Chapter 130 – Three Extravagant Choices
“Well, it was a job change, wasn’t it?”
God nodded and produced three fortune-like objects in her small hand.
“What are they?”
“I’ve already told you the details of each job, but I thought it might be difficult to understand them all by yourself.”
Obviously, she had put it all together for me.
I gratefully accepted the fortune.
All three are covered with letters, but… it’s a thoughtful gesture from God.
So, let’s look at them one by one.
The first one.
Job──────────────────
Dungeon Master Rank C
“Come and challenge me to a battle of wits. Your life is at stake.”
～The ultimate hermit who lives in the depths of the earth or a pitiful hermit who distrusts humans and can only interact with them by baiting them and leading them into traps.
The hidden high-level profession of “Dungeon Master” is a special job dedicated to the creation and management of dungeons.
Although they have little direct combat ability, they can place monsters and traps in dungeons as resources allow. This skill is severely limited in dungeons other than the ones they manage.
MP and INT are greatly increased, but HP is slightly negatively offset.
Avoid direct combat whenever possible, and use the monsters and traps you create to keep enemies at bay.
◇Ability
Dungeon Management
You will be able to create and manage dungeons. Resources needed for dungeon management can be obtained by consuming MP, mana coins, items, monsters, etc.
You can also take control of a depleted dungeon.
You can get any information you want about the dungeon under your control.
◇Support Ability
Dungeon Travel
You can travel to any point in a dungeon you have already conquered. The teleportation will cost mana coins equal to the distance.
◇Unique Bonus
Compared to the normal Dungeon Master,
・The capacity of the Item Box is much larger than that of a normal Dungeon Master.
・The dungeon map structure, monster locations, treasure locations, and portal locations (including hidden portals) can be known to an unprecedented extent only on the floor where the dungeon currently exists.
・The ability to escape the dungeon only when not in combat.
・Limited use of teleportation.
・The understanding of magic language is quite deep, and the power of magic, MP consumption efficiency, and amplification of attributes are quite high.
・The speed of magic chanting is exceptionally fast, and magic can be invoked without chanting at a significant cost in power.
・The natural recovery speed of MP is quite fast.
・Defeated secret monsters can be added to the summoning target.
This is the tendency.
◇Level Up Bonus
The following bonuses are added to the ability increase at the time of leveling up.
HP -1, MP +5, INT +5
─────────────────────
It’s a pretty tough job.
There is currently no use for it in dungeon management, and it does not have much combat ability.
The unique bonus is also small (compared to ours).
It’s a rare job, but in general, it’s probably a low priority for employment.
Next, the second job.
Job────────────────────
Demon King Rank C
“All living creatures fall into my hands.”
～The demon overlord spawned by the apocalypse, or the hated character of a vain tale waiting in a cold demon castle for a hero to come to him.
The title position of Demon King is a job to destroy all enemies with overwhelming magical power and superb skills to manipulate them.
With an unparalleled aptitude for magic of all attributes and all magic-related techniques, he boasts a fighting prowess so incomparable that he can even fight the enemies of the entire world.
On the other hand, their skills in melee combat with weapons tend to develop slowly.
While MP and INT grow at an insane rate, STR and LCK grow with difficulty, making it hopeless to fight as a melee fighter.
Aim to kill enemies with overwhelming firepower and barrier magic.
◇Abilities
Invincible Barrier β
Creates a barrier that prevents all attacks, both physical and magical. Deploying the barrier consumes an inordinate amount of MP. The size and shape of the barrier is flexible.
Since the barrier is still incomplete, accidental freezes are common. Frozen barriers are destroyed when attacked with a certain amount of power, and the user’s psyche is affected (MND is reduced to 0 for a certain amount of time).
Form Change
When your HP is reduced to less than half, you can switch to your second form. While in the second form, all HP is restored and all ability stats are dramatically increased.
In addition, when the HP of the second form is reduced to 20% or less, it is possible to change to the third form. Upon entering the third form, all HP is fully restored, all ability stats are catastrophically increased, and damage of 5% or less of maximum HP from anything other than the Hero profession is negated.
The effects of the increase in either form cannot be undone by magic or any other means. Form switching is canceled at the end of combat. The second form can only be used once per day, and the third form once every 30 days.
◇Support Ability
Control of Subordinates
Increases the ability rating of any target that is under your control or command in any way. The five senses of the target of this ability can be shared for a very short time. After the senses are shared, a reasonable amount of time must pass before they can be shared again. The ability to communicate with the target over a reasonable distance. The subject can be made to obey a command for a moment.
◇Unique Bonus
Compared to the normal Demon King,
・Unparalleled aptitude for Fire attribute magic.
・Unparalleled aptitude for Lightning attribute magic.
・Unparalleled aptitude for Wind attribute magic.
・Critical hits occur with magic.
・An attack on an opponent can rarely cause instant death.
・Can use limited teleportation.
・Has a deep understanding of magic language and has a high level of magic power, MP consumption efficiency, and attribute amplification.
・Unparalleled magic chanting speed.
・The ability to cast magic without chanting by sacrificing a significant amount of magic power.
・The speed of natural MP regeneration is significantly high.
・The speed of natural recovery of MP is quite fast.
・Can absorb enemy magic and convert it into its own MP, but the conversion efficiency is extremely low.
・Wounds heal themselves at an incredible speed.
・Even if you die, you can come back to life once your HP is fully restored.
・Even if the body is destroyed, you can survive as a spirit, but the survival time is remarkably short.
・Damage that should be judged by VIT can be reduced by MND in rare cases.
・Has reasonable resistance to all kinds of abnormalities.
This is the tendency.
◇Level Up Bonus
When the Demon King levels up, the following bonuses are added to his ability increase.
MP +5, INT +6, VIT -2, MND +4, LCK -2
────────────────────
Now comes the hard part.
According to the description, this is a “title job” and not even an advanced job.
It’s also irregular that it has two abilities and a powerful level-up bonus for magic specialization.
Although I have never seen this job in the skill world, I know that Clovis had this job in the job world.
Both the me in the skill world and the me in the job world defeated Clovis.
It is possible that the job was passed down as a title based on the theory that “whoever defeats the Demon King becomes the Demon King.”
However, it seems that the skills and support abilities are different from the Demon King Clovis.
Even though it is the same job, it is almost like a different thing.
And the third and last one,
Job────────────────────
Hero Rank C
“Follow me, all you who hate evil!”
～The last hope left in an apocalyptic world, or a mere clown driven by delusional justice?
The title “Hero” is an indomitable hero who fights evil without giving up, feeding on the hopes of the people.
They have the power to overcome any adversity with their outstanding swordsmanship and special magic given to them by supernatural beings.
However, the true value of this Hero lies in his indomitable fighting spirit and determination to do what is right.
Although this profession excels in both physical and magical attacks, it tends to be poor in dexterity.
Although their overall stats show fairly high growth, their individual abilities tend to be inferior to those of professions that specialize in a single technique.
It may seem far-fetched, but one of the Hero’s most important roles is to use support and healing magic, allowing the friends he has gathered to unleash their full power.
◇Abilities
Over Limit
Explosively increases the power of a specific profession for a short period of time.
/Error! The format of the ability definition is incorrect.
◇Support Ability
/Error! Ability was not learned.
◇Unique Bonus
Compared to a normal hero,
・All stats are corrected abnormally.
・Unparalleled aptitude for fire attribute magic.
・Unparalleled aptitude for lightning attribute magic.
・Unparalleled aptitude for Wind attribute magic.
・Very high critical strike rate.
・Critical hits also occur with magic.
・Highly proficient with all types of swords, including dual-wielding.
・Able to use all types of weapons at the same time.
・Change equipment at a moment’s notice.
・Damage increases dramatically when fighting higher-level opponents, boss monsters, red names, and larger opponents.
・The understanding of magic language is deep, and the power of magic, the efficiency of MP consumption, and the amplification of attributes are high.
・The speed of magic chanting is exceptionally fast, and magic can be cast without chanting at a significant cost of power.
・It is possible to cast multiple spells at the same time, but the power of the spells is greatly reduced.
・The speed of natural MP regeneration is quite fast.
・Wounds heal themselves at an unprecedented rate.
・Can survive with 1 HP only once, even if he is damaged to death.
・Able to detect all dangers approaching him.
・Has a fairly high level of experience points, /error!/, from battles and a slightly larger increase in ability points when leveling up.
・Has not yet mastered a special type of magic bestowed by a supernatural being /error!/. Does not meet the definition of a hero.
This is the tendency.
◇Level Up Bonus
The following bonuses are added to the skill increase at the time of level-up.
HP +2, MP +2, STR +2, INT +1, VIT +1, MND +1, DEX +1, AGI +1
────────────────────
This is another title job, Hero.
According to the description, it seems to have the nuance of “Normally, this job is obtained by receiving the blessing of a supernatural being, but due to an accident, it has become possible to find a job. I’m not saying that I recognize you as a hero!”
Is it because I defeated the Demon King or because I prevented the dungeon from collapsing in the skill world?
I guess I only got the title of Hero after… I did a job like a hero.
It seems to be a higher-level job than a magical swordsman in the sense that it combines both magic and sword, but it is probably more powerful in a fistfight than a magic swordsman.
It’s a powerful job, but it hurts that one of the abilities and support abilities is an error.
The level-up bonus for the Hero seems balanced and strong, while the demon king is overpowered.
The total level-up bonus for both the demon king and the Hero is 11, which is higher than the 9 for a typical advanced job.
But I can’t level up now, so the level-up bonuses for both of them are just a waste of treasure.
However, the unique bonus for the Hero is attractive.
It boosts stats (presumably a conversion of the skill world’s ability boosters) and provides various powerful bonuses to both weapons and magic.
There are also bonuses that dramatically increase resiliency, such as automatic recovery, which seems to be a variation of Self Regeneration, and survival at 1 HP, which seems to be based on Survive.
Being good at both sword and magic therapy means that it is also a good combination with Rondo of Magic Sword of the Magic Swordsman.
Now, my current jobs are “Usurper S / Magic Swordsman S / Warrior C / Fighter C / Archer C.”
The Warrior, Fighter, and Archer are decoys to fill the slots.
One of them will be replaced with one of the Dungeon Master, Demon King, or Hero.
It is not possible to replace all three at once.
Still, it is said that multiple jobs are hard work for the soul.
The spare time created by the usurper’s familiarity with the soul through rank advancement is filled with one of the three.
The next step is to set the chosen job to S and then set another job in the empty space it creates.
My goal is to conquer the post-collapse Okutama Lake dungeon without leveling up.
Therefore, I don’t necessarily need to set all the advanced jobs.
If I have enough power, I may decide to stop in the middle of the dungeon.
However, the idea was to solo the Okutama Lake dungeon after the collapse, which is one of the most dangerous S-rank dungeons.
Eventually, I would like to set up all the jobs and aim for the “Magic Swordsman / Usurper / Dungeon Master / Demon King / Hero” form.
If I go back to the skill world, I might not be able to ask God to change my job.
But for now, what I have to think about is which one to choose first.
The answer to that question will be ready by the time I get here.
I looked up from my fortune, and God asked me.
“Well, which job will you choose?”
I said the answer I had prepared.
“Dungeon Master.”
