Chapter 601: Radiance Class Up
It was classing up time! I’d capped out both [Sage of Tomes] and [Seraph of the Dawn], and with the recent battle against the dragon - plus surviving the Cataclysm and everything that happened since I last classed up - made me confident I had more than enough accomplishments for some good classes.
Some class ups I knew exactly what I wanted going into them; I knew what I wanted my classes to do and be for me. Right now though, the world was my oyster, large and open to explore. There were no threats on the horizon, no problems I needed to solve right now. No looming threat of violence or starvation, barring the odd wild animal attack. Given how we’d just killed a fucking dragon, I was feeling pretty good about my power and skills. I doubted I’d completely remove my offensive abilities, but I was open to all sorts of offerings. I had super special one-time permission from Auri to take a phoenix class if I wanted to!
“Love you too, Auri.” I told the little rascal. “You can take a human-related class if you want to.”
“BRRRRPT!!!” There was not enough Fire in the world to express her indignation at the thought that she might want to take a human class. I cheekily winked at her, and her cheeks blew up as she stomped cutely.
It was also possible I’d find the groove that I wanted to stay in for the rest of my life. My classes had changed themes less and less over time, simply refining the focus a small amount. I’d been on the [Butterfly Mystic] theme for over a century with magic, discovery, and exploration married together.
“Love you!” I told Iona, squeezing her hand. She rolled on top of me and kissed me deeply.
“One for the class up.” She winked roguishly at me. “Love you too, bookosaurus.”
She rolled back over - holding my hand the entire time - and was out like a light, the softly glowing lights of her own class up appearing around her. Auri, Fenrir, Artemis and Nina were on guard. It would be overkill if they hadn’t already come over for snacks and games.
I snuggled up to her, putting my head on her chest, and let myself fall into the world of my soul.
