Stats Point: 90
I smile a little at my new status. Two of my stats reach one hundred, and I can get into the upgraded class. However, it does not stop there, as another notification appears next to my status window.
[Congratulations! You reach 100 in INT! You get (Mana Heart) perk from this achievement.]
[Congratulations! You reach 100 in WIS! You get (Mana Engine) perk from this achievement.]
I look at the perk and widen my eyes.
[Mana Heart]
{Your heart creates dense mana that boosts all your spell power}
|Effect: Give a 10% boost in any spells you cast|
[Mana Engine]
{Your mana core generates more mana than a normal mage}
|Effect: Increase mana regeneration by 20%|
This is great! I can cast more spells without resting or chugging mana potions with this.
"You are not done yet, host! Remember, you still have class upgrades!"
"You are right. Open the Class Upgrade for me, system."
[Congratulations! You can now choose one of three of the Advanced Classes]
[Elemental Mage] [Summoner] [Astrologian]
"Can you explain them to me?"
"Of course, host! [Elemental Mage] is your regular DPS mage that uses elements as their main weapon. This class has great overtime damage that can reduce enemies' HP to zero in seconds. [Summoner] is unique because it can be DPS, Healer, or Tank, depending on the summoned creatures you buy and learn. This class is the most expensive, and it takes a long time for it to grow. Your creature has its own level, and you are limited in the number of creatures you can summon. [Astrologian] is your Healer, Buffer, and Debuffer. This is a full support class that has great spells that can save your allies' lives."
I think for a few seconds before picking the [Summoner]. The reason? I am a squishy mage. I need a tank to maximize my hunting time. I can use my summoned creature as a tank and focus on my damage output.
[Congratulations! You are now a Summoner! You get [Summon Companion] as your class spell, and Advanced Mage Class spells are unlocked in the (Shop)!]
I grin and say.
"[Summon Companion]!"
A second later, another panel appeared in front of me.
[Choose your first summon!]
[Shadow Snake] [Lizardman] [Kitsune]
"System, explain each of these summons to me."
"Sure, host! [Shadow Snake] is your DPS and Stealth creature. They wait for a chance to attack and deal a lot of damage when they strike. Not only that but because of its venom, it also deals overtime damage. [Lizardman] is a humanoid creature that is very durable and hits hard. It is not fast, but its tough scale and ability to increase its defense make this summon a great tank. [Kitsune] is your mage of the group! It can buff, heal, and damage enemies from far away. It has great overtime damage spells and healing spells that you can use in case you get cornered."
I nod and quickly pick the Lizardman. A second later, a two-meter-tall humanoid lizard appeared in front of me. I use [Observe] skills to check on my new summon.
[Name: None]
[Race: Lizardman]
[Class: Lizard Soldier]
[Level: 1]
[HP: 500/500]
[MP: 10/10]
I look at my new summon and say.
"From now on, your name is Simon, and you will be my shield."
"SHAAAH!"
I pat his head and say.
"System, you said it is expensive to pick this class, right? Is it because I can equip him with gears?"
"Yes, host. Not only that, you need to buy or acquire everything your summon needs to evolve, and yes, the class is connected to the race. You upgrade the race, you get an upgraded class. However, it will take a long time. You need to get him to reach level 25 first before you can do that."
"Right, and all of them need money."
I get a good amount of money from hunting zombies and selling all the trash I get from the drop, but it is not enough.
"What about selling the potions, host?"
"Huh?"
"Healing potions. You can buy them from the [Shop] and sell them at an increased price."
That is right!
"You are a genius!"
"Hehehe~ It is just a logical thing~"
I open the shop and buy a bunch of health potions from it. I grin and store them in my inventory before getting out of the [ID (Instant Dungeon)]. However, before I can leave the house, I remember it is still the middle of the night, and the Hunter Association is closed.
With a sigh, I walk to the bathroom to take a bath and have some sleep.

|3rd POV|
Lucas rubs the bridge of his nose as he looks at two dozen healing potions in front of him. The appraiser has already confirmed they are the real deal, which becomes a headache for him. Potion-making is a rare job. Even a low-level potion maker is something that a country values greatly. However, when someone is selling mid-level potions, they can safely say that person can create a high-level potion or can create a batch of mid-level potions with ease.
"Can you tell me who is making these potions once again?"
"Adrian Grey. He is a hunter who registered two years ago after graduating high school. However, instead of going hunting, he decided to do a mundane job and even take a part-time job."
"And we know the reason why. He buys ingredients to increase his potion-making skill."
"The other and I also think the same, sir. Because fighting is not his specialty, he decides to work at home before selling his goods when he is good enough."
"Good enough? Hah! That is a good one. These potions are more than good enough. How much do you give him? We need him to stay working for the Hunter Association instead of joining a private guild. This country needs more hunters instead of them going to the private guilds who only want profit rather than protecting this country."
"We are paying him the premium price, sir. We already know you want to tie him or at least have a good relationship with him, so we take the initiative after confirming the potions are genuine goods."
"Good. Good. He will continue to sell his goods to us and make sure to serve him well. We can use the potions in the raid or even sell them for a higher price. Anyway, hide his identity and make sure the guilds do not know about his identity for as long as you can."
"I will do that, sir."
Lucas nods and stands up.
"I will take these potions and give them to the next raid party. If he arrives here, call me. I want to talk to him and try to get an agreement between us."
"Yes, sir."
