The game that reigned first in my rankings was Oriental. This game, which succeeded in attracting early users by saying that it was reminiscent of oriental dressing, stimulated the soul of hard gamers due to its low compensation and high difficulty in operation.

Like a fighting game, you could open a room and invite opponents, and you could also run random matching, but only the latter was possible in ranking matches.

In the beginning, both were open, but they were blocked due to people who took money to ruin the business. Every time I met people whose skills were inferior to their rank, I made fun of them by swearing that they were losers. It’s a happy memory.

“John! Today, instead of a friendly match, we will be playing random matching!”

“Is it a ranking match?”

“Yes! Originally, I was going to play a normal match, but Yohan fought well yesterday, so I decided to go to a ranked match! Also, they said there are evil trainers targeting newbies in the normal game… and they give you more money.”

Then, of course, it is a ranking match.

“Sophia is a beggar.”

“Hing…”

My thoughts and words came out in opposite directions. Even the sullen Sophia is cute.

“Anyway, I’m looking forward to the ranking match. What kind of minions will come out?”

I was going to say ‘woman’, but Sophia got angry so I changed it to ‘minion’. What did I do to say that? All I did was make my friend’s minion pregnant and lay eggs.

Isn’t it a benefit to share one egg with a friend?

“Yes, you know?”

The place where I was going to perform random matching was my workshop. I stroked the egg placed in the corner. Sophia twitched her hand.

“Anyway! I’ll turn it around!”

“Sure.”

[Ranking Match]

[Searching for opponent]

[Search completed!]

As soon as the signal went through, a match was made. A newbie cold war can be caught in 1 second? Is War of the Gods a good game?

“This is the debut season for newbie trainers, so I caught it quickly! Let’s go!”

As Sophia waved her hand, explaining to whom she was speaking, the space changed. It’s the same arena. On the other side, a man I had never seen before was posing like a middle school student.

“Khahaha! Know with glory! I became the first opponent of Ijwa, the ruler of the planet Absol!”

“Sophia. Do gods also suffer from mental illness?”

“Mmm. Because there is also a god of disease and a god of curses. You might get sick. Looks like he got a lot of hate.”

“Why are you two so upset? haha! No need to say it! Are you in love with the majesty of this throne? You can praise as much as you like.”

“…”

[New Trainer – Sophia has sent out her last minion.]

[Minion – Human John]

shoo shoo

When I came to my senses, I was inside the Colosseum. Sophia, who was summoned to the coaching area isolated from the stadium, stomped her foot.

“John! Knock down that damn minion!”

“I don’t even know what it is?”

“Anyway!”

“Okay.”

Why are you angry when you’re just a guy with a 2nd grade disease? Is there a lack of resistance? If I hadn’t played a lot of games, I would have coughed up blood.

But that level of concept-richness is widespread in virtual reality. In the early days, half of the female characters were netcams, so a special law for virtual reality was created that said genders should not be changed.

“Heh. Are you embarrassed?”

“Hurry up and bring in a minion!”

[Sophia is ready!]

[If Absolu does not send out a minion within 60 seconds, he will automatically be disqualified.]

“Oops. I still have something left to show you. He is truly an anxious child.”

“Aaagh!”

“Sophia. This is a low-level provocation. Don’t skip it.”

“Huh? Yes. okay. I was so excited.”

“Did you take it as a provocation? It’s truly a pity. I need to let you know how cool I am. Get out!”

[New Trainer – Absolu has sent out a minion.]

[Minion – Absolute Church Jincheon]

“Hurray! hurray! Long live! Infinite glory to Absol!”

Dress made from hemp. A sword hanging from his waist. Even the hero gun tied stylishly on his forehead. The archetype of the martial arts people emerged from the creative works.

The minion’s name is Chinese, but why is Absol in English? Even his ears were pointed. Murim people, not humans? It’s a hybrid with no roots.

“Jincheon! Spread my teachings among the pagans!”

“Honorable name!”

“Hey, your god speaks a foreign language, so why do you speak Chinese?”

“How dare you compare the great Absolute to some strange small fish! Do you despise the authority of God?”

He is the servant of that god.

“Abbreviated as Gesinggeha.”

“John?”

Sophia caused a pupil earthquake. If I say more, I’ll embarrass myself again. When I pulled out my sword, Jincheon also raised his sword.

“I will educate you!”

“A man me? If you want to educate me, bring me a woman!”

“Kkkk! You are an insane minion!”

“John…”

[Both trainers are ready.]

[Defeat condition 1. Stamina exhaustion]

[Losing Condition 2. Trainer’s abstention.]

[Battle starts!]

The battle started, but I stood there and looked at the guy named Jincheon. Basically, expert players understand their opponents before fighting.

Even in the game, I didn’t immediately rush to the first person I matched with. After looking at the liver, I figured out the character’s proficiency and frequently used attack techniques, and then started working in earnest, learning even the smallest of habits.

Let’s start with a conversation.

“Hey, Murimin.”

“Murim is a boring old man’s fantasy! I was reborn as an Absolute!”

An angry Jincheon narrowed the distance. Are you an impatient person? Or is this an advanced ploy to catch me off guard?

First of all, I couldn’t take the steps better than Ebrande. If I use a long-distance skill, why do they run legitimately? Is there even a corner of you that you believe in?

“Lightning!”

He stretched out his hands forward and shouted loudly. Then Jincheon jumped to the side.

“What are you doing?”

“, how dare you insult me! You! I will not kill you gently!”

“It’s the fault of the person who was deceived. Why are you doing this to me?”

I’m really sad. If it were Ebrande, he wouldn’t have been fooled by this fake. God is mentally ill, so the level of his minions is low.

“Epsol gum is my first meal! Taishan tack!”

Jincheon struck down his sword honestly.

“You really have to do it in moderation. What kind of absolute sword is Taesan Thumbtack? It’s the Samjae method of swordsmanship”

Newbies who came into Oriental, a shitty game, used their skills according to the route determined through correction. It worked well for fellow newbies, but I was able to avoid the rotten water that had memorized all of the character’s skills even with my eyes closed.

If you are an expert, you have to mix something of your own. Slightly deviate from the established route, change the tempo, or mix things up.

Jincheon was not a master. A newbie who relies on skill. Because this is reality, you idiot.

He moved lightly and avoided an honest strike. It was easier than eating cake.

“It’s not over yet! Absol Sword…”

“No matter how new you are.”

It reminded me of the Oriental ronin swordsman. In martial arts circles, he is a martial artist who has reached the top level by learning only the Samjae sword technique, a martial art that is so common that it can be found wandering around the streets.

Afterwards, it was set that he learned other martial arts and became a Hyeongyeong-level expert, but in order to create the character of a ronin swordsman, the production team used that martial arts as the deciding factor and used the Samjae swordsmanship method for the remaining techniques.

“You shouldn’t shout herbivore’s name.”

Chosik cuts horizontally with the sword. The name is Hoengsocheongun. However, it is a sword that draws a mysterious trajectory with the skill of a Hyeongyeong-level warrior.

Because there was no internal energy, it was impossible to reproduce even strength. However, the iron man’s body made up for his lack of endurance. The expanded five senses read the texture of the wind blowing in the Colosseum, and the steel sword that followed the texture dug into Jincheon’s side.

“Ker…gasp…”

No matter how strong my body was, reproducing Hyeon-kyung-level tricks was a burden. My muscle was torn, but I had a recovery period.

“Self-healing.”

The torn muscles continued. There was no need to be sincere in the next attack. Jincheon, who had received a deep cut on his side, fell to the floor and vomited blood.

“Big…”

I just harvested its head.

[Jincheon battle impossible!]

“John! Well done!”

“I just lost my appetite.”

It was a trivial fight. I heard a compliment, but I wasn’t happy. No matter how bad I was, I didn’t bother the newbies.

It might be fun for me as I grow through the shit battle, but why would I discourage newbies from the very beginning? But now I didn’t feel very good because I felt like I was bullying a newbie.

But the battle isn’t over yet?

“Keuhum. Jincheon was the weakest of my minions. Come out!”

[Absolu has sent out a minion.]

[Minion – Absolute Church Camp]

“He’s a dick too, right?”

[Force battle impossible!]

“It’s not over yet!”

[Absolu has sent out a minion.]

[Minion – Absolute Church Jinhae]

[Battle of Jinhae impossible!]

“Is the battle not over yet? A newbie has more than four minions? How many divinity are there?”

Sophia was shocked when the battle did not end even after Jinhae was defeated. Absolu, who was grinding his teeth, burst into laughter.

“Khahahaha! You got caught in my acting! You thought you were having some fun, but that’s your defeat! Come out!”

[Absolu sent out the last minion.]

[Minion – Cheonsol, Absolute Church leader]

A minion with an honest name has appeared. Unlike the previous guys who wore ordinary military uniforms, Cheonsol wore fancy clothes like a priest.

Cheonsol appeared with his eyes closed, sighed and drew his sword.

“The fishy scent of blood… All three great jinns were struck.”

If it was nothing special, I tried to kill it at once like the previous ones, but I couldn’t move. It is common sense that a religious leader is stronger than a religious leader.

Cheonsol’s momentum was several times stronger than that of the three small Jin clans combined.

“It’s fun like this.”

I’m sick of just beating up newbies, but now I’m finally going to have a proper battle.
