Awakening Talents, an interesting capability that people of this world might be able to achieve if they have enough power and reach the max level in their current Talent. It is not something I know much about, but perhaps Ellergest has awakened his Talent for all I know. But what I have never heard about was… two Talents.
In this Grimoire, Talents are called “Classes”, and aside from the first Class, there is also a Subclass. Literally, a second Talent that one can have. Is it possible for someone to have two simultaneous talents at the same time? It was incredibly intriguing to me, and I wished I could ask away to knowledgeable people about it, but I didn’t had the time to go talk with the priests yet.
I quickly decided to keep looking at the pages, as they changed their information over time, showcasing new things I had not seen before. The Grimoire, as if reading my mind, began to explain to me what Classes and Subclasses were.
[Classes and Subclasses are regarded as [Talents] in the world, and you can change them each time you reach max level. Usually, into a higher-grade Talent, which people might refer as [Talent Awakening]
[Main Classes] are special Talents that are designed mostly for main things, such as combat or enhancing, protecting, or creating things. Meanwhile, [Subclasses] are made to support the Main Class. They’re not as strong, but they’re vital to enhance the main talent so it can showcase new capabilities].
[Classes and Subclasses come with their own Special Skills which can be learned through leveling or constant practice of certain actions. Additionally, Talents grant a passive boost to the activities related to the Talent]
[Display Available Classes and Subclasses?]
“Display.”
The Grimoire once more began to move its pages, until we arrived at two pages showing words in them, arranged together were the names of Talents. There were three Main Classes and three Subclasses, they all were one star.

Nothing related to Blood or Ki, huh? I guess there is not a big availability of Talents as I had originally thought. In fact, this is quite disappointing, I would had wanted something like [Blood Magician] or at the very least [Martial Artist] but I seem to not have the knack for either of the two. What I have was Spear User, Apprentice Magician, Invoker, Farmer, Fisherman, or Alchemist. Interesting. The first option that comes to mind is picking Spear User and using the Talent to enhance my ability to use the Spear Techniques.
I can guess that Apprentice Magician would be nice if I want to enhance my ability with magic and perhaps try to conjure Tier 2 Magic, but for that I better create a Magic Circle inside my Soul first. Meanwhile, Invoker… Is this something like Summoner? Maybe a lesser version of it, perhaps.
And then there are the Subclasses, I can say that all Talents I got are merely related with things I’ve done, except fishing, I don’t remember fishing at all. Is this something completely new, perhaps? It is interesting what a Fisher could do with Skills and all… But there isn’t a large Lake nearby, only rivers, I can’t fish anything big or interesting unless I find a large lake or go to the sea. Lastly, there is Farmer and Alchemist. I can guess Farmer is because I’ve been tending the crops for my parents using magic so I can enhance the soil and make the crops grow faster and healthier too. And then Alchemy because I practice it, obviously.
I have to think this through. These two Talents might be what I am stuck with for a long time. Seeing how it took me three years to reach Level 10, there’s nothing telling how long I might take leveling all the way to 20 without enough resources. I might reach the age of 10 and enter the academy and still without reaching level cap due to the low availability of monsters, wild beasts, or demons in the forest. Now that we killed hundreds of them, it might get harder to find prey. And if I overhunt the wild monsters too much, they won’t reproduce and make things harder for the hunters and the villagers that find sustainability with them.
[Compared to Main Classes which require to kill monsters to gain EXP, Subclasses grant the special ability to passively gain EXP by doing the actions related to them]
[For example: Fishing for the Fisherman Talent, Farming for the Farmer Talent, or creating items through alchemy and gathering valuable and rare resources for the Alchemist Talent]
Oh? This is new! So Subclasses can gain EXP not by killing but through other means? Wait, are Subclasses and Main Classes levels separated?
[Subclasses and Main Classes Levels are the same level of the user]
I see… The Grimoire has become rather talkative. Did it gained the ability to answer basic questions regarding the details of the powers it gives?
[Affirmative. You may call me [Guider], I am an artificial magical intelligence, or AMI for short. I am here to answer the holder of the [Grimoire]’s questions regarding the powers the Book may grant, and the various abilities within it, or anything regarding the Status]
Interesting. The Grimoire was able to speak directly to me through writing letters over the pages with a magical, red-colored paint which dissipated a few seconds after forming words. It also seems to be able to read my thoughts… It is convenient, but also slightly frightening.
[Fear not, AMI does not intrude into the wielder’s personal life. AMI is only interested in aiding the wielder’s in learning and comprehending the power of the Grimoire]
Hm, don’t read my mind unless I ask you a question directly.
[Understood]
At the very least it is quite serviceable and lacks a personality. The probability of revolving and annoying me seem small. I hope it continues like this, to be honest.
