In Another World Where My Job Lets Me Casually break the Laws of Reality
Hm. This is simultaneously fortuitous and misfortunate. On the one hand, no one around to see me casually doing something Cthulhu would. On the other hand, no one around to judge where I am. A problem for tomorrow's me. For now, I should worry about becoming stronk boi. First, I should gauge my strength...
"[stats]."
[stats]
HP: 500/500
-A measure of your livelihood. Note: unlike most Systems, given proper circumstance, you CAN die while your hp is still over 0. Doing the fusion dance with your heartless and becoming whole counts as dying, due to no longer being a Nobody.
MP: 90/90
-A measure of the magical energy you still have to mold into spells. Can be increased by "exercising" through using up your MP in controlled amounts.
Speed: 8
-A measure of... Your speed. Can be increased through regular exercise.
Luck: 7
-A measure of your average luckiness. YOU cannot do anything short of making sacrifices to increase this stat.
Note: there are other stats, but these are the stats that are not part of a list. Will extend to reveal expanded stats when you wish it to.

...I am going to need a scale for this.
I am sorry, tree, but I need to test this.
Thud
...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
After extensive training (read: metaphorically banging my head on trees and seeing if I get a concussion), I have discovered: I am only marginally stronger than a normal huan. Speed-wise, however... Still not that impressive, but I am way more, how shall I put this, "Streamlined" than before the split.
On the topic of my becoming better, this beautiful screen popped up.

[Notice]
A lot of those are from games, and are rather powerful. But as of right now, I have a very specific set of needs. And there is a class that seems to fit it very well...
[Job]
Name: Priest
Description: become an ally even more beloved than a medic in TF2, or Technoblade in a Minecraft team event, with the Priest Job! It is your duty to minmax the power of your allies using the blessings of angels! With Angel's aid increasing elemental damage, Angel ward reducing elemental damage your party takes, and Convert energy allowing you to spend an admittedly lucrative amount of mp to energize your allies, people will even be slightly tempted to kidnap you to work for them!... For legal reasons, that is a joke.
Initial skills:
Spirit ward
Level: 1
Temporarily increase* a target's resistance to a element. Can choose weapon types instead.
Cost: 40mp
*+10 resistance to magic elements.
Charity
Cure all ailments the target is suffering, and increase their resistance to them by 20 for 10 turns.
15% mp
Angel's aid
Level: 1
Slightly increases* the elemental damage of a selected ally or yourself.
Cost: 40 MP
*+10 damage dealt by elemental attacks.
[Job]
Ability to reduce the damage that I take? Yes please. Option to energize myself or an ally, thus solidifying myself as a valued ally? A tad expensive, yet still very much worth it. Increase the damage of an allies elemental attacks, thus ensuring my position as a MVP that must not take damage? Hell yeah.
[Notice]
You have selected to choose Priest as your first Job. Are you sure? Please send either verbal or mental confirmation of your choice.
Yes No
[Notice]
"Yes."
...Huh. That's odd. I expected some kind of reaction.
[Notice]
The only main effect would be related to the soul, and you lost yours. Therefore, no reaction. However, you do have a soul-substitute now, a spiritual core to explain it, in the form of an Asterisk. Yes, you are now capable of being a god-tier super boss, complete with the insane loot.
[Notice]
...In the words of Mido, WELL THEN. Lets hope that I stay on everyone's good side, lest they rationalize killing me. Now then, time to begin my grand adventu-
"HEY! WAS THAT YOU?!"
...siiiiiiiigh. I know I said I wanted something to confirm where I landed, but I meant something along the lines of a Chomper or some other easily recognizable mook. Not a entity I would need to socialize with.
