Chapter 11
Chapter 11
What in the world is this?
I said I wanted to advance as an All Master, and now they’re telling me to walk the path of the Swordmaster?
I stood there bewildered.
Whoosh!
A sudden burst of flame came flying and exploded against the Swordmaster’s body, sending him flying backward.
“Ugh!”
In the place where the Swordmaster had been standing, an elderly man in a cloak leaning on a staff appeared.
At first glance, he was clearly a Sage.
“Ah, indeed! You have the makings of a true All Master. Your mana affinity is extraordinary. Why not walk the path of the Sage with me instead? With such remarkable mana affinity combined with your physical prowess, you could become a formidable battle mage!”
The Sage, who had suddenly summoned mana to examine my body, proposed that I walk the path of the Sage.
First the Swordmaster, now the Sage.
Before I could even voice an objection, a shadow stirred behind the Sage.
Crack!
“Ugh!”
The Sage’s neck twisted, and he collapsed unconscious where he stood.
…Fortunately, he still seemed to be breathing.
In any case, a woman in black clothing emerged from behind the fallen Sage.
From her attire alone, I could tell she was an advancement instructor of the Dark Assassin class.
“What’s that senile old fool babbling about? Trying to trap such a versatile talent within the confines of magic? Don’t you think?”
“…Well, yes? I was trying to take the advancement test for All Master….”
“Forget that. Why not become a Dark King instead? Your versatile abilities are perfectly suited to the path of darkness!”
A Dark King.
It wasn’t a bad path.
Even if they called it an assassin class, the Dark King I remembered was a versatile profession capable of wielding virtually any weapon and magic.
However, just as before, I didn’t even get a chance to respond.
Whoosh.
An arrow flew up from just below the stairs.
“Argh!”
It sent the Dark Assassin flying backward.
The arrow appeared to be blunt-tipped, so it wasn’t meant to be lethal, but considering the Dark Assassin’s characteristically low defense, it seemed like a genuinely dangerous attack.
I turned my head and saw a woman holding a bow in the distance.
She was clearly an Archer.
She looked at me with cold eyes and opened her mouth.
“Just now, my arrow. You saw it, right?”
“I did see it….”
“Your dynamic vision is good. Perfect for archery.”
“Archery?”
“I’ll guide you down the path of the Heavenly Archer.”
This time, it’s the Celestial Archer.
The Swordmaster, the Sage, the Dark Sovereign, and the Celestial Archer.
With this, all four of the highest-tier classes among the four major professions I remember have now appeared.
Even back in First, I’d never experienced anything like this.
It seems all the effort I put into pushing my stats to their limits and engaging in combat with diverse weapons has finally paid off.
However.
‘No matter how excellent a class might be, none of them suit me.’
I had no intention of choosing any one of them.
The Swordmaster, no matter how powerful, can only wield swords.
The Sage, no matter how powerful, can only use magic.
The Dark Sovereign, despite being versatile, struggles with heavy weapons.
And the Celestial Archer can only handle short blades as close-range weapons.
From the start, my goal has been to find a class that allows me to fight while maximizing the use of the items I collected back in First.
Rather than choosing one of those, it would be better to stick with Weapon Master.
And I’ve already confirmed the advanced class of Weapon Master.
No—a class that appears to be the advanced form of all classes.
I had no intention of limiting myself to just one path like that.
“I wish to take the advancement test for All Master.”
“It seems you don’t understand just how absurd the path of All Master truly is.”
“Hehe, such youthful spirit. But as you take the advancement test, you’ll come to understand. Just how illusory the All Master profession is. And you’ll awaken to the greatness of the path of magic!”
“Kid, it’s not for nothing that not a single All Master has ever emerged until now.”
“It will be difficult. All Master.”
“That’s fine.”
The advancement officers who had been lying down rose from their positions and surrounded me from all sides.
But my decision remained unchanged.
Now that I’ve confirmed the existence of the All Master class.
I will choose All Master.
“Then, I’ll start.”
“Do it properly. This is the advancement test for All Master, after all.”
“Don’t worry. It will be difficult.”
Along with the advancement officers’ responses, an advancement Quest appeared before me.
[ Hidden Advancement Quest ‘All Master’ has been created. ]
Rank : Legendary
Description : One who freely wields all weapons that exist in this world, and yearns for the secret techniques that exist at the end of every path.
The master of all things heading toward the pinnacle of every path in this world—All Master.
Objective : Pass all four advancement officers’ tests.
The advancement test for All Master had begun.
* * *
Second’s finest community site.
There, a post appeared that captured people’s attention.
[ So the Advancement Guides originally came down to the First Floor to get a user to advance? ]
I just saw it—all the Advancement Guides came down and were making a fuss trying to get them to advance into their respective classes.
They were even attacking each other while doing it.
However, anyone could see that the post had clear signs of being bait.
Advancement Guides coming all the way down to the First Floor to fight over advancing a user?
Did that even make sense?
With that, users monitoring the community quickly began commenting.
– Nonsense lol
What kind of delusion is this now lol
– How heavy are the butts of former officers? Rumor has it that even accommodations and meals are provided on your own floor.
– This is real. When I advanced, a hundred Advancement Guides came down and tried to convince me to advance into the Ultimate Swordmaster.
He’s spouting nonsense with such dedication lol
As such comments began appearing, the original poster seemed genuinely upset.
The poster had written the post out of pure curiosity, but people had only mocked them—which was only natural.
And fortunately, the poster had ‘evidence’ to back up their claim.
[ I’m telling you it’s real. ]
※ Video attached
The poster’s follow-up post included a video.
After checking it out.
– ??
– Is this actually real?
Of course the real one is obviously rigged lol
– Those are definitely the Advancement Guides from the Advancement Office? The skills they use, their personalities, their speech patterns—it’s all identical
It’s all rigged the same way lol
– No, I’m telling you it’s real;
The video showed exactly the situation the poster had described.
A Receptionist startled the moment a user placed their hand on the emotion stone.
Followed by Advancement Guides rushing down urgently to convince the user.
Then more Advancement Guides coming down, trading blows with each other while trying to convince a single user.
Truly, the Advancement Guides—famous for their sedentary nature—had come all the way down to the First Floor, pleading with the user to advance into their respective classes.
While some insisted it was edited, no matter how closely you looked, the video didn’t appear to be manipulated.
– Has something like this ever happened before?
– No, I’ve never heard of a case like this
– Even when Bambi, currently ranked 3rd, streamed their advancement, it wasn’t anything like this
– What, what kind of class appeared for them to act like this?
– Even if a good class appeared, does it make sense for all four Advancement Guides to come out and do this?
– It doesn’t make sense;
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand the situation.
The four Advancement Guides representing the Advancement Office all appearing at once to propose advancement—it was unheard of.
However, one thing was certain.
– I’m not entirely sure, but doesn’t that mean you’ll advance into an incredibly powerful job class?
– Yeah, just picking one of those four would be insane
– Swordmaster, Sage, Dark Assassin, Archer. All four are top-tier job classes representing the Four Great professions
The player captured in this video.
That player will be able to advance into at least one of the Four Great top-tier job classes.
And if they advance into one of those Four Great job classes, that player’s future is essentially guaranteed.
Moreover, if they obtain an even better advanced job class than those four?
That player’s path forward would be nothing short of a red carpet rolled out before them.
Because of this.
– Do you happen to know the player’s name?
– Is this happening in real-time? I’ll find them right away.
Those who caught the scent began to swarm in.
They were clearly scouts seeking to recruit a player with such a brilliant future into their own guild.
And even.
– This is the Hwarang Guild. Would it be possible to contact you separately? If you provide proper information, we’ll even send you a finder’s fee.
– It’s the Hwarang Guild
Korea 0 vs 5 Guild lol
– Wow, insane, a Hwarang Guild scout is here lol
Even the Hwarang Guild, called one of Korea’s Five Great Guilds, had appeared.
All of them were searching for the topic of conversation—the player who had just visited the Advancement Office to take the advancement test.
They were looking for ‘Mir’.
* * *
“Here it is. My test chamber.”
First of all.
I arrived at the location where the first test was being held, following the Archer advancement examiner.
‘Brings back memories.’
The location where the Archer advancement test is conducted.
I knew this place well.
A fairly spacious indoor area with targets standing upright—to pass, I had to hit a certain number of bullseyes with a limited number of arrows within the time limit.
Since the Weapon Master’s advancement test also required passing through advancement tests of various job classes, familiarity was only natural.
“So I just need to hit those?”
I pointed to the targets set up in order from the entrance to the opposite wall.
They were targets at 5 meters, 10 meters, 20 meters, and 50 meters respectively.
Normally, it’s nearly impossible for an ordinary person to hit all those targets, and hitting even the 20-meter target is considered good performance.
Even when taking the same advancement test, better scores result in stronger abilities manifesting or gaining additional skills as rewards.
However, to my question.
“No.”
The Archer advancement examiner shook their head.
But these were the only targets visible here—what did they mean by no?
As I stood there puzzled.
The Archer walked to the opposite wall and pulled what looked like a handle.
Then.
Rumble, rumble, rumble—
The wall began to descend.
This wasn’t a figure of speech; the wall was literally lowering itself.
The Archer’s testing grounds were situated quite high within the Advancement Office, so as the wall descended, a vast sky came into view and a refreshing breeze swept across the space.
Following this, the Archer let out a whistle.
“Whiiit—!”
“Kee-yoooow—!”
The gyrfalcons stationed in the Advancement Office seized their targets and soared outside.
Moving with practiced speed, the gyrfalcons halted at appropriate distances and began hovering in place.
“I’m supposed to hit those?”
“Right. From 100 meters to 500 meters. Five targets total.”
“And the time limit?”
“One minute per target, five minutes total. You must hit all those targets within that window to pass.”
The difficulty was utterly absurd.
In standard Archer advancement tests, the farthest target is only 50 meters, yet this test starts at 100 meters.
And the final target is supposedly 500 meters away.
‘The bow’s effective range probably doesn’t even reach 500 meters.’
Modern archery is generally known to hit targets at 30 to 90 meters.
Mongolian bows can reach 150 meters, and English longbows reach 200 meters.
Even Korea’s composite bow, considered the most advanced bow globally, barely exceeds 300 meters.
Even if modern rifles have a maximum range of around 600 meters, hitting a target at 500 meters is said to be extraordinarily difficult.
And I’m supposed to hit those targets with a bow?
This test was essentially telling me from the start to ‘just give up.’
But.
“Understood.”
I had no intention of giving up.
After hearing the test requirements, I stood before the open wall and posed one final question.
“There are no restrictions on item usage, correct?”
“None. Items are part of your abilities too. Use any bow you want. Use any arrows you want. You’re free. If you don’t have any, I can lend you a bow with a maximum range of 500 meters.”
“No, that’s fine.”
There were no item usage restrictions.
The reason was obvious.
This test was, no matter how I thought about it, impossible to pass with a user’s pure abilities alone.
A user would need to somehow acquire the best bow available in the City of Beginnings, invest evenly in agility and strength, and only then could they possibly pass with tremendous skill and extraordinary luck.
Actually, even then, passing would be far from guaranteed.
That’s what kind of test this was.
But.
‘500 meters is simple enough.’
Within me existed hundreds, thousands of bows.
With them at my disposal, passing a trial of this caliber was trivial.
“Luke.”
– Yes, Master.
Black flames blazed across my palm, and a bow materialized before me.
A crimson bowstave with the name ‘Tristan’ engraved in silver.
The bowstring shimmered with the ethereal beauty of moonlight, while the grip was adorned with exquisite gemstones.
Its true identity was none other than.
[ The Bow That Never Misses, Fail Not ]
The bow of Sir Tristan, known as one of the Knights of the Round Table.
A unique-grade weapon, legendary for never missing its mark.
Fail Not itself.
