I rejected it as I saw the texts appearing in front of me.

I didn’t accept Spy Class, nor I would accept Traitor Class. Seeing it appear as a class, my mood worsened further.

I was born in the undead kingdom, studied there, and became a mage warrior I am. I made good progress, and I had got chance to lead the horde.

The battle which I had lost.

The only thing, I did wrong was make a mistake. They were able to know it somehow and exploited it by blackmailing me.

I had to become a spy, because if some powerful people got to know about it. I would have suffered a fate worse than death.

Since that incident, I have been providing information to undead kingdoms' enemies. The information that made it lose a lot of battles.

I had never gotten caught when every month several spies did. There are two reasons for that, first I had never accepted the Spy Class despite the advantages that it would have given me.

The second, I had never considered myself a spy.

If my handler hadn’t been caught, I would have celebrated the victory with Rynra. I believe with my help; she would have had a good chance to win the battle.

Now, I had truly become a spy and traitor. There is no going back.

It’s terrible, that some people will pay the price.

My organization will be investigated, and the slightest fault will be punished to make an example.

So, will I; there will be a huge bounty on my head, and they will send an assassin after me.

From now. I will be in danger of assassination every minute.

I hope those bastards will keep their promise. It will make things easier for me.

Easier, but one without ambitions and dreams.

I can never be able to show myself openly, in fear of the undead kingdom knowing my place and sending assassins to kill me.

Blaze Imbiber Lv. 17

Warrior Lv. 8

Warrior Lv. 9

[Skill Gained: Stance]

 

I looked at advancement and a smile appeared on my face.

Three more levels and Blaze Imbiber will reach Lv. 20. One more and reach level 10; both of which will give me an attribute point.

I need them desperately.

Since I had decided to follow my heart. My main class had advanced only twice.

Which is a Suprise. I didn’t think, it would level up at all, but it seemed like, the missions and tasks given by Master Silver, helped with the class.

Still, the level-up up is too slow. If I had been madam; I would have reached Lv. 30 by now.

Others have already reached it.

I do not regret my choice; I love what I do, despite the dangers of it.

There is also another reason.

I still have my madam privileges. It’s like, I had never left.

I could go to the Legacy without restriction and also the college.

I still have a place on madam’s floor.

I told Margaux, I do not need it. I have my own apartment. It’s not rented either; it’s my own. It’s one of the properties, I had brought after the battle when its rates were dirt cheap.

In just a matter of months, my investment had multiplied by several times.

So, so much so that, I could live off on rent from them. Earning more, than I am at my current job.

Whenever we meet; she asks me to come back. Its why, I avoid her.

I sighed and looked texts in front of me. It would have been wonderful if these classes merged with my main class. My strength is severely restricted despite the high attributes of Lv. 27.

Once these classes merge with my class; I will be really powerful, but it won’t happen soon.

I would likely need to take at least one class above lv. 20 and a lot of luck, before that would happen.

Till, then I will keep working hard, as I have been doing for the past seven months.

I closed the window and opened my eyes.

It’s a good room. My team got better accommodation, than most soldiers.

Likely because of me.

When people know who, I am, disdain and contempt appear in their eyes, but there is also jealousy and sometimes respect.

Nobody wants to mess with a person, who knows the lord.

Those who know better than others are even more respectful. They are aware, that I could talk to lord at any time, and he listens.

Last night, Ina had asked me to stay with her in her suite, but I declined

It took a lot of effort to make my teammates accept me. I am not going to throw it all way, showing privileges.

Valorous Lord Lv. 28

Valorous Lord Lv. 29

Valorous Lord Lv. 30

[Class Change: Valorous Lord - Valorous Lord of Courage]

[Skill Gained: Public Works]

[Skill Gained: Appointment (3)]

[Conditions Met: Sharpness – Razor Edge]

[Conditions Met: Consecutive Strikes – Rapid Strikes]

[Condition Met: Solid Contract – Lord’s Contracts]

 

There were lines of text waiting for me when I opened my eyes. I had expected it, but it still surprised me.

It was two days ago; I had leveled three times and here, I did it again. People spend a lifetime, but never again at such a level, especially not most lords.

Getting a single level up was a huge thing and I had leveled up six times in just two days.

Though when I think about it, I deserve it.

I had conquered the city against great odds while making enough preparation so that my people could defend against the twice as big and more experienced army.

They did it with casualties of less than ten people.

I had not only advanced in levels but also in class. From Valorous Lord, it had become Valorous Lord of Courage.

It is said that the more words there are in the class, the more powerful it is, and the Valorous Lord of Courage is indeed a powerful class.

However, I felt it was too much. It’s embarrassing, to be honest.

I won’t be stating my full class to anyone.

I don’t feel like a courageous man. All the risks, I took because of desperation. If I hadn’t taken them, I wouldn’t have been alive at all, with my people turning into undead.

I calmed myself and turned to skills.

Immediately, my eyes went big as saucers as I saw them.

They are great; the best skills, I could hope for and the ones, I need desperately.

These skills are rare, even among the Lord Class. It’s even rare to get them this early, given their tremendous effect. Especially Public Works.

It’s a skill, that every Lord hopes to get. Given how much help, it would provide them.

Public Works is a large-area skill of ruling classes.

It increases the speed, efficiency, and quality of public works happening. It affects all the public works, like roads, bridges, hospitals, and other things.

It’s a skill, that will be immensely useful in a place like this. The public infrastructure of this place is in dire needs need of repair.

I didn’t hesitate and activated the Public Works.

Immediately, I felt it covering the whole city and the small area around it. Every public infrastructure, that will happen here now, will be slightly faster, more efficient, and better quality.

Given the scales of the projects. It will save me millions of imperials every year.

The greater the scale is public work the more money, will be saved.

It took me a while to calm down and I turned to my second skill.

Appointment.

It is just an amazing skill for the lord.

With this, I could appoint a person under me for the duty or the task.

It increases the attributes of the appointee, and it is said, that this skill also helps them gain favorable class and skill during the level-up.

Lords desired this skill a lot. More than Public Works as it could increase the strength of their people and keep them loyal to them.

If I am able to advance it. It will become even more amazing.

Currently, I could appoint three people. Which might seem like less, but they more than one gets at this level.

I already know, two people. I am going to bestow this skill on. It would have been three, but it would be useless against the third since he doesn’t have stats.

I have not only got two new skills, but my old skills have also been advanced.

Sharpness had advanced to Razor Edge.

I sat in my bed and activated the skill on my nail and used it to cut the nail. It didn’t so smoothly, that it felt like it was not my nail, but butter.

Seeing that, a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face.

However it was nothing compared to the smile, that appeared on me when I saw what my next skill had changed into.

Consecutive Strikes is useless to me. It’s not useless; it’s just that, I have never been able to use it properly.

Jon had snorted when I complained about that. Stating, ‘This skill is useful in fighting weaker or similar strength opponent, while I always those stronger than me’.

I was a little disappointed, that I didn’t get combat skills, but with it.

I am more than satisfied.

The last is the Lord's Contracts. It is just as useful a skill as the one above, if not more. Seeing, the sheer number of contracts, I sign.

It would make them stronger. Harder to break.

I looked at it all, before turning to the last thing. The attribute point. Since my class had reached Lv. 30; I have got one.

I had already decided on what I would spend and added it to intelligence.

Taking it to seventeen.

It might seem like a wrong choice given my current situation. Where I might need to fight the enemy, but it is a wise choice.

Many of my skills run on intelligence. It will make them powerful.

 

 

 

I looked at the table and couldn’t help, but sigh. My secondary class had surpassed my primary class once again.

It will bring some trouble, but I could take it. I need this level up.

I looked at the table for a minute before gently getting out of bed. Aware of my increase in strength.

I moved around the bedroom for a few rounds, before finally walking into the bathroom.

Hun!

When I came out; I noticed the clock and surprise couldn’t help but flash in my eyes.

‘It seemed like, I had been too tired.’ I thought to myself.

I had overslept by hours, but seeing my Shun didn’t wake me up. There’s likely won’t be any new emergency waiting for me.

It made me feel relieved.
