Redo: Grimoire System in the Apocalypse

'Did you just say Sub-Class?' Geth asked, his mind suddenly burning with curiosity.

'Yes. The Sub-Class Establishment is a location the city provides where its citizens can learn job-like Classes.

Those who have already learned a Sub-Class as their main Class in the past can use the facility to choose a fighting Class if they so choose.

The only downside is that there will be no Talents offered for whichever Class becomes your Sub. You can learn Skills for the Sub-Class, however.

The Sub-Class Leveling system is also independent of your main Class and is done by Grades and not Levels.'

Geth processed this information quickly and posed another question, 'Is it possible to choose another fighting Class as a secondary?'

'No, you can only have one Battle Class and one Utility Class. Which you choose to be Primary or Secondary is up to the individual.'

'Hmm. Thank you, Larz... Oh, please find around forty men or women with a high Strength Attribute to meet us at the Western Gate.'

A Utility Class... Geth wondered what kind of options there were. It seemed as if the Sub-Class didn't have restrictions on its choices, but the cost of that was the heavy limits it imposed with not allowing Talents.

What would Geth be? A crafter of some kind? Blacksmith? Enchanter?

Maybe something simple? A Farmer or an Herbalist?

He wondered at the different Class options available while they made their way toward the Western Gate. It would be quite some time before he had to worry about it, as they still had to purchase the Blueprint.

The two hours from the quarry to the Western Gate passed by quickly. They sat the Stones in front of the gate, waiting for something to happen.

"Well... did we do it right?" Chad asked.

"Yes, this is fine."

Larz appeared out of nowhere at the edge of the gate and began examining the Stones. It looked as if he was measuring them to ensure they were accurately sized.

"These are fine. It is okay if they are a little more sizeable, but make sure that the Stones don't arrive too small," Larz informed them.

Sindri looked at the Elf curiously, "So... the rocks just sit here until we're done?"

"Yes, once all fifty are confirmed, we will carry them to the appropriate locations. After that, the city will take over and mold the resources into Level 0 structures."

"Why do I feel as if it isn't so simple after Level 0?" Geth asked.

Larz gave him a knowing grin, "We will cross that bridge when we come to it, Master."

*Sigh*

"Alright, let's see if we can knock the rest of this out in one trip," Geth re-cast the buff for the newcomers, and they swiftly made their way to the quarry.

Without the Stones' weight or the Goblins to worry about, a light jog had them cover the twenty miles in less than thirty minutes. The fledglings 'oohed' and 'ahhed' over the massive quarry and the Stones that they had to carry.

"Let's get this trip over with as soon as possible. We also need volunteers to come here daily for the purpose of toting these Stones back and forth. It's easy Merit Points, and they will be important soon enough."

Geth noticed that he'd gained Merit Points for the delivery of each Stone that he'd crafted. It seemed that each Stone was technically worth two Points if one person did all of the work.

Geth made sure that everyone was ready, and they set off once again. This trip was even more festive, and there were a couple of times they stopped to allow the weaker members to rest.

The Western Gate came into view just as the sun was beginning to set. It was nice to have the day start and end with such a beautiful view. 

"These will do, Master."

Larz snapped his fingers, and all fifty-four Stones lifted into the air, following the Elf into the gate. He nonchalantly walked toward the Tower with over two hundred thousand pounds of Stone following him.

The others gaped at the sight. What they had struggled to do with one Stone, he did with fifty-four as if it were an afternoon stroll!

"Maybe you'll be able to do that one day," Geth commented to Zolis.

Zolis watched the Elf and gained a newfound interest in her Earthen Toss Skill, "Wouldn't that be something."

"Yeah, you'd be able to give all of us a ride from place to place."

Zolis' interest wavered, and she punched Geth in the arm, almost dislocating it.

"Easy now, you know you could probably launch me across the city," Geth chuckled.

"Hmph."

He grabbed her hand. Their fingers intertwined, and the two walked toward their temporary residence with Sindri humming beside them.

The rest of the citizens dispersed after receiving their Merit Points for assisting. As soon as they walked in the gate, a notification had appeared informing them of their earnings.

None of them were sure whether or not to be excited, as the value of a Merit Points still hadn't been determined. Either way, each of them wanted to stockpile as many as possible.

Chad and Maverick had spouted many tall tales about the things they would buy, and their optimism managed to rub off on everyone else in the crowd.

Sindri walked closer to Geth's side, "Do... you think the kids will have a problem with me staying?"

"They have to meet you sometime. Why not over dinner?" Geth asked.

Zolis giggled, "You shouldn't worry too much. We raised our children to be open-minded, despite the area we live in."

Sindri nodded, but she was still a bit nervous. She didn't intend on hiding their relationship, and she wanted their family to be the first to know.

"What about the rest of your family?"

"Well, they are aware of our tendencies, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. In fact, according to Albus, it will become a normal thing in the near future."

"Because of the Resonance?"

Geth nodded, "Certain people will start to gravitate toward one another. Something about survival instinct and the Mana being aware of who you'll have the highest probability of siring stronger descendants with."

Sindri blushed as soon as Geth mentioned that.. She knew that he was just stating facts, but she couldn't help seeing it differently.
