Tactical Stock (1)
The fairy, who called herself a helper, diligently rolled her red-green eyes and read the scroll quickly.
From the occasional frown or laughter, it is clear that he is enjoying the job he has been assigned for the first time in a while.
Chris, who waited for him with all his patience, explained the situation to Illesis and Tyrone who appeared from behind.
“Chris, the sun is going down, so why is it still… uh huh?”
“What else is that? It kind of makes me feel bad.”
“I heard that the fairy will give you a reward when you fill up all the epic experience points.”
At the end of the overly brief explanation, the fairy finally raised her head.
Illesis and Tyrone take their seats next to Chris and wait for him to speak.
“You waited a long time. There are a total of 7 epic classes that the user has met the learning conditions for. Usually it’s three at most, but that’s amazing. To be honest, I admired it a little.”
“hmm… Are you choosing one of those 7? I have something to check before that. Epic classes can be applied together regardless of existing classes, right?”
“That’s right. The list is long, so please slow down and listen carefully.”
When Chris asked a question, remembering that he had to make a choice, the fairy cleared his throat once more.
What started soon after was a rhyme like a bard’s song.
“You have traveled all over the continent alone for a long time. This permits the acquisition of the Epic Class, ‘Lone Wanderer’.”
“Lone wanderer… It’s not a very good feeling.”
As Tyrone expresses his feelings next to him, the fairy glares at him.
However, the boy soon decided to focus on his work.
“The Lone Wanderer has the ability to attract good fortune when traveling alone. Playing card games at the inn will always bring you an ace of spades, and no more blind arrows. When you don’t know the way, just let your gut feel.”
“Huh… … .”
While listening to the fairy’s explanation, Chris exclaimed involuntarily.
The ability of the epic class was different from that of the normal class.
However, the fairy immediately adds a warning.
“But if you stay in one place for more than four days, your powers will gradually weaken. The same goes for traveling with a group.”
“Oh yeah? Then pass.”
Chris shook his head without thinking deeply.
I don’t know if it’s the old days when there was nowhere to turn to.
Now he has companions called Illesis and Tyrone.
He even became the lord of Vector, so the Lone Wanderer’s abilities are abysmal.
As if the fairy expected Chris’ answer, he didn’t show any reaction and continued his explanation.
“The second Epic class is ‘Thorough Contractor’. You acted as a mercenary and performed numerous contracts. I have never violated or destroyed any contract without permission, so I authorize you to acquire that class.”
“and… Have you really never been offended?”
“of course. Speaking of Chris, a mercenary from another world, it was a symbol of faith and trust, man.”
Chris responded to Tyrone with a thin smile, then took the posture of listening again.
The fairy feels the gaze of the audience and puts on a satisfied expression.
“A contract guaranteed by a thorough contractor can never be broken. It’s not that if you break the contract, you’ll die, but both sides will move only for the fulfillment of the contract.”
“It’s a bit of an odd ability… … .”
As Illesis muttered, Chris agreed inwardly.
This ability is certainly powerful and versatile, but it seemed to be just as dangerous.
Above all, Chris was not overconfident in his language skills.
Since a contract is inevitably accompanied by word play, it could end up binding itself.
When Chris looks deeply troubled, the fairy waves his hand and speeds up again.
“There are still a lot left, so you can listen to them all and decide. The third epic class is ‘The Disguiser in the Mask’. You have been fooling people by using many faces. So I am qualified to learn this class.”
“Kuhm… … .”
Recalling his life at Seidran Royal Academy, Chris instinctively looked at Illesis and shrank.
Fortunately, Illesis shows no sign of bruising him.
Now that she has a sense of it, she expects the ability of the Epic class with both eyes shining.
The fairy seemed to be satisfied with Chris and his party’s attitude of listening.
“The more advanced disguise ability is the essence of the disguiser class. In addition to taking on the same appearance as the target of the disguise, it can mimic some of its abilities. In addition, it is possible to transform beyond gender, age, and even race. But when someone sees through it, it loses its power.”
“If there is something like the Lord’s Eye, it means you should be careful.”
As Tyrone muttered, Chris’ face hardened slightly.
“You can’t choose an ability that gets nullified by such a trash Epic item.”
“hey!”
“You don’t like this either? You’re tougher than you look. So what about ‘The Relentless Undead’? You have the experience of saving your life through the vitality of the status window.”
Chris raised one eye at the appearance of a name that seemed to be powerful.
“An immortal?”
“Relentless Undead provide limited respawn ability. Once a year, you can come back from the brink of death, as long as your whole body is not reduced to dust. The basic vitality is also getting stronger.”
“Does that look really good?”
Illesis, attracted by the tenacious power of the Undead, admired Chris as if to persuade him.
However, Chris was still in trouble.
What he needed was not strong insurance, but the ability to use it usefully in many ways. It would be difficult to deal with the Prime Minister who took over the Breton Empire simply by dying and resurrecting.
“The resurrection ability is certainly attractive, but I think its versatility is too poor. Normally, it won’t be as efficient as other epic classes.”
“Just do that… … .”
Chris urged the fairy, pretending not to hear Illesis’ grumbling.
“Is this the fifth?”
“That’s right. The fifth is ‘ruthless predator’. It is an epic class that has been granted through the history of stealing someone else’s magic and making it your own.”
“Hoo.”
“The unique ability of the class is the strengthening of the predation power. You will be able to absorb the physical characteristics, knowledge, and talents of the predation target. But the absorption rate is a little too good… We are not responsible for any side effects.”
“Side effects?”
When Chris, who seemed to be very useful, asked, the fairy sighed.
“Sometimes it absorbs the memories and shortcomings of the target of predation, and the personality changes… … .”
“no! next!”
Before the fairy could finish explaining, Illesis intervened as if screaming.
By this point, the elf also looked a little tired.
“I only have two left anyway… What ability do you want? In some cases, we may wait until you meet the conditions to learn the class.”
“Oh yeah? The service is better than expected. Are there any epic classes that can ignore all sorts of magic? One that is strong enough to resist summoning spells that interfere with other dimensions.”
If it gains transcendent magic resistance and becomes unaffected by player summoning spells, it will be possible to return to Earth.
The fairy swallowed her saliva as if searching through her memory for a moment, then clapped her hands.
“aha. You want the ‘magic rejecter’ class. Have you ever been abused by a wizard before?”
“no… Being abused is not enough, and I have experience of having the status window stolen.”
“Then, the experience of annihilating mages above a certain level… Doesn’t it look like That would be a bit difficult.”
Just in case, I felt relieved by Illesis when Chris, who wanted to do it just in case, let out a pained sound.
Now the fairy’s voice gained more speed than before.
“sixth. ‘All-round warrior’. It seems that the user has used the class change function very usefully. If you thought that the cooldown of the function was getting in the way, this is perfect.”
“A function related to class change.”
Chris listened with clear anticipation.
Class change is a key function in the operation of the status window.
At least Chris thought so.
“Now, save and use the skills you like one by one. An all-round warrior can borrow and use the skills of each class without any penalty.”
“Borrowing skills one by one? Without any penalty?”
“Ah, of course, only warrior-type classes are allowed.”
“It kills me. Because there are a total of 21 warrior-type classes… If you pick that one, you get 20 skills for free.”
For some reason, an agitated Tyrone seduces Chris.
Chris also really liked this ability.
However, it is still too early to make a decision.
An all-powerful warrior has a very fatal weakness.
“But this isn’t enough if I just learn all the skills myself. Doesn’t an all-powerful warrior become more and more useless as skill training progresses?”
“Hey, you burn! At what age are you going to learn it all? Are you really confident in learning all the skills of all classes?”
Chris glared at him as Tyrone, heartbroken, gave him a face-off.
However, there is some truth in Tyrone’s words.
According to Chris’ calculations, it would take at least five years for him to learn all the skills registered in the status window.
Even 10 years would not be enough to become skilled at a level comparable to that of a shield knight beyond simply imitating.
Although he mastered the skills of the Shield Knight in three months, it was entirely thanks to meeting his master well. So, even an all-powerful warrior cannot be said to be a useless Epic class.
Chris stuck the name in his head and urged the fairy.
“It’s the most usable out of all the ones I’ve seen so far… Since I’ve come this far, I should listen to everything. What about the other one?”
“The last… Uh oh, and then I saw this. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but it’s okay… … .”
The fairy, who was looking at the scroll to recall her memories, let out an inexplicable sigh and went to the main topic.
Chris and Nakboros soon found out why.
“Betrayed by more than 7 gods, killed 53 priests and followers. Even the blasphemy of burning the holy mark… You turned the churches of the entire continent into enemies, but you managed to survive until now.”
“for a moment. Does that also become a condition for learning the epic class? Isn’t the status window a program created by the ancient god Arios for cultivating believers?”
It’s a program for cultivating believers, but there’s an epic class that opens only when you kill a believer or blaspheme.
Chris, taken aback by the fairy’s words, asked, startled, and he averted his gaze.
“Ah, that is beyond my authority to tell you. Anyway, congratulations on meeting the learning requirements for the ‘Sacred Hater’ class. If you choose this class, you will no longer benefit from divine spells. Because of this, priests everywhere will recognize the apostate at once.”
“Why is this only the penalty first… … .”
“Because the penalty is so severe. Instead, the unique abilities are strong and useful. A god-hater might avoid his or her divine punishment or erase other users’ status windows.”
“… what?”
For a brief moment, Chris doubted his ears.
The fairy explains once again, showing the attitude of teaching a lower grade elementary school student.
“You said that earlier when you asked about the magic rejecter class, right? Users have experienced the status window being taken away. It’s like that.”
Chris’ heart, which had been affirmed by the fairy, pulsated pleasantly.
I was excited when I heard about the all-around warrior class earlier, but now it’s more than that.
His nemesis, the prime minister, enjoys power by commanding numerous players.
Destroying their status window is like cutting off the prime minister’s limbs.
Without hesitation, Chris forgot about the all-around warrior class and made a request to the fairy.
“To be a god-hater.”
“Hey, are you really? Leaving classes like the tenacious Undead or the all-powerful warrior… … .”
“God-haters!”
When I strongly demanded it again, the fairy gave up persuasion.
The guy nodded shyly and put the scroll into the subspace.
