I Changed Class to Pet Caretaker? Pets Around the World Work for Me

At his job-awakening ceremony, Lin Yu awakens the rare Beast Keeper class, dismissed as "useless." When combat-class professionals mock him for being able to do no more than guard the petting pens, he unexpectedly binds to the hidden Mythic-class job, Shadow Feeder, which lets him share his pets' growth and experience, and even inherit their skills.

"You think raising pets can hold back the tide of deep-sea invaders?" sneers Tom, an exchange student from the United States, clutching an outrageously expensive fire-element egg. Behind him, a crowd of combat-class professionals cast contemptuous looks at the life-class workers.

Lin Yu says nothing, absently rubbing the Shadow Feeder mark between his brows. A steady stream of faint prompts sounds in his ears: the sheep he is fostering nibbles on poisonous weeds and gains resistance, raising his constitution by 0.001; Su Qingyue's bubble fish purifies a polluted stream, raising his spirit by 0.002; even the swordswoman's wind-element bird drives off an enemy scout flying low overhead, earning him 1 experience point.

These seemingly insignificant gains are like streams flowing together to form a great river. His strength climbs from 1 to 15.9, his agility breaks past 26 thanks to Tiaotiao's wind rush, and his constitution approaches 24 with Tuantuan's iron scales. This isn't because he has fought with a sword himself, but because countless ordinary professionals from the Great Xia Kingdom have grown through their pets' efforts in the gaps between battles.
