Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World (LN)

That way, since I didnt use the services of the Explorer to get transported to the floor of my choice, then even if someone was indeed following me, they wont be able to immediately go after me. Thankfully, I dont have to go anywhere in particular, this first floor is all that I need.

Once I found myself in the proper Labyrinth, I immediately used Warp in order to get myself out of there and head right back home.

Sorry for being so late, girls. Did I make you wait long?

No, it is quite all right, master. Youre just in time.

When I arrived back home, the preparations for us to have breakfast have already been completed thanks to the joint effort of Roxanne, Miria and Sherry. Initially, I wanted to simply go to Bode to hear about at what day did the meeting with the Earl of Selmar has been agreed to and then come back right afterwards, but I certainly didnt think that the things would develop so fast and that I am going to be meeting the Earl today of all days, but I guess thats just how life is for you. Even though you have things planned out, your carefully laid plans might be thrown into disarray when you least expect them to.

That, and also the Duke is the kind of person who evidently likes to play tricks on people to force them to go at his pace instead of their own.

I sat on the chair and breathed out a long, heavy sigh. Even though it is only morning, I have to say that I feel incredibly tired, much more than I was expecting to feel. Its just that this whole situation with the earl made me feel as if I had a good chunk of my lifespan shaved away from me.

However, even though I feel tired, its not that kind of tired that would cause me to crave a rest, so when we finish eating breakfast, I still decided to go to the Labyrinth to do some hunting and exploring. And while we were in the middle of doing exactly that, at one point when I opened the Party Job Settings menu I noticed that the total count of the Jobs available to me has been upped by two entirely new Jobs that have been added to the list most likely because the level of my Warrior Job has increased to Lv.30.

Bounty Hunter Lv.1

Effects: Increase DEX (Small), Increase STR (Small), Increase MP (Small)

Skill: Ignore Life and Death

Knight Lv.1

Effects: Increase END (Small), Increase INT (Small), Increase SPI (Small)

Skills: Defense,Appointment, Intelligence Card Operation

The Jobs that I managed to unlock were Bounty Hunter and Knight respectively. Both of these Jobs required getting the Warrior Job up to Lv.30? If I knew about that earlier, I mightve done some more grinding to increase the Warriors level that much faster so that I could equip it instead of the Explorer when I was heading to the Earl of Selmars place. I bet that if I pulled such a prank on them, then both the Duke and the Earl would have jumped out of their boots in surprise.

Well, it wouldve been a pretty petty prank, so I guess the potential risks involved with carrying it out and the possible repercussions of the Earl thinking that I am actually a Knight would not have been worth it at all.

The condition to acquiring the Job of an Adventurer is to have your Explorer Job at Lv.50, so naturally that means that all the Adventurers already possess the Explorer Job, since getting it is a prerequisite for getting Adventurer. The reason for why the Duke didnt object or interrogate me about why I was an Explorer and not an Adventurer was exactly because of that.

On the other hand, if I had a different Job on me at the time of the checking of my Intelligence Card, like a Knight for example, then that would give the Duke plenty of reasons to be suspicious of me, so leaving Explorer as my First Job instead of switching it to a Knight turned out to be the best decision possible.

All right, since I have already gotten my hands on these two new Jobs, then I say it might be a good idea to take them for a test drive, wouldnt you agree? Yes, definitely, so we brandished our weapons and were on our way to the nearest group of monsters.

The first thing that I noticed almost immediately after I switched to a new Job was that my battle effectiveness has apparently went down by quite a lot, since the number of the Spells that I had to use in order to defeat a single monster has increased.

I am not getting worried about it too much, however, because that was to be expected, since I have replaced Monk Lv.39 with Bounty Hunter Lv.1, so the drop in my performance when it comes to the power of my Spells was pretty much inevitable.

At least now I know that in order to be more effective with my magic, Im going to have to equip myself with a Fourth Job and set Monk as that Fourth Job. This just goes to show how much of a boost to my INT stat I am getting from a Job that is almost Lv.40 in comparison to a Job that also has Increase INT effect but is at Lv.1. Just like in every game, its all about the numbers advantage.

I performed a Character Reset, redistributed Bonus Points and changed my Bonus Skills in such a way so that I could add more Jobs to my list of Active ones, and when I have chosen both Monk and Knight Jobs, I immediately noticed that the number of Spells I needed in order to defeat monsters has returned to what I was accustomed to at this point.

Are the Monk Jobs effects effective even when it is being set as a Sixth Job? Even though there are some differences, I think that the general rule with multiple Jobs is that the First Job is always going to be twice as influential as the Second Job and so on and so forth.

But then again, I didnt notice any tangible changes when I tried to also attach the Job of an Alchemist that had lower level than the Monk Job, but on the flipside it was offering a bigger increase to the INT stat than the Monk Job, and keeping both of these Jobs at the same time would not benefit me in any way, because according to what Sherry once told me that having two Jobs with the effect that Increases a single Stat does not give you double the benefits

If thats the case, then maybe I should get myself a Seventh Job with an increase to a different Stat than INT. But thats going to be a story for another time. Now, the next thing that I want to check is.

Sherry, do you know anything about Bounty Hunter Jobs Skill Ignore Life and Death?

I ask that of Sherry.

If I remember correctly, then I read about it once in the past, and the book where I read about it stated that it is supposed to be an offensive Skill meant to inflict death blows to monsters and Bandits whose HP has been reduced to a certain level.

I see. Thats good to know.

Nope, thats not exactly it, because that is what I have thought about t as well, since this is essentially what I have been doing since a while ago.

And speaking of Bounty Hunters, I guess that the name of the Skill is really fitting here, since they literally can ignore life and death in their line of work, because it does not matter if their target is alive or dead, theyre going to receive their reward money either way as long as theyre going to bring the proof of a completed job in to the authorities.

With all that said, what does this Skill do? Is it really what Sherry said that it is, or perhaps something else entirely?

There is no doubt in my mind that Ignore Life and Death Skill is a single target attack Skill, because when I thought about it in my mind and invoked the Skills name, a dialogue window has popped up, asking me to select a target for the Skill.

Maybe it really does damage to the enemies, but since the battle time has remained largely the same, I am beginning to be skeptical about that. I attacked Grass Bees many times before taking them out with the usage of eight Spells in total.
