Damn it.

He subconsciously swore out loud.

In conclusion, the job change was a mistake.

Ark disliked hunting in a party. There wasnt a single person he could trust, and their attitudes could change over a single valuable magic item, leading to an argument. He found these sorts of situations repulsive. Rather than suffering from such mess, he was far more comfortable hunting alone, even if it was a little more difficult.

This was the reason why Ark preferred a combat-relation profession.

Thieves who stabs their enemies weak point, or Magicians who boasts of having power to deal a one hit fatal blow werent bad either. However, these professions could only genuinely shine in parties.

On the other hand, although Warriors werent all that special, and didnt particularly have any exceptional skill, they had high Stamina and Defense. That wasnt all they also received bonus bag space and in addition, they had resistance to all sorts of ailments. Thus, it wasnt wrong to say they were professions perfect for soloing.

But the profession Dark Walker was closer to a Thief than a Warrior.

Dark Walker, one who walks the night. He should have guessed when he heard the name.

It was a matter of fact that the profession's bonus stats focused on, Agility, Intelligence, and Luck. But even then, all the additional stats were evenly matched to a Thief's.

No, itd be better to be a regular Thief. If you debate about it, a Thief is a combat-related profession. If you look at the Summoning skill, or the Intelligence stat bonuses, it seems like this profession included a Magicians traits to some degree.

Agility is fine, since it influences critical hits, attack speed, and evasion rate, but Intelligence and Luck? In the end, its unclear whether its a Thief-related or Magician-related profession, or maybe even a Cleric.

Hybrid-characters. They sound good and all, but in reality, it just means they were neither one, nor the other.

With the additional stats totalled to 60, he had gained a bonus amount doubled that of a standard job-change for a normal profession.

There was nothing problematic stat-wise. However, there were a lot of cases where stat bonuses added by a job change influenced the professions ability as a whole. This meant that whether he liked it or not, he would have to diligently raise those three stats

And whose fault is it? The one who jumped the fence after hearing of a hidden profession was me. It was my mistake.

He let out a stifled sigh.

But what could he do about the profession he had already chosen?

Similar to how he was mice hunting in Harun, if Ark focused on one thing, he had the propensity to obstinately dig his heels in. Be as it may, he was quick to give up if he thought he couldnt do anything about the situation.

At this moment, the situation was exactly the same. In any case, he couldnt turn back time even if he regretted it. So he thought he should make the best out of the current mishap to try and understand the Dark Walker profession and its special characteristics, and quickly adapt to it with the best of his abilities.

No, its still a hidden profession. Its because Ive been thinking about being Warrior too much. Its probably not all that bad. If I nurture the professions advantages, Im sure Ill find more good points. Okay, calm down and examine it carefully. First of all, it seems fundamentally similar to a Thief. Summoning is definitely one of this professions unique point. In other words, the professions nature will be decided depending on how Summoning is used, right?

Anyhow, he could summon up to three Demons that he could handle at will.

If I use these guys, wont I be able to hunt solo?

Summon Demon.

Ark welled with expectation and called out the Summon skill, spending the newly formed Spiritual Power points. However, as soon as he examined the Familiar he summoned, the speck of expectation in his heart crumbled to bits.

Wha-what is this. This is?

The summoned Familiar appeared with a blinding flash was just a Skull.

The skull briefly checked its surroundings with eyes of hazy light. It discovered Ark and chattered its teeth together, making a clattering sound.

Ark hastily opened the information window.

Nameless Dead Mans Skull
