He was going to turn to the crab when something unexpected happened,for a second there his status window bugged.Intrigued,Baaz's brow arched in a worried face and stared at his status.This did not persist but il left changes on the screen as something knew appeared on it.
Yes,there on the screen, something had changed and Baaz was dumbfounded when he saw it, a new class had being added to the list.
[ Choose your class]
Swordsman
Warrior
Spearman
T@#R$%U@#$E $%:% B #$$#erserker
The class was difficult to get a hold of,it seemed as if something was interfering and messing with his status.He turned to his living encyclopedia
" What do you know about the Berserker specialization?"
Having his interest piqued a gleam appeared into the Crab's eyes,he quickly asked: " Young one,tell me what are the options that were given to you?"
" well,I actually received the Swordsman,the warrior, the spearman and an option that is kinda hard to read ,but I think it says Berserker something."
The crab stayed silent,for the next minute Baaz saw a very serious look pass on its face,He could instantly tell that for the first time since he met the Hermit Crab,it was really serious.As fleeting as it was the expression of seriousness quickly disappeared and the Hermit adopted a neutral look,for Baaz the Crab became even more mysterious.Alarmed Baaz quickly asked:
" Is there something with my class list?"
The Crab finally spoke and with its neutral voice he asked:
" Are you sure about what you told me?"
" About my class choice ?, Yes that is..."Before he could even articulate his answer the Crab cut him mid sentence
" I'm not talking about that.That last class option Are you sure it's a "Berserker" variant?
" I think so Baaz answered, it's not very clear but I'm ninety percent sure that it's what is written on it, why's the straight face?"
Here it was again,the serious face has resurfaced and this time,Baaz felt himself being inspected, as truly being inspected.He immediately put his guard up,it was true that if the Crab wanted it could kill him but that doesn't mean he will just sit here and take it laying down.Finally,the Crab sighed and it spokes,this time it's voice was heavy and a focused aura was emanating from him:
" Boy,I told you that I was not going to choose for you, but I will tell you this I am not very knowledgeable about your variant of the Berserker class and I'm not very fond of Berserkers but if I were to be you,I would without a doubt chose that class."
This time it was Baaz's turn to become serious.His brows furrowed and unknowingly his eyes became sharp and his entire demeanor changed,he went from nonchalant to focused in the blink of an eye,changes that did not escape the eyes of the observant crab.

The sun was on its way down when the spider arrived at its destination, it was still panting but to the spider none of that was important,it had to report what happened.It stopped before a big cave,contrary to the goblin village that was located in a cave,this one wasn't very large but it could still allow a big of its size and even bigger ones to enter.Once inside,it started escalating one of the walls.
If someone had entered the cave,it would have found it of mild interest,the cave wasn't that large, it wasn't bright with only a high concentration of mana,but what really made this cave inhospitable was the poisonous mist that you could find inside it.It was so potent that even mid ranked monsters did not venture into it.
Yes those were what a normal person would see,but what would happen if a high leveled being was here? Or if a veteran adventurer came ? They would only need to scan the place and they'll raise their head and look up.
Let's imagine this,a cave which can impair your vision,that seems mid in size but if one were to look up,most people would realize that the whole mountain was hollow.Big spider webs were everywhere,and people with a keen sense of observation would notice one thing,it is that the higher you go, you will notice that the webs become denser. So not only the mountain was hollow but every now and then you will see that a cave was dug and in front of every cave webs were placed there defending the cave in question.
Used to this,the spider continued his ascension, as time passed he was exposed to pressur at diverse times as more than once has he felt gazes landing on itself but after confirmation they backed away leaving it alone.After some time,he finally reached his goal that was the biggest cave that one could find.Its diameter was very close of the goblin's.Inside, in a dark room filled with such corrosive that even it hesitated to enter ten pairs of eyes opened and then were directly fixed on it.The spider bowed down and said:
" Mother,something happened."

Baaz sill had questions, even though he received the advice of the old Crab,he did not precipitate, you would think that he would do as he was told but no he didn't. He knew that when he selects his path,he will instantly felt the changes,closing its eyes,he was delving in his thoughts, thinking about how he was waiting for this feeling of becoming stronger and the skills that he was going to get that he was jolted awake by the next words that the Crab uttered.
"I know I've been saying that a lot but I found you very refreshing as a demon,your path should be a very unusual one to walk on so before ejecting you,I would like to gift you a weapon from my collection."
A weapon,Balthazar was immediately excited.The old Hermit was going to offer him a weapon. He was already laughing in his mind, he already knew that the Crab was a powerful individual so what kind of weapon will he be given? Maybe he could choose a game-ending sword to slay everything in his path.A greedy look appeared on its face as he left everthing he was doing to focus on what the Crab was going to offer him.
"Hahaha, look at you,already leaving what you were doing,you greedy bastard but I think you'll be disappointed you'll only get D ranked weapons or maybe a C ranked too."Said the Crab pleased with the eagerness he saw in Baaz.
Whithout any warning a bunch of weapons appeared out of thin air and were displayed, there was some that Baaz didn't even know the name of.He could see staffs,daggers,longswords,shortswords,Shields,axes,bows,spears and even greatswords.They were mysteriously hovering above the ground as if they were attached to invisible lines.Seeing him making a bewildered face the Crab decided to provide him with some information.
" Those are the deifferents weapons that I currently possess that could be of a great help for you.Heck some even outclass by a large margin what someone like you should have access to.So when you're done here don't go around showing off with the weapon you'll pick or you could not survive the night."
" That's it"asked Baaz
" What, boy don't tell me that you want me to spoon-feed you,if so then I'm going to show you the door."
" geez, old Crab no need to try to scare like that, I had already understood since the last time that you said it. I was talking about that." He gestured in direction of the various weapons floating not too far.
"Oh, so you wanted to know about how I can make these weapons float,well that's not too hard though but likely impossible for the current you so don't torment yourself, time's running so I suggest you to quickly choose a weapon."
Balthazar sighed,it was obvious that the Crab didn't want to tell him about the magic behind the floating weapons so he took a good look at them and again turned to him.
" well I'm now lost,I don't have any idea of what weapon to pick,care to enlighten me."asked Baaz
" Now young one, I can't help you,it should be easy given the classes that you want to pick,so just feel it."
" What the hell is even that?"said a Baaz giving the crab a judgmental look.
"Don't worry, just feel it." Said the Crab slightly embarrassed.
Focusing on the weapons ,Baaz once again sighed and decided to inspect them with care and tried to choose based on his knowledge of how the differents class he was given usually fight.
