chapter 4
4 – 2. Tag!(3)
Pro7 was a game with a lot of small settings and Eastern eggs.
For example, the student council president actually sleeps in pajamas, or the Latina actually has a trauma in her ears, so she always wears earplugs, or the protagonist is actually surprisingly quick-witted.
Somewhere behind Rathuum Gorge, there is a ‘Random Box’ where items from other worlds that one of the 10 strongest people on the continent found and neglected in school days come out at random.
After breaking up with Latina, I emptied my mouth and borrowed a standard item, a dagger, and a pipe-type staff, and I was fully prepared.
“Whoa. It’s dirty.”
[Dagger pipe-type staff] Could be used as a dagger, smoked as a cigarette, or used as a staff.
By the way, it was my first time trying a pipe, and it was quite tasteless.
The beginning of the year is also the best.
I didn’t smoke because of the taste anyway, so it didn’t matter.
I didn’t care what I saw around me and kept straight.
I don’t have a reputation to lose anyway.
Let’s clear the dungeon once.
It’s hard to move with this pig-like body, but it’s a must-do nonetheless.
This bastard’s stats are also dog sh*t.
[Dyers]
[Level 2 Wizard]
{Title: Crazy]
Strength 10
Stamina 7
mana 11
Dexterity 5
Will 2
[‘The curse of the devil’ is hanging. Deadline remaining: 364 days 7 hours 57 minutes 22 seconds]
[Status: Obesity, Depression, Pain, Sadness, Hatred, End of Life]
[Basic Attribute Magic Lv 2]
[Flame Attribute Lv 1]
[Unique Attribute: Ghost Communion Lv 3]
“…Could this kid come in because of irregularities in the entrance exam?”
To explain the strength of this status
The stats of the main character, Jenna, the basic Cain, are 100 in total, with an average of 20 per stat.
More than that, how on earth are two wills?
I tried lowering my stats just for fun, but it definitely never went below 10.
Wouldn’t it have been better to set the minimum stats to 10 10 10 10 10?
The average average person is between 5 and 10 per stat, so it’s just like a well-trained person.
You don’t even need to see Will 2.
Of course, I was in despair after seeing the amazing status, but it was too early to give up.
I collected my thoughts and analyzed the window calmly.
The curse of the tongue? What is this?
There was no monster called ‘Seolgwi’ in Proseven. So, is this a title for a person?
“It’s not particularly important right now.”
It doesn’t matter who put the curse on me, it matters how the curse is lifted.
“Flame type attribute, basic property magic… Huh? Unique attribute Ghost Communion?”
Ghost Communion.
This, like Seolgwi, was also a unique characteristic that had never been seen before.
The unique characteristic is the temperament that humans have. In other words, it could be said that it is a unique characteristic of the person given from birth.
[Ghost Communion: You can communicate with dead ghosts. The lower the proficiency, the greater the mana consumption.]
“…..You can communicate with dead ghosts?”
I could feel the thrill running through my body.
During 23,000 hours of play, there were no professions or characteristics that I did not master in this game, such as magic swordsman, power mage, black magic thief, cook, etc.
But this thing, this characteristic is different.
Simply put, a new job and delicious food were given to a deceased person who had eaten everything.
Now imagining the situation that will be created by applying this, it feels like the curse is disappearing.
“Gee, the time is a little vague.”
I have to hurry over there.
.
I arrived at the small mountain behind Rathuum Gorge and walked slowly along the cave below it.
I could feel the mana draining little by little as I lit the staff and went in.
I guess I’ll have to hurry faster than I thought.
After walking a little further, a stone gatekeeper doll and a door appeared.
“Stranger. Welcome to the dungeon,”
“Shut up.”
Without hesitation, I broke the stone doll and kicked in the door.
I’ve been here a few times, but now I’m going to make a skip button myself.
When I opened the door, the location changed to the forest and five goblins came out.
“Kirik!”
“Kreurreuk! Kirik!”
“Intruder!”
“[Basic Element: Fire]”
Concentrated mana at the tip of the staff, created 5 fireballs into the air and threw them.
I stabbed and killed the goblins one by one using the staff as a dagger.
You need to save your mana.
“Kiweek!”
“Kyaa!”
“Goblins are annihilated.”
Mana is dropping little by little, but that wasn’t a major issue.
The feeling of killing a goblin wasn’t very pleasant, but I couldn’t help it.
There is still a long way to go.
After killing all the goblins, the location changed again.
[Ghost Communion] Was particularly expensive, so I decided to save it for last.
“That’s it.”
It takes about 10 minutes to reach the last floor.
The shortest record was 1 minute and 30 seconds.
“You’re amazing to come this far,”
“Shut up.”
There are particularly dangerous monsters on the last floor, so you don’t need to be careful.
A normal person’s lifespan is a hundred years, but since I’m one year old, I have to live a hundred times harder.
“Whoa.”
It didn’t matter which monster appeared.
Now I am invincible.
As an exception, unless it’s ‘that guy’ whom I’ve only encountered twice in 23,000 hours.
“That was a wild idea. I know there’s no way ‘him’ will ever come out.”
I opened the door on the last floor before planting.
And.
“……No?”
And there was no one.
.
Raonjena.
Raised in the countryside from a young age, she was always a curious child.
Unfortunately, the world was too harsh to satisfy her vast curiosity.
Nevertheless, she never lost her smile.
Because the world looked so beautiful.
Clearly, the world was a harsh and dirty place, but she was still a child and did not know that fact.
However, after losing her family and being alone, the girl gradually began to realize that fact.
It’s not that the world was beautiful. She said that she was just being cared for.
The fact that there is no one anymore who will accept your foolish foolishness.
She laughed even in the harsh reality that was still hard for a young girl to accept.
Because she had no reason not to laugh.
People who left used to say that they always cheered up when they saw them smiling.
So I laughed.
Then the girl raised her sword.
A child whose home and family disappeared needed a weapon to protect himself in order to survive.
Someday, to protect the people you want to protect, just like your family.
To protect yourself that your family loved.
Unexpectedly, the girl’s talent for swordsmanship began to improve rapidly.
Around the time the girl was earning her own bread, flying flies began to swarm around her.
The pattern of the flies was always the same.
Please lend me some money just once.
My family is about to die.
If you wait a little bit, I will give you the overdue wages right away, so hold on.
She said that she was going to die because she was too tired.
Laonjena of the flower field, who never imagined that she would sell her family to scam her, was scammed so many times.
She was scammed out of money, betrayed in a dungeon, and sometimes stabbed in the back by someone she believed to be her friend.
Even though she raised her sword, she couldn’t lift her heart’s sword, so she was a good prey and a good protector for her flying flies.
Nevertheless, Raonjena laughed.
Her laughter was because it cost nothing.
Nevertheless, Raonjena’s world was still beautiful.
She did, but she didn’t get paid this time, so the fact that she had to move her place of residence again was a painful part for her.
Raonjena thought. If everyone in the world had a lot of money, wouldn’t everyone be nice?
People are actually all nice, but isn’t money making them mean?
As she was thinking that, she stopped her steps at a small bakery.
Raonzena thought again.
She said that if she had a lot of money, she would surely pile up a hundred or two hundred cream breads and eat them up.
She said she would like to share her cream bread with anyone who is tough enough to cheat. She wants to eat with you.
She wanders around like that, gets scammed again, and wanders around again and again…
Beatus.
And. Cream Bread.
Why did that little cream bread taste so sweet?
I tried to smile like a habit, but I couldn’t do it easily because my vision was red.
I don’t know.
I don’t know why I can’t laugh.
The senior I visited for the purpose of getting a hint for the exam was full of humor… And somehow he was a bit strange.
From the first meeting with her, ‘Pig’ Rani Puch. She’s kind of fat, but she’s not going to be so self-deprecating.
She had come to visit me prepared to be criticized, but let alone cursed at me, it was strange that she said such a thing.
For some reason, it seemed that she was reluctant to be a senior, but I felt that she was a good person.
For some reason, her throat was hanging and it was difficult to continue the conversation, but despite her slurred pronunciation, the senior happily nodded her head.
She is a good person.
Senior Dyers, not a pig, is a good person.
But what did she mean when she said ‘heroine’?
I’m not really that great of a person.
.
Raon Jenna regained her senses and looked around her.
“Oh.”
“I was… Scammed again.”
Jenna looked at the large wolf in front of her eyes.
At first glance, it was an enormous size that was almost twice that of a normal wolf.
I’ve never seen a wolf of that size before.
After parting ways with her senior Dyers, a group of prospective students approached her, who had run all the way south of her and arrived near the creek.
They didn’t say anything against cooperating with the exam, so they suggested we look for it together, and Jenna, thrilled to think she’d talked to her classmates, responded with that suggestion.
What was shown in front of a group of prospective candidates who were sucked into the stream and Jenna was a large cave. Jenna again agreed to the suggestion to go into the cave and search further, saying that she could feel the magic.
While we were all looking for hidden seniors to get a hint, we met that monster and were betrayed.
Surprised, the students immediately ran back the way they came from, and in the process they magically dropped stones to block the way they came from.
Of course, the guys who put Jenna in her vanguard saw her as a throwaway horse, not her companion from the start.
And what’s left… A wolf thirsty for food, blood.
“hahahaha… What should I do…? No, bye?”
“Kurururrr!”
Can’t win.
An ancient wolf roared.
“Wowaaa!!”
It’s scary.
Zena, who has caught 1st and 2nd tier monsters many times, couldn’t move her legs due to her monster’s roar.
The she-wolf rushed at her, stopping her swift movement.
Is this how you die?
You haven’t even eaten 200 cream buns yet?
Sensing her death intuition, Jenna thought of Dyers-senpai without knowing why.
‘If you were my senior… Would you have abandoned me…?’
What’s the use of thinking like that now?
“Kurrureurreuk!!”
The wolf leaped nearly 10m in an instant!
“Kiaaak! Don’t come here!!”
Feeling sorry for herself, Jenna squeezed her eyes shut.
“Whoa.”
Quad Deuk! Kwakjik.
“Huh.”
I heard something biting and snoring.
