The Primal Hunter's
Class Evolution

The first thing he felt was intense pain all over his body. He got a flashback of what it was like after drinking his poison to get through the dungeon of a challenge, albeit not so fierce. He also thought about the farewell words of Malefic Viper and the seriousness of his character.

But he understands. He has been gentle. He had forgiven and hoped to get to the point of naivety, and it had almost resulted in his death. The mistake was not to approach Jacob and the others to speak. It's not strong enough if it goes south.

If he was stronger, it would not matter. It would be unimportant even if the rest of the tutorial appeared to kill him if he was just strong enough to tell them all to sit down and listen to his explanation.

He needs strength and more. He had already finished having fun with the fight for now. He couldn't help himself completely from enjoying a good fight, but he wouldn't try so hard to challenge himself. At least not now. He uses a timer until the tutorial is over. Maybe also make good use of time.

The most immediate goal is to feel anything other than pain. Fortunately, he slowly became aware as he felt his senses return one by one. The scope of Perception is first and, unfortunately, the smell becomes second.

A stinging stench entered his nostrils. The stench, he quickly recognized it as the smell of rotting flesh. His ball immediately made him aware of the source of the stench as three half-rotting corpses lay around him.

Still unable to move, he could only lie there with his eyes closed. He did not feel the sunlight from the artificial sun which made him realize that it was now night. His meeting with Jacob and the others was done before noon, meaning that at least 10 hours had passed since he fainted here.

Fortunately no one followed him through the barrier. Or maybe they are not capable. He had no way of knowing it and honestly he didn't care. He could only be happy because he was left alone.

As for the raptor ... he could barely remember how he killed them but based on their circumstances, it involved a lot of poison. Although they were sure they had done something to him based on his missing left arm.

Another random occurrence was that the stench seemed to keep away the other beasts. It was dark, so if the creatures here followed the same rules as the creatures outside the barrier, Jake would be good.

Still unable to move, he decided to use the time to read his notifications but did not get any further than the second, after the first soldier he killed with a bottle on his face.

*You have killed [Human (E) - lvl 28/Apprentice Spearman of Embers - lvl 41 / Builder - lvl 16] – Small amount of bonus experience gained for killing enemies with classes above your class level. 624,458 TP obtained*

It was ... was a red-robed man with a spear. What the fuck? How did he die? Jake did land the Touch of the Malefic Viper on the man who did some damage, but it was far from enough to kill him. Caroline and the other healers are also close, meaning healing her should be very possible.

Even without healing, his natural vitality should keep him alive. But he died. It means that someone or something else has finished him off. Again, it shows that the situation is not as black and white as he once believed.

Was he just a pawn for Richard to finish off Hayden all along?

And speaking of manipulating assholes, where is William? He was not present in the fight. Thankfully. Jake doubts he'll make it if the metal caster is there, too. Hayden, Richard, and the others must have attacked, but he still felt that the William he had met a few days ago would appear first.

William is weak at defending, but he might be able to beat both of them if he plays it smart. It will take time, but it should be possible. However, if he faced them together .. yes, William was dead.

Continuing on to the next few messages, he noticed that he had indeed managed to kill three raptors alone. Although he did not know exactly how he arranged it.

*You have killed [Bluehide Raptor – lvl 40] – Experience bonuses gained for killing enemies above your level. 40000 TP obtained*

*'DING!' Class: [Archer] has reached level 24 - Allotted stat points, +1 free points*

*You have killed [Redhide Raptor – lvl 39]. Experience the bonus gained for killing enemies above your level. 38000 TP obtained*

*You have killed [Greenhide Raptor – lvl 40]. Experience the bonus gained for killing enemies above your level. 40000 TP obtained*

One level in the archer after the first raptor. That experience was amazing. In fact, it's good enough to bring up the next message.

*Filled Class Evolution Requirements*

You have been hunting animals far above your level with great determination, showing ambition and maybe a little foolishness. A determination to face what should not be. It is a lonely hunt, not shy away from facing these enemies alone. Skilled with bows as well as close quarters, you have shown diversity in your art of killing, willing to use any means to get the final victory.

Start Evolution now?

Y/T

WARNING: Delaying evolution for too long may have adverse effects, and no further class experience can be gained before evolution is complete.

The warning at the end did scare her a little, considering she was cold. He also had an unclear feeling that choosing to evolve now might not be the best idea. He did not know if something unexpected would happen like when he was improving his profession.

He instantly felt a warmth flowing through his body as his body healed at a visible speed. His severed arms even began to grow in a way that was far less frightening and disgusting than he had thought. It was like growing slowly like a tree branch ending in a hand.

Moving the arm, it felt exactly the same as before without any problems. With a sigh of relief, Jake managed to sit by himself as he began to meditate.

A few hours later, he opened his eyes, feeling in good enough condition to develop. Even though he's not in top shape, he's good enough for now. Checking the notification window once again, he received an evolution.

With a bit of fanfare, five options appeared before him, just like when he was improving his profession. Like the last time he started checking them out one by one. The first is the expected linear increase.

Veteran Archers – Archers who have proven themselves to have some skills and have a certain amount of experience. A safe and sure step forward, without taking risks but staying on your proven path of power. Classes that focus on long-distance combat, mainly using bows and arrows, coupled with lightweight options for close range such as short swords and daggers. Classes are fast and flexible, focusing on agility rather than strength. You haven't really proven yourself to be exceptional in your path, but maybe you'll find your steps and true potential in the future. Stat bonus per level: +3 Per, +2 Agi, +2 End, +1 Str, +2 Points Free

The first option is a bit boring. The description is also more or less insulting to anyone who thinks this is mediocre. Jake also remembers seeing the archers he killed along with the green aura warriors who possessed this class. The poor man must have been very disappointed when he saw two of his friends get a cool class. Everything about it was just a mediocre scream. It was likely an option that anyone who met the requirements of evolution as an archer would get.

Even the statistics are disappointing. Just give a total of 10 statistics. Half of what the Alchemist of the Malefic Viper had given him at this moment. And it's above the class that usually provides more statistics than the profession based on its reading during the dungeon challenge.

Naturally, he moved quickly as he went to the next option.

Beginner Mana Archer – An archer not only relies on his bow, but the magic of mana. Classes that focus on combining magic and archery to create something greater than the sum of their parts. While still using the bow and the occasional light melee weapon, you have shifted your focus to the magical aspects of combat and are still looking for ways to actually use it. Your focus is divided, but you are sure this diverse path can take you to the top, even if you are just starting to tread it. Bonus Stat per level: +2 Per, +2 Agi, +2 Wis, +2 Will, +2 Int, +1 Str, +1 End, +2 Points Free

This one is much more interesting. It seemed to focus not only on archery but also on magic. Something similar to a warrior who possessed the Aspiring Blade of Nature class or a spearman? Integrating magic into a more physical fighting style.

The stats were a little disappointing, providing only 14, but still much better than Veteran Archers. However, he felt that the class would provide far more powerful skills and further evolutionary opportunities than the Veterans Archer option. After all, it was only called the Beginner Mana Archer, leaving plenty of room to grow.

He has a reservation, though. It doesn't seem that strong, and it makes Jake wonder if he's wrong with his mana training somewhere not to unlock better.

He was honestly still quite tempted, but he still had three options to go through, with the next one quite a distance away.

Apprentice Rogue of Umbra – Umbra scoundrels are known for their cunning and stealth, attacking while blending in with shadows. You are just an apprentice in Craft, still at the beginning of your journey, but you have shown promise so far. Classes that focus on light and stealth melee weapons, along with long-range options such as bows and crossbows. Classes are fast and flexible, focusing on agility rather than strength. Compared to many other types of ruffians, Rogue of Umbra did not shy away from magic power, however, openly embracing the power found in the shadows. Praised Umbra. Bonus Stat per level: +3 Agi, +2 Wis, +2 Int, +1 Str, +1 Per, +1 End, +1 Vit, +1 Tough, +3 Points Free. WARNING: Skills related to the Archer class can be lost or changed after becoming an Internship Umbra Archer.

Straight from the mana archer to the evil shadow killer. Or maybe just an ordinary shadow killer. The class also undergoes a shift in focus, from a remote class to a class that is more focused at close range.

But it was not the typical type he was fighting against. This one also seemed to combine a little magic with the usual mischievous approach.

Like how did he get that choice? Well, the possible combination of his bracer with the word Umbra on it and the Basic Shadow Vault of Umbra skill. In addition, he also often fought in close quarters with a dagger, acting extremely mischievous if he had to say so himself.

It was not that he had the intention to take it. Although it gave one more stat points per level than the previous one, there were too many red flags. First of all, "Praise Umbra"? This was clearly religious nonsense - he said to himself just hours after chatting with the god.

He within his scope looked at the appearance that the Hall Master was trying to hide during his conversation with the Malefic Viper, ignoring whatever he was using to hide his facial expression. He looked embarrassed every time he made a joke and looked like he half wanted to strangle her and half kneeled in front of her the entire time - quite an irritating experience.

Being a Rogue of Umbra will also most likely create links to other gods. What he was still unsure of was a good or bad thing. Malefic Viper was a good man, but he doubted all gods were equal to him. It doesn't take a genius to know that it can lead to complications later if getting this class comes in the hopes of joining a club of weird killers or something, which he doesn't intend.

As a departure from the archer class, it also meant that he was at risk of losing some skills. In general, if he had to choose, he would rather go with the Beginner Mana Archer. Fortunately, he had two other options left.

Bowman of Decay – The Bowman of Decay seeks not only the pleasure of a good hunt but also the height of death itself. The supreme beauty of all life is its inevitable decay when death takes over. You have learned to inflict such damage on others. After drifting away from the usual archer's path, the Bowman of Decay focuses on attacking their enemies with a slow and torturous death. While still using bows and light melee weapons every once in a while, you have shifted your focus to the magical aspects of combat. Your bow is now but the medium used to inflict your death and decay magic. Your path will surely leave a lot of sadness behind you. Bonus Stat per level: +3 Int, +3 Per, +2 Wis, +2 Will, +2 Agi +2 Vit, +1 Tough, +1 Str, +2 Points Free

Yeah.what the fuck, Jake thought after he finished reading it. Is he really that horrible? So bad that the system decided that he would definitely be a very good war crime wanderer. Taking a step back, he decided to still evaluate the class, even though he was confident that he would not choose it.

It gave 3 more stat points per level than Rogue, but this time it focused more on magic than anything else. It was practically a magic archer, the highest bonus even in intelligence and perception.

If he sees it from an objective point of view, the class will likely synergize very well with his profession. It might even make his poison stronger and give him a method to empower them.

The thought of becoming a mage also seemed very tempting. Jake has trained hard on mana control and has improved tremendously in his own opinion. Although he had nothing to compare with, he felt that it was quite good. He had even managed to break free from his previous attacks by flooding every pore of his body with mana. Which, in retrospect, is not a very effective way to do it. Nevertheless, this class, without a doubt, would use more and more of its greater mana control than an improvement like the Veteran Archer.

But .. he just doesn't like it. If he were to choose, he would still choose the Beginner Mana Archer over this. It was possible that he was a little hypocritical considering how many people and ferocious beasts he had killed were completely rotting their flesh, but he did not want that to be his main focus. He could live by doing so, but not for it that ended up taking him to the top.

He reaffirmed himself to miss this one, moving on to the last option.
