Orbis Online
26. Light Conversation
After taking which path to choose, Reus and Violet stepped into the passage carefully. Previously Reus had told that many traps were installed along the Lafos cave on Mirage and others so that their vigilance increased.
Reus is seen walking while carrying his sword in hand to prepare for something unwanted, while Violet also follows Reus who is holding both of her silver pistols.
"Violet, I want to ask you something."
"Hm? Ask what?"
"What about your Gunner class, how did you get it?"
"Ah, it turns out."
Violet was not too surprised by the question Reus had asked just now because such a question was indeed no stranger to her hearing. Most people who have seen him holding a gun will ask about this. Of course, Gunner is a class that includes Special-Class that most players are looking for.
There are some conditions that players must meet to get this class. One, has a high Dex and Luc status. Two, high attack or shot accuracy. Three, must have a rare skill called Dual Wielding.
Once these three conditions are met then the player can change his class to Gunner. But, surely the Gunner Class Necklace was not an Item that could be searched easily. Special-Class Class Necklace is not provided in any store in the Plainfest continent or in the Orbis Mall.
Indeed, there are some players who managed to get the Necklace Class through special Quests or as special item drops, but even though they get the conditions that must be met in order to become a Gunner is quite difficult—even among professional players though.
Dual Wielding Skills were skills that could be categorized as rare and difficult to find. The chance of getting this skill is no more than 1% because of the lack. Even Orbis Mall did not provide this Dual Wielding Skill Emblem.
But, another story if someone who has high luck gets it from the Fortuna Slot feature available at Orbis Mall. Yes, this Fortuna Slot uses gacha system. Fortuna Slot is quite expensive to use and the opportunity to get a good item is very little so rarely use this feature—except those who have a high economic level of course.
It was because of this that not many took the Silver-Class Dual Swordsman class like Edmund.
Besides being used on swords and firearms, magic can also use this skill. By using Dual Wielding the attack power and the amount of magic that can be issued at the same time can increase to double—but with reduced Luc status fees.
The question is, can players who take classes using arrows use this skill as well? The answer is that it depends on the number of hands that the player has.
In general, players only have one pair of hands, but with the help of Potions, skills, and certain Items in Orbis Online players can have additional limbs. That's roughly the explanation.
"When did you get the Gunner Class Necklace?"
"Into the Rizplex Dungeon. That Dungeon can be entered with a level of at least 50. Otherwise, Brother Reus would have died immediately upon being attacked by monsters."
'Indeed I seem to want to go there with my level and status still crummy like this?'
Reus sighed hearing the additional explanation on him regarding the minimum level to reach to challenge the Dungeon. Well, he knew that actually Violet thought she intended to find the Gunner Class Necklace and Dual Wielding Skill Emblem in order to get the Gunner class.
"Why did you ask that?"
"Ah, no, I'm just curious."
"really? Not because you want to be a Gunner like me?"
"No. If given the option to take the Gunner or Swordsman class then I will take the Swordsman. I'd rather use my own sword and body."
"So, yeah."
This time it was Violet's turn to sigh at Reus' reply. Actually, he was worried if Gunner class players were increasing and it would affect his ranking in the Ranking Class.
Class Ranking is a ranking system based on its class. This ranking system is categorized into four categories, Bronze-Class, Silver-Class, Gold-Class, and Special-Class. As per its system, its ranking would also be categorized into the same four categories.
Just like the Duel Ranking and Arena Ranking, each rank occupied would award some rewards and its ranking would be measured through points. The higher the rank, the greater the prize the player will receive.
Interestingly from this ranking system players will only get points from defeating players who have the same level of class as themselves. Winning or losing a player in this Ranking Class would not affect the points in the Ranking Duel and Ranking Arena.
Currently Violet is ranked in the 50s in the Special-Class Ranking Class category. Of course he did not want his rank to decrease and his reward to decrease. Violet used her rank reward for her expensive pistol bullets. With this at least the economic burden of his character is not so big as a classy Gunner player.
"If you may know, what Silver-Class does Reus' brother want?"
"Silver-Class, huh? I didn't think much of it anyway, but it might be the Swordmage or the Brawler Swordsman."
"B-Brawler Swordsman?"
"Whether such a class exists or not in Orbis Online, obviously this class used to attack using swords and bare hands. Why why?"
"A-ah no, I was just a little surprised to hear an unusual answer like the Brawler Swordsman. You see, there are only a few players who take that class because it is considered useless."
Classes like Brawler Swordsman are usually considered useless and effective by most RPG begenre game players. If you have a weapon for what to fight using empty hands again? Roughly that's what most players assume when they see someone taking a Brawler Swordsman class.
Although many people viewed the Brawler Swordsman as a useless class, Reus viewed it as a great class. Not many players or even swordsmen in the real world can fight using swords as well as their bodies freely.
'But well, my goal is not class, but high status, titles that can add status permanently, and of course high-class Items that can be sold at a high price.'
Reus's last reason is not unusual considering Reus' real-world finances are indeed very bad. Although he had just earned a sum of 5,000,000 rupiah in his transactions with Violet and her friends, Reus was still not satisfied. As much as possible he must find a way to make as much money as possible while enjoying his second life in the world of Orbis Online.
