Re: Apocalypse Game

Vicky's irritation was palpable as Luis announced her shopping plans with Alan to the group. She exclaimed, "Why are you all joining as well? It's a three-day break! You can always shop tomorrow!" Her disapproval was directed at Luis, who seemed to be the instigator, but it didn't deter the others – Daniel, Milo, Kenny, and Izzi – from joining in on the shopping spree.

Just when the shopping plans couldn't seem to get worse, Alan invited Marsh and Bill to tag along, citing an important coordination matter. This further disrupted Vicky's expectations.

However, Vicky's annoyance quickly dissipated when Izzi, always considerate, chimed in with, "Sister, you don't want Izzie to come with you?"

Vicky backtracked immediately, dismissing her initial irritation. "No, Izzie, of course not. I was just kidding." Despite her reassurance, her eyes still held a lingering glare at Luis.

The group made their way towards the mid-deck of the cruise, a section bustling with various shops. These onboard shops resembled the facilities found in port towns, albeit on a smaller scale. Each one a beacon of temptation for the survivors fresh from the latest round of the Apocalypse game. It was a shopping haven, a respite from the challenges they had faced.

It was clear that excitement and anticipation danced in their eyes. They had accumulated a substantial number of survival points and rank rewards during their previous round, and the prospect of spending these resources in the various shops was tantalizing.

Alan, offered a gentle reminder, saying, "Remember, don't waste your points on something you don't need." However, his words seemed to fall on deaf ears as Vicky eagerly pulled his arm and dragged him towards a shop with a sign that read "Job Class."

"This one!" she said enthusiastically. In the last town, Vicky had been just a level short of acquiring this job class upgrade, so she was clearly excited about the prospect.

They were greeted by a beautiful NPC. Her warm smile added to the sense of anticipation as she welcomed them, saying, "Good afternoon, players. Are you here to acquire your first job? You may enter if you have reached level 10."

[Alan D Angello - Level 31: 109,550/120,000]

[Victoria Collins - Level 27: 54,650/60,000]

[Milo Tagliano - Level 26: 48,380/50,000]

[Daniel Judge - Level 25: 44,220/45,000]

[Marshall 'Marsh' Weimer - Level 25: 43,520/45,000]

[Kenny Reese - Level 24: 39,280/40,000]

[Isabella 'Izzie' Montague - Level 24: 37,130/40,000]

[Luis Pena - Level 23: 34,100/35,000]

[Bill Rhoades - Level 21: 25510/28000]

Alan observed the dynamics among his comrades. He, Milo, Daniel, and Marsh already had their job classes selected back in Port Town, so the choices today rested in the hands of Vicky, Luis, Bill, Kenny, and Izzie. These five were the ones who hadn't undergone their job class change yet.

As Vicky remained deep in contemplation, Luis approached Alan with an eager expression. "Which one should I choose, Senor Alan?"

Alan took a moment to consider Luis's options. For Luis, he could recommend either the [Scholar] class, which would grant him additional intelligence attributes and stamina, benefiting his culinary skills and support capabilities, or the [Rogue] class, which would boost his agility, making him more adept at combat while still supporting the group. It was a choice between specialization and versatility.

Without much hesitation, Luis made his decision. "Rogue it is!" His excitement for action and adventure had always been a defining characteristic, and this class choice reflected his eagerness to dive headfirst into the thick of things.

[Congratulations, You are now a Rouge]

When the name entered his game link status, Luis couldn't help but smile and say, "Is 'rogue' the same as 'thief'? Ay No!, my Nana will kill me!"

Bill the CEO, on the other hand, exhibited a contrasting demeanor, opting for the [Scholar] job class, as per Alan's recommendation. He had no plans for direct action and intended to focus on a supporting role.

When it came to Izzie, Kenny stepped in to assist her in making her selection. Considering her affinity for magic and her overall safety, they chose the [Acolyte] job class to further enhance her magical abilities.

As for Kenny himself, he picked the [Knight] class, a surprising choice that caught Alan's attention. It left him wondering whether Kenny's decision was influenced by the information about the upcoming round that Alan had shared with him earlier.

Amidst the variety of job class options, Vicky found herself torn between two choices: the [Soldier] class, which would enhance her firearm skills, and the [Acolyte] class, which would allow her to delve into the realm of magic. With genuine confusion in her eyes, she turned to Alan for guidance.

Alan took the time to address her dilemma, considering her unique [Gifted] skill. He explained that unless she intended to become a specialized magic user, choosing [Acolyte] might not be necessary. Her innate talent allowed her to excel in various areas without the need for a magic-focused class.

Vicky contemplated his words and asked, "So, which one do you think suits me best, Alan?"

Taking a moment to ponder her character and capabilities, Alan made his suggestion. "You like fighting with swords, right? I'd recommend choosing [Knight]. Plus, I might have something special in mind for you in the next round."

The word "special" seemed to resonate with Vicky, and she quickly settled on the [Knight] class. Alan anticipated a secret quest tailored to her, and even if it didn't pan out, the added HP and defense buffs that came with being a knight could significantly contribute to her survival in the game.

With everyone having made their job class selections, Vicky turned her attention to Alan and inquired, "What about you, Alan?"

As a player who had surpassed level 30, Alan had the unique opportunity to choose a second basic job from the pool: [Knight], [Warrior], [Rogue], [Acolyte], or [Soldier]. Alternatively, he could explore advanced job class options. He approached the machine panel, and a message flashed before him.
