Holy crap, Swindler, and Anonymus were completely new, the Devils' own Luck was amazing, but the Karma's Wrath Debuff made Aaron wince. They had to balance an ability like that due to it being almost overpowered. Then Aaron saw Midas Chance and smiled again. Any real guilds that did a lot of Dungeon dive probably had at least one there with a maxed out Midas Touch Skill. Theives were probably the weakest class damage-wise, but they more than made up for it with their Stealth Skills and ability to detect and nullify traps.

Aaron took a deep breath and invested one Skill Point into Gentlemen Thief, Magic Touch, Skeleton Key, Combat Instincts, Ruthless Fighter, Swindler, Bribe, and Flickering Shadows. Bribe was the odd Skill Aaron didn't understand fully, but a quick search of the Wiki revealed that the Skill built upon Magnetic Personality and that offering actual money, to whomever you were trying to influence, triggered the effects of the Skill. Aaron dismissed the information and flipped back to the Rogue Skill Tree, he still had three Skill Points left. After a few moments, he invested another Skill Point into Stealth Mastery and invested one point into Dash before closing out his Skill Tree and finishing up his bath.

Aaron looked at himself in the mirror, he stood just over six feet wall with a runners build, ghost-white hair, and red eyes with flakes of silver in them. Everything was clean and none of it smelled like the heap he had appeared in. Most of his clothing was in different shades of black, his shoes were the odd man out though. They were made from some odd material and shifted between black and grey that made the eyes want to slide off them. It was probably the reason why no one before him had ever found them. Aaron had gotten very lucky finding them, and he only found them when he had literarily stumbled over them in the dungeon.

Stumbling over them had caused a hilarious series of odd occurrences, the first face planting in a Dungeon with no one except a Boss around. The boss, hearing Aarons cursing, had checked out what was going on which resulted in him screaming his head off as a fifteen-foot tall Ogier started to literarily try to shake him to death. His party at the time had been laughing so hard at Aaron, they had almost let him die.

Finding those boots was probably the first big fight between him and Peter since they were kids. Peter had wanted Aaron to give them to him to sell to the highest bidder or even a guild, Aaron had wanted to keep them and finish the associated quest. Eventually, Aaron had given his brother five thousand dollars and told him to fuck off until he got his head out of his ass and apologized for being a selfish idiot. Peter was always the short term thinker, the boots were a long term investment and if he ever could find the other pieces of the set and complete the quest, Peter would have been far richer then.

In the end, they never mended fences and Aaron had been setup. Aaron dismissed the gloomy thoughts as he brought up the stats on his gear to review one more time.

Aaron studied the ring, it was a plain silver band but with two small golden dice engraved into it. Anyone who earned their way into the guild was issued the ring so that any of the underworld guilds would know them by sight. With one last look around, Aaron slipped out of the room and downstairs to eat and figure out his next move.
