The System
As they went to the Central of the Oak Land, going through every inn they see, trying to bargain for their prices, yet Lily failed to bargain. fortunately, they ended up at the end of the central. A small guild can be seen in sight without any hindrance.
Lily suddenly looks exhilarated with a mixed of relief in her face, a hand grabbing Calix's wrists and dragged him toward the guild in a hurry, since the sun is setting and small guilds tend to close doors after the sun fully sets.
The moment they stopped at the Guilds front door, Lily hesitated to knock, but she did after a matter of minutes in thoughts.
"Hello? are you still open?", Lily asks, making sure her voice is loud enough for the people incharge inside to hear. soon enough the door opened.
A guy, who looked like in their early 20's stared at them for a hot minute, "do you guys need something? we're about to close", the guys said.
Lily smiles, "Yes! we do in fact! uhm... can't we go in first?", She said, letting go of Calix's left wrist.
The guy sighed and steps aside for them to come in, before he closes the door behind them.
"Well?"
Lily turned to the guy, "we just wanted to ask if you have any avaible inn?", she questions nervously.
The guy raised a brow at her then at Calix, "hmm... yes we do"
"Perfect! this guy with me needs one!", Lily said with so much excitement.
Calix bowed at the guy a little, "Haha... yeah...", saying that as he scratches the back of his head in awkwardness.
"we need to register you before you can transact for the inn", The guy said, looking at Calix to signal to follow him. Calix turns his head to look at Lily for a second before he follows the guy. Leading them both to a secluded room in the 3rd floor that he presume to be the main office of this guild.
They stopped right in front of a classy looking door, with gold plating and has written 'Guild Master' on it. The guy knocked three times gently, grabbing a hold of the door handle, twisting to open the door as soon as the guy heard 'come in' faintly coming from inside of the office.
He followed right behind. Silently.
"What is it, Evan?", A manly voice asks.
The guy, Evan, who he followed, bowed at the man sitting behind that modern looking desk, before saying, "There's someone who's interested in 'that' inn".
Calix raised a brow, 'why did he say it like that?', he questioned in his mind.
The man behind the desk, stern eyes suddenly on him, Calix felt the urge to shiver visibly but he can't, not wanting to be seen as a scaredy-cat person right off the bat.
The man clicked his tongue, "you mean that lady behind you?", the man asked.
...what?
Calix froze to his stance, 'lady...?', he stared at the man with absolute confusion.
Evan turned to him, eyeing him up and down before turning back to the man, and bowed 90 degrees, "Y-yes...", Evan said awkwardly.
Calix had enough.
"Excuse me, but... I'm not a lady. I'm a guy!!", Eyes fuming with annoyance as he glared the man behind the desk, who smirks at him.
"I pretty much know you're a guy, just confirming it.", the man said, so amused by him.
afterwards, we have contracts done after conducting questions, filling up form to be an official citizen of the Oak, I was lead to the inn that Lily got for me, they also showed me around the near areas that has merchants, Lily bidding Calix a farewell not forgetting to promise to visit him tomorrow, and that's how the day was spent.
As He settled inside the small yet convenient inn, he looked for a mirror, wanting to know what he looks like. Finding on in the bedroom, a full body mirror next to the wooden wardrobe.
Astonished as soon as he saw himself in front of the mirror.
"the heck? This is me?", He questions the air as he touches his face, hair, and body.
Completely fascinated by the golden eyes staring back at him, Black raven hair which past his shoulder a little bit, a shoulder as wide as a lady can get, Hands so delicate and smooth, that he worries damaging them, a tiny waist... you can say, he looks and have a feminine figure, he doesn't look like a male at all. not to mention, Calix is much shorter than he originally was. No wonder why the man, the guild master, doubted him being a lady.
and with that, He thought about the man from earlier. It was not an exaggeration if he said the man was hot.
A body of a perfect man, masculine. Handsome yet pretty face, somewhat long lashes, and plump lips accompanied by a luscious aquatic eyes and Silver hair. not to mention the veins on his hands travelling up his arms.
Shaking his head to push away his thoughts, for now he should learn about himself. his new self.
Calix took a step backward and sat on the edge of the bed, body leaning back as he prompted himself with his left hand.
"status window", he said quietly.
The status window showing up silently. providing him all the information about himself, more importantly, his power possession.

Calix is beyond confusion, why are his skills mixed with other class's skills? shouldn't there be only skills related to his chosen class?
Rubbing his eyes to confirm whether he's just imagining them or it's really there. grunting in disbelief, "how the heck did this happen? I... I should hide this.", he mumbled to himself.
perking as a notice from the system pops up.
[SYSTEM]
The system has given you authority to have the ability to see others information. You have been granted 'Eyes of Truth', the ability to see others information.
He blinks for a few times. Eyes of Truth. This could help him avoid strong people for the meantime. He taps on the window a few times for it show where he exactly is and what kind of world this is.
He looks around, "I wonder what time it is.", he muttered. sighing before he drops his back on the bed, lying down as he ponders what to do first thing tomorrow.
First, he should look for a... party? and look our for jobs.
That's how it works here, right?
[ The God of System would like to give you a gift ]
He perks up at the window message in front of him, making him jolt back to sit up straight.
"a... gift?"
then a sudden ball of light appears in his lap, wincing and Closing his eyes abruptly for the unexpectedly light coming from his lap, his arms also taking action to shield him from the light.
a matter of seconds, he cautiously peaks at the gap of his arms, only to see a plain box sitting on his thighs. He blinks for a few times before registering what just happened.
Cautiously reaching out his right hand to open the lid of the box in case something dangerous is inside there come outs. Slowly lifting the lid, Curiously looking over, just to see a... cat? now what is this?
The cat is sleeping.
Calix raised his left brow, the cat strangely resembles a maine coon, yet the only difference is that this cat have two sharp horn on its head.
Reaching his left hand, gently tapping the cat with his index finger, he heard a purr as his finger touched the cat. What a magnificent silky black coat of fur.
Lucky of him for the cat to allow him to touch his fur and accepts the petting it receives.
Soon, the cat leaps out of the box, which disappears into the thin air. Stretching its whole body before lying down the bed. It's red golden eyes glaring softly at Calix.
Soon the Cat fell asleep again. Calix wonder what is this cat for?
He soon too, follow suite to the cat, slowly leaning back to the bed, adjusting to fully lie down and as the seconds pass by, his eye lids surrenders from the sudden drowsiness he felt. but a figure of someone can be seen as soon as his lids closed.
"I can't believe you're the prophecy.", was what the figure had said and heard before Calix fell into a deep slumber.

Next Morning, as the sun slowly rises to the sky, light from the sun rays pass through the slightly opened window, the see-through curtains flowing along the wind that enters the small gap of the window. Birds chirping as if an soft melody of an alarm for the people to wake. A sign of a new day to start.
A cats paw rests its right paw on top of Calix's left cheek. meowing ever so softly, wanting the person to wake up already.
In turn, Calix grumbled as the paw taps constantly on his left cheeks,waking him up in the process.
Eyes opening in caution, only to be met with red fiery eyes staring back at him. He almost yelled from being startled at how close the cat was.
Hair disheveled in every possible way.
Groaning in annoyance as it was another morning to start. Turning his body around, making his back lie on the bed, facing the ceiling, waiting for his brain to completely awoke before he sat up straight near the edge of the bed.
Stretching his bones, earning sounds of cracks from them and an instant relief came over his entire body after his stretch.
glancing down his body to see he's still wearing the same clothes from yesterday. Blushing in embarrassment. He should go look around and maybe buy some new clothes to wear.
He stood up and yawned. The cat follows suit.
--
As he went out of his cabin, taking up the scenery of people lively doing their own things. He sighed and headed straight to the guild.
Entering without knocking as it is morning.
"Oh, Calix was it?", The guy, who he remembered being called Evan last night.
He smiles at him, "yes, that's me, you're Evan right?", he questioned back at the guy who beamed at being recognised.
Evan approached him with a distance that is comfortable for the both of them, "what brings you here first thing in the morning, sir... Calix?", Evan asks.
He nearly question Evan why he took a pause after calling him a 'sir'.
"well, I... I need Information? kind of?"
Evan visibly looks confused at this.
He sighs one more time, "can you have someone guide me? for clothing, and showering stuffs.",he grumbles under his breath.
It took a minute for Evan to understand what he meant and immediately guided him to the reception.
"uh, here, Flora can give you a map of this village, I'm not quite familiar with shops around he–"
"just say you're a homebody Evan.", the woman behind the reception chimed, interrupting Evan from talking. She's Flora.
She took out a roll of paper, tied with a paper rope and handed it to him. "here you go. Enjoy your time wandering around.", She nonchalantly said and went back to her job.
Calix turned to look at Evan who immediately looks away in embarrassment.
"is everyone like them here...?"
