[Please choose your profession.]
[Warrior]
[Mage]
[Archer]
[Priest]
From these four main professions, many other classes branch out.
Subedei was astonished that he could understand this unknown text as he quickly stood up from the goblin's corpse.
"What is this… stats, professions, and all that?"
"And the monster I just killed… Did I somehow come to a place that isn't my world?"
His heart pounded violently as waves of panic, fear, and disbelief crashed over him.
"Damn it… what the hell is going on?"
Though confused, Subedei took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, forcing himself to calm down.
"If this really is some kind of system, then I should use it."
"First, I'll choose a profession. Then I'll figure out where I am."
With renewed determination, he looked at the next message.
"A profession, huh…"
Resting his chin on his hand, Subedei fell into thought for a moment.
"Hmmm…"
"If I'm going to fight alone, then 'Warrior' should be the right choice for me."
With that thought, he decided on the Warrior class. Slowly raising his hand, he pressed the Warrior option.
Only then did Subedei notice that his fingertips were completely stained with green blood. Raising both hands, he saw that all ten fingertips were smeared with it and quickly wiped them on his clothes.
[You have chosen the "Warrior" profession.]
[Please choose 1 of the 3 professions that branch from "Warrior."]
[Berserker]
[Swordsman]
[??? King]
Subedei's gaze fixed on the most mysterious option.
"'??? King… Question marks, and the full name isn't even visible. This must be some kind of special, powerful class."
Having made his decision, he raised his hand to select "??? King."
The moment he pressed it, another message appeared.
[Are you sure?]
"Yes" "No"
Surprised, Subedei hesitated only briefly before pressing "Yes."
Instantly, a flood of messages appeared before him.
[Your class has changed to ??? King. Congratulations.]
[??? King: One who is fated to stand alone. ???????]

An unknown power surged through his veins. His entire body tightened as his muscles and veins became more pronounced.
Subedei felt lighter, stronger far more powerful than before. A joyful smile spread across his face.
"I don't know where I am… but now that I have power, I can't just sit around."
With that thought in mind, he looked around. Not knowing whether any direction would lead him out of this unknown place, he began walking toward wherever his eyes landed.
Behind him, the goblin's corpse lay with its neck crushed, blood still flowing.
The sound of wind whistling through the leaves filled the air, making it feel as though a monster could appear at any moment.
As Subedei moved cautiously forward, he spotted a thin yet sturdy piece of wood on the ground its tip sharp and hardened.
"When I was a kid, I played at fighting with sticks… Guess now it's the real thing."
Murmuring softly, he smiled and bent down to grip the stick.
A few minutes later, a familiar green figure appeared from within the bushes.
Just like before, a goblin approached him, a stone clutched in its hand.
The goblin noticed Subedei as well. With a hideous grin, it let out a savage shriek and charged.
This time, however, Subedei did not panic. Instead, he stood calmly, confidence filling his eyes as he awaited the attack.
The moment the goblin came close and threw its stone, Subedei easily dodged, slipped behind it, and drove the wooden spear into its back.
The wood sliced through the goblin's skin and pierced deep into its flesh.
As Subedei pulled the stick free, green blood splattered across his face and clothes.
Dropping the stone, the goblin screamed in pain and tried to flee.
Subedei gave it no chance. Grabbing its shoulder tightly and slamming it downward, he forced the goblin to its knees.
"Grahhh!"
Gripping the stick with all his strength, Subedei thrust it straight into the goblin's neck.
A sickening crack echoed as bone shattered. Green blood sprayed everywhere, flowing down the goblin's body.
[You have killed a "Goblin."]
Hearing the familiar sound, Subedei pulled out the stick, wiped the green blood from his face, and looked up at the sky.
It felt as though the sunlight was shining on him alone.
The sharp stench of blood drifted into his nose with the wind.
"I didn't expect to break a goblin's bones so easily… Amazing."
Thinking that, he softly whispered, "Status."
Instantly, an unknown screen appeared before him, and Subedei examined it carefully.
[Status]

Class: ??? King
Level: 0
Mana: 120
Strength: 10 (+2)
Agility: 10 (+2)

"Incredible. Even at level 0, my stats are already twice that of a normal human."
Grinning, Subedei tightened his grip on the sharp wooden weapon.
One of his hands was stained green from grabbing the goblin's shoulder.
Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves echoed from somewhere nearby.
Subedei frowned in surprise.
"Is my hearing and perception this sharp because I've surpassed human limits?"
The thought crossed his mind as he focused on the sound.
