Chapter 35: A new job has been opened (1)
I thought it was a bit of an unexpected timing, but it was not that strange since I managed to accumulate a lot of experience points so far.
Since I got my first job, I hung around with Kim Hyunsung and dealt with monsters most of the time, and even after entering this place, I had been hitting them without stopping.
Personally, I thought my progress was a little slow.
I found it ridiculous that after killing Yoo Seok-woo, a new job had presented itself to me.
‘Even if you kill humans…’
Experience increases.
Maybe it wasn’t just that.
There was a high probability that all actions had experience points within them.
There were mostly quantifying contributions and last-minute hits. Of course, it was difficult to obtain valid data, but I had seen stats rise even for personnel in the shelter.
I thought about taking various directions for magic to boost my intelligence, and even going so far as to use magic-boosting magic. However, all stats, such as stamina and agility, would continue to stay the same.
I thought maybe this job would be similar.
[A new job has been opened. Please choose the job you think you need.]
[View open jobs.]
[Summoner-Rare Grade]
[Magician-Rare Grade]
[Warlock-Rare Grade]
[Alchemist-Rare Level]
[Flame Wizard-Rare Grade]
‘There are so many options.’
I was a little worried about what to do if there was a scammer job, but there wasn’t. Rather, I felt very fortunate. I feel like giving points for all rare classes that presented themselves to me.
I didn’t take a closer look, but it seemed like no job seemed remotely bad.
Above all, I was most fortunate to have no commander class.
Of course, this may not be the case, but I was worried that Park Deokgu, who found out about my former job information, would become the commander’s parrot once again. I didn’t say anything, but I thought about it for about three times thanks to Park Deokgu’s words, who made it seem surprisingly appealing at that time.
In fact, I still wondered what it would have been like if I chose to be commander. However, I was also a little grateful that I was now completely out of the commander’s grip.
I couldn’t see the status window continuously, so I had to focus in order to take a quick look at it.
As I glanced at the status window, various information poured out.
[Summoner-Rare Grade]
[Summoner is not a job to go ahead and fight. It is a group of professions that fight using summoned ministries or spirits or exchange contracts. After that, you can change jobs to summoner-related jobs such as Tamer, Elementalist, and Summoner. Health will increase by 1, intelligence by 1, and magic by 2.]
‘Not bad.’
I found myself liking what the Summoner had to offer. The idea of having a spirit fight on my behalf sounded like a great insurance.
I didn’t know if I had the talent or affinity that usually came out in novels or games, but seeing that a summoner came out as a job, I thought it would fit my disposition well.
[Magician-Rare Grade]
[This is a medium-range job that uses magic and spears at the same time. Magician, who holds the center of the battlefield, uses magic and spear at the same time to directly influence both large and small battles. Gain intermediate knowledge of spears and magic. The occupational groups in which you can change jobs in the future are unknown. Agility will increase by 2, magic will increase by 2.]
[Warlock-Rare Grade]
[This is a ranged job that can use black magic. Black magic is a new level of magic that completely overturns the existing magic’s common sense. Because of the concept of borrowing power from the devil, some religious groups feel strong resistance to black magic, but their destructive power is overwhelmingly higher than that of other professions. Learn basic black magic. Magic will increase by 4.]
I would definitely pass up on the Magician.
The more I go up, the less I can do. If you swing a spear with weak strength or agility, it wouldn’t be efficient.
However, I felt differently for the Warlock. It was also true that the magic stat of +4 can be coveted and could overturn the existing magical common sense.
“Hmm.”
However, I was a little worried about making people feel the backlash from religious groups.
If the place I’d go to after the tutorial was a fantasy world based on the Middle Ages, maybe a crazy religious group would form a mob and chase after me.
The safest thing for me to be in such a situation is, after all, a specification.
[Alchemist-Rare Level]
[Alchemist is a profession that basically studies and studies magic chemistry. They are always looking for new directions and developments in magic, magic, and magic. Homunculus Alchemy knowledge and basic knowledge of alchemy are acquired. After that, you can change your job as a drug manufacturer, alchemy wizard, or homunculus expert. Intellect will increase by 2 and magic by 2.]
[Fire Wizard-Rare Grade]
[Among all types of property wizards, the flame wizard’s destructive power is second to none. This is a long-range job that supports allies with strong firepower. Although it consumes a lot of magic, its firepower is beyond imagination. It will surprise enemies and allies alike. After that, you can change your job as an explosion wizard or bomb magic expert. Magic will increase by 5.]
Of course, flame magic experts passed unconditionally.
There was no room to think about it. The fact that it boosted magic by 5 already earned it points, and the words of firepower beyond imagination also attracted attention.
It could be used well once or twice, and the shortcomings were obvious, but somehow it felt like it wasn’t bad all in all.
‘Alchemist?’
In fact, even the alchemist doesn’t look so bad.
In the first place, it can be said that it suited me best with high intelligence compared to magic.
Although my combat ability seemed to be a bit inferior to other occupations, occupations like homunculus expert, alchemy magic, and some suspicious drug maker seemed to be able to fill my lack of magic.
One thing that can definitely be excluded is Magician. All other jobs had their own strengths and weaknesses. I thought it would be a little easier than the first choice, so I felt stupid.
The choice now was far more important than when I had to choose before. One could even compare it to choosing one’s major in college!
My head hurt at the thought that this one choice might determine my position moving forward. Of course, it was not urgent, so we could wait a bit more. But among the numerous majors, worries began to emerge.
That was when I heard a voice right next to me.
“Hyung?”
“Ah. I’m sorry, Deokgu. I have to go looking for something first.”
“Did you get a new job?”
“Huh. Yes, although it’s a little sudden. It seems that even if you kill the same human, your experience will increase.”
“No…” I saw Park Deokgu struggling with his words.
Fortunately, he didn’t seem to be shocked. I was worried if he began to think of something else, but fortunately, it didn’t seem like that.
Until now, I used to call him a muscle-brain, but now I had second doubts about that.
Of course, they didn’t narrow in on him, but on me as well. I had been trying my best, but today’s memories would probably be unforgettable.
Deokgu also decided to accept the situation. He opened his mouth again in an attempt to stifle the suffocating silence.
“I don’t know whether Hyung Kim Hyunsung is safe.”
“Of course they will be safe. For Kim Hyunsung, of course, I can say that much.”
“How can you be so sure? Is it because of that magical power?”
“Similar. It’s harder to detect as the distance increases, but maybe you can understand to some extent if you also have magical power.”
Of course, it didn’t mean that they were automatically safe by magical detection. If you were to think about their specs and tendencies, then the answer would come.
One was a returner, and the other was a genius wizard and a monster. I was already quite sure they were finished with their work and were coming this way.
As expected, I took a little step. I could see a familiar figure.
As soon as we had a closer look at her, I admitted it was a little cute to see her running with her big eyes open, but it wasn’t that nice to see the blood on her sleeves.
“Oppa… oppa! Oppa! Oppa!”
Her usual act of running up to me and hugging me tightly felt a little more intense than usual. The fact that she had the energy to worry this much about me made me feel a little better.
“Where were you injured? Are you sick? Are you okay now? Ugh… Yoo Seok-woo… That… How does that person even…?”
“He’s dead.”
“Ah, ah, ah. That’s fortunate.”
I didn’t think Hayan would be shocked, but it felt a little disconcerting to see her accept this fact so calmly.
I didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but I daresay there was a hint of regret.
Rather than asking why she was looking closely at the scene came from, all the while sweeping dust off of her clothes.
“Sister, where did you go?”
“Ah… That… Without knowing…” Quite frankly, this conversation sounded dumb at the moment.
I didn’t bother trying to contribute to it at the moment.
For now, I was trying my hardest not to be reminded of what I had done.
However, it felt quite rude not to give acknowledgment to what I had noticed. With a face that sported my embarrassment, I thought that I should speak again, and opened my mouth,
“You went to help Hyunsung, right?”
“No, oppa. That… it’s not like that. I’m not very interested… I just…”
“Huh?”
“I’m not worried about Mr. Hyunsung.”
You are reacting more obviously than you would want to think.
It seemed like she hated to be misunderstood about her true intentions, but of course, I did not bother asking further.
“I’m just… So angry…”
“Ah…”
“I just felt so angry with that person… I did it without knowing it.”
In fact, it was Yoo Seok-woo who put the sword in the ship first, but Jung Hayan did not see the scene properly. It was even more impressive to see the guy who hit me with a fist or put a dagger on his back, dare to try it again.
Tears started to build up in my eyes once again as I remembered the memories back then.
Recognizing my expression for what it was, Park Deokgu looked at me with a very embarrassed expression. It didn’t look very suitable for a Gangwon-do Casanova. I could see his line of thought clear as day.
‘He’s still trying to play love doctor at this stage…?’
“No, no. no. I guess you know what you’re talking about, sister. In fact, I also wanted to run out right now… hyung, do that, but how can you…”
“Hm. That’s too… I keep thinking about it…”
“Sister, everything is fine now, so don’t cry, don’t cry. Now that it’s all over… You and your hyung are both okay, can’t you see?”
“Wow…”
“Gosh… Hyung! How can you… My eyes were swollen already… How is this…”
When I saw the guy gently looking at this side and asking for comfort, I couldn’t help but laugh. It felt like the pounding in my head had slowly begun to clear.
In the end, I could see my shoulders shake as I hugged the girl slightly according to her wish.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Oppa…”
I didn’t know what she was sorry for, but I continued to pat her back.
“It’s okay.”
“I’m sorry, Oppa!”
“It’s fine.”
Rather, I should have responded with a thank you. This feeling felt warm to the touch.
I feel a little better when I was dirty.
It was when I looked at Park Deokgu slightly while comforting Hayan did I see the guy sporting a strange smile.
‘That pig…’
No matter how much I thought about it, it was ridiculous. Of course, Jung Hayan had calmed down, and he started smiling in response.
Only
Of course, it was not the warm smile that came from seeing me with Hayan.
‘Is it a scheme…?’
This ominous feeling was similar to how I felt when I faced Yoo Seok-woo.
‘That…’
“It’s a very good pair, sister.”
Gangwon-do loved doctor Park Deokgu.
I had to do something to try and see if my hunch was true or false.
