Immortal: Lord of Health - Chapter 4
While running to the north gate, Kang Joo-ho confirmed the other quests.
<Open Inventory>
Open your inventory!
Quest rewards: 3 random potions
<Open Character Window>
Open the character window!
Quest rewards: 3 random potions
They were simple quests, as the name suggests.
Kang Joo-ho first opened an inventory.
[You have completed the quest ‘Open Inventory’.]
[You have obtained three lower life potions.]
Then a potion appeared in the inventory along with the message. After that, Kang Joo-ho closed the inventory and then opened a character window.
Character Name: Kang Joo-ho
Nationality: Paraville Kingdom
Job: Beginner
Level: 1
EXP: 0%
Health: 500
Mana: 200
Satisfaction: 99%
Power: 10
Agility: 10
Health: 10
Wisdom: 10
The beginning stats were no different from the PC version. The resistance was the same. All the resistance was 0% because he hasn’t done anything yet.
Kang Joo-ho closed the character window and opened the message window.
[You have completed the quest ‘Open the character window’]
[You have obtained three lower mana potions.]
“Nice!” He took a sigh of relief. He was worried he’d been given a vitality potion, but luckily he got a mana one instead.
Kang Joo-ho smiled while continuing to run and looking at the mini-map. He was about to reach the first gate. Fortunately, the northern gate was still quiet.
I must have arrived first, he thought.
Only soldiers were visible. It seemed he was the earliest to arrive. Kang Joo-ho approached the soldiers and looked over them.
Above the soldier’s heads were their names, such as ‘Paisson’ and ‘Rovas’ written in green.
Looking up, Kang Joo-ho thought, Is it different for each user? Developers, you can’t assign the first quest to a single guard.
He kept looking around. Why are there only a few users? Isn’t today the grand opening?
Unlike in the PC version wherein you could just click on the guard from a distance, you now had to approach and get near the NPC to talk.
So Kang Joo-ho approached the guard ‘Calam’ and greeted him, “Good morning.”
“Hello!” Calam answered Kang Joo-ho’s greeting with a gentle smile. “I am called Calam.”
[You have completed the quest ‘Tutorial!’]
[You have obtained an old iron sword.]

Nema Soft, the company that created the virtual reality game ‘Earth.’
“Are there any problems with the game?” asked Kim Yuri, general manager of Virtual Earth Operations.
“…….”
“…….”
No one answered Kim Yuri’s question.
Tap, tap, click, tap. Only the sounds of the mouse and keyboards replied to her question.
Kim Yuri smiled. Her expression was filled with satisfaction. She wanted nothing unusual to happen. Kim Yuri stepped forward and moved towards the seat of the vice-president, Yoo Jang-hyuk.
Yoo Jang-hyuk, like the others, kept his eyes glued to the monitor.
“What do you think?” Kim Yuri asked, and looked at Yoo Jang-hyuk’s monitor, where the screen was different.
Yoo Jang-hyuk, who had a different role from the other spectators, was in charge of the ‘special job.’
“I don’t have anything yet,” he answered.
To date, no user has attained a special job. They were working hard but still hadn’t achieved any significant breakthrough yet.
“It hasn’t even been an hour since the game launched, it’s like we’re chasing our tails,” Kim Yuri nodded and said. “But I was hoping with the player base in Korea I’d be able to find an amazing player soon…”
Special occupations were divided into two categories: low and high. And the standard was the difference from the general job. Compared to the general job, the reward system was based on the player’s performance.
The top-ranked special job was difficult to attain, and it was nearly impossible to change jobs because it was nearly impossible to collect the materials necessary for a job change. The only way possible to switch jobs was to wait for a special event to occur.
Unlike the top-ranked jobs, the lower level jobs were readily available from the beginning.They weren’t that different from a standard game objective, so they made them simple without any difficult conditions.
“I don’t know how many people will play today,” said Yoo Jang-hyuk.
Numerous users had started and were wandering around to find special jobs. At least they were seeing progress today.
“Please contact me as soon as a former user comes out.”
“Yes!” Upon hearing Yoo Jang-hyuk’s answer, Kim Yuri left and returned to her seat.
Yoo Jang-hyuk, who was left alone, looked at the monitor again and moved the keyboard and mouse.
There are about five things that players could discover today.
They were the following: the blacksmith of the battlefield, the sorcerer of the fire, the wind magician, the degree of the fuse of the street, and the conditions of the job change.
But what will be known first?
Yoo Jang-hyuk looked at the monitor with a smile full of anticipation.

Swoosh!
Kang Joo-ho swung an old iron sword towards the rabbit.
Swoosh!
The rabbits grazing in the grass could not avoid his iron swords.
Cling!
Bam!
He had slain the rabbit. Kang Joo-ho then received the message.
[Critical Hit!]
You have slain the rabbit with the old iron sword.
Kang Joo-ho opened the quest window and clicked on the quest ‘Rabbit Hunt’ he received from Calam, the guard he met earlier.
<Rabbit Hunting>
Rabbits have bred too much. The number of rabbits has increased to the point that it interferes with the guard’s work, so guard Calam has ordered you to slay them. Kill the rabbit and go to the guard headquarters in ‘Job Square,’ meet ‘Doen’ and deliver Calam’s letter!
[Rabbit: 29 / 30]
[Letter of Column: 1 / 1]
Quest reward: leather armor
“If I catch one more….”
29 out of 30 were caught. Only one left now! he thought, confident that he could do it.
Kang Joo-ho turned his head and looked around. Dozens of users were already hunting rabbits. And users were continually flowing through the gates. If this keeps up, there will be more users than rabbits. If so, the users will compete with each other for resources, slowing down everyone’s progress toward the next quest.
It was then.
Ding!
In front of Kang Joo-ho, the rabbit regenerated and continued to graze in the grass. He lifted his sword and hit it.
Swoosh!
This time it was not a critical hit, so the rabbit began to flee from Kang Joo-ho. However, the injured rabbi was remarkably slow, and Joo-ho could predict where it was going. He chased the rabbit and once again swung his sword.
Swoosh! Cling! Thud.
He collected the rabbit’s body and returned to the gate.
* * *
“Wow, is this a rabbit field? Can we pet the rabbits?”
“I’ll quickly finish this quest!”
“Let’s take our time and look around, and it’s not like we can get special jobs right away.”
“Let’s catch a rabbit.”
Kang Joo-ho, who arrived in front of the castle gate, entered the city while listening to the other users’ conversations. Then he headed straight to the job fair. Soon after getting to the job fair, Kang Joo-ho was able to find the security headquarters immediately without getting lost thanks to the mini-map.
The Guard Headquarters was a five-story building with numerous guards coming and going.
The name of the NPC that he had to meet was ‘Doen.’
“Doen, Doen…” Kang Joo-ho, who entered the guard headquarters, started muttering Doen’s name while looking for him.
Kang Joo-ho, who walked around the first floor, frowned slightly. Are you on the second floor?
The name Doen could not be seen.
Can’t I ask an NPC for directions? Kang Joo-ho felt annoyed.
None of the green text above the help NPC’s heads had Doen written on them.
Then a thought came to his mind. What if Doen isn’t a help NPC?
Eventually, Kang Joo-ho decided to ask a nearby soldier. It was faster to ask an NPC for help than to look for Doen alone.
“Good morning. I’ve been looking for someone called Doen. Do you know where he is?”
“Doen?” The guard said, then nodded, “Do you mean our team leader? You can find his office on the second floor.”
Luckily the soldier knew who he was looking for.
“Thank you.” Kang Joo-ho thanked the guard then proceeded directly to the second floor.
And upon arrival, Kang Joo-ho was able to find Doen. Doen was sitting in front of the table reading documents.
He looks strict.
Kang Joo-ho approached Doen.
“Good morning. Here…” After greeting him, Kang Joo-ho took out a letter from Calam and gave it to him.
“… ?” Doen took the letter with a puzzled look.
[You have completed the quest ‘Rabbit Hunt’.]
And at that moment, the quest was completed.
Doen started reading the letter. Shortly after, he said with a smile, “I planned to deal with the rabbit soon by myself, so I must thank you.”
Doen, who stood up to thank him, asked, “Could you please wait?”
“Sure.”
Upon hearing Kang Joo-ho’s answer, Doen entered the door behind him. It was apparent that he was going to get Kang Joo-ho’s reward.
As predicted, Doen returned with a piece of leather armor. “It’s a reward for helping hunt down the rabbits.”
“Thank you.”
[You have obtained the leather armor.]
After receiving the armor and putting it in the inventory, Kang Joo-ho returned his attention to Doen, awaiting his next quest.
“And…” Doen dimmed, as he opened the desk drawer. It was the next quest.
Doen, who pulled something out of the drawer, and handed it over.
“Here it is.” It was a scroll.
Kang Joo-ho received the scroll.
[You have obtained a job recommendation letter.]
[Quest ‘Finding a job’ was created.]
Doen wrote down his identification on the scroll. “If you need a recommendation for a job, I can help. Have a good adventure,” Doen said with a smile.
It’s over… Kang Joo-ho thought after Doen’s greetings. I said I was gonna finish the tutorial quickly, but I may have gone too fast.
It was said that the tutorial was short, but he expected it to last at least an hour.
“Good-bye.” After answering Doen’s greeting, Kang Joo-ho headed to the first floor.
Soon, users who have finished hunting rabbits will flock one after another. There is no time to delay. Kang Joo-ho, who came out of the security headquarters, confirmed the quest ‘Find a job.’
<Finding a job>
After reaching level 10, get a job with a recommendation letter!
[Level: 6 / 10]
[Job Recommendation: 1 / 1]
Quest reward: ???
