I sat at a table while a medic fixed my wounds. Which was mostly from when the truck crashed. No broken bones, but I have large scrapes on my right leg and back. It stings, but it's nothing I can handle with a little painkiller. Too bad they didn't give it to us. In the tent I can see people who have lost arms and legs or have big holes in them from being shot by something. And they just make it så they won't die of it and then they throw them out, literally sometimes when it can't walk. I get a little better treatment because Ron bribed them, he also gets painkillers. Something that I don't get, but he had slightly worse injuries.
After an hour after they were done with me, Ron came out of the tent. He looked around before speaking.
"Hey, where's Ed"?
"To be honest, I have no idea. The last time I saw him was before the truck crashed". I replied.
"Phew". He let out a tired breath before sitting down at the edge of the nearest road.
"I'll make sure somebody will pick us up" Ron took something out of his pocket and pressed it a few times.
"It will be here in a couple of minutes".
I stand beside him and stood there because I didn't want to sit down with my wounds. Every step I take hurts.
"Thanks". I heard from Ron.
I looked at him not knowing what to say back.
"Zask was the one who worked for me, he's been working for me for 17 years now and now he and Ed are gone. Ed was the smartest Ogryn I've ever seen. Sure, I've seen Snotlings smarten den him, but he learned."
I wonder where he's seen Snotlings? There are Orks here, but has he been hanging around them?
"I will get new staff but I probably won't get good ones after this. So, can I ask you something". Ron looked me straight in the eyes.
"Yes". I had no reason to say no to him now.
"Do you want to work for me permanently, for the Custa Company"?
A window appeared in front of me before he even finished speaking.
[Join Custa Company]
Ronn Cunnane Custa of the Custa Company asks you to join his rogue trader Company, Custa Dynasty isn't the most famous or the best, but it isn't the worst either. Ronn Cunnane Custa or Ron works directly for the head of the family and is a cousin of hers as well, he and those that work for him have extreme freedom and if you become his ``Right hand man" you too.
[Reward: Skill Protection Of the God Emperor, Rogue class]
[Yes/No]
That was something I wasn't prepared for.
Are there classes?
[Answer. Yeah, if you hadn't gone into a monologue and had a panic attack from the new Skill you got on the train I would have told you about it]
Oh, what is it?
[Answer. The higher Lv in a class you have, the more Skill of that class you get]
Like in DnD, when you get class Feats?
[Answer. Yes]
"You don't have to give me an answer now, I'll give you until the car arrives". Ron said.
I had just stared up into the air for a while while I talked to the System. Apparently Ron took it like I was thinking hard about it.
A car parked in front of us and one opened the door, Ron started to get into the car, but before he did he looked at me. That's when I knew what I had to do.
"Okay, as long as I get good food and a place to sleep and of course a salary, you can count on me".
Ron gave me a big smile as he hopped in so I could sit next to him. The moment I got into the back seat a window opened in front of me.
[Note. You have acquired the Skill [Protection Of the God Emperor]]
[Note. You have acquired the Rogue class. Do you want to transfer all 5 Lv to Rogue Lv?]
I was a little unsure of what that meant but after thinking about it for two seconds I understood what it meant.
Yes.
[Note. You are now a Lv5 human Rogue]]
[Note. You have acquired the Skill [Stealth Lv1]]
[Note. You have acquired the Skill [Sneak Attack Lv1]]
[Note. You have acquired the Skill [Sleight of hand Lv1]]
Holy shit, that was a lot of Skill. After a few seconds I turned to Ron and said.
"Hey, I Am gonna sleep a little on the way, Ok". But I saw that Ron had already fallen asleep. Must be the painkillers.
But it was perfect because I wanted to go through my skills. Okey System, show me my Skill I got after all the alien attacks. A window opened in front of me.
[Marksman Lv1] Your ability to use all Firearms, increases accuracy by 5%]
[Thought Acceleration lv1] When enabledspeeds up the thought process, increasing time perception by 5%]
[Protection Of the God Emperor] "The God Emperor protects always and forever". Rogue traders are protected by the Emperor of Mankind and now you are too. With this Skill, there is a chance that when you need it most, a miracle will happen.]
[Stealth Lv1] Your ability to sneak]
[Sneak Attack Lv1] when you attack and the target doesn't know the attack coming you get +1 damage]
[Sleight of hand] Your dexterity and skill with your hands increases by 5%]
Wow, a lot of 5%. But what is it with Protection Of the God Emperor. It sounds like a get out of jail free card. But it doesn't have a Lv or percentage to see how it is. As far as I know, it can be 0.0001%. Shit, I can't trust it. Or the Stealth which doesn't have one either, but I think I have a couple of points that I can use.
[Note. You have 3 points]

A few hours later.
When I woke up, I felt the pain in my body again. My head was spinning when I heard Ron say something. A hand shook me on my shoulder.
"Hello David".
I woke up immediately to see Ron outside the door.
"Hey, David, wake up." Ron looked worried. I thought we had a problem.
"What?"
I was pushed out of the car by a big man and then he started dragging me somewhere.
"What happening?".
"You see, my boss wants to talk to us".
"Is it good or bad?".
"I would gasp bad".
We arrived at a large oneelegant door. It was beginning to open by itself. I could see two people in there. One looked like a Techmarine and the other gave me an Inquisitor Greyfax vibe.
"Ah, Hilduna. How is it going? Was it something you wanted or did you just want to check how your favorite cousin is doing?".
The woman at the desk stood up and thanks to the giant moon painting behind her and the lighting gave me the feeling that she truly is important.
"Ron, WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING?!".
"Yep, this is not good". Ron said, but there was only one thing I could think of.
Her giant anime boobs!.
We will see where Ed is next time and what is gonna happen.
