Episode 5
Byron City, an intermediate base leading from Clover Village.
Three people were walking in the woods south of the city.
“Really? There’s a goblin treasure den here?”
“Have you been deceived, you really are.”
The warrior in front grumbled at the complaints of the people behind him.
Hidden information about the secret goblin lair!
From the first time I found related materials, warrior users were sure there was something.
‘The warehouse where the treasures looted by the goblins are stored!’
The data documenting the movements of the goblin colonies turned that thought into conviction.
Information finally obtained after completing several linked quests.
If you attack this place well, all your hard work will be rewarded.
It was then.
“That’s right for smoke rising, right?”
“ah… … . It looks right there.”
“But something isn’t quite right. Like the burnt smell, I think it’s already over.”
“… … !”
Are you in combat?
The warrior’s steps quickened.
The other two hurriedly followed.
The appearance of the goblin lair that arrived in such a hurry.
“No, what is this… … .”
“Are you all robbed?”
It was full of smoke, ash, and goblin corpses.
“What happened… … .”
“Go, Goblin Knight… … .”
“Crazy, the goblin shaman is dead too.”
Normal goblins, as well as elite goblins, were dying in droves.
Users who scanned the trail soon figured out what had happened here.
“Whoever did it, you hunted in an exemplary way.”
Put spears at the entrance of the cave in advance.
I put firewood smoke and pulled out the goblins.
After that, I hunted the ones running out one by one while losing my temper.
“Did the hunter NPCs even hunt sheep?”
“It was all wiped out. You won’t get this experience.”
among the party members.
The eyes of the warrior user reached the inside of the cave.
“ah.”
A treasure trove of goblins.
The place he found after months of gathering information was empty.
* * *
-15 gold 6 silver 80 copper obtained.
-Obtained the Ruby Ring.
– Obtained Plate Mail.
A smile appeared on Fafnir’s lips as he looked at the notification log.
‘This is it.’
There were numerous items in the goblin’s treasure chest.
Most of them were japtem, but sometimes there were precious metals, gold, and a few pieces of equipment.
‘The best of them all is this.’
[Black Amulet]
-Rating: Rare
-no effect.
-Description: A protective amulet that shimmers with the power of darkness
In the original, Flush puts this in a corner of the inventory.
However, after reading the novel, Fafnir knew the identity of this object.
‘If you break it, a powerful boss monster will be summoned in its place.’
Boss monsters are usually found deep in dungeons or fields.
Having many elite subordinates is a bonus.
This item is to summon such a guy one-on-one.
It’s a bonus that even experience points and items are given the same as the real thing.
In addition to simply hunting, it can also cause confusion by releasing it into the enemy camp.
It has infinite uses depending on future use.
‘The more Joker cards, the better.’
The level went up by 3 or so.
He saw all the benefits to see in the lair.
“Nice.”
While organizing my thoughts, I arrived at the southern gate of Byron City.
Fafnir naturally entered, holding out his adventurer’s badge.
The place he headed was the Hall of Occupation.
It was a large neutral temple in every city.
“You are a first-time adventurer.”
Inside the wide hall.
The priestess who saw Fafnir over the bonfire said.
“That’s right.”
“The class is the future you. Which one you choose is up to you. There’s nothing I can’t help with.”
After speaking, the priestess snapped her fingers.
“This is the future you can choose.”
[Determine the class]
-Class is the most important factor that determines how you will live in this world. Once selected, it cannot be changed, so please choose carefully.
[List of selectable classes]
[Combat Series]
-Warrior
-projection
-Wizard
… … syncopation… …
[Production Line]
-blacksmith
-farmer
-sculptor
A status window with numerous jobs lined up.
For each item, the appearance when the corresponding class was selected was reflected.
-attack!
-Follow me!
In the warrior category, he is a great swordsman who wields a sword and overwhelms the battlefield.
– Cuckoo!
From noble mtl dot com.
– Four, four gods! Death… … . evil!
In the thief category, an assassin who brings death to the king.
-Legendary items have been created.
-I-I can’t believe this… … .
-I lost… … !
At the blacksmith, I saw a blacksmith who beat the dwarves.
In the meantime, the priestess scanned Fafnir’s body up and down.
“you are… … . Your body is pretty solid. However, his intelligence and wisdom are quite high… … .”
Confusion appeared on the face of the priestess under the hood.
Confusion came because there was no recommended job that matched the status.
“Um… … . You have aptitude no matter which way you go.”
The priestess began to think.
Either that or not, Fafnir moved the notification window.
‘Since I thought of the wizard, I’m going to choose my own now.’
A class that can be effective in both large-scale battles and boss battles.
For big achievements, this is the best.
It was then.
‘That’s… … .’
The moment I was just about to choose a wizard.
One class stopped Fafnir.
– Warlock
A class that uses destructive dark magic.
When I put my hand on it, I saw a screen.
– Abyssal Swamp.
– Devil’s trap.
– Dark matter.
Dozens of Paladins.
Those who seemed to have hundreds of levels fell into the black swamp and gathered together, but were swept away by an explosion and turned into flesh.
‘It’s amazing.’
Fafnir was genuinely impressed.
A master of black magic that can be manipulated with dark mana.
Although there are several restrictions… … .
free deal.
If you exert your strength without any hindrance, you can inflict more damage than a wizard.
‘Come to think of it, the original Oh Jin-hwan was also in that class.’
In terms of the character’s aptitude, that class is correct.
‘Not bad, but… … .’
Oh Jin-hwan is a villain in the early and mid-season.
However, his potential and skills were definitely strong.
If the villains in the second half had large organizations, Oh Jin-hwan was the last villain to threaten Flush with his personal power.
His occupation was that of a black magician.
however… … .
‘What I’m aiming for is the peak.’
Fafnil’s eyes sharpened.
‘As a result of analysis, my control works well enough here.’
Of course, this is not a conclusion drawn from only a few experiences.
Even if you watch the videos of famous names, you are one step below yourself!
‘No matter what class you play, you won’t lose in one-on-one.’
As long as they weren’t wearing invincibility or immortality cheats, that was certain.
If so, you should choose a class that is advantageous in many-to-one battles.
‘If it’s a class with hunting and growth speed… … .’
Then there is only this class.
Fafnir said while pointing to one class in the list window.
“I will do this.”
“This… … .”
The priestess was surprised to see the class Fafnir offered.
“I didn’t even think about it. Do you really want to choose this class?”
“yes.”
“Okay, right then.”
As the priestess beckoned, a black aura swirled around Fafnir.
while it gets dark everywhere.
A notification window appeared along with the priestess’s words.
“From now on you… … .”
* * *
“Newcomer. Pick one.”
The Necromancer Guild in the back alleys of Byron City.
While assembling the mouse bones, a middle-aged NPC held out several books.
“Three are free as a service. Pay the money and buy the rest.”
[Summon Skeleton]
[Dark Ritual]
[Elite Skeleton Soldier Ministry]
[Dark Energy Ball]
[curse]
[Dark Heel]
… … syncopation… …
[Summon Mud Golem]
[Monster Ministry]
[Skeleton Mastery]
[Golem Mastery]
Fafnir thought.
‘This is the basic skill of a Necromancer.’
Fafnir’s chosen job is Necromancer!
It was a wizard type class that commanded numerous skeleton soldiers.
‘hmm.’
Looking through the list, Fafnir thought.
‘… … After all, it can be called a non-mainstream class.’
In Horizon, necromancer was a non-mainstream job.
It’s not the 2nd or 3rd level.
If you join a party, you will be kicked out immediately, virtually at the level of untouchables!
‘Necromancers only command skeletons, and they don’t fight directly, so that’s bound to be the case.’
The Necromancer’s main force is none other than the Skeleton Soldier.
However, in order to summon the Skeleton Soldier, he had to find a corpse every time.
The summoned Skeleton Soldier was not strong either.
The level is the same as that of the Necromancer, but since he has no intelligence, it is easier to give up complicated instructions or connections.
It is convenient to think of AI in computer games.
Because of this, the Necromancers had no choice but to use the Skeleton Soldier as a shield and fight in a way that puts a curse on them.
Armed with various skills and items.
Even against Tier 1 users whose heads are spinning.
‘So I have no choice but to be non-mainstream… … .’
However, Fafnir thought differently.
‘That’s why only necromancers can become the pinnacle.’
The world of Horizon is heartless.
As it is infinitely closer to reality, the weight of the page number becomes that much heavier.
Even if you take the 1st place in the rankings, even 10 of them, let alone 20 of the rankers, will barely win.
It was impossible for any job to break through the battle line single-handedly or take a matchless shot like Yeo-po.
But what if a necromancer enters the battlefield?
‘There is only one job across all classes that gets stronger as the number of heads increases.’
Kim Kang-han’s analytical skills from Dragon World!
Once I made up my mind, I chose Necromancer without hesitation.
The result was now.
“Don’t know which one to choose?”
While Fafnil is thinking about it.
A middle-aged NPC with rat-shaped bones all over the place asked.
“Then use the Skeleton Summon, Dark Ritual, and Dark Energy Ball.”
Skill recommendations for job NPCs.
It was the best recommendation made by synthesizing numerous data.
It was also the same as the normal Necromancer users.
however… … .
“I will do with these.”
The middle-aged man widened his eyes after seeing the skill Fafnir had selected.
“really?”
“yes.”
“… … .”
After examining Fafnil’s face for a moment, he said.
“Looks like I’m not crazy, but why don’t you think again?”
“it’s okay.”
“I’ll tell you in advance, it’s not easy to create an elite skeleton soldier. If you haven’t thought of anything… … .”
Despite several persuasions, Fafnir did not give up.
In the end, the middle-aged man clicked his tongue and handed over the skill book.
“Sorry. Do you think that your junior after a long time will disappear soon… … .”
“Then let’s make a bet.”
“bet?”
The middle-aged necromancer who was freeing the rat skeleton soldier grinned.
“Yes, if I grow well for a month, please give me a useful skill. Instead, if I’m cool… … .”
“Be my apprentice. As usual, there were not enough workers to look after the grave robbery.”
“what… … . I will.”
[A new quest has been created.]
-Proof of sprout number
-Goal: Achieve level 30 in 15 days (17/30)
– Remaining deadline: 15 days
-Reward: EXP, 1 random magic level necromancer skill
*If you fail, you become Necromancer Gould’s laborer for 6 months of game time.
“I’ll give you the shovel, kuh heh.”
The middle-aged man, said Gould, laughing and then hesitating.
It was because Fafnir, who had acquired the skill, left without looking back.
‘He’s got some skills.’
Fafnir came out to the city square and thought.
‘Then, shall we start by making an elite skeleton soldier?’
The hell with the bet, it’s cringe
