'Damn that firewall! I had to put an after effect for using the hidden attribute because of that shitty firewall.'
Brian was feeling an insane pain in his heart as if his heart was clenched by someone. But, it was only for five seconds. After five seconds, it stopped. Warlocks are supposed to have dark magic. That's the whole point of being a warlock.
But, that stupid firewall didn't allow him to create a warlock class because this class was too overpowered. Mages aren't supposed to use mana to enhance their physical strength or even have mastery over certain magic.
But, Warlock had both. Just like the Bookworm Class, he had to find a way to balance its power and weaknesses.
'Unfortunately, I can't create a dark magic skill, or else I could use the dark mana without any problem. But then again, this just allows me to learn more than dark magic. I can become a mage as well except for Light Magic since they can't just exist together.'
'But, having too many skills isn't always useful. I need to find the perfect skill for a certain situation. I wonder if they have launched Hidden Class in the New Gods yet.'
While Brian was busy thinking, a new panel appeared in front of him and everyone else.
[Congratulation on completing the quest]
[You received 500XP, 200 God's Coins, Five Healing Potions, and a skill.]
'Oh! It is actually a skill. Since I am focused on mana, it should be related to mana. But, if it is related to Dark Magic, then it would be even better. Let's see what kind of skill it might be.'
Saying so, he opened inventory and clicked on new skills.
[Skill- Slaughtering Crows
Type- Summoning
Mana Consumption- 5
Description- Using the dark magic, Host can summon the crows of the Netherworld. These crows have the deadliest poison all over their bodies and just a single touch is enough to kill a person.
Number of Crows- 5 MP (3 Crows), 10 MP (6 Crows), 20 MP (9 Crows)]
'Whoa! I definitely didn't expect to get this skill.' Looking at the skill, Brian was left stunned there for a moment.
Slaughtering Crows was one of the deadliest skills of a warlock. This skill belongs to the summoning type where a warlock needs to form a teleportation circle using his dark magic. It connects this world to the Netherworld where the dead souls and true devils reside.
Among them, Dark Eyes Crows are the deadliest for their poisonous bodies. This is kind of an evolutionary skill. The stronger he gets, the more powerful crows he can summon.
'Nice, with this skill, I can even go for bigger solo hunts.' Brian was excited to test this new skill but he kept his excitement down as he noticed others moving toward them.
They walked near him and said, "Thank you for joining us, DragonRider97!"
"What are you saying? I should be the one thanking you for inviting me on this quest. The rewards are quite amazing. So, what's your plan now?" Brian asked with a smile on his face.
"We are going to log out after reaching the town. We will come back tomorrow." SilverTongue seemed to be in a hurry.
"Oh! Then, let's try to reach Lv.10 as soon as possible so that we can try Mega-Dungeon. I also have a friend who can join us. With him, there will be another tank." Brian nodded his head as he saw SilverTongue's hurried expression and tried to end the conversation as well.
"Yes, we will do our best. Let's return back to the village!" SilverTongue said while taking a lead towards the village. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Brian was very curious about his life but he can't simply ask about other's personal life. But, just as he followed him, Sherly got closer to him and said "His only goal is to give his sister a good life and heal his mother. That's why he chose Warrior Class."
"Warrior Class doesn't have any direct weakness. He just wanted to get stronger and earn a lot."
Brian was surprised by his story but then he thought again it didn't seem that surprising. From the desperation that SilverTongue showed, it was clear that he had a deep motivation. The motivation of giving his sister a good life and curing his mother is actually good.
"Do you four know each other?"
"Not a lot but we do know each other's identity. Can you tell us your name? Of course, if you don't mind." Sherly asked with a little bit of expectation.
"My name is Brian Jackson. You can call me Brian. So, what about others' names?" Brian didn't mind revealing his real name. After all, all of this was for the sake of getting strength in the real world.
"Davestone is Dave Stone. Tempest's real name is Nolan Kreg. And, SilverTongue's real name is George Dex. George and I are friends. Dave is George's friend but I don't know him a lot. As for Nolan, you can say that we got curious about his class and added to our group."
"From then on, he has been with us. Wait, I shouldn't say from then on, it was just two days ago." Sherly giggled as she introduced everyone else. Just like Brian, nobody cares about sharing their identity unless they really want to hide it.
Brian nodded his head as he got more understanding about them.
"So, where do you live?" Sherly continued to ask which was quite unexpected. Name was a little easy to reveal because there are several other people with the same name but the address was quite awkward.
"Uhh…. I just wanted to ask if we could hang out in the real world as a group. I mean now is the time we should be united." Sherly also noticed his awkwardness and strange gazes from Nolan and Dave. She hurriedly tried to explain but the more she tried, the worse it got.
"Don't give her your home address or she will come to your home!" Dave muttered but his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Sherly's eyebrows twitched as she went near Dave and punched him in his face. As a Barbarian, he didn't even need to block it but still taking a punch to the face was quite unfortunate for him.
"Don't listen to him! He is just talking nonsense." Sherly turned her head at Brian and tried to explain but Brian, Nolan, and George had already left.
"Hey wait! Wait!" Seeing this, she puffed her cheeks and tried to chase them.
After twenty minutes, they finally reached the village. As soon as they reached there, George bid farewell to everyone and left. Nolan also did the same. Everyone logged out of the game as well.
Brian was planning on training but he found it was already good training to level 5 times in a single night. After he came out, he noticed it was already 2:30 in the morning. He decided to take a deep sleep inside the pod.
Next Morning,
"Yawn~ That was a fine night." Brian walked out of the pod while yawning.
"Daddy!" As soon as he walked out, a little girl dashed towards him and jumped into his embrace. Unlike before, he didn't get choked or pushed away.
"Good Morning Brian!" Charlotte greeted him from the kitchen. She was preparing breakfast.
"Good Morning Charlotte! It didn't feel uncomfortable last night, right?" Brian asked.
Hearing his words, Charlotte suddenly blushed while Ely gave her sharp eyes.
"N-no.. It didn't uncomfortable. Ely and I slept soundly. How was your game?" Charlotte shuttered at first but quickly managed to change the topic.
Brian didn't notice her strange tone and answered "It was quite good. I met new people and we also did Party Quest together. And, I also reached Lv.5."
"Wow! Daddy, how did you level up so fast?" Elenor asked with surprise when she heard his level.
"Hehe! Didn't you already know? I was one of the people who created New Gods. I have some tricks of my own." Brian patted her head and answered.
"I know that but I don't understand one thing. When you joined the UMA technical team, you were only a graduate. Why did they make you the head of this project? And, why did they let you leave? Mother told me that people who were involved in this game weren't allowed to leave?" Ely asked with a curious expression.
But her words made Brian feel a little unnatural. He quickly hides it with his smile and says "I will tell you someday. For now, just think that you have inherited your daddy's memory and creative skills."
"Oh… Is that why I am so good at programming?" Elenor's eyes widened and her cheeks puffed out with pride as she asked.
"You know the answer." Brian laughed while putting her down.
"Daddy, after we have breakfast, can we go out to an Amusement Park?"
