Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 22:

 

Chapter 22 – Dual Class

“Huk, huk . Do you think we can rest a little bit, hyung-nim?”

For the most part, Woojin didn’t directly  participate in battle . The Rakwis were considered to be a 3 star monster, because there were a frighteningly a lot of them .

It was so bad that a fight with the Rakwis wasn’t considered to be a fight against a monster .  It was a fight against oneself . Everything ended the moment one became tired .

The Skeleton Soldiers never got tired, and he just had to summon a new one when one was destroyed .
Moreover, the Skeleton Soldiers’ appearance had gone through a change .  The Skeleton Soldier’s Skill Level had risen from 1 to 10 and they had evolved .

The Skeleton Soldier were made out out bones, so its emaciated body looked quite brittle .  However, they now wore shoulder and chest armor .  They also carried a small shield on one hand .
The knives still looked very dull, but it had become larger and more pointy . They also wore a helmet on their heads .

As one uses more of one’s skill, the Skill level increases .  It can also be raised using the help of an item or one could invest one’s bonus point into it .  These were the only methods .

His hunting speed was becoming faster, and he was having an easier time .  The problem was Sunggoo’s stamina .

He was on the bloodstone duty for 3 hours, and he hadn’t been able to take a single break .  Woojin’s hunting speed was so fast that Sunggoo didn’t have time to take a break .  Woojin had run out of spray paint, but it seemed he had learned a Marking magic .  He used it to mark the monsters containing the bloodstones .

He kept showing his admiration as he watched Woojin’s endless versatility .

Eventually, Sunggoo couldn’t help it as his stamina flagged .

“All right . Let’s rest for a moment . ”

Sunggoo let out a groan, and Woojin plopped himself on the floor .  Sunggoo sat next to him, and he took out a bottled water from his bag .  He gave it to Woojin first .

Sunggoo was drenched in sweat and he had a tired expression on his face . However, he still gave Woojin the water first .  Woojin grinned .
“Dude . You are going to live a long life . ”

“What?”

“I like the cut of your jib . ”

Woojin drank a gulp of water then he handed it to Sunggoo .  Sunggoo kept gulping down the water like a man who had come across an oasis in the desert .

“Hyahh . ”

It felt like the water was being absorbed into his bones . Sunggoo’s body shook then he relaxed .

“How much time do we have left?”
“He have 1 hour and 12 minutes . . ”

As time passed, their pace had increased . They had already completed the Dungeon 6 times before 3 hours had passed .

“The adjust amount is… I think it’s over $300,000? We should almost have $400,000?”

The Bloodstones Exchange store took a fixed amount from the final figure to give a fee to the first Roused, who defeated the Dungeon . The association also took a portion, but the rest was automatically deposited into Roused Registration account .

As Woojin looked at the knocked-down Sunggoo, he pondered over an idea .

He would be able to purchase a decent house for Sooah and his mother with $300,000 . Money was basically the means to an end . It was a tool to get what he want, but the money itself wasn’t his goal .

‘I’ll give up on the bloodstones . ’

Woojin stood up from his seat .
Sunggoo followed his example, and he also got up .

“Ooh-ook . ”
“Hey, Sunggoo . ”
“Yes, hyung-nim . ”
“The bloodstone we excavate from now on is all yours . ”
“What?”
“I’ll mark it for you, so do your best in excavating it . ”
“H…hyung-nim?”
“Keep up the good work . ”

Woojin almost ran as he led the Skeletons downstair .

“Well, should I record my lap time?”
“Kekeke . ”

Sunggoo blankly glanced down towards the stairway where Woojin had disappeared to .

“Hy…hyung-nim?”

If he excavated all the bloodstones before Woojin could end his hunt, he would be able to make around $50,000 . He didn’t care about the price of his life right now . The amount of money he was able to make was contingent on how much he moved . He was tired for only a moment .

“Ooh-oh-oh!”

Before the Marking magic could disappear, he hurriedly swung his short sword .
After Sunggoo entered the Dungeon, he started moving like a madman . He tried to close the distance between Woojin, and he excavated the bloodstones from the marked Rakwi’s corpses . He had repeated this action for several hours, so he had already become an expert in cracking open the Rakwi’s head .

However, Woojin’s hunting speed was too fast . Sunggoo was able to clear only one floor before Woojin was coming back up with the Return Stone .

‘Ah ah, my money!’

When he thought about the marked Rakwi corpses below, he wanted to pound against the floor . However, he couldn’t do anything about it . He followed Woojin out of the Dungeon to enter it again .

There was 20 minutes left before his 4 hour of using the Dungeon came to an end . Before Woojin could step on to the last floor, he stopped walking .

<Level up!>
<You have reached level 10 . You class is being sorted . >

Woojin was taken aback . He tilted his head in confusion .

“Class?”

Originally, one would have to choose one’s class at level 10 . He had chosen to become a Necromancer on Planet Alphen . When he was transferred here, he had already chosen the Necromancer class… .

He thought hard as he looked at the window that popped up in front of his eyes .

<You Movement Pattern is being analyzed . >
<Your class is being selected . >
<Magician><Elementalist><Warrior><Priest><Trapper>… .

Woojin frowned when an endless banquet of classes popped up . He had already experienced this when he reached level 10 on the Alphen Planet . The problem was he already had a class .

“Does this mean I can have a Dual Class?”

He thought **** it, but that was only answer that came to him .

<The ‘Warrior’ class was chosen . >
< For class designation reward, you will be given a Warrior’s weapon . >

Woojin let out a sigh .

“Doesn’t this put me in a tough spot?”

His skills and stats were not connected to each other . He had some skills where he needed magic, and some skills required vitality .
Necromancer was a class that specialized in magic and control .
If he had become a Magician then there were a certain amount of overlap in skills . However, when one reaches level 10, one’s class is determined by one’s movement pattern .

If he knew there was a Dual Class, then he would have only used magic from level 1 . He wouldn’t have swung his clawed hammer .

“Well, I can’t do anything about it . ”

He’ll probably run out of stat points, but he had planned on using the bonus points to focus on his Necromancy . The Warrior class was just a throw-in .
He decided to think of it like that .
He’ll just think of his main weapon as back up weapon .

He’ll have to do his best to raise his stat using liquid drugs or magic drugs . As he organized his thoughts, he quickly threw away any regret .

“The reward . ”

Woojin immediately opened his inventory .

He was curious as to what he received as bonus reward when his class was chosen .

The Warrior’s bonus reward was a weapon . He also received a Summoning Demon for when he was a Necromancer, and it was capable of growth .

“Huh? There are two of them?”

<Warrior’s Bonus – Warrior’s Weapon>
<Necromancer’s Bonus – Sealed Demon Stone . >

Woojin grinned .

“Dual class… I guess it isn’t so bad?”

Woojin took out the Warrior’s bonus reward .

Pah-paht .

A blue box appeared . As the light dispersed, a rod was pushed towards him . It was curved like a cane . It looked to be a magician’s staff, but the composition was very different from a normal staff .
“It . . it’s a steel pipe?”

The staff was made out of steel, and it looked like the steel claw hammer . The battles up until now must have influenced its appearance .

<Steel Staff>

A warrior’s weapon was basically one’s best friend, and they are akin to one’s life . The Warrior’s weapon grew alongside the user . It is always with you, and it is always ready to come out at your beck and call .

Effect : Strength +5, Durability Recovery(Dispelled State)
Skill : Summon, Dispel

Woojin held the Steel Staff in one hand, and he thought about dispelling it . As soon as he thought about it, it disappeared .

“Summon . ”

Pa-paht .

It suddenly appeared in mid-air . Woojin grabbed it in his hand, and he had a satisfied smile on his face .

“This isn’t so bad?”

He obtained a weapon he could pull out at any moment, so it was a good thing . Moreover, the weapon was able to evolve . The was an infinite possibility in how it would advance . It also didn’t take up any space in his inventory, so it was great .

Woojin’s heart fluttered a little bit as he took out the Sealed Demon Stone .

“I wonder which **** is in here?”

He didn’t know if he had bee lucky or unlucky on the Planet Alphen . He netted a succubus and she was of no help in battle . Still, he hadn’t been bored since she like to talk a lot .

Pah-paht .

The summoning stone disappeared, and a thick smoke rose up . The smoke coalesced into the shape of a small child .
She was a cute girl with a black one piece dress and she wore a hat with lace hanging off of it .

“Master!”
“Uh uh?”

A small female child suddenly hugged him… . He lifted the small demon off of him .

“You… Bibi?”
“Yes, master . Where have you been?” (TLN: She’s speaking in a very cutesy way . It’ll be lost in translation)

Woojin could only dumbly stare down at his low ranked succubus, Bibi . He crouched to look Bibi in her eyes .

“What? Why did you show up?”

“Heeng . Master unsealed me right now . ”
“Huh huh .

Woojin’s head hurt from his troublesome thoughts . He clutched his head, and he pressed firmly on his temple . Then he asked Bibi a question .

“Did the dimensional travel bring you with me… No, you said you were sealed…”

“I’m so happy I was able to meet master again . Anyways, what is this smell? It smells like Trahnet’s minions… . ”

Bibi pointed towards the Rakwis at the last floor .

“What? Trahnet’s minion?”

Trahnet was the name of the demon, who had invaded the Planet Alphen . Demon wasn’t the right description . He was a calamity .

“They are letting out a similar smell…… . ”

Bibi’s words made his press hands against his temple again .

‘Trahnet’s invasion reached earth? This might be why the Dungeons formed here…… . ’

He had know way of knowing if it was true . He felt a strange sense of danger, and it got on his nerves . He had escaped hell, but the **** was trying come here .

“If it is Jaenis-nim, then he would know . Heh heh . ”
“Jaenis?”

Sage Jaenis .
He was considered to be one of the top mages on the Alphen Planet . After Trahnet invasion, he had turned himself into a Lich .
He had become a Lich, and he existed for 200 years as he lived alongside Alphen’s history .

Amongst the family he commanded, the best was of course the undead magician . Lich .
He never thought he would hear that name again .

“Yes . He was in the Sealed room with me . There was RyongRyong, ShingShing and even Kiba-nim . Also… . ”
“Hey . Wait a moment . What is this Sealed room?”
“I’m not sure . It was like the Summoning room except master’s voice didn’t reach there . ”

The Summoning room was where Woojin’s family gathered before they were summoned . It was like his inventory . It was a type of pocket dimension, and it was his family’s paradise .

“Are you saying everyone is sealed?”

“Yes . I was the very first one to hear master’s voice . ”

Woojin finally understood the situation . His necromancer class had transferred with him .
His entire familiar beings had been sealed until he was able to call on them . He had to be lvl80 to do the Lich Summoning . It seemed the level restriction was the cause of his family being sealed .

‘If Earth has been invaded by Trahnet…’

He understood why the Dungeons had formed here . At the same time, he felt a sense of crisis . It wasn’t the time to leisurely kill the monsters to excavate the bloodstones .

Woojin felt the need to level up faster .

“Hyung-nim!”

He heard a voice from upstairs . He turned to look at Bibi .

“You should go back in . ”
“Hiing . I want to stay by master’s side . ”
“I’ll call you again, so go back in . ”
“I understand . I’ll be able to hear master’s voice inside the Summoning room . ”

Pah-paht .

Bibi turned into a single strand of smoke as she disappeared . At the same time, Sunggoo came running down the stairs .
“Uh? Did you hear a girl’s voice right now, hyung-nim?”
“Uh . I didn’t hear it . ,”
“Uh? Why are you still here?”
“Let’s conclude our hunt today after we take care of the monsters down there . ”

They would barely be able to do one more Dungeon run, but Sunggoo was as exhausted as he could be . So he readily nodded his head

“I understand . ”

Woojin had a complicated expression on his face as he dragged his Skeleton troop down the stairs .
