“Come to your senses…”

Umm… my head hurts.

“Come to your senses.. We have to leave now..”

dizzy..

Someone keeps touching me. I wish they would just leave it alone.

“Ha.. I definitely woke up. Huh..”

A sound you hear in your sleep.

There is a sound of something being sucked in. I had a headache and felt dizzy, so it was difficult to get up.

“Wake up!!”

“Ugh..”

To have a headache? no. My ears hurt now.

A beeping sound rang in my ears and I simply chased away the drowsiness that had been taking over my body.

“What…”

“I finally woke up. I have to get off soon. Hurry up and get ready.”

“Ah, that’s right…”

Who is it?

The person who woke me up was a man wearing a hood on his head.

I don’t know why he woke me up.

I woke up and checked my surroundings.

Sarak… Sarak…

Huge leaves falling from the sky.

And then I saw a cute little village.

For a moment, I couldn’t remember where this was.

I quickly remembered it.

‘I’ve been here so many times, but I can’t believe you forgot this.’

Even though the beep sound in my ears has disappeared, I still feel dizzy.

Although my head didn’t turn. I quickly remembered it.

The place where you wake up is the village where beginners wake up after completing the tutorial.

It was a so-called beginner village.

The average level does not exceed 10, and the counter that appears does not exceed level 10.

I didn’t remember it because it was a village where I stayed for a short time before taking a boat to another continent to do my first job change.

Most users either skipped this place or played with their brains out even if they were doing the quest.

Me too. I couldn’t remember.

“Ha.. this is ridiculous. I have to leave right away.”

I tried to leave right away after finishing the tutorial.

I received an unknown forced quest.

I just had to go out and delete my account anyway, so there was no problem.

They said the data has already been deleted.

And you will definitely be compensated for the deleted data.

‘I’ll show you what the truth is.’

Now I can’t go to school with my face up. Even if I had to go, the only way was to peel the iron plate.

However, even though I paid all the expensive tuition, I couldn’t drop classes or drop out.

There was no harm in my reputation if I added anything here.

Because I am a man with no back.

Now I just look ahead.

Now that you have finished the tutorial, to exit, open the menu and click the exit game button at the bottom….

I’m looking for it.. ah.. I’m trying..

“Huh? Why isn’t there one?”

No matter how carefully I searched the menu, I couldn’t find a button to end the game.

“No… what kind of bug is this!”

There was no other way to end the game than to press the end game button.

There was no other way.

There is also a way to forcibly turn off the power to the capsule… if you use that method.

The capsule itself may not have been usable.

Although I have occasionally said nonsense about how I wish my gaming friends were trapped in the game.

Every time, I scolded him and told him to go somewhere else to talk nonsense. Is that coming back as karma now?

No, that doesn’t make sense.

How can something that only exists in people’s imaginations happen in reality?

“Ha..haha.. yes. It’s false. lie. When I take a deep breath and wake up, it will go back to normal.”

This is a dream.

So you should sleep.

I leaned my back against the huge tree and slowly closed my eyes…

I couldn’t sleep. It’s only when things like this happen.

“Life…”

I couldn’t sleep or leave the game.

In the end, all I can do now is…

Moving your body until you fall asleep.

There was only this one.

Let’s open the inventory. It contained an ordinary sword used in the tutorial.

I took out my sword and went out of the village to fight the counter and try to raise my level.

A counter is a type of monster.

They do not invade the village and live only outside the village, but occasionally they invade the village during events.

Additionally, the greater the level difference, the higher the fatigue.

When your fatigue level reaches 100, you are forced into a sleep state, so I was thinking of taking advantage of that.

“Stop right there!”

I had no choice but to stop moving when I heard a shout coming from behind.

Move your head back slowly.

There was an instructor standing there who raised the adventurer’s level from at least 5 to 10.

I don’t remember the name, though. I remembered those unsophisticated twin tails.

She said, blocking my path and spreading her arms.

“What are you doing! It’s level 1! There is a dangerous counter outside! I’m thinking of dying!”

I’m a player, so even if I die, I come back to life at the church.

There is the blessing of the goddess, so you will not die.

“I won’t die. And I have work to do.”

“…I don’t know what’s going on. Let’s start by leveling up first! Follow me! I’ll take you to the training ground!”

Fighting counters is more efficient in leveling up than fighting at the training ground.

Maybe it’s because my level is 1, but I can’t shake off her hand. I was dragged away by force.

*

“Now! This is the pride of our town! It’s a training ground!”

A total of 5 portals in front of you.

Levels 1-3 from the far left. There was a level 8-10 counter on the far right.

But it wasn’t dangerous.

Since it was only for training purposes, let’s focus on the level. I could deal with it even with my eyes closed.

Maybe that’s why the experience points given were calculated and it took a long time.

In that case, it would have been more efficient to go out to the village and fight the counter at the same level.

I want to leave the training ground and go out of town right now.

thud!

He put down the great sword strapped to his back and stamped it on the floor.

“You can never run away! I’ve seen many beginners like you! Beginners who blindly attack and die without knowing the difference in skill between them and their opponent… I will never see that happen!”

Really… I just want to get out of the game.

At the training ground… fatigue does not increase!

This was the reason I wanted to leave.

Fatigue does not increase within the village.

The training ground is also inside the village. Fatigue did not increase as the effect took effect.

I want to break through those tacky twintails and get out of town.

As a beginner, you will never be able to beat her.

In the end, I gave up on going out of the village and tried to fight the training counter with my sword.

She stopped me again.

“Wait!”

“Why again!”

“I have to take the quest!”

….ah.

I had forgotten.

I have to take her quest. Entry to the training ground was allowed.

Tiring!

[Ray’s request]

Let’s talk to him after reaching LV 10. (Y/N)

※Caution: If you run away without completing the quest. [Ray’s Wrath] begins.

A translucent window appeared in the air.

Only after seeing the name of the quest. I remembered the name of that unsophisticated twintail.

ray.

He was the strongest in the beginner village and was the guardian deity that protected the village.

In the past, I was an adventurer and got hit by a counter. After receiving a serious injury, he returned to his hometown and took on the role of helping beginners avoid death.

“And now that I see it, I have accepted a quest before and run away.”

When I think back on that time, it was literally hell.

Because he was the guardian deity of the beginner village. Although the level itself was not high. Because of her excellent physical strength, escaping was nearly impossible, and there was even a time when she was brutally cut down by the great sword strapped to her back.

Therefore, you should not accept her quest.

This opinion circulated in the gaming community.

Although it was a little different from the quests I had seen before.

I pressed yes.

“Good! You chose well!”

Ray smiled.

Even though she had unsophisticated twin tails, her smiling face slightly touched the man’s heart.

“Keuhm.. then right away.”

“Wait a minute, the level is high there! therefore. Go to the left!”

Damn… it was common knowledge that no matter how little experience you gave, if there was a level difference, the level would rise quickly.

That’s why… it didn’t work.

I had no choice but to take the leftmost portal.

Feeling a little motion sick, let’s take the portal and enter.

Counters are scattered across the spacious land.

There weren’t many of them, and perhaps because their level was low, they didn’t look threatening at all.

There it is. There were many wounds on the counters’ bodies.

“This will be over soon.”

Thinking that it would be a long time before I could leave the game, I approached the counter with the sword in my hand.

[Wounded Mushroom LV1]

Guys who are at the same level as me.

“Die quickly. For me!”

Huh!

He held the sword with both hands and struck down hard.

Kang!

A hard feeling in the hand.

‘what? Did you have this feeling in the game?’

The thrill that comes through the sword. My hand hurts so much, stop.

Dang…

I lost the sword from my hand.

“What are you doing! Dangerous! Damage!”

Ray’s voice comes from behind.

Let’s endure the pain and raise our head slightly. The injured mushroom, which was about to attack me at any moment, was inflating its body little by little.

“Ah…”

My mind is pure white.

Even though my body is telling me to avoid it. The brain, the organ that processes information, was rejecting any commands.

‘Die…’

Only death was passing through my mind.

Poo-!

A strange sound came out of the wounded mushroom’s mouth, and it leapt upward with its fully inflated body to attack me.

If you get crushed under the giant thing, you will die.

I have to run away… but. My feet didn’t fall off.

As his shadow appeared above my head. I closed my eyes tightly.

However, as time passed, I stopped falling under him.

What happened. I slowly opened my closed eyes to check.

“Ah…”

“It’s okay! don’t worry! Because I am protecting this place! Never die! Let’s stop here for today!”

I could only nod my head at Ray’s words.

With her help, I got out of the training ground.

There was only emptiness in the air.

I entered the training ground triumphantly and was unable to defeat even a single level 1 wounded mushroom.

Because of this, you never know when you will level up and go out of town.

There was no resting place in the beginner village.

Finding a home was possible starting from the village next to the beginner.

Today I just lay down on the street and sleep. Otherwise, I had to sleep with my back against the huge tree that was there when I woke up.

Looking at the weather, it wasn’t a cold day.

There was no problem even if I slept outside.

At that time, I was heading towards the huge tree with heavy steps.

“Wait a moment! There is no home anyway! So… let’s go to my house!”

Tiring!

[Ray’s invitation]

The guardian deity of the beginner’s village. Ray invited you. (Y/N)

※Caution: If you refuse to accept, Ray will lose interest in you.

A quest appeared that I couldn’t refuse.
