Chapter 4: 4

If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again




Players had levels that were different from ordinary people.

Levels are said to be able to kill quests or creatures and increase their desired stats by gaining points when they level up.

It's hard to understand because you have to go through it yourself.

“But how do I get a quest? Does it come out of nowhere like today? ”

I remembered I had received a quest in battle this morning. And I definitely didn't mean to, but I also completed a quest.

Oh, my God! You have already completed the quest. Too bad. It was a chance to level up.]

“What are you talking about? I didn't know it was a quest. I just caught a Goblin. ”

[Quests are random. Luck in a word! You've done well to break the quest. You didn't get experience because you completed the quest without ever opening the status window.]

“How do I open it if I don't know anything? And until just now, I just knew I was crazy. ”

I knew I was crazy, not empty words.

Anyone would think that if they saw a strange voice suddenly heard and a box floating in the air.

If I had known the status window in advance, I could have experienced it as a level-up, but it's a bit too bad.

[I'm afraid I can't help it. You've still activated the status window, so you should be able to get experience from now on! Ah, you've completed the quest, so you must have received your reward?]

“Wait… archive. ”

I removed the Quest Reward Box (F) from the Stash more skillfully than before. The quest reward box in your left hand was only one box smaller than a square.

[That's the quest reward. Classified by quest grade as FEDCBASSSS. Of course F is the worst reward and SSS is the best reward.]

“So how do you use this? If it's a box, it's holding something like a locker. ”

[Oh! Luckily you don't have such a bad head. Grab the reward box with your hands and tell them to unlock it.]

“Unbox. ”

Tyring! [You got a Minor Strength Potion (1)]

The box in her hand disappears when she shouts, "Unbox it," and a new notification sounds at the same time.

“Strength Potion? Lyka, I heard you got some Strength Potions. ”

[All items obtained through Reward Boxes are automatically placed in the Stash. Check your locker.]

Listen to Riika and open the locker.

[Lesser Recovery Potion (4), Lesser Strength Potion (1)]

A new item was kept in the locker.

“What does the Minor Strength Potion do? ”

If it's strength, it means power to know.

It's not a Recovery Potion, it's a Strength Potion. I could never guess what it was for.

[When used, increases the user's Strength by 1.]

“... Strength means strength? But how can it increase my strength...? ”

As a layman, I'm familiar with healing potions, but I've never heard of potions that increase my strength.

Honestly, it doesn't make any sense. Eating potions increases your strength.

[You'll find it easier to try it yourself.]

As Rika said, I pulled the Strength Potion out of the Storage to try it out myself. If you don't understand, you should try it yourself, just like you used the Recovery Forge before.

“Is it enough to eat it like a potion? ”

[Phew... You don't know anything. Don't you think there's a game at this level? Haha! I don't think so!]

I don't know if I'm mistaken, but I could feel Rika's frustration with the words on the slate.

“I'm sorry... but I've never been through this before. Are you talking about chess? ”

The only game I know is chess.

Of course, I never learned.

Chess is mostly a game that rich people and nobles like to play. In addition, the continent is not a friendly place for ordinary people to play games for free.

[Chess... Ha, ha, no. You can drink the potion yourself, but you can also say 'Use’. Would you say "Use Minor Strength Potion"? Of course, you'll need to hold onto the items you want to use.]

“Use lowest power potion. ”

The potion in your hand disappeared at the same time as you shouted, but nothing special changed. No, I didn't notice any change, exactly. I literally just lost the potion.

“Is this the end? You said you were strong. But..."

Apparently, there was no increase in power at all.

In case you were wondering, I looked at my muscles with my arms raised, and there was no change in my arm.

[Increased stats will not change your body. But the actual applied capability will be different.]

“… but you were strong, right? I'd like to check it out. ”

I nodded with a vague look on my face.

Although it was difficult to understand how the force increased when the muscles were intact, it was somewhat reasonable because the player system itself was incomprehensible.

[I recommend that you check it out after hearing all about me. I disappear after a while.]

I haven't seen him very long, but I got Rieka's unexpected parting notice. I was very embarrassed by that.

“No... why? I don't know much yet. ”

I hurriedly shook the slate with both hands.

Even the odd player system I've never experienced before hasn't been able to get rid of their opponent properly, and he's gone.

We need to explain exactly how this system works and disappear.

[There are many beginners besides Kaiyan! So will you just keep listening to me?]

“Ha... Okay. ”

After that, Rika continued to explain the player system with great speed and enthusiasm, and I was able to compress Rika's story into one or two pieces.

First, unlike normal items, items for players have additional abilities on them.

Second, the stronger the creature, the more EXP it gives.

I constantly muttered, deeply engraving Rieka's story in my mind.

In a short period of time, countless stories and lithographs of Rica glow.

[Unfortunately, it's almost time.]

“Wait! Then we won't see each other again, will we? ”

I felt too bad that I broke up with Rica who had given me so much information.

I didn't tell you that. When Kaiyan levels up, you'll see me! I won't see you if I'm late!]

“Level up? How much? ”

Rica, a beginner's aide, is an important informant.

That's why I wanted to see Rieka again soon. The deeper I know about the player system, the faster I will get stronger.

[You'll find out later! Well, it was a pleasure meeting you!]

“Wait a minute! One last question.... Why me? ”

Yes?

“Why was I chosen as a player? ”

Taking Rieka's description into account, the player system is a system that helps users grow.

But I didn't understand why it chose me.

[That... I don't know. Haha. I'm just a beginner's helper. But I know that this system will never do any harm to Kaiyan.]

“Don't apply it badly. Ha..”

I sighed for a little relief.

Honestly, I was willing to use this system as long as it gave me the power to catch monsters, even if it was used badly. The vengeance against monsters was strong enough.

“Liekah, I'm still wondering if this is a dream. What the hell is all this...... But if it's all real... ”

I bowed my head deeply against the slate.

This is the best thank you I can do right now.

“…… Thank you so much. ”

Suddenly, the player system not only provided me with precious recovery potions but also increased the strength I lacked. And the future of growth.

[It's not a dream, so stay sharp! Goodbye...]

As the slate crumbles into dust, the dust flows down through your fingers.

When I saw the dirt on the floor, I grabbed my hands.

What happened to me is still unrealistic, but one thing is clear.

The fact that I was no longer ordinary at the beginning of today.

“Player... This will kill more monsters. ”

Why I volunteered to join the Alliance. And why we're obsessed with monster hunting.

“I'll dry your seeds.... ”

Monsters broke into my little town three months ago. A really sudden invasion of monsters.

My village, without even proper soldiers, died cruelly by monsters, including my family.

‘Father, Mother and Rain…’

After that, I volunteered for the army, thinking about revenge against the monsters.

There wouldn't have been an army to welcome a young boy like me, but it was monster wave season, so I could join the army easily and thanks to that, I'm here now.

“Kaiyan! Are you in there?! ”

I heard Jeff's voice outside the tent as I was pledging revenge to the monster.

Did the war end because of the punishment? ’

The man I know doesn't retreat until the war is over.

Out of the barracks, Jeff was wiping his armor with a cloth covered in green blood.

“Jeff, have you caught a lot of monsters? ”

“Haha! Of course! Do you know how many Orcs I caught today? ”

Jeff proudly took out the bag on his waist, opened the bag full of Orc ears and showed it to me.

“You're making a lot of money today? Are you hurt anywhere? ”

“Are you worried about me? Haha! Dude! I am Jeff Calais! Don't you know worry is a luxury? ”

I said that, but seeing Jeff's face, it seemed to satisfy my concern.

‘Cause it's just us now. ’

Since yesterday, the two of us, who have become two men, have become more dependant on each other. Due to the nature of the perimeter units, it was not easy to recruit.

“More importantly, Kaiyan, what happened to your leg? Were you cured?”

“Oh, well... I was lucky to meet the priest who cured me yesterday. This is how I was treated. ”

When I pulled up my hem, my white but strong thighs came out.

Clean thighs with no scars, like when you were injured.

I thought about what happened to me at the moment, but I didn't tell Jeff.

Until I adapted to the player system to some extent, I needed to keep it a secret from others. And I doubt you'll believe me if I tell you.

“Good. You know how to use a sword better than that? ”

“You can't... play with them with wooden swords when you're a kid, right? ”

“... Will it work? ”

What chance does a mere 15-year-old boy have of wielding a sword?

Jeff motioned to me as if he was worried about my answer.

“Well, I can't help it. I'll show you the basics. Come out with your sword. ”

“…… Yes? ”

“Come out when you want to teach. We don't stand a chance. ”

“Yes… yes! ”

You rush out of the barracks with your sword.

Jeff seemed to be good with a sword, so he was looking forward to it. And learning skills from someone is a really rare opportunity.

“Draw your sword and grab it. ”

“Like this?"

It was not hard to pick up the sword more than I thought, whether it was due to increased strength by 1 or whether the original sword was light. Of course, swinging a sword is a different story.

“This is the Black Arming Sword you're holding. One-Handed Sword. Easy to use. Cut and stab.”

“Cut and stab.... ”

Jeff taught me some useful skills, such as how to hold the grip of the sword, and how to swing the sword properly.

A proper swordsmanship compared to what they showed us at the Soldier's Training Hall about stabbing wood spears.

“Practice my moves every day for the next hour. Well, it'll be hard to see the effects in a short time, but it'll be a big help someday. Hah... And don't act dangerously just because you learned a little sword for no reason. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

Jeff ended up in the barracks, and the rest of me continued swinging the sword as I learned. I couldn't rest because I was anxious to go into battle tomorrow with a sword I'd never used before.

“Ugh... ugh...”

It's been about an hour since I sweated all over my body.

Tiering! [Beginner Slash (D) Skill Created]

You will now hear some familiar notifications indicating that a skill has been created.

“Swordsmanship? Skill is definitely... skill spear. ”

[Skill]

Usa:

PS: Beginner Slash

I opened the skill window for the first time, but the skill window was embarrassingly humble. There is only one skill, a freshly crafted sword.

"PS… Passive Skill?" It was a skill that was applied at all times, subject to conditions. For more information, use your hands…. ’

Tyring! [Beginner Slash (D): Can be used more naturally with sword raised, +10% Attack Power]

When I touched the skill window with my hand, it gave me a more detailed description of the skill.

‘I don't know about increased Attack Power or anything like that, but I can see that the sword is becoming more naturally available. ’

The silent tail rises small.

If what you're saying is true, you can use the sword a little easier.

“Haaaaa!”

You swing your sword into the air to try out your skill's abilities.

Whoo-hoo!

There is a strong wind sound from the swing, which is definitely the effect of the skill, rather than the previous one. It feels natural to know that you have to swing like this.

“It's nice... but I think I can work on this a little. Skill is not as good as I expected. ”

It wasn't what I expected, but I was satisfied with the effects of the skill.

Thanks to my sword skills, I got rid of my rookie tee for the first time.

“.. but I look forward to tomorrow. ”

My heart trembles with anticipation.

Until this morning, I was finished with a shoddy wooden spear, but tomorrow I'll be waiting for you armed with increased strength, iron swords and swordsmanship skills.

*?????? *?????? *

Like a picnic, I only fell asleep at dawn to calm my mind, but I didn't think I was tired.

The excitement was too far ahead.

Jeff, who finished preparing his sword with a simple warm-up, approaches.

“Kaiyan, are you ready? ”

“Yes, I'm ready. ”

After following Jeff out of the barracks, the people who finished their breakfast early started to gather one by one.

Monsters didn't wait for people to relax, so to reduce their damage we need to finish preparing before they start attacking.

“Kaiyan, I've never used a sword before today, so you should be more careful. ”

“Yes, I'll be careful. ”

Phew! Phew!

When we went with Jeff to the designated outpost camp and waited, the horn sounded out in the plains as it did yesterday.

‘Calm down. You can do this. ’

I wanted to rush out and test the abilities of the player system to the monsters, but I forcefully calmed down and looked at the central commander in case I made a mistake because of the excitement.

“Ballista away! ”

The voice of a commander in a magic loudspeaker.

The first of the war always flowed with yesterday. Spread as many monsters as possible with enough ranged attacks and fire.

It seemed dangerous for large monsters to charge together, so it was most important to scatter the monsters as much as possible before the alliance attacked.

“All forces.....”

After a while, the monsters were scattered by ballistas and magic, and the commander who was watching lowered his hand.

“Attack!”

“Attack the whole army!! ”

“Knights charge!! ”

When the commander gave the order, the nearby commanders shouted for a blow to the neck. The scream spread as fast as the waves across the alliance, and suddenly all the soldiers were running screaming.

“Let's kill him! ”

And that goes for me too.

You scream at the monster and run like crazy toward the outskirts of the area one foot ahead of the other soldiers. To kill one more monster.

“Queek? Queek! ”

The first monsters I met, the outskirts, were Goblins.

He ran like crazy with a dagger to see if he'd found me, too. Threatening enough as it was yesterday.

“Phew... Haab! ”

Take a big breath and spit it out. Stretch out your sword with your swordsmanship instinct.

Phew!

Before the Goblin could even wield his dagger, my sword was stuck in his neck.

“Phew... Phew! ”

“Die!”

Pow!

When I applied power to the sword in his throat, he was half cut off and mumbled, and slowly collapsed, spurting blood out of his mouth.

“Am I... this easy? ”

I did what I did, but even I was surprised to look at the sword with my right hand alternately. And soon my eyes were filled with confidence.

“… good. You can do it. ”

Unfortunately for Goblins, I and I yesterday are just like everyone else.
