Chapter 44: True Berserker (1)
[You have leveled up.]
"Whoa, finally!"
It had been several days since he entered the cave of death. In a normal instant dungeon, it would disappear the moment the last user entered logged out, but this was an exception in the case of a scenario quest. Even if I logged out when the access time limit was reached, I was in the cave of death when I logged back in.
In the meantime, the elite skeleton soldiers who had been smashed all over were filled with caves. When he had just reconnected, even Rokan had to be nervous, so regular users would have been slaughtered before they even did anything.
But the opponent is Rokhan. After pushing them and guiding them into a narrow path to fight, stable hunting became possible.
So finally Rokhan reached level 99.
[Incredible achievement! You have subdued Unleashed Death to save the world from chaos. No one knows about it yet, but one day everyone will know about your sacrifice.]
[You have acquired the title 'Death Conqueror'.]
[You are the first recipient of this title.]
[First] [Death Conqueror] [Unique]
You subdued death unleashed and saved the world from chaos.
You are the first recipient of this title.
[Retention effect]
-10% increase in attack power against undead
- Increases critical damage against undead by 50%
- Shadow Resistance +10%
After reaching level 99, experience points no longer accumulate, so as soon as he reached level 99, Rokhan picked up the essence of death. As the conditions for achieving the quest that had been postponed were completed, the title appeared.
What a unique level title!
Originally, it was a rare grade, but the grade was raised by receiving the first bonus. Of course, the holding effect increased accordingly.
The increase in attack power is okay. However, the other two effects were honey. Critical damage increase and darkness resistance increase! In particular, if it was Rokan who matched the critical hit setting, the effect would be doubled.
"Kya, that's rat poison for the undead."
At this level, it seemed that it would be able to inflict more overwhelming damage than the divine-type class, which is an incompatible attribute.
[Death erodes you.]
[be careful! If you do not act quickly, you may be eaten by death.]
A notification that suddenly appeared. I don't know what 'death' really is, but Rokan could confirm that his vitality was gradually diminishing.
What is this? Is it like the curse of plague?
It might have been questionable, but Rokhan was relaxed. You know that this is also part of the main scenario quest.
"Then let's go"
Koo Goo Goo!
When the energy of death that supported the cave disappeared, he leisurely escaped from the cave that was beginning to collapse.
Then Rokhan calmly exclaimed.
"Using the Rune Book. To the Trinsic Wizard Guild."
* * *
Trinish quickly. After moving to the wizard guild where Materian was located, Rokhan climbed the stairs to find him.
"Oh, hey, that's... … !"
When I entered the room with the essence of death, Materian immediately reacted. He read the energy of death in it and completed a certain magic in one breath.
"Purification!"
It is purification magic. It was a spell close to divine magic in that it drove away bad energy, but it was clear that it was the best he could do.
A refreshing energy enveloped the body and drove away the energy of death for an instant.
'It's cool.'
But that's only for a moment, not completely rooted out. If additional measures were not taken quickly, it would spread all over the body again.
"Drink this. It is a precious medicine that boosts the vitality of the body."
What Materian held out was a green liquid. Although it is a precious item with abundant life force, it was almost eaten by death, so it was readily given to Lokhan who brought it.
'I'm going to give it all anyway.'
Anyway, each person who proceeds with the same quest will give you one.
There were also quests where the branching of the scenario changed depending on the outcome, but this quest was the kind where everyone performed the same content as long as certain conditions were met. Of course, it could have disappeared if the subsequent scenario progressed and the branch of the related high-level quest changed, but at least hundreds of people would receive and drink this medicine.
gulp gulp
As soon as I drank the medicine, the effect was immediate. Thanks to purification, the energy of life that is full of life is settled in the body that has been cleansed.
[The life force vibrates within the body.]
[The full energy of life suppresses death.]
[The weakened energy of death falls into suspended animation. But be careful. Death may wake up again through great stimulation.]
With this, the measures against the aura of death were over.
After that, it was through the main scenario quest that a long time later that the energy of death was awakened again. So, until then, you can forget about it.
'Come on, give it to me.'
Because of that, Rokan did not pay attention to the changes in his body. Instead, all his nerves were directed toward the hands of the Materian. To be precise, it was for the reward he was going to offer, the 'Investigator's Ring'.
"It was hard. Thanks to you risking your life to carry out your mission, we are able to prepare for great danger. Considering not only this incident, but also the remarkable achievements you have shown so far, I have decided to accept you as a member of our investigation team. There is no obligation, but there are many things you can get help with doing various things. So, keep working hard for the peace and well-being of the continent."
[Awesome achievement! You have become a member of the multi-ethnic network collectively known as the 'Investigation Team'.]
[You have acquired the title 'Investigator'.]
[You are the first recipient of this title.]
[First] [Investigator] [Rare]
Human, gnome, elf, and dwarf races joined forces for the peace and well-being of the continent and became a member of the 'Investigation Team'. You can receive the respect of other races within the same faction.
You are the first recipient of this title.
[Retention effect]
- Possible to carry out investigation team quests
- Recognition of other races within the same faction
'It was good.'
If others had seen it, they would say that the possession effect was terrible for a rare title, but Lokhan had a different idea. Because only he knew how great this title effect would be at this point.
"Take this. This will prove your identity."
While smiling, Materian pulled out a ring.
'I don't like receiving rings from men, but... … .'
It was something he had been waiting for, so Rokhan took it as if snatching it.
[Investigator's Ring] [Rare]
A ring that proves the identity of a member of the investigation team. It contains a special power that boosts the wearer's vitality.
- Can use 'Life Charge', which instantly recovers 3,000 HP once a day
- Charged State: 1/1
- Waiting time to recharge: 0:00
It was a rare-grade ring with a built-in life charge for investigators who often fall into dangerous situations.
The HP that can be instantly recovered with this skill reached a whopping 3,000. Considering that Rokan, who reached level 99 and received several title effects, currently has only 2,500 HP, this is a huge number. Even if you use it right away, not only can you fill up your life force to the maximum level at once, but it will be used as a powerful item that will save your life and turn the situation around for a while.
In particular, for the berserker Lokhan, after using Berserk, it became a means to avoid death even without a potion.
"Okay, then leave. The world wants you."
Rokan got out of the wizard guild while being sent off by Materia. You have graduated from the main scenario quest that can be obtained here.
In order to continue the main scenario quest that was cut off, it was necessary to advance to the next city and fulfill several conditions.
"If we hurry, we can move on to the next area within today."
Rokan, who was strengthened thanks to the investigation team member's ring, was happy and headed to the next destination.
* * *
Berserker Guild.
It was already the third place I was looking for.
"I'll finally take off my beginner tee."
Unbelievable words leaked from Rokhan's mouth as he pushed open the creaking door and went inside.
Who would dare to call Lokhan a novice now that he has taken off his novice tee? It was a story that other users would be shocked to hear, but surprisingly it was true.
Because NPCs refer to users below level 100 as 'class beginners'. It means that he is a child who has just got a job and is just beginning to understand his job.
And when he achieved level 100 and made his own combination skill, he was called a 'class user'.
"I want to change jobs."
When I told the receptionist at the information desk about my business, he recognized Lokhan.
"Yeah, ex... … You didn't change jobs last time. Did you give up and get another job?"
and questioned. The receptionist's question was reasonable, given how long it had been since he had changed his job, and if he had given up on his second job and returned to level 50 to get a new job. But Rokhan urged him on as if he were saying something nonsensical.
"Stop talking nonsense, give me a level 100 job change quest."
"Huh, really, really. This is fun."
Only then did the receptionist narrow his eyes to find out. This meant that Rokhan had already reached level 99 and was qualified to challenge the former quest.
It was also possible because he was not an ordinary receptionist, but a berserker guild master. In the case of popular job guilds that are sought after by many people, the staff or guild members are in charge of the reception counter, but in the case of unpopular job guilds such as the berserker guild, the guild master directly handles the window work.
"Maybe you'll be the first, but hehe. If that's really the case, it'll be worth seeing the expressions of the other class masters."
And I was a little excited. How many times have I been ignored by other class masters for being crazy about blood and madness! If Rokhan became the first class user, he would be able to flatten their noses and publicize the excellence of the glamorous profession of berserker.
"Okay, let me know right away. The former quest is simple. Because all jobs are common. Take down any level 100 guy one-on-one. It doesn't matter if it's a monster, a beast, or a guard, so whatever you do, try to defeat just one!"
The former quest was the same as he knew. Defeating level 100 monsters. Because of that, he used to find guys with easy combination skills and fight, but to Lokhan now, it didn't matter who the opponent was. Wasn't he the one who had already defeated the strongest level 100 Artwight a long time ago?
"To give you a hint, rather than a humanoid… … Uh huh, hey hey"
The berserker guild master, who was trying to give Rokan a small tip, was startled by the situation right in front of him, perhaps coveted for the title of first class user.
As soon as the job transfer quest was delivered, the completion effect appeared.
[You have acquired the previous quest 'Reckless Challenge'.]
[The record of killing Artwight, the Knight of the Lake, has been confirmed.]
[The former quest 'Reckless Challenge' has been completed.]
[You have completed your job change as Jin Berserker.]
