Chapter 10
Chapter 10
In the center of the City of Beginnings stood two colossal towers.
The first tower was the Tower of Beginning—a mandatory challenge for anyone seeking to graduate and leave the City of Beginnings.
The second tower was the Tower of Job Change, which existed to allow adventurers to advance their professions within the city.
Though among players, it was more commonly called the Job Change Hall than the Tower of Job Change.
And among these two, the place I needed to visit was, of course…
[ Tower of Job Change ]
This one.
I’d reached level 10 and received the Guard Corps’ seal, so there was no reason to delay my job change any longer.
Walking toward the Job Change Hall with familiar steps…
“You’re prepared. Please enter.”
The guardian at the Job Change Hall’s entrance recognized me and opened the door.
By “prepared,” they meant having reached the required level.
One needed to achieve level 10 to undergo a job change.
Those who arrived at the Job Change Hall below the required level would be turned away, told they weren’t ready.
“Still quite crowded in here.”
I’d expected fewer people since the game had been open for two years now.
But I was wrong.
The Job Change Hall was still overflowing with people.
Though, from my perspective as a player from First—a game already known as a failure with its player count bottoming out—perhaps my perception was skewed.
“Those here for a job change, please register first!”
I lined up as instructed.
While I waited patiently for my turn, I heard the voices of players ahead of me chattering away.
“What’s the hassle about?”
“They’re checking your stats and playstyle patterns.”
“Why would they check that?”
“Because you’re here for a job change. Based on your stats and playstyle, they recommend a job suited to you. If you’re lucky, sometimes hidden classes appear.”
“Ooh, hidden classes!”
“Don’t get your hopes up. Hidden classes don’t appear for just anyone, you know? Not all hidden classes are even good. Most of the time, even if a hidden class appears, you fail the job change exam.”
“Still, there’s the romance of it, right? The romance!”
“Yeah, keep dreaming. From what I can see, your job list is probably just ‘Warrior,’ ‘Swordmaster,’ and ‘Mercenary.'”
“Hey, who do you think I am! Berserker or Dark Knight or something… Wait, what is this?! You didn’t deliberately show me these after hearing our conversation, did you?!”
“No, adventurer. This isn’t my recommendation. The appraisal stone automatically analyzes your stats and patterns and…”
“But it can’t be that only Warrior, Swordmaster, and Mercenary show up! Let me be a Berserker too!”
“I’m sorry, but you lack the conditions to change to Berserker by quite a bit…”
“What conditions exactly!”
“I apologize. I’m not entirely sure of the details myself.”
“Aaaahhhhh!”
“Just go with Warrior. That’s the safest choice, they say.”
I could discern the Second’s job change method simply by listening to the conversation.
And I thought to myself:
‘There’s barely any difference.’
Whether it was First or Second, the job change methods showed no significant variation.
Of course, since my memory contained no initial jobs like ‘Dark Knight’, it seemed more new professions had been added.
But fundamentally, the system itself resembled what I knew.
“Whew… I’ll go with Warrior.”
“Yes, you’ve selected Warrior. Your job change test will be conducted on the third floor.”
“I’ll take the Mage test.”
“Your intellect is quite high. Yes, the Mage test takes place underground, so please head downstairs.”
The line moved swiftly, and my turn arrived quickly.
“Hello!”
“Hello.”
“First, could you place your hand on the appraisal stone? It will automatically analyze your stats and pattern to recommend a suitable job.”
“Of course.”
Following the staff member’s instructions, I placed my hand on the appraisal stone.
The stone resonated, and it felt as though the power within me connected with it.
“Now, if you’ll wait just a moment, your stats will… eh?”
My stats began registering on the appraisal stone.
10, 20, 30.
As my stats continued climbing, the Receptionist’s eyes widened considerably.
And for good reason.
Having reached level 10 and invested all my bonus stats, my current abilities were:
[ Status Window ]
Name: Mir
Level: 10
Job: –
Strength: 50 Agility: 55
Vitality: 50 Intellect: 50
Wisdom: 40
This was my current state.
Since each level grants five bonus stats, the total bonus stats obtainable by level 10 would be forty-five.
Given that a user’s base stats at level 1 are all 12, even if one invested everything into a single stat, the maximum would be 55.
But what about my stats?
Even looking at Agility alone, I’d reached that maximum threshold.
Yet my other stats were far from lacking.
My lowest stat, Wisdom, was 40, while the others all reached 50.
In terms of pure stats, this meant I possessed the kind of numbers that should require being at four times my current level.
Unsurprisingly.
“Good heavens!”
The Receptionist gasped in astonishment upon seeing my perfectly compiled stats.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
The Emotion Stone began analyzing my play pattern, which was far from monotonous.
The moment the game started, I obliterated the thugs with Astrape’s lightning, then combined elixirs through alchemy to achieve a “Critical Success.”
Next, I hunted slimes with archery and even took down Big Slimes with spear-throwing.
In essence, I’d demonstrated most combat patterns—melee, ranged, magic, and production.
I was curious what job list would appear before me.
Not long after.
[ Warrior ]
[ Swordmaster ]
[ Spearmaster ]
[ Rogue ]
[ Archer ]
….
The job list began appearing.
First, if my stats met the requirements.
No—even if my stats fell short, nearly all basic jobs were appearing. I could likely transition into most of them.
Normally, only a handful of jobs appear based on stats and play pattern—that’s the standard.
But my combat style had been so varied that this seemed to be the reason.
My stats were also high enough that I could transition into any job without issue.
Yet even as time passed, the job list didn’t stop.
[ Knight ]
[ Spellblade ]
[ Spear Mage ]
[ Dark Mage ]
[ Light Mage ]
….
Now advanced job classes beyond the basics were appearing.
Second jobs in this game had good balance, so they weren’t necessarily superior.
They were job classes with different specialization paths.
Most players would cheer and select at this stage alone.
But my job list didn’t stop here.
[ Blacksmith ]
[ Alchemist ]
[ Jeweler ]
[ Enchanter ]
….
They kept appearing.
This time, production-class jobs rather than combat jobs.
It seemed my use of alchemy was prompting recommendations for these jobs as well.
[ Dark Knight ]
[ Chronologist ]
[ Shadow Dancer ]
[ Commander ]
[ Tentacle Summoner ]
….
“Good heavens! They’re all rare classes….”
What followed were the so-called “rare classes” that began to manifest one after another.
‘What in the world is a Tentacle Summoner?’
I recognized many of the classes, but there were just as many I’d never encountered before.
It seemed that Second had indeed introduced numerous new classes since my last visit.
As the classes continued to ascend without pause, the Receptionist couldn’t contain her astonishment.
By the time I thought we’d surely seen every class that existed in Second, something caught my eye.
Amid the rapidly scrolling list of professions, the one I sought flashed past.
[ Weapon Artisan ]
‘That’s it.’
Weapon Artisan.
It was the class I’d chosen during First, and could only be selected after defeating the Big Slime and obtaining the Guard Corps’ Seal.
The Weapon Artisan had the advantage of being able to wield every weapon in the game, and I’d leveraged this to clear First using a diverse arsenal.
A “switching” style of combat, swapping items to suit each situation.
I believed that approach was what allowed me to conquer First.
So I’d intended to select Weapon Artisan again this time.
But then.
….
[ All Master ]
“All Master?”
At the end of the class list.
There appeared a class name I’d never seen before.
Among all these professions, the letters of this one gleamed with particular brilliance, and at a glance, it seemed far from ordinary.
Though it was a new class to me, obtaining information about it was simple.
After all, the Receptionist here was the NPC who explained curious classes to adventurers.
“What kind of class is this?”
“All Master! I’ve only heard rumors about it, but seeing it actually exist! This is incredible!”
“So what exactly is this class?”
“It’s exactly as the name suggests! I’ve only heard it through stories, but it’s a class that can freely wield every weapon in this world and learn every skill that exists. That’s what it is!”
“Isn’t that similar to Weapon Artisan?”
“No, no! Weapon Artisan can only freely wield ‘weapons,’ right? But All Master can learn and master not just weapons, but every skill and ability with complete freedom!”
“Even so, wouldn’t that mean you can’t master the ultimate secret art of a single class….”
“No! All Master can! The master of all things, capable of reaching the pinnacle in every domain! That’s what All Master is! …or so I’ve heard!”
The master of all things—unrestricted by class limitations, able to freely acquire not just weapons but every skill, and capable of reaching the ultimate secret arts granted only to a single class.
All Master.
If the Receptionist’s explanation is true….
‘The superior job of Weapon Technician. No, beyond that level… the pinnacle of all jobs.’
There’s no longer any need for me to obsess over becoming a Weapon Technician.
Now that I can utilize every item I’ve collected in First through Luke.
If I add the All Master job on top of that, I’ll be able to leverage all those items and push the All Master’s abilities to their absolute limit.
“I’ll choose All Master.”
“Yes! Please wait a moment. All Master doesn’t have a dedicated administrator assigned to it, and I need to contact my superiors first.”
“Understood.”
Upon my choice, the Receptionist urgently began making calls.
I’m not sure who she’s contacting, but it doesn’t seem like just one or two people.
Well, each job has a different person in charge.
It makes sense that the job change administrator for All Master, the pinnacle of all jobs, isn’t clearly established.
As such, it seems she’s calling the various job change administrators at the Tower of Job Change.
Then, shortly after.
Thud thud thud thud!
The sound of someone rushing down the stairs reached my ears.
No, not someone.
Multiple someones.
“Someone!”
The first to appear was a muscular man with a greatsword strapped to his back.
No wonder the stairs made such a tremendous noise.
With someone like that rushing down, it was only natural.
“This, this is the person!”
It seems that man is one of the job change administrators.
As the Receptionist immediately answered and pointed to me, the muscular Swordmaster approached roughly and grabbed both my shoulders, shouting.
“Is it you! The novice adventurer said to possess the qualifications of All Master!”
“Yes, I suppose so.”
“Indeed, your physique is quite remarkable! Your strength alone has reached the highest level a novice adventurer can attain, and your muscles are well-compressed while your joints are flexible!”
“Thank you?”
“With a body like this, why All Master! Instead, become my disciple and walk the path of the sword! I’ll guide you down the path of the Sword God!”
“Pardon?”
He suddenly began proposing that I walk the path of the Sword God.
