How the Villain Lives

6. Preparation.

When the former Temple's compulsory mission, which would have created a somewhat pathetic atmosphere if it had been usual, was imminent, people were getting pushed. Those bastards who still don't have a basic job come to get a basic job somehow by making money, and those who already have a basic job come to get a primary awakening.

Unlike the expectation that it would be over soon, after waiting for about 30 minutes in the sun, Sung-hoon who barely entered the temple of his predecessor wiped his sweat. At least if I had been one of the many priests who helped my former position, I wouldn't have been able to awaken before the compulsory mission began.

"Oh, it's been a long time. Do you remember me?"

"Absolutely, Priest Philip."

It was also the NPC that helped the former for the first time, and the name was easy to remember, so I still remember it. Meanwhile, as he remembered his name, Philip stroked his beard and grabbed him and entered a small room in the corner of the temple.

It was so loud outside that people were talking, and as soon as I closed the door, I couldn't hear anything outside.

"Hahaha. I'm not the only one who's struggling with people's sudden pushes these days. But seeing someone who knows you like this can make you feel a little different."

"I'm glad I met Priest Philip, too. I wanted to thank you again."

"Courtesy. Don't say anything out of your mind. The reason you're here is to awaken the first one. Well, it's not bad to hear."

Even if it's a word in your mouth, it's definitely more emotional than people who come clumsily.

"Then I'll show you the way forward. I hope you make an unfortunate choice."

[Swordsman (1st Awakening)], [Trapper], [Passenger], [First Class Inspector], [Venom], [First Class Adventurer], [Combat Avi (Recommended)].

I thought that if I just spoke, I would naturally awaken the primary awakening. Suddenly, various windows opened and I had to panic about Sung-hoon.

"Wait. Why do you have so many more jobs? Wasn't it just the first awakening?"

"Days. Don't you remember what I said before?"

I remember his name, but I didn't remember what he said until now.

"Didn't they say they would recommend the best job by combining the actions they did?"

"I think you said that."

"You've earned your job as a warrior. But immediately after that, when it's time to learn magic and hunt hard to awaken the primary, will you give me the primary awakening from your former temple as a warrior occupation, or will you recommend a new occupation considering your actions as a wizard?"

"... The latter."

"Yes. Honestly, it's his taste. It can change at any time. In the temple of his predecessor, he only penetrates it and recommends a job that suits you."

Certainly there were several jobs that reflected what he had done so far, even if only by name.

Especially recently, I was forced to be even more captivated when this opportunity came during a conflict that did not save much magic. One of the most worrying jobs was fighting first-class adventurers.

[First Class Adventurer]

A first-class adventurer is not just about being strong. As you travel and experience, you need to become proficient in a variety of skills. But that doesn't just mean you're good at the job. There is no shortage of force to protect a single body. A first-class adventurer gets a slight penalty for combat, but gets a slight bonus for all skills except combat.

Key stats: Agility, Wisdom.

[Abi to Fight]

A fighting father is like a lone wolf. It has not only the strength of a single god, but also the tenacity to survive in the middle of the wild. Specialized in combat abilities, but can't use magic. You can learn some very basic skills and apply them to combat.

Key stats: Strength, HP, AGI.

There are three options.

An swordsman who can evenly utilize all the skills that Sung-hoon currently possesses.

And a first-class adventurer with a slight decrease in combat power but bonus to all skills.

Finally, you can't use magic, but unlike the two professions, you can fight armies that specialize in combat.

All three had their own charm.

'Excludes first-class adventurers. Melee combat abilities are too low. My combat style is now completely braced and my other skills are merely combat aids. Then will you carry all the skills as you have so far, or will you maximize your combat abilities and decrease the utilization of your assistive skills?'

Both advantages and disadvantages were so obvious that they could not be determined.

So far, thanks to the skill of a swordsman, I've had fun in many ways. However, it was reducing the need for real melee combat capabilities. Isn't that why you put a recommendation next to your father to fight?

"Are you worried? I have a lot of time, so think about it."

"Hmm. Let me ask you one more question. Are the rest of the jobs, except for the swordsman, all primary or basic?"

"Everything you're looking at is a primary awakening job. Whatever you choose, you can awaken the first one."

"Hmmm."

Honestly, Sung-hoon wanted to choose a father to fight.

I wasn't feeling much of a merit in magic, and I was wondering if specializing in one family would be a better option. If there were no external factors, Sung-hoon would have chosen to fight without hesitation.

However, we have a class S mission in our sights.

'A Class S mission. Dozens of rankers broke out and were wiped out on a Class B mission. A Class S mission would be a dozen times more dangerous, of course. Is there anything different about specializing in combat abilities to the first degree of awareness? No, it's definitely not going to have a big impact. This is obvious.'

I don't know if the mission is short-term or long-term, but I was sure of one thing. This was not a measure of success for one or two users, but the fact that all users had to unite to break the mission. Then, he said that he would not be able to play a role because his combat abilities would be enhanced unless he was truly transcendent in strength.

Then, what was needed in the Class S mission immediately was to have the ability to respond to all situations as Sung-hoon had done so far.

Though his mind was pointing to his father to fight, reason was asking him to choose an artificial swordsman. After all, Sung-hoon sighed long and said.

"Can you change your job later?"

"Of course. If you pay me three times the cost, I can change it again."

"How much does it cost to awaken the primary?"

"Fifty thousand guilds."

'I'll pick up a hundred and fifty thousand guilds later.'

When the compulsory mission was over, the Holy Hun decided to choose a fighting father and gave Philip five silver and white coins, and Philip lightly brought his hand to the head of the Holy Hun with a shining hand.

"I want to evolve as an expert swordsman."

"It will be done as you choose. Congratulations on walking the path of the swordsman, the swordsman's highest-ranking occupation."

You are awakened as an Artist.

Increases all stats by 5

Skill level is increased slightly.

Increases Job Skill Rank.

You have learned the skill "Antidote" exclusive to swordsmen.

You have learned the skill "Vaporization" for swordsmen.

You have mastered the skill "Water Pole Pill" for swordsmen.

[Artist ( )]

Since ancient times, swordsmen have been eager to explore all the knowledge of the world and gain enlightenment. And the swordsman is a celestial man. I distinguished between enlightenment and ability by three. The Swordsman realized the essence of a water pole that could bring together a variety of knowledge, and learned an amulet that could be used more easily.

"You've got a lot going on."

"Hahaha. When you awaken, you will have a skill that suits you. Is awakening satisfactory?"

"To be honest, it's a little too bad. I wanted to choose my father to fight."

"You can always change this when you're ready. Huhu."

When Philip makes a circle with his thumb and index finger, Sung-hoon wakes up with a smile. Whether killed or fed, the work has already been done. All that was left was to learn the skills and get used to them before the compulsory mission began.

Everyone went on a mission and walked quite a distance from the usual and entered the familiar inn. Sung-hoon first opened the status window.

Name: Yooseong Hun

Occupation: Swordsman

Title: Traitor (6)

Tendency: Reputation +2250, Notoriety +7800

Ability: Strength: 68 AGI: 92 HP: 59 Wisdom: 77 Magic Power: 69 Luck: 35

Status: Normal.

The title was only a traitor who could get the skill effect, so he continued to equip the traitor. Although not as bad as before, it was satisfactory enough because all abilities increased by 5 with the 1st Awakening Bonus.

Agility might be the first count if I tried a little more.

'Agility, wisdom and magic are the main abilities of swordsmen. But when you become a fighting father, you need to increase your abilities with strength, agility, and stamina. Shit.'

Next, I saw the skill window that floated, and I was slightly surprised by Sung-hoon.

Originally, the magic level of charity had risen to Rare, and endless exploration had risen to Rare. Perhaps awakening enhanced occupational skills as well.
