Chapter 11: Terms and Conditions Agreement

 I’m really sorry… It’s my fault. So, please forgive me just this once… Haaang…

As I roughly pushed away Yerim’s face, who was grabbing my leg and wouldn’t let go, she let out a strange groan.

Struggling to get away from her, who kept clinging to me, I replied coldly.

“Get away. Can’t you see this neck? I won’t talk to you until this heals.”

While I was suffocating from her sleep talking, I felt severe pain near my neck bone, as if it had been strained.

So, I asked the doctor who happened to be visiting, and after a simple examination, a neck brace was put on.

I thought the area below my legs was a bit strangely damp… but the sheets were fine, and Yejin said nothing happened, so nothing must have happened.

In any case, I pointed to the thick neck brace that had cooled down because of the girl who was grabbing my leg and wouldn’t let go.

Then, Yerim lowered her head as if she had nothing to say and let go of my leg.

It seems like this will work well for a while, so I should use it whenever I make Yerim do things.

The anger had already subsided to some extent, and I had the intention of forgiving her… but it’s subtly fun to make others do things for you,

so I wondered if I should pretend to be sulking for a while.

Yejin, who was pitifully looking at Yerim’s face, which was flushed red as if she was upset that she was scolded so much by her sister and me

for a simple sleep talking incident, opened her mouth.

“But Oppa, if you were grabbed like that, shouldn’t you have used a skill to get out? If you used Blink or even a Shield, you wouldn’t have

suffocated at least.”

“…I don’t know how to use skills.”

“Oh, right, Oppa doesn’t know how to use skills yet? You’ve been asleep for the past week.”

“What, I can use skills? In reality? I couldn’t before, right?”

In the game, wizards could fly in the sky, teleport to spaces within their sight, and had various skills useful for everyday life.

Who wouldn’t be excited to be able to do that in reality? Amused by my reaction, Yejin smiled and continued to speak.

“A lot has happened while you were asleep. Almost all users have awakened their status window.

Thanks to that, information sharing between users has been  various communities, and the method of using skills has been revealed.

Watch closely.”

Showing me a demonstration, Yejin got up from her seat.

“Heup!”

Taking a stance, her two fists collided in front of her heart.

Red energy enveloped her hands, and a light gust of wind from the epicenter swirled around the hospital room.

“Oh! Isn’t that the [Stance] skill effect? A cost-effective skill that all fighter users use. Right?”

A cost-effective job skill that grants additional stats just by taking a simple stance before engaging in battle.

I had seen it so much while playing the game that even I, who wasn’t a fighter user, could recognize the famous skill.

Her appearance, covered in red energy, looked like a fighting goddess from legends.

I unconsciously swallowed my saliva at the cool appearance.

“Correct. Now, I’ll tell you how to use skills. First, calm down a bit… The first thing you need to do is open your status window.”

“Okay.”

‘Status window.’

Title: Reasonable – Dragon’s Mate

LV.170

Race: Draconian (White)

Condition: Neck Injury

Skills

[Ice Bolt] LV. 10

[Electric Bolt] LV. 10

[Blink] LV. 10

[Mana Shield] LV. 10

The versatile skills that any wizard job would 찍어 놓는 찍어 놓는 찍어 놓는 찍어 놓는 찍어 놓는 and the elemental magic unique to

elementalists were listed.

As expected, there were no changes from when I first opened the status window.

“I opened the status window. What do I do in this state?”

“Scroll down to the bottom of the skill list.”

The translucent skill names that I had never used or invested skill points in passed by in an instant.

At the very end of the long skill lists, a familiar phrase was written.

‘If you want to use skills, please agree to the terms and conditions?’

“Do you see the terms and conditions phrase? Click it.”

Clicking the glittering word ‘Terms and Conditions’ with my finger, a new window appeared before my eyes.

Fantasia Online 2 Skill Terms and Conditions Agreement

-The user who uses the skill is responsible for any personal or property damage caused by the use of skills, not the company.

-Purpose of using personal information…

If you agree to all of the above, please press the agree button.

Agree □

The skill usage terms and conditions were simple.

The explanation of the terms and conditions that all property and personal damage caused by the use of skills is the responsibility of the user

who used the skill, and the company does not care, was the entirety of the content.

The rest was useless content such as mentions of personal information that I had agreed to when I started the game.

“…Are you saying that if I agree to this, I can use skills as I please?”

“Theoretically, that’s right.”

“Then why did these crazy bastards hide such an important thing in this corner?”

“We don’t know. In the first place, the changes in our bodies and the awakening of the status window happened without any warning…

Perhaps this is also a reflection of the unkindness of the ghost game company that made our bodies like this.”

“So, the reason I almost got sold off because I couldn’t use skills even after awakening the status window was because I couldn’t agree to

these terms and conditions?”

I almost died because I didn’t agree to one set of terms and conditions. Just as I was about to be swept away by  , Yerim shook her head and

added. (a sense of emptiness or futility.)

“No. Even after agreeing to the terms and conditions, you need some training to use skills.

Everyone has their own know-how… but I don’t know at all.

Unnie also trained for a week but can only use one [Stance] that I showed you earlier.”

“Ah…”

“Even if you had agreed to the skill usage terms and conditions as soon as you awakened the status window, you wouldn’t have been able to

use skills freely right away.”

I roughly nodded my head and reread the contents of the terms and conditions.

As expected, there was nothing particularly suspicious.

“But, why is the content of the notification ‘Fantasia Online 2’? Weren’t we playing the first series?”

“Opinions are still divided on that phrase.

There is a theory that this reality is the background of Fantasia Online 2, but there is no reliable evidence… Anyway, did you agree to the

terms and conditions?”

“I was looking to see if there was anything suspicious. There might be strange conditions attached. But there aren’t any particularly strange

clauses.”

Continuing to speak, I clicked the box that said ‘Agree’, and the window that had 떠올랐던 떠올랐던 떠올랐던 떠올랐던 떠올랐던 closed, and

other notifications appeared, blocking my view.

-You have agreed to the terms and conditions. The [Skill Usage Restriction] debuff is removed.

-Passive skills are activated.

-Each stat has increased by +10 due to [Body of the Transcendent].

-Magic stat increased by +5 due to [Sign of the Archmage].

-Elemental affinity stat is  due to [Friend of the Spirits].  compensated/corrected)

-The efficiency of the magic stat is increased due to [Half-Human Half-Dragon Body].

Along with the phrase that the use of skills was unlocked, notifications that the passive skills I had learnedcame up one after another/poured out

It was very annoying to erase one by one the notifications that endlessly ] and blocked the field of view.

Only after all the notification windows were turned off and only the status window remained was I able to secure my sight properly.

“Did you erase them all?”

There was laughter in their eyes as they looked at me as if they knew what I had gone through.

Well, those guys were also similar  like me, so they must have had a dozen or so always-applied passive skills. ( hardcore/dedicated players)

They must have experienced the hell where countless notifications related to passive skills  when they finished agreeing to the terms and conditions.

Looking back at their gaze, I asked.

“Then now, I can use skills?”

“That’s right. But before learning how to use skills, there’s something you must learn first.

That’s mana control…”

“Like this?”

After clicking the terms and conditions, I gathered the bothersome energy that kept moving around inside my skin onto my hand.

Then, a sphere of light with a blue tint appeared on my palm.

I was momentarily panicked by the strange energy that was swirling in a round, but then I realized that this was ‘mana’, which I had used to draw from my heart when I shot breath.

While playing with the aggregate of mana that had been created like that, I realized that the atmosphere around me had quickly frozen.

When I raised my head, even Yerim, who had been  next to me, had closed her mouth and was looking at my hand. (constantly chattering)

“…In one go?”

“Lies… I didn’t succeed at all even after a week of effort…?”

“Then what do I do next?”

“You draw out the mana, so, the image of the skill…”

“Like this?”

The threads of mana formed a line following my finger, and that line slowly formed a 진. (진 = circle)

Pure mana permeated that 진, forming a supernatural miracle that could not happen in reality.

Lower Magic: Ice Bolt

An icicle the size of a person’s head appeared from the magic circle at the tip of my finger and shot forward in an instant.

(sound of glass shattering)

“…Huh?”
