YM778.TV Chapter 57 - (57) Cleric
He focused carefully on the words for Cleric. \'Healing spells will have a greater effect.\' He repeated. To him, this meant that his already high health would further stack into his ability.
Geth also didn\'t have any interest in using shields. Being a front-line defender was certainly in the cards for him, but he would prefer using spells than relying on gear.
\'Albus, does being a Cleric require any type of religious oath?\' This would certainly hinder him from choosing this path.
:Although the idea may still be the same to some extent, the Mana is currently the only entity that can supply you with power.
Your body has been rebuilt by the Mana, and any class you choose will be powered by the Mana. So, to answer your question.
No, you do not have to follow any Deity to gain power. Power and other abilities are gained through your actions:
\'I understand. Then I wish to choose Cleric as my class.\'
A bright light surrounded him. Moments later Zolis experienced the same, the effect was blinding enough that Filthy had to cover his eyes. Geth could feel a great change as the light died down.
Once the light surrounding the two of them died, Geth began to observe the changes to himself. His body didn\'t feel much different, but his mind was far from the same.
He could feel his Mana pool almost freezing behind his eyes. It had only grown by 175 points with the Attributes gained, but the Mana itself was different.
Geth focused on looking into the blank space that had formed near where he could feel Albus. His Mana pool was now inside of a large dome-like structure.
It had once just been Runes floating in a blank space with wisps of Mana floating around. Now it seemed that the Dome held a large amount of cold liquid Mana.
Visibly chilly wisps of Mana could be seen floating atop the Mana lake. The Runes floating around the edge of the dome had a thin layer of frost creeping over their surfaces.
The Restoration and Barrier Runes in particular were fully covered. It was like looking at a frozen window pane on a winter morning.
Geth cast Restoration on himself, observing the reaction on the Rune. Instead of the usual warm sensation, he would get when casting, a cool chill was felt in his mind.
As the Rune heated up, trying to melt the layer of frost, liquid Mana reached up towards it. The tendrils of Mana slowly caressed the Rune, causing the frost to completely cover the surface again.
Geth opened his eyes to observe the effects of the Spell. The hard to detect shield that it offered was much thicker than before.
The sensation of the healing from the Spell was much more profound. It seemed to give him a small boost of energy every tick.
As he was observing the Spell, he noticed Albus floating in front of him. The Grimoire had changed entirely.
Geth was used to him being a brown, neat-looking, leatherbound book. Now, however, Albus was floating in front of him as a large pure white tome.
His pages were much thicker, his cover had thin traces of a royal purple around the edging with an oval gem mounted in the center. The gem was also royal purple, and inside Geth could see the hint of a floating white flame.
\'Albus, you\'re looking good!\' Geth thought to his partner.
\'It isn\'t just my looks that have changed.\' A deep and handsome voice spoke directly into Geth\'s mind.
\'ALBUS!?\' He exclaimed.
\'That\'s right, the power of the Mana inside of me has increased enough that I can communicate with you directly. Also, take a look at your friend and wife.\' Albus directed.
Geth looked over at his companions, and couldn\'t help but exclaim a bit in shock. Their Levels, HP, and Mana bars were clearly visible floating around them.
Not only that, Geth was able to see their Grimoires! Filthy\'s Grimoire was still a nice-looking, brow, leatherbound book. Zolis\' was fully black, with red trim and a red gem in the center.
Just as he was wondering if Zolis could see the same thing, she skipped over to him.
"You must be Albus!" Zolis let out, looking directly at where Geth\'s Grimoire was floating.
Albus opened his cover to show the first page, :It\'s nice to meet you formally: The flourishing words materialized on the cover page. Zolis giggled and turned back to her own Grimoire.
"So you can\'t speak with her directly?" Geth asked him out loud.
\'No, but I can "speak" with her Grimoire clearly through the Mana now. So battle instructions will now be much easier to convey.\' Geth heard Albus\' voice in his mind again.
Zolis had gone back to looking at her Grimoire, likely assigning Attributes from the Levels they had gained. Geth decided that he would look over his reward options and then do the same.
:Congratulations User, for reaching Level 25 and earning a Class. Please Select a Reward.
Option 1: +1 TP, +1 SP, Class specific item.
Option 2: +3 TP, +3 SP:
\'Albus, let\'s go with Option 1.\' Geth thought. A light appeared in front of him as a small white chest appeared on the ground. He didn\'t open it and looked at the next prompt.
:Congratulations User, for being the first to reach Level 25 and earning a Class. Please select a reward.
Option 1: +2 TP, +2 SP, 1 Class specific item.
Option 2: +4 TP +4 SP:
\'Let\'s go with Option 1 again, Albus.\' Geth glanced at the prompt briefly. He\'d only beaten Zolis by a hair, it was time to admit that others were closing the gap that he\'d earned from waking up early.
Another flash of light, and another box formed in front of him. Still, he had two more prompts to go through.

***
\'Albus, Option 2 without a doubt.\' How better to protect those he cared about? This Option was essentially giving them free Attributes. Finally, it was time for his last choice.
