“A dualist?” I had never heard the term before.
“Those who can possess more than one job at a ti are called dualists.” Calypso explained. “There are only a handful that are born that way. Most have to beco that way through hard work.”
“B-beco? How?”
”Mm! It is good!” Calypso took a sip of the soup I made. “You do have so skill in cooking. I will appoint you as my chef then.”
“Thank you, my lady.” I wanted to push my question, but I politely addressed her instead.
If I got too excited asking questions, I might genuinely invite her wrath. I watched patiently as she took several more bites. Finally, she waved her hands.
“The rest of you may eat.” The n whose mouths had been watering while watching the steaming pot ran forward, and one man took it upon himself to start scooping out spoonfuls into the waiting bowls. “To answer your question, when a person reaches level 99 in any one job, they unlock the skill ‘Extra Job’. I also understand that so jobs have 2nd or 3rd jobs as part of their skill set, but Extra Job, unlike most skills, is stackable. Presumably, if you lived long enough and killed long enough, you could equip dozens of jobs. Most people only obtain one other job in their lifeti. Not in Aberis, mind you, only a handful of people have beco dualists in Aberis, but in the north, it is far more common.”
She spoke casually as she ate, treating this all like general information, but it was the first ti I had heard a lot of this. Even the books I had found didn’t ntion things like that. Of course, I wondered what she’d think if I told her I could equip up to five jobs if I really wanted to. However, that was using the dungeon points to bypass the real system. What kind of concept was a person with a 100-level job? Wait! Did that an that Calypso…
“Um… My lady, how many jobs can you have at once … if I may ask.”
Calypso chuckled. “I have managed to acquire three at a ti. In a few years, it may be four.”
I gulped. I had to assu that she didn’t have a job like True Hero. That ant that she had at least two level 100 jobs, and a third one that would reach level 100 soon. Just how old was she to have so many jobs? My concept of strength in this world had once again been flipped on its head. I had always thought that the Demon King in the north was just a level 100 monster. Now, I had to expect that he likely had several level 100 jobs, each one filling him with different skills. The world was bigger than I ever imagined.
After we finished eating, Calypso left to do her Bandit King thing. She told that I wasn’t ready for that stuff. She said she’d take into a dungeon for training when the ti was right. For now, I was just responsible for cooking three als a day and having it ready whether she arrived or not. Once she was gone, I collapsed in the harem tent with a sigh.
“The way you talked to her, it almost felt like equals.” Siti said nervously. “I was shocked she didn’t take your head!”
I thought I had been very civil! Well, at least she seed to like my spirit, so I was safe for now. Instead, I decided to focus on escaping. The main thing I did was try to send a ssage outside to my girls. I could still feel the bond, but it felt distant and muted. I could feel that my ssages were being sent, but they didn’t seem to be getting them. This wasn’t the result of my mana not working. Rather, this was more akin to when the girls were too far away to receive the ssage.
That was impossible, of course. My bond had a very good distance, and that distance only increased as my levels did. The only ti my ability to contact them might be cut off is if I was receiving so kind of interference. The only ti that would happen that I knew of was when…
I bolted upright, causing Siti to nearly jump.
“What? What is it?”
“We…. We’re in a dungeon!”
