“I think it’s poison, what should we do?”

Castle asked again.

The green liquid was toxic.

“Do you think tanking it will be difficult?”

“I don’t think the defense of the building will be lower than my defense.”

The building also has a defense, but the poison was strong enough to melt it. There was no way he had more defense than a building.

“Then we should bail out.”

Silver said. It was the most basic rule of hunting, if the monster dealt an absurd amount of damage that you cannot take. Start running away.

Having made the decision, Castle and Silver turned around and started running away.

Whether it was because they did not attack or because they were destroying the surrounding buildings, the Chimeras did not pursue Castle and Silver.

“It is not just here, right?”

“Perhaps it is.”

As they ran away, Castle and Silver talked.

“Is there anyone who can withstand that poison?”

Silver asked.

It is poison strong enough to melt buildings. Are there any users who can survive that?

“Is it possible for rankers? Either they remove the poison or kill the chimeras before they get poisoned.”

Castle mentioned the rankers. They are on a different level from normal users.

“But there’s no way that rankers can be in a village like that.”

“Right.”

Castle nodded his head at Silver’s words.

In order to maintain their power and ranking, rankers had to constantly hunt monsters for experience points and items. Therefore, no matter how close the town was to be promoted to a city, there is no way there will be any rankers here.

“Then the places where the Chimera appeared today…”

Castle stopped and glanced behind him while blurring the rest of his words.

He saw buildings collapsing one by one.

Soo Hyuk tilted his head while looking at the books on the bookshelves.

‘But why is there no light?’

There was no light. Not just one or two books, but all of them had no glow.

‘Did I read all of them?’

He wondered if he might have read them.

‘But I only read 4 books in the Demon World.’

However, Soo Hyuk only read 4 books in the Demon World.

‘Then are these books from the Middle World?’

This is a demon’s warehouse, there are slim chances that books written in demon language will be stored here. So, what kind of books do demons keep in their treasure houses?

It is probably books written in other languages.

Moreover, since there was no glow, it is very likely that these books were written in human language.

Soo Hyuk went to the bookshelf to check first. He pulled out one of the books on the bookshelf and checked its information.

After checking the information, Soo Hyuk discovered that he was wrong.

{Skill Book – Magic Release [Hero]}

When used, the skill ‘Magic Release’ can be acquired.

The true nature of the books were skill books. Disappointment appeared on Soo Hyuk’s face when he discovered that.

‘It’s a skill book.’

It was not a book he read, but a book that he could not read.

With a look of disappointment, Soo Hyuk put the skill book back in its original place.

‘Are all these skill books?’

And he thought as he looked at the books on the bookshelf.

He did not confirm it, but the probability was very high.

‘Is there a legend grade spell book?’

At a sudden thought, Soo Hyuk erased his disappointed expression. Whether it is legendary or heroic, Soo Hyuk cannot use the skill book. However, the value of a legendary skill book is enormous.

What if there was a legendary grade skill book in here?

Soo Hyuk began to check the books one by one.

{Skill Book – Shadow Absorption [Hero]}

When used, the skill ‘Shadow Absorption’ can be acquired.

{Skill Book – Bell of Peace [Hero]}

When used, the skill ‘Bell of Peace’ can be acquired.

After checking all the skill books, Soo Hyuk made a disappointed expression.

‘Not here.’

There was not a legendary-grade skill book. The skill books on the bookshelf were all hero grade.

‘Too bad.’

Soo Hyuk went back to the entrance. He wanted to check the map.

‘Huh?’

On the way to the entrance, Soo Hyuk tilted his head as he saw Yeon Jeung.

‘Why is he doing that?’

Yeon Jeung was checking a shield. It was not the legendary shield obtained from Ebratam.

It appears that he found it here. Why are you looking at it?

‘Is that legendary grade as well?’

Yeon Jeung’s face was full of worries. It seemed that he was thinking about whether he should take that shield or not.

Soo Hyuk passed by Yeon Jeung and reached the entrance.

Meanwhile Yeon Jeung was holding the shield and agonizing to reach a decision. He checked the shield’s information again.

{Guardian Atonic’s Shield [Legendary]}

Guardian Atonic’s shield. When worn, the shield disappears, and the job quest ‘Guardian’ is created.

Yeon Jeung already had a legendary grade shield, but he checked the shields wondering if one of them had better options.

That is how he found the ‘Guardian Atonic’s Shield’.

At first, he thought it was a set item. But it was not. Guardian Atonic’s Shield is a class change item.

‘Legendary grade.’

It is not an ordinary grade class change item either.

‘It seems like a shield bearer job.’

The name came from the guardian, and the shield was a class change item.

It was clear that the job will mainly use shields. It is a very good job for Yeon Jeung.

‘What do I do?’

He was worried. If you change to a special job, you cannot go back to a normal one ever again.

In other words, if the guardian is not a good class, he will be in trouble.

‘Still.’

Yeon Jeung’s heart slowly began to tilt.

`Its name is very cool.’

He was attracted to the name ‘Guardian’. It was Yeon Jeung who always wanted a special job.

‘Okay!’

After much deliberation, Yeon Jeung decided.

[Obtained the Guardian Atonic’s Shield.]

[Number of items that can be acquired: 2]

Yeon Jeung put it in the inventory to acquire it, then took it out and equipped it.

[Guardian Atonic’s shield is destroyed.]

[The job quest ‘Guardian’ has been created.]

At the same time as he wore the shield. it was destroyed and a job quest was created.

Looking at the message, he opened the quest window.

{Class Quest – Guardian}

You achieved the first condition to become a Guardian.

Become a Guardian by fulfilling the conditions below!

[Number of Friends: 69 / 50] (TN: I have nothing to do with the numbers.)

Quest Reward: Class – Guardian

Yeon Jeung confirmed the quest, but he could not say anything. It was because of the completion condition.

‘The number of friends added?’

The condition for changing to the profession ‘Guardian’ was to have 50 people in your friend list.

‘It’s kind of embarrassing.’

Neither hunting monsters nor obtaining items. You just need to add friends. It gave Yeon Jeung a bad feeling.

‘Isn’t this a troll job?’

He thought of troll jobs like ‘Limitless Scavenger’.

‘It’s already spilled.’

The item was already used, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Yeon Jeung pressed complete.

[Level and job skills are reset if you change job to ‘Guardian’.]

[Current level: 443]

[You cannot acquire bonus stats until you reach level 443.]

Then a message appears, it was not the quest completion message but a warning.

As soon as he saw the message, Yeon Jeung’s face was distorted. Level and Job skills reset?

What nonsense is this?

Yeon Jeung saw the window that appeared with the message.

[Do you want to become a Guardian?]

‘If he clicks this, will he become one?’

If he presses OK, he will change his job and his level and job skills will be reset.

“Ugh.”

Yeon Jeung groaned in a worried expression.

“What do I do?”

He did not even think that his level and job skills would be reset.

‘Shall I leave it like this?’

He did not have to complete the quest. If he does not complete the quest, nothing will change.

Although he would have wasted a legendary grade item.

‘Huh.’

Yeon Jeung continued to contemplate while sighing.

‘Okay.’

Soon he decided. He stretched his finger and pressed the button.

[You have changed to a Guardian.]

[Level is reset.]

[The job skill is reset.]

[All items are unequipped.]

[Obtained the Guardian Manual.]

[You have acquired the skill ‘Guardian’.]

[You have acquired the skill ‘Guardian Shield Art’.]

Yeon Jeung’s choice was confirmation not cancellation.

‘What is the importance of being a ranker in the current situation?’

There were many reasons for wanting to become a ranker. However, the biggest reason among them was the number of subscribers to his channel. The current number of subscribers has risen significantly thanks to Soo Hyuk.

‘Being a ranker is not everything.’

A high ranker is not a strong being, he just has a high level.

Moreover, like Soo Hyuk there are people who do not register in the rankings in the first place.

‘I’m going to have to switch my info to unofficial right now.’

Yeon Jeung decided to change his ranking settings to unofficial and opened the character window.

Then he deactivated the appearance of his job, guild, etc. He deactivated all the lists he had turned on.

Affiliation: Fade

Guild: Reader

Occupation: Guardian

Level: 1

Experience: 0%

Health: 102000

Mana: 5000

Satiety: 89%

Power: 1430

Agility: 467

Stamina: 1754

Wisdom: 250

‘Still, the level will rise quickly.’

Due to the bonus stats and the power of titles, he had stats that could not be considered a level 1.

With this kind of stats, he would be able to level up quickly.

Yeon Jeung then closed the character window, then opened his inventory.

It was to read the job manual that he had acquired while changing jobs.

‘The description of the skills will also appear.’

In Pangea, the skill information displayed in the skill window is very unkind. But the manual would explain it very well.

Yeon Jeung took out the Guardian’s Manual and started reading. The first thing that came up was the job description for the Guardian.

The job description was not so important, so he skipped it and focused on the skill descriptions.

“Huh!?”

However, as soon as he read it, surprise appeared in his face. It was because of the description of the skill ‘Guardian’. After reading all the explanations, he was astonished.

1. Guardian

Can be cast on one of your party members.

Increase target attack power by 10%

The target receives 50% damage instead.

Target’s hunting experience increase by 50%

Receive 20% of the target’s hunting experience instead.

‘This is a crazy skill.’

‘The skill ‘Guardian’ was a real OP skill. Increases attack power and takes damage instead of the target. It also increases hunting experience. Of course, he also shares some of the bonus exp, but that was never a bad thing.’

‘It’s a 50% increase, so 1.5. Even if I lose 20% of them.’

Helping each other is good for him and the target.

‘If I cast this skill on Soo Hyuk.’

Yeon Jeung imagined what would happen if cast the skill Guardian on Soo Hyuk, while they hunted in the Demon World.

“Great.”

A large smile appeared on his lips.

Yeon Jeung started looking for Soo Hyuk. He wanted to tell Soo Hyuk about this skill as soon as possible.

ED Note: Looks like Soo Hyuk’s luck is permeating Yeon Jeung. He’s about to ride the biggest bus.
