The Sandbox: Classless [Royal Road Writathon Winner]

This fiction is a participant in the RR writathon Chika is an adventurer that completely idolizes and idealizes her profession. In her mind being an adventurer means being capable of anything, and being able to use any and every skill in existence. Art, science, math, every kind of magic imaginable, every weapon imaginable. In other words, she believes an adventurer is someone who lives in a sandbox environment, a place with absolute freedom to be anything and everything you want. Unfortunately for her, those days have long since passed, and in current times adventurers divide themselves into ranks and classes, preferring specialization in order to then form teams. Teams that she is left out of because there is always a supposed better option. This is the story of how the adventurer Chika climbs her way from going without food for over a month, to becoming the founder of the 11th great guild, and eventually becoming one of the few people to ever live that is wealthy enough to obtain a legendary mithril coin.
