Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

What does Level 5 mean?

It was probably a transformation from an apprentice into a true mage; at least in some stories, it was the beginning.

Late at night, Victor leaned back in a wooden chair in the storage room, thinking to himself.

He glanced at the senior student who had fallen asleep on the table, exhausted from lecturing him once again, then slowly got up and walked out of the room.

He closed the door behind him and sat down on the bench once more, looking at the experience pool in the [Ring of Self] with a strange expression.

Experience Pool: 8423/6500

"Wow, that was fast!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but recall what his senior had told him during the potions course: that after that big guy was killed, his body produced many useful items.

Miles took those things to be appraised and won't be back until tomorrow.

This had given him a little bit of hope.

Before Miles could return, Viktor, distracted during the lecture, discovered he was about to advance to level 5 when he opened his equipment inventory.

"That 'Avatar of Greed' has probably undergone some kind of mutation; its physical structure is significantly different from what my senior described. It will definitely grant a large amount of experience."

While saying this, Viktor never forgot his learning experience and the improvement of his combat skills, which were the main reasons for his rapid increase in experience.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his equipment inventory and saw that there were still many baked noodle rings left, all of which had been restored to their complete forms.

He used his willpower to scroll up the list, but he didn't find the item he wanted.

"Strange, why don't I see any job postings available..."

Viktor muttered to himself, then remembered that the class orb would only appear in his equipment slot every 5 levels.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and immediately used the experience he had accumulated in the experience pool.

The moment experience points decrease, the Self-Ring panel automatically pops up, and the attributes on the panel appear.

[Class: Curse Mage]

Level: 5

Experience Pool: 1923 / 14000

Assignable attribute points: 0 → 2

Perception: 17 (Two lifetimes)

Intelligence: 16 (Crossing the threshold)

Charisma: 16 (Exceptional Talent)

Strength: 9 (Insufficient strength)

Agility: 13 (Crossing the threshold)

Physical condition: 13 (crossing the threshold)

】

Viktor glanced around casually and noticed that his attribute points had increased from 0 to 2 again, so he casually put those two points into Intelligence.

Intelligence: 16→18 (Apprentice)

It's unclear how the "Self-Discipline" rating is determined. Even though it has already reached a respectable value of 18, it still gives it a beginner level rating.

"..."

Viktor smiled.

This makes sense. The intellectual demands of a so-called "magician" are naturally unmatched by other professions, and the improvement of intelligence can be directly reflected in "numerical values".

As he was thinking this, the equipment panel popped up right after the Ring of Self.

Then, Victor saw the prop he had been longing for.

【Profession Gem (Colorful)】

Without even reading the instructions, Viktor's eyes lit up when he saw this thing, as if he were seeing a long-lost friend.

From the moment he obtained the first gem, he knew that he could have at least five professions in his life.

And what we have now obtained is the second one.

"Aside from my relatively weak strength, all my other attributes are at least 13 points. Will I have more job options now?"

However, when Victor took out the jewel that shone with dazzling light and held it in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh.

Perception: [Priest] [Druid]

Agility: [Wanderer] [Ranger]

Charisma: [Warlock] [Sorcerer] [Paladin] [Bard]

Intelligence: [Mage] [Magic Craftsman]

The pop-up window still showed the same ten available professions as last time, with no particularly rare ones.

To his surprise, even though he had already become a [Mage], he could still choose Mage as his second profession.

"It seems a bit too early for me to choose to become a magic tool craftsman. My research on magic potions is still at a very basic level."

Muttering to himself, he couldn't help but glance at the various professions again.

In fact, at present, the Priest, who can increase the margin for error, and the Sorcerer, who uses magic power in combat, are both good choices.

pity......

The attributes required for these two professions are not "intelligence," but rather "perception" and "charisma."

Looking at his Charisma stat of 17, Victor didn't hesitate and looked away, then chose the [Mage] class.

He was genuinely curious about what would happen if a mage had a second class with the same profession.

"Whether they can be added together or multiplied is hard to guess."

As he muttered this, he saw the professional orb in his hand slowly float up and fly towards his forehead.

However, unlike the first time they merged, this pearl did not bring about any changes after entering his body.

Just as Viktor was feeling puzzled, a "hiss" sound suddenly rang in his mind, and he immediately felt a heat rising all over his body.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the equipment bar pop up again!

[Fire element pattern detected]

The second profession, "Mage," has begun to mutate.

As Viktor watched these words appear in the corner of his equipment inventory, he felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.

It's here! This is the real job change!

Hidden professions are here!

The mage has mutated into: "Blazing Flame Mage"

Instantly, Victor felt as if his left arm was on fire, and the hidden fire elemental patterns reappeared, intertwining with the original curse power within his body.

"hiss......"

The two were not very compatible to begin with, but now the professional orb forcibly fused them into his body, causing Viktor to gasp in surprise.

However, with his extraordinary willpower, despite the crimson flames burning in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Snapped!"

But as the burning sensation in his left arm spread to his chest and then to his right shoulder, he finally couldn't help but slam his hand on the armrest.

In an instant, cracks appeared in the wooden handrail, but Victor continued to hold on to it. Instead of being crushed by the sudden force, a murky gas slowly rose up.

If someone were to use their magical vision to look at him at this moment, they would see that Victor is currently bathed in a sea of ​​fire, but a ghostly green gas is intertwined within this sea of ​​fire.

That was the power of the curse instinctively defending its territory, colliding with the newly arrived blazing flames.

But as time went by, these two forces seemed to undergo some subtle changes.

The eerie green gas entangled in the sea of ​​fire somehow merged into one flame after another.

"laugh......!"

At the handrails that Victor was gripping, a wisp of eerie green flame slowly emerged.
