Chapter 8 - 1st Job Advancement (1)

The place he arrived with a shabby cart was a fairly large city.

No, most people felt that way, but in reality it was only a small-to-medium sized city.

"and… … ."

"Is this the starting city?"

"Certainly the mainland is different."

While everyone opened their mouths in admiration, Rokhan slipped into the city.

There are cases where people who escaped the pocket city together as graduation motives form a party, but Rokhan had no intention of doing so.

"excuse me. What is the name of this city by any chance?"

When Rokhan grabbed a passer-by and asked politely, he readily gave an answer.

"Haha, it looks like you came up from the village. The name of this city is Cthon."

Normally, they would be wary or ignore them, but this was also the effect of reputation [Friendship].

'Cton... … Is it a coincidence'

The layout of the cities leading from the pocket city was random. Because of this, Lokhan had prepared several scenarios in preparation for falling into each city.

Funnily enough, however, Cthon was a familiar city he had arrived in after escaping from the pocket city in his previous life.

'Let's get a job first.'

After confirming the location, Lokhan searched his memory and immediately searched for the job guild. This is because there are job guilds that did not exist in Pocket City.

It could be seen that the full-fledged play begins with getting a job.

Conversely, if you don't get a job, you may end up being hunted instead of hunting, no matter how much you fly and crawl against herbivores in the pocket city.

From now on, not only will first attack mobs appear, but they will also show a drastic difference in terms of combat power.

The problem is which job to choose, and already online, voices about which job is good and what kind of job is a scam are resounding.

But Rokan had already decided on a job.

It was like in a previous life.

He knew the pros and cons of other jobs and how to acquire some hidden classes, but that made him unable to choose another job.

It was because I knew that even though it was a hidden class, it wasn't all-round, and rather, it had its strengths as well as its weaknesses.

'Then it would be right to choose the class that best suits me.'

Rokan made that decision. After all, what makes the difference is the level, equipment, and title.

Awesome... … .

The ungreased entrance screamed.

"Eh, is there still someone left to come?"

The guide who was trying to sleep with a cloth on his face looked back at Lokhan with a disapproving face.

A grim face that looks like it would turn around in fear if it were a weak heart, and the bloodstains painted behind it.

But Rokan grinned and went inside.

I don't know how it might be for others, but he made me feel at home.

'It's still not popular here.'

The inside of the guild was cold. In the beginning, there were many people who came in with curiosity, and there were many people who were strong enough not to be scared even when they saw his face.

There were countless combat jobs, production jobs, and life jobs for enjoyment on The Road, so it's not strange that no one visits a day at the beginning of a non-mainstream guild. Moreover, especially if it is a remote place like this place.

For that reason, not only this place, but most of the non-mainstream job guilds were like that.

"I want to change jobs."

"You must have known where this place was before."

When Rokan approached the counter casually and brought up the main topic, the receptionist was rather cautious. She seemed to have judged that she could become a hermit by saying that she had changed her job because she misunderstood.

"sure. I want to change my job to a berserker."

"Haha, it's been a while since I've had a guy come in. OK, sign here."

The receptionist burst into a hearty laugh when he saw Rokan answer as if it were natural. Then, after reading Rokan's eyes, he readily handed over the application form.

This is the Berserker Guild. Those with weak pulpits were a guild of madmen who couldn't handle it.

[Be careful. Once obtained, a job cannot be changed or canceled in the usual way.]

As Rokan signed it, the receptionist took the document as if it were stolen. As if he couldn't take it anymore, he looked straight at Rokan and finished the registration by placing the documents on one side of the magic circle.

Phew!

[You have completed your job change as a Berserker.]

A red mass exploded over Lokhan's head. Cursed red powder was scattered and absorbed by him.

"Now, it's a gift from the previous job. Pick the one you want."

Whoop, thump, thump!

The receptionist gave three things. These were weapons that could be received as a commemoration of job advancement, and all of them were real weapons with superior power than weapons purchased in Pocket City.

'This is why only those with weapons before leaving the pocket city become fools.'

It was unfortunate that only those who bought weapons with the money they had collected from pocket cities to play an active part in the mainland, but not all jobs gave only weapons, so it wasn't completely ruined.

People like Rokhan who came in without a single penny, let alone a weapon, are paying off.

[Old Greatsword] [Normal]

A greatsword that has been neglected for a long time and has become dull. It's more like a blunt weapon than a sword.

-Attack Power: 70

-Durability: 300/300

[shabby long sword] [normal]

A haphazardly crafted long sword.

-Attack Power: 45

-Durability: 120/120

[Lumberjack's single-edged axe][Normal]

A single-edged ax used by woodcutter.

-Attack Power: 65

-Durability: 200/200

-30% increase in logging success rate.

'Your name sounds like a real beggar.'

It was a pretty good item, except for the name and description that were given as a gift for free job change.

Lokhan finished his selection as soon as he confirmed that they were no different from his previous life.

"Euhahaha, a berserker is an ax as expected. Hey, you know something!"

[The likability of the Berserker Guild Master 'Ralph' has increased significantly.]

[The reputation of the Berserker Guild Master has changed from Friendly to Favorable.]

'already '

No matter how much [Friendship] he started, it was surprising that he had already gone beyond that level.

But Rokhan thought it might happen soon. Because the berserkers weren't all normal guys.

Instead, he held up the woodcutter's single-edged ax with one hand and smiled.

His choice of a single-bladed ax in the tutorial was no coincidence or mistake. He just chose the main weapon he was most familiar with.

In fact, it was luck, if lucky, that it was easy to destroy the town hall. But even if it wasn't for that, Lokhan would have picked his axe if he hadn't.

"Now show me the skill book."

"Skill book good! Let's see, since I'm a level 1 berserker, it's simple. Ax Mastery, Dash, Strike, War Cry, Berserk. It's 2 silver each, so give me 10 silver."

Ralph rummaged behind the counter and pulled out five faded books and put them on the table.

At 2 silver per book, it was very expensive. If you go through the quest normally and escape the pocket city, you will have about 13 silver, so you can barely live without all the money in your pocket.

'This is why the term "skill book pour" came up.'

At least, Berserker had fewer skill books compared to other jobs. In the case of magic or hunting, there were many cases where the number of skills that could be learned from the start exceeded 10, so it was common to choose and learn within the budget.

But Lokhan couldn't pay right away. He started with a lot of money, 1 silver and 50 coppers, but he used it up to buy a month's worth of food and a pass to the training ground.

Thanks to this, my balance is exactly 0.

Still, there was no servility in Rokhan's eyes.

"Please wait a moment."

Rokan proudly asked Ralph to wait for him, then strode towards the man who was sleeping hard in the corner of the guild.

"A bank employee, right?"

"Uh hmm! I didn't sleep, I didn't sleep."

As I stomped my feet and made a presence, the man jumped up and wiped his spittle. She looked around and talked gibberish even in front of her Lokhan, as if she hadn't come to her senses yet.

"I'd like to borrow some money."

"uh, ah… … Welcome. This is Citan, an Aeroc Bank dispatched employee who always gives happiness. You said you want to borrow money. Could you tell me your occupation and name?"

"I am Berserker Lokhan."

Then, as if I barely came to my senses, I started to follow the proper procedure. Asking for occupation and name. The first thing to do was to check the linked account through it.

"Confirmed. How much do you want to borrow? If it is your primary job, you can borrow up to 30 silver. Oh, and the interest is 3% per month. The loan is linked to your account and collected, so please think carefully before answering."

Below is a description of the loan amount and interest rates.

As he said, it was useless even if he took out a loan and took a dive or deleted the character. Even if the character is recreated through the linked account, the loan will remain and the interest rate will continue to rise.

It was about not even dreaming of 'eating and running' unless you intend to fold the load further.

Some users who did not understand this properly posted a transaction on an item trading site to try to get some pocket money when the market price was high in the beginning, and there were also cases where they were in great trouble.

"I'll borrow all 30 silver."

"I will ask you again. Is it correct to borrow 30 silver?"

"yes."

"Here it is. Have a good day."

As soon as he paid off the loan, he sat down again and abandoned Sitan, who went into sleep mode, and Rokhan put 10 silver on the counter. It was the moment when one-third of the loan disappeared in an instant.

[You have acquired Ax Mastery and four 1st job skill books.]

Instead, he obtained five skill books.

This isn't a bad deal. At least until level 50, I had to endure only with the 1st job skills I learned now.

In addition, the secondary job skills that could be obtained at level 50 were not particularly numerous, and most of them were used by upgrading the current skills, so they would be used over and over again.

"You are a real berserker from now on. So, don't go anywhere and do something embarrassing!"

Rokan got out of the berserker guild with Ralph seeing him off. He had nothing more to see anyway.

As I walked toward my next destination, I checked my newly acquired skills.
