Chapter Title: Job Change Quest
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wise Man Time had kicked in, granting Yoon Young a surge of intelligence and some breathing room for thought. He checked the skill list once more.
[Assassin]
A sharp dagger lurking in the shadows, stabbing enemies.
[Rogue]
[Assassin]
[Ninja]
Rogue was a class that wielded dual daggers, darting across the battlefield with lightning-fast movements.
It built on the vital strike passive to target weaknesses and unleash burst damage.
Assassin specialized in hurling various projectiles. They applied poison or explosive tags for sustained damage over time.
Ninja was essentially an Eastern-style mage. They formed hand seals to cast skills—spewing fire, lightning, creating clones, total chaos.
'Whoa, they all look fun.'
They seemed entertaining enough to try, but he hesitated to commit.
He wasn't in a position to just mess around for kicks.
He had no idea where the ending was, but to reach it, he needed to get seriously strong.
Every thief-line job seemed to demand inhuman agility.
Sure, it was a game world with skill corrections and all, but honestly, he doubted himself.
Afterward, Yoon Young toured the rest of the job change buildings.
'Guess that leaves bows and fists.'
Archers split into rapid-fire Rangers, heavy-hitting Snipers, and Spirit Archers who partnered with elementals.
Nothing appealed, so he just browsed casually and left.
Fighters divided into Spear Fighters using spears as their main weapon, Weapon Masters who handled every weapon, and Fist Fighters who fought barehanded.
Likewise, nothing about Fighters drew him in, so he scratched them off the list entirely.
The job instructors for both were dudes anyway—no spark of interest.
'Sigh, what to pick.'
Two stood out clearly as top contenders.
Aura Knight and Summoner.
Which to go with?
Tough call...
Lost in those thoughts as he walked, he spotted one more building as the trainee district wound down.
[El Church]
Not in Korean, but somehow readable letters on the sign.
A temple adorned in white and yellow, exuding a holy aura.
'So this is the church where Amael sang every day.'
Wonder if he'd run into Amael inside?
Yoon Young naturally pushed open the church doors and stepped in.
A surprisingly spacious interior.
Long rows of pews, a podium, and a massive goddess statue hit him first, along with robed priest NPCs bustling about.
He approached the male NPC on the podium.
The guy looked like the top dog here at a glance.
"Greetings, brother. What brings you to the El Church?"
[Make a donation]
[Request a dispatch]
New keywords: two of them.
Donation... why though?
Maybe blessings or something?
'Hmm. Makes sense. Games like this often give minor buffs from praying.'
[A minimum of 10 Plain Coins is required to make a donation.]
Yoon Young used 10 Plain Coins.
"The goddess herself will be moved by your piety. Pray now, and she will surely bestow her blessing."
The priest courteously extended his arm toward the goddess statue.
Yoon Young knelt before it and prayed lightly.
'Let me safely see this world's ending.'
You have received the Blessing of the El Goddess.
All stats slightly increased.
Duration:30 minutes
The Blessing of the El Goddess can only be received once per day.
"Oh ho."
He wasn't sure exactly how much "slightly" meant, but he could definitely feel it.
A sense of power settling into his body.
Duration was short, but handy for conserving stamina early in hunts or saving for boss fights.
'Looks like you can job change to Priest here too... not planning to, but should check it out anyway.'
Another piece of content.
Yoon Young approached a priest NPC and showed the recommendation letter.
"This is a recommendation from Knight Redia. Unfortunately, you don't seem to have the talent for priesthood."
"Huh?"
"Don't be too disappointed. Just request it from our El Church, and we'll dispatch a priest or holy knight anytime."
"Ah, got it."
Yoon Young understood immediately.
Priest or holy knight classes tied to the faith—players couldn't take them.
Instead, the church filled that role.
The dispatch system let you recruit support or pure tank units as companions.
'Pretty reasonable setup.'
He had zero interest in priest/holy knight lines anyway—no complaints.
Next, he scoured the church interior.
'Wonder if Amael's here?'
If it was her home, the El Church was the only candidate.
So on days she wasn't at the Adventurer's Guild, maybe here?
Yoon Young wandered, searching for Amael.
His eyes occasionally snagged on busty priestesses, but he kept his focus on the goal without any teasing.
"Oh!"
There—spotting Amael quietly standing in a corner.
"Come hewe."
The moment he saw her, Yoon Young pulled her into a tight hug. Her petite frame fit perfectly in his arms. He felt it every time, but damn, she was adorable.
'Now that I know where she hangs out, I can bring her along every day.'
To him, she was a massive healing potion.
Not just patching up HP honestly—she restored his weary body and soul after fights, making him think, maybe one more go.
A top-tier healer for physical and mental damage alike.
"Wanna crash together tonight since we're here?"
Yoon Young spoke to Amael.
"Ah, Adventurer. Nice to see you again."
"Huh."
Something was off.
No recruit as companion keyword.
'No way?'
Suspicious, Yoon Young returned to the male priest NPC and tried the [Request a dispatch] keyword.
Scrolling the list, he found her for sure.
Apprentice Priest Amael.
'Ah, so when she's at the church, you gotta do a proper dispatch request.'
At the Adventurer's Guild, she was already dispatched, so free recruit.
'Kinda overly detailed in spots like this.'
Whatever—tomorrow she'd be at the guild anyway...
"See ya, Amael. Catch you tomorrow."
Time had gotten late. Yoon Young left the church, portaled back to the inn area.
Lying in his room, he began pondering again.
'Knight or mage? That is the question...'
First, pros and cons of each.
Knight was the all-rounder staple.
High stamina, solid defenses. Job changing to Aura Knight would boost offense too—a perfect hexagon build.
In a situation where no class screamed OP, this physical staple was reliably sturdy.
Downside: safe and straightforward?
Solid and steady over easy cheese. That vibe.
Second, mage.
Yoon Young planned to go Summoner off mage.
Summoner's appeal: insanely convenient.
Just pop summons and watch? Perfect.
If even mildly OP, it'd mean effortless farming.
That allure was huge.
Bosses? Farm hard and roll in prepared, right?
Plus, eyeing Summoner opened possibilities. Skill descriptions showed beasts/spirits, but high-level might summon humanoids.
Potential interactions? High score there.
He agonized nearly all day, no conclusion.
Next morning, he finally bit the bullet.
'Summoner sounds tempting for the cheese, but if it's not... disaster.'
In the end, stable with a dash of romance: Aura Knight.
Resolved, Yoon Young headed to the knight job building.
"Wanna be a knight~? You came to the wight pwace~."
Claire was sloshed again today.
Her liver enzymes must be in another dimension.
Mana prevent hangovers or something?
[I want to become a knight]
"Fow weal? But can't just make anyone one! Pass a simple test fiwst."
<Claire's Test>
Knight job instructor Claire wants to test if you have the qualities of a knight.
Acquire the 'Aura Sword' skill through the Knight's Manual.
⚠️ Warning! Abandoning the quest after learning Aura Sword will delete the skill.
"Hewe, borrow this Knight's Manual. Teach youwself the basics of basics, 'Auwra Sword.' If you can't, no knight fow you~."
Claire handed over the Knight's Manual.
Not just skill descriptions, huh?
Flip. Flip. Flip.
[Aura Sword Training]
Flipping through, there it was. The training section matching the quest.
1. 500 precise horizontal slashes, 500 vertical slashes.
"Whoa, that's intense."
A thousand sword swings.
Total swings so far might barely top a thousand?
Maybe exaggerating.
'But if I knuckle down, doable.'
Conveniently, the knight building had space for focused sword practice.
Yoon Young struck a pose and started practicing.
Whoosh!
'One down.'
Posture inaccurate. Quest requirements not met.
"Huh?"
Oh no, don't tell me...
