[Apprentice Spirit Caster], [Apprentice Farmer], [Botanist], [Life Spirit Mage], [Spiritual Half-Demon], [Gray Wizard], [Hollow Life Specter], [Summoner], [Magic Cannoneer], [Telekinetic Fighter], [Spiritual Alchemist] (New!), [Mana Crafter] (New!)

As Ervas glanced at his available Job options, two new jobs appeared reflecting his use of Alchemy and Crafting Skills. It seems that he had become good enough to unlock special Jobs related to Spirits and Mana.

When working together alongside Veronica, Ervas was capable of creating incredibly good equipment infused with large amounts of Mana and great endurance. Due to Veronica's armor components being capable of storing Mana, they were great for almost any type of fighter, be it mage or warrior, and by infusing basic spells such as Strength Enhancement from the No-Attribute Magic Spells, the wearer of such equipment would become even stronger by just wearing the armor piece.

"Mana Crafter was probably because of infusing mana into my crafting and spells… and Spiritual Alchemist… because I infuse Spirit Magic Spells into magic items as well? Well, I use both Alchemy and Crafting together, so I often think that they're the same thing, but I suppose they're still separate categories," considered Ervas.

Because Ervas was planning on taking his time while developing his abilities, he considered the idea of picking an Apprentice Job, which could be leveled quite fast.

However, abusing Apprentice Jobs was not recommended and was not a conventional strategy. This is because those that constantly changed into those Jobs would become 'lack of all trades, and master of none' and would end up with often mediocre Jobs options afterward. Specializing was always the best option in any of an adventurer's mind…

But Ervas and Veronica were different. Although the system they possessed was remarkably similar that the one in Kritias, it was also different. Veronica was able to get Jobs despite being a monster, and Ervas was capable of Ranking Up despite being a Half-Demon, an intelligent race not considered a monster.

The Samsara system was also different in regards to Jobs, although it was similar to Kritias… it also had a lot of differences. New and stranger Jobs would appear more easily and… Apprentice Jobs did not negatively impact an individual if overused.

It would bring even better Jobs without many restrictions, the Samsara System seemed ideal to create jack of all trades and masters of all… however, even with such possibility, one would still lead to a certain specialization, but way broader than in Kritias's conventional adventurers.

Perhaps this imbalance was something that the entity that created the Samsara System slipped off his grasp, and it was the work of his 'beta testers' to find this 'bug'.

But how were Veronica and Ervas even capable of telling him 'hey, this bug let us grow stronger even faster'…

"Well, we can't even communicate with that guy, I don't even know his name," thought Ervas.

Because Ervas desired the further strengthening of his plants, which some of them had recently become Rank 4, he selected 'Apprentice Farmer'.

Farmers were not just the people that tended the crops but we're also experts in plants, Ervas knew that it would bring a quick strengthening of his plants and also would be easy to level up to gain some extra stats. Perhaps in one or two days, he would be able to change Jobs again.

[You have Changed Jobs to [Apprentice Farmer]!]

[You acquired the [Farming; Level 1] Skill!]

[The [Farming; Level 1] Skill has been integrated into the [Botanist; Level 3] Skill!]

[The level of the [Botanist; Level 3] Skill has increased!]

"Oh, so the Botanist Skill is similar to Farming…" thought Ervas.

Ding!

"Hm?"

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[Individual 'Job' has increased from level 1 to level 100!]

"…Eh?"

It seems that the Apprentice Farmer Job leveled by actions that Ervas had already performed, or was currently performing which quickly filled the experience needed to reach the max level.

"Is it because I am in control of high ranked plant-type monsters? Or maybe the Botanist Skill being Level 4… Exceeding what an 'Apprentice Farmer' should know. Anyways, I suppose I will check the jobs again…"

Ervas was a bit surprised but somehow understood how Jobs worked, if one obtained an 'Apprentice Farmer' job, it would level up by attending plants, taking care of them, and making them grow strong, the same as someone with a Crafter Job would level up by crafting.

The truth of the Apprentice Farmer job leveling up to level 100 was, however, because Ervas was unconsciously nourishing all of his plants, and those in the vicinity in a radius of several meters constantly, which was considered as 'farming' by the system, hence the massive level ups, as he was naturally nourishing hundreds of plants aside from his main monster plants.

This method was created when he learned how to train his Mana by transferring it and then taking it away in a constant and endless cycle. When his Mana pool increased exponentially after opening the Void of his soul, this action became even greater. Not only the plants, but most of the people in the tribe were also being 'nourished' by Ervas.

[Apprentice Spirit Caster], [Botanist], [Life Spirit Mage], [Spiritual Half-Demon], [Gray Wizard], [Hollow Life Specter], [Summoner], [Magic Cannoneer], [Telekinetic Fighter], [Spiritual Alchemist], [Mana Crafter], [Life Demon Druid] (New!)

"A Druid Job… well, it is fitting, but I will choose 'Apprentice Spirit Caster' for now…"

[You have changed Jobs to [Apprentice Spirit Caster]!]

[The Level of the [Spirit Magic; Level 3] Skill has increased!]

"It seems that I didn't automatically max my level… but it still increasing slowly…" analyzed Ervas.

Just like Apprentice Farmer, Apprentice Spirit caster leveled up by using Spirit Magic. Which Ervas did constantly in the same fashion as he nourished plants, as he needed to use Gaia's help for it, and she was a Spirit. Ervas was performing automatic Spirit Magic Spells constantly.

"Perhaps I will wake up with the Job already at max level," thought Ervas, moving on to his Ranking Up.

Unlike Job Change, Ranking Up was not as ambiguous and required the proper acquisition of Experience Points through killing monsters… and well, any other living being, but a monster of higher Rank would most of the time give higher Experience Points amounts than killing bugs.

[Evolution Options]

[Void Soul Specter Half-Demon], [Psychic Mind Half-Demon]

"The two seem like very strange options," thought Ervas, deciding to check both through 'Appraisal'.

[Void Soul Specter Half-Demon]

An evolution unlocked by a Hollow Mana Half-Demon after opening the endless Void on its soul. Harboring such a void, the soul stops being but a normal soul and slowly mutates into a specter.

This evolution option strengthens the 'Soul Void' Skill and grants the 'Soul Materialization', 'Phantom Form', and 'Phantom Materialization' Skills.

This species specializes in magic and mana.

[Psychic Mind Half-Demon]

An evolution unlocked by a Hollow Mana Half-Demon after awakening its mental capabilities and learning how to use Mana to exude mind powers in excess. The user has become a creature that dwells and feeds into the mind of others.

This evolution option strengthens the 'Mind Encroachment' and 'No-Attribute Magic' Skills and grants the 'Mind Attack' Skill.

This species specializes in magic and mana.

Ervas considered both options with care, but he knew that strengthening his soul and obtaining abilities similar to Veronica was the path towards being capable of destroying souls, which he needed to learn to acquire the 'Soul Break' Skill, according to Veronica.

Ervas wondered how the 'Soul Break' skill was never discovered before if its requirements were as simple as Veronica said. But perhaps there was needed something else than what she said, something deep within her soul that made her different than others… was Ervas even capable of doing as she did and acquire that skill? He only expected for it to be possible.

Perhaps Qadall, The God of Death and Souls was the only being that could break souls aside from Veronica due to his divine authority that ruled over souls and death. But because Gods did not possess the System, the ability to 'break the soul' was never obtained as a skill.

Ding!

[You have Ranked up to a Rank 4; [Void Soul Specter Half-Demon]!]

[The Level of the [Soul Void; Level 2] Skill has increased!]

[You acquired the [Soul Materialization; Level 1], [Phantom Form; Level 1], and [Phantom Materialization; Level 1] Skills!]

Ervas body barely changed its appearance, but his horn seemed to have turned completely white.

"I was already capable of materializing my soul to an extent, and to create and mildly materialize my phantom form… but I suppose I needed the little push given by Ranking Up to finally acquire the skills, my soul does feel rather vigorous," thought Ervas, as he began to immediately multi-task, practicing his soul and phantom materialization and manipulation.

Veronica, who was learning from Ervas, was also practicing this 'multi-tasking' taught to her by him. By abusing 'Memory Retention' and infusing its effects and 'memories' into one's body, it was possible to do automatic actions without willing them, using the 'subconscious'. But Veronica did not have flesh or muscles to place such automatic memories and actions, and her armor didn't seem to easily store them. She was relying on her soul most of the time, unlike Ervas who also used his brain and other muscles of his body to do automatic tasks.

"Hm, maybe I need to change Jobs and Rank Up to finally learn this damned 'Parallel Thought Processing'…" thought Veronica, as she sat down outside of the tent while everyone else was already sleeping. Due to being an Undead without flesh, she did not feel physically tired and barely needed any rest, she would spend the night's star gazing while practicing her shapeshifting and other abilities with Aqua.

She decided to finally change Jobs, glancing at her available options.
