My journey outside of the residence was primarily driven by my job in the first place.
In a sense, it has been and has been my primary objective ever since I learned about jobs.
Alchemy was just something I decided to pick up out of curiosity and practicality, thus it can be stated that me being offered a job in this field was a mistake or coincidence.
I didn't really appreciate the significance of alchemy until I learned about Jobs, and I then understood that it should be used for much more than merely producing stuff.
I haven't yet encountered anything that is deemed legendary, and the highest grade I've encountered is Epic. Because every item in this grade was so exceptional, one might already guess how extraordinary and one-of-a-kind something considered legendary would be.
The black orb that raised my job's grade to unique could not be counted since, despite the fact that I haven't yet seen a legendary grade item, I had a sneaking suspicion that the grade of whatever that black orb actually was should be greater than legendary because if one were to adopt my line of reasoning, anything should at the very least be more potent than something ranked legendary to even have any impact on it.
Perhaps this thought of mine was correct or incorrect, but since there was no way to know for sure no matter how much I thought about it, I forced the thought from my mind and focused on the panel in front of me, especially the job section, to see if another panel would emerge and reveal information pertinent to my job.
Unexpectedly, a panel did form in front of me, and its subject matter was a matter pertaining to my job.
......
[Alchemist lord[Unique Grade Job]],
An Alchemist who is unique among Alchemists.
Those with this job have;
*A 100% success rate in producing unranked items and high-purity unranked pills.
*A 70% success rate when creating Rank 1 items and high-purity Rank 1 pill.
*A success rate of 2% to 30% when making high-purity Rank 2 pills and producing Rank 2 items.
*A broad knowledge base of unranked items to Rank 4.
.......
"This is...... unique, I suppose," I said as I read what I believed was the summary and benefits of my job on the panel again.
The first job I was given was as an alchemist, and it was of the legendary grade before the black orb I found in the first dungeon I ever entered elevated it to the unique grade.
I was still sceptical of the unique grade because I wasn't sure if that meant it was more potent than the epic and legendary grades or merely that it was unique regardless of the power it granted its possessor.
Speaking of strength, the Alchemist job's benefits alone demonstrated that it wasn't designed for combat. The alchemist I saw in the shop, who was in position 60 on the human leaderboard, should likewise be treated similarly.
I'm not sure how humans are ranked on the leaderboard, but I'm ready to take on that it has something to do with their combat prowess. If it were related to something else, like the grade of their jobs, then the Alchemist should not be at that rank on the leaderboard, except that every human that was ranked above him also had a legendary grade job or above, which I did not believe was possible except that things rated legendary weren't as rare as I thought it would be.
In each case, the job's perks were quite significant and beneficial.
For starters, based on what I can see, it appears that I would find it simple to create unranked high-purity pills, and when combined with my prior titles, it was virtually impossible for me to fail when creating a known-to-me pill. However, this would need to be further explored and tested by creating a pill.
I whispered to myself as I willed my thought through to the primordial chronicle to check my status, "I should first confirm the first benefits before I should even attempt to create a ranked item."

Then there is the so-called origin ability.
Apart from the name and the information making me think that it might be the most powerful skill I will ever encounter in the true world, what was strange about this was that it seemed like I could activate this ability with just a thought or instinct.
This instinct seemed to have been imprinted in me by the primordial chronicle as it was so difficult to ignore or forget the sensation.
But, before using the ability, I should double-check the information it contained.
[Transmutation],
Change the form, nature, or composition of an object or substance using magic.
...
As a scientist in my old world, I had of course come across the idea of transmutation several times. Transmutation- the process of transforming one element into another.
But since the subject was a case unto itself, I paid it little attention and instead concentrated on the problems that made the most sense and on which I could spend my time productively, rather than chasing a theory put out by idly curious scientists.
That's how I perceived them, at least up to this point.
From a scientific perspective, transmutation is a process that involves changing the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom to create a new element. This process can occur naturally through radioactive decay, or it can be induced artificially through techniques like nuclear fission or fusion.
But the idea of turning lead into gold, or creating an elixir of life, is purely the stuff of legend and myth. It has been dismissed by the scientific community as nothing more than wishful thinking and fraud.
But now that I was looking at the situation, there was no longer any doubt as to whether it was true or not because reality was right in front of me. Of all, there is no better proof than experiencing something firsthand.
I inhaled deeply as I considered this and made an attempt to activate my origin ability for the first time.
