After finding a way to use the setting room infinitely, I decided to create a separate computer room within the academy.
The editor and manager may not be exceptional enough to enroll, but that’s not a problem since they’re literally coming in to work.
On the contrary, I had to fill a large space, so it turned out well.
Anyway, after setting up the necessary magic for the design, I turned on the broadcast immediately.
[?]
[Oh]
[Lilbangon!]
[Starting early today]
[Lilha]
[ㅀㅀㅀㅀ]
[Are you not doing the enrollment event? Are you not doing the enrollment event? Are you not doing the enrollment event?]
[How’s the island?]
[Oh, it’s wild lololol]
[Is it enrollment day?]
[What are we doing today?]
[When’s enrollment?]
[This place is that place]
[Job change?]
Currently, my position is the forge.
It’s my job change location and a place I must visit to receive the quest for the fourth job change.
“Welcome. Please take a seat.”
[Seating]
[ㅊㅅ]
[Sit down]
[What are we doing today?]
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1WE83WnhqbmRkVmFBelZMWWxOUi9nRlF3NmJyUUI5ZDdOYlg2bjVVbjA0aA
[How’s the island?]
“The island? It should be doing well.”
There are many unfinished tasks, but I’ve left it to them, so they should be managing it well.
Because managing the island is their responsibility.
“We just have to do our job well. First, we’ll receive the job change quest today.”
Smoke is rising from the forge.
Inside, there’s a burly uncle from whom I can receive my job change quest.
By the way, the job change quest is a hidden one, so it boasts a very bizarre level of difficulty.
[What will come out?]
[Let’s do 30 wolves lololol]
[Lily’s quest is hell for sure ㅇㅇ]
[Advanced wolf?]
[Looking forward to it]
I open the door to the forge.
The muscular uncle is in his usual spot.
He’s holding a huge bar, which probably wasn’t finished yet, hinting that he might have been in the middle of crafting.
“Welcome! You’ve gotten much stronger compared to before.”
“Still not enough, though.”
Compared to the past, I’m infinitely weak.
Especially when it comes to facing the kraken that’s soon approaching… it’s quite overwhelming.
[Still?]
[?]
[Isn’t Lily pretty strong? lolol?]
[Ah, lol, I need to get stronger]
[Lily’s still hungry]
[Lily should be able to topple a continent or two]
[Hahahahahaha]
I closely observed the man in front of me.
In the past, I couldn’t really see him since I was almost crawling…
‘…There’s something about him, though.’
Now, my strength is at a civilian level, but within that, I possess the powers of special races like raccoons.
I think I could dig deeper, but…
“Do you have any questions?”
“…No. Please give me the quest.”
For now, I decided to put my curiosity aside.
After all, I came here to take a quest, not to uncover identities.
“Alright then. Your mission is this!”
Ding!
[Job Change – Spearman 4.?]
Objective – Hunt 20 intermediate or higher world boss monsters, or hunt 1 extreme world boss monster.
Reward – A large amount of experience points, a great random box, ?
“Huh.”
Once again, it’s bizarre.
[?]
[?]
[What the hell is this again? LOL]
[Excuse me?]
[What’s with this “extreme” nonsense?]
[20 monsters? Isn’t that overdoing it?]
[LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL]
[Basically, they want me to clear it the hard way.]
[It’s not like intermediate world bosses are just roaming around.]
[Here we go again, last hits LOL]
[Truly insane difficulty.]
[Hate to be in this thread.]
[This thread is pure chaos LOL]
[What’s with the great random box?]
“That’s way too harsh.”
“This isn’t anything to worry about, is it? For you, that is.”
“Not really.”
How am I supposed to take down 20?
There haven’t been more than 20 world bosses in Deoen so far.
The Muscular Uncle chuckled.
“You can do it. Trust me.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Growth comes from challenges, you know? You’ll need it to deal with the threats that are coming.”
[Threats?]
[?]
[What threats are coming?]
[??]
[Are we talking about that?]
[The Kraken?]
I stared intently at the Muscular Uncle.
He’s still laughing playfully.
Does he know about the Kraken?
“Are you talking about the Kraken?”
“That’s one of the things.”
“?”
“Well, it doesn’t seem like I should be discussing this now. Anyway, do well and come back. I’ll give you a gift when you return.”
“…Understood.”
I don’t know what to expect, but I’ll give it a shot.
■
When the sun rises again, the Kraken awakens.
There are about three months left until then.
In the meantime, I need to either job-change or elevate the people’s levels to stop the Kraken.
An intermediate, or perhaps higher, Kraken is truly dangerous.
“I need to be prepared.”
[Is the Kraken really that strong?]
[The octopus isn’t that great.]
[Hmm.]
[When he says “that’s one of the things,” does it mean there’s something else?]
[Can’t wait for the Great Cataclysm LOL]
[Lily could make octopus sashimi, though.]
[I hope for the Kraken’s Spear to drop.]
[Will it drop?]
However, the people have no sense of the looming disaster.
They trust the skill of the mass-produced ones and instead see this as an opportunity for a power-up.
The land value of the port city that should be collapsing is actually rising, and that’s the reason.
‘They’ll realize it soon enough.’
How lightly they thought of themselves.
[So, what are we doing today?]
“Today, I’m thinking of testing what you’ve all been waiting for.”
[Oh]
[Oh?]
[Enrollment?]
[Can we go now?]
[What about the dimensional whatever?]
[That dimensional space thing]
[Really?]
[Right, we were supposed to get the magical stone]
Dimensional space implementation room.
Finally, I could open the ‘door’.
■
The dimensional space implementation room was over 100 pyeong, with the floor and walls entirely made of Blue-Red Stone.
Everything, including the pillars supporting the building, was covered by a mana shield, and the ceiling was arranged with translucent mana glass in a circular pattern.
In the middle of it all, the Metamor was ready to transform at any moment.
[It’s way bigger than I expected]
[This crazy building is all magical stone]
[When did they fill this?]
[Wasn’t it originally not this big?]
[So much]
[Did they tear down an island?]
[They’re filling all this]
[How much did they bring, hahaha]
“Eh, not much.”
[How much?]
I just brought some magical stones from Akron’s seal and near the volcanic island.
There’s no one left to seal in the seal, so there’s no need to leave anything, right?
After saying that, I lightly touched the Metamor.
Dudududu…! The blue mana light burst out, slowly opening the ceiling of the implementation room.
[?]
[Why did you bring that?]
[Hahahahahaha]
[Lily is the master, so that much is acceptable]
[Isn’t that obvious?]
[Oh]
[Really, lol]
[Looks cool]
[So much so]
[Hurry up!]
With the Metamor as a starting point, a holy magic circle was inscribed in the center, supported by the magical stones filling the space.
《Welcome to the Dimensional Space Implementation Room.》
《Currently, 2 dimensions can be implemented.》
《Completing this space will grant you ‘Enrollment Rights.’》
“Then, I’ll go in.”
The light engulfed me.
■
Splash!
The first thing I felt was my feet touching the ground.
The gray sky emanated a chill, and thick blood was flowing from the shattered earth.
My gaze slowly rose along the blood.
At the end of my gaze stood a castle with smoke rising.
A castle where everyone is dead but at the same time, everyone is alive.
Invaded by bloodsuckers,
Met death by bloodsuckers,
And were reborn by bloodsuckers.
《Dimension implementation complete.》
《Dimensional Difficulty – ●○○○○》
《You have entered the ‘Fifth Castle of the Bloodsucker’. A reward will be given according to the completion rate for each target achieved.》
《1. Remove the ‘Bloodstone’ located at the top of the castle.》
《2. Eliminate all bloodsuckers.》
《3. Defeat the Progenitor’s Prestige (Imitation Body).》
“Done.”
It turned out exactly as I imagined.
[Oh]
[This is insane]
[Where the hell is this?]
[LMAO]
[Wow]
[It’s almost like a dungeon, right?]
[Similar dungeon ㄷㄷ]
[Bloodsucker?]
[Like a vampire?]
[Did Lily make this?]
[Sounds fun]
[Looks a bit similar to last time]
[Oh shit]
To face the Progenitor Lasty, who swallowed half of the continent in the past, I went from castle to castle breaking them down.
It looks just like that time.
“You can enroll once you clear this, and the stats will be normalized like before.”
When powers are limited to 1%, it feels like a one-on-one duel; once again, stats will be restricted.
You can’t even use 1% of strength if you don’t manage your mana.
Still, if you have a job or trait specialized in bloodsuckers from the start, you’ll have an advantage, but honestly, it won’t make much difference.
《Choose two weapons.》
《1. Silver Sword (Against Bloodsuckers).》
《2. Crossbow (Against Bloodsuckers, silver arrows x66).》
《3. Staff (Against Bloodsuckers).》
《4. Against Bloodsuckers….》
Choosing the silver sword and crossbow, I walked toward the castle with a significantly slower pace than usual.
[Stat reduction is annoying]
[This sounds so fun]
[LMAO]
[Why are we at a dungeon? We could just do Lily’s dungeon]
[For real LOL]
[Didn’t pick the spear or hammer?]
[Why not the spear?]
[?]
[Lily can use anything well]
“I chose the weapon you guys are most likely to use. Today, you need to understand how this will play out.”
Of course, since this is a test to decide enrollment, the difficulty will increase and all patterns will change.
With the crossbow strapped to my back and sword in hand, I cautiously approached the castle gate.
Vampires guarding the castle gate.
Like all bloodsuckers, they have pale skin and red eyes.
Click.
Hiding my presence, I aimed the crossbow away from their gaze.
And then.
The bloodsucker’s neck was pierced.
