    Threadmarks: 1-10 Day Job

    Chapter Ten: Day Job "Dylan, I think there's one over here!" Following his girlfriend's pointed finger, he jogged over, his Clay ranked [Forager] [Job] letting him identify the faintly glowing flower, as well as have an idea on how to harvest it, even if it wasn't the Lead-level certainty...

    Chapter Nine: Gondolin Soon enough, they reached the 'Gate', only visible as their cart moved back and forth to get into position, the structure large and made of pearlescent stone, containing shimmering fluid, like a vertical pool, that rippled in response to seemingly nothing at all. Ivy...

    Chapter Eight: New Agartha The next few days, or cycles, passed by in a bit of a blur, as they were sent off to their rooms, with meals, and told to be ready to train the next day. Turns out, while [Job]s gave you skills, and abilities, they had to have something to work with, and while some...

    From the US Military, specifically the Navy SEALS. My dad, who was Air Force, says it a lot. Because I was wavering on the 'do I keep the names the same' thing, and, in publication, it might be something else like 'Professor Who' to keep the joke. It's an Indian name that translates roughly...

    Yes, except, remember, the harder you push yourself, the faster it develops, which is why they all got their first [Job] in ten minutes of furiously fighting for their lives, while the magic one from focused fucking about took hours (which is, itself, stupidly fast, and will slow way the fuck...

    So, as to the capability question, remember that a lot, if not most, [Job]s are non-combat oriented. Vey's [Hearthflame Priestess] is obviously combat capable, even if taken to Diamond, and [Arbalestier] is even more so, but a Diamond Rank [Polyglot] would be defenseless, and [Laundress] would...

    Chapter Seven: Spark Notes Looking around at the others, Dylan echoed, "Uh, Gods? Those are, uh, real?" Vey frowned, studying his expression, slowly asking, "How can you not know of the Gods, child?" Ivy rolled her eyes, "I don't know, maybe because we're 'Outlanders'? We don't know stuff...

    Okay, heard. The main issue is likely class size, because, honestly, it's Malik discovering more things (the binary nature of the Veil Light in the last chapter), Dylan just listens to other people, and is the only one who really listens to Malik. You're probably getting stereotypes because they...

    So, I mean this honestly, but which Tropes am I playing too straight that are bothering you, because I think I'm breaking as many, if not more, that I'm using normally, and all stories have some tropes in them, as there's so many it's impossible to tell a story without any, as attempting to do...

    Chapter Six: Back to School Soon enough they were done being violently ill, Thrain having waved someone over to get them water, to wash the taste of sick out of their mouths, all while they very carefully didn't look up. Meanwhile, the carts rolled past them, but had, in the distance, started...

    Chapter Five: The Morning After Sleep did not come easily. Which, considering everything that'd happened, Dylan should've expected. Thrain led them through the camp, as a whistle was blown from the commander, and everyone paused, before starting to move. They rapidly put things away...

    I'll be posting the 'rough' draft here, then Stub it after it's finished, leaving the first few chapters as an 'teaser', then, if I write a sequel, do it again. It's standard practice for Original Fiction, as publishers don't like having what they're asking you to buy up for free elsewhere...
