Following the older woman back to the guild building located at the center of Restol village. Claire was trying her best not to watch the woman walk. Her toned back and shapely ass bounced slightly as she walked. Claire cursed her new appendage under her breath.
It was only when they passed the Bree Tavern that she was distracted from Elizabeth's butt. She could finally partake in the excitement that took place in there. She had a smug smile on her face as she imagined what it would be like.
Neither of them noticed Jasmine tailing them. Jasmine was just as excited for Claire to receive her class. She had put aside quite a few opportunities to train Claire. It had been 5 years since she returned to Restol. 5 years since Ryley was taken. She looked at Claire with pride, remembering what state she was in all those years ago.
Jasmine reminisced about Claire's first time swordfighting and teaching her footwork. To the first time she saw Claire smile in months. That day is what made her decision to stay in this village worth it. She swore to herself that she'd bring that smile back permanently.
It made her growing feelings awkward. She did not know if they were feelings of familiarity or growing feelings of attraction. Either way, the assassin was confused.
Stuck deep in her thoughts, Jasmine nearly got caught. Her foot barely missed a twig, threatening her position. She cursed at herself. To think, an experienced assassin like herself almost made a noise while trailing her target. When was the last time she was this close to being caught or making a noise?
She chuckled and hid behind a tree right outside the guild hall. She only wanted to see the reactions of Claire, knowing her class was up to Claire's decision.
Claire took a deep breath in front of the guild's door, wondering what was waiting for her. She took a step through the door and followed the chief into her office. Before her was a dark, wooden desk with two chairs facing on either sides. Papers and quills were scattered on the desk, and a magical device in the center.
"Sit please," Elizabeth ordered.
"Yes, ma'am," Claire said. She sat before the device, taking in its details. A right-hand outline with gemstones on the tip of each finger connected to mana circuits. Those ran to a secondary device, one that looked to attach to a person's left hand. Both objects were connected to a third, with a third handprint on it.. One that Claire assumed Elizabeth would use to power the device.
"Put your hand in this," She said as she held up the second device.
It looked almost like an inflated glove. Claire hesitantly put her hand into the glove-like device. She felt a prick as the pinpoint that'd add her class to her stat sheet pierced her finger. A sheet only she was able to access, tethered to her own soul.
"Next, set your right hand on this," Elizabeth said. She pointed to the first device.
With more confidence, Claire set her hand on the first device and took a deep breath. Closing her eyes, she waited. A flash of light penetrated her eyelids, causing her to open them. A pain shot from the back of her hand as the second device clamped down on her hand. It sent a jolting feedback throughout her body before rapidly calming down.
With a surge of mana in her eyes, she opened her stat sheet.
Paladin of Virility: Carry out the Goddess's will as her chosen champion.
So She's the Goddess of Virility? No god or goddess she could recall had an aspect of virility. She knew the goddess of fertility, but this aspect wasn't one of her domain. But it did explain her new addition. Shifting in her seat, she continued.
Claire:
Level: 1
HP: 20/20
Mana: 10/10
Exp: 0
Bestower of the Goddess: Spread her gift to Lovers. Consuming your sexual fluids allows other women to grow a penis. Accepting the gift makes them a Bestowed Lover.
Buff of the Bestower: Gain power through spreading her gift. Gain additional stats in the Bestowed Lover's primary stat and vice versa. Buff increases with the bond formed between bestower and bestowed.
Aura of the Bestower: Bestowed Lovers within the Bestower's vicinity gain defense, resistance and healing over time. Healing and stat buffs increase with the Paladin's defense and resistance stat.
Defensive Strike: Channel your defense into a powerful counterattack. Power increased with defense and the target's strength. (Higher defense than the target's strength increases the damage) Cooldown 5s
Her eyes widened, and her breath caught. She had three skills that were completely different from what she was expecting. The fourth one was a common defensive-based class skill, but the other three made her mind fuzzy. Just thinking about the first skill, about spreading "the gift," made her cock perk up between her legs. Taking a deep breath and ignoring thinking of the other skills for now, she moved on to her stats.
Stats:
Strength: 6
Magic: 1
Dexterity: 4
Resistance: 7
Constitution: 6
Wisdom: 4
Charisma: 4
Divinity: 5
Defense: 8
Thankfully, her stats came out normal. Having low magic made sense, as most healing and buffs come from the divinity stat. Magic was more for elemental, illusion, or summoning-based magic. Everything else seemed normal. Her defense and resistance stats being high made sense as her class was more of a frontliner. Everything else looked normal.
After finishing her examination of the stat sheet, she closed her eyes and had it disappear. Looking into the older woman's deep blue eyes, she finally spoke. "I received a Paladin class that focuses on defense and buffing my allies."
Elizabeth smiled, showing off the wrinkles of age on her face, "A paladin is a bit surprising, never took you for a religious type."
"I'm not, not more than any other. Don't even know the name of the goddess I'm sworn to." Claire responded nervously. She knew she could trust the mayor, but she didn't know if she should say it was an entirely new Goddess.
"Maybe future skills will reveal her name," she said. Her eyes seemed to zone out to a thousand-yard stare as she pursed her lips.
Claire could only guess what the lady was thinking. She was waiting for questions about her skills or what stat she specialized in, but none came. After a prolonged pause, she focused back on Claire.
"No need to worry right now, you should be celebrating!"
