Three werewolves back away, trembling in fear. Their eyes scan the entirety of the dungeon tunnel, trying to spot what is causing their terror. And, suddenly, they fall in pieces, cut from all sides. In the midst of the blood fountain he just created appears Jin-Woo, canceling his newly acquired Camouflage skill.
"You could've left one for me," I grumble, carefully making my way through the monster corpses to join him.
"Sorry. The next ones will be for you," he promises while Jin-Ho gawks at him, surprised to see him use a skill he didn't know of, "Did you also get new skills?"
I nod, staring at the windows that popped up in front of me after I took care of a werewolf that tried to escape.

The skill I earned from Shin Chun-Hee is great, but I don't use it often, mostly because of the way I gained it. It's also very draining in mana, though my intelligence stat is higher than Jin-Woo's, allowing me to use more mana than him.

This skill will immobilize your opponent after a direct physical contact. 10 mana will be consumed for every second "Immobilize" stays in effect.}
He drinks a mana potion, restoring the mana that he used while using Camouflage. A growl interrupts him. He turns around to see another werewolf attack from behind.
"This one's for you, Hee-Jin," he says, stepping to the side.
I don't waste any time and jump in the wolf's way, using Critical attack to pierce three holes in its chest. I grin, satisfied. As I remembered, this skill is good and, contrary to Immobilize, doesn't require that much mana.

My smile disappears immediately. I know what it is. The job change quest.

"A job change quest?" Jin-Woo reads, peeking over my shoulder.
I close the window and hide my nervosity behind a smile. "If there's a required level, you'll surely get it soon. Let's get going. We'll talk about it when you get it, too."
He nods and walks further into the dungeon, followed by Jin-Ho, who gathers all the essence stones. I stay behind and watch with a tired yawn the player kill off the rest of the monsters. It doesn't last long until he reaches level 40 and gets the job change quest, too.
