SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 12

Caught ○○○○ at level 1 (3)

‘I did it.’

Duel with orc fighters. The seemingly impossible task was finally accomplished by Lokan.

Had the orc battle ax not been obtained from the duel with the orc warriors, if the Berserk had been only a few seconds shorter, it would have been Lokhan who fell.

But in the end, Lokan was able to stand firmly in his place.

‘If you win, you’re the best.’

Rokhan’s reddened eyes returned to their original state as he felt the power that filled his body with the white glow.

Beetle.

The effect of leveling up that restores all status ailments, vitality, and mana did not blow away even Berserk’s aftereffects.

Lokan staggered greatly at the sudden sense of separation, but no one looked down on him or attacked him. Because Rokhan proved himself as a warrior.

Legend-level title acquired again!

And even a title of a rare level that I never thought possible!

‘what ‘

Lokan clenched his fists as if he had done it, then panicked. The rare level title, ‘Honor Orc Warrior’, was a problem.

The fact that he could no longer hunt orcs was a moment in which his calculations were greatly changed as he was trying to make the orc camp as his main hunting ground.

“It’s good to get a legend-level title, but this is… … .”

Instead of forming a trusting relationship with the Orcs, who could never get close to each other because of their race and faction, they could no longer gain experience by hunting them.

He had no choice but to overthrow his plan of devouring orc warriors one by one through a duel.

“I can’t help it.”

I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it. There are many ways to level up even if you are not an orc warrior. Lokan gladly accepted that fact.

‘I think I can use this… … .’

At the same time, he began to roll his head in search of a way to use this newly acquired title.

‘Wait, is that possible now?’

And something popped into my head. A fact that only Rokhan in The Road knows yet. It seemed like a pretty interesting picture would be produced by using it.

“Chwiik, may the spirit of the warrior be with you.”

It was the greetings of the orc warriors that woke Lokan from laughing like a madman. Even after killing their chieftain, the orc fighters, their attitude towards Rokhan was just polite.

“May the soul of the warrior be with you.”

Rokhan came to his senses and followed their greetings. Some ridiculed this behavior as role-playing, but Lokan knew. It’s difficult to think of The Road as a simple game.

Another world, another reality.

Only by thinking like that and acting like reality was it possible to play smoothly and approach the deeper truth.

Those who treat NPCs or take them lightly have difficulty climbing to high places.

As soon as Berserk’s aftereffects were over, Lokan left the Orc Camp. There are some things that came to mind, but as the plan was revised, there were also things to prepare.

Before that, I had to raise the level a little, and there were things that had to be preempted before it was too late.

After walking for a while, Lokan returned to Cton and checked the status window first.

“Wow, that’s great.”

Lokan had risen 18 levels at a time while catching an orc fighter.

If he had beaten all the orc warriors while he was on the spot, level 30 would have been easier. He was nauseous with regret, but it was unavoidable.

‘Well, one or two battles is enough.’

In fact, this was not enough and it was overflowing. Isn’t it the Lord who is rumored to be difficult to level up?

Of course, this is because it is difficult to catch monsters of the same level as I am not used to combat yet, but considering the current situation where I can hear quite a bit of sound even if I only shoot at level 30, the level up speed of Lokan, who raised it to level 19 in just one battle, is astonishing. it was

But Lokan didn’t mean much. After all, for him, the level in the beginning was something he could raise at any time if he wanted to. Rather, it was important not to go against the arrangement that had been planned.

“Let’s see, I’m level 19 now… … It was close.”

There was a level limit on the quest I was going to proceed immediately after I got the title ‘Caught an Orc Warrior at Level 1′. It was just under level 20.

He almost never even tried to challenge the Orc Fighter at once, so he could not even try, but fortunately, he was not over level 20.

With a sigh of relief, Lokan immediately visited a security post built on one side of the city and received a quest.

[Sewage Cleaning][Quest]

Recently, it is said that the sewers of Kton are infested with rats. Hunt down the rat in the sewer and cut off its tail to prove it, and you will be rewarded accordingly.

– Time limit: none

-Success condition: Obtain the tail of a sewer rat!

-Reward: Sewer Rat Tail × 2 Cooper

‘Happiness is a horn.’

woven Compensation was absurd. It wasn’t that the sewer rat was weak either.

The sewer rat’s large incisors were sharp enough to kill even if they changed jobs until level 5, and the sewage was the place where there were at most 20 or more of these guys.

‘If 20 low-level monsters gather together… … .’ It was difficult to think. Even if twenty animals deal 1 damage each, 20 HP will fly away at a time.

The problem is that they don’t only attack once, and they don’t only deal 1 damage. Even those who were over level 10, it was the sewer here to go to the goal.

‘There will be few people who can deal with the now contaminated rat.’

Moreover, the contaminated rats that appeared deep in the sewer were very picky as they inflicted poison damage.

For nothing, the recommended level of the Kton Sewer was not higher than 15.

The smell was so bad that if you didn’t leave it to ‘wash equipment’, the smell wouldn’t go away for a few days. Considering the small amount of compensation, the navel had no choice but to be bigger than the stomach.

Moreover, the experience was more expensive than the reward, so only a few curious at the beginning tried it, and it was not strange that it was nicknamed the developer’s trap.

Still, the reason Lokan received this quest was simple. It was because this quest would be a clue to a very important scenario quest in the future.

Of course, you don’t have to clear the sewer cleaning quest. However… … .

‘… … Wait, if you don’t do this, you’ll have 10 consecutive quests.’

If it wasn’t for the sewage cleaning quest, he had to perform ten more tedious and painful quests to be able to stand on the same line.

‘But the smell… … No, I can’t help it.’

And there were several other reasons that only Rokhan knew, so Rokhan decided to accept that there was nothing he could do.

“Yeah, go, go.”There were two conditions for entry into the Kton Sewer. Must have received the sewer cleaning quest, and must be level 20 or lower.

If you passed level 20, it was impossible to enter the Kton Sewer even if you had received the sewer cleaning quest in advance.

For that reason, Rokhan prepared everything before entering the sewer. Otherwise, re-entry might not be possible after the first entry.

Once, Lokan sold the ‘Japtem’ obtained by hunting orc warriors and orc fighters. There was only one orc battle ax dropped by an orc warrior and a pair of normal grade boots dropped by an orc fighter.

‘I wish the orc fighter had dropped something more… … .’

It would have been nice if the orc fighter could drop a weapon, but unfortunately, a pair of boots was all it took. It could also be worn, but due to the level limit, the effects of defense and options except for durability were cut in half.

For that reason, the Lokan was only worn for the purpose of blocking the slimy filth of the sewer.

And the rest of the miscellaneous items were sold at the general store and exchanged for money and consumables.

[Retained Amount: 5 Silver 23 Cooper]

The amount obtained in that way was a whopping 5 silvers. In this way, it seemed that all the debt could be paid off in a few days instead of a month. Unfortunately, now is the time to invest.

‘It would be better to get an auxiliary job in advance’

Lokan went to the butcher shop, bought a slaughter knife for 10 coopers, and learned the secondary job ‘slaughterer’.

The butcher’s skill, ‘slaughter’, was to obtain hides or by-products from the corpses of beast-type monsters.

Although the hides of animals or monsters do not give you a lot of money in the beginning, there were many cases where you could get useful materials and additional income by using slaughter while hunting.

So, Lokan chose butcher as one of the secondary jobs that he could learn up to three in total.

In particular, if you raise your slaughter skill, you can also get things like blood or tendons later.

‘It’s a loss if you don’t get the troll’s blood or wyvern skin later.’

Production jobs such as Blacksmith and Beau Craft had to be obtained as a main job, but these primary production skills could be learned as a secondary job.

He filled one more of the remaining secondary job slots.

This time it was ‘First Aid’. First aid was a technique to restore the target’s health by using a ‘bandage’ item. It is difficult to use during battle, but it was one of the essential skills for a good combat job as an alternative to expensive potions during rest.

‘It’s not a well-known secondary job yet.’

There was a reason why it was still not well known to users. This was because of the two biggest problems of first aid: the difficulty in supplying bandages and the insignificant amount of recovery.

But Lokan already knew the solutions.

“Buy fabric, buy scissors.”

Bandages could be made in bulk by purchasing scissors and fabric from a fabric store and then using the scissors items on the fabric one after another.

Since it was possible to make about fifty bandages with one fabric, it was very good in terms of cost-effectiveness.

And the amount of recovery that is insignificant is that it will be resolved by itself as the proficiency increases.

If you want to increase the effect a little more, you can soak the bandage in the potion beforehand.

It might feel like a waste to soak a bandage with a potion that can recover instantly or in a short time, but considering that a bottle of potion can soak up a fairly large amount of bandage, it was not a bad effect.

where is that

If the proficiency of the first aid skill rises, even some poison can be treated with just a bandage. Thanks to this, it would soon become an essential item for a combat job.

[Holding amount: 3 Cooper]

“Whoa, shall we really go now?”

Lokan, who had spent all of his money and bought a bandage, took his heart and entered the Kton Sewer.

If it was Rokhan now, even his sewer rat’s teeth wouldn’t be pierced.

However, in order to overcome that dreadful smell, Rokhan also needed determination.
