Vol. 8 - Ch. 404 - The strongest male job by the crazed developer camp!

"Then, to our last member. Reglam, if you can.""Understood."

Reglam, the sole boy in the sub-guild, cooly responded to my requests and stood up from seat. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

——A young scion of the noble house.

This was how I would describe his appearance in a few words. With his platinum blonde hair done in mullet style, a pair of deep blue eyes that gives him a refreshing vibe, and at last, the sparkly that surrounds him—He was like those male protagonists fresh out of the maiden game!

"The name is Reglam, from ‹Combat Department Class 1-8›. My job is ‹Star Scion LV22›, specialized in vanguard attacker position. I had been heavily indebted to Zephyr before, so I took the liberty to join the guild when presented with the opportunity. However, I will do my best to not be the burden. That said, I will be under your care."

Everyone applauded as he introduced himself simply.

After that, they naturally followed with the question they were most curious about.

"Nice to meet you. I am Sierra. So, what is it that made you heavily indebted to Zephyr?"

"Yeah, I am also curious. What did he do this time?"

"Hey, Lana. Can you stop sounding like I am always causing trouble here and there?"

I immediately demanded Lana to correct her outrageous comment about me. However, she just replied back with 'what do you mean by you do not?' gaze. Argh, so vexing!

Setting that aside, most of the girls, much like Sierra and Lana, appeared intrigued by the topic and focused their attention on Reglam, eager for him to spill the beans.

Reglam himself was taken aback by the sudden development, and continued.

"Ah, well. You can say it's just me making a big deal out of it, while it might be a trifling matter for Zephyr. In fact, the only reason I was able to acquire ‹Star Scion› was due to Zephyr's advice. At least, that’s what I firmly believe."

"Advice, huh. I really didn't know anything about it."

"Aha~, well. It's not just anyone you know. Once in a while~?"

The girls showered me with 'not again' gaze hearing Reglam's words.

I would like to plead my innocence, your highnesses. There was a proper reason behind it.

Let's see, though I forget the exact time when it happened. I chanced upon a sparkly boy fervently practicing sword at the training ground at night. His face was clouded with a subtle expression. I recognised him as a member of the ‹Baron› category person the instant I noticed that sparkles, which was their symbol.

Frankly speaking, ‹Baron› category was the oddest among the bunch in ‹Dungeon Activity›. Let's start with their symbols. In contrast to the symbol ‹Choker with Mic design› that girls carry with themselves, male member's symbol was the sparkly effect.

Now, you may wonder what the heck does that mean? In a few words, the male from the ‹Baron› category goes all sparkly no matter what they do. It didn't matter if it was the simplest gesture like brushing their hair or turning their body to sword practice, they would literally shoot off sparkles!

To add into that, they also sported striking features since they could acquire ‹Charmer› jobs. In fact, you wouldn't be able to find even a single person who wasn't good looking among the bunch.

A well-groomed man that gives off glittering shine was the common impression of every ‹Dungeon Activity› player.

Of course, that much was hardly enough to give it the crown of oddest category. If you were to ask what made them different from the rest, then it was the treatment toward males of ‹Baron› category.

For starters, it wasn't hard to guess that all the impressive girl character design and powerful female specific jobs were all a way to capture the heart of male players. And the poster child of this strategy was, needless to say, ‹Princess Job›.

So far, all good. However god knows what kind of prank goes into the brain of a certain developer, as he proclaimed "Since we have 'Princess Job›, don't you think there should be ‹Scion Jobs› as well?"

Actually, I wasn't much privy to the information since it was something I had only read in the magazine interview articles, but to cut short, the developers had split into two groups on this. One in approval, one in opposition.

In the end, the group that endorsed it pulled all-nighter and managed to create two low-ranking jobs, driven by their burning enthusiasm. But, they were a blank slate afterward and that inevitably brought the project to a standstill.

However, that was when a miracle occured. When the developer in-charge woke up next time, he was presented with the sight of a full-fledged ‹Scion Job› template. Apparently, "But why I don't remember creating it" was what he uttered when he saw that.

It was beyond imagination for me. Seriously, they should already be announced as the 8th wonder of the world. Either way, since it was something that developers had poured in their sweat, night, and even sanity to make it reality, it was made available only for the ‹Baron› category.

‹Scion Job› was no different from ‹Princess Job›. It means its strength was simply on the same ceiling. However what made the difference was the fame requirement (scout value). In ‹Baron› case, it was a mere 20 points, unlike 150 for ‹Princess›. It was just as strong a job well.

Like, come now. How could developers pull off one of the bizarrest stunts without batting an eyelid but not handle their scouting value. It’s just who asked that other jobs of ‹Baron› except ‹Scion› happened to be no better than paper tigers kind!

The titles of 'Baron' and 'Viscount' had a unique specification in that the job roles associated with them could be held by men and women differently. The insanity of developers was ridiculously strong like ‹Scion›.

Well, no matter how much we, the players of ‹Dungeon Activity›, advocate the philosophy of 'Ikemen, explode', we still could only grit our teeth to use the job with the benefits it came with. In fact, there were even quite a few who ended up liking the cool hunk in the end. They had become what they used to hate. Guh, they had got us on that!

Ahem, I digress. But back to the point, ‹Star Scion› was one of the ‹Scion› category jobs. The job was like that bumper bonanza sale offer, which not only specialized in attack, but also healing, buff and debuff and even skills in horse riding. A true master of the sword and an adept in utility—what else could it be named if not the paragon among the noblest!

Choosing to bolt from it was like tossing aside the opportunity to wield a certain caliber sword!

Only an idiot would do it. I, of course, opted for them quite a lot of the time when I was still learning the ropes of ‹Dungeon Activity›. ‹Star Scion› and ‹Scion Idol› really saved me many times from whooping. Oh, and ‹Scion Idol› was an idol category job so it was buff oriented.

After my dream became reality, I also thought I would like to have them in my guild as well. That said, you never know what the fate had in store for you. I only thought of a 'what if' scenario like if he actually succeeded, our guild would have a new powerhouse. I honestly wasn't expecting much and gave the advice—just a slight information on how to clear the condition, really—on passing moment . But who could have thought he would actually succeed, and even more so, would fall in the lap of ‹Eden›—I mean join us.

I really wanted to pat my past self.

And speaking of the person himself, he honestly felt a debt of gratitude over this matter. So he really participated in the interview with a passion that was incomparable to other members. While other boy's eyes were following girls, his gaze was solely focused on the trial.

This was a piece of information I heard later. Reglam already had a fiance so he wasn't interested in other girls even in otherwise case. The guy was already ahead of many normies. To be honest, I was a bit envious of the fact as well internally.

He also said that they also had great resistance to women since childhood because of how dashing the ‹Baron› lineage was, though his tone was laced with bitterness when he said that. I didn't ask any further.

Anyway, he received a green lit from Celestine's character profile survey as well so everything was hitch-free.

And so, the 10th member of the ‹Arc-Arcadia› was the sole boy in it, ‹Star Scion› Reglam.

All I have to say is, welcome to our abode!
