nJinsung ‘forcefully’ convinced Yuhyeon. Next, he got out of the capsule at a record-breaking time:

nthree hours. He then sat at his desk.

nOf course, he wouldn’t sit there to study.

n“Now, let us come up with a plan.”

nHe had made up his mind, so it was time to form a plan.

nThe phrase ‘going with the flow’ didn’t apply to Jinsung’s gaming life. Whatever game he played, he

npreferred to study it and find out the most efficient and optimized way of playing.

n“The first thing I should do… should be gathering information.”

nJinsung turned on his computer.

nThe first thing he looked for were the promotional videos. To be specific, they were the trailer videos

nof the new classes that would be added with the grand update.

nJinsung first played the video of the class Assassin.

n“Um… Just as I thought, this job is the best at hiding… It literally is an Assassin…”

nThe video was well made; however, he didn’t feel very attracted by it.

nFrom the video, he could gather that the Assassin made use of fast movements and sudden attacks

nto increase its damage for a short amount of time.

n‘Wow, the damage of one single blow is really strong. Although it seems to enter a weak phase after

nusing all his skills….”

nJinsung continued to focus on the video.

n‘But why do I not find it appealing?’

nJinsung soon found out the reason, “It’s very similar to the Archer.”

nThe class’ characteristic was based on its speed. So, although its active skills were slightly different,

nits passive and utility skills were too similar to the Archer’s.

nAnd assist skills like setting traps were what Jinsung frequently used while playing as an archer.

n“I’ll pass.”

nHe wanted to experience a totally different class, hence, he excluded the Assassin from his list

nwithout hesitation.

nJinsung clicked the next video right away.

nIt was the promotional video of the Dark Sorcerer.

nHe focused on the video for a while and muttered in low voice.

n“It’s like a Necromancer.” A class that felt like the commander of the undead.

nJinsung used to enjoy playing the Necromancer in a PC game when he was a child and the Dark

nSorcerer had many similarities to the Necromancer class he knew.

nWatching the video of dozens of skeletons fighting under the command of a single user, Jinsung got

nquite interested. It almost felt like watching a party playing.

n“It seems pretty good for a guy like me who prefers to play solo…”

nJinsung pondered on this for a while, however, he then decided to look at the next trailer first. The

nDark Sorcerer looked good for him, however, he still had one more video to watch.

nThe final class was the Summoner.

n“Summoner. Does it summon nature spirits?”

nJinsung’s eyes sparkled as he watched the video.

n“Oh, it doesn’t really summon monsters, it just tames a monster from the field and forms a bond with

nthem.”

nThe user in the video – probably a GM – was taming the Red Wolf. A monster famous for being one of

nthe few unique class monsters in the low-level zone.

n“Is there no limit to the rank of the monster tamed? Can we tame Hero or Legend Rank monsters?”

nIt was only natural for him to ask these questions.

nAs if it heard Jinsung, the subtitle in the video started to explain.

n– Users can tame monsters of all classes. But event monsters that appear during quests and boss

nmonsters that exist inside instant dungeons cannot be tamed.

nAn exclamation came out of his mouth, “Oh…”

n– However, as the level of the class gets higher, the difficulty of taming increases as well. Monsters of

nHero Rank and higher are almost impossible to tame.

nJinsung smiled.

n“Impossible? I would need to drag around a monster of at least Hero Rank to look cool.”

nEvery monster and item in Kailan had a rank.

nStarting with the most common and regular rank, we have: rare, unique, and hero. These were ranks

nof monsters and items that most users knew about. It was said that Legend Rank was at the top.

nEven though few had the chance to see them.

nKailan was a new game, it was released for less than half a year. So, a lot of information was still

nunknown. Jinsung thought that there must be more ranks even higher than Legend.

nThe more he watched, the more he was interested.

nCompared to the Dark Sorcerer and the Assassin, the Summoner fought less brilliantly. However,

nthere was more variety to the type of attacks executed by the Summoner.

nThe best thing about the Summoner is that they could tame a wide range of monsters. Moreover,

nconsidering that even when using the same monsters, their abilities could be different depending on

nhow they were raised.

nAs soon as the video ended, Jinsung clenched his fists.

n“This is it!” Jinsung made up his mind.

nThe Summoner job was perfect for his gaming style.

nThe way Jinsung played games was slightly unusual. He spent timepo choosing his every item and

nskill. In fact, he found pleasure in analyzing all the factors in the game and finding the most efficient

nway to play the game. He did not even neglect the smallest piece of information. Everything would be

nput into his organized notes.

nThis was how he made it to the top of the ranking despite starting to play 2 months late.

nFor example, he once hit a single monster thousands of times to analyze all the potential damage. He

nwanted to get the formula of how attack force and defense force interacted with each other.

nTo Jinsung, the Summoner was a very attractive class.

nHe was already eager to study the countless monsters in Kailan.

nJinsung decided on the summoner and started to find all sorts of information about it on the official

nhomepage.

n“The update is exactly a week away…”

nJinsung carefully thought.

n“Usually it takes 1~2 days to achieve the level necessary to change class. However, since there’s a

ntest and I need time to adapt to the new stat once I reset my character, I’d better spare at least 3

ndays…”

nJinsung was planning to reach Lv.10 before the update and visit class changing NPC as soon as the

nupdate ends.

n“Then it leaves me with 4 days… so, I should do farming like crazy till the weekend for now?”

nA plan was formed.

nHe wouldn’t be able to earn from the game after resetting his character, hence, he needed to earn as

nmuch as he could before that.

nJinsung opened the fridge to eat something and went straight back into his capsule. He needed to

nfarm Gold.

n‘Let’s earn just 5,000,000 before resetting.’

nHe needed every second he had.
