jobs are upwardly compatible with lower-level jobs, and the experience required to level up does not change between lower-level and higher-level jobs, so not changing jobs is almost always a waste.

If you don’t change jobs, it’s probably because you’re trying to achieve a special condition for the job you aimed.

For example, if you pass level 70 without changing from swordsman to swordmaster, you will be able to become a [sword demon].

It is said that the more difficult the conditions for changing jobs are, the higher the performance of the job will be, so there were some players who continued to maintain their lower-level jobs in order to achieve this.

But well, even though we’re talking about this, the two of us here don’t have any luck.

“Changing jobs.
…how enviable.”

“That’s right.
I’ve learned from Sukuna that it is possible for Douji to change jobs, but… level 90 is too much for me.”

“I’m almost there, but even with that golem’s experience, I only got about half of what I would have gotten before leveling up, and it’s going to be a long road from here.”

We, who had chosen the special occupation of Douji, sighed as we made our way to Griffith.

This profession called [Douji] had nothing but limitations, with an exception for the passive effect on the stat that barely exists.

But it might be wrong to call it a hindrance since I’ve received a few extra quests and acquired some rare skills thanks to being a Douji.

“Well, look.”

After Meguru’s words, I turned my attention to the front.

From a distance, I can see that the exterior walls are a reddish-brown color, different from any other city I’ve seen so far.
I wonder if it’s because the material used for the walls is different from that used for ordinary walls.

“That’s Griffith, the fifth city.”

So that’s Griffith, the fifth city.

I’ve been to several cities, but there’s something else I noticed at first glance.

“It’s kind of small, isn’t it?”

“As I said earlier, the previous cities were too big.
The monsters that come out from the Griffith area become much stronger.
That’s why there are fewer players.
The average level of the monsters on the field differs by 15 levels between here and inside the giant labyrinth.”

Does this mean that the number of players who can reach this point is simply decreasing because of natural selection?

I thought it was the reason, but Meguru continued as if that wasn’t the only reason.

“In addition, unlike up to Fias where base only exists inside the city, from here on out, the number of towns and villages that serve as bases, like the oni village, will explode in numbers.
So a large city wasn’t needed here.”

It’s true that up until around Fias, most of the players gathered in the convenient city.

The city of beginnings in particular and large enough to easily accommodate tens of thousands of players.

It may still be crowded with players from the third and fourth waves, but that’s beside the point.

Up from the beginning of the game, a proper resting place to recover and replenish your item only existed in a large town.

But it will be different from here.

There might be a hidden village, a remote village, or an inn town.

In short, the number of possible bases for adventure will grow.

Therefore, there is no need to build a large city like the city of beginnings, Dualis, or Trillia to accommodate the players.

From Meguru’s explanation, I guess that’s the reason why Griffith is not that big.

“But still, Griffith is quite useful.
It’s the home base for [Dragon’s Fang], and it seems that the masters of the Round Table are also moved her base to Griffith these days.”

“Hee? Drago-san and Ah-chan home base? By the way, how is Shuya doing?”

I’ve missed Ah-chan a lot.

She is the clan leader of the [Knights of the Round Table], Arthur.

I’ve never seen her fight, though, but I heard she is the strongest swordsman in her clan.

Shuya, who fought by my side in the previous raid also a player who belongs to [Knight of the Round Table].
He was an aloof person, but he was a benefactor who risked his life to protect Rin-chan.

He was surprisingly well-informed and even introduced me to the players before the raid battle.
He’s probably a good guy.

“As for our plans for the rest of the day, we would only stop a bit in Griffith and move on immediately.
The reason is, of course, because our aim is the oni village.”

“How far is the village?”

“It’s pretty far.
It might take us three hours on foot, four if we including combat, and that’s already using the existing map.”

“Woah, that’s a long way.”

It’s like clearing one more giant labyrinth.

Now I’m really grateful for that warp point in the Volcano golem room.

The time now is just before noon.
If it took me four hours to get to oni village, I would still be in time for my evening visitor.

“In addition, the demon’s village is not subject to the effects of wings, so it is not possible to fly from here.
I have to work a little harder.”

“ah… that’s right, Traveler’s wing can only transfer you to the city.”

“The city is meant only the named city by the system.
Traveler’s wing could only take you to a city like city of beginning.”

Of course, it only says that you can choose a city as your destination, but you are free to fly from your village or village to the city.

If you think about it, Meguru might have lost a lot of time every time he fought that golem.

I’m pretty sure he set his respawn point in the oni village.

“I think we could still sightsee Griffith since we need to get through it.
It’s a good thing that the oni village is on the other side of the city.”

“I’m looking forward to the new city.”

After hearing various explanations from Meguru, we arrived at the main gate of Griffith.
After presenting my menu card in exchange for admission, I finally arrived at the fifth city.

It’s just that it seems smaller than most of the capital city or the city of beginnings, but Griffith is a big city in its own way.

However, this time, the two of us went through Griffith and went straight to the oni village.

Tl note

I made a mistake in the early chapter.

Regarding the dark weapon attribute, I thought it meant [darkness] attribute, but it turns out to be a “hidden weapon” (kanji written as a ‘dark device’) category.
Sorry about that.
I will fix the early chapter after this.

In my defense, it was deliberate wordplay using kanji by the author, I had my suspicion, but it didn’t fit the story at that time.

The kanji is like this 暗器.
If you read it separately, it becomes something like a dark device, dark equipment.
Yet it also read as Hidden Weapon.
