"Oh, I almost died."
You know you won't derail or crash. However, it was scary because he didn't know that bungee jumping or roller coasters were safe, or Rokan, who prided himself on riding roller coasters quite well, but this was a different case. If a roller coaster is a highway, this is off-road.
Thanks to that, I was able to reach the crossroads with some time left until the connection time limit, but if I had to get on again, I was willing to say that I would just come slowly to the next connection by regular train.
[You have found the Crossroads.]
[Awesome achievement! You have discovered a new city for the first time.]
[Obtain the title 'First Visitor of Crossroads'.]
[First Visitor of Crossroads] [Rare]
A title given to the first visitor to Crossroads.
-Increase all stats in the Crossroads area by 5%
"Hoo"
The visitor title was given only to the first hundred people to enter a new area. However, there seems to be an initial bonus here as well.
Originally, there was only one title, so there was no initial mark attached, but Rokan knew. 2nd to 99th place only received a 2% stat increase effect.
Nevertheless, the competition was quite fierce because it was applied at any time while staying in the area.
"Good start."
With this, it was confirmed that he was the first to not only achieve class user achievement, but also enter the tertiary city.
Of course, there were several other tertiary cities besides this one, but it was easy to infer that there would be no entrants in those places if it was the first time that a class user was achieved.
"It's not all about just arriving."
Rokan knew. He knows that getting to the Crossroads first is important, but the real important thing is something else. And of all the races that gather here, the human race is the most disadvantaged.
Perhaps it didn't make sense that the human race was the first to advance to the crossroads, but a further hurdle awaited them.
"What is it, are you human?"
"Among the visitors, humans were the first to visit here."
"It must have been some nefarious trick!"
It was perception and prejudice. As soon as Lokhan entered the Crossroads, where all the races of the 'Golden Lion Camp', a union of humans, half-elves, gnomes, and dwarves, were gathered, he had to listen to blatant whispers.
'Even with the title effect, this is it... … .'
Nothing is impossible! As a title effect, his basic reputation starts with [Friendly], and his attitude toward himself was this much.
Normal users who had to start with [Neutral] would have been severely ignored. Just like he did in his previous life.
'No, it was better then.'
At that time, those who entered the Crossroads first had laid the foundation to some extent. It was a time when NPCs of other races were slowly beginning to recognize human adventurers, and the strategy for the quest line was known to some extent.
However, those who entered first had to face each other without any help or information. And for that, I had to precede the nogada called 'reputation work'.
"As expected, I'm lucky this time."
Hearing the whispers, Rokhan smiled. Even if you don't do boring reputation work, you're ignored anyway. Until you prove your qualifications by performing special quests or hunting named monsters above a certain level, it was something to catch up with all races.
Humans are ignored just because they are human, but other races are called 'kids' and receive similar treatment. it's teacher
"I have to do the admittance quest… … Time is a bit vague. Shall we start by making a combination skill today?"
In order to be recognized as a proper warrior and adventurer, it was necessary to receive and complete quests from the representatives of each race on the Crossroads. If you complete it, you will receive 'recognition', and from this point on, you will be treated properly and you will be able to build relationships.
Until then, you can increase your city reputation with friendship or intimacy, but you cannot increase intimacy with individual NPCs. If you do the 'recognition quest' too late, some quests that require intimacy may not be received at all and you may move on to the next area.
That's why Rokan thought of doing the recognition quest first, putting aside other things, but the access limit time was running out. If you do well, you may be able to draw recognition from one tribe, but if you can't finish it, time will continue to flow. This is because the quests of each race, called recognition quests, are basically 'time attacks'.
"A time attack in a game with an access time limit is a bit too much."
Depending on how quickly you complete the quest, your initial intimacy and reputation changed.
Even if you log out, the time of Time Attack continues to flow, so it was important to start the quest from the time of the new connection and not log out in the middle. If time seems to be halfway, it would be better to do something else and receive a new recognition quest the next time you log in.
Being well aware of that, Rokhan also changed his mind. If he hadn't taken the express train, he would have arrived at Crossroads just in time and logged out, but now that there was time left, he decided to make good use of it.
"I'll have to start with the easy stuff first."
Creation of combination skills. Having decided that, Lokhan immediately left the village. He was able to create a combination skill in the village, but the user's certain movements had to be added to the combination skill, so he only got out of the fence to make it more comfortable.
And I made it from the simplest first combination skill.
"Creating combination skills."
[Please specify the action clip or skill book for the desired skill combination.]
"Force, War Cry."
I placed the Force skill book and the War Cry skill book on the window that appeared in front of me. Other than that, it was a neat combination with no other skill books or action clips, but the utility was great.
[Combination is possible.]
[Look at the expected use of the combination skill and press the combination completion button.]
[When the combination is completed, the skill book disappears and the combination skill is automatically acquired.]
The translucent window changed to look like a video. Within it, Rokhan himself was screaming like a madman, and all enemies exposed to that cry shuddered like herbivores. Some staggered from weakness, others fell completely unconscious and fell to the floor.
"Good. Combination complete!"
It was exactly what I thought it would look like.
[Please specify the name of the combination skill.]
"A cry of madness."
Skill names were very important in combination skills. It was a representation of the concept of the skill, but it also served as a voice to add strength. Even in the same combination, depending on the skill name, there can be a slight difference in power.
For example, there is a clear difference between naming a single attack skill as Power Strike and naming it as Rapid Strike.
That's why it's important to find a great combination, but it's also very important to accurately understand and name your skills.
In that sense, 'Cry of Madness' was a decent name considering the characteristics of a berserker.
[Cry of Madness][Combination Skill]
Let out a maddened roar that terrifies enemies. Magical power dwells in the voice and affects the mind.
-If the level is lower than the user, all stats decrease
-If the level is seriously lower than the user, a short stun effect is applied randomly
- Even if the level is higher than the user, it has a certain effect
- Weaken the negative effect on the user
-When in Berserk state, all effects are amplified by 1.5 times
It is not different from War Cry, but the efficiency is much higher. And what I like most of all is that the effect is amplified while in Berserk state.
If the effects of the Lion King's sealed helmet were added to this, he would be able to subdue his enemies with just his voice.
"Let's make the rest quickly. Creating a combination skill."
Lokhan, who was satisfied with the first combination skill, immediately tried the next combination.
[Please specify the action clip or skill book for the desired skill combination.]
"Creating Action Clips."
[Create an action clip. After shouting start, start the action. When you're done, you can shout "Exit."
This time, it wasn't just combining skill books. To make the action more elaborate, I created an action clip that can be referred to as a reference. It is to directly move the body and save the action, use it as the skeleton of a combination skill, or register a part of the action like a skill and link it.
So Rokan made action clips over and over again.
The skill he was trying to create was actually possible to create with only a combination of skill books, but what Rokan wanted was a single clean action without superfluity, so he could only register the action clip after repeating it dozens of times.
"Whoa. I guess this is enough. Register action clip. next… … . Force, Charge, Dash, Strike."
[Combination is possible.]
[Look at the expected use of the combination skill and press the combination completion button.]
[When the combination is completed, the skill book disappears and the combination skill is automatically acquired.]
The operation of the completed skill was simple. There was only the figure of Rokhan, who attacked the enemy at once without using a leaf attack and delivered a blow with the force. Although several skills were connected, it could be said that it was a single movement.
It was too simple considering that most cases of registering a skill link called 'combo' as a combination skill or capturing the power of several types of skills in one shot.
"Combination complete!"
However, Lokhan satisfactorily registered the skill. In actual combat, splendid combo attacks and powerful single shots are important, but efficiency is the most important. The versatility that can be used at any time, the short cooldown, and the speed and power to outwit the opponent can be said to be the best combination.
Of course, the reason was that he lacked skills due to his job change as a Berserker-Berserker-Jin Berserker, but that was the reason he didn't, even though he could produce a special-level destructive power with Leaf Attack, Force, and Strike.
[Please specify the name of the combination skill.]
"A fatal blow."
Instead, it gave strength to the name. What you want is clear. That intention melted into the name and permeated into the skill.
[Fatal Strike] [Combination Skill]
Unleashes an unexpected blow that confuses the opponent.
-250% movement speed for the duration
-400% movement speed when the distance from the enemy is within 3 meters
-200% ATK for 1 time only
- Increases critical hit chance by 50% for 1 time
-Increases critical damage by 200% for 1 time only
A deadly skill that accelerates once with a charge and twice with a dash. However, the stiffness after using the skill was not great. This is because the skill's power enhancement was focused on critical hits.
"Excellent."
Since it has a 50% chance, it could be called a chance skill, but it was a different story when Lokhan used it.
20% by title effect and another 20% by item effect. If you kill enemies consecutively, up to 10% extra! It will have a critical hit chance of at least 80% and at most 100%.
In addition, if the originally terrifying attack power is doubled, it will receive a critical hit damage increase effect and have a maximum attack power of 8 times.
Since you can pour out such things from time to time, how can you not call it a special move?
'Is it 16 times if you use Berserk?'
The mana consumption was subtly burdensome, but even that was not a problem if all stats were doubled and mana was infinite if Berserk was used.
It could not be a skill that was perfect for himself and for a berserker.
Now, there is only one combination skill left. When I repeated the process of making an action clip and inserting a skill book, the combination skill I wanted popped out.
[Rush of Destruction][Combination Skill]
A devastating charge that crushes and topples everything in its way.
-200% movement speed for the duration
-Defense 200% for the duration
-Strength 200%
-Gradually increases power until self-cancelled or stopped
-Additional damage in proportion to rushing power when used
-Inflicts additional damage in inverse proportion to the opponent's toughness level when used
It was another rushing skill with the addition of force, solid body, charge, dash, and shoulder charge.
It is also a skill that has no duration limit and rather becomes stronger as time passes.
Although the consumption of mana increased as much as that, the power was sufficient even if used briefly, so it was useful in many ways. Because it could be used for close-range attacks like a shoulder charge right now.
In this way, the three combination skills that Lokhan boasted were completed.
"I have to stop here for today."
At just the right time, the access limit time flickered, announcing a warning.
He still had a 4th skill slot that others didn't have, but it seemed like he needed to think about it a bit more. A clumsy combination skill was worse than not having one.
Rokan logged out with a satisfied smile.
And I could see that reality had become quite noisy.
