Oren offered special jobs: Training Knight and Tamer. Not exclusive to Oren, but special jobs obtainable there too.
“Both,” Yang Joohyuk said.
“Training Knights 500, Tamers 3,000,” Jang Yul replied.
“Thought there’d be more?” Yang Joohyuk said.
Since 0.7% got the title, he thought many would have special jobs. But the number was small.
“Because the conditions are hard to meet,” Jang Yul explained.
“Right.”
Training Knight required completing all four training centers in Oren to unlock the quest. Tamer was stricter—subdue a rabbit, feed it a 5-gold well-baked bread, and hunt another rabbit with it to trigger the quest.
“So they’re special jobs.”
If followed diligently, they were hard to obtain.
“Then lastly,” Yang Joohyuk said, not done yet.
More than top-level users, title earners, or special job holders, one thing was more curious.
“The library.”
“None, obviously,” Jang Yul replied.
“Since it’s the first day,” Yang Joohyuk agreed.
“Even in a week, seems like there won’t be any. Oren’s library.”
No user had used Oren’s library. No, there wouldn’t be users using it, Jang Yul was certain.
“Since it needs 50 gold.”
To use Oren’s library, 50 gold is needed. But 50 gold is a huge amount in Oren. Paying that to use the library? Doesn’t make sense. There wouldn’t be such a user.
“Maybe there’s a chance, right? Could there be some hidden piece tucked away?” Yang Joohyuk said.
“There could be,” Jang Yul replied, nodding.
There was no way, but as Yang Joohyuk said, maybe there could be a user who used it.
“But even if there is, the piece in there can’t be called a hidden piece, right?” Jang Yul continued.
Even if someone used it, it didn’t matter. The hidden piece in Oren’s library couldn’t be called a hidden piece. That’s because it was a hidden piece that could also be obtained in libraries other than Oren’s.
“That’s true. At this point, it’d be better to level up or do quests,” Yang Joohyuk said.
Even if it’s called a hidden piece, the efficiency was too poor. It’d be better to level up in the time it takes to get that hidden piece.
“But doesn’t it shine when you get to the later stages?” Jang Yul asked.
Of course, that’s for the early stages. In the later stages, it’s different. In the later stages, the difference between those who got the library’s hidden piece and those who didn’t would be enormous.
“It’s way too late to get it then,” Yang Joohyuk replied.
The library’s hidden piece was harder to obtain the higher your level. Getting the hidden piece at a low level was best.
“Huh?” Jang Yul suddenly exclaimed in a surprised voice.
“What’s wrong?” Yang Joohyuk asked, tilting his head at Jang Yul’s startled tone.
“A user who obtained a rank 1 job has appeared!” Jang Yul said.
“What?” Yang Joohyuk couldn’t help but question.
Just as items were divided into six ranks—normal, special, relic, heroic, legendary, divine—special jobs also had ranks. From rank 1 to rank 6. The Training Knight obtainable in Oren was a rank 6 job, and the Tamer was a rank 5 job.
Rank 6 jobs weren’t much different from regular jobs, but from rank 5, the difference was noticeable.
A rank 1 job? Of course, rank 1 jobs were great, but they were hard to develop. If a regular job required 1 experience to level up, a rank 1 job required 100. And it wasn’t just about experience. For special jobs, leveling up, skill progression, and sometimes completing quests were needed.
“Which job is it?” Yang Joohyuk asked, following his question.
He was curious which rank 1 job had appeared, as rank 1 jobs weren’t just one kind but quite diverse.
“It’s Lord of Destruction!” Jang Yul answered with an excited expression.
Yang Joohyuk, waiting for the answer, let out a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness.”
Lord of Destruction, true to its rank 1 job status, was definitely great. But it was hard to develop, and Lord of Destruction required supporting users. If played solo, Lord of Destruction was worse than a regular job.
“But how did they already meet those conditions?” Yang Joohyuk asked, puzzled.
He couldn’t understand. To receive the Lord of Destruction job change quest, certain conditions had to be met. Those conditions couldn’t possibly be met on the first day.
“The conditions changed,” Jang Yul explained.
“What? The conditions changed?” Yang Joohyuk asked.
“The boss changed them directly,” Jang Yul said.
“Oh, damn,” Yang Joohyuk let out a groan.
“There must be a reason,” he said, nodding.
After groaning, Yang Joohyuk continued, “Anyway, keep an eye on the situation. Report as soon as a message pops up, but for ranks 4 and above, don’t bother reporting ranks 5 or 6.”
Beep beep!
When the alarm rang, Soohyuk opened his eyes instinctively. Getting up from bed, he stretched.
“It’s the new year,” he said, looking at the clock.
It was finally a new year. Of course, the new year didn’t change Soohyuk’s life. Since becoming a middle school student, Soohyuk had always welcomed the new year alone.
After a simple stretch to loosen up, Soohyuk sat at the bookshelf and started reading. Thirty minutes later, having finished the book slowly with breakfast, Soohyuk closed the book and went to the kitchen.
Opening the refrigerator, Soohyuk said, “Guess I’ll eat ramen.”
But there was no appealing side dish, so Soohyuk took out a single egg, ending his fridge rummage. Then he took out ramen from the cupboard.
After cooking egg ramen, Soohyuk brought it to the computer. There would be users who played all night. Expecting to see what posts came up overnight and what happened, Soohyuk went to the official website, clicked on the best posts board where popular posts were gathered.
The first popular post that caught his eye was about special jobs. If the entire content of the post was 10, information about special jobs was 1, and bragging was 9. The comments had countless users asking how to get special jobs.
“If it’s a mage, I don’t need to look,” Soohyuk said, hitting back.
Anyway, Soohyuk planned to change to a mage. He didn’t need information about special jobs, nor was he curious.
“Title?” he muttered.
The second popular post Soohyuk checked was about titles.
Title: I’ll tell you about the awesome title you can get in Oren
Character Name: Breaker
You can get the Practitioner of Oren title by catching 100 rabbits.
It increases strength, agility, stamina, wisdom by 3 each. Get this awesome title!
For reference, it’s useless if you go down and catch 100 rabbits. It only works with Oren rabbits!
“Oh!” Soohyuk let out, checking the post.
Can I get it by catching a few more?
Currently, Soohyuk had caught 70 rabbits after completing the quest. Including the 5 for the quest, he’d caught 75 rabbits total. If the post was true, catching just 25 more would get him the title.
To check if the post was true, Soohyuk looked at the comments. If it was false, the reaction wouldn’t be good.
“Huh?” Soohyuk frowned, checking the comments.
The reaction wasn’t good—negative. The issue wasn’t that it was false, though.
Rudika: In the time it takes to catch 100 rabbits, I’d go down and level up.
Ka: I sent my friend first because of this post, but my level 9, friend level 15, damn it.
Ishid: This post is true. But it’s better not to do it. The efficiency is trash.
Mokdoridoma: Got the title. Will the day come when +3/+3/+3/+3 shines?
The title itself was real. But most comments were negative. If the total comments were 10, positive ones were 1, negative ones 9—a 1:9 ratio.
“Well, it doesn’t matter,” Soohyuk said, hitting back.
Efficiency wasn’t important to Soohyuk. He had to catch rabbits anyway.
“Nothing special,” he said.
After checking other popular posts, there wasn’t much interesting information. Having finished his ramen, Soohyuk got up, prepared for login by washing dishes, and connected to Pangea.
“Huh?” Soohyuk tilted his head, checking his surroundings upon logging in.
Where’d everyone go?
There wasn’t a single user in sight. Before logging out, there were at least a few users diligently hunting rabbits. Where had they all gone?
Puzzled but smiling, Soohyuk didn’t know what happened, but it wasn’t bad from his perspective. He could hunt rabbits without interruption.
Soohyuk first opened his character window.
Level: 6
Experience: 1%
Health: 1960
Mana: 200
Satiety: 85%
Strength: 10
Agility: 12
Stamina: 35
Wisdom: 10
Bonus Stats: 10
From now on, save bonus stats.
To change to a mage, level 10 and 30 wisdom were needed. To reach level 10 and 30 wisdom, Soohyuk had to save all bonus stats from now on. Even considering the title, there’d only be a surplus of 3.
No problem with satiety.
Satiety was 85%, no issue. Soohyuk closed the character window, opened his inventory, took out the sword received from the instructor, and started swinging at rabbits.
