Area of Senses

I manipulated the auction house a few more times to check the prices in order to confirm the overall market price of items.

As a result, combat-related items were forming high prices, while cumbersome things like life skills and gathering were forming lower prices.

Could it be that a workshop has come in and is running bots?

It was a very plausible story.

Now that I’ve obtained the necessary information, it’s time to head to the Lunaris capital city.

I need to get the necessary job there and proceed with the full-fledged story quest.

As I started moving along the road, many people’s gazes flew towards me.

Envy, jealousy, and admiration.

These are gazes I haven’t received since a long time ago, except when I achieved the first clear achievement for a raid boss.

Those gazes are directed at me.

After a moment of thought, I was able to realize.

Why their gazes are directed at me.

The game has already entered the area of senses. It’s a story that it’s difficult for ordinary users to acquire this kind of equipment. Even if it’s equipment that can be obtained basically in the beginner area.

The tokens obtained from hunting orcs also form an expensive price. This is because it is an item needed for repeat quests.

As I was walking along the well-paved road, a sudden message popped up in front of me.

[Guild Invitation]

Guild Name: Starlight

YES/NO

I was startled by the unexpected invitation and looked around.

Then, a knight wearing splendid full plate mail waved his hand at me.

,Hello~,

A refreshing voice, full of confidence. The nickname and guild name floating above his head come into view.

The one who sent me the guild invitation message is him.

,What’s your purpose?,

,Ah, I’m sorry. I was going to look at the information, but I think I accidentally pressed the wrong button.,

Is his word the truth? But there’s nothing good about arguing.

I nodded and pressed the NO button.

[Guild invitation has been rejected.]

I cleared the message window that popped up in front of me, but the knight was still blocking my path.

I was hoping he’d move aside soon. As I looked up at him with that intention, the knight smiled and said.

,Ahahaha. Are you perhaps playing solo?,

He asks about other companions.

I took a deep breath and drew my sword. Is he targeting users who act alone?

When I was collecting information through the internet, I had already confirmed that griefing targeting solo users was rampant.

But the knight’s purpose didn’t seem to be that.

When I drew my sword, he was noticeably flustered and opened his mouth.

,Ah, that’s not it. I was just curious. We’re recruiting guild members.,

,Recruiting guild members?,

,Yes, there are very few people who have reached level 10 or higher.,

At the knight’s words, I looked around.

Besides this guy in front of me, other high-level users were waiting at this intersection.

Their gazes were all checking the level 10 users passing through this intersection.

,There seem to be many other level 10s?,

The knight only gave an awkward smile at my words.

He was openly showing me favor. Rather, I’m not uncomfortable because the purpose is so obvious.

It’s much more comfortable than those disgusting guys who approach while hiding their inner selves.

I check around one more time.

Level 10 users receive guild join offers while walking along the road. But there was a commonality among those who received the invitation.

Those who are fully equipped with equipment that can be obtained through repeat quests, or those with a small number of party members.

So, they are attracting those with skills or financial means to their guild.

How would I have appeared to this knight?

He acts alone without a party. At the same time, he is fully equipped with the equipment that can be obtained in this area.

,Do you think I have the qualifications to enter that guild?,

,Of course. If it’s Yeon-nim like you, other guilds would welcome you with open arms.,

At his words, I put my sword away.

Then a bigger smile spreads across the knight’s face.

He seemed to think that I would accept his offer.

But, no. I have no intention of joining a guild yet.

In my memory, knowing the future, or rather, another similar world, the Starlight guild was not a very famous place.

There are no memorable impressive events. It just means it’s a so-so, ordinary social guild.

,I don’t really feel like it right now…,

As I trailed off and turned my head, he waved his finger in the air.

Immediately after, a semi-transparent window appeared in front of my eyes.

[Friend Request.]

Nickname: Nakbi

Level: 22

Job: Knight

YES/NO

,Would you like to accept my friend request? If you change your mind, please leave me a message.,

It seemed like it would be good to accept. If I reject all of this guy’s offers, the other guys standing behind him will follow me and bother me.

I nodded.

Soon after, the friend list is updated. He’s a guy who will be deleted after today anyway. I don’t remember his nickname.

Receiving the friend request was effective. Even if I walked down the road, other people didn’t stick to me.

But friend requests keep flying in. I hate being bothered, so I accepted them all.

By the time I arrived at the Lunaris capital city, my friend window had exceeded 20 people.

As you can tell from the name, the Lunaris Empire is a country that sanctifies the moon.

It is a place where you can obtain myths, religions, and jobs related to the moon.

The appearance of the buildings, which are said to have been made by tearing off the subtle moonlight, captivates the eyes.

I manipulate the mouse and keyboard, and see it with my own two eyes and feel it with my skin, not through the monitor screen.

In reality, it’s just the radio waves coming out of the capsule tricking the brain, but the feeling wasn’t bad.

It’s time to decide on a job. Since I had already decided on a job route in my head, I moved my steps without any particular hesitation.

A small amount of potions came into the inventory as a reward for the achievement of entering the first capital city.

I skip the jobs that can be quickly changed in the capital city. Swordsman, mage, archer, warrior, knight, etc.

There were several other things, but the job I chose could be changed in the middle of a mountain far away from here.

I leave the capital city and climb the small mountain next to it.

There were many people because it was a map prepared for gathering, but my purpose was higher up.

It’s not like a hidden hidden job. It’s just that the location of the job change NPC was in a slightly inconvenient place.

When I arrived at the middle of the mountain, I was able to find a man sitting on a large rock.

[Valtheim]

Highlander Job Changer.

Highlander. That was the name of the job I was going to change to.

The job change condition was very simple. If you talk to him and pay a small amount of silver, the job skills will be unlocked immediately.

,Are you interested in Highlander?,

I nodded.

Valtheim got up from his seat at my answer and drew his sword.

Seureureung- The blue light shining in the bright sunlight scatters in all directions. I frowned at the appearance of the sword that blurred my vision.

,In order to become a Highlander, you must take a simple test.,

Test, of course I know it well.

All I have to do is give him a certain amount of silver.

That’s why I was manipulating the inventory to take out the money.

A light settled in Valtheim’s eyes, and he suddenly rushed out.

An attack that soars from bottom to top. A blue flash stretches out along the trajectory of the sword.

Unconsciousness reacts to the sudden attack.

The gaze moves quickly and reads the trajectory of the attack.

An attack flying towards the head, if I stay still, my head will be split by a sword strike starting from the chin.

One step.

It’s a step I took to avoid the attack.

With a slightly shifted step, a thin flash lightly grazes the bangs and passes by.

,You passed!,

Immediately after avoiding the attack, a lot of semi-transparent messages pop up in front of me.

I couldn’t help but make a bewildered expression. Has the content of the test changed?

Of course, it wasn’t impossible. It’s the same but a different world. I could admit that there could be differences in the details.

But it’s so sudden. If it were ordinary people, not me, their heads would have been split and they would have died before they could even try to change jobs.

A weapon was given as a job change 기념.

It was a weapon that could be equipped right away at level 10, and it could be repaired, so I would be carrying it around for quite a long time.

[Highlander]

Attack Power +65

Level Limit: 10

It is a weapon that can be obtained when changing to a Highlander job. It has excellent basic performance and considerable durability.

It is a sword that can freely move between two-handed and one-handed, and its utilization varies depending on the user’s capabilities.

It’s longer and heavier than a one-handed sword.

I take out the sword, swing it with both hands, and put it on my shoulder.

It felt quite stable.

After that, I immediately check the skills.

[Winning Streak]

When monsters and users are defeated, a stacking buff is created.

Movement speed and attack speed increase by 1% per stack, and the maximum stack is 10 stacks.

The buff is maintained until the end of the battle.

[Unwavering Spirit]

Reduces physical damage taken by 10%.

[One Who Does Not Believe in Supernatural Powers]

Increases magic damage taken by 10%.

[Counterattack]

Counters the opponent’s attack.

If used at the right timing, it inflicts fatal damage.

[Threatening Shout]

Provokes all opponents within a certain range.

The provoked opponent is debuffed with increased damage taken.

[Vitality]

Increases natural health recovery speed.

[Dash]

Dashes at high speed.

If an opponent is hit at the end of the dash distance, they are stunned.

Becomes unstoppable during the dash.

It’s not a good job for beginners to choose as their first job.

The Highlander’s passive and dash skills were attractive enough, but there is a lack of active skills that can deal strong damage.

It was a job chosen to take advantage of the passive after the upper job was unlocked, but in this season, it will be one of the avoided jobs.

Since I changed jobs, it was an opportunity to experiment with new equipment and skills.

The things about Harang that had been floating in my head had already disappeared a long time ago.

The hunting grounds that can be easily accessed near the Lunaris capital city are the Green Forest field, where animal-type monsters such as dire wolves and human-type monsters such as bandits appear.

Many people were walking around at the entrance of the forest.

Those who are looking for a party and those who are going out hunting. Everyone has poor equipment.

It’s a story that there are few people who have proper equipment like me.

People’s attention started to gather because of the appearance of the equipment.

I hurriedly left the place.

As I entered the full-fledged hunting grounds, flashy skill effects burst out everywhere.

There are no seats.

One party after another is sitting and waiting in the place where the monsters are respawning.

As soon as the monsters respawn, a blade is stuck in their necks and they die.

I frown as I watch the scene. Is it fun to do that?

I passed them and headed deep into the forest.

The place I arrived at was the bandit’s territory.

Like the orcs, they were human-type monsters.

The place was deserted. Only a very small number of parties were hunting, and even then, they were just circling around the outside and hunting one or two bandits that occasionally came out.

A fierce smile hangs on my lips. My heart starts pounding as if anticipating what will happen in the future.

As if reacting to it, my legs move forward and strength enters my waist.

A strange power starts from the legs kicking off the ground.

The preparation posture for activating the skill begins.

The sword that stretches out behind me extends like a tail.

The blue mana that wraps around the body protects the whole body and increases the speed.

[Dash]

I am shot towards the bandit at an overwhelming speed faster than running.

It was that moment.

[Shutdown Notice]

You can no longer play the game.

The connection to the server will be terminated.

,Ah…,

With a short exclamation, the game ended.
