Job Change

Three days have gone by since I entered the Western Woods and I continue to dive deeper into the forest.

I take occasional rests in the [tent] I took out from Dimensional Storage, which interestingly when I am inside it, the monsters do not approach. This was also its effect in the game. The inside of the tent is about 10-tatami-mat space occupied with only a bed and a sofa.

My hunt so far has been pumped up with the vigour of a haijin gamer like that of my MMO days. But as expected, this is reality and I have to sleep in order to recuperate from the mental and physical fatigue.
For my meals I feast on skewers, which I had bought a ton of for this request.

As per the other requests from the bulletin board, orcs are not the only monsters here, and I have defeated an assortment of them using my Buster Sword. My two-handed Buster Sword is the best when it comes to crushing and burying any monster that appears.

From ogres to forest bears to forest wolves, I crush them all.

All the defeated monsters go into Dimensional Storage with ease. With the load of monster bodies thrown into it, the Dimensional Storage however is nowhere near full and its weight has not given me a problem.

The blood although dulls the sword, it is easy to clean up with Dimensional Storage by putting the sword back into it and pulling it out again. The robe too can be freed from the stench and grease of the monster blood the same way.

Feeling burned out, I opened my Status to check for change in my level.

I finally did it. I finally made it level 99.

The real target is level 100, and it’s incredibly close. When I reach it I should be able to change jobs.

The cheat ring has been a major assist in my levelling up, for every monster kill I get 100 times the experience.

Seeing my goal so close in sight, I feel even more motivated. I picked up my sword and cut down further monsters that were unfortunate to cross my path. I won’t stop till I get to level 100!

And it came to pass, after much monster butchering; I finally reached it – level 100.

I felt the odd yet natural sensation of my whole body pulsing with energy when I killed the last ogre.

I hurriedly put the monster away in Dimensional Storage and opened my Status with high anticipation.

The screen I have been waiting for. This is the one.
「At long last…. At long last, I can become a Berserker!! I did it — !! 」

The [Yes] button seemed more distinct than any other thing written on the screen and I tapped on it boldly.
◇――――――――――――――――――――◇
[Job change to]

Mage
High Recovery Priest
◇――――――――――――――――――――◇
「Eh….. Noooo……. 」

The only thing here I will not argue is the primary job of [Mage].
What is wrong is the secondary job of [High Recovery Priest].
My knees gave out and I dropped to the ground.
「Seriously…..Only magic jobs….. 」

Feeling depressed I decided to stop hunting earlier than usual and retreated to my tent. It’s either I choose to change to a Mage or I do not, but if I choose not to, I will not be able to level up further as a Recovery Priest. This is because the level limit for any job is 100.

「What should I do…… The only magic I can use is Recovery Magic…… Should I choose the secondary job then…… Or should I try being a Mage for a change?」

I sat down crossed-legged in the tent and pondered on what to do next.
「It doesn’t matter what job I have, as long as I can use my sword, it’s all the same, isn’t it..…. 」

I caught myself laughing and opened my Status and selected my new job. I got up, put on my robe and exited the tent holding onto my Buster Sword, and began to wander the forest in search of my next monster to pulverize.
