Chapter 4

I hunted two rabbits. Still, since I grow 400 times faster than an average person, it means I have grown as much as an average person who has hunted 800 rabbits. According to Daijiro's book, people in this world change their occupation to a commoner right after they are born, so maybe no one has noticed this hidden trick?

This is a good discovery.

It means that the commoner status is layered on top of the unemployed status.

At the very least, even with the natural advantage of growing faster, I can gain twice the status of others.

My current second occupation is a commoner.

According to Daijiro's book, commoners can only learn rather mundane skills, but as their level increases, the number of occupations they can change to also increases.

For now, I'll store the rabbits I killed in my item bag.

Now, I want to hunt one more rabbit to grow and change my first occupation to something else.

It's too much for me mentally to keep my first occupation as unemployed. Once I get a new occupation, I'll move the unemployed status to the second occupation.

I want to get a job in this different world. However, I don't feel like making commoner my first occupation; it feels too much like being a part-time worker.

Still, I should head north on this trail first.

It would be dangerous if wolves appeared.

Two rabbits won't be enough for tonight's lodging, but with the money I got from Daijiro, I think I can easily stay at an inn.

Just then, I spotted a black rabbit!

Lucky, I'll hunt it.

The black rabbit moved more quickly than the previous ones, almost like a ninja compared to a swimmer. It feels like a higher-level species than the ordinary white rabbit.

If I don't do something, it will escape.

Just as I thought that, the black rabbit tripped on a tree stump root. It was like a nursery rhyme.

This is my chance!

I was about to slash it with a sharp rock. Just as I thought that, the black rabbit decided to charge at me.

It was quite fast, but I managed to avoid it. I couldn't have done that before. Ah, I was able to avoid it because my speed increased.

As we passed each other, the sharp rock I was holding grazed the black rabbit's neck, dealing a fatal wound.

……………………………………………………

Wow, my stats and occupations have increased all at once.

Although my commoner level only reached 8, my unemployed level increased by 7.

It seems that the growth rate for commoner is slower than for unemployed.

Based on my guess, the rarer the occupation, the harder it is to grow, or something like that.

However, it's also possible that the second occupation just grows more slowly.

Also, as I heard, the commoner's skills are indeed rather mundane. Throwing rocks... you can do that without a skill. I guess there might be some kind of bonus.

According to Daijiro's book, once a commoner reaches level 10, the apprentice swordsman occupation is unlocked. I want to aim for that first.

Before that, I'll change my first occupation to Hunter!

I chanted to change my first occupation. Is this the right way to do it?

[Are you sure you want to remove Unemployed from your first occupation? You will not be able to return to Unemployed.]

Huh? Wait a minute!

If I'm no longer unemployed, I can't become unemployed again?

I see, once you get a job, you can't become unemployed unless you lose your job. That makes sense. But in this game-like system, you can't lose your occupation, so you can't become unemployed. There's no way to change back to unemployed.

Based on my guess, there are still many unknown possibilities in being unemployed.

There might even be a third or fourth occupation... who knows?

It's definitely better to stay as I am.

I know that.

...In the end, I can't get a job again.

I couldn't help but feel down.

This was a slightly early update.

Of course, as the title suggests, you can't delete the unemployed status.

Next time, I'll finally arrive in town.
