A Ranger and her Horse

You are Claudia, an aspiring adventurer raised in the town of Fort Prairie, in its orphanage to be specific.

The orphanage is a quaint but lovely place. Nuns and clergymen of the human god, Erastil, take responsibility in raising the large number of orphaned children of the province. Monster-related disasters wiping out small towns mixed with the tendency for adventurers to father children before leaving for years on end create the need for church and kingdom to step in to raise the next generation. In the process they can test the growing youth for their attributes and abilities.

The orphanage sits behind the church, a piously carved stone edifice that stands above the sprawling wooden buildings of Fort Prairie. The large church provides free lodging until the age of adulthood as well as regular lessons in the ways of being a productive commoner should you fail to manifest the abilities of an adventurer. If you promise them a few years of labor, they will even train you in the sorts of skills that might change your class to merchant or acolyte.

While others study these safe and necessary life skills, you long for the life of adventure. The massive riches you could earn. The mind-bending powers that accompany the unlocking of an adventurer’s class. It has been your dream ever since your dad ran off into the woods never to be seen again.

The only problem is, you're already over the age of adulthood. Nobody really knows how it works, but the chance that you'll be stuck as a commoner for life is becoming greater by the day.

You take every opportunity you can to try and earn monster xp: volunteering to chase the slimes away from the vegetable patch, cleaning the slimes that crawl into the church’s sewers, and even cleaning off the chimney soot-slimes. Ever since you heard these mundane annoyances were technically monsters, you have eradicated every last one from the church and orphanage.

You're getting desperate. What can you do to get a class?
