Dungeon of Chance: Even Odds: A Dungeon Core Novel (Serious Probabilities Book 1) by Jonathan Brooks (interesting books to read TXT) 📕

do is blow up and kill us all, but we all have Health Bands equipped.”

A month ago, that statement would’ve seemed insane, but the nature of their profession made such things commonplace.  Without any further ado, she mentally tapped the Mysterious Scroll and it appeared in her hands, replacing the Staff that was there a moment ago.  She was disappointed at first, as it looked exactly the same as it had before, but after a moment it started to shine.

The glow it emitted brightened considerably, though it wasn’t enough to blind her as she stared at the scroll’s parchment in fascination.  Where there was just gibberish and strange symbols before, they now seemed to morph and change into legible text and charts that described—

“Do you know what this is?!” Jeska shouted in wonder as she started to comprehend what she was seeing.

“No, we can’t see it.  Why don’t you tell us?” Rosara asked snippily as she folded her arms beneath her chest impatiently.

Jeska ignored the other woman’s attitude, since she was used to it by that point, as she continued to read what was in her hands.  “This is a scroll detailing every single hybrid Class that can be obtained through the use of various Class Orbs, as well as a sampling of the types of Skills that they will have access to,” she explained.

“What good does that do us?” Pascale asked.

What good?  Oh, he just doesn’t understand, does he?  Looking through the different Classes, she saw one that might make him understand a little bit better.  She flipped it around so that he could see it.

Class:

Dark Blood Assassin

Class Orb Requirements:

3 Scout – 1 Mage – 1 Healer

Class Skills (Sample):

Execute

Shadowstep

Siphon Health

Weaknesses:

Speed Reduction, Light Elemental Attacks,

“That’s…I don’t even know what to say…but I think I want it,” their Scout said wonderingly.  Jeska couldn’t blame him, because with this knowledge, they could start to customize their Classes to be more effective.  This was only 1 of the Hybrid Classes listed on the Scroll – there were dozens more.

As she continued looking, she saw something at the bottom that made her smile even more.

All Base Class Skills and equipment are still available when switching to a Hybrid Class, as long as those Skills are a part of the new Class.  (For example, becoming a Spellblade – 2 Fighter and 2 Mage Class Orbs – will allow you to use all Fighter and Mage Base Class Skills and equipment, but if you were a Scout before, those Skills and equipment would be unavailable for use.)

The possibilities blew her mind.  She relayed this note to the others, whose faces lit up with excited expressions.  “We’ve got to tell the others.  This is something that they need to know before they become too high of a Tier.”  Arcen didn’t even wait, he just marched out of the dungeon without seeing if anyone else was following.

She eventually did, but the others had to direct her because she was too busy looking at the Scroll to take too much notice of her surroundings.  This could really change things.  With this, we might just have a chance.

Things were a bit desperate before, but suddenly their prospects were looking up.  She wasn’t sure what the Scroll ultimately meant for the Heroes of Sunfall Island, but she sure was excited to find out.

As daylight hit her face as she walked out of the dungeon, she couldn’t help but smile and think towards the future.  And as much as she hadn’t been eager to delve through the dungeon again before, now she couldn’t wait to get back in there and start the next stage in her journey as a Hero.
