"These are nostalgic skills."
Berserker's skill was very simple.
Rather than using flamboyant techniques, it is the berserker's fighting style to run and cut off the opponent's head. That's why you don't need a lot of skills.
Those who didn't know that often died in the early stages of trying to fight the berserk without even trying to do anything.
Moreover, the stat bonus that Berserkers get when changing jobs is quite high, so it was good to overwhelm them with force.
"It's nice, but… … I didn't even think about the party play again this time."
Even so, the reason why the number of users who chose berserk was extremely small was because of the skill called Berserk.
A fraudulent skill among scams that allows you to get a 200% increase in stats, infinite mana, and immortality by just using it.
If you look at the efficacy of the skill itself, it was worth getting into the top five across all jobs, but this skill had two fatal flaws.
"But this time, I have an indomitable will from the beginning."
It was the inability to identify peers and the penalty for aftereffects.
The moment Berserk skill is used, the entire field of view is colored red and displayed only as a silhouette, making it difficult to determine whether the opponent is an enemy or an ally.
Of course, if you are dealing with monsters that are distinctly different from humans, or if you are fighting a small number of battles, you may be able to distinguish them somehow, but if you go into a melee or deal with humanoid monsters, you will rather become a time bomb that can harm your allies. So it wasn't easy to join a guild, let alone play in a party.
In fact, the fact that Rokhan became a solo player was also a big influence.
Until he obtained Indomitable Will, he was rejected because it was impossible to identify friends, and after he obtained Indomitable Will, he was rejected because he had already made numerous enemies.
Rokan didn't intentionally want to go alone, so he didn't play solo.
"Well, it's easier to be alone if you want to go according to plan anyway."
And this time, he was alone because there was no one who could follow his plan.
No, I had to be alone. The things I'm going to do from now on will be things that are considered close to 'impossible'.
"The aftereffects problem… … I have no choice but to raise my skill level quickly."
Another problem, aftereffects, also contributed to its unpopularity. Compared to Berserk's duration of 10 minutes, 30 minutes of aftereffects is a very long time. Since the risk of a decrease in stats by percentage is very high as the level goes up, it was more beneficial to put any other class into the party than to put a class that was left in a surplus state for 30 minutes after fighting for 10 minutes.
Of course, berserkers were a class that could demonstrate considerable combat power without using a Berserk, but due to the lack of skills, it was highly dependent on individual control.
As a result, the evaluation of solo play is not so good.
As the evaluations that could be called total difficulties continued in a row, recently, few people searched for Berserker.
However, Rokan's evaluation was different. To Rokan, such evaluations were made without knowing what kind of game The Road was or what Berserk meant.
Achieve near-impossible achievements and reap rewards for doing so. So, to have a much stronger ability than others.
In that respect, Berserk could be said to be a skill optimized for The Road's title system.
After all, weren't all the wonderful records set by Rokhan achieved with Berserk?
A place where only ordinary strength can be obtained with ordinary play.
The Road was such a place.
'I'm lucky in many ways.'
Moreover, this time he had obtained a title that reduced the experience needed to level up his job skills by 30%. It was clear that the time to reduce the penalty by raising Berserk's level would be faster.
"20 silver… … I don't know if that will be enough."
After rubbing the jingling silver coin in his pocket, Rokan headed to a nearby general store.
The armor shop was stepped on in the snow, but I passed lightly. It was a luxury to invest in low-level armor that could be quickly replaced in a situation where even ragged leather armor that seemed to be dripping with soup would cost a few silvers.
Instead, I decided to invest in consumables that could restore food and stamina. Thanks to his stamina and toughness, he wouldn't have suffered much damage in a while.

The only equipment was an ax he received as a job change reward, but it was truly phenomenal.
The basic stats of all users were 10. Every time you level up, you get 5 extra stats, so if you reach level 10 and change jobs, you have 45 extra stats.
If you add the minor title effect, additional stats, and additional stats for each job to this, it was common to get about 50 more stats than at level 1.
The total, not the average, was 50. It was difficult to exceed 30 each in a 1:1:1 ratio of strength, agility, and stamina, which is the most common combat distribution method.
However, Rokhan's ability has already doubled.
When he thought that he only raised his marginal ability, he wouldn't be inferior even to level 50 users who are currently at the top level.
'Can this really be called Level 1?'
It was regrettable that his intelligence and wisdom were low, but since no monsters that use magic immediately appeared anyway, it didn't seem to matter. It wasn't that Rokan didn't have a skill that applied magic attack power.
It was the birth of a monster that would disturb the ecosystem.
That fact, Rokhan himself knew best. He knows what he can do.
Because of that, Rokhan's next action was also decided.
"Looking for a bus driver! The destination is inside the orc camp."
Rokhan used Shout to raise his voice in the plaza. In addition to the shouting sound that accompanies a certain level of hunger drop, it was nice to see other people by floating a speech bubble with text above their heads.
There were already many people in the plaza doing business using that function, but Rokhan's cry was enough to draw attention.
It was because the place was an oak camp.
'In about a month, there must be quite a few people who can come and go to the Orc camp.'
Orc camp was a fairly high-level hunting ground where hunting was possible from at least level 30.
I wanted a bus driver to take me to a place like that. I don't know how many people are available, but one thing's for sure: it'll be a lot of money.
For that reason, several interested personnel approached Lokhan. However, Lokhan rejected it again and again. It was plain to see that he was a fraud.
'Cheaters are still overflowing.'
If other people didn't know, Lokhan, who had memories of his previous life, could get a rough estimate just by looking at his outfit. The degree of level or equipment setting. Even what style of battle to unfold.
However, few of those who spoke to him could survive in the orc camp, and those who were decent did not fit the conditions.
This is because what Rokan wanted was not a 'Dope' that formed a party and raised the level.
However, the party that talked to Rokhan after a while was a passing point in that respect.
Whether it was a team hunting in an actual orc camp, equipment and orc camp drop items were mixed. However, it was not yet equipped with a 'full item', perhaps because it had not reached the level of maturity.
"He said he was going to the Orc camp."
"Yes, you just have to go inside. There will be no party, and of course you can take the items you acquire along the way. Instead, when they fight, I'll just watch. The cost is 15 silver."
"Hmm, it seems that tourism is your goal. It must be a tight neighborhood for that... … ."
The man who spoke as the representative pondered for a moment about Lokhan's proposal.
There have been quite a few people making suggestions like this these days. There were two ways to present a certain cost and form a party to raise the level instead, or to protect the field so that you can see the field that is difficult to reach your current level.
Normally, they would have rejected this offer without even thinking about it, but their current circumstances made them think about this offer.
"Once you get inside, you don't need to protect it. From then on, I'll take care of it."
When he saw the opportunity, Rokhan immediately stabbed him. It was obvious what his worries were.
It looks like he can barely hold on even in an orc camp, but he probably doesn't have the confidence to protect others.
"Okay, let's accept it. And I'm sorry... … Can I get some advance payment? It's not that I don't believe it. … haha."
After a while, the man who made the decision with the party members scratched his head as if he was embarrassed. Because they were wiped out once before, they don't even have the money to buy the minimum amount of consumables.
"I'll give you 10 silver first."
Rokhan held out 10 silver without hesitation. If more time passes, the 'contract' will be updated, but right now I have no choice but to trust people.
After paying the advance so readily, the party misunderstood slightly again. 'It seems that he is a real user with a lot of money.' it did
In fact, Rokan didn't look good from the point of view of playing without a charge because of the expensive account fee and capsule fee. But I didn't even think about cheating. They soon replenished their supplies and gathered back at Lokhan.
"This is also a relationship, but it is a common name. I am Knight Pale, and this is Wizard Elfie and Priest Rose."
Prior to departure, the party leader briefly introduced his party.
Knights, wizards, and priests could be said to be a fairly well-balanced party.
In the beginning, considering that the priest's healing efficiency was lower than using consumables, the skills of the other two seemed to be quite good.
Well, that's why the three of us could go hunting in the Orc Camp, which belongs to the high-level hunting grounds.
"This is Lokhan."
Rokan also briefly revealed his name. However, he did not reveal his occupation. The moment he said the word berserker, he was annoyed by the stares and worries that would pour out, and it was also because he didn't feel the need to make himself known.
Even if your skills are quite good, the fact that you are still in the 30th level means that there is a high probability that you will not be able to climb to the top. Especially since he hadn't heard of his name, it was clear that he would stay at an intermediate level later on.
Rokhan wasn't sociable enough to make friends with people he would pass by just once.
"Then let's go. The orc camp is this way."
Pale immediately started moving, as if he had read the emotions contained in that answer.
Oak Camp is a 30 minute walk. I had to get off the main road in the middle, so junk mobs appeared.
As they approached the Orc camp, Fail skillfully explained and led the way. Rokan, Elfie, and Rosé followed closely behind him.
"Be careful from here. Orc scouts patrol the patrol, blowing horns to summon their allies if they make a mistake. Then it hurts."
Since the scouts also follow a certain patrol course, you can roughly see the pattern while living in an orc camp.
As he approached the fence of the Orc camp, Fail explained in a more cautious voice how to enter the interior.
"I don't know if you know, but there are two ways to get into the Orc camp. One is to break through head-on, which is crazy. The second is to draw your attention to the animal's carcass and go into the dog's hole. Battles can't be avoided if you're not lucky, but if you're a minority, we're enough. There are animal corpses that we have prepared in advance, so we will enter right away."
It was a story that Rokan already knew. Because in his previous life, he had done crazy things like trying to get in through the front door.
However, rather than pretending to know, I quietly followed them and watched what they did.
Tuuk.
When the animal carcass was thrown in a visible location, an immediate reaction came from within.
"Sniff, sniff, feed Chwiik."
Orcs vacated their seats and came out of the fence to collect the corpses.
In the meantime, they entered through the dog hole they had identified in advance.
"Chwiik! Human!"
Caang!
Pale was discovered as soon as he entered. However, he blocked the orc's attack with his long sword and even counterattacked with ease.
"Power attack!"
Knight class skill power attack. It's weaker than Strike, but the movement before and after use is a bit more free, so it was a good attack to mix while hitting.
'It's quite'
Although not much was known about how to use it, Fail often used the skill.
As Elfi, who came in after him, assisted with magic, he was able to easily defeat at least one orc.
"Come this way."
But I didn't do anything foolish about holding on triumphantly that I had won. Another orc will appear soon.
There was a saying that 70% of hunting in an Orc camp was to find a spot, so it was very important to figure out where the right number of Orcs would appear and preoccupy it.
Rokan moved to the spot after them.
Strictly speaking, the contract with them had already ended at the point of achieving the desired result of entering the Orc camp, but it was because he knew that Fail and his party were doing them a favor, not a favor.
Also, he also needed to familiarize himself with the terrain since it had been a long time since he had been to the orc camp here.
'I remember now.'
I slowly remembered it as I looked around here and there as I moved. If it's an orc camp, it's a place I've been to countless times.
"I did get inside as requested, but… … Sightseeing may not be as difficult as you think. There aren't as many teams here as I thought. If you deviate just a little bit, you'll run into the orcs right away... … ."
"it's okay. Look at things."
Rokhan sent the worried Pale party first.
Pale made an uncomfortable expression, probably because he couldn't stop the person who was going to die, but there was nothing they could do because it was what Rokhan wanted.
'It must be over there.'
After confirming that they had completely disappeared, Lokhan started moving somewhere while groping for memories. He reached somewhere, hiding himself in a corner so as not to run into the orcs.
A warrior's shelter.
Even in the Orc camp, the strong Orc warriors were staying, and it was a higher hunting ground than the place where the Pales were.
"Who knows the honor! If there is a true warrior, let's compete with me!"
Arriving there, Lokhan let out a loud cry with a breath drawn from the depths.
