Matan’s Shooter

Leeha’s smiling expression, like a child filled with joy and excitement instantly disappeared. Of course, his mother didn’t miss that moment.

“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing. It’s nothing.”

“Is the machine okay? Should we just get a refund?”

“No! No! No!”

Leeha hurriedly reached out his hands. Without the virtual reality connector, no, Middle Earth, he may never feel the sensation of his legs again.

“Just leave it. It must have been expensive. Thank you for buying it for me, mom.”

“What, that’s refreshing. Because my son is good, mom is good too.”

‘Could it have been only two hours in reality?’

It only took two hours for Leeha to connect to Middle Earth, create his character, swing a sword, get achievements and go to Class Tower to change his job.

‘It was only that much, but did I get hooked into it?’

Originally, he didn’t like the game, but now he thought it was amazing. So he was able to convince himself again.

‘This level of realism and addiction. It is obviously the power of money. Now only job-‘

And Leeha’s expression began to harden.

“Leeha?”

“Hmm?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Oh, it has a user call function. I’ll show you, so don’t unplug next time. Okay?”

“Yes. Okay.”

“Phone, phone!”

Leeha hurriedly pushed his wheelchair and turned to the phone.

As I left my dumbfounded mother behind, I had only one thought in my head.

‘It said I can’t log out when you’re choosing a job? What will happen to my job when that happens?’ Leeha only had Kijeong to talk to about Middle Earth so Leeha pressed his fingers to the predefined mobile phone number to call him, as his anxiousness grew steadily.

‘Fucked. I’m fucked!’

Leeha sighed while scrolling down the internet browser. As Kijeong did not answer the phone, he eventually looked for information on his own, and after searching for a while he found out a sad reality.

〈Title: I logged out after a power outage, but when I reconnected, why did I become a druid?〉 Logged out in the middle of choosing a job and became a Druid. How do can I revert this? Should I report it to the headquarters? In order to become a tanker, I deliberately chose the giant race, but my first skill was Summon Crows… … ah it’s crazy.

How embarrassed the person was. However, the answer to the community’s question is 90% ridicule and 10% sadness. The misfortune of others is the world’s happiness.

Pity. You have to wait to create your character again. Three or six months.

-=i =i =i =q ^ Giant Druid, that’s a good idea. The crow’s the size of a giant’s finger.

-In Japan, they reported it because of an earthquake, but Goople didn’t accept it..

-=1 =1 =1 =1 =1 =1 =1 There’s already been a court ruling in the U.S. too.. Goople wins…

-Say “I’m tight” 10 times while running around the fountain.

-i_ I can’t do that. It’s going to kill me.

These scams are the worst. But there are people who get caught fishing like this.

It takes three months to recreate after deleting a character.. … Just work hard with Druid… … Maybe later… … A nature-friendly job that uses animal power to strengthen one’s body or summon animals..

Until now, four months after opening, it was one of the professions that received vague evaluations, not as a tank, not a healer, nor a dealer.

When he saw the comments making fun of the original poster, Leeha got upset, but not as upset as the original poster was. He must have been in such a hurry that he followed the ridiculous comments.

‘Three months from character deletion to regeneration? It’s really too much.’

There is a certain degree on the pursuit of reality.

However, in a virtual, but definitely “real”, world where you can enjoy adventures, users test a bunch of characters as test characters, and only select the best and delete the other characters after getting a lot of information. And it wasn’t what Goople wanted, they did not want to get users with strong characters after a cycle after creating and deleting characters.

‘Yes, that’s why there are many stable options.’ Leeha thought for a while, even though there are a lot of races, the majority of users are made up of the human race.

It takes 3 months to recreate after deletion, but who would want to be lizard like Lizardfolk, or a cat-like Catfolk? The same goes for jobs.

Everyone knows that in any game, races and jobs that are rated above average were preferred.

‘There must be people with special tastes somewhere, This is enough to say that it is fortunate that characters cannot be deleted due to death in the game.’

With such a high level of difficulty and low information, the game that paradoxically ignites the players even more was Middle Earth.

‘No, there’s still hope. Anyway, I’m not going to change my job to something like a druid.

Looking at the unfortunate stories of many people, he found one thing in common. The job was not randomly assigned, but was forced to be confirmed as the job of the last weapon touched.

Anyway, one of the reasons that Goople received support is because the users were interested in the job and they touched the weapons.

‘Touched? Then it must be the last thing I held, right?’

Leeha traced his memories.

Obviously, he remembered his hand reaching for the wand. And?

‘Did I touch it? Ahh, It’s the musket!’

It seemed like he had his fingers closed before he got logged out.

If I connect to Middle Earth, I will know for sure, but I need to find courage before connecting.

Leeha searched for something else to gain courage.

Achievements. As for this, he had high expectations for himself that he might be ahead of other beginners like himself.

Even while searching, new articles were popping up in the community, and articles written this morning were pushed back by dozens of pages.

In this state, even if there is useful information, it will be difficult to find. He’d rather play the game instead of wasting time finding information that may or may not exist.

〈Title: Let’s see who else is a model student at the training center.〉

When I looked around, no one else can got it but me. Is this enough to be good at Middle Earth? No other person got it aside from me.

-Heol, What is that? Is it good?

-I also got it. The performance is pretty good at the beginning. Can you tell me?

-Please let me know.

-1_1_ How did you get it?? What is the effect?

-■&I don’t wanna tell ya.. All of you are my competition, so I don’t want you to know

-i_ Beauty, watch out for the giant druid later..

‘There were a few, but I’m proud of myself. No one has revealed how to get it.’

Even the information that was found only briefly mentions its existence. Fewer even told how it worked.

After all, there’s a lot of competition in Korea.

The game also shows a lot of affection and greed.

It would be natural, though, since I didn’t feel the need to clarify how I got it and what the effect was.

In addition, most of the articles on achievements and titles were only boasting.

Even though the “model student at the novice training center” showed some boastful texts, the information was so small that those who knew the joy of running did not even mention it at all.

However, there were exceptions among them, and achievements such as “Sold all the rabbit meat” or titles such as “blinded” were more or less publicized and shared.

It’s easy to guess even if you just hear the name, but it’s not very effective because you can only get it when you were relatively a beginner… … .

‘In other words, they are only sharing things that are not very important.’

Even the title “blinded” is a title that can only be obtained by looking at the sun for at least 15 minutes in Middle Earth..

‘The same is true of the achievement of Sold all the rabbit meat’..

Did the user get to level 9 by only catching rabbits from level 5? You need to hunt a total of a thousand rabbits?

Leeha shook his head without knowing. There are people who do this kind of hard work.

Should we be pleased that Koreans were the fastest in the world? In real time, there will not be many races that catch 1,000 rabbits in 4 days of opening.

‘Goople also posted a comment saying that it was surprised.. Heol, really. Anyway, my achievements are not just good. They’re also very good.’

So Leeha gathered this and that information and made up his mind.

Anyway, this won’t change my job again and it won’t remain unselected.

Whether it is porridge or rice, you have to open the lid.

“Huu.”

Pushing the wheelchair in front of the virtual reality connector.

This time, he talked to his mother, so that the same thing as before will not happen again.

Finally he grabbed and wore all the things he needed in order to connect. Leeha got a tingling sensation on his temple.

It took only a few seconds for the real Ha Leeha to move back to the Ha Leeha of Middle Earth.

This time, he didn’t even feel the falling sensation.

There was also no voice of artificial intelligence. Only the body that suddenly rattled and stood and the scenery that appeared in front of his eyes as if drawn, telling him that he was connected to Middle Earth.

“Also… … The class tower… … ” His eyes closed and opened. Intuitively, he could feel that the job change was over.

However, in his current state, he did not know what he has changed into.

“Please, please, please!!”

As soon as Leeha opened the character window, he saw.

Name: Ha Leeha / Race: Human

Job: Musketeer / Level: 1 (0%)

Title: None / Achievement: 2 HP: 160 / MP: 50

Stats:

Strength 13(+3),

Agility 13(+3),

Intelligence 12(+2),

Constitution 13(+3),

Mind 10

“Ah.”

His heart sank.

Leeha stared at the job on the floating character window.

“Musketeer?! Oh my god!”

“Kkak! What is that person doing?”

Frustration, rage.

However, to some extent, isn’t this what he had anticipated? His desire to find a realistic course of action was greater than the frustration that Musketeer was chosen.

“What, anyway, where are the supplies for this job?? Skill?”

Only then could Leeha feel the difference from the previous connection.

When Leeha turned his head in a certain direction, there was a flickering and irritating light in one corner, and he touched the light in front of him with a trembling mind.

[The job change is complete!]

[Class-specific items are provided.]

[You have acquired the lesser crude musket.]

[You have acquired 50 Black Powder.]

[You have acquired 50 Iron Ball Bullets.]

[Acquired a ramrod.]

“Ohh!”

Suddenly, a gun and a ramrod fell into the air. Leeha hurriedly reached out his hand and held it before the gun fell to the ground.

‘Gunpowder? Flint?’

When I opened the inventory window, I could see 50 folded paper bags and a ball of beads on one side.

The size of the musket and the stick is too big to fit in the bag.

‘Maybe the item’s attack is better.?’

But that couldn’t be the case with a name such as lesser crude musket.. It’s equal to a test musket.

Attack: 233, Range: 40m, these information made Leeha’s knees bend.

“Ugh…”

Then there is only one more light left.

Leeha, who had a rough sense on what it was, quickly touched it. Once the transfer is complete and given the item, there’s one next.

[You have learned the Skill Musket Mastery.]

[You have learned the Skill bayonet charge..]

“What’s this? Is this all?”

(To be continued…)
