Chapter 87

I had changed Jobs through the wondrous power of my System Unique Skill!
Now, what should I do? Check my status, of course!
Additionally, I got a bunch of new Skills and powered-up stats from it.
Jobs are truly wondrous things. But I guess I am cheating because I shouldn’t have a Job anyway as I am a monster and all… Haha…
Nevertheless, I picked up the latest Job there was on the list, one strong-sounding and very long.

I see! So I got more stats- What in the goddamn?!
I got so many stats! Is this legal?! Is this really okay?! Am I allowed to do this?!
Ahh…
Oh, thank you, gods! I will forever be indebted!
I’ve heard that higher Jobs with higher tiers/ranks give more stat bonuses, but this is a bit too much for a humble little ghost girl like me raised on a little farm in my graveyard.
But anyways! The higher, the better.
Nonetheless, where the heck do all these stats come from? The crystal of job changing seems to be powerful. It has influenced my system somehow and added up the surplus power required to enhance my total ability.
But the thing is, a Jobs power is “borrowed,” so if I take it out, it will come out. Well, not so borrowed as it is still part of my own power, and I own it, so it could be said it is something like equipment and won’t stay permanently to infinitely stack up.
But if I can somehow upgrade this Job and get an even higher-tiered one, I can get even more stats out of it and perhaps new skills.
Anyways, moving on, let’s see what these new Skills are all about. I am quite excited. It seems that I have become a spirit… Or something like that…
The [Elemental Spirit: Lv–] Characteristic Skill is like all other Characteristic skills. They’re like… part of my very being.
It’s strange for such a thing to come out of a Job that can be ultimately taken out. It is as if Jobs can affect the nature of a very being, but they can be easily taken out and reverted back into that very being.
I had not noticed it before, but my body feels more “real” and, simultaneously, more mystical, as if mana is magically overflowing from all around me.
How wondrous… This Skill pretty much makes me an Elemental Spirit as much as the Undead Skill makes me Undead.
Then there’s the [Spirit Queen: Lv1] Title Skill… This Title Skill seems to work similar to [Undead Queen] as it helps me have a higher affinity with Spirits that I might encounter.
I might even have some authority over them, but I don’t think it goes as far as [Undead Queen] where I can quite literally force Undead to obey me.
The [Spirit Mediator: Lv1] Title Skill helps me mediate with spirits. Normal folks can’t just find one and speak to them, even less search for them, so this aids me in all of this.
Maybe I could find some spirits now. Or maybe not… I don’t know.
The [Spirit Summon: Lv1] Normal Skill is an interesting one. No, it doesn’t let me summon a spirit out of thin air. I can only do so if I find a spirit to make a contract with, which might be hard as I don’t know how to call one… Perhaps I could ask Emeraldine for help.
And lastly, the [Shadow and Death Domain: Lv1] Normal Skill lets me create a domain of Shadow and Death element around a few meters around me, which temporarily enhances the power of Shadow and Death magic by around +100 per level. Also, it helps me expand my shadow and death abilities, my senses, and more within it. And even Undead that belongs to my side can receive a bonus to their power by just standing on this.
Considering all the above, it could be said I’ve acquired a substantial increase in my power, and I’ve totally grown stronger.
Though, I hope my allies, who are monsters, have a turn at changing their jobs. But honestly, the only one I am concerned about is Lucifer. I believe Partner should be able to, but Lucifer is no longer a true dragon but an undead monster, right? Huhh… Well, let’s hope for the best.
I walked outside the room as my allies suddenly noticed the slight changes in my appearance.
Partner looked at me with eyes wide open, and so did Lucifer, Emeraldine, and everyone else.
“Maria… Have you become some sort of spirit? You’re so mystical all out of the sudden!” Said Emeraldine.
“I am? Well, kind of….” I muttered.
