"Have you heard? Ethan became a priest."
"What? Didn't he awaken the Paladin Medal? He just needed to finish the starter quest to become a paladin—why a priest instead?"
"He gave his Paladin Medal to Lilian in exchange for a Priest Medal."
"What a total simp! Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey or something?"
"Haha, no clue if a donkey kicked him, but Lilian definitely did! Saw him begging for a party outside the newbie dungeon just now."
"Serves him right! I can't stand these simps—they ruin the market and enable gold diggers."
"Everyone hates his guts, so no one's willing to team up with him."
"Deserved!"
Lunstadt City, Kingdom of BohrNo. 72 Newbie Dungeon Entrance
A crowd milled about, waiting for the dungeon to open.
In the middle of the throng, Ethan stared blankly at his surroundings.
"Did I... transmigrate?"
He gaped at the bizarre scene around him, shocked.
After several minutes, he finally sorted through the original owner's memories.
Three days prior, the original Ethan had awakened the rare Paladin class medal.
His childhood sweetheart Lilian had immediately burst into tears, claiming she was afflicted with Dark Corruption.
She'd said she would die by the end of the year unless she switched to a rare Holy Light class.
Like a fool, the original Ethan had swapped his medal with hers.
The very next day, he'd seen Lilian's social media post: she was snuggled in the arms of a fully armored knight, with the caption, "My new weapon is so heavy~"
When the original Ethan had confronted her, she'd only sneered, "We're not from the same world anymore," before dumping him.
Heartbroken, he'd taken the Priest Medal to the church and completed his class transfer.
Reading these memories, Ethan couldn't help but snort in laughter.
"What a pathetic simp's life! Was this guy's brain wired backwards or what?"
Ethan seriously doubted the original owner had swapped brains with a noob.
The guy had five million in inheritance—he could've easily spent a few hundred thousand to buy a basic Mage class.
But no, he had to pick Priest.
Did Priests even have offensive skills?
Was he planning to stand on the sidelines casting Heal to recharge their stamina while they hooked up?
Suddenly, a golden light began flashing wildly in his dimmed Talent tab.
