Naruto POV

"We're adventurers now! Does this make you pumped up, Naruto?" Kurama asked, excitement evident in his voice. The fox had only experienced being an adventurer through RPG games, and seeing it come to life made him eager.

Naruto chuckled in agreement. "Yeah… I can’t wait to try out these new skills."

He had spent a long time choosing his job since all of them offered unique abilities and powers. Each option was tempting, but here were some of the standouts:

Dark Lord: This job enhanced Naruto’s affinity for darkness and his demonic form. It granted terrifying abilities like consuming enemies' souls to absorb their powers. Additionally, his mere presence could weaken enemies, cause widespread fear, and even resurrect fallen foes as undead soldiers.

Doom Bringer: A fire-based role that amplified his ability to wield hellfire—flames from the Seven Hells. The ultimate skill, Doom, Inflicts a curse that dispels an enemy and prevents them from casting spells or healing in any way, while taking damage over time. Burned their body and soul into nothingness.

Hope Bringer: Kurama called this the "Power of Friendship Job." The more people believed in him, the stronger he became. This role granted Guardian of Hope, an ability to inspire courage, heal allies, and bolster morale in a wide radius.

Ashura the Destroyer: This boosted Naruto’s raw strength dramatically, especially in a rage. The unique ability, Ashura Wrath, turned his anger into a force capable of leveling battlefields.

Emperor of Shadow: This role allowed Naruto to command shadows, including his enemies'. It reminded him of Shikamaru's shadow jutsu but on a much grander scale.

Lord of Nature: A perfect fit for his Sage Mode. Naruto could connect with nature itself, summon armies of treants, and heal allies using Tranquility, a large-scale nature-based healing skill.

"With all these options… I’m glad I didn’t have to pick blind," Naruto muttered, still feeling the weight of his decision.

Satria POV

"Why did you pick that job, puppy? Are you sure about it?" Fatalis, his ever-snarky partner, asked skeptically.

"Why not? It sounds cool," Satria replied nonchalantly, a confident smirk on his face.

Like Naruto, Satria had several powerful and bizarre job options to consider.

Dragon Knight: This job granted him incredible regeneration, unmatched strength, and advanced swordsmanship. What made it truly unique? He could transform into a dragon.

Omni Knight: Essentially a holy warrior—a paladin. He could manipulate light energy to heal allies and weaken dark-element enemies. His ultimate skill, Guardian Angel, made his allies and him immune to physical damage for ten seconds.

Silencer: A nightmare for magic users. Every enemy he killed increased his intelligence and magical power. His ultimate skill, Global Silence, disabled all magic worldwide for five seconds. For someone as fast as Satria, five seconds was an eternity to take down opponents.

Outworld Destroyer: This job transformed intelligence into raw destruction. Using Arcana Energy, Satria could shatter minds, steal mana, and obliterate enemies with Sanity Eclipse—a devastating attack based on the difference in mana reserves.

Invoker: A versatile mage role. Satria gained control over three elements—Fire, Storm, and Ice—and could combine them to create custom spells. The sheer flexibility was its greatest strength.

Grand Magus: Another arcane-based job, but with a twist. It allowed Satria to use telekinesis and boosted his allies’ spell power with Arcane Supremacy. The standout ability was skill stealing—he could copy enemy techniques after analyzing their magical essence and make the spell stronger.
