The World of SENSES: An Introvert's Journey as the Helper Begins.

Chapter 6

The soldiers, led by Ryu, emerged from the depths of the cave, their armor clinking softly in the cool evening air. They were met by another group of soldiers standing guard at the cavern's mouth, their faces etched with relief and fatigue. Among them stood Mayor Glav, a stalwart figure radiating authority, his presence bolstered by the soldiers he had brought along. The air was tense, and an undercurrent of urgency whipped through their ranks.

Suddenly, a deep rumbling echoed from within the cave, vibrating through the ground beneath their feet.

"Those injured, return to the city immediately," Major Glav commanded, his voice decisive. "Alert the barracks to prepare for further instructions. The rest, follow me!"

Without hesitation, Glav led the unwounded soldiers back into the cave, determination tightening his features like a drawn bow.

Meanwhile In the hall where Varulv the dark werewolf resides, Clark and Captain Ai fell silent when they saw the cave starting to collapse. After the cave no longer collapsed Clark got up with difficulty and ran towards Captain Ai. Clark shouted while pulling Captain Ai. "Captain Ai, we've got to get out of here! This cave is going to collapse!"

Captain Ai stood frozen for a moment before Clark tugged her along. Gritting her teeth with determination, she called out, "Kin! We'll come back for you!"

"Boom." Stones collapsed. The sound of falling rocks woke Kin. He started to try to move but his body was buried by rubble so he couldn't move. The shield was able to protect his back so no near-dead injuries occurred. But because of the rubble that crushed him, his HP started to decrease.

[You suffer damage equal to 500]

[You suffer damage equal to 500]

[You suffer damage equal to 500]

The notification repeats every 10 seconds.

I will die...

Kin touched his pocket. He felt an apple. He remembered Fakiha's quest and he remembered the condition of this quest. He also remembered the conditions that could make him fail this quest.

He started mumbling to himself. The condition of the quest failed is that less than 30 soldiers survived. It seems like I managed to save more than 30 soldiers. Then another failed quest condition is that the quest recipient dies, and it looks like I will die soon. Looks like I can't get a job change.

Kin is annoyed with himself, with his thoughts about how weak he is. His facial expression changed. His eyes showed a spirit of unwillingness to fail.

I've come this far. My Job Change. My struggle.

No! I won't give up.

Kin took out an apple from Fakiha and took a bite. Then he began to push his body. He tried to make room between his body and the cave floor. He tried to move his legs, and he was able to move them. He started crawling while holding falling rubble on his back. He continued to struggle and 1 minute had passed. He began to be able to see safe locations. He crawled towards that location, his HP visibly decreasing. Finally, his hand reached that location. But at that time he had 1,000 blood left, so if he couldn't get out of the rubble within 20 seconds he would die. Kin took the last bit from Fakihas' apple and swallowed it.

[You get an extra 1,000 HP]

Because of the effect of eating Fakihas's apple, he got a little extra time to come out from all the rubble. His upper body began to release from the weight of the rubble. Then he removed the shield from his back and attempted to slip his feet through the gap. Kin's feet managed to get out of the rubble and His HP left at 500. After that, a notification pops out in front of him.

[The quest to deliver supplies to the soldiers of Danem city has been completed.]

Suddenly Kin felt the boulder in front of him shaking but his focus split because there were notifications that continued to pop out in front of him.

[You managed to save 50 of the 50 soldiers and the monsters in the cave darewof unable to exit.]

The rocks in front of him shook even more.

[You succeeded in completing the mission perfectly.]

A claw appeared followed by a hand covered in wounds coming out of the rubble.

[You gain relationship with Mayor Glav +50.]

Varulv's head is also seen making it out of the rubble.

[Because you completed the mission perfectly, you will get a job change to 'helper'.]

Varulv shouted towards Kin. "You! I will kill you humans!" Suddenly a light appeared from Kin's head shining on him.

[You changed job to helper.]

Varulv's body was covered with wounds and blood. It began to emerge from the collapsing boulder.

[You are the first player to get this job.]

Varulv's feet also managed to get out of the rocks. Burn marks were visible around his stomach and chest. Its ribs and internal organs were slightly visible. Then he howled and ran towards Kin.

[The system will show the capabilities of this job. Player control will be taken over by the system]

Varulv the dark werewolf ran toward Kin. It tried to scratch Kin.

[Assimilation with Major Glav.]

Kin's body suddenly moved on its own to avoid Varulv's claws. Varulv clawed blindly at Kin. Kin watched his body move lightly avoiding every scratch. The sword was taken out by Kin and pointed at Varulv. Varulv clawed at Kin again, but Kin managed to redirect his claws and silence Varulv. Kin's sword suddenly glowed and the light swirled around the sword quickly.

[Light Vortex Strike]

Kin's sword pierced the gaps between Varulv's visible ribs. Then a light entered Varulv's body until it penetrated through his back. The surrounding area of ​​the stab was torn apart by the light rotating along the blade.

[Attacks the part that has been seriously injured. Attacks hit vital areas. Critical Strike. You have injured the enemy by 740,000]

Varulv suddenly stopped moving. And its body did not move anymore until it cracked, and shattered into dust.

[Varulv the dark werewolf has died.]

[You contributed to killing Varulv the dark werewolf. You get 4,480,000 exp, 5 claws of Varulv the dark werewolf, and 1 skin of Varulv the dark werewolf]

[Your level has increased by 1]

[Your current level is 71]

[Your level has increased by 1]

[Your current level is 72]

...

[Your level has increased by 1]

[Your current level is 80]

[The system has demonstrated the capabilities of this job. Player control returns]

Kin was stunned when he felt his body again and tried to move his fingers. Then he checked all the notifications that appeared in front of him. He focused on the job notification that appeared.

Helper? I've never heard of this job. And what power has just been demonstrated? Based on the notification I can use that power. Can I be that strong? And why does the name Major Glav appear?

So many questions come to Kin's mind. Suddenly the entire wall and ceiling of the cave shook. In some places, small stones fell from the walls and ceiling. This cave will collapse.

Kin started looking for a safe place. But He didn't find any. The cave begins to collapse. A notification appears in front of him.

[You have died, Exp decreased by 50% of your level, novice sword dropped. You need to wait 60 minutes before you come back to life]

...

[60 minutes have passed.]

[You come back to life.]

Kin came back to life in front of the west gate of Danem City.
