around to see they had done a good job because he would wear all the new clothes they had brought.
