I washed Sarah first, who was covered in sweat and semen, and I also quickly cleaned up after myself and went down to the third floor to have breakfast.

“Wow, the rice is really delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this much delicious rice in a while.”

“Eat a lot, teacher Hyunseong and actress Han Se-ra. You must have been hungry because you moved around a lot more than I did.”

“Haha… Yes, I will eat well.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ga-ryeong Kim.”

“No, why are you scolding me for eating quietly… I also worked hard to protect you as a warrior… ”

“If something bothers you, you just keep your mouth shut and be quiet, right? He went into the bathroom to just wash his hands and help, and the person who was asleep in there did something good.”

“… This is the sadness experienced by a powerless family head, hehehe… ”

“There’s really nothing I can’t say to my wife, who has always packed me lunches for you whenever you’re on duty since I was little. And I made better money, honey.”

As I eat with many people, I find the food to be quite delicious.

I think I was like this too when I thought I would one day fly.

I was able to smile even after the hard work of the hunter was over, and after clearing the dungeon gate with people I thought were colleagues, I ate and drank together… I think I laughed while doing that.

That diminished as I got older and the path to success became less and less visible.

People around me become distant, and I feel burdened by seeing successful people, so I distance myself… I think my smile disappeared just like that.

To forget, I met a woman casually, went on a one-night stand, and ate delicious food, but I didn’t smile. All I could do was smile lightly to show off the atmosphere.

But at least here you don’t have to think about that. Choi Min-soo and Kim Ga-ryeong don’t know about my situation, and if Sarah knew about my situation and liked me more, she would have liked me and not disliked me.

Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy a meal without any burden for the first time in a long time.

And after the meal, we briefly discussed the future direction with everyone.

First of all, the most important business of Choi Min-soo and Kim Ga-ryeong.

“First of all, since we had a hard time today, let’s take a day off and go rescue your daughter right away tomorrow.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much sir… !”

“Of course… Even if you go looking for Nahee with a tired body, you might end up just becoming a burden.”

The first thing that needs to be done is to rescue Choi Min-soo and Kim Ga-ryeong’s daughter.

I am confident that these two people will have an absolutely positive influence on Sarah’s survival. Not only is there a low risk of betrayal because he has a basic personality, but his skills in hunting monsters are now clearly superior to others. In particular, it is safe to say that healer Kim Ga-ryeong is Sarah’s spare life. For these two to have stable party activities, this problem needs to be resolved.

However, I am not going there to serve these two people.

‘And we also have to secure a new area.’

What I talked to everyone while hunting was that emergency quests were given only here. The reason explained in the quest window is that there are no more living zombies in this area. Therefore, Sera was able to awaken as the ‘first’ ‘leader’ of this dimension of ‘Earth’.

‘It’s hard to imagine that every first time will pay off, but it never hurts to give it a try. ‘As long as it’s not too much of a stretch.’

A sharp-witted person will be able to tell through this information that zombies, not monsters, are involved in acquiring the qualifications to rule this area. The fact that the mission was given ‘limited’ to this area is probably because our speed is that fast.

Therefore, first of all, we need to occupy all the upper districts of the district to which we belong, the districts belonging to ‘Seongbuk-gu’. Including Korea University.

“It’s not just for my daughter Choi Na-hee. As you know, Sera received a reward from the emergency quest. And that was because he was the first person on the entire planet to be qualified as a leader.”

I heard that the leadership of this world is decided by voting, like in Korea where I live. However, the current situation cannot be like that in the future. Even more so when these magically awakened people start to take power.

“I don’t know, but the world will definitely be different from before. There was no response from the police or the military. Even though this is Seoul.”

“…Yes. The reason the military, which has firearms, failed to resolve this situation… It must be because there is a problem.”

Choi Min-soo, who realized the seriousness of the situation, added a comment, and Kim Ga-ryeong also did not hide his anxious eyes.

“You should not judge based on previous common sense and standards. Now that the laws and public power that control everyone have been nullified, there will be more people who will accept it as if they had been waiting for it. Without having to check from far away, you can just think of the people you saw yesterday.”

“…I see. Mom and Dad have already done everything they can to live in a country governed by law, but the world we live in today will only get better.

When Sarah agrees with my opinion, the two people’s expressions do not improve, perhaps because they are reminded of the gangster and the woman they saw yesterday.

“…No way. Anyway, it is one of the top three prestigious universities in Korea… There are people out there who would do that… ”

“Nahee’s father. You never know… I heard that there were senior medical students at your medical school who sexually harassed the freshmen. The year I joined you as a professor… ”

“…well. Wherever you go, there are crazy people… Umm… ”

The two began to look at me again with anxious eyes. I guess he never thought that I would be able to handle such dangerous people.

“…Hey, teacher. Then maybe… Just in case… Then, at the Korean university where Nahee will be… ”

“We will definitely exclude anyone who poses a threat to your daughter. We won’t discuss morality or anything like that, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much!!”

I waved my hand at Kim Ga-ryeong, who bowed her head as if it had been relieved for a while, as if it was no big deal.

“Not much to say. And now, there is something I need to do to save your daughter safely.”

“…Well, you are talking about the first awakening of the job you mentioned earlier.”

Everyone except me can now advance their default job once they reach level 10.

And Sarah hasn’t decided on that direction yet.

“Yes. So, I’m going to listen to everyone’s opinions and decide on Sarah’s job.”

“Ah, no, we… ”

“I would like to ask this not only for you, but also for me. Of course, I will make the decision, but I still want to hear the opinions of others, not just Hyunseong oppa.”

“It’s okay if actress Han Se-ra says that, but… ”

In this regard, Sarah and I thought the same.

I am the one with the most experience in this type of combat here, but I still have nothing to lose by hearing opinions from a different perspective. You might come up with some other ideas.

Moreover, if I leave here after the dimensional random chat quest is over, these two people will have to do party activities with Sera. It would be good to give them trust in this regard in advance.

“…Okay. We will think as hard as we can.”

“It’s okay not to feel too burdened. Anyway, in the end, I am the one who makes the decision and takes responsibility.”

In this way, everyone began to worry about the direction of Sarah’s career development.

Sarah looked intently into the air and explained the proposed jobs to us one by one.

The first job is Venom Assasin. They are said to be able to produce poisons that are harmful to the human body, and are specialized in assassinations using poisons.

“Oh? Sounds good? It is a long-standing tradition that dot dealing was ultimately optimized for dealing in games in the past. Well, there is a concept of pure reading being a deadly poison… ”

“This person is really! This is not a game!! Don’t come to your senses!!”

As Choi Min-soo said, I have not seen any profession that uses poison to be weak. Hunters who use magic poison are rare even at the dungeon gate, and are thriving outside of it. Both in a good sense and in a bad sense.

Especially in the era of the apocalypse, being able to create poison harmful to the human body can be a huge advantage in interpersonal combat.

‘But if it’s a poison that doesn’t work on monsters… ?’

I don’t like the fact that it’s limited to the human body. I hope Sarah is safe from monsters. It is clear that people are dangerous, but the most dangerous are ultimately strong monsters.

While she was lost in thought for a moment, Sarah spoke about her new job.

“The second one is called Dagger Assasin. It is said to be highly effective in melee attacks using a dagger, and to be able to move quickly at close range.”

“Are you a thief we all know? That is definitely the standard image of an assassin.”

“I think it suits actress Han Se-ra best so far! Is there anything else as good as this? ?”

Sarah’s movements are agile. He is good with his hands and learns quickly.

It wasn’t much different from the roles I had played so far. Therefore, it is stable. Among hunters, there are these types of strong people, so it is useful to teach them what I have learned.

“I think this looks pretty good too. And then… ”

The third job is Rogue. It is said that it specializes in dismantling and setting up traps, and stealing other people’s items.

“Hmm… This is a bit… ”

“Do I look good? It would be safe and good if traps were set up where we live right now. From monsters or people.”

“That’s true, but wouldn’t it be too bad in battle? In our area, all monsters and zombies have been captured, so there is no need to rush… ”

“I think so too. Moreover, if it is theft… I think there may be some inconveniences later when friction arises with other people. It could cause unnecessary misunderstanding.”

While Choi Min-soo was positive about this, Kim Ga-ryeong and Sarah were negative about it.

I definitely don’t think it’s a good job for Sarah’s survival. In particular, if it becomes known that Sarah’s job attracts a lot of attention because she is a celebrity, she may become embroiled in an unnecessary controversy.

‘Because fame doesn’t always work in a good way.’

“And… This time, one more job option was added as a reward for becoming the first leader.”

Sarah spoke of the last option in a slightly hesitant voice.

Shadow Manipulator.

It is said that you can use assassination techniques using the power of shadows, and you can use the skills of two of the jobs listed above with reduced effectiveness.

“What, what! I think this is a winner! I don’t know what the power of the shadow is, but it somehow seems very strong… !”

“Hmm… Still, for some reason, the words behind it bother me a bit. Don’t you think that if you do it wrong, it could end up being a bad job?”

“I actually thought that too. So at first I really liked it, but then I got a little worried… Unlike other professions, there is little that can be inferred. I don’t know how much weakened skills I’m using, and how strong the power of shadow is… ”

It’s the power of shadow… It’s a type I’ve never heard of. There is nothing I can teach because it is unknown territory even for me. That’s why I hesitate.

But what if you could use the skills of other professions, and supplement those weakened skills with the power of shadow… ?

‘And since it was an option given as a special reward, I don’t think they would have given something useless.’

This is the realm of intuition rather than certainty.

I looked Sarah in the eyes and spoke to her.

“Seraya. First of all, how much were you thinking about the last option?”

“Yes… But I hesitated because I didn’t know much… ”

She must have worried and worried more than I did.

So, I thought I needed to give him a little push here.

“Then let’s be a shadow caster, Sera. I think that’s right.”

“Is that okay? But if I happen to be neither one nor the other… ”

“Then what? I just need to protect Sarah a little harder. Isn’t that right?”

I told Sarah a joke and laughed silently.

Sometimes, a look full of trust is stronger than various words of persuasion and explanation.

Sarah made eye contact with me and looked at me blankly for a moment, then nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. This is the reward your brother gave you in the first place, right? So it’s right for you to choose.”

“I’ve never really thought about it that way, but if it’s convenient, you can think about it that way, haha.”

“If something goes wrong, you can take care of me for the rest of my life. Isn’t that right, everyone?”

I looked at the couple, who just smiled slightly because they were looking at me, and both Sarah and I felt sorry. I didn’t really want to create an atmosphere like that. I think I have a reason to go to Korean University quickly.

Sarah, embarrassed, scratched the back of her head and held out her finger into the air.

and,

Hua Aak —!

A black energy appeared around Sarah and swept through her body.

* * *

The next morning, after waking up after a good night’s rest without thinking about anything, we decided to go to the store to pick up the necessary supplies before heading to Korea University.

“As expected, it was here. I guess I thought there was nothing to gain. Right?”

“…This guy… !”

“Sera! Can’t you come here quickly!”

“……”

We encountered a group of people who would despise our achievements more than anyone else.
