Chapter 105 46. Agent Class Change
Agent Job Change
Chapter 106
『All initial job classes have been unlocked due to your talent.』
I never expected all initial jobs to open up.
I hadn't even considered it.
『Alchemist (Normal)』
『Enchanter (Normal)』
:
:
The endless list of job classes shimmered fervently each time my gaze landed on them, as if they were pleading for me to choose them.
『Dimensional Storage Machinist (Legendary)』
『Undying Necromancer (Legendary)』
Multiple options lay before me.
But I couldn't make a hasty decision.
Changing jobs later would be an incredibly cumbersome process—not to mention, most of my proficiency would vanish in the process.
As I hesitated, the Holy Sword of Sacrifice threw a tantrum through Flame Transmission, its method of communicating thoughts.
<Why aren't you picking Holy Swordsman, you perverted bastard?! If you become a Holy Swordsman, you can draw out 100% of my power! Hurry up and choose it already!>
『Holy Swordsman (Legendary)』
A profession specializing in wielding holy swords.
A job that could later evolve into Hero.
Admittedly, it wasn't a bad choice.
A Holy Swordsman was the true master of a holy sword.
Though they couldn't compare to Saints or Saintesses in terms of the quality and quantity of Sacred Power, they were the most suitable class for fully unleashing a holy sword's potential.
They could wield divine spells extensively, cast healing and buffs on themselves, and even deploy sacred domains.
Moreover, the Holy Sword of Sacrifice was an exceptionally rare treasure in the history of the Tower, so powerful that its appearance on Earth was hard to believe.
If I could harness 100% of this brat's power, conquering the Tower would proceed smoothly.
However, if I chose Holy Swordsman, my entire combat style would be locked into that.
I'd be hyper-specialized in Sacred Power, meaning I'd be forced to rely almost entirely on the holy sword.
And in situations where Sacred Power was restricted, my combat effectiveness would be halved.
For that reason alone, I set Holy Swordsman aside for now.
<Just pick me already, you idiot!>
Ignoring the sword's protests, I continued scanning the job selection window.
Most people only had 3 to 10 job options available to them.
But me, Park Ha-rin, and Kang So-eun could choose from nearly all jobs.
And then—
『Agent (Hidden)』
Even a job that had been hiding, trying its best not to be noticed, revealed itself.
Agent (Secret Agent).
A versatile class capable of specializing in any field through secondary and tertiary job advancements.
But conversely, that also made it a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—an ambiguous, seemingly incompetent profession.
In other words, just like my previous attributes, if I didn't focus on one thing, I'd end up being neither here nor there.
A job that allowed unrestricted use of all abilities, techniques, and powers—but with no stat bonuses, making it extremely difficult to master anything to its peak.
A class that would never shine brightly in the early stages.
Yet, despite its flaws, the name Agent alone overflowed with romance.
Even by the time I had possessed this body, the exact conditions for unlocking Agent hadn't been fully revealed.
It was a special class that players could only stumble upon by sheer luck—perhaps most easily obtained in the Job Selection Space.
A mysterious profession that required innate genius across all fields and being chosen by fate itself.
A class nearly impossible to obtain outside the Job Selection Space.
A hidden job that even the protagonist, a talent monster, had failed to acquire.
"......."
Holy Swordsman was undoubtedly a great job.
But then, the image of Park Ha-rin, sweeping through battlefields as an Agent, flashed through my mind.
The way she wielded every weapon with perfect timing, swapping them out like an artist mid-combat—how deeply had I been moved by her?
Of course, no matter how hard I tried, reaching her level would be nearly impossible.
But that didn't matter.
What did matter was that I could at least stand on the same starting line as her.
『You have selected Agent (Hidden) as your job class.』
So of course, I chose Agent.
"I live and die for romance."
Click—
The moment I pressed my finger against the floating Agent text in the air—
Fwoosh!
The other job classes flickered like dying embers before vanishing without a trace.
And in their place,
『You have acquired the job class: Agent (Hidden).』
Only this message remained, burning fiercely.
『Awakening as an Agent.』
At that moment—the air around me grew still.
In an instant, an indescribable force seeped into my pores and bronchial tubes.
"Ghk—!"
My pupils dilated violently from the rising agony.
I endured one wave.
"Grrk...!"
My body felt like it was breaking through a wall, evolving to the next stage.
As my muscles tensed sharply, messages lined up before me.
『Acquired Agent Special Skill: [Information Priority Assessment - Top Secret Collection (Rare)].』
『Acquired Agent Special Skill: [Special Security Dismantling (Rare)].』
『Acquired Agent Special Skill: [Sabotage Operation (Rare)].』
『Acquired Agent Special Skill: [Disguised Infiltration (Heroic)].』
『Acquired Agent Special Skill: [Operation Deployment (Legendary)].』
『[Information Priority Assessment - Top Secret Collection (Rare)] has been assimilated into [Reading Alteration].』
『[Reading Alteration] has drawn one step closer to completion.』
『[Minor Presence Concealment (Normal)] has been assimilated into [Disguised Infiltration (Heroic)].』
Thud-thud-thud-thud!
My heart thrashed wildly, burning hot. My body, connected to it, began transforming to match the traits of an [Agent].
Flames bloomed within the [Circuit of Reckless Uncertainty] in my heart.
Mana, Black Magic Power, Sacred Power, and Record—all swirling inside my heart.
The scattered energies within me shattered the framework of my flesh and harmonized. The sensation of my insides burning. A vicious heat so intense it felt like my body was twisting apart.
I gritted my teeth and endured.
"Grrrrrr—!"
The moment my vision distorted and my blue-tinged eyes snapped wide open—
『You have changed classes to [Agent (Hidden)].』
"GAAAAAAAAH!"
Mana cords erupted from my body. Blue light encased my upper half.
Mana stretched from my head down to my toes.
『Initial Spirit Gear [Secret Agent Standard Long Coat] has been issued.』
The hardening mana completed its transformation into dark fabric.
And then—
Swish—
A sleek black long coat of synthetic material draped over my body. A futuristic outer garment almost too extravagant for combat.
Fluttering the coat that reached down to my calves, I stepped forward.
From my chest—no, more precisely, from the circuit—a blazing light erupted.
Both inside and out, the moment of cataclysmic change had just concluded.
Kiiiiing—
Blue flames crystallized across the surface of my retinas.
『Park Si-hyun's compatibility with [Agent]: 100%』
『Protagonist Synchronization Rate: 181.2%』
<Why aren't you becoming a Holy Swordsman~!! You idiot!! Why won't you do it!!>
The holy sword whined like a petulant child.

『Hidden Class: [Agent]』
-A covert operative who completes missions by any means necessary.
Infiltrates hostile territory or professionally handles all manner of situations to achieve critical objectives.
An agent on assignment leaves no gaps that could arouse suspicion—such as making others sense incongruity. They adapt flawlessly to any circumstance without revealing their identity and erase all traces of their existence upon mission completion. To do so, they must be proficient in a wide array of skills. That very expertise is their weapon.
『Agent Special Skill: [Special Security Dismantling (Rare)]』
-Infuses mana into simple security devices to temporarily disable or dismantle them while leaving minimal traces.
-Quickly gains proficiency in lockpicking.
-Can only bypass basic mana-based security devices. Takes considerable time.
-Recommend outright destruction when in a hurry.
『Agent Special Skill: [Sabotage Operation (Rare)]』
-Designs direct and indirect destruction plans against designated structures to achieve objectives.
-When explosives are placed and timed to match the goal, power and range increase slightly.
-Relatively quick at analyzing structural designs and vulnerabilities.
『Agent Special Skill: [Disguised Infiltration (Heroic)]』
-An illusion-based infiltration skill for solo penetration of heavily guarded enemy territory.
-Can forge status windows given enough time.
-Blends naturally with terrain when taking cover.
-Higher chance of slipping through gaps in perception during disturbances.
While the skill is active, all signals—breathing sounds, footsteps, scent, presence, impressions, and movements—are temporarily distorted to make detection difficult.
If detected by an opponent, you can swiftly infiltrate another space.
『Agent Special Skill 「Operation Deployment (Legendary)」』
An Agent must never have their identity questioned during covert operations. They must possess capabilities befitting their disguise. Thus, an Agent needs versatility to handle any unforeseen situation with proficiency.
Allows the acquisition of any skill regardless of class restrictions. However, the effectiveness of skills unsuited to the user is limited to 40%.
"......"
No wonder Agents had to remain inconspicuous yet inevitably stood out.
'Even at 40% effectiveness, if stats are guaranteed, the versatility of the skill is nothing short of insane...'
Even I, who had experienced multiple professions, was stunned by this skill set.
For common-tier classes, you'd be lucky to have one or two rare-grade skills at best.
But Agents started with rare-grade skills as their baseline. And on top of that, they even had a legendary-grade skill.
A potential almost on par with my sub-class, the 「Sage of Impurity (Legendary)」...
『Park Si-hyun's compatibility with 「Agent」: 100%』
My compatibility with the Agent class was flawless.
And since my Protagonist Synchronization Rate had also increased, I began to suspect that the Agent class might hold secrets I wasn't yet aware of.
'I'll look into those secrets later. For now...'

A true jack-of-all-trades.
No one currently in the Tower possessed more skills than I did. Well, except maybe Park Ha-rin.
Either way.
'I need more skills. Skills to offer to the Holy Sword of Sacrifice, along with my stats.'
The current difficulty was Heaven, surpassing even Hard, Nightmare, and Hell.
There was no telling what variables might appear.
'I must grow stronger.'
I adjusted my coat, its artificial texture brushing against my fingers.
『Class selection is complete.』
The light of the message was devoured by darkness. I slowly relaxed my body.
As the sensation of being submerged in darkness took over, I closed my eyes.
#
[Welcome.]
[Climber Park Si-hyun.]
When I opened my eyes, I was back in the familiar bright space.
The massive 「Class Selection Gate」, having fulfilled its purpose, was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, expressionless beauties stood before me.
Two maids bowed deeply from either side.
[You have obtained an excellent class.]
[As expected of Climber Park Si-hyun. You are quite handsome...]
Their hospitality carried a subtle undertone of flirtation, as if trying to score points.
"Yeah, thanks."
Their beautiful faces appeared even clearer than before.
Having transitioned into the Agent class, my senses had sharpened further.
The circuits within my body had grown sturdier, and the flow of mana had accelerated.
My entire body felt lighter, yet more solid.
There was simply no comparison to when I had been classless.
...But why had I returned here? Wasn't I supposed to go straight to the First Floor of the Tower?
As I stood there puzzled, the maids raised their heads. They stared at me without blinking, their gazes unwavering.
I met their eyes without flinching. Slowly, their faces flushed red.
"By the way, why am I here? Wasn't I supposed to head straight to the Tower?"
[......Actually, we had something urgent to discuss, so we requested the Creator to bring you here separately.]
[Here...]
The red-haired maid shyly extended a weapon.
