Chief
“Whoa….”
I got off the indoor bike and wiped the sweat with a towel. After sitting for a long time, I feel like my groin is floating. Still, the muscles are definitely stronger than before. My legs got heavy, but not to the point where I couldn’t walk.
‘···nice. What the hell kind of gear is up to 200?’
I stumbled and sat down to find an empty space. During a break, I took out my phone and checked the systems I had seen before.
It’s been two weeks already. I still have vivid memories of that time. It looks like it was cleared yesterday.
Two weeks ago, I cleared two main quests, ‘Suspicious Village’ and ‘Necromancer’s Assault’ over just two days.
The worldview, which was influenced by the vicious difficulty of hardcore, originally caused events that occurred only after the midterm exam was over at an early stage.
That too while doing other main quests.
Because it was unexpected, I was not prepared, but I was able to clear it safely because I knew the flow of the scenario and the strategy.
The memory of seeing the system called ‘renewal’ at that time for the first time makes chicken skin grow all over my body even if I recall it now.
‘As soon as the main story started, there was a bad ending…’
Anyway, I cleared the Necromancer’s attack and got a reward and a few changes.
First, as a result of checking the 51st perk, ‘Sensitivity’, obtained as a clear reward, it had a very useless effect at present.
The effect of ‘sensitivity’ is ‘gate detection’.
It’s like a sixth sense that can be noticed before the omens of the gate appear. This is a useful effect when you go outside or when the protection of the tower disappears. This is a phenomenon in which the ‘Necromancer’s Assault’ happened early, so the perks that can only be used at that time have already been obtained.
I lifted the screen and finished reading the systems below.
[▶Noah Park has developed a little bond with her colleagues.]
‘Park Noah also approached safely with a good attitude.’
As I listened to the story, Noah Park became closer with the main characters of Class A through this event. It was in the reverse order of the original, but it was a good phenomenon in the end.
‘What I felt this time was that hardcore doesn’t necessarily have a bad effect.’
Variables caused by hardcore.
As the situation rapidly changed due to the level of the leveled up mobs, the main characters felt the seriousness of the situation and acted on their own.
In particular, it was a good phenomenon that Oh Yun-ha, who broke away from the story at the beginning, returned to the event instead of Park No-ah, unlike the original.
Even this time alone, the level of the bosses was lowered.
When I heard from Noah Park about that time, the beautiful Hector’s pattern was rather monotonous. It seemed that the difficulty of the test was lowered by itself according to the level of the protagonists who did not grow up.
The reason for appearing so quickly seems to be because the main characters might not be able to handle the corpse demons.
‘Choi Ye-chan-eun… Ji was an asshole.’
It is said that you cleared it safely, but it was beneficial in the long run that ‘Necromancer’s Assault’ had already been completed.
Thanks to Arihan Hector’s resignation, the traitors who sympathized with him have already been caught. Of course there were among the wizards, but they were able to filter out all the civilians who sympathized with them.
This will have a very good effect on the security of the future Yoosung Academy. And there were additional rewards.
[▶Additional Reward: Fixed event ‘Destruction of the Black Hawk’ disappears]
Of course, the fixed event is extinguished because Ryu Seo-yeon survived. With this, you can expect to strengthen the weaponry of firearms in the second half of the scenario. Moreover, the biggest change was the ‘butterfly effect’.
[Butterfly Effect]
[▶Hong Jae-Yu: Talent Blooming – Magical Swordsmanship 魔劍星]
[▶Layer: Resurrection, Remaining Life +5Y]
[▶The relationship with the tower will be improved, the erosion will be accelerated in the aftermath of the ‘Layer’ resurrection.]
Hong Jae-yoo, who was not even mentioned in the original work, suddenly developed the talent of demonic swordsmanship. Although it is not displayed on the status window, Park Noah’s talent is similar to that of a martial artist who can handle all weapons.
‘But after that day, what are you doing so you don’t go to school?’
So I didn’t even ask what happened. Even if he asked Lee Dae-soo, he said he didn’t know exactly. I don’t know what the magic sword castle is, but anyway, if I keep carrying this guy with me, he’ll grow into a good power.
Leight, who was sent off early, was surprisingly resurrected by the ‘manager’. Although he’d only be resurrected, he’d only hold the soul in the body for five years.
‘This is also a method that only those from the top can do.’
Resurrection is not a perfect power, and the risk of it accelerates the ‘erosion’ of the tower. Even with that in mind, keeping the layer alive meant that something was going on between Top and Yoosung Academy.
The Necromancer’s attack serves as the starting point for the relationship between the Tower and the Meteor Academy to be twisted. However, whether it was because of the early suppression or what was happening there, the butterfly effect that the relationship improved rather occurred.
Well, it’s a quest that takes at least 3 days to clear even in a normal game.
Even if I collected the main characters in advance, I cleared them in less than a day, so it can be said that the Meteor Academy’s response is good.
‘… Accelerated erosion is not a good thing.’
Well, they weren’t stupid and they had a reason to do so, so they would have saved the layer. You said that a lot of the top heroes died, so maybe there was nothing to be done.
When I was done organizing so far, I put my phone in and drenched my throat with a bucket of water.
[Special. 68 – The effect of ‘Healthy Medicine’ is activated.]
Whoa. Quench my thirst, I think I’ll live a little. It feels like the power is coming back.
“···Well?”
Just as I was about to get up again, I found a person who was not fit for the training ground. For some reason, Aiden appeared at the training ground. Are you finally trying to build up your stamina?
As I got up, Aiden found me and approached me. Like the first time I saw it, she tied her silver hair into one, revealing the nape of her neck. The uniforms are the same as back then. But there was something on his face that was puzzled.
As soon as Aiden approached, he pointed towards the front door and asked.
“···saw?”
“A deer was tied up in front of the training ground? It was quietly eating grass…”
Aiden was gibberish as if he didn’t know what he was talking about.
What, what did I want to say?
I said quietly.
“It’s mine.”
Aiden asked if he thought he had heard it wrong.
“Is that what Jihan is raising?”
“Didn’t you tell me? I brought you here on the last expedition.”
“Why is that… No, but it’s not a dog or a cat, and it’s okay to have a deer?”
“They said it was unprecedented. But even if they saw the ball, they asked me to look at it just once.”
After all, it was me who overpowered Choi Ye-chan. Thanks to this, the compensation was received and the urgent financial difficulties were solved.
At my words, Aiden looked at me blankly, as if at a loss for words.
“Anyway, I thought about the exercise. A wizard must have good stamina.”
“…how can you not come to this riot?”
Aiden looked tired and took out the screen of his cell phone and showed it to me.
[Jihan: Aiden. Let’s go exercise.]
It was a message I sent periodically every day. I don’t know what kind of mess this is. It was just encouraging them to exercise together.
“Still, that’s why you decided to exercise, right? I’m satisfied with that alone.”
“····Uh, Jihan-san. Do you know that it has become very strange these days? It seems that a lot of the unique leeway that I usually have is gone.”
“I just felt like I wanted to live a hard life while going through a lot of things. I think you should not only study but also build up your stamina.”
It was necessary to prepare not only myself but also everyone for the future scenario. Among them, Aiden, who was weak in physical strength, was the most urgent.
If Aiden’s stamina had been basic during the last attack, he would have been able to create more diverse routes.
This is preparation for him. It seems like you are raising a guy who will become a villain in the future, but that’s an opportunity to feel inferior.
“Anyway, I brought another one for you, but that’s good. No water? Drink this instead.”
“Uh, are you going to give it to me?”
Aiden’s expression brightened and he took the water bottle I handed him.
“Drink it first.”
Aiden opened the lid and sniffed first, then inhaled slowly. And he frowned as he tasted it.
“Ugh. Write… is this a drug? What kind of drug is it?”
“It’s the deer you saw earlier.”
Aiden’s eyes widened and I pointed over my head.
“You didn’t see a single horn on your head, didn’t you?”
What I drank earlier and what Aiden drank was antler juice. The color was unusually white, so it was easy to mistake it for milk.
The reason for bringing the deer was a bit of a long story. Being a spirit creature is a state of increased intelligence, so it is possible to communicate a little. That was the case with the deer I was aiming for.
The deer, who was shot in the leg and fell, howled and broke one of its horns and handed it to me.
I thought I was going to eat one and leave, but after having an in-depth conversation through body language and drawing, he wanted a safe place to live because there were a lot of guys like me who came after their horns.
So I made a deal.
Instead of killing him and receiving regular horns one by one, I decided to raise him at the Meteor Academy. I could even ride on a spirit creature, so I had nothing to lose.
‘It is said that antlers hurt when cut, but it seems to be an exception to the fact that Ji breaks himself.’
For reference, her name is Sum. I was shy so I didn’t tell others.
“···town.”
Aiden, who heard my story, shut his mouth. Well, what do you do when a medicine that is good for your body is used in your mouth? You have to tell me why you need to keep drinking so that you can keep drinking.
“By the way, it’s an elixir. If you drink it every day, it will be more effective than if you just exercise.”
“······Do this every day?”
“Yeah. Because it’s a spirit creature, the horns grow quickly. You and I have enough to drink.”
“It’s okay, I’m fine.”
“Don’t give up. It’s left over anyway. Hahaha.”
You can sell it to other people at a high price, but what’s a good friend? As with the Maiden Kess, Aiden’s cooperation is essential in the future, so it was good to maintain a good relationship.
“Anyway, I’m going first today. I work out hard. I’ll check it out, so drink it all!”
You hear a knocking sound behind you. It seems that you are already tired of walking all the way here. When I give it tomorrow, I’ll have to give it a bigger amount.
As I stepped out of the training ground filled with scorching heat, I felt a cold wind on my face.
‘···The upcoming main quest.’
The second event outside, ‘Corrupted Hero’. And finally it was the top. There is still a long way to go, but as precedent, it may happen now.
more busy in the future. There was a midterm exam and other sub-events, and I had to raise my stats quickly, so I didn’t have time to relax.
Still, I might as well rest a little earlier today.
‘tomorrow.’
Because I finally decided to give Ryu Seo-yeon a treat.
