Chapter 56 - Tracy
Tracy Strong's POV
I didn't know if I could take much more of this. Everyone in this camp was an utter moron. Whining about this or whining about that. It was enough to drive a woman mad and I was nearly at my breaking point.
Carrying them through this tutorial was turning out harder than I anticipated. They fought me at every little decision and made me want to strangle them. It got so bad I got fed up and snapped. I didn't mean to be quite so... forceful, but it got the point across.
No one spouted any unnecessary objections after that. In my defense, I didn't know how powerful the relic was going to be when I bought it from the store. The man lived and after extensive time with healers, had no permanent damage.
Thinking about it still made me cringe. I had just wanted to chastise the man, not hurt him that badly.
I cleared my head of those thoughts, there was nothing that I could do about it now. The next wave was coming tomorrow and I had to prepare for it. Always preparing, always doing as much as possible all to see it destroyed in three days.
It was sad to spend every waking moment putting your all into defending the camp for all of it to be in ruins not three days later. I had to do it though, otherwise we would all die.
Starting as a Ranger had been strange in this new world. Getting taken out of my life so suddenly and forced to choose between 5 classes like this was some video game.
It was fairly easy to narrow down my decision to Ranger though. There was no chance in hell I was going to swing around a sword or use daggers so Warrior and Rogue were out. I wanted to stay as far away from the monsters as I could thank you very much.
I needed to be able to defend myself and I had never been good with the sight of blood, which eliminated Healer. It came down to Mage and Ranger, both would give me the range I sought but one was something I knew a little about and the other was completely new. Familiarity won out in the end and I picked Ranger.
I wasn't a Ranger anymore and I could have probably gotten to my current class through mage, but it would have been more difficult.
Arcane Trapper had a nice ring to it that made it sound cooler than it actually was.
