Login Psychopath - Chapter 153



Only Noblemtl

Episode 153.

“!?”

Jia opened her eyes wide.

this….

What is this?

Because this job wasn’t one of the hundreds she had researched beforehand.

But there was nothing particularly strange.

The number of professions that existed in Avala Online was far greater than she had ever seen before, and was still growing.

This is because the entity that controls and coordinates events within Avala Online is not the game’s management.

The entity that adjusts the balance within the game and creates new jobs and quests is AI.

When individual users show unique characteristics in their tendencies, behaviors, and skills.

The AI ​​automatically creates appropriate jobs and quests.

Thanks to this, there are already hundreds and thousands of professions in Avala Online, and the number continues to grow.

Just like now.

The mouth is heavy, the black is light.

A true inspector has no need for conversation.

A well-sharpened sword can speak a hundred words, and silence can speak a thousand.

[You can check more detailed information by accepting the job offer.]

[Would you like to change your job to ?]

[If accepted, the job change will be processed immediately and cannot be cancelled.]

“… … .”

Jia didn’t choose right away.

It was also a problem that I couldn’t cancel once I accepted, and I was confused about what to do because unplanned things kept happening one after another.

But the worries didn’t last long.

‘I accept.’

After all, it was a rare profession.

Ratings generally don’t lie.

More than anything, it was a job recommended by the training instructor who recognized her, so I wondered if it could be a strange job.

Tiring.

[I have accepted your previous offer!]

[I am changing my job to .]

[Acquire 7 basic inspection skills and 2 job skills.]

[Sarah teaches one of her visionary sword techniques to an adventurer she recognizes.]

[You can now check detailed information in the status window!]

‘Status window.’

She turned on the status window and checked her skills.

Thanks to changing jobs through normal procedures, I now have a whopping 10 skills.

However, most of them, 7, were basic skills like other general job inspectors, and the only special ones were 2 job skills and Sera’s vision swordsmanship.

‘Check your skills.’

Stab straight with minimal movement.

The pre-action of the skill is shortened in proportion to the Agility stat.

When a critical hit is triggered, 3x the damage is inflicted.

No need to elaborate.

If you are a prosecutor, show me with a sword.

Now the blood and flesh on your sword will speak for you.

•When remaining silent, all stats increase by 15%. Additionally, health and mana regenerate 50% faster.

•When dealing with NPCs, the probability of them feeling fear increases.

‘… … .’

Those were not bad skills.

First, Sarah’s vision skill.

Although it wasn’t a particularly great effect for a technique called Vision Swordsmanship, it was useful for Jia, who focused on stabbing attacks.

And the below was also very easy for her to utilize.

It was a skill that gave her a beneficial effect in exchange for satisfying certain conditions, but those conditions weren’t that difficult for her.

Since the effect would be activated automatically even if you just kept your mouth shut, it was safe to assume that it would be permanent.

The problem was the last skill.

Don’t make any companions.

The test that focuses on the back is bound to be weak.

•30% increase in experience gain when playing solo.

•When playing in a party, the experience gain rate of you and your party members is reduced by 99%.

“!?”

Jia’s eyes opened wide.

A skill that is practically exclusive to solo play!

No, to be exact, it should be seen as a skill that forces solo play.

The moment a party member appears, the experience gain rate is reduced by 99%, which is a penalty as strong as the curse of malice that Isin possesses.

Of course, depending on how you use it, it’s not such a bad skill.

Because as much as there were penalties, there were also clear advantages.

Experience points increase by 30% when there is no party.

Since it wasn’t a particularly difficult condition to achieve, it was easy to enjoy the passive effect.

And this easy and simple effect would become more effective as her level increased.

As your level increases, the amount of experience needed to level up increases exponentially.

In that sense, it wasn’t such a bad skill.

Rather, if you are someone who likes to play games alone and prefers solo play, there is nothing better than this.

In some ways, Lee Ji-ah was also one of these people.

So, it was AI that chose these jobs for me.

but.

“… … .”

After reading the skill description, Zia froze in place.

The sense of accomplishment I had just a moment ago suddenly disappeared and everything before my eyes went dark.

It had to be that way.

She had originally started the game with the intention of partying with Isin, but this effectively meant she was declared incapable of party play.

‘… What should I do?’

A plan doomed from the start!

I thought about deleting it, but… .

‘……no.’

If you delete your Avala Online account, it cannot be recreated for at least 6 months.

This was to prevent users who don’t like certain job titles from creating characters indiscriminately and ruining the AI.

It seemed like a long time to wait six months.

If you don’t want to suck your thumb for half a year, you should have just kept going with the character you created, whether it’s Miuna or Gouna.

‘… … .’

But how?

Lee Ji-ah was lost in thought.

How can I play the game with other people while keeping this character intact?

The answer came soon.

Because there was only one piece of content in Avala Online that could be done without worrying about experience penalty.

Fortunately, she knew that this was content that Isin really liked.

‘arena.’

Right in the arena.

There is a strong perception that the arena is only one-on-one, but this is not true.

In private arenas set up in some wealthy estates, competitions with various rules are held.

If it was an arena with rules that allowed multiple people to participate together, I would have been able to participate with Isin.

The only problem was her.

When it comes to the arena, no matter what the rules, it is basically a fight between people.

If you’re reluctant to even talk to NPCs, is it really possible to fight and engage in combat with real people?

“… … .”

To be honest, I wasn’t confident.

Although I have received numerous consultations and treatments.

The wounds I received as a child have not yet fully healed.

You’d probably be scared.

But it was also clear that this was the only way.

So after she came out of the game.

I sent a message to someone.

‘… I have to.’

It was her attending physician, Jeong Hee-seon.

If you can’t change your account, you have to change yourself.

The answer came soon.

-Come to the hospital tomorrow.

* * *

Three days passed by quickly.

As soon as the death penalty ended, Lee Shin logged into the game.

At the same time, numerous system messages that he had not seen because of his instant death belatedly greeted him.

[I killed a saint!]

[Notoriety increases dramatically.]

[The first achievement on the server! You will obtain the title, !]

All abilities are superior when facing other legendary beings.

‘the first?’

This still remains?

Even excluding myself, there are seven other legendary users?

‘… No.’

Ishin was a bit skeptical for a moment, but upon thinking about it again, it made sense.

Except for himself, all other legendary job users were high rankers.

They grew up without any shortcomings under the full support of the guild, so how likely is it that they will be killed by other users?

Of course, if they are a high ranker, they might aim for it, but usually they don’t.

Even if we fought, it would only result in losses for both parties.

While the two are fighting, other rankers are given an opportunity to advance.

Because of this, when it comes to high rankers, where the evaluations for each ranking are extremely divided, they tend to avoid conflict as much as possible.

Although he was a high ranker, he was the only one in the history of Avala Online who constantly picked on other rankers.

‘The effect isn’t bad.’

It was a title that was only effective in certain situations, but it was good even considering that.

Because of his job characteristics and disposition, he may have to fight other legends later.

If that situation ever comes up, then this title will come in handy.

[Caution!]

[If your identity is revealed, the sect will designate you as an enemy of the sect for murdering a saint of the sect.]

[ has been completed.]

[You have followed your own path. Your fame stat increases by 999.]

[You will receive the job skill as a reward for completing the quest.]

Blocks the opponent’s attack.

Afterwards, you will receive damage several times greater.

“!!!”

Isin’s eyes opened wide.

A very simple explanation.

But Isin knew exactly what those two short lines meant.

‘Counterattack!’

Counterattack.

This is a skill that most melee dealers, such as warriors or assassins, can acquire, and is literally designed to counter the opponent’s attacks.

If the job rank is high like this, it is possible to return damage with multiple times the damage, rather than simply receiving it.

That is, theoretically, overwhelming performance.

However, actual user reviews were mixed.

It is true that the skill’s potential is extremely high, but it was designed to be proportionally difficult to use.

Unless you are a user with a certain level of game sense, it would be better to just erase all thoughts about counterattacks from your mind.

but.

‘Not me.’

It wasn’t Lee Shin.

Isin was confident that he could utilize this skill better than anyone else.

The fact that this skill was given to a user who once dominated the arena was significant in itself.

After checking the status window, Isin headed straight to the territory.

Since I hadn’t been able to log in for a few days, I decided to stop by the estate and meet the Count.

The exhibition hall I had requested before I died should have been completed by now, so I had to check that out as well.

‘And then I can go to the royal capital and come back.’

If you ask Wick, you will be able to meet the king.

They must be on edge with the recent death of Duke Martinez, so all I need is some concrete evidence of treason.

We arrived at the estate soon.

At the same time, several messages welcomed Isin.

[The exhibition hall has been completed.]

[The art level of the territory increases.]

[Now that three or more items in your territory have reached a certain level, new facilities are unlocked.]

-arena

-Tower of Trials

-Expansion of training facilities

After spending a huge amount of money recently on fortifying the territory, it was impossible to build all three.

I had to choose one.

“hmm.”

Personally, I wanted to build the arena first, but considering the quests, it wasn’t a good choice.

Since it is important to increase the military power of the territory, it is a good idea to choose either the Tower of Trials or the expansion of the training facility.

After talking to the Count, I thought I could choose one.

Lee Shin walked towards Yeongju Castle.

‘But why are there so many people?’

Isin looked around and tilted his head.

Of course, it was originally a territory with many users, but it wasn’t to this extent?

It felt like it had almost doubled in just a few days.

And the reason soon became known.

“……hmm?”

A familiar face seen in the distance.

‘what!’

Isin’s eyes opened wide.

Grania and her guild members were wandering around Isin’s territory.
