As Kang Juho ran towards the north gate, he checked his other quests.

Quest Reward: 3 Random Potions
As the names suggested, they were very easy quests.
Kang Juho opened his inventory first.
[You have completed the quest ‘Open Inventory’.]
[You have acquired 3 Lesser Health Potions.]
Then, along with the message, potions appeared in his inventory.
Kang Juho closed his inventory and then opened his character window.
Character Name: Kang Juho
Nationality: Paraville Kingdom
Class: Beginner
Level: 1
Experience: 0%
Hunger: 99%
Strength: 10
Agility: 10
Stamina: 10
Wisdom: 10
At level 1, his stats were no different from the PC ‘Earth.’
His resistances were the same.
Since he hadn’t done anything yet, all resistances were at 0%.
Kang Juho closed the character window and checked the message window.
[You have completed the quest ‘Open Character Window’.]
[You have acquired 3 Lesser Mana Potions.]
‘Perfect.’
He was worried he might get more health potions, but thankfully he received mana potions.
Kang Juho smiled and focused on running while looking at the minimap, and soon he arrived at his destination, the north gate.
Fortunately, the north gate was still deserted.
‘Looks like I arrived first.’
Only soldiers were visible.
It seemed he had arrived the earliest.
Kang Juho approached the soldiers and looked above their heads.
Above the soldiers’ heads, names like ‘Payson’ and ‘Robas’ were written in green.
‘Is it different for each user?’
Kang Juho thought while looking at the names above their heads.
‘Well, one guard can’t handle all the users.’
Even if there weren’t many starting users, it was still the first day of the opening.
Unlike the PC, where you could talk to someone from a distance with a mouse click, it was impossible for one guard to handle so many users.
“Hello.”
Kang Juho approached the guard ‘Kalam’ and greeted him.
“Greetings, adventurer of Earth.”
Kalam replied to Kang Juho’s greeting with a subtle smile.
“My name is Kalam.”
[You have completed the quest ‘Tutorial!’]
[You have acquired an Old Iron Sword.]
***
‘Neckma Soft’, the company that created the virtual reality game ‘Earth.’
“Any special occurrences?”
Kim Yu-ri, the head of the virtual Earth operations department and the general manager, asked.
No one answered Kim Yu-ri’s question.
Tap, tap tap tap. Click.
Tap tap tap.
Click, tap tap tap tap tap tap.
Tap tap, tap tap tap tap tap. Click.
Only the sounds of keyboards and mice echoed.
Kim Yu-ri smiled.
Her expression was full of satisfaction.
No special occurrences were exactly what Kim Yu-ri wanted.
Kim Yu-ri moved and approached the seat of the deputy general manager, Yu Jang-hyuk.
Yu Jang-hyuk, like the other operators, was staring at the monitor, moving his keyboard and mouse incessantly.
“How is it?”
Kim Yu-ri glanced at Yu Jang-hyuk’s monitor, where the screen was changing rapidly, and asked.
Unlike the other operators, Yu Jang-hyuk had a specific role.
It was ‘Special Classes.’
“Nothing yet.”
Yu Jang-hyuk answered Kim Yu-ri’s question.
So far, no user had changed to a special class.
They hadn’t even caught a glimpse of it.
“Well, it wouldn’t make sense to catch a glimpse in less than an hour after the opening.”
Kim Yu-ri nodded.
It wasn’t like it had been open for several days; it would be strange to catch a glimpse so early.
“But I was hoping that with the level of our country’s users, they would quickly find the lower-tier ones…….”
Special classes were divided into two categories: lower and upper tier.
And the criterion was the difference from regular classes.
If there was no significant difference in performance compared to regular classes, it was lower tier; if it was better, it was upper tier.
Upper-tier special classes were difficult to even catch a glimpse of, and currently, it was impossible to change to them.
This was because the items or conditions required for the change could not be met.
The earliest an upper-tier special class could be changed to was when the third main episode began.
However, unlike upper-tier special classes, lower-tier special classes were open even now, right after the opening.
Since there was no significant difference from regular classes, many clues were scattered, and the conditions for the change were not very difficult.
“I think a few will come out by the end of the day.”
Yu Jang-hyuk said.
Many users had started, and they were wandering around to find special classes.
He thought they would find the trail of some special classes before the end of the day.
“Contact me as soon as a user changes classes. Not just a glimpse.”
“Yes!”
Kim Yu-ri listened to Yu Jang-hyuk’s answer and left for her seat.
Left alone, Yu Jang-hyuk stared at the monitor again, moving his keyboard and mouse.
‘Are there about five with high potential?’
Apprentice Knight, Battlefield Blacksmith, Fire Mage, Wind Sorcerer, and Street Priest were expected to have their change conditions revealed before the end of the day.
‘I wonder which one will be revealed first.’
Yu Jang-hyuk looked at the monitor with a face full of anticipation, grinning.
***
Whoosh!
Kang Juho swung the old iron sword at the rabbit.
Thwack!
The rabbit, which was eating grass, couldn’t avoid the iron sword.
-Screech…….
Thud!
Soon, the iron sword struck, and the rabbit stopped moving with a mournful scream.
Kang Juho glanced at the message.
[Critical Hit!]
A rabbit that should have died in two hits from the iron sword died in one hit, and as he suspected, it was a critical hit.
Kang Juho opened the quest window and checked the quest ‘Rabbit Hunting’ he had received from Kalam.
<Rabbit Hunting>
Rabbits that have endlessly multiplied.
The number of rabbits has increased to the point where it interferes with guard duties, and guard Kalam has decided to reduce the number of rabbits.
Kill the rabbits and go to the guard headquarters in ‘Job Square’ to meet ‘Doen’ and deliver Kalam’s letter!
[Rabbits: 29/30]
[Kalam’s Letter: 1/1]
Quest Reward: Leather Armor
“Just one more to catch…….”
He had caught 29 out of 30 rabbits.
Now, only one was left!
Swish.
Kang Juho turned his head and looked around.
Dozens of users were already hunting rabbits.
And users were constantly flowing out through the gate.
At this rate, there would be more users than rabbits.
If that happened, users would compete with each other, and the quest progress would slow down drastically.
He had to move on to the next quest quickly.
It was then.
Swoosh!
A rabbit respawned in front of Kang Juho.
The respawned rabbit immediately started eating grass, and Kang Juho quickly swung his iron sword before anyone else could attack.
Thwack!
This time, a critical hit didn’t occur, and the rabbit started running to the opposite side of Kang Juho.
But the rabbit’s movement speed, with its health close to zero, was significantly slow, and Kang Juho, who was moving in anticipation of it running to the opposite side, swung his iron sword again.
Thwack!
-Screech…….
Thud.
The rabbit fell, and Kang Juho picked up the dropped rabbit hide and headed straight for the gate.
“Wow, is this a rabbit field? It’s a user field!”
“I told you to come right away!”
“No, how important is sightseeing! Who was the one hyping up about getting a special class?”
“……Let’s just catch rabbits.”
Kang Juho, who arrived at the gate, entered the city while listening to the users’ conversations.
And he headed straight for Job Square.
Soon, Kang Juho arrived at Job Square and was able to find the guard headquarters right away thanks to the minimap.
The guard headquarters was a five-story building with many guards coming and going.
The name of the NPC he had to meet was ‘Doen.’
‘Doen, Doen…….’
Kang Juho, who entered the guard headquarters, muttered Doen’s name to himself and began to look for Doen.
‘Is he on the second floor?’
Kang Juho, who had thoroughly searched the first floor, frowned slightly.
He couldn’t see the name Doen anywhere.
‘Could it be that he’s not a helper NPC…….’
A sudden thought made Kang Juho feel uneasy.
Originally, names don’t appear above the heads of NPCs.
Only helper NPCs have green names above their heads.
What if Doen wasn’t a helper NPC?
“Hello. I’m here to find someone named Doen. Do you happen to know where he is?”
In the end, Kang Juho decided to ask a nearby soldier.
Whether he was a helper NPC or not, asking for help was faster than finding him himself.
“Doen?”
The guard questioned Kang Juho’s question and tilted his head.
“If you’re talking about Team Leader Doen, he’ll be on the second floor.”
He wondered if he didn’t know, but fortunately, the guard knew Doen.
“Thank you.”
Kang Juho thanked the guard and went straight to the second floor.
And as soon as he arrived, Kang Juho was able to find ‘Doen.’
Doen was sitting at a table, looking at documents.
‘He was in administration.’
Kang Juho approached Doen.
“Hello. Here…….”
After greeting him, Kang Juho took out Kalam’s letter and handed it over.
“……?”
Doen received the letter with a puzzled expression.
[You have completed the quest ‘Rabbit Hunting’.]
And at that moment, the quest was completed.
Doen began to read the letter.
After a while, Doen put down the letter and said with a smile.
“I was going to take care of the rabbits soon anyway, so thank you for your help.”
Doen, who had expressed his gratitude, stood up from his seat and asked.
“Could you wait a moment?”
“Yes.”
Doen, who heard Kang Juho’s answer, opened the door behind him and went inside.
He must have gone to get the reward, the leather armor.
As Kang Juho expected, Doen returned with the leather armor not long after.
“This is a reward for helping with the rabbit hunting.”
“Thank you.”
[You have acquired Leather Armor.]
Kang Juho received the armor and put it in his inventory, then watched Doen’s expression.
It was because of the next quest.
“And…….”
Doen trailed off and opened a desk drawer.
It was definitely a quest.
What kind of quest would it be?
“Here it is.”
Soon, Doen took something out of the drawer and held out his hand.
In Doen’s hand was a scroll.
Kang Juho received the scroll.
[You have acquired a Class Recommendation.]
[The quest ‘Looking for a Class’ has been created.]
And he was able to know the identity of the scroll.
“Anyone who shows the recommendation will be helped. I hope you have a good adventure.”
Doen said with a smile.
‘It’s over…….’
Kang Juho thought at Doen’s greeting.
‘It was said to be over quickly, but I didn’t expect it to be over this quickly…….’
It was written at the end of the manual that the tutorial was very short.
But he thought it would take a few hours.
“Goodbye.”
Kang Juho answered Doen’s greeting and headed to the first floor.
Soon, users who had finished rabbit hunting would flock in.
There was no time to delay.
Soon, Kang Juho, who came out of the guard headquarters, checked the quest ‘Looking for a Class.’
<Looking for a Class>
Achieve level 10 and acquire a class with the recommendation!
[Level: 6/10]
[Class Recommendation: 1/1]
Quest Reward: ???
