There was a long line of words in front of me when I opened my eyes.

It was so overwhelming. I had blacked out for a couple of seconds. Even when I came to myself, it was hard to do so.

I could read them now, but these emotions made it hard.

So, I decided to feel the changes, rather than reading them. I understand the skills better this way than just reading the names.

It is how I used to understand before I learned how to read.

“It happened finally,” I said as I felt the change in my class. I had been waiting for it for more than a year, and now, it has happened, and the result is better than I had thought.

I would see how different Wildlander Survivalist is from Officer, so it will take a while for them to merge.

I thought it would first change before merging, but it seemed like I was wrong.

The new class also feels more powerful than my old Wildlander Survivalist.

The advancement had also erased another worry.

I was worried that it might take away my inheritance skills as I pivot from my ancestors’ path, but my skills have advanced, becoming more than before.

Survivor’s Healing and Survivor’s Protection had turned into Wildheart’s Healing and Wildheart’s Protection.

Now, they are complete inheritance skills such as Rhythm of Wild. I had also gotten the Fourth Inheritance Skill.

Many of my skills have advanced, and some have merged to form new ones. That feels far more powerful than their older version.

Hard Practice, which was my training skill, had become Muscle Memory.

I have read about this skill; it is indeed a valuable one. Some of the people I know possess it.

I am very excited about it, because Hard Practice has already helped me tremendously. Muscle Memory is going to help me even more.

The Officer’s Command had become Swift Orders. It is a more powerful version of the old skill.

Keen had evolved into sharpness, but later merged with another skill.

I turned to Iron Discipline, the new skill I got from Elite Officer, which had become even more powerful under Wildheart Commander.

Many officers possess this skill, and I am pleased to have it as well.

I have very few army skills.

It is due to the inherited skills; those who possess them receive fewer skills than those who do not.

This may not be rare, but it is a beneficial skill, and for a new officer like me with little experience. It will be helpful.

I felt the skills for a while before turning to the skills that were upgraded and merged under my new class.

My two inheritance skills, which were previously half-inheritance skills, are now full-inheritance skills, and they are very powerful. I’m eager to test them.

My parry skill, Officer’s Parry, has turned into Wild Parry, and it feels powerful.

Thunderous Charge becomes Feral Charge. It feels rugged, but Feral Word has made me a little worried. It is not the only skill that has got that word.

I have a few army skills, and I hope it didn’t deviate too from the original.

I liked the original one, quite a lot.

The same with Rallying Cry turning into Howling Cry. It became powerful, but it made me worried.

Wildswing and Sharpness had merged, turning Razorwing Edge. I liked the name and the feel of it, so I want to test it immediately.

Wild Dash and Officer’s Run had turned into Feral Blitz. Once more, the word ‘feral’.

I could see the intensity of these skills, but also the wildness that I wanted to leave behind; however, here they have come in shining glory.

I will test them, and if there is unpredictable quality, I will bring it under control.

I pushed the worried thoughts away and turned to the last skill. The only new skill I got from my new class is an inheritance skill.

It feels very powerful, and it is an army skill. Which surprised me, but I’m glad to have an army skill and an inheritance one at that.

It is the skill that excited me most, and I want to test it as soon as possible.

My other skills, like Rhythm of Wild, Barrage of Steel, and a few others, remained the same, but only in name. They have transformed with the new class, becoming more powerful.

Especially the Rhythm of Wild.

It was always powerful; now it is even more powerful. My three inheritance skills couldn’t hold a candle to it. It’s that powerful.

Class and skills aren’t the only things I have gained. I had levelled up, finally reaching Lv. 30, and with it, I got the attribute points, a lot of them.

I got six from the Wildheart Commander and one from the Elite Officer.

If it had been one or two, I knew where to put them; I would have done that already, but seven made things a little tricky.

Hun!

I was thinking about that when the Rhythm of Wild sang, it was the clearest and loudest ever.

More than it was in the wild.

Though I was amazed only for a moment, before I focused on the spike and the feeling it gave me, I realized it belonged to only one person.

I opened my eyes and tried to get up.

“Stay, the doctor said, you had nearly recovered, but he is keeping you in bed for today,” said the bronze-skinned man as he stepped inside the room.

“General,” I greeted. I didn’t stand up, but I did sit on the bed.

I am in the hospital, in a small room, which felt even smaller with his presence, as it seemed to fill the whole room.

“How are you feeling, Orok?” he asked. “I could fight another battle, General,” I replied, and immediately, it brought memories of the battle.

The people who had lost their lives due to me.

“I had made terrible mistakes in the battle; many people had lost their lives due to it,” I said. I still remember their dead bodies as if it were only minutes ago.

“I am willing to accept any punishment you have for me,” I added sombrely.

I don’t want to lose my position or be assigned anywhere else, but I had made a mistake, and a lot of people lost their lives due to it.

I slowly looked at him, expecting disappointment, but there was only a smile.

“You had fought against two Lv. 30s, including a High-Mage. Many of our Lv. 30’s and pre-Lv. 30’s died facing the enemy High-Mages, and a lot of their people were killed,”

“You, on the other hand, killed the High-Mage as well as a Lv. 30 warrior, despite not being Lv. 30.”

“Yes, you made mistakes, but not big enough to warrant any punishment.” He replied, and I felt relieved, but the weight of the deaths remained on my shoulders.

He seemed to understand that as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

“If you still feel guilty, then train harder with your men. Tomorrow, you will leave for Grelheaven. We had prepared special training for you,” he added.

“Thank you, General,” I said after a moment of silence, while he smiled.

“Congratulations on your level-up. You have reached Lv. 30, finally,” he congratulated. “Yes, it happened,” I replied, and a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face.

…

Ashton Harbor

“Will he survive?” asked the Armored Man, looking at the unrecognisable body of Yark.

He is burned deeply from head to toe, with a potent fire. If I hadn’t used my Protection of Knight, he would have turned to ashes on the battlefield.

Still, he could die; the chances of it are very high.

“I have done what I can; now it is up to him,” the man with the staff replied.

He sounds tired; he is. For hours, he had been working on Yark, casting spell after spell, feeding him potions and other things to save him.

“That artifact had truly messed him up,” I said with a sigh. My skill isn’t weak, but despite that, the enemy had brought him to the death’s door.

“It’s draconic flames, they are extremely dangerous,” replied the man with the staff.

He knows that very well. He had fought against the draconic artifacts.

Minutes passed, and we watched in silence before we walked toward the door, leaving him to fight for his survival.

We had reached the door and were about to step out when we both suddenly stopped. There was shock on our faces, but a moment later, smiles lit up.

“The region is ours, nobody will be able to stop us now!” the armored man stated, looking at the burned body with pride and hope.
