What it's about
It seems like Dark Lord in Kerning City wants to test whether I'm worthy of receiving his teachings. Kerning City's Dark Lord gave me a letter to deliver to the Thief Job Instructor, who I should be able to find somewhere at the Construction Site North of Kerning City. He said I'd learn the rest of the details there. At Construction Site North of Kerning City, I met Thief Job Instructor. He said he would test whether I was worthy of making the 2nd job advancement. Great! I told him I was ready for anything!
