    Episode 144

    The fire in the Marchen royal palace did not go out until late at night.

    The royal banquet hall was crowded with many people and at the center of it all was Jeong Hoon.

    “I was worried that you had postponed the banquet so much that you had forgotten.”

    Kaiserk V said with a sad look on his face.

    “sorry. “It’s probably a time when my colleagues are having a hard time.”

    “no. Now I see that the hero of Marchen was a man who even cared for his colleagues.”

    Everyone applauded at Karisserk V’s words.

    It was a banquet attended by nobles.

    “He’s a hero after all!”

    “He’s a man who doesn’t deserve the title of hero at all!”

    “It’s cool!”

    The sight of a stranger chanting in the presence of a king.

    Ha-jin and Kim Bong-gu who were eating food next to each other opened their eyes wide and whispered into each other’s ears.

    “Isn’t this almost a religion?”

    “Oh I thought the same thing.”

    I can hear everything.

    These.

    [Shout louder! He is a hero!]

    ‘hero!’

    Mukho and Anima also seemed to be slightly out of their wits perhaps intoxicated by the atmosphere.

    When Jeong Hoon returned to his seat after drinking and having a brief conversation with Kaiserk V and the nobles Lagan strode forward as if he had been waiting for him.

    “Hun! Please give me a chance to pour my drink into your glass!”

    “I drank a lot… I shouldn’t take it if I don’t right?”

    “What such a sad thing to say! “Are you telling me not to go back and sleep today?!”

    “I don’t think you need to sleep for at least a day.”

    “…I waited. “I’ve been waiting a long time.”

    Lagan looked at Jeonghoon with a pitiful expression like a puppy getting wet in the rain.

    Jeonghoon could only nod his head at those sorrowful eyes.

    “…all right. Please follow me. “But you have to endure until the end.”

    “Hahaha! Of course you should come out like that!”

    When Jeong-hoon gives permission Lagan smiles brightly as if he has never done that before.

    We filled each other’s glasses with alcohol.

    “For the endless glory of the Marchen Knights!”

    That was the beginning of pouring alcohol.

    As Lagan made his first start all the knights came up to Jeonghoon and made a fuss trying to pour him drinks.

    “Tell me a story about what happened inside the gate!”

    “I’m curious about your heroic story!”

    “If you get a chance would you mind taking a look at our swordsmanship?”

    “It’s an honor to share a drink like this!”

    By the time the night of the banquet was ripe.

    “Ugh….”

    “No more….”

    “….”

    Among the knights who poured drinks for Jeong-Hoon none of them were healthy.

    Only then did Jeong-hoon stand up and call Ha-jin and Bong-gu separately to greet them and wipe away their drunkenness.

    “Well did you have fun?”

    “huh. Are you any better than that?”

    “I keep walking and I’m fine.”

    Jeong-Hoon was fine because he continued to blow off his drunkenness with Hae-Joo.

    “Wow… that’s a real monster. Anyway New World is really great. “You can even recreate the feeling of getting drunk.”

    “That’s right. “It felt so real to be really drunk.”

    Kim Bong-gu responded to Ha-jin’s admiration.

    “Anyway I will now tell you why I invited you to the banquet.”

    “reason…?”

    “Wasn’t it just fun…?”

    The two thought it was just a place to have fun and enjoyed it hard.

    Jeonghoon grinned.

    “Enjoy yourselves until today. Instead you guys just need to reach level 201 as quickly as possible starting tomorrow and complete the 3rd job change.”

    “huh? Level 201? 3rd?”

    “yes…?”

    Ha-jin and Kim Bong-gu looked perplexed at the sudden order.

    Jeonghoon said pointing his finger at himself.

    “Look at me.”

    “yes! “I’m looking at you well.”

    Kim Bong-gu answered loudly.

    “…look at the player information before you destroy that brake.”

    “Ah yep…!”

    Only then did the two check Jeonghoon’s player information.

    “What… 203?!”

    “No… How did you reach level 203 in such a short time…?”

    Jeong Hoon was level 203 and had met the requirements for the 3rd job change while Ha Jin and Kim Bong Gu had not yet met the requirements.

    “okay. So raise your level.”

    “I’ll try my best but 201 is a number I won’t be able to hit anytime soon…”

    Even if you kill a monster for 100 days it is difficult to level up by 100. When can you hunt to get 201?

    In response to Ha-jin’s rebuttal Kim Bong-gu internally cheered for him.

    Good job. Good job!

    Please make that viper retract his absurd instructions!

    But Jeonghoon had already calculated that.

    “You know the video that was posted on YouTube while you were getting the Dark Lord?”

    “huh. You know. “Because of that we surpassed 1 million subscribers.”

    Because of that Skyfield became a very hot place.

    Users who visited Marchen headed to Skyfield to hunt the Bone Lord Wyvern and the Pegasus in the stable was said to be on the verge of death.

    Even the ‘Weigang’s Shop’ which sells elixirs of flying skills in Alchemist’s Street was a huge hit.

    “If you hunt the Bone Lord Wyvern you will receive an experience elixir. “Level up with that.”

    “…Hey how do I do that? And that dungeon is bustling with people.”

    “Who wants you two to go alone? “They are recruiting an expedition team so apply there and get in.”

    The hidden class Dark Lord is a unique class.

    And epic level fighting.

    If two people apply the expedition leader will say ‘Oh my! ‘Thank you for coming!’ they will accept.

    “…Do we have to go this far?”

    “Is there a way to level up faster than this?”

    “Okay I understand. “I will upload it as soon as possible.”

    “okay. Only then will we be able to share future content together. “Please do me a favor.”

    “Content… Then there’s nothing we can do. okay!”

    In the end it was Hajin who was persuaded.

    At the same time Kim Bong-gu was frustrated.

    ‘Ah… God…’

    * * *

    The next day.

    Jeonghoon entered the capsule and logged in.

    “Are we going now?”

    As I was getting ready to leave the castle Lagan came to visit me.

    “yes. “I’ve done my business so I should stop ignoring strangers.”

    “What a stranger! You are the hero of this Marchen! From what I heard you had done a lot of good work before coming here. At this level His Majesty may recognize the merit and give him a title.”

    Title.

    Receiving a title means that you will have a personal fiefdom and you will be able to develop that fiefdom and make a profit.

    Among those who were making a lot of money through New World there were those who grew their fiefdoms and made a living with the profits.

    However Jeong Hoon was not interested in the title.

    “it’s okay. “I didn’t ask for that.”

    It is a world where dimensions are connected anyway.

    I didn’t think I would be happy at all just whining in that world.

    “…Huh the hero doesn’t even have greed.”

    Lagan was truly impressed.

    Usually if you perform like that you don’t mind being given a title.

    The nobles will agree because it is a natural treatment for a hero who saved the country.

    Also since Kaiserk V personally granted Marchen a guardian the nobles would not at least try to make a fuss with Jeonghun.

    It would be no exaggeration to say that there was a wide road ahead but Jeong-hoon refused all of it.

    “no. “I also have a lot of greed.”

    When this game becomes a reality develop your strength to end it as quickly as possible.

    Playing a game is such a preparation process.

    So it can be said that he is full of greed in developing strength.

    “Haha a hero who even gives up his title is greedy? “So are we just a bunch of desires?”

    At this point I truly respect Jung Hoon.

    He appears to be weaker than himself on the outside but is actually a hero with great power and he knows how to use that power for the benefit of others.

    “Anyway I’ll just go.”

    Jeong Hoon had an audience with King Kaiserk V and gave his final greetings.

    If I don’t have anything else to do I probably won’t visit again.

    Did you read his mind?

    Kaiserk V opened his mouth with a slightly sad face.

    “I’m just sad to send the hero of Marchen here. I wish he could have stayed a little longer….”

    “sorry. “I have a lot of work to do.”

    “I see. “I can’t stop the hero’s path.”

    Kaiser V snapped his fingers once.

    Then Luke took one of his pockets and held it out to Jeonghoon.

    The pocket contained 500 gold.

    “Your Majesty is this…?”

    “I’ve been thinking about what I can give you but gold is definitely the best.”

    Kaiserk V grinned.

    After all you are someone who knows something.

    The more gold you have the better.

    Jeonghoon also smiled and took his pockets.

    “If I refuse this it would be disrespecting His Majesty’s sincerity right? “I will put it to good use where it is needed.”

    “Thank you. “If you need help come to me anytime.”

    “yes.”

    Jeonghoon left the Marchen Kingdom and headed straight to Mutap.

    This is because the place where the 3rd job change quest was performed was the tower of each job.

    * * *

    Mutapju Kairos was spending his days as usual.

    However he had a new habit which was to raise his energy to the maximum and scan the entire Martial Tower.

    “Not today either.”

    A stranger who left with the promise of returning soon.

    He defeated his own alter ego and received recognition from Siegfried.

    But he did not come only other strangers occasionally visited.

    Of course Kairos did not appear in front of them.

    It was because he wasn’t worth showing off.

    “Whoop!”

    He lifted the iron bar attached to it.

    The path of martial arts is endless.

    Kairos repeatedly lifted and put down the piece of iron.

    Let’s do that for a while.

    Suddenly the metal piece he was holding hit the floor! and put it down.

    “You’re here!”

    The corners of Kairos’ mouth went up.

    This familiar energy.

    He couldn’t possibly not know.

    Because this is the ‘Hun’ recognized by Siegfried.

    “Taplord!”

    When he appeared outside the martial artists walking around the tower all attacked him.

    Kairos roughly accepted the greeting and quickly ran down to where Hoon was.

    And then the long-awaited moment came.

    “Taplord? “It’s been a while.”

    This was because Jeonghoon was looking at himself and smiling.

    “…You’ve gotten a lot stronger.”

    It’s been a while since I last saw Jung Hoon and he looked a little different.

    If you were not qualified in the past would you say you have met those qualifications now?

    “yes. “I came here to do my third job change.”

    Of course it was not top owner Kairos who was in charge of the third job change.

    The person in charge of the stranger’s career change in this tower was an instructor named Lucas.

    ====

    [NPC Information]

    -Nickname: Lucas

    -Level: 250

    -Occupation: Non-top instructor

    ====

    He is an instructor who teaches new students at this tower.

    Originally strangers reached level 201 and came to Lucas to proceed with their third job change.

    But now in Kairos’s eyes Lucas looked completely uneasy.

    How can Lucas guide Hun who defeated him even though he was weakened and recognized by Siegfried?

    “I’ll leave it to you.”

    So it is right for him to lead the way to the 3rd job change.

    “yes? “You mean the tower owner…?”

    “okay. So get out of the way.”

    “Oh I understand.”

    Lucas quietly stepped aside.

    “Hun then follow me. “I will guide you to the location of the 3rd job change exam.”

    With this Kairos took charge of Jeong Hoon’s third job change.

    [What is he interfering with?]

    Mukho blurted out something in an absurd manner.

    ‘I guess he liked me quite a bit.’

    This was the second time in New World history that Kairos appeared in Mtap.

    Originally he should have remained a mysterious figure as he devoted himself to training and never showed his face to users but perhaps thanks to the last incident he appeared again in front of Jeong Hoon who was visiting for his third job change.

    [Can you give me something better?]

    How great it would be if that were the case.

    The appearance of Kairos is due to his selfish interest and Jeong-hoon proceeds with the third job change in the same way whether he guides him or Lucas guides him.

    The third job change location takes place on the 5th floor of Mtap and there was a door similar to the record room on the 6th floor that I visited earlier.

    However since the security was not as tight as the records room the door could only be opened with instructor Lucas’ authority.

    Also in order to go through this door you must be qualified and that qualification is level 201 or higher.

    Slurp-

    The door opened and a small room appeared in front of it.

    “What do you see beyond the door over there?”

    Kairos asked.

    If you are qualified you will be able to see the inside of the room. If you are not qualified you will only see pitch black darkness.

    “There is a monument about the size of a person standing there.”

    “I see. “You may come in.”

    Kairos raised the corners of his mouth and stepped aside.

    It means you are qualified to enter.

    Accordingly Jeonghoon slowly approached the monument beyond the door.

    There was a blinking question mark on top of the tombstone.

    [Job Change Quest: Opening of Power]

    -Restriction: 2nd job change fighter of Lv.201 or higher

    -Reward: Can perform ‘Job Change Quest: Trial (1/2)’.

    -Description: Qualified. The time has come to unleash dormant powers.

    When Jeong-hoon accepted the quest his body was instantly sucked into the tombstone.
