Chapter 691
“Oh, hell yes!”
Looking at his card early in the morning, the first thing he noticed was that he’d finally got what he’d been hoping for in the form of a single job level. It may have taken ages to get compared to how much he’d usually manage in the same timeframe but it validated the strategy he was operating under, confirming that once he got it done, he’d be flying through the rest of his jobs.
Just three more levels. He told himself. Three more levels and I break the job system in its entirety. Okay, when I get back to Stonewall I’m spending even more hours in the shop with my jacket and pushing my soul to the limits to make as many souls as possible to get through this. If I get another level of soul source too then it will get even faster and then… No, worry about that later. First, I need to finish surviving this meeting which means off to Yuzu.
It was early enough in the morning that he scribbled Thera a note telling her he’d meet them in the meeting before heading off, walking through largely empty streets to the gate before passing through beyond to Allfaith, arriving at a familiar doorstep before being let in.
It was one of the house servants who greeted him and led him to a seating area, letting him wait until Jake and Yuzu came out, looking groggy.
“Buddy, what are you doing here this early?” Jake yawned. “Not that it’s not great seeing you but I haven’t been allowed a ton of rest recently so waking up early isn’t great.”
“Sorry, I’m not sure if Yuzu mentioned it to you but long story short, someone tried to murder me a couple times and I want to borrow your mind and soul quickly to get my revenge.”
“What?”
He turned to Yuzu, watching her give a tired nod as Jake shook off some of his sleep to give in.
