The semi-transparent panel displayed before me reads as follows:

I understand that this is not normal. I don't know about now, but to my knowledge, I have never seen a human with such a status. However, the world is vast, and there might be people with a status like mine.

It would take too long to explain everything, so I will only explain the necessary parts.

First, about my occupation.

Three years ago, I was a "White Mage." Now, I am a "Holy Sorceress." I don't know why I have this unprecedented occupation. When I realized it, I was already a "Holy Sorceress." I've heard that if certain conditions are met, one can transcend to a higher occupation. It seems that a "White Mage" can transcend to a "Holy Sorceress" if certain conditions are met.

────────────────

Higher Occupation "Holy Sorceress"

Conditions:

- Transcend the occupation "White Mage" to the higher occupation "Holy Maiden"

- Transcend the occupation "Black Mage" to the higher occupation "Sorceress"

- Use a certain number of magic spells

Abilities:

- "Blessing of the Holy Sorceress"

├ +15,000 to Magic Power and Spirit Power

└ - (Magic Power + Spirit Power) to Attack Power

- "White Magic"

└ 50% reduction in magic consumption when using "Healing Magic"

- "Black Magic"

└ 50% reduction in magic consumption when using "Attack Magic"

- "Halved Magic Consumption"

└ Further reduces the magic required for spell casting by 50%

- "Automatic Magic Barrier Activation"

└ Automatically activates a magic barrier in response to hostile attacks

────────────────

That's how it is. Upon re-reading, I have many things to say, but let's just sum it up with, "What the heck is this out-of-the-ordinary occupation?!"

Still, it's quite mysterious.

A person can only have one occupation. However, to become a "Holy Sorceress," one must be both a "White Mage" and a "Black Mage." Furthermore, both must transcend to their higher occupations.

It sounds impossible, but somehow I met those conditions.

By the way, there was a book in the building I used as a base. I read it out of boredom. I couldn't understand a single word, but one day, I could read it. From that day, I felt I could use the magic of a "Black Mage"...

Perhaps that book granted me the occupation of "Black Mage," and without my knowledge, my "White Mage" transcended to "Holy Maiden" and my "Black Mage" to "Sorceress," thus becoming a "Holy Sorceress."

For now, let's leave it at that for the "Holy Sorceress" – what should I do next?

The title also appeared without my knowledge.

────────────────

Title "The Seeker of Magic"

Conditions:

- Use magic a cumulative 100,000 times

Abilities:

- +8,000 to all status

- "Long Chant Cancellation"

- "Parallel Chanting"

└ Ability to use different types of magic simultaneously

- "Multiple Chanting"

└ Ability to use up to 50 of the same type of magic simultaneously

────────────────

It seems I used magic 100,000 times over three years. On average, I used magic 91 times a day. It might have been even more.

Well, in a place where such monstrous creatures roam, I must have used magic desperately to survive.

By the way, the numbers displayed next to the status values are the values added by skills, titles, and weapons. The total of the base status and these added values is my status.

While explaining the status values:

All status values are too high, and the one that stands out is the attack power. This is due to the negative adjustment from "Blessing of the Holy Sorceress."

When my occupation changed to "Holy Sorceress," I gained many valuable skills for a magic user. As a trade-off, "Blessing of the Holy Sorceress" might reduce attack power by the sum of magic power and spirit power.

However, status values cannot go below zero, so my attack power is the minimum value of 1.

For reference, the weakest monster in terms of attack power is the "Minimum Ant," which has an attack power of 3.

In other words, my fists are weaker than the weakest monster. No matter how hard I hit, the damage I can inflict is either 1 or 0... My fists are worse than insects.

Furthermore, since the total of magic power and spirit power is considered, the growth of status values varies by occupation – in my case, attack power is hard to increase – so even if my level goes up, my attack power will remain the same.

But, I have magic, so it doesn't matter. I can solve problems by using magic. I have to think this way to keep going.

Well, now that I've checked my status, let's head to the surface.

Regarding magic consumption, for clarity:

(Example: "Required Magic" 100 × "50% reduction by magic-related skills" × "50% reduction in magic consumption" = "Required Magic" 25)
