“Dungeon Life…” I repeated, and then shrugged, sticking the ga into my Nintendo. “Well, it doesn’t hurt to try it out.”
The screen finally ca on, and I imdiately had to shake my head. Seriously… no graphics! This might as well be an Atari ga. It was a completely black screen with white text on it that said Dungeon Life followed by the words, ‘Start your New Life!’
I clicked the start button. Was this ga more like Second Life? It might be one of those Java Mudd gas that were popular a decade ago. I wasn’t above playing a text-based RPG, especially if the story was pretty good.
“Pick your class.” I read what was on the screen. “Your class is not your job. The class will dictate the type of skills you’ll gain to navigate the Dungeon Life. Choose wisely, as your play style will vary greatly based on your class.”
The classes were not what I expected at all. Rather than traditional RPG things like mage and warrior, they were far broader. The first class was Weapon Offense. The second was Shield Defense. The Third was Stealth. Then there was Long-Distance. Hand to Hand. Magical Attack. Magical Defense. My eyes went down the list until it fell on one that caught my eye.
Support. That was all that was written. Well, none of them had any descriptions of what they did. This appeared to be a ga worse than I expected. It wasn’t very intuitive at all. However, I always played as a supporting character. I didn’t like my character to be the high hitter. Instead, I’d often play as a monster tar or a necromancer and summon legions to fight for . Then, I would sit back while they gave their lives, using little spells to help amplify and keep them going. I didn’t see anything like a necromancer, a druid, or a monster tar… so Support seed to be the closest I could co up with.
I selected the Support, and then another screen popped up. It asked to choose a job.
“Ah, this is it.” I nodded in affirmation.
This list gave the more familiar things I was used to. There was a herbalist, a White Mage, a monster tar, a support mage, and many more. On top of the screen was so text.
Your job can be whatever you want it to be. With the appropriate class, you can switch between the jobs at will. However, other than your starting job, all other jobs must be unlocked. You must discover how to unlock your jobs on your own.
I frowned at the sowhat confusing instructions. So… basically, I could have any job I wanted as long as I unlocked it? That seed really overpowered to . In the end, I decided to go for the White Mage. It wasn’t that I wasn’t tempted by the monster tar, but I’d be able to pick that ability up later on. In the beginning, I found the thing that aggravated most in gas, and that was the inability to heal. Potions were usually really expensive, so a simple healing spell went a long way.
Of course, I wouldn’t have very much in the way of attack, it was probably fine. White Mages were usually given a pass in earlier gaplay. Once I switched to sothing like a monster tar, in conjunction with White Mage skills, I figured I’d be pretty powerful. Thus, I selected the White Mage job. I had my doubt about the ga’s quality, but I was a bit excited to try it. If it sucked, I’d just play sothing else anyway.
Are you sure you’d like to go to another world?
{Na: Deek

“Yes,” I said out loud as I clicked my tongue, “Let’s get on with this.”
{You have unlocked the White Mage skill: Weak Heal.}
“Wait… what?” Those words didn’t flash on the TV, but they flashed in the middle of my vision.
A mont later, I was surrounded by a white light as the world around vanished.
