Today in the morning Ervas nced at his father status, after another day of handling the crops, he sneaked into the small shrine made for the Bright Gods and changed Jobs by touching the ''Job Changing Crystal''. ??
Jason had recently be an Apprentice Warrior, and then changed Jobs to Warrior. He had dedicated most of his life as a farmer, and so had several farmer Jobs, which did not offer anything rted to fighting, only increasing the efficiency in the handling of crops and his endless carrot supply.

He immediately noticed the great statistic jump his father experienced, which was because he had reached the Five Jobs barrier, and in such case, his stats would increase exponentially… though if he had started with battle-oriented Jobs from the start, the increase would be way more.
However, Jason was still particrly remarkable, especially his Health Points and Mana Points stat, which were abnormal for any human at his stage, most people would qualify him as a prodigy and perhaps a hero in the making by his stats alone.
"Even if the Viger and Farmer Jobs did not grant many stats, he still cultivated a lot of strength previously by working as hard as he had done, this is also shown on his strong arms and physique… I wonder if he will get even more ripped as he advances in Warrior-rted Jobs. Will I ever get as muscr? Well, it''s useless to think about that for now, I am two years old after all," thought Ervas.
As Ervas analyzed his father''s stats, he was multitasking by conjuring simple spells into the air almost subconsciously.
Ervas had reached a stage where he was capable of leaving all the Mana training to his own reflexes and a small area of his brain, which he put into ''auto mode'' by using ''Memory Retention'', inserting memories into that area of the brain and making it reproduce them automatically.
He had been doing this for many days by now, and every time Jason came back home, he would also begin the Mana Transfer and Mana Drain ritual, which Jason was mostly unaware of.
Jason felt the presence of his son''s re.
"Hm? You are awake, Ervas. Good morning my son," said Jason with a mild smile.
"I''ve been awake for more than an hour by now," said Ervas telepathically.
"Oh… It''s just that your presence is so dim sometimes…" apologized Jason.
"Don''t worry, I know that already. I don''t know why I am like this…" muttered Ervas.
"Well, don''t get all sad for something like that. I am sure that you will blossom as a charismatic young boy when you get older!" said Jason, with a gentle smile while patting his son''s silky ck hair.
"Blossom? Yeah, I suppose you might be right… I hope," said Ervas.
His father then kissed him on his forehead as he left the house to attend to the crops.
Ervas began to talk with Gaia in the meantime, while eating a fresh de Horned Rabbit killed by Jasonst night, he decided to just eat it all raw, without even butchering it.
He felt the fur getting on his tongue a bit, but aside from that, it was rather delicious. His powerful teeth and jaw were capable of triturating even the bones, so he even got arge quantity of calcium from eating this. Afterward, he sipped a bit of carrot juice and began his daily routine.
Training Magic, Commanding the nts to Hunt, crafting items, reading the book, and even cooking. He did many things at the same time, to the point that Ervas began to think that he was bing some kind of robot.
Ding!
[You acquired the [Parallel Thought Processing; Level 1] Skill!]
"So I finally got it, it was about time." Said Ervas, he wanted to smile but his face was always so stiff, it was awfully hard, a barely recognizable mild smile appeared instead, whichbined with his scarlet eyes made him look a bit creepy.
"Muh! Ervas! Ervas!" said Gaia, congratting Ervas.
"Thanks, I don???t think I would have been capable of getting it without your help," said Ervas, patting Gaia''s little leaf.
As Ervas began to multitask even more easily with this new Skill, he also wondered which names should he give to his tamed nt monsters.
In a few weeks, they had gone all the way from simple nts to Rank 2 nt-type monsters. He could not help but be very proud of them.
"I had already named the Vine as ''Ivy''… but what should the others be named…? Ugh, the Sticky Grasses are seven, I will just name the strongest sibling… and about the tree sprouts, I guess the two are something like twins?"
Ervas ended by naming the strongest Sticky Grass as ''Gwendolyn'' and the two Tree Sprouts as Ainsley and Alder. He thought that they were fitting names.
Afterward, as he was the ''master'' of his ''tamed'' nts, he was capable of freely seeing their status, so he checked them all.

[Digestion; Level 2]
[Stealth; Level 1] (New!)
[Projectile Fire; Level 1] (New!)
"Although they are all of the same Rank, Ivy seems to be clearly the strongest, she recently acquired skills such as Stealth and Projectile Fire. So she can easily slip through her foes senses or strike them down from afar by firing her poisonous spikes as projectiles… her new appearance resembles a snake, though she isn''t a reptile-type monster, the name of her race says that it''s a snake… it''s confusing, I know," thought Ervas.
[Name: Gwendolyn
[Race: Diabolic Sticky Grass
[Age: 0
[Titles: ''Tamed'' Monster.
[Type: nt/Dark.

[Digestion; Level 2]
[Parasite; Level 1] (New!)
"And this is Gwendolyn… She is not as strong as Ivy, but if she works together with her six other siblings, she is about as capable as Ivy- Hm? What is that Parasite Skill? I do not remember seeing it before…" said Ervas, ncing at Gaia.
"Muh?" asked Gaia.
"Well… I remember that there are parasitizing nts on Earth, is it the same here? I imagine it should be even worse because they are monsters and have a higher potential of growing in strength. I wonder how far is the extent of this Skill… could they parasitize people and control them from inside…? Ah, that''s a bit frightening, but particrly useful if possible," analyzed Ervas.
[Name: Ainsley & Alder
[Race: Malicious Tree Sprout
[Age: 0
[Titles: ''Tamed'' Monster.
[Type: nt/Dark.
[Rank: 2

[Physical Damage Resistance; Level 1] (New!)
[Active Skills]
[Charge; Level 1]
[Digestion; Level 2]
[Hardened Bark; Level 1] (New!)
"And the sprout twins… Unlike Ivy or Gwendolyn and her siblings, these two are oriented in defense and resistance… is it because their branches have begun to grow hard bark? This probably exins the ''Hardened Bark'' Skill as well, I never thought there would be such a skill, to begin with. They can produce Branches and Leaves as well, which they use to attack with ''Charge''… and they can produce sweet sap? I will have to ask them a bit then, I want to taste something sweet that isn''t just carrots," said Ervas.
"Muh, muh!" said Gaia.
"You want to try the sap as well? I do not know if you can even eat it… but maybe? It''s made out of nts, so perhaps?" wondered Ervas, as he rxed while talking with the little Life Spirit.
Meanwhile, as Ervas peacefully multitasked and grew stronger, the vigers of the Evergreen vige grew more and more suspicious.
A certain group of people led by the chief of the vige was discussing things inside their house.
