Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Provoking the President with unreasonable demands wasn’t unintentional on Leeha’s part.

Karelin, as well as the Giants and 1406s who came to the north, knew the power of Leeha and the White Reaper.

But the President?

The final negotiation target had not experienced this “war.”

‘So, I wanted to give him a scare… Who knew he already feared the White Reaper?’ Thus, provoking him to escalate the situation and then educating the President properly with the .

Leeha felt a bit guilty towards the President, but one thing was certain.

He would no longer be able to refuse Leeha.

Moments later, the President regained consciousness, supported by Karelin, and barely stood up.

“President-nim? Your answer?”

Leeha smiled at him.

The President, with a completely defeated expression, answered in a voice that signified he had given up everything.

“Understood… I will accept Lord Hyha’s remarks in the name of the President of the Shazrashian Federation.”

At that moment, light radiated from Leeha’s body. Ta-da!

『You have leveled up.』

『You have completed the Revived White Reaper quest.』

『You have been removed from the Giant’s quest target list in the Shazrashian Federation.』

『Attacking Giants from the Shazrashian Federation will now incur chaotic points.』

『Mutual 0 penalties are applied.』

『You have acquired the achievement ‘Under Surveillance by the Shazrashian Federation Government’.』

undefined
『You have acquired the achievement ‘Shared Profits from Northern Continent Mines’.』

『You have acquired the achievement ‘Hero of Shazrashian Minorities’.』

『You have acquired the achievement ‘Infamous Past Spirit’.』

『You have completed your second job change.』

『You have acquired the achievement ‘The One Who Broke Free from the Egg’.』

“Wow—”

First, four achievements, then the notification of completing the second job change, followed by another achievement.

Seeing a total of five achievements pop up simultaneously, Leeha couldn’t close his mouth.

Even when he slew Toon or sniped the Bathory-turned Chiyou, he hadn’t seen this many achievements pop up at once.

“As expected, the second job change is fantastic! Haha!”

The holographic window in front of him wasn’t over.

『Second Job Change Information』

『Job Name: White Reaper』

『Job Mentor: Simone』

『You can acquire skills and growth quests related to the second job from this mentor.』

“Wow! This is it! I was worried the name might be ‘Sniper’ or something!”

“What are you talking about—”

“Ah, haha, it’s nothing.”

As Leeha jumped around in excitement, Blaugrunn and Karelin frowned at the sight.

The President could no longer deal with Leeha and tried to leave the room, supported by Karelin.

“I will notify you as soon as the documents are ready.”

“Yes, yes. That will be fine. That’s all I need. Oh, by the way, I might log out soon. When I log back in, I’ll contact you immediately. You’ll be ready by then, right?”

Seeing Leeha yawn widely while speaking, Karelin shook his head.

What kind of person is he really? When he shows a strategic and strong side, when he uses rhetoric that even ensnares the President whom Karelin admires, and now, yawning broadly and showing such a relaxed demeanor.

“I’ll prepare as much as possible. And if there’s nothing else, please leave.”

Karelin answered Leeha and escorted the President out.

Leeha said he’d leave soon but didn’t right away.

Not only because it was a rare opportunity to be alone in the office of the President of another country(?).

“What makes you so happy?”

“Why wouldn’t I be happy? Haha, I am now the ‘White Reaper’!”

The job name dictates the skills.

Leeha had predicted that he would receive specific guidance from Simone.

But under what job name and what type of skills?

“If it had been ‘Sniper’, I might not have been able to acquire certain skills. But it’s ‘White Reaper’. White Reaper!”

He surely had many other types of skills.

Even the outrageous disguise must be a type of skill. However, what excited Leeha the most right now was just one thing.

“…”

The White Reaper’s skill, which stopped the final charge of the Giant forces with a single bullet.

Wouldn’t I be able to learn that bullet that seemed like a finishing move?

“No, it’s not a ‘might’! I am the White Reaper now! If I don’t shoot, who will?”

Congratulations! You have inherited the name of one who was notorious in Middle Earth’s past. Some will call you a murderer crazed with blood and slaughter, while others will become fanatical followers of your power and name. However, one thing is certain: Both will acknowledge that you possess strength and greatness akin to the ‘past spirit.’

Infamy has been handed down to you. How you use this infamy is entirely up to you.

Reward: 25 stat points

Increased likelihood of being revered by those with positive evaluations

Increased likelihood of being targeted for overthrow by those with negative evaluations

Effect: 50 stat points

“Haha, at least to the Shazrashian Giants, I am a notorious… Huh? What’s this?”

Leeha was ecstatic, examining a fifth-tier achievement, when he suddenly paused.

The White Reaper is a hero to the Panlinde people.

According to Middle Earth’s settings, he fought for the oppressed people, but was undoubtedly a colossal murderer.

What puzzled Leeha wasn’t referring to the White Reaper as the ‘Past Spirit.’

“Hall of Fame… second registry?”

You are the second registrant of the achievement Infamous Past Spirit achievement.

Achievements related to Shazrashian might be possible. It doesn’t have to be a second job change.

However, the Infamous Past Spirit and The One Who Broke Free from the Egg achievements are clearly linked to a second job change just by their names.

“Of course, the One Who Broke Free from the Egg achievement is given to all users who succeed in their second job change. So that might not put me in the Hall of Fame. But this… what is this?”

The achievement’s description makes it clear.

You have to inherit the name of a notorious figure from the past.

Other users’ second job changes will also be related to 48s.

However, whether they perfectly inherited the baton from past figures is uncertain, even to Leeha.

Is there anyone among those who completed their second job change so far?

“Alexander, Kijung, lam Hwayang—Ah! Ah!”

There is one person.

What if the 18() that guided them to their second job change disappeared?

That user might inherit the name related to the second job change’s core keyword.

‘Chiyou… what a troublesome opponent. And being revered or targeted? How do they know who evaluates me? Affinity? Honor Points? Or overall reputation?’

The fact that he didn’t even fully grasp the potential of the achievement and that it might be held by the most difficult enemy pressured Leeha.

“Ah, it’s good, but also kind of frustrating. Lord Blaugrunn! Let’s go back.”

“Understood. To the place where that human spirit resides?”

“Yep. I’ll report back and then take a rest—”

-Hyung? Busy?

Leeha’s plan was to log out after informing the White Reaper that everything was over.

However, Kijung’s sudden whisper caught his attention.

-What’s up, Kijung? Got something urgent?

Leeha’s mouth curved into a grin thinking about what Kijung might want to share.

“Maybe it’s something good.”

He smiled broadly, but then a mischievous thought struck him.

“Hey, don’t send me something weird! If you think I’ll appreciate that, I’ll give you high praise~?”

-What are you thinking? It’s not something weird! Anyway, I’ll go outside and send it to you right away. And let’s talk for a bit.

When Kijung spoke with a serious tone, Leeha stopped joking around immediately.

‘What’s going on—’

“We’ll depart now.”

“Oh, yes. Let’s go.”

It’s something that can be figured out by watching the video and talking once outside. For now, Leeha teleported with Blaugrunn to the White Reaper’s abode.

Leeha reported back everything about the conversation with the highest authority in Shazrashian and the achievements gained.

“The resource development in the north… well, I didn’t get permission this time, but Lord Simone mentioned it last time… I used it as a negotiation card. If you feel bad about it, I can cancel it now.”

The part that weighed on Leeha’s mind was this.

Would the White Reaper be upset about the Giants developing the mines beyond this place?

Though he permitted peaceful negotiation initially, they later attempted to seize the area by force, and Leeha and the White Reaper barely managed to fend them off.

『No. Not at all.』

However, the White Reaper wasn’t displeased.

The simple addition of a clause prohibiting discrimination against minorities and treating everyone equally under statutory law was already satisfying to him.

“That’s a relief. I still don’t know where the Panlinde people are… but sharing the profits from developing the northern mines might… be used for Shazrashian minorities. If that’s the case, allowing the Giants to develop and sharing the profits seemed like the right move—”

『Indeed. Or rather, you’ve thought more deeply and broadly than I expected. I used to think you were just like me… but—』

The White Reaper smiled.

『You’re beyond my expectations.』
