[Possible Class List for Overgeared Skeleton Two]
[1 . Restorer Skeleton Miner .
2 . Restorer Skeleton Clown .
3 . Restorer Skeleton Dancer .
4 . Restorer Skeleton Mage .
Details: (Increased proficiency in magic)
5 . Restorer Skeleton Dancing Smith . ]
Were the details right?
“ . . . ” Grid’s silence lasted a long while . He couldn’t accept the second class list of the Overgeared Skeletons in front of him . Was this a dream or reality? The boundaries were ambiguous and difficult to distinguish . Grid was blank like he had a lock on his mind, only to belatedly regain his spirit . He tried to analyze the cause of this absurdity .
‘I made the Overgeared Skeletons mine several times . ’
In Grid’s memories, he had only occasionally used the Overgeared Skeletons for mining when he was lacking labor . The number of times was small enough to be counted on one hand . Following the first advancement class list, he couldn’t believe there was a miner option in the second advancement class list .
. . . This was naturally Grid’s subjective memory . At one time, the Overgeared Skeletons were forced to go mining when they were summoned . In particular, it had happened when their levels were low and they were too weak to be useful for hunting .
‘Cough . . . Yes . Let’s say they acquired the mining skill because I made them mine 100 times . And the clown and dancer options are due to their basic habits of laughing and dancing . ’
Yes, the causes of these three classes were understandable . It was encouraging that the classes of swordsman and mage had also opened . Overgeared Skeleton One watched Grid’s swordsmanship and Overgeared Skeleton Two watched Grid’s magic, leaving room for increased strength .
“It’s fine . It’s fine . . . ”
. . . By the way, what was a dancing blacksmith? He couldn’t comprehend this even if he conceded 100 times . It was purely absurd .
“Did you dance while I was doing blacksmithing? Eh? How can I believe this?”
It was natural for the Overgeared Skeletons to open the blacksmithing path . Their master was a blacksmith and they had observed him working many times . However, it wasn’t just a blacksmith . It was a blacksmith with the word ‘dancing’ attached . . . ?
‘I wouldn’t worry if it was dancing swordsman or dancing mage . ’
That’s right . The modifier being attached wasn’t the problem . Rather, it was good . The problem was that the attached position was wrong .
‘I want the proper combat power for the second class but . . . ’
Grid originally wanted to pick the swordsman and mage for the Overgeared Skeletons . Unfortunately, Grid was well aware of the power of a modifier . The more modifiers an item had, the more powerful and useful it was . A dancing smith was likely to be a class with high potential . Of course, the combat power was low .
‘Giving up the class with a modifier for the ordinary swordsman and magician might give me a feeling of loss . . . ’
Grid was struggling with this and asked Braham, “Braham, what do you think?”
He didn’t expect to get an answer though . Braham’s soul was in a very weak state, so he was sleeping almost all the time . Grid thought he would be asleep once again, but Braham woke up at the right time .
-It is better to make them a dancing smith .
Braham’s reasoning made sense .
-The first classes of destroyer and restorer are applied as modifiers to the second advancement . It will be the same with the third advancement . As you know, the concept of modifiers is absolute . The more modifiers there are, the higher the ‘status’ will be . The merits of the class called dancing smith might be small right now, but if you think about the future, it is wiser to choose a class with many modifiers .
Was it because they were the heritage of Shizo Beriache…? Braham was showed great interest in the Overgeared Skeletons . He actively advised Grid and was a big help to him .
“Okay . . . I will do so . ”
This was an investment for the future . It was in order to make the Overgeared Skeletons have the modifiers of ‘destroyer’, ‘restorer’, ‘dancing’, and ‘blacksmith’ attached to the third advancement classes . Grid nodded and made a decision . “It might feel like a loss right now, but it can’t be helped . You will both become dancing smiths . ”
Kyaak! Kya kya kyak!
The Overgeared Skeletons were pleased with Grid’s choice . They laughed and started to dance lightly .
[You have selected the ‘dancing smith’ class for Overgeared Skeleton One . Is this correct?]
“Co . . . rrect . ”
[You have selected the ‘dancing smith’ class for Overgeared Skeleton Two . Is this correct?]
“That’s right . . . ”
Flash!
Grid didn’t change his decision, and a golden glow appeared around the bodies of the Overgeared Skeletons who were absorbed in their dancing . Meanwhile, Grid felt a bit regretful . He was gloomy because they were now two dancing smiths who would be of no use in combat .
‘Sigh . I need to raise them to level 300 as soon as possible . ’
The reason for the slow leveling of the Overgeared Skeletons was because the level difference with Grid was too large . The penalty meant that the Overgeared Skeletons received lesser experience points . However, as the level gap gradually narrowed, the level-up speed of the Overgeared Skeletons would accelerate .
[The second class advancements of Overgeared Skeleton One and Overgeared Skeleton Two have been completed!]
[The class compensation effect has increased Overgeared Skeleton One’s strength and stamina by 50 . There is an additional 20,000 increase in health . ]
[The class compensation effect has increased Overgeared Skeleton Two’s intelligence and stamina by 50 . There is an additional 15,000 increase in health and 5,000 increase in mana . ]
[The appearances of Overgeared Skeletons One and Two have changed!]
[The information on Overgeared Skeletons One and Two will be updated!]
“Ohhh!”
Once the class advancement was completed, the golden glow was absorbed by the Overgeared Skeletons . The Overgeared Skeletons now turned into shiny golden chibi skeletons instead of just chibi skeletons . If the previous Overgeared Skeletons were like chewed bones left behind by a dog, the current Overgeared Skeletons were fine skeletons made of gold .
However, their eyes were still the same . The ⌓ ⌓ shaped eyes were still naughty .
‘ . . . I can’t see it . ’
It was subtle .
‘Well . . . it’s fine since they’re cute . ’
Grid opened the Overgeared Skeletons’ information .

[Dancing Lv . 1]

[Omitted . ]
The Overgeared Skeletons gained six stat points every time they leveled up . Given that level 1 had a basic 10 points for each stat and players gained a 20 point bonus for their first level, the total value of the level 200 Overgeared Skeletons’ stats should be 1,224 . However, the Overgeared Skeletons had a stats increase due to the second class advancement bonus, the bone strengthening effect, and the various ‘usable items’ made by Grid .
The total number of stat points was nearly 2,000, which was comparable to that of ordinary level 200 players . It was almost miraculous considering the Overgeared Skeletons were less powerful than players . They literally resembled their master by possessing fraudulent stats . Still, that wasn’t the important issue right now .
“This . . . ”
In fact, Grid had great expectations for the potential of the Overgeared Skeletons until their first class advancement . He had imagined that Overgeared Skeleton One would cause massive explosions to crush the bones of opponents while Overgeared Skeleton Two would use wide-area heals . The result was disappointing because they were terrible, unlike his imagination . The reality was that Overgeared Skeleton One could blow up the item while Overgeared Skeleton Two could reset the process . . .
‘Something garbage like this . . . ’
Grid was forced to bind all his hopes onto the third advancement . The Overgeared Skeletons would have the modifiers of ‘destroyer (restorer) dancing blacksmith’ skeleton . He could still hope for a combat class for the third advancement . Then Braham’s voice entered the ears of the frustrated Grid, -Maybe it is because you are an idiot, but your imagination is poor . Sharing your thoughts are a pain . If this continues, my soul is likely to burst to death before it can recover .
“ . . . ?”
How could he be blamed when Braham was going to die anyway? Grid frowned while Braham scoffed .
-Stupid guy . You should be focusing on the provocation skill, not the blacksmithing . One has a wide-range provocation and damage ability while the other can launch an infinite provocation ability . What the hell are you regretting?
“ . . . Ah!”
The Dancing skill didn’t specify the ‘category’ of the enemy . It was even a wide-area skill .
On the other hand, the Bloody Smell option of Malacus’ Cloak didn’t apply to creatures whose sense of smell had deteriorated like the undead . Additionally, Malacus’ Cloak was very dangerous because Grid himself attracted the aggro . However, the Overgeared Skeletons were summons who didn’t receive a penalty from dying .
‘This isn’t trash . ’
Possibilities started to unfold in front of Grid . He anticipated that the Overgeared Skeletons’ third and fourth advancements would come faster than he had thought .

“ . . . ”
The defense of the evil eyes village had ended .
A month had passed, but Peak Sword’s condition was still the worst . He felt uncomfortable and unmotivated . It was hard for him to concentrate on hunting, so even Vantner was worried about him .
“Are you still thinking about that knight?”
The knight whom Vantner mentioned was the leader of the Blue Flames Knights of the Gauss Kingdom . He was a young knight named Apollo . Peak Sword was traumatised from killing him . It was because Peak Sword saw himself in Apollo’s image of fighting for his kingdom . A lonely struggle was the fate of a weak nation .
To be honest, Peak Sword hadn’t wanted to kill him . However, he had to fight for the sake of the evil eyes . It was a fair fight, and he had to knock down the enemy . The only thing he regretted now was deceiving the other party who had fought to the end for his kingdom .
Yes, Peak Sword knew all of this . Yet he still felt regretful when the face of the young knight came up .
“ . . . He had only one life . ”
Satisfy was only a game to players, but it was reality for NPCs . They couldn’t revive .
“Of course, I will kill him if the same thing happens again . I just regret that I didn’t say a word to him before he died . He was too strong . ”
“Then from now on, say goodbye before killing them . ”
“ . . . Eh?”
“Say goodbye and kill . Isn’t that enough?”
“ . . . ”
“We’re going to be fighting NPCs . It was a planned future from the moment Grid set up his kingdom . Some of the enemies you will encounter will certainly be good people, and you’ll have to kill them . What if you have a mental breakdown every time? Your mind will soon become exhausted . Will you quit the game?”
“Kuk . . . Yes, my resolve was lacking . I was too short-sighted . I’ll have to greet the enemy in advance before fighting . ”
“Good . That’s the right thing to do . Greet and kill them . ”
“Hut . . . Yes . ”
“ . . . ”
The two men clasped hands . Their conversation content was obviously missing the main point . The listening Overgeared members thought it was so absurd that they clicked their tongues . It was at this moment .
&Zednos: An explosion has occurred in the southern market .
The guild members who were in Reinhardt were talking to each other in the guild chat .
&Ibellin: What happened?
&Zednos: Agnus is visiting . Maybe he is making a commotion .
&Toon: Agnus is here? Why? Isn’t this crazy?
&Jishuka: Yes! He’s a crazy guy~
&Ibellin: (/-_-) I’m nearby, so I’ll be right there .
‘Agnus?’
In the Galgunos Temple, Bullet’s face hardened as he placed pressure on the war god followers with his undead and jiangshi . Agnus was obviously crazy, but he wasn’t a loose cannon . If a crisis that couldn’t be overcome arrived, he would enjoy the situation but always try to avoid the worst situation . Yet he was visiting the capital of the Overgeared Kingdom where they were obviously enemies . . . ? Agnus wouldn’t have intended to cause a disturbance .
‘He seems to be having a hard time these days . . . Maybe he came here because he wanted to rely on me?’
‘Damn . ’ Bullet couldn’t even send Agnus a whisper because Agnus was removed from his friends list . He couldn’t concentrate on the battle . Bullet worried about it before recalling the undead and jiangshi to his side .
“Eh? What happened?” The Overgeared members, who were hunting with him, asked .
Bullet scratched his head . “I’m sorry but I want to take a break . I’ve been hunting for too long . ”
“Are you sleeping at that level?”
“ . . . You have dropped from second in the necromancer rankings . ”
It took a surprisingly long amount of time to produce the jiangshi, causing him to drop to fourth place . Nevertheless, Bullet was still a high ranker who was far above the average level of the Overgeared members . This was because the necromancer class was optimized for hunting .
“That was the past . You have to restore your ranking . ”
“Today isn’t the only day . I’ll work hard next time . Then I’m going . ” Bullet didn’t say anything else and used a return scroll .
He left to help his old idol, feeling grateful and sorry toward the Overgeared members who hadn’t done anything but treat him as an old friend . Still, once he gave his heart, he would never betray or easily abandon the person . This was the man called Bullet .
