"Sense Danger...being able to perceive danger? Sound like a passive skill..."
"119400 XP left to use... Let′s see the cost of everything this first and then decided..."

"That′s a lot of Lv. 1 that I see there. Heck, the XP needed to level up increased by a whole another level!" Seeing the XP needed for all of this stuff I couldn′t help but curse internally.
Striking when you see my wallet full, huh?
"But still, it doesn′t look like I unlocked other skills to buy from my class advantage. Welp, nothing to be done I guess. I will just settle with the skills I got."
Although I said that I didn′t plan to increase the level of my skills first.
If I weren′t going to spend my XP to increase my skills level, then where will I spend it you ask?
Obviously.
To Increase my Level!
My goal...Level 20!
...
No, it isn′t because I am addicted to the evolution feeling!
Although I neither confirm nor denied it, I have a reason to increase my level!
Realy!
My goal isn′t to increase my attributes.
My true goal is to unlock the sub-class!
Although it is just a guess, I believe that at level 20 I can finally get my sub-class!
"Even if it isn′t at level 20, it has to be at best at level 23. If that Rapha guy who blew me away was able to get a subclass at the level of 23, then so should I..." Raising my hand I pressed towards the level-up screen.
[Level has increased from Lv.10 to Lv.11]
[Strenght Increased by 2, Agility Increased by 2, Intelligence Increased by 1, Endurance Increased by 2]
[You gained 2 Attribute points]
[Level Up]: 4000
"Oh? The attribute gains are a lot higher than before, even my intelligence increases now. Is it because of my evolution?" Seeing the attributes I got a little excited, but all that excitement has gone the moment I saw the +500 XP raise to level up...
Man, I know that you are after my wallet, but would it hurt to do it moderately!?
"Tch...It isn′t showing any mercy on my wallet..." Although I somehow felt grumpy about it. I had no other choice but to pay!
[Level has increased from Lv.11 to Lv.12]
[Level has increased from Lv.12 to Lv.13]
...
[Level has increased from Lv.19 to Lv.20]
[Strenght Increased by 18, Agility Increased by 18, Intelligence Increased by 9, Endurance Increased by 18]
[You gained 2 Attribute Points]
A total of 57500 XP spend in an instant!
But the pain that my wallet felt...
[In order to choose your Subclass, a mission has been assigned]
Was worth it!
[Mission: Kill someone who has a tier 2 class or a subclass to unlock the subclass option]
Reading through the mission I could only think of one thing...
"Ah, crap..." Seeing the mission I somehow felt bitter inside of me.
I hyped myself so much only to get an `access denied′ like answer!?
"Sigh...No point feeling upset over spilled milk. What is done is done."
Pushing away from the mission window, I looked at my XP storage.
[XP: 61900]
"Damn...I almost spend half the XP into this." I helplessly shook my head.
"I could increase my class level but I will pass this time around. After all, the skill also does need some love."
Without further ado, I started investing in my XP!
[You acquired Curse of Vigor Lv:1]
[Wind Blade level increase from Lv.1 to Lv.3]

"Alright, that should probably be enough for now. The rest 16825 XP I can save for rainy days. Wait...what was rain again...?"
Staring awarding through the cave ceiling I felt something was missing all of a sudden.
After some 5 long minutes, I got hold of myself.
"Right! I should prepare to leave" Getting of the stone table I gathered my thinks and went outside the cave.
"Alright!"
"Shield?" Check.
"Staff?" Check.
"Rusted armor?" Check.
"Awesome self-repair sword named Veren?" Check!
"I guess that′s it..." I slightly turned my head towards the shaman's cave.
"Although it wasn′t that long (I think)...It wasn′t that bad of a place to be"
With my shield on my left hand holding the casters staff and with my right arm holding the Veren sword I headed out fully equipped with some rusted armor from the head through toe!
You might ask where I got this garb- I mean armor from right?
Once upon these days when I was doing my breaks, I headed back into the lake to meet the skeleton that I freed before.
I mostly went out to meet him out of boredom but once I went back to the place he was trapped at I found no traces from this skeleton.
Although I felt somehow disappointed I mostly did it out of boredom so I didn′t mind too much.
But as I was going back to the surface a sudden idea hit me while looking at all the rusted armor down here.
And you guess right, I equipped the armor from the bottom of the lake into myself!
Since there was a vast amount of armor down there it made it possible to fully equipped me with rusted armor!
Not the best stuff.
But hey, Isn′t it better than just some piece of cloth that some goblins wore?
*2 Hours Later...
"Finally at the top floor where I was blown away..." Since my Agility has increased quite a lot it allowed me to reach the top floor faster than I had done before.
"Hmm, No sight of the Rapha guy or anything else...seems good to go" Walking away from the rock I was hiding at, I went out and explored the top floor.
But...
"There isn′t much to explore with only 1 path in sight. I somehow expected to see a similar number of paths at the top floor too but it doesn′t look like that is the case..."
After hesitating for a brief second, I walked towards the path.
"It should be fine...even If I were to meet this Rapha guy I should be able to easily win with my current self, the worst-case scenario I will have to run and dive to the lake again..."
After assuring myself I walked towards the path.
After walking for some amount of time I froze through the sight that I was seeing.
"That is a massive fricking gate!"
After all, a 10 meter high and wide iron door was in front of my sight!
*****
Outside the city of Nexvarres.
In the nearby forest of Nexvarres was a guard post that was placed at the Cursed Lake Dungeon.
A big orb inside a magic circle trembled.
And the orb started to make low noise.
*Ping, Ping~
Although slowly, the noise started to increase over time.
*Ping! Ping~!
Hearing that noise a soldier came and frown upon the sight of the orb
"What the....?"
