Do you know what a hunter fears?
Mighty beasts? Nope.
Dangerous game spots? Not either.
What a hunter fears the most is when there’s no more prey to hunt.
With the progression of human society, laws that govern the protection of animals became tighter than ever. Moreover, most challenging preys are either on the endangered species list or they don’t exist at all. Not that I discourage that notion, it’s just I can’t simply discard our long tradition.
My grandfather is a well-known treasure hunter, my uncle was able to takedown the notorious terrorist group as a lone bounty hunter and my father, as a hunter, was able to kill a great white shark with only a speargun to his hand. But I, as the heir of the family, can’t find any prey to prove myself as a part of the family of the hunters.
I’m already imagining myself as a disgrace to the family and to the future generation.
*sigh*
“rk…”
“Hmmm??”
“Ark!! Why are spacing out in my class?! Go and answer the question on the board!”
“Yes, Ma’am!!!” I yelped.
“Hey, why were you spacing out earlier? I don’t ever remember you doing like that in class.” (???)
“I was just thinking of something.” (Ark)
“Oh. Oh. Oh. Let me guess. You were dumped by girl right? Why don’t I give you an advice on how to get girls easily. Hm? Hm? Hmmm??” (???)
“Oh, shut up Mathias. I’m not like you. And I’m not dumped by a girl. Beside I’m too shy to even talk to them?!” (Ark)
*sigh*
By the way, the one I’m talking is Mathias. Son of the richest man in the country, a varsity player and a handsome guy. To make things short, an enemy of all common male students.
Now I’m contemplating. How the hell did I befriend this guy?
“Hey, you’re spacing out again.”
“I’m just trying to remember how the heck we became friends.”
“Oi!!”
“Just kidding.” Nope, I’m not kidding I can’t really remember.
“What did you say again?”
“I was talking about the famous game our whole class was talking about.”

Oh, if I remember it was named “Thrill Online”. It’s been to 2 years since it first released in the public.
“What about that?”
“I was going to invite you to play with me this weekend.”
“Ah, I don’t think I can go. Besides, I don’t have a VR Machine Capsule.”
“I know you would bring this up. I already figure that problem out.”
“What? Are giving me a VR Machine Capsule? Not a c-“
“So, I’m giving you VR Machine Capsule. I already mailed to your address earlier.”
I know you are my friend (though I don’t know how) and you’re rich but please to don’t spend money like that. It gives me a headache very time you do this so easily. *sigh*
“Did your father give you the permission to do this? As far as I remember, it is YOUR FATHER’s MONEY!!”
“Nah, it’s okay. He was the one who told me to give it to you.”
AHHHHHH!!!! My mind is screaming. How can these two spend money like water? Oh, I remember now how I met this guy and befriend him.
It was when I was hunting at the mountains that I encounter Mathias and his father. They were isolated from the group of hiker due to a landslide. Thankfully, I was able to guide them out the mountains after 4 days.
“So you did forgot didn’t you.”
“Teehee”
“Don’t “Teehee” me?! Come back here you bastard?!”
And soon as I arrive at home…
“Ark! There is a delivery for you and its from your friend. I already open it up and fix it for you.”
I don’t really know if my Mom knows the word privacy but-
“Thanks Mom!!!”
I hurriedly go upstairs to try the game. I may not look like it but I’m a gamer. Well, it is my substitute hunting ground since there are no more in the real world.
I started the machine and then magic happens…
Nah, just joking. I dive in the machine and started the program.
[System requires you to scan your body]
[Yes/No]
“I select [Yes]”
[Scanning Complete]
[The System requires you to set your username]
“My username will be [Venri].”
[Venri has been selected as your username]
[Now select your desired job class]
Which will I get? Maybe I should check on the selection so I would not regret my choice later on.
Job Class: Squire
Job Description:
A job class precursor to melee combatant classes.
Have high starting points on STR and STA while having low on INT and MND.
Weapon Proficiency:
Sword, Spear, Cudgel and Shield
Hmmm… Squires would be good choice for most new players but I don’t think my play style would coincide with it. Moreover, I don’t like confronting enemies upfront.
Let’s proceed.
Job Class: Scholar
Job Description:
A job class precursor to magic and production based classes.
Have high starting points on MND, DEX and INT while having low on STR and SPD.
Weapon Proficiency:
Staff and Wand
Job Class: Devotee
Job Description:
A job class precursor to holy based classes.
Have high starting points on MND, STA and INT while having mediocre point on SPD, STR and DEX.
Weapon Proficiency:
Staff, Wand, Cudgel and Shield
Scholar and Devotee. Scholar job class maybe a good choice but the Devotee job class is bit of a bad on me since I play solo and doesn’t really know how to support others which may be the class’s good point.
And lastly,
Job Class: Pathfinder
Job Description:
A job class precursor to ranged and speed type classes.
Have high starting points on SPD and DEX while having low on other attributes.
Weapon Proficiency:
Bow, Dagger, Sword and Staff
Pathfinder job class is also a good choice for me even it’s a bit low on attributes except [SPD] and [DEX].
Ok, I’ve decided to pick.
“I select [Pathfinder].”
