Late at night, inside his single dorm bed in Lovaria, Edward sat in silence, cradling a dried, ancient leaf.
"Activate," he whispered.
His Status Board flared gently as the leaf shimmered with golden light.
🔶 Skill Triggered: "All Things From Me, I Am All Things"
→ Leaf converted into Communication Connector
→ Contact Linked: Maxlis, Assistant of the Protector
→ Message: "Connecting to Master-Protector…"
A warm voice echoed on the other end. A young man appeared on the shimmering surface—relaxed, yet powerful.
"Lord Astros?" Maxlis blinked. "So… you're reborn as a 12-year-old named Edward."
Edward smiled.
"Yes. In 13 days, come as a teacher to Futura Academy "
Maxlis chuckled.
"Fine. I won't search—unless you forget to call. I've grown bored since you ascended. Finished 10,000 quests since you vanished."
He leaned closer.
"When I arrive in Lovaria, I'll show angels my Protector Assistant Card. That lets me travel freely through Questoria without quest limits. But for now, I'll rest. Conceal your rebirth, Master."
Edward nodded, connection fading to sparks.
Next Morning: The Dig Begins
Angel Sako gathered Team E-D-W at the Lovaria mines for their next quest.
Winston glanced over.
"Sis Sako, what's a job? We didn't get one from the start."
Sako smiled, her eyes gleaming with pride.
"Most don't. Jobs form only when two compatible classes fuse under rare triggers. Once created, a job merges your class skills into powerful hybrids. Yours activated early—pure luck and spiritual resonance."
David leaned forward.
"Can jobs evolve too?"
"Yes," Sako confirmed. "They're not fixed. With hard training and experience, jobs ascend—just like classes once did."
Edward asked,
"How do we train for it?"
"Simple," she said. "First, complete your 13-day quest cycle. Then, Sir Tyson will personally guide you in job refinement, combat efficiency, and survival routes."
David frowned slightly.
"And… what if someone tries to kidnap us?"
Sako's wings extended sharply, and her aura intensified.
"I'm Captain of Red Giant. Let anyone try. I dare them."
Winston grinned.
"Yeah, okay then."
