episode_0013

When I woke up in the morning, I found notification windows jammed together.

‘…That was a tutorial?’

This is a tutorial that you will die once if you do it twice. I sighed and read the other notifications.

“Main Quest?”

Tiring.

As soon as I could speak, a blue window appeared.

====================================================

(Savior of the Continent)

Baal, the King of Demons, one of the losers who ruled the continent 500 years ago, is about to be resurrected.

Defeat the resurrected Baal and his minions!

success condition

-Death of Baal

-Seris’s mind and body must be intact.

-The continent will be intact.

success reward

-1 wish ticket

failure penalty

-doesn’t exist.

(However, in case of intentional failure, Han Yu-seong’s soul disappears.)

====================================================

“Baal?”

The loser of the continent.

King of Demons.

It was a name with a grandiose modifier attached to it. I immediately realized that this guy named Baal was the final boss.

‘Of course it is. There’s no way such an ability could have arisen for nothing.’

Whether in games or novels, when the main character gains power, there are bound to be hardships to go through.

To be honest, I expected to be able to have abilities without suffering, but… nothing is free in this world.

‘But how on earth can I catch that thing?’

How can I, who lives with the poor, deal with a guy like that? But I couldn’t not do it. This is because of the failure penalty.

If you look at what was written, there was no penalty for simple failure. They say that only if the failure is intentional, my soul will be destroyed.

But this is a play on words.

‘Unless I give up on killing the Demon King, if I fail, it will at least be a disaster. If you give up, it’s a deliberate failure.’

This means that unless you can keep up, you must somehow kill the Demon King.

I laughed out loud, but I was more motivated than I thought.

Because you expected something like this to happen?

Is it because the existence of Baal doesn’t really stick in your mind?

There is something like that. However, this is not the correct answer. There was another reason why I was motivated by this ridiculous request.

“Wish ticket…”

The reason is the right to wish written in the success reward.

When we talk about the right to wish, we are naturally talking about granting a wish.

“Is it possible to bring a dead person back to life..?”

If he was the one who supposedly brought me here by giving me a strange ability called status window, wouldn’t he be able to easily bring a dead person back to life?

That uncertain hope fueled me. So much so that I even forget about blaming myself for leading an unreasonable life for the past two years.

There was no need to worry. I was determined to succeed in this main quest.

“Shop.”

After making up my mind, I decided to first check out the store that appeared in the notification window.

Ding.

A blue window appeared along with a refreshing sound.

====================================================

-weapon

-Armor

-technology

-stuff

====================================================

There were four items organized in the store window. I first clicked on the weapon item. The store window changed and various types of weapons were listed.

“30 karma for short sword, 50 karma for long sword…?”

Why is it so expensive?

The karma from killing a goblin is 2 to 1. 30 karma can be obtained by killing at least 15 goblins.

The balance is not right.

‘If possible, it would be better to buy weapons with money.’

Still, I looked at all the weapons listed. It was because of the expectation that there might be a legendary weapon like the magic sword.

But that didn’t happen and I pressed back, disappointed. I also looked at the armor section, but it was no different from the weapons section.

“…You want to catch the devil with something like this?”

I sighed.

If you’re going to ask them to catch the Demon King, shouldn’t they give you at least a holy sword?

I clicked on the skill item with greatly diminished expectations.

“Fromm Kingdom sword book for general soldiers, 150 karma. From Kingdom’s spear book for general soldiers, 150 karma…”

I knew it.

My already diminished expectations were completely dashed. Still, I had to look at everything, so I scrolled down.

“There are a lot of things…”

The scroll bar was very small compared to the weapon and armor items. There’s even a separate search window. It is incomparable to the previous ones.

“Then what do you do? It’s all useless…huh?”

A familiar word appeared.

“Samjaegeombeop 150 karma?”

Samjaegeombeop is a third-rate martial art that comes from martial arts.

As it is a third-rate martial art, it only consists of three basic techniques: horizontal cutting, vertical cutting, and stabbing. It is simple and weak, so even city officials can obtain it for money.

But why is the martial arts from the martial arts world here?

I searched for martial arts skills I knew in the search bar just in case. With a small sound effect, the martial arts skill I searched for and its price appeared.

“…It really exists.”

I clicked on that martial art. Then, a detailed explanation of the martial arts clicked was revealed.

[1000 Karma of Heunghwanwi Lee]

-Gyeongshin method that instantly changes the position by throwing the body. The speed is such that the opponent cannot even perceive the movement.

The beginning of Lee Hyeong-hwanwi is not exactly known. From the fact that it was created by a master of the Gyeongsinbeop who felt it was a shame that Gungsin Tanyeong was destroyed,

A lustful demon dedicated his life to spying on women.

In the race between the rabbit and the turtle, there are many unfounded rumors going around, including the theory that the hermit who gave the elixir to the turtle secretly gave it to another hermit.

However, one thing is certain: a martial artist who has mastered Lee Hyeong-hwanwi is a world-class expert.

(Caution, in order to learn Lee Hyeong-hwanwi, you need a deep understanding of the new methods and methods. Please familiarize yourself with the new methods and methods of at least one of the nine schools before purchasing.)

“Ha…!”

The Lee Hyeong-hwanwi I knew was right. I also searched for other martial artists I know.

“Cheon Geunchu 550 karma, Mancheon Hwawoo 2000 karma, Cheonma Shingong…7000 karma? You’re crazy.”

It was amazing and fun to see martial artists that I had only seen in novels at the store. I was also excited about being able to learn them.

‘But if you can put these things in, I’ll put a gun in there too.’

I think it would be reassuring to have just one shotgun.

Although I was complaining a little, I was still a little excited. While looking around at the different skills, I realized one important thing.

‘Oh, I was supposed to go to the adventurer’s guild with Kara this morning.’

I forgot about it because of the main quest and the store. It’s already been a while since morning. He’ll be angry because it’s late.

I tried to get up from the floor to get ready to go out. But something stuck in my hand that was on the floor.

“Scroll..?”

It was a scroll by my bedside. There was nothing like this last night. I opened the scroll, wondering what this was.

Inside the scroll was a picture of a palm, and no other letters were visible.

‘Are you asking me to put my palm on it?’

Just looking at it, it was a painting with that intention. However, because it was a suspicious item, I couldn’t touch it carelessly.

“I would have woken up enough to leave this next to me…”

I don’t sleep deeply. Because I don’t know if someone might try to take my pocket or my life while I’m sleeping.

If someone had come next to me, I would have definitely woken up. That doesn’t mean it was so secret that I couldn’t sense it, or that the scroll was teleported to my bedside…

‘Teleportation..?’

Something occurred to me and I immediately opened the quest window titled ‘Escape from Village’. Next to the talent discriminator, which is the success reward, ‘Payed’ was displayed.

What this means is that this scroll is a talent detector.

I placed my palm on the picture on the scroll. Since I knew the source, there was no need to hesitate.

When I touched it, the side of the scroll began to glow. After a few minutes, the light disappeared.

The scroll that had lost its light was filled with letters.

I read the words written on the scroll.

====================================================

Han Yu-seong’s talent evaluation results

Han Yu-seong’s race is human. Not only was he born with an outstanding lineage, but his physical abilities were ordinary.

However, they have better senses than other humans. In addition, he has a talent that can be said to be innate in detecting and moving energy.

It seems like he would stand out in magic as he has an outstanding sense of spirit, but in reality, his magical talent is not that outstanding.

If you learn magic, your lack of magical talent will hinder your outstanding energy.

The only thing that can match Han Yoo-seong’s spirit is his excellent senses.

Therefore, a thief with a hit-and-run fighting style rather than magic is more suitable for Han Yu-seong.

====================================================

“…thief?”

It was all good, but the last sentence made me frown.

A thief.

Isn’t this a term referring to petty thieves?

Of course, I am a pickpocket and a petty thief, but now I am in a position where I have to kill the devil. But you’re a thief.

“I thought there was something a little more great…”

The hit-and-run combat method itself is good. If you fall well, you won’t die in vain.

However, if you are playing it safe, a wizard is better. All you have to do is throw magic from afar. Not to mention its destructive power.

‘No. I said my talent was closer to that of a thief, but I didn’t mean to conclude that I shouldn’t do anything else…’

“Ha…”

I sighed because I had already realized it.

I was often prone to secretive acts such as pickpocketing and raiding. This must be the thief-like talent that the tester said.

Putting aside the question of whether a thief can catch the Demon Lord, it is true that it is the most efficient direction for me.

I had no choice but to give up romance and romance. The most important thing to me right now is getting the right to wish.

After deciding on the direction of growth, I quickly washed up and headed to the inn where Sister Seris was staying.

“Oppa! It’s late!”

As expected, Kara was angry.
