Chapter 1 – Part 1 Hunter – Separation (1)

“Then click the OK button there.”

As the beautiful priest ordered, I pressed the OK button, and a sparkling effect appeared around my body. And the same light was spinning around the bodies of the other three people who came with them.

Eventually, when the light fades, the job that suits you is…
…Ek.
Isn’t something wrong with this?

“Ah. I’m a swordsman. Just as Yuzu said!”
“I am a priest.”
“I’m a wizard. I think we’re quite balanced, right?”

Ray was a swordsman, Jin was a priest, and Kun was a wizard.
Kun is a wizard… I was aiming too.
I am, after all, an archer. ‘Please avoid this!’ Got caught up in a job

“Is Yuzu… An archer?”
“Oh, yes.”

Did you read the results from my expression? For some reason, I nodded my head shyly to Ray, who asked cautiously.

“Ah! If it’s an archer, that’s it, right? What a job…”
“Kun!”

Ray interrupted Kun’s words.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”
“No, it’s okay. It’s a known fact that archers aren’t very good. Haha.”

I answered as if nothing happened to Kun, who was shy, but deep inside I was confused.

Hunter’s 5 basic jobs: swordsman, archer, cleric, wizard, and thief.
Among them, the archer is the most difficult job to raise in the beginning and is considered a representative nuisance job.

It is evaluated as a powerful dealer once the equipment is equipped, but that is a story only when it is finally completed.
Archers always have arrows ready, so the inventory pressure is severe. Therefore, it is difficult to have a lot of equipment, and stockpiling of potions is also limited. If an arrow runs out during a party hunt, there are times when you can’t do anything and just follow the party, or the whole party has to return for supplies.

In addition, since it costs money to buy arrows, there is a terrifying penalty that the money is cut every time you hit a flat hit. It would be natural for it to be the number one job that is shunned by hunter aspirants.
I also wanted to become a swordsman or a wizard, but to be honest, I had a stronger idea of ​​avoiding archers.
But he’s an archer…

“It’s okay, Yuzu. We’ll help you!”
“Yes. If only one Yuzu out of the four loses, then something will happen.”
“Haha, haha…”

Ray and Jin cheered me on, but I wasn’t very happy. Rather, every time I listened to it, it seemed that my mentality was being cut.

“Everyone, have you completed your job selection? Next, let’s try ‘Equipment Summon’.”
“Yes~!”

The priest who was conducting the tutorial proceeded with the story regardless of the atmosphere on our side. And there, three people except me answered amicably. I couldn’t answer that brightly because I was nervous.
Why do you use the word ‘choice of a job’ when it’s impossible to choose the job you want in the first place? Who are you kidding? And on what basis are you giving the job?

The moment a citizen registers as a hunter in the temple, that hunter receives protection from his or her own player (god). Receive the ability and job to fight monsters, and even if you die in the process, you will be resurrected in the temple. It is said that sometimes players receive special rewards.

But that doesn’t mean there are only good points.
Players are capricious, so Hunters can be destroyed overnight regardless of whether they are active or not. Besides, each player has a different disposition, so it’s a big point that we can’t know what they like and what they don’t like. You don’t know when and how your life will be erased by touching your planting.

But even so, becoming a Hunter is because there is a romance there.

Battle with mighty monsters. Friendship with colleagues. And great rewards!
As long as you succeed as a hunter, you can gain wealth and honor that can not be obtained as a normal farmer in your lifetime. This is why young people like us become hunters aiming for a quick fortune.
I’m a bit creaky from the start, but… Heck… I’ve never held an arrow before…

“Click the shiny ‘Summon Equipment’ button at the bottom right of the menu.”

Regardless of my anguish, the priest proceeds with the tutorial. As the priest said, the ‘Equipment Summon’ button, which was inactive until a while ago, was activated in the menu.

If you press the button as instructed, you will receive a sparkling effect along with the ‘Initial Limited 11 Free Summon!’ ‘More than 1 SR confirmed!’ The same letters appeared splendidly.

“If you download a job, you can summon equipment for the first 11 times for free. The equipment grade from equipment summoning ranges from minimum R to highest SSR. You can check the appearance probability by grade by pressing the ? (Help) button. After the first draw 300 runestones are required for summoning equipment for 1 summon, and 3000 for 11 consecutive summons. Since 11 consecutive summons are beneficial and guarantee at least 1 SR equipment, it would be better to collect them and draw 11 times, right? “

I honestly don’t know what to say. While listening to the priest’s words in one ear, I pressed the help button and checked the probability of equipment appearing.

80% R grade, 19% SR grade, 1% SSR grade.
40% weapons, 40% armor, 10% accessories, 10% accessories.

It was also subdivided from there, and the equipment that could be worn for each of the five occupations was divided.

…Isn’t this, by any chance, extremely low?

If you do a quick calculation in your head, the probability of drawing an SSR-class archer weapon is 0.08%. Does it mean that you have to draw 1250 times to get one? Wouldn’t it be virtually impossible to draw your own SSR grade weapon in this 11th draw?

“Priestess, if I pick up equipment that is not my job, can I exchange it?”

I carefully raised my hand and asked a question.
The priest shook his head as if it was nothing.

“Unfortunately, summoned equipment cannot be transferred or sold to others. Summoned equipment exists only in the inventory and cannot be used by anyone other than the summoner himself.”
“Then what about the spare equipment?”
“You can find out by summoning it first, right? If there are no other questions, I’ll try summoning you right away.”

The priest cut off my question with a very annoying face and urged the next step. Feel free to ask any questions…

“It’s thrilling~.”
“Please come out of the SSR!”

“…”

The other three are each praying, but the one who is really desperate is probably me. Since I was at a loss in my job, I had to at least pick up my equipment well.
I swallowed dry saliva and pressed the summon button.

Spectacular effects that make you dizzy fill the screen.
And on the interface where the effect disappeared, 11 boxes were lined up side by side.

10 silver treasure chests and 1 gold treasure chest.
Could this be… 1 SR for 10 R’s?
With an ominous feeling, I pressed the ‘open all’ button.

R cowhide gloves
R Iron Shield
R Lapis Lazuli Bracelet
R iron rod
R steel bayonet
R wool pants
R Iron Shield
R Lapis Lazuli Necklace
R steel dagger
R Iron Armor
SR Flame Witch’s Staff

Oh Also…
Didn’t you pull out the SSR? I didn’t expect much, but… No, actually, I expected a little bit… But since it’s already come out like this, I can’t help but lament it.

Besides, I don’t even have a bow, which is my job weapon. The only armor that can be worn is cowhide gloves. It’s fortunate that the bracelet and necklace came out, but…

“Whoa! Something’s up!”
“Me too! They flashed so much that a rainbow-colored box came out!”

I heard the cheers of Kun and Ray in my ears.
A rainbow box? Didn’t I come up with something like that?

Does that mean that the rainbow colored box is an SSR grade equipment box? Rei and Kundo drew 1% SSR equipment in only 11 draws?

Ha… Is that what you mean? To break through that low probability. But isn’t there a law that says it’s a piece of equipment that you can wear?
Even if a weapon comes out, the probability that it is your class weapon is 1/5, and even if armor comes out, the probability that it is wearable armor is 1/3.

But today, none of my expectations were right.

“It’s an SSR-class weapon, it’s called Starlight Saber. Fortunately, it seems like a weapon that fits the job.”
“I’m an angel’s necklace. I can wear it too.”

Rei’s sword, Kun’s necklace.
I never thought they would pull out SSR equipment that can be worn by both…

Your job’s SSR weapon is 1/1250, right? You said you pulled it in 11 draws? I only got garbage

Haa… The relative deprivation makes me weak.
And at the same time, a sense of self-doubt came over him at his petty thoughts.

…I didn’t want my friends to pick up just because my equipment drawing was poor? I’m ruined, so let’s ruin them too?
Pathetic. That I was such a narrow-minded bastard?

“Oh, congratulations to both of you. Ray-sama has chosen the Starlight series that is currently being picked up. The Starlight Saber is evaluated as the best option weapon out of all the swordsman weapons that have been released so far, so you won’t have to worry about weapons in the future. Angel’s The necklace reduces MP consumption by 25%, and it is the dream equipment that all classes want. If you are a wizard whose MP is firepower, you can use it even more usefully.”

Haha. What. You both picked out great things.

“Congratulations, Ray, Kuhn.”
“Heh heh. Thanks, Jin. How is Jin?”
“It’s okay. SSR didn’t come out, but three SRs came out.”
“Oh, you picked the gin well.”
“Ah~ but I also wanted to pull out the SSR~”
“If you pull it forward, it will come out. Let’s go slowly without rushing.”

While Jin and Kun were chatting, Ray turned to me.

“Hey, how is Yuzu?”

Ray asked cautiously for some reason. Maybe the result is already on my face.

“Boom, boom. There is no archer weapon, and the only armor that can be worn is R-grade gloves. Are the least R-grade necklaces and bracelets obtained?”

I shrugged my shoulders and answered as lightly as possible.

“Haha! He’s an archer but he doesn’t have a bow! It’s so funny, Yuzu! An archer without a bow! Are you an archer with your bare hands!? Ahaha!”

Kun laughs as he pats me on the shoulder. Ray and Jin are also laughing bitterly.
Kun is also not usually this light-hearted. Rather, he is timid and introverted, so should I say that he is the type of person who will try to hide behind him in the first place. He must have pulled out a good item and was in a HIGH state with adrenaline secreted.

It’s not cool to pour cold water on Kun like that. Laughing and moving on would be an adult response here.
But now I’m not very mature.

“What’s so funny?”

I shook off Kun’s hand that was tapping on his shoulder.
My voice was much lower than I thought.
Except for me, the three people were looking at me with stunned expressions.

“What is it, Yuzu?

Kun’s attitude was still light when he said that, and the smile on his lips was enough to upset my stomach.

“Ah~ I’m sorry. But what is it, who decided to go without holding back no matter what the outcome? Is that Yuzu who said that?”

Yes. I said so.
Even if one of us draws a bad result, or if someone draws a good result, accept it no matter what the result comes out and let the four of us do it together.

However, if I were the opposite of Kun, I would never have done anything to disrespect Kun. I know how much everyone has been looking forward to this once-in-a-lifetime event. I would have naturally induced the atmosphere so that no one would get hurt.

However, Kun attacked me regardless.

“I mean Yuzu, you’ve always been nagging while pretending to be the leader, right? Did you think that if someone pulled a jackpot today, Yuzu would step in and clean it up? Isn’t that right? Yuzu, they say you’re arrogant when you see something like that. Seeing that proud attitude makes you hot!”

If I am hurt by Kuhn’s words, is it because there is a point in his words?
Yes. I never thought that I would fail. Obviously, I expected to receive good equipment for a good job.

But is it wrong to hope for good results? And, as he said, if one of the four of us gets a bad result, I will support him as much as possible and if I get a good result, I want to take care of myself so that I don’t feel strangely conscious. Is that a bad idea? Is it worthy of criticism?

Absurdity. Anger. Heaviness. Resentment. Bad feelings mix inside me.
I clenched my fist. And I wanted to swing it right in the face of my childhood friend who was laughing at me. Kun was also looking this way without averting his eyes, as if telling him to do it if he could.

“Kun! Yuzu! Stop!”

Ray came in between me and Kun.

“Kun, stop talking nonsense. Yuzu, you know Kun doesn’t mean it too, right? It’s out of excitement, so you understand. Huh?”
“Well, I was mean, Yuzu. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it, so please understand.”

Kun apologized lightly, as if chasing away annoying flies.

Is that the attitude of an apologetic person?
His anger soared even more, but he was unable to push and attack Ray who was blocking his way.
All I have left is a lump in my chest and a heap of trash-like equipment.
Damn it.

“Everyone. When the story is over, would you like to leave? The temple is not empty after all.”
“I’m sorry, priest. Right now…Ah.”

Ray was taken aback by the priest’s stern tone, and answered blankly, blankly looking into the air as if he had seen something he would not have seen.

“Some strange pop-up window… 9,900 won per month? Has the payment been successful?”

“Ohhh! The monthly fee! What a noble thing this is!”

The priest, who had heard Ray’s dumb talk, suddenly approached with an excited voice and grabbed Ray’s hand.
All of our party members, including myself, watched in bewilderment at the priest’s sudden change of expression, which seemed to have been troublesome and only showed a businesslike attitude.
