Episode 176.

“… … .”

Jeong So-yeon froze in a daze.

It was because my mind turned white from the sudden explosion.

Each of the legendary professions was designed to have a powerful impact within the game.

But two of those jobs went to one person?

Is that even true?

Jeong So-yeon’s expression became grave.

‘… … I’m screwed.’

If this person had been a normal user, I wouldn’t have been this worried.

Rather, he might have liked it because it was fun.

Because the internal operation and balance of the game were automatically taken care of by AI.

It could have been something they just trusted AI and had fun monitoring.

However, this is a user who has been famous as a plunderer player since Avala Online 1!

What if Isin uses that power only to slaughter users?

And even then, what if there is no one to stop it?

A disaster will probably happen.

The incidents and accidents that occurred in Avala Online 1 were disasters so huge that they seemed cute.

‘… … Seriously, what should I do?’

Because of this, a thousand thoughts passed through her head.

For a moment, I thought about getting my hands on the game.

Of course, I knew it wouldn’t work, so I just thought about it… .

The fact that you even had that thought tells you how serious the situation is.

“I… … but is this even possible?”

Park Sung-hwan asked after seeing her expression.

When I cooled down a bit and thought about it again, something seemed strange.

“… … Huh? What?”

“One person having two jobs. Isn’t that unprecedented? If it was possible in the first place, there’s no way the rankers wouldn’t have done it by now.”

Jeong So-yeon nodded and answered.

“Um… I’m already doing something similar.”

“yes?”

“For example… .”

One person playing more than one ‘role’.

This was possible from the beginning.

For example, as a healer, you could stand in front and fight while holding a melee weapon like a vanguard user and heal yourself.

Of course, due to the difference in the stats taken, it is not as efficient as the vanguard users, but it was important that it was possible.

In fact, Ian and many other magic rankers always train in close combat to prepare for emergencies.

Thanks to this, in some cases, these users were even better at close combat than the original vanguard users.

On the other hand, there were cases where vanguard users had considerable controllable abilities using weapons such as bows or muskets.

This was possible because the basic physical strength of the rankers was extremely excellent, and their combined stats were overwhelmingly higher than those of regular users.

That’s how you blur the differences in occupations by weight class.

but.

Jeong So-yeon shook her head.

“… … ‘Occupation’ won’t do.”

To be exact, it shouldn’t have happened.

If you want to change jobs, you need a change officer.

Examples include the mysterious Yatakyo priest that Jeong Yu-ra met and the Killer that Isin first met.

Users start out with nothing and gain experience or skills for a specific job through these job transfer officers, and acquire a job.

If not, you have to go through a very special process.

For example, like Ezia, who silently continues to catch monsters that are not suitable for beginners without saying a word, or like Arthur, who does crazy things during the Orc’s Test…

Because of this, it was impossible to get another job unless this process was completely eliminated.

So, although ‘job switching’ could happen, often times abandoning the original job and taking on a different job, it was impossible to obtain two jobs.

Even in the above case, the job and stats to be changed had to be compatible.

It’s not that it’s a duplicate acquisition, but it’s incredibly difficult even if you just replace it!

‘but….’

However, Lee Shin’s case was a little different.

This is because Lee Shin did not become a murderer through a normal process from the beginning.

* * *

“Status window.”

•Name: Lee Shin.

•Occupation: Warrior.

•Level: 247

•HP: 35,900•MP: 4,600

•Strength: 888•Agility: 2,444

• Stamina: 356 • Wisdom: 130

•Remaining stats: 50

•Living: 1,177

•Notoriety: 24,000

•Fame: 2,001,700

•Charm: 111

“hmm.”

The two letters ‘Yongsa’ appearing at the very top.

Yishin muttered to himself.

‘It’s become real… … .’

I had been doubting my eyes for quite some time.

Because I thought it was impossible for one person to have two jobs.

This has been common sense since Avala Online 1.

but….

‘… … .’

It actually happened.

Even after waiting for quite some time, it wasn’t a bug since there was no AI intervention.

So, does this mean that this is systematically possible?

After much thought, this is the conclusion that Ishin reached.

‘Oh, by any chance?’

Lee Shin’s career path was quite unusual.

There was no previous job that everyone else had, and there was no special process to go through.

It just made me notorious… .

At some point, it became murderous.

In other words, if you think about it, the condition that Isin had to meet when he changed his profession to Murder was ‘overwhelmingly high notoriety stats’.

Your career is determined by this alone!

… … But now, this person has lost all of the notoriety stats that were the basis of this.

At the same time, several key title effects derived from that infamy stat were also closed.

This would have essentially the same effect as resetting the account.

Because everything that was the basis of that character was gone.

“ah.”

Yishin let out a cry of realization.

How was it possible to have multiple jobs?

‘That’s what it was.’

Because I have nothing right now.

Because he did not become a murderer through a normal process, Isin suffered a lot of damage in the beginning.

I didn’t have many skills, and it was hard to find the remaining legacies of murder.

But the situation turned out this way, so the initial difficulties actually turned out to be beneficial.

Thanks to that, I ended up having two legendary professions that others would have a hard time getting even one of.

This would make it almost twice as strong… .

‘… … No, isn’t that it?’

Although it was a double job change, strictly speaking, there were some restrictions.

The point is that it is impossible to achieve performance in both professions at the same time.

While Isin uses the skill, he cannot use the killing skill, and when ends, he cannot use the warrior’s skills.

If used appropriately, it could have a great effect, but on the other hand, it could also be seen as a result of the increased workload that Lee Shin had to do.

Just like when I was a murderer, the warrior suddenly changed jobs and doesn’t have any decent skills, so I have to go out and look for them again like I did before, like I was heading to the bare ground.

‘… … That’s annoying.’

Isin frowned.

Even as a descendant of Murseong, I had already gotten involved in many troublesome things, so I had no idea how much more there would be for a warrior to do.

The name itself is ‘Yongsa’, so there must be at least a lot more of them than the descendants of Murseong.

Above all, the period during which Lee Shin could use was only about ten hours a week.

As the skill level goes up, the duration will increase, but it won’t be efficient enough to allow you to freely switch between the two jobs.

‘Then in the end, my main job will be murder.’

Because most of the time when the reversal is not turned on, you will have to spend it killing.

More than anything, that suited Lee Shin’s personality better.

In most situations, a strong killing skill is much easier to use than a warrior who only gets combat power bonuses by doing honorable deeds, especially in PVP.

After thinking about the above, Ishin came to a conclusion.

‘I don’t think there’s any particular need to raise it. I can just use it when necessary.’

For example, when you go to meet a king or nobles like before.

Or when you are being chased by their army (which happens to Yishin often) and are in danger of being captured without being able to move… .

Anyway, I think it would be quite effective if used as a crisis escape tool in this situation.

As for skills and job quests, you can do them one by one later when you have time.

After gathering his thoughts, Lee Shin came out.

“Are you done with your work? Huh?”

Gilaim, who was approaching Isin, asked in surprise.

[The fame stat is extremely high!]

[Gillaim’s intimacy increases.]

“Do you feel a little different now?”

“I guess it’s just my mood. Or maybe it’s because I’ve leveled up?”

“Is that so…? Anyway, it feels a little better than usual.”

“Let’s go out for now.”

“yes.”

Isin whispered to the rankers waiting outside.

I’m going out now, so go make some noise outside.

-What?! What are you talking about all of a sudden!

-No, I didn’t say anything like that!

Of course there was chaos, but that was expected.

Lee Shin pushed on stubbornly.

-Just cause an explosion and we’ll take care of the rest…

“That was a lie.”

-hey!!!!

“Okay, let’s get ready quickly. You can’t leave us behind anyway.”

-… Huh? Why?

One of the rankers asked, perhaps curious despite his anger.

Why is it difficult?

Lee Shin answered simply.

“Because I won’t tolerate it. If you don’t help me, I’ll post on the community who caused the explosion in the dungeon.”

-!!!!

“Then you and your guild will perish too, right? Since your opponent is Shining Star.

-You, you’ll be ruined too! Then!

“Haha, then go ahead and try it. I don’t know who would suffer more.”

-… … Crazy guy, really crazy guy… … .

The splendid speech of a 100% pure lunatic!

I could hear the rankers sighing.

Really, I really don’t want to do it… .

But it was also true that there was no way to stop this god, so they hesitated for a long time before answering.

-… … Okay. I’ll do it.

“I thought about it carefully.”

-Whisper me when you’re ready. I’ll do whatever it takes for you to get there.

“okay.”

Isin headed to the first floor of the dungeon.

Although he didn’t see a single user on his way to the entrance, Isin knew that this wasn’t because the opponent had no intention of capturing him.

There is only one entrance to the dungeon.

Since you have to go through the entrance to get out anyway, they must have concentrated people there.

“But weren’t you trying to negotiate with the Holy Relic? I heard the other party wanted to talk too.”

“We should try it first and if it doesn’t work out, we should do that. It’s a good pattern, so it would be a waste to use it as a one-time thing in a place like this.”

There are other reasons too.

Since ancient times, negotiations have been conducted when one side has the upper hand.

Or maybe you were already prepared to lose everything.

That way, you can seize control by grasping and shaking your opponent’s weakness until the end, and you can take what you want by putting a lid on them.

“… … And, it would be better if you just pay attention and then just run away.”

“Did you run away?”

“Yes. For example, if we accept the terms of negotiation and then run away without giving the relic, we can negotiate again later.”

Of course I’ll get some hate… .

It didn’t matter to Lee Shin, who wasn’t shaken by such things at all.

“Rather, it would be better if you brought up the fact that you were cursed at at that time and used it as a nitpick during negotiations.”

“aha!”

Arthur let out a sigh of admiration.

And Jung Yu-ra touched her forehead.

“What are you saying to that kid… … .”

The person who calmly says scary things, or the guy whose eyes sparkle at those words… .

She asked, a thought that occurred to her absentmindedly.

“It doesn’t happen like that outside?”

“Of course. You’ll hear people call you crazy.”

“… … I guess you know.”

“Who knows better than me?”

Because I experienced it a lot when I was young.

To be honest, I still don’t understand why I’m being told that when I’m saying the right thing…

I now have a general understanding that there is a specific answer to each situation or question.

…anyway.

After arriving at the entrance, Isin asked Gilaim.

“What do you see outside?”

“I see a lot of them. It seems like the opponent has also prepared well.”

“Hmm, I guess so.”

Looking at Gil Ra-im’s slightly tense expression, it seemed that even if they helped from outside, it might be difficult for everyone to escape safely without being caught.

‘Still, I have to give it a try.’

It’s not too late to do everything you can and then start negotiating.

Isin whispered to the rankers.

“Are you ready?”

-Okay, okay.

“Then let’s get started right away.”

-……I get it.

The rankers answered with determination as they faced the second terrorist attack.

Even though it was something that Lee Shin forced me to do… .

Anyway, if it had to be done, it had to be successful.

Boom! Boom boom!

Soon, a commotion broke out outside the dungeon, accompanied by a loud explosion.
