NOVEL NEXT Episode 24
Episode 24
After setting up the thread and selling weapons, I managed to secure enough gold. Nonetheless, it seems my notoriety was somewhat boosted thanks to Mai. I should express my gratitude to her. Since everyone received tutorial rewards and had been steadily collecting gold, the weapons sold for about 20,000 to 50,000 gold each. Well, they might have sold for a higher price given the current market, but it can’t be helped since there are many foreigners without much gold. I had acquired quite a few weapons, so in total, I earned around 700,000 gold, which should allow me some freedom with my spending. By selling them, I also gained various titles, and now I can further enhance my stats.
Of course, I already delivered staffs, swords, and axes to Mai, so my nightly goal is achieved. Thanks to battling endlessly to gather weapons, I’ve also reached level 30, so it’s time for a job change.
When I arrived at the Job Change Temple, the usual sister was there.
“Can I change jobs now?”
“Yes. Since the priest is off duty, I’ll be taking over.”
“…Don’t you need to sleep?”
“I’ve rested in spirit, so I’m fine.”
“Resting in spirit means you haven’t slept, right?”
“Even if it’s just in spirit, sleeping is important. If you sleep in spirit, it counts as sleeping.”
“Still sounds like a black–”
“Take this!”
After receiving the obligatory slap, I proceeded with the job change.
“Do you know much about job changes?”
“Is there something special about it? Won’t it just enhance the [Assassin]?”
Isn’t that how most games work? Like, a [Warrior] becomes a [Magic Warrior]?
As I tilted my head in confusion, the sister smiled.
“If that’s your understanding, it might be worth discussing. For this job change, Yuto-sama has two options. One is to further master the current occupation, and the other is to choose a different occupation.”
“…You can choose a different occupation?”
“Yes. Which will you choose?”
…Hmm.
The menu screen appeared, and I began to review the detailed information.
I see. Even if you choose a different occupation, you can still use the skills from the primary occupation.
I have several occupations available now, but for example, if I choose the job [Assassin] and [Warrior], I’ll be able to use both of their skills.
Depending on the combination of occupations, new ones can emerge.
Perhaps eventually, you’ll be able to change occupations, or something similar might happen. It’s hard to say.
What should I do about my occupation?
In the future, as more strategy information becomes available, recommended combinations of occupations might be suggested, but there seem to be quite a few occupations already… Furthermore, combining general skills with occupation skills is also possible…
There are endless possibilities.
If I learn both [Warrior] and [Mage], I might become something like a [Magic Warrior], which seems powerful and likely to become popular. Being able to use both would be ideal, after all.
However, personally… the [Assassin] style still suits me best.
Let’s focus on mastering one. That’s also a choice.
Choosing the same occupation also seems to grant additional skills, so it’s not bad.
“Then, I’ll go with [Assassin].”
“Understood.”
The moment the sister said that, my job change was complete.
I acquired three new skills:
– [Disguiser]: Can disguise appearance and name for a certain period.
– [Assassin’s Strike]: Increased power when the enemy is unaware.
– [Resistance to Transformation]: Resistance to all abnormal statuses.
All the skills seem good, but at first glance, [Disguiser] seems the most convenient.
However, none of them seem like finishing moves…
Convenient… though they may be, there aren’t many skills that enhance me personally.
Huh? Could it be that [Assassin] is a dud job?
Still, none of them are necessarily finishing moves.
Well, as long as [Assassin] doesn’t use flashy skills, it’s fine in its own way.
“As a bonus for choosing the same occupation, all skills will be slightly enhanced.”
The sister mentioned.
…Oh, so that’s another effect.
In that case, maybe it’s better to master one occupation after all?
It’s complicated.
I also gained a new title:
– [Second Job Changer (S Rank)]: Increases the effects of all skills.
That’s nice. I don’t know how much it will increase, but it’s not a bad skill to have.
For now, after purchasing the three newly unlocked skill books, I headed to the clan shop.
