The Player's System

Chapter 98 - Becoming Thief

Becoming thief

While they were walking from inside the long corridor of the house they were preparing for the unseen. The sixth wing would bring another round of challenges for them.

Jake reached the peak of his grits to decide. For becoming perfect thief he decided to read all the profession related guidelines and follow the instructions of the secret task of the system.

The visual screen appeared in front of him. This optional stat was available from the very first level however he was extremely busy in the portal tasks and the compulsory tasks.

Jake did not slowed own and kept reading.

[Guidelines: There will be occasional sets of tasks. Each Task would bring the thief level at better state. There will be punishment if the task remained incomplete.]

[Ordinary: At your best you are an ordinary thief right now with the locking picking tool. The next three tasks will determine whether the player could fulfill the requirement for Regular one.]

[Levels of thief: Ordinary, Regular, Average, Glom, Invincible Glom.]

[Instructions1: The Exp earned from the profession tasks will be added in the storage. You can buy chances in case of punishment with this Exp. The second option is you can use Exp for the tools. The shop will be available at level seven and the purchases can be done related with the sudden tasks or the level tasks.]

[Instructions2: The type of stealing depends on the usage of the tools. The player can buy chances those could increase the efficiency for single task. One chance can only service for one effort.]

[Warning: The punishment will immediately come in to effect as soon as the required time for completing task ended. The player will go through according to the severity of the punishment. Hard punishment can only be cancelled by giving away all Exp from three Stats.]

It was great that he could cancel the hard punishment but knowing the exchange brought goosebumps. It would be horrible nightmare if it happened.

Jake resolved to not reach that dead line where he would be at the edge of giving away hard earned Exp. The tasks for the profession were not listed.

It was no different from the level tasks. It was clear that the system determined tasks according to the ongoing events in the portal. These could be tough and urgent depending on the situation. Overall Jake expect that the hurdles increased however his mission was to reach the last level of the profession in order to see what perks were awaiting for him.

He strongly felt that the system would grant him something extraordinary related with his portal levels. Jake was willing to bet everything for portal levels. The portal levels were different from the system levels however tasks were related with the portal.

Including profession tasks his burden increased.

He wished that with the completion of the profession the system reward should increase efficiency of his hand or grant him level seven where he could purchase.

Jake was not clear as what type of things will be available in the shop however he was confident that it would be related with his irreconcilable right arm.

After all increase in the portal levels would demand him best controls. Jake might have read further however they stopped. The exit was in front. "If it is still the same area then get ready to destroy the Altar." Junan spoke.

He was about to open the exit however Albert interrupted, "Wait the retainers have already been roasted by us. It is utterly impossible that the Altar is ignorant about it. What we will do if the retainers stood to welcome us?" he asked.

Junan coughed. He was excited to reach another area and create ruckus. Creating an immediate formation he ordered Albert to stand in front with the shield while Jake would stand beside.

"Jake would throw grenade and Albert would spread the shield. The impact would not catch us instead stop retainers." Junan was quite fast to make reliable formation.

Others might take time in thinking for the assignment according to the professions. This was the reason that he was selected team head. He has capability to bring changes in the formation in the middle of the battle.

This was enough for others to follow his command. Each formation was perfectly assigned. The logic and the feasibility made them follow with all might.

Albert looked at the kid and asked whether he was ready. Jake nodded. He held grenades. Albert suddenly opened the exit and saw the retainer ready to attack at him.

Jake threw the grenades. Albert spread shield. Within single moment without giving enough time to the retainers they were able to attack. It was tough for Jake however he did not want to disappoint his team.

The near retainer staggered backward. Fog shrouded in the surrounding. The retainers thought that perhaps they were also going to be roasted as they heard rumors about others.

They created distance however the nearest could not make it. It gave enough space to the team. Albert remained alert while others walked from behind.

Now they were again in front of each other. These retainers were sent to kill the players. The elders of the Altar were afraid. They were standing around the Altar.

They might have informed Duke of Arena however the Duke left Mala city knowing that the third team of the Arena Runners were creating trouble for the Retainers.

He was sure that the elders would force him to use the secret weapon to stop them. Apparently he renounced them however he was not willing to stop them.

In fact he was quite satisfied knowing that there was some team to stop three Kings from this Feast. He left Mala city and hide somewhere till third team get perish or do the impossible task.

It was utterly troublesome to reach three palaces and steal the Feast however stubbornness could do wonders in most cases.. Most of the eyes were fixed on the actions of the third team.
