“The profession of a Demon Hunter…”

Hearing Rod detail the darkness and horror tied to their family profession left Su Lu speechless.

If previously he still had interest in the family’s inheritance, now he couldn’t get further away from it.

‘Whether pursuing the path of a Demon Hunter or the path of corruption, from the onset there must be a pact with an Abyss Demon…hehe…’

Having such high status, such an entity of an evil god, can anything good come from making a pact with it?

Furthermore, following the orthodox path of a Demon Hunter, in the later stages one would not be able to suppress the demonic power within themselves and would require intervention from other deities!

Wasn’t one pact with a powerful entity enough? Now you have to do it again, aren’t you afraid of your soul being ripped apart?

“Hold on!”

Su Lu suddenly interrupted Rod’s narration: ‘You said earlier… the old guy, he, through a ritual, went to a far-off place?”

The ritual needed for a [Pact Demonist] is called ‘Stare at the Abyss’, a process of making a pact with a demon.

Of course, there’s no way a regular person could make a pact with an actual demon. It’s merely a pact with the plane where the demon resides, commonly known as the Abyss, to gain a fraction of its power.contemporary romance

This kind of ritual is extremely dangerous, Donks had failed once before, costing him his wife.

Looking at the situation now, he’s stirred up something else.

“That’s correct! Our father… always blames himself, believes that during the failed ritual last time, the Abyss claimed our mother’s life!” Rod spoke sorrowfully: “He always hoped he could bring mother back, so through some research, he secretly modified the ritual’s outcome… I cannot confirm whether or not the ritual was successful in the end, but it’s likely he went to the Abyss, the place where the demon’s real body resides!”

‘It’s also possible that the ritual actually failed, and he got blown to smithereens…’ Su Lu sighed to himself: ‘Even if he succeeded and went to the Abyss, surely the demon wouldn’t be so amicable? No… perhaps he would die from other dangers before even encountering the demon…’

Of course, for Rod and him, they would rather hold onto this sliver of hope. Donks didn’t die, but rather went to the Abyss, battling demons to resurrect his wife.

Neither of them spoke, leading to a moment of silence.

Su Lu was the first to break the silence: “So… you hope that I become an Occupational Person, but you don’t want me to follow the path of a Demon

Hunter!”

“Yes!” Rod nodded solemnly.

‘Good, I also have no intention of following that path either!’

Su Lu drew in a deep breath: “So… do you have other professions on hand, or rather, information about one-tier professions?”

Upon hearing this, Rod’s face appeared somewhat awkward: “Um… ever since father left, I’ve been training hard and officially advanced to become a two-tier [Demon Hunter] , actively carrying out actions and striking down a fair number of demon followers and dark forces…

“Fragmented?”

Su Lu was puzzled as he watched Rod open the black box he’ve been carrying.

Inside were menacingly fashioned machetes, claws, ropes, and other tools… Su Lu even spotted a revolver.

Rod rummaged through it and found a black page: “This one!”

Su Lu took it and examined it, his face hardening.

The page was written in Ancient Hebrew, describing a ritual called ‘Bring Down Misfortune’, the effect allows a one-tier [Apprentice] to undergo physical changes, becoming more familiar with the powers of death and misfortune, and advancing into a two-tier [Doomsayer]!

‘The [Doomsayer] profession? Isn’t this a prerequisite for the [Creation of Dead

Princess]? It is indeed something from a society, following the same lineage!’ Only then did Su Lu realize that this [Doomsayer] profession, was a two-tier one.

“It only has information about the two-tier profession… what about the one-tier [Apprentice]? How to take office?” He looked over at Rod.

“I don’t know!” Rod scratched his head: “If I knew, I would have given it directly to you!”

Before Su Lu could say anything, he immediately continued: “However… [Apprentice] and [Soldier] are the two most widespread occupational factions, certain large forces, such as the Church of the Seven Gods, and within the federal government, definitely have collections! Given the Pottery family’s relationship with the Goddess Church… um… I mean the historically good relationship, obtaining the [Apprentice] advancement through a certain trade shouldn’t be difficult!”

‘So you mean, my background is solid and I can easily pass the political review?’

Su Lu rolled his eyes inwardly: “But… if there’s a path through the church, if I join directly, there should be a better occupation inheritance, at least until reaching the four-tier master there are no concerns, so why follow this dark path?”

This [Doomsayer] profession, no matter how you look at it, seems to be on par with Catherine’s evil professions.

And from the Goddess Church’s attitude towards these transcendent individuals, it definitely could not be called friendly.

According to Su Lu’s thoughts, rather than becoming a target for all, it’s better to take up a profession that’s bright and good; at the very least choose a neutral one like the Mage.

Being one person against the church, or even the whole world, isn’t fun.

‘This is about the seriousness of occupational paths! It was like this in my previous life, and it seems this world is no different…’ He silently added an internal comment.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t take that into consideration.”

Rod slapped his forehead: “Indeed… that secret society does not seem like any good, like a rat in the sewer hiding in the dark, it’s not a good profession! But…

even if you could smoothly join the church and gain approval, accumulating enough merit is not easy, and it’s the same for the federal government… furthermore, my thought is, if you choose this necromantic caster profession, perhaps it would give you some help in dealing with Bicui in the future!”

‘That’s right, there’s also Bicui, I nearly forgot about her…’

Su Lu was taken aback.

If he became a Necromancer, indeed there would be certain advantages in restraining the other party.

Looking at it this way, becoming a [Doomsayer] seemed to be acceptable?

But the key remained getting hold of the information about one-tier [Apprentice] first, this was a prerequisite for two-tier [Doomsayer], without first becoming transcendent, there was no point considering advancing.

“I… still need to consider more!” Su Lu gave a cautious replv. “Yes, it requires careful consideration for your future transcendent path, the occupational system is very complicated… all I can say is, be very cautious, do not be tempted by temporary ease, completely cutting off your future progress! ”

Rod nodded approvingly: “You don’t have to attend classes recently, right?”

“Yes, why?”

Su Lu was slightly confused.

“So I plan to find a place to train you for a period of time, to fill in the missing education from our family! This will be very useful to your future!”

Rod seriously replied.

Does this mean more remedial lessons?

Thinking about the tools similar to torture devices in his box, Su Lu’s scalp began to tingle..
