Classless Reincarnation-Chapter 21 Fluffy Killing Machines!
?[Ding! Master of the Foxes Title Activating!]
Jack hurriedly went to check the Title….it had been updated?! Now, it wasn't just flavor text but also added abilities!
1. Foxes Respect You More
2. Unlock Access to Minions' Status!
3. Gain 5% of the total XP they collect!
How OP! Instantly, Jack pictured an invincible fox army doing his bidding. Wouldn't this be the perfect support for his carefree life?!
But first, it was time for a troop's inspection:
"Open Foxes' Status!"
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Fierce Fiery Fox! (Unnamed)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
BODY 44 (STR 12/ AGI 23 / RES 9)
SOUL 52 (MAGIC 17 / SENSE 21 / WILL 14)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Skills (3)
- Fire Manipulation! (D)
- Acting Cute (E)
- Nimble (E)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
All their statuses were similar to that one!
"Damn, they're Hella fit!" That BODY value was so much higher than Jack's meager 9, but the SOUL wasn't that far apart, except for his MAGIC lagging behind.
"Still, three skills and no title?!" It was little compared to his eight skills and 14 titles! Then again, some were questionable, like Crawl, Posturing, Evil Lord (Fake), and whatnot…
Jack kept investigating and soon realized something crazy! He could drag and drop the flashing XP to whatever he wanted, may it be him or his minions!
[Assign XP to BODY?]
[Assign XP to Fire Manipulation?]
[Assign XP to Dormant Obliteration Curse?]
"Not that last one, for sure! Who knows if it won't activate!" He hurriedly moved his finger away from the screen, chuckling at his minions' reaction.
"Woo! Woo!" (Master, master, look! So shiny!!)
They were all ecstatic as they jumped with joy. How long had they dreamed of this moment? Far too long!
One had to know that Magical Beasts in Eternia didn't have access to the system. Thanks to Jack, they could now see their stats, and they LOVED IT!
As for the more than valuable XP…
"Woo! Woo!" (You Assign it, Master! We trust you!)
Their eyes showed absolutely no trace of greed. They were happy just having a shiny floating window they could open anytime. How wholesome….and silly!
So it was entirely up to him….
1) Hog all the XP and strengthen himself? This was obviously the safest choice! After all, who knew when he'd have to fight for his life?
2) Assign all the XP to his foxes to increase their performance? He could send them hunting for him and collect the sweet rewards without any hassle.
3) Balance it between himself and his minions, having the benefits of both and the danger of spreading the XP too thin.
Jack carefully considered every option and….
[Assigned XP to MAGIC!]
[Assigned XP to MAGIC!]
[Assigned XP to MAGIC!]
…. He spammed the Hell out of it!
Buffing foxes was good and all, but MAGIC!
Instantly, he felt a warmth invade his soul. The world suddenly felt vibrant, brimming with color! It was as if he had drunk the finest nectar ever! This feeling was ADDICTIVE!
MAGIC 7 —> MAGIC 8
His magic had gone up by one?! How could a single point added feel that good?! That's the exact moment his eyes began to glow with a devious light. THIS WAS OP!
He checked the remaining XP left, 70…. this would be enough! He turned toward his minions, a creepy smile on his face.
"Since we've been in a fight, I'll give you all a special massage to recuperate more quickly. Gather up!"
Jack made them line up and then began petting them…. Or that's what it looked like! But every time he'd rub their fur, he'd also subtly assign them some XP!
Petting + Leveling UP…. It felt like Nirvana!
As the "recovery petting" ended, the foxes had a strange glimmer in their eyes. They wanted more, lots more! Yet, every time they'd inch closer, Jack would deny them.
"Nope, this is strictly a post-fight recovery technique."
Never had foxes looked so pitiful. They had tasted the sweetest thing ever, only to have it yanked away from them at the last minute. How were they supposed to react?!
They were hooked! Now, it was time for the bait…
"Let's keep going. We're going to see a healer, remember? Still, if you guys want, we can do a good deed and clear the rats on our way…."
Their eyes gleamed with desire. That was it! They just needed to kill more rats, and they'd get more of the special petting! It was time for a hunt!
KILL! KILL! KILL! All for more petting!
That day, a bloody rat genocide happened…
That day, a bunch of silly foxes became addicted to XP…
That day, they became the fluffiest but deadliest killing machines…
? Jack simply watched in the back, chuckling as they spread out to search for more prey. Then whenever he received a notification, his smile would widen…
[Received 12 XP!]
[Received 16 XP!]
[Received 18 XP!]
…. This sure was fun!

A distance away, hurried steps echoed.
"Please let me be in time!"
A certain member of the Dawn Guard desperately rushed through the sewers. The latter was out of breath… and actually wearing civilian clothes?!
He had come as soon as possible, but what if it was already too late?! Even now, his stomach still twisted in anger.
"Those bastards, are they even human?! There's a life at stake here! Protocol? Protocol, my ass! What's the Dawn Guard for if not for this?!"
As soon as the sewer alarm had rung, everyone had geared up instantly…. But as it became known that the intruder was just a baby, they all gave up…. Not their problem.
"Seriously, what kind of monster throws a baby in the sewers?! Don't worry, baby, I'll save you, and then I'll punish the evil man who—"
But suddenly, he stopped…. WHAT THE FUCK?!
Just as he turned a corner, his heart stopped.
Rats, dead rats everywhere, all burned!
But he saw more than that. The more he observed and the colder he felt. This was a CARNAGE! Only a crazy monster would possibly do something like this!
This wasn't the handiwork of a human; this was a massacre! Lacerations all over? Cadavers burned beyond recognition? This was the doing of a being that killed for sport!
That's when it all clicked in his head…
What if there was no baby? What if the evil ones had tampered with their alarm magic?! What if they were planning a terrorist attack right this moment?!
"OH, GOD! I need to tell someone! Demonic Legion's here!" He cried out.
If only he had remained silent. A certain fox just happened to be passing by while hunting, and it just happened to hear that shout.
This man knew they were Demonic Legion? He knew too much, far too freaking much! Just as the man was turning back, he felt a searing heat. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶
"W-what?! A fox? Don't tell me—"
A few seconds later, only a pile of ashes remained. As for the fox, it departed cheerfully. This counted as a combat encounter, right?
In another part of the Sewers….
[Received 69 XP!]
"Wow, 69?! Nice!" Jack happily rejoiced, unaware of the evil he had just released upon this world. Luckily, they had finally reached their destination.
"Above is a healer, right? Let's go then…."
