BXBX NOVEL Chapter 160: Job Class Upgrade!
[Job Class can now be upgraded!]
[Choose between the classes listed below:]
[
1. Magic Swordsman III (Rare)
2. Tamer (Rare+)

5. ???
]
"What the...?" Aster was dumbfounded.
After all, Class Upgrade was supposed to go through a special machine, which was placed at the Class Exchange Hall!
All classes usually get their first Class Upgrade at level 5, but the next ones depend on the rarity of their jobs. For example, a Common Job would need upgrades every 15 levels up to five times. An Uncommon Job upgrades every 20 levels seven times, while a Rare Job needs 25 levels for each upgrade, for a total of 10 times.
By the way, the counter is universal.
If you\'re an Uncommon Job doing your 5th upgrade and you selected to downgrade to a Common Job, then you would lose the chance to do the last two upgrades from before. On the other hand, if you got a rarer job during the upgrade, the chances could increase instead.
Aster read the class choices and quickly locked onto the last two jobs.
"Legendary..."
It was his first time seeing such an extreme rarity! However, he was worried about the Job\'s name. "Battle Cook? What the hell?" It not only sounded weird, but it was even ambiguous if it was a support class or a combat class!
"And the last one is just question marks?"
This one was even weirder. Why would the system leave it as a mystery, when it can only tell the "truth"?
"Could it be... It\'s blocked by a mysterious power?" Aster guessed, but quickly shook his head. "Nah, I doubt. Maybe I\'m just thinking too much from reading similar novels in the past."
Anyway, after judging the classes, he disregarded the second and third options. The first one was just a direct upgrade of his current class; the fourth was a Legendary one that was hard to pass; and the last one was a mystery.
"Hmm..."
Aster pondered hard but decided to go with stability instead. "Let\'s go with Magic Swordsman III."
As his finger approached the card, however, something weird happened... The jobs rearranged themselves, completely reversing the order!
"WOAH!"
Thankfully, he was paying attention and managed to hold his finger for the next instant. "I almost tapped on that question mark!"
Aster wasn\'t one to gamble, unless it\'s his only choice. He had limited time, so he\'d rather spend it stably than try to bet on something risky. He tried to move his finger again to where the Magic Swordsman III was, but then, the same thing happened. The list flipped!
"Fuck...!"
After trying a few times, Aster was starting to get irritated. It was as if the Card wanted him to not select the easiest way!
"Phew... alright." He sighed, calming down. "You think you\'re smart? Let\'s see about that!"
Aster moved his finger fast, heading to the top of the list, where the Magic Swordsman III was. As he expected, the list flipped the next instant!
"NOT SO FAST!"
But then, he suddenly switched to his thumb and went to press the last item, where the Magic Swordsman III went. "Got you!" He cheered, checking the card, but...
"...!"
The one he pressed, turned out to be the question mark! He didn\'t even see how they switched!
"FFFFF!"
He felt like he was exploding from anger!
As he expected, the selection was done without confirmation, just like how online scams would go...
[Congratulations, you selected the Job: ???]

"A... A Mythic Class?!"
Aster couldn\'t help but be shocked.
After all, from all his game knowledge, the "Mythic" level is practically the rarest of them all, even beyond Legendary. Although higher rarities require more levels to upgrade the class, he wasn\'t sure how much level he\'d need to accrue before getting a chance for another Class Upgrade.
"Still, I guess it\'s reasonable." He sighed, placing a hand on his chin. "The Card practically became buggy after it appeared, after all. I guess this Question Mark thing is a god\'s name?"
Some God directly intervened with his class upgrade, and even used his card as an intermediary! While wondering who it was, or if it was some God whose name he knew, his gaze turned to Argus, who was sitting quietly, waiting for Aster\'s "business" to finish.
\'Was this God also the one who sent Argus, perhaps?\'
It wasn\'t a farfetched guess, given that the pup was treated as a "Divine Pet" by the card.
After a while, the Card lost its faint glow, making it hard to see the words written on it. Having no choice, Aster placed it back in his Fanny Pack and sighed.
"I guess I\'ll just check my new class first, and distribute the stats I earned later..."
*Arf!*
Seeing that Aster was done, Argus quickly stood up, his tail wagging excitedly, before guiding the way once more.
Although he was a small dog, easy to lose sight of, the faint glow from sparks covering his body made him stand out in the dark surroundings, making it easy to follow his tracks.
While walking, however, Aster found it mysterious. His speed was mostly the same as before, but he wasn\'t getting tired!
\'Could it be the Physical Enchant\'s effect? It became passive, after all...\'
He still couldn\'t confirm his skill\'s effect without using a Skill Plate, but from how things were going, it seemed to be a weaker version of Physical Enchant that remains active all the time.
If Physical Enchant gives an increase of about 3x multiplier, then the new skill, Boost, multiplies all stats by 1.5x multiplier at its current level. It wasn\'t much, but it could be a great boon at higher levels. After all, he would be at least 50% stronger than his peers 24/7 with it!
"Good stuff!" Aster smiled, satisfied.
*ARF!*
"...!"
While walking, the two encountered monsters once more. This time, it wasn\'t the hyenas, but rather, a pair of large-bodied rabbits, Herculean Horned Rabbits, who approached.
"Argus, you take the one to the left. I\'ll handle the other!"
Curious about his current strength, he commanded the little pup. Aster rushed forward, blade at the ready, and activated his new skill.
"Elemental Sword Slash!"
*Poof!*
"...!"
But his skill activation failed, causing his attack to inflict zero damage.
Of course, the rabbit didn\'t miss the chance and attacked. Aster was suddenly in a pinch!
