Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 14.1

“Hmm.”

“W-What’s wrong?”

“I’m just… struggling to decide.”

“Ah, about the skills?”

Yeah. I have to choose one out of three. I wonder which one is the best.”

The choices were three: [Reaper of the Night], [Walker of the Night], and [Manipulator of the Night].

In my past life’s game, I chose… the first one, [Reaper of the Night]. It’s already quite strong at this point, but its evolved form boasts exceptional power.

However, as much as the promised strength is appealing… the other two below it are also incredibly intriguing. Plus, I’ve never seen their evolved forms.

Should I prioritize stability and go for the top one…?

In “World of Liberty,” the vast array of skills has numerous branches, and the easily selectable skill branches have been thoroughly researched.

As a result, when there are equivalent branches, each has its own characteristics and is adjusted to be of equal strength.

So, if I obtained the power of [Reaper of the Night] in my past life, it means that [Walker of the Night] and [Manipulator of the Night] also possess similar power.

It’s just… so exciting!

And maybe in this world, firepower isn’t necessarily the only justice.

“Hehe.”

“Hm?”

“Ah! S-Sorry… I made a weird face…”

“Haha…”

It seems like I got too excited.

But still, what a peculiar way of laughing.

From the depths of the house came the beautiful voice of Lady Evans, “Beryl, come here, dear. Lisa, show him the way.”

“Sure.”

“Yeah…”

I followed behind Lisa.

She kept glancing back at me intermittently.

Descending the stairs from the living room, contrary to the size of the house seen from the outside, there was an incredibly long corridor with doors evenly spaced on both sides, stretching endlessly.

“What!? What is this…?”

“Well… It’s Grandma’s magic… There’s only one correct door, so don’t get lost…”

“What happens if we get lost?”

“We get swallowed by Grandma’s abyss…?”

“Lisa, please hold my hand. I don’t want to die here.”

“Huh!?”

With too much fear, she trembled dramatically when I held her hand.

This way, we won’t get lost. Phew. Thank goodness.

“E-Excuse me…”

“Hm? What’s wrong?”

“H-Here, this way.”

Walking with her in her stiff steps.

But this scene… it’s quite eerie. It feels distorted and unsettling.

Phew… the witch’s house is truly fearsome. I mustn’t wander off.

“H-Here.”

“This one?”

I couldn’t discern the differences between the doors.

As Lisa reached out to open the door, the scenery that greeted us was completely different from what I imagined.

The ceiling was shrouded in darkness, and it was impossible to see through, with a space three times the size of a gymnasium from my past life. Bookshelves filled every inch of the walls, with no gaps between the books.

Apart from the walls, there were many shelves of similar structure, lined with various items that seemed to be magical tools.

“It’s the first time a human has entered my treasure trove. Be proud.”

“Yay! I’m the first one! So happy!”

“Haha. Is this how you’re going to talk from now on?”

“No, ma’am. I apologize. It’s a great honor.”

Returning from his odd dance to seriousness, Lisa, who was about to dance along, seemed to slump with a ‘Guh!’ of disappointment.

“Now, I’ve prepared these shelves for you. I’ve set out items for exchange, subtracting the excess from the Ancient Rock Lizard’s magic stone to the Magic Bag, so please choose one item you want.”

“You’re sneaking in the Magic Bag’s share too.”

“Well, it’s a trade. Lisa knows all about how to use it.”

“Understood. Lisa, please guide me.”

“Uh, um… yeah…”

Lady Evans left, saying, “Well, you seem to have become friendly… Haha. I’ll leave the rest to you two.”

We were left alone.

Regaining composure, I checked the shelves presented to us.

Some useful magical tools… Hmm. Surprisingly, there doesn’t seem to be anything particularly useful.

There’s a Roomba, which I was a little interested in, but it’s a downgraded version of what’s used in the living room. Besides, our house is small, so I feel like sweeping would be faster.

“Ugh… Is Lady Evans teasing me!? There’s only some worn-out stuff here…!”

“Haha.”

“Hey, hey, Lady Lisa. Which one do you think is good?”
