Transfomation Skill

Lothar was Inspecting his new Skills and their descriptions. He was wondering why the system's voice pronounced the (You have completed THIS yellow Rifts training courses) like there were more than just one yellow Rift to complete. But soon he just focused on his Skills and understood how he attained them. He was really happy about the Stealth skill that he gained because this skill was extremely rare before reaching the advanced classes. But what are the Disguise and Transformation Skills for? He had an idea but could only figure it out at another time."Leave."

Meanwhile, inside the Guild a group of young Rifters entered the Guildhall and was proceeding to the resting area to grab some drinks, in the front was a blond boy wearing a 2-handed longsword on his back. "Astrid, what do you want to drink, it is on me today," the blond boy asked the girl next to him. "Just the usual, thank you" The boy's name was Rengo, he and Astrid were very close to each other they are childhood friends who always stayed together and are still doing so. The resting area of the Guild was more or less like a pub, but only for Guild members.

With them where a boy who whore a hood with a mask that covered his mouth and nose. He had a bow on his back and seemed to be a Scout. Next to him was a young red-haired girl wearing a very thin silk robe. Everyone was able to see through her closes and have a look at her alluring undergarment and body features. She seemed to be a Mage. They were siblings named Dogan and Shelly they come from a luxurious family and are looking down on everyone who is not at least as rich or strong as them. Since Rengo and Astrid are a powerful team they coincidently perfectly ad to them so they could build a whole raid group of 4, and they joined together.

"Tomorrow we will be able to challenge the 3 Floor of the training tower. After that, we can finally join the Rift expeditions of the Guild and enter the dungeons." Rengo said as he walked back to their table. All of them spent only 35 days inside the Class change training courses except for Rengo, he was able to finish in 29 days, which shows just how talented he is. "Or Guild is one of the strongest in Westalon I wonder how long it will take to enter the top raiding groups," Dogan exclaimed. "Don't worry Dogan our combination is getting better and better, it won't be long since they will notice us," Rengo said.

Suddenly the door to the resting area opened and a young black haired boy entered. He had very defined muscles and his skin was very bright. He then walked over to a table and waited for the service girl to come to his table. He ordered a lot of meat in a lot of various ways and something to drink. When everything was served he began to eat, he was enjoying this meal very much he was eating as if he was starving for a few days.

"Look how much that guy is eating over there, impressive. He looks quite familiar, does anyone recognize him?" Rengo asked his teammates, but no one seems to recognize him either. The closes that person was wearing were all very tattered and his hair was a total mess, he even grew a small beard on his chin area. As he finished eating he paid and left for his room. When he left Rengo could see a mark on that person's arm that he had seen somewhere before. "Hmm, could it be that it is that trash?" Rengo said. "Whom do you mean Rengo?" Astrid asked in astonishment. "Lothar. I think I saw his burn mark on his arm." He answered.

They all looked in the direction that the person left. "How long has it been since he entered the yellow Rift??" Astrid asked. Rengo began to laugh and answered, "It has been 66 days already, I was keeping count since I wanted to ridicule him again. What utter trash he is. Have you ever heard of someone staying in there for 66 days? That is a new record." All of his teammates joined in on laughing about Lothar and began to ridicule him... "Your right, record for being slowest trash that exists.", "I wonder which Class he chose.", "Doesn't matter have you seen his status at the examination, no wonder it took him so long.", "There were even people who wanted to declare that he died." They continued this for a long while until they finally left the pub to head to their rooms.

The Guild Lothar is staying in is named Demonhunters. It is one of the big 3 Guilds of Wetalon among them are the Excavators and the Creators of Hope Guild. Lothar was not familiar with any of the Guilds when he came to Westalon but chose to join Demonhunters since their leader swore to avenge the lost lives of Mennig, Lothar's hometown. That alone was enough for him to join them. While Demonhunters focus on forming raiding groups the other 2 Guilds specialize in excavation and creation.

The Excavators as the name may suggest specializing in gaining profit out of the Rifts. Inside the Rifts unimaginable things can happen, every dungeon is different from the one before, sometimes there are rich Manastone veins inside a dungeon, and sometimes there are herbs and rare plants that are good for making Medicine or potions out of them, there where even dungeons were pure gold could be excavated from the walls.

The Creators of Hope is a Guild that specializes in creating weapons, armor, clothes, magic tools and equipment. They work closely together with the Excavators and exchange rare materials for weapons and stuff. They also often hold auctions and monopolize the market price of most of the equipment. They are more or less the Guild with the highest standing in Westalon.

After a dungeon is finished and a portal to another world opens the Guilds would then hand over the rights to the Rifter Association. The Rifter Association is an alliance of all nations on Earth that want to protect humanity. They send their agents into the other worlds for negotiation and forming new partnerships. After the Blackening and appearance of the Rifts, all living beings that we're able to speak could understand each other. This was also a big help in subduing all the wars that took place on earth before.

Back in the Demonhunter Guild, Lothar was in his dorm room and sat down on his bed after he took a long relaxing bath. He also took care of his appearance. He cut his hair and trimmed his beard so it was not as unsightly as before. He took a liking to it so he decided to let it grow again. He then examined his body in a mirror. He was not skinny and pale anymore. His skin was just bright but he had much more liveliness in his face and his skinny body is now filled with strong looking defined muscles.

As he sat there he was trying out his new Skills. The first thing he tried was Disguise Lvl 1. He was astonished to see that he was able to alter everything. He could Change his Name, his Class, his Stats, his Skills, simply everything. He also could camouflage the Curse to None so that he could hide everything. He was wondering if this is to prevent others from finding out about this hidden class or if there was a deeper meaning to it.

Next was Transformation Lvl 1. After activating the Skill a menu opened before his eyes. Lothar was strolling down the menu as he found something he could not believe.

"When did I touch a Dragon? And why are some of the races clinched? Let's give it a try." He walked to a mirror again and then chose Demon. After a short blink of the eyes, he changed. His skin became gray like his nails turned black his eyes fiery red. As he saw himself he felt a burning rage coming from deep within and he smashed the mirror into pieces. "It seems like I can not stand the appearance of a Demon. Ok, what's next."

He then chose, cat. And in the blink of an eye, his body shrunk. His vision changed completely and he was now able to see further into the distance. "Hmm does that mean I can copy the abilities of that race I change into?" As he said that he noticed he could speak while still being in cat form. "This is interesting. Hmm, how to move on 4 legs and having a tail is new to me. Better get used to it soon, but where should I do this without being seen."

He turned back to Human and laid down on his bed. His raized his hand into the air and clenched it to a fist. "I am not weak anymore, Father, Mother, Lilly." He said those things as if he was sending a message into heaven. Before he finally fell to sleep and took complete rest for the first time in a long while he was thinking about where he should try out the transformations and train to control them.

The next day Rengo and his group were waiting outside of the Guild, the wanted to have some fun with Lothar. Rengo was hating Lothar from the bottom of his heart. Rengo's father a high ranking member of the Guild was punished by the Guildmaster for offending Lothar. Rengo's father was talking bad about the people of Mennig and how they were simply too weak and could do nothing about the Demon attack. When Lothar heard this he snapped and started to attack Rengo's father. Naturally, Lothar was no match for him and even got burned on his arm by a fire attack that Rengo's father used.

The Guildmaster was a close friend of Lothar's parents and the reason Lothar was accepted into the Guild even though he was very weak was that the Guildmaster wanted to give him an opportunity in life. For his actions, Rengo's father was brutally beaten and humiliated in front of the whole Guild. Rengo never forgot about what happened and was aiming to pay Lothar back for what he did to his father.

They were waiting the whole morning but Lothar was simply not coming out, so they went to his room to look for him. To their surprise the room was empty the could not find Lothar. "When did he leave? I told you to stand guard here, how did he leave the Building?" Rengo asked Dogan. "I was standing here since last night when we left the bar. I even heard him inside a few times, he must be here." They argued with each other and nearly ended up fighting. Rengo wanted to have his fun trash-talking about Lothar and insulting him, it has been a bit more than 2 months already since he last did that to him.

Meanwhile, in an ally not far away from the Guild a cat watched Rengo and his group till they finally left and headed inside the Guild. After they left the cat transformed into a Human. Naturally, it was Lothar, who was having a smile on his face. "This is more fun than I thought. Next time I will turn into a dog and pee on his leg." Lothar then headed to the nearest subway station, he came up with a place where he could try out all of his new Transformations but he needed to head to another district of Westalon for that.

After using the subway and arriving in the northern parts of Westalon Lothar walked to the market and bought new provisions. His food supplies were nearly empty so he needed to refill it. After that, he bought a lot of materials and stored them inside his Inventory. The northern parts of Westalon are mainly in control of the Guild called Creators of Hope. Because here is the white Rift that allows you to enter a private space where you can change your Job and train your profession. Inside this white Rift, he would not be disturbed when he tries to train to move in his transformed body.
