"Go get the loot from the wolves. When you end, find me near the carriage." I order my new wolf girl, maybe, she can be something else. Important is, I must have some really long notifications strings and I'll need time to read through them all.

Well, it was many times more than I was expecting. To every class that was level one received four levels, minus Hero that only received three for some reason.
The best part of this sudden notification row was that finally appeared the class I was awaiting for, Apprentice Magician. With this I can finally start the build that I wanted since coming to this world.
The Apprentice Magician class is basically a multi elemental caster, less than what I was expecting but it was a Apprentice class nonetheless.
The only thing that surprised me was that it had a Medium Boost to Willpower. I don't know what it do but it's probably something related to my magic damage, defense or maybe my mana. Important is, it had a Medium Boost. There are no cases until now that my classes had such big stats boost.
The biggest that appeared until now had been Low in almost all classes, minus Commoner, Apprentice Warrior, Farmer and Apprentice Fisherman. There was even the Apprentice Swordsman with two Lows.
But let's put that asides for now, what I need to do right now was to organize my classes. I want follow the path of a mage archetype, but that didn't mean that I must only follow this archetype.
I have a great variety of classes available to me and only one of them had anything to do with magic, maybe in the future something else may be unlocked. A good prospect to me is that the class is called Apprentice Magician, this means that there was at least a Regular Magician or even a Advanced Magician.
Shaking my head I focused back on my classes, I have seven of them to choose and I only did one for now. Apprentice Magician is a must, that's final. Hero too, was indisputably there are boosts here that will benefit every path I can choose from. I think that there are every status boost possible in that class.
Here the tall change, none of the remaining classes truly made difference. Apprentice Artist was only usable, there are good boosts to Charisma and Agility but the skills in itself are negligible. Yes, I used Dancing Steps against the wolf but close combat is something that I'm trying to avoid.
Apprentice Fisherman was even more unnecessary, there are very little chances of me fighting something underwater. Apprentice Prostitute may be usable in the future, even more now that I have my still unnamed slave. I'll let this option in the open.
Apprentice Warrior wasn't something essential but on the doubt I'll let it stay, the bonus are even across all physical stats so it might be worth something in the future. It also said I the description that it was only the begin of a very big path, the should be many branches in this path.
Slave User was somewhat questionable but it should be of better use now that I finally have a slave. Even more, it was the signature class of the whole human race, there should be some significant in leveling it.
Commoner wasn't a worthless class, true, as it contributes as a great part of my actual strength. But it was lacking very much in raw stats potential when compared to other classes. Even so, I think it will be good to level it a bit further, many classes already derived from it until now and I think that many others still will be derived.
Apprentice Blacksmith seems to be something good, Metal Drop will be good in my pockets. There are other skills but I think this one would be the principal factor for me using it.
Apprentice Swordsman and Soldier simply didn't have much appeal to me right now, maybe on the future when I have time to level them for fun but not now.
With all of them reviewed, the only ones that are decided are, Hero, Slave User, Commoner, Apprentice Magician and Apprentice Blacksmith. The ones that remained for choice are Apprentice Warrior and Apprentice Prostitute. It seems like the number was really closed, there wasn't many more choices to do.

There was a very big difference from before, my numbers all decreased sharply across the board. But that was the expected as he switched to many lower leveled classes.
"What are you waiting for? The carriage is ready. Let's go." Said Taveon, while holding the reins of the horses. I haven't noticed it before but the carriage was actually pretty big, it need to be pretty big if it had to accommodate twenty people and still had space for food and other supplies.
"Understood, I was just waiting for her." I said, but the Merchant seemed confused at my reply.
"Aren't she at your side?" Hum? This time the confused one was me. What do he means by ' at my side' ? I try to look around and sure thing, here she was, my Bestia slave. She was waiting for me at my side while holding the drops from the wolves.
"Sorry to leave you hanging here, I was distracted." I said while scratching my head awkwardly. She just shook her head and continued standing here, holding the loot.
While sighing at my lack of awareness I pick up the things from her hands and put them inside my Inventory. There was not many things, a few wolf fangs, claws and surprisingly a whole wolf fur.
"We can talk later while it was night." I said while motioning to her get up on the carriage. She obey and we sit ourselves outside the carriage, where the couch should be sitting.
It was a large bench, enough for me, her and Taveon. I thought carriages would be a loot slower than they actually are, the scenery passed by us like the window of a car.
"So, how much more will we wait before reaching the city?" I ass the merchant as I truly feel lost on this world.
"By normal carriage? Four more days. In this enchanted baby of mine? Two." Said the Taveon while laughing and boasting about his carriage. Four days in a carriage, I think this is almost six days on feet. Twenty days on feet, without food, water, shelter and with the risk of a animal attacking me during sleep.
I was fated to die had I continued that useless endeavor that I was so enthusiastic to do. My whole decision seems foolish right now.
While giving a hollow chuckle, I ask again,"Can you use some of your slaves as a night guard? I need to talk somethings with her and I don't think during my guard time would be the best moment for it." I truly needed talk with her, it was necessary.
For now she wasn't in my influence zone, my powers didn't affected her. Not my Slave User nor my job Change powers.
I think it was necessary something like putting her in a party with me to let these things work, I'll need to talk with her about it during the night time. I'll also need to ask her some sensitive questions that may make me look suspicious if I ask the merchant.
Like, what is this county name, some questions about classes, if every can change them, some questions about skill, many more that I can't think about now. If I had a particular talk with her, I can make her answer all my questions and they wouldn't look at me suspicious.
Looking at me with a lewd grin, Taveon answered, " Of course, of course. It won't be a problem to let you two have your own moment alone. With this, I expect you to understand the quality of my products and come back later." I gave him back a grin of my own and a loud laugh but it was just to disguise my real feelings. In fact, I'm feeling pretty awkward for having been taken as such lewd person.
Even if it was true, it hurt. Can't I just have a normal talk with my new cute slave girl? Okay, I know. Almost no normal guy would have waited,the nature of my request didn't helped me either.
Still, it seems like I got what I wanted. A peaceful and alone talk with the girl. I have many things to ask her.
Looking at my side, I saw her reddened face. I forgot that she was just at my side during all this time and my question, together with his response, must have gave her some dangerous thoughts.
Well, what can I do? It had all already happened. And it's not like I won't be doing that to her, possibly when we get out of this forest and found a room for ourselves. I don't want to be in a compromising situation during a monster attack after all.

Today I had literally nothing to do, so I took my time and wrote some more. It was enough to release one more chapter for today. Enjoy ^-^
If there was some error please comment, Scribble had taken a liking to mess with my formatting.
I like that he was willing to keep Apprentice Prostitute despite the name. Finally an MC that doesn't act like building charisma is beneath them.
It's good that you think like that...
@Asterinium I really like this type of isekai, lvling up ALL the classes!!!!!!!!! would be my approach. Was so happy to see him equip blacksmith for the loot and the luck. Since all the stats get so much from the multiclassing the most important stat is luck imo.
What's he on about? He was just groping their tits and ass a moment ago of course he is a tactless pervert.
A proper gentleman wouldn't have done something so obscene off the bat.
It's not the goal it's how you get there that matters.
The thing is, he had loose control. It was his first meaningful chance to touch a woman. Many people would completely loose the sense of property when given such offer.
And at least the MC is one of such people.
His motivations and justifications are still screwed up, but it's not a bad build for the time being. He's clearly not very good at math, given how he evaluated both Commoner and Hero, but at least he's smart enough to recognize that Commoner seems to be a prerequisite for a ton of other jobs.
Also, 4 days on a normal carriage from the middle of nowhere to the nearest city? That feels terribly long, unless they're seriously out in the middle of nowhere. Natural population growth almost guarantees a town forming about 1 day's travel from any other.
Also also, foot speed vs carriage speed is not that drastically skewed. A carriage might travel 25% faster than someone on foot, so if it takes 4 days for the carriage, that's 5 days walking to cover the same distance. 20 days is obscenely out of scale.
The reasoning that I used to reach at that time was, the normal person preferred walking speed was 1,4 km/h, a carriage medium speed was 8 km/h. That's being the case, four times the time to reach the city seemed reasonable to me.
And about his motivations and justifications being screwed? I agree with you, but that was how I think that people think. Being limited to their own points of view and often follow their own wills than reason.
And they're indeed, almost at border of civilization.
Also, can you explain that part about he not being good at mathematic? I kind of didn't understood why the classes have something to do with it.
@Asterinium
Average human walking speed is about 5 km/hr. The only 1.4 I see is 1.4 meters/second, which is a very different scale (and in fact translates to 5 km/hr). MC would also be a bit higher than average, given his height and build.
Meanwhile, carriage speeds range from 4 km/hr to 8 km/hr. The middle of that range would be 6 km/hr — only slightly faster than a typical walking human, not 4x as fast.
It's possible for the carriage to go faster by moving the horses to a trotting pace, but it's also possible for the human to go faster by jogging, so it's a bit of a wash, there.
On the math, he described Commoner as barely contributing anything, when it made up (at the time) 40%-50% of his basic attribute values. Even now it makes up 25%-30% of his total stats pre-adjustment, and 40% post-adjustment, yet he still considers it trash. Considering he was able to lift up the tipped-over carriage (capable of carrying over 20 people) all by himself, those stats are clearly not mere decoration. Even if he's not getting higher attribute scaling from the job, it's still a massive portion of his current potential.
As long as Commoner is going to level up as fast as the other jobs, that's a clear bias favoring keeping Commoner as an active job, because it will maintain a substantial stat advantage for a pretty long while. Most game systems make it increasingly costly to level up higher-leveled jobs, which means lower-leveled jobs catch up quickly, and that stat gap quickly disappears. In that type of system, there would be less value in keeping Commoner because the skills would outweigh the quickly narrowing stat gap.
Since Commoner looks like it will always maintain that edge in raw levels, its contribution to attributes is nothing to scoff at. Apprentice Blacksmith would have to reach level 36 before it *caught up* with Commoner in Strength. If Apprentice switched over to Journeyman at, say, level 25, and doubled the Apprentice's scaling (so 4 per level instead of 2 per level), then Journeyman would in turn need to reach level 23 before overtaking Commoner (so 48 total gained levels to catch up).
In short, don't underestimate the Commoner.
On the other hand, Hero has Critical Hit, which was described as "broken" even at a 1% activation rate, but without any knowledge of the actual boost to damage. This is a mistake that many people with poor understanding of damage generation make, thinking that crits are more important than base damage. I've seen it in numerous games, where people rate the value of crits far, far higher than they actually deserve. An extra 5% damage on every hit is worth as much as 5x damage on 1% of your hits, and you're more likely to win your fights with the former than with the latter. The crit may look fancy, but you're far more likely to waste the extra damage if it's just random, leading to lower overall damage generation.
And that's when you know what the actual math is. In this case, we don't know how often crits activate (and whether they can activate outside of this ability), nor how much extra damage they cause. There's certainly no downside to having it as a bonus effect, but assessing it as "broken" sounds absolutely laughable.
There's also Heroic Strike. While it should certainly be powerful, again, calling it "broken" shows a misunderstanding of the risk/reward aspect. It may deal massive damage to a single target, but if that doesn't win you the fight, then it probably just lost you the fight. It's something to be reserved for when you probably will lose the fight regardless, so you should act heroically to try to turn things around, even if it takes you out. "Broken" would be getting the damage without the downsides.
@Moxx Yes, you are right. My blunder, messing measure units is pretty embarrassing.
I seemed to be overly harsh with Commoner on that line, I will go back and change that. Even I don't think that it's truly wasteful.
Won't change the part about Hero thought, he is very biased to it.
On the overall I thank you for your comments, it's pretty good to know that someone cares enough to argue my errors.
Awesome classes, he should probably swap out the base for higher like warrior for soldier/swordsman though assume since those are higher they get better skills.
I believe its a waste to go full mage. He can go for both the warrior path and the mage path and go the magic swordman path... maybe hero can evolve too when dunno. Warrior gets to 50 and mage to 50. Which unlocks mage warrior or magic swordman? Then pevel uo that one too and boom... Epic Hero?. Master of the body and magic?... he also needs to boost warriors classes to get strenght and stamina to boost his s*x drive of course
I also think it was a waste but these are the chuuni desires of the mc, what can I do about it?
@Asterinium let the cruel reality crush em, pretty sure he is mature enough to notice that letting the low level slave being his only defense would be suicide, specially if the spells arent insta cast op, he needs to realize that he is still alive due to his OP sword and he doesnt gives the vibe of someone stupid enough to just give it to the slave.
also PLEASE dont turn him into pu**y, doormat, wuss around women
@shinikage Of course that she won't be his only defense. Even in the most dire situations he would still have Hero equipped, it would be dumb to take it off. It had bonus to every possible stats and had the Blink lifesaving skill. And the sword IS his.
And for women, in my mind he tend more to be a complete jerk who abuse women than to be a complete wuss that can't talk with without stuttering.
@Asterinium you should take a look to this game to have a good reference about the guy way of dealing with the slaves http://harem-vx.blogspot.com/
@shinikage Sadly, I only have a cellphone so it won't be possible to play the game. Still, thanks for the intention.
