As usual, let’s allocate the SP and JP as needed. In particular, with today’s incidents, “Assassin” occupation can be raised to LV 10. If it is like how it was with “Spy”, more advanced occupations would be released.
Without waiting, I consume 10 JP in order to raise the level of “Assassin”. Now, what will happen? I wait for the Heavenly Voice with a pounding heart.
The Assassin’s Level has reached the upper limit. Senior Jobs and Derived Jobs are now available for selection. The Third Occupation is now available. Advanced Occupation “Killer” has been released. Advanced Occupation “Executioner” has been released. Advanced Occupation “Ninja” has been released. Certain conditions have been satisfied > Derived Occupation “Hidden Weapons User” has been released > Derived Occupation “Fugitive” has been released > Derived Occupation “Carrier” has been released > Derived Occupation “Shadow Master” has been released >
Once again, more advanced occupations and derived occupations have been presented.
Which one should I select?
CH 57
I look at the newly presented occupations.
Killer , Executioner , and Ninja ?
“So it’s like that.”
Killer ?
I see, I see. How do you even read this? (T.N: its written as 兇手』on the screen, and he doesn’t know how to read the Chinese characters.)
Kyōshu is it? I take out a dictionary from the Item Box in order to search up its definition.
Found it. It is indeed pronounced Kyōshu. ‘Someone who is aiming to kill another individual. It can also indicate the means to do so’. Without a doubt, Killer is the advanced version of Assassin .
“ . damn”
I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know how the word was read. After all, I was a productive member in society. My vocabulary must be really lacking “Kuun?” It is hard to bear Momo’s gaze, which seems to be asking “What happened”? Nothing, Momo. It’s nothing.
Well, you know, words like this are never used in daily conversations, so it doesn’t count. Let’s just leave it at that. It’s not like anyone is watching. Going back to the matter at hand, I should try to choose a profession.
“If I must decide, it would be either Ninja or Killer .” Killer seems to have the closest correlation with Assassin .
In the case of Executioner , does it raise one’s overall combat ability along with one’s stealth? (T.N: Just a personal question, but shouldn’t killers be more stealthy compared to executioners?) Ninja gives off a professional image, and it sounds pretty powerful. If the ninjas in games and mangas can be reproduced in real life, they should be pretty overpowered.
“If I can use ‘Ninjutsu’ in real life, it would be pretty convenient ” Things like Transformation and Body Double Creation. Concepts like how the Earth element is weak against the Lightning element. (T.N: Naruto reference I’m guessing) If I can actually do things like these, they could turn out to be quite useful.
While not many ninjas excel in covert operations, looking back at how I survived during the past few days, the occupation could be of some value.
“After all, there are some enemies that can’t be overcome in the fashion that I did in the past.” Covert actions are made invalid by monsters such as Orcs and Shadow Wolves. Especially, it’s difficult to flee from monsters like the High Orc even if I wanted to.
A fight that cannot be avoided. Such things are bound to happen again in the future. To overcome these predicaments, the only solution is to have more power. All things considered, the option of Ninja is very attractive. Not only can it boost my abilities in battles, it is also compatible with my previous style of survival.
“I’ve decided”
4 points are needed to convert to advanced occupations. I prepare myself before deciding on the Ninja . Now, come.
Assassin has been converted to the higher leveled occupation, Ninja. Your Occupation has been Changed to Ninja. You have acquired the skill “Ninjutsu”. You have acquired the skill “Throwing”. You have acquired the skill “Enhanced Senses”. You have acquired the skill “Odorless”. You have acquired the skill “Silent Operation”. You have acquired the skill “Concealment”. The existing skill “Silent Movement” has been integrated into the skill “Silent Operation”. “Silent Operation” has risen from LV 1 to LV 3. The existing skill “Hiding” has been integrated into the skill “Concealment”. “Concealment” has risen from LV 1 to LV 2. The Heavenly Voice resounds inside my head. Within my heart, I perform a ‘guts’ pose. Great! I received the skills that I was hoping for. “Ninjutsu”. As soon as I receive the skill, its utilities are made known to me. Ohh this can come in handy. I’m looking for to trying it.
The other skills that I acquired aren’t bad either. In particular, I’m grateful for the “Silent Operation” and “Odorless” skills. They can be countermeasures against the Orcs and Shadow Wolves.
Now then, it’s time to select my third job. Aside from the jobs that were previously presented, there are also new options that I can select from.
Citizen, Adventurer, Clerk, Negotiator, Hikikomori, NEET, Apprentice Monk, Cook, Rider.
Secret Reporter, Thief, Monster Tamer (LV 2).
Hidden Weapons User, Fugitive, Carrier, Shadow Master.
This is hard. At first, I was thinking of selecting “Monster Tamer”, but it is hard to discard the newly available options. It is particular so for “Shadow Master”. This occupation has most likely been born as a result of the cooperation between Momo and me. I’m guessing that it can allow me to control shadows at will. If I choose this, my battles with Momo will become more efficient. Then again, if I consider my connections with Aka and Momo, it is difficult to let go of the “Monster Tamer”. On a different note, “Carrier” sounds like it can enhance my “Item Box”.
What should I do
While I am contemplating, Momo jumps on to my knees. I wonder what the issue is.
Looking at my face, Momo manipulates her shadow. Is she trying to appeal herself?
“Momo, are you recommending the ‘Shadow Master’?” “Wan!”
Yes, Momo seems to say.
Hmm .
“Furu Furu”
Aka is also shaking. It’s as if it agrees with Momo. So Aka also thinks “Shadow Master” is better huh?
“Don’t you guys think ‘Monster Tamer’ can improve our collaboration?” “Wan! Wan!”
When I ask such a question, both of them shake their heads. Wait, Aka doesn’t have a head to begin with. They seem to be telling me that they can excel without relying on the effects of the “Monster Tamer”.
“Well then, I’ll go with ‘Shadow Master’.” Acquiring the third occupation also requires 4 points. I decide on the “Shadow Master”.
Your third occupation has become the “Shadow Master”. You have acquired the skill “Shadow Manipulation”. I’m only given one skill. But then again, just like Momo, I might acquire more skills as I level up. Furthermore, the ability to control shadows can in and of itself be powerful.
There are 18 JP left. As for how they will be used, I can think about it after I raise the proficiency of my skills.
Every time an occupation’s level increases by a factor of 3, the skills that come with the occupation gain a level. With that in mind, if I invest SP on my skills before raising my occupation levels, I can reduce the overall consumption of SP. With that said, let’s improve my skills.
I have a grand total of 63 Skill Points.
First and foremost, I raise the levels of “Ninjutsu”, “Throwing”, “Enhanced Senses”, “Odorless”, “Concealment”, and “Shadow Manipulation” to 3.
