episode_0004

No matter how you look at it, I’ll have to live here for at least four years, so I casually looked around.

A spacious living room and a neat kitchen. There are three rooms, bathrooms, a storage room, a veranda, and so on.

Basic furniture and products for daily use were also provided.

The energy source in this world is not electricity, but mana. That’s why mana was gathered in specific patterns on the products and such.

Is that domestic magic? I can feel how the patterns are intertwined… but as a novice, I don’t really understand it well. I plan to check it out again after learning more later.

Especially, the veranda was appealing. The size seemed generous enough to grow plants.

The house itself is spacious, almost too big for one person to live in. It’s even large enough for two or three people to live together without any problem.

In addition, thinking about the convenience facilities such as a swimming pool, sauna, and gym, my head nodded involuntarily at the mention of top-notch facilities.

It’s hard to tell whether this is a school dormitory or a tourist hotel.

As for the exterior… I can’t see it. They probably didn’t spare any effort. Since it’s just as good as a top-class hotel in the illustration.

Even this might feel insufficient to the talented individuals from the world who have achieved great things, so there are dormitory buildings better than this.

Of course, buildings better than this are available depending on your grades.

With top grades, you can either receive a private house within the property or a penthouse on the top floor of the dormitory building.

“It’s hot.”

I involuntarily screamed due to being hit by a water cannon (fire attribute) from the sunflower shower hanging from the ceiling.

I tried to endure it somehow, but it responded even to my slightly raised scream…

Thanks to that, I also received a double dose of the curse of silence.

I put on some clothes roughly and bought burn ointment to apply all over my body.

Although my body is weak, fortunately, I didn’t get a severe burn, as the staff at the management office told me that it would get better if I applied the medicine.

While spreading the medicine evenly over my body, I realized that my right hand was numb due to the thought of a burn. An abnormal sensation. It’s a trace of a burn I got when I was young.

From the tip of my right hand to covering my forearm.

When the fire broke out in the nursery, it was a burn, but it was strangely burned to the point where even the doctor shook his head.

The doctor said, “I’ve never seen a scar like this before.”

Even I looked grotesque enough to make people grimace. It looked like an old tree struck by lightning, all charred.

So even now, when I walk outside, I wear black gloves on both hands. If I show this outside and walk around, people’s attention will focus on the negative side.

Apart from entering the world of the game, the body itself is ironically the body of the original world.

I sat on the soft bed.

Already in a bad condition, I was hit by a water cannon and buried underground, but for the future, I pondered during this short time.

It’s been about ten days since the transfer.

On the first day, my head almost exploded and I fainted, and on the third day, I almost starved to death and became a corpse.

Just now, I saw something between the gates and my head almost exploded again…

First, I judged that it was urgent to quickly normalize spatial perception, which serves as the ‘eyes.’

Until today, I spent time adjusting with spatial perception.

Now I could maintain a range of about 30m.

The color is the same, but thanks to the considerably expanded range, it feels mind-boggling.

Also, spatial perception seems to be tingling something, and it accelerated even more after seeing something between the gates.

Ironically, it seems that the impact on spatial perception came instead of my head almost exploding.

Gradually, it feels like I can change the perspective as I want.

Also, it’s time to set a goal little by little.

Actually, there’s nothing to decide.

“Let’s give up playing like a game.”

Chapter 1 of the main story mainly becomes the background stage for Siyolam. Due to the setting, any events such as attacks end up being completely aborted.

However, in the world other than Siyolam, various incidents and accidents naturally occur.

Usually, if the player is involved in a major event, they engage in external activities.

In the process, they get involved with villains, encounter mutant monsters, get trapped in mutated dungeons…

My main play after the second round was to find and clear all sorts of incidents and accidents, receive rewards, and upgrade my specs.

“I have to quit this.”

Of course, behaving like that in reality is insane. In games, it’s just a matter of losing HP, but in reality, it’s just crazy.

It’s not essential to pursue external spec upgrades; it’s due to greed rather than necessity.

You can achieve sufficient growth in Siyolam. In fact, you might be able to grow faster in Siyolam.

The blessing from the Tower of Growth.

Growth adjustment applied to positive aspects.

In the original work, the ratio was at least five times.

Where else can you find such fraudulent performance? If I manage to endure somehow here, I can achieve growth at least five times faster than outside.

I didn’t need to bother going outside in this situation.

Moreover, the basic premise of spec upgrades through external events should involve reward measurement in the status window… Wait a minute.

At that moment, a thought flashed in my mind, and I inwardly sighed.

“Do I not have a status window?”

As with most games, in “Savior,” there exists a status window that objectively summarizes the character’s abilities in numerical values, as well as quests that provide rewards and the like.

But the status window is described as a hologram floating in the air…

I muttered to myself after a brief silence.

“Status window? Status?”

There was no change at all.

I reached out and waved through the air. There was nothing. Even when examined through spatial perception, it was the same. It was only detected as empty space.

“It doesn’t exist, right?”

It really doesn’t exist, right? It’s not that I can’t see it, it really doesn’t exist, right?

It’s not something you can see only by opening your eyes…?

Honestly, if it existed, it would have been detected by spatial perception. Definitely.

Anyway.

Spec upgrades through external activities are discarded. Opting for conventional growth in Siyolam.

Also, I don’t plan to intervene in the main story as much as possible.

“In fact, the player is unnecessary in the story.”

The player is not the protagonist.

In “Savior,” the world does not perish just because the player doesn’t do anything.

Well, depending on the development, a country may reach the level of destruction, but it is resolved by the protagonists.

The repercussions of the player’s intervention end at preventing events before they occur, reducing the damage caused by events, or even increasing the damage.

The existence of a player is not essential. I’m fortunate in this regard.

Moreover, as far as I’ve checked, all the main characters entering this term existed. Most of the previous term matches as well. Most of them are people who are active as superhumans in the world.

Some personnel have changed… In reality, there are inevitable variables that cannot be controlled, unlike in games.

The world may not progress exactly like a game story, but at least the basic structure is somewhat similar, isn’t it?

So, even if I stay still, the story will naturally progress, and I just need to do my job.

Of course, my main goal is to lift the constraints placed on me.

There are three constraints on me.

The “Curse of Sensory Sealing” that took away my sense of smell, taste, and sight.

The “Curse of Short Life,” which makes me die young.

The “Curse of Silence,” which blocks conversation.

I remember one way to lift the constraints, so I should focus on that.

“…Still, I have to solve at least one more.”

If there’s something that must be solved, it’s probably the Curse of Short Life. However, just as I thought before, if I were to live with the Curse of Sensory Sealing, I wouldn’t be able to live happily, so I must definitely solve that too.

…Honestly, if the Curse of Silence can’t be helped, it seems okay to leave it alone.

In the original world, there would hardly be any opening of the mouth, so it seems fine to live as a mute…

Furthermore, there is a way to indirectly avoid the Curse of Silence through collecting artifacts.

“How should I plan my growth route?”

Eventually, I fall into contemplation again.

To solve one constraint, I need strength to clear a certain dungeon.

I need to reach a certain level of growth to be able to clear it.

Three abilities came with the three constraints.

The ability to serve as an omnidirectional radar, “Spatial Perception”

The level of magic affinity that tells high-level mages to go away, “Magic Affinity”

Having above-average qualities in all aspects, “All-Rounder”

“Ah… If that’s the case, I should bring something other than Sensory Sealing and All-Rounder.”

In an instant, the Curse of Sensory Sealing took away half of my senses.

It’s a good thing to say it’s an exclusive ability for an ultimate master, but it’s a mediocre mishmash skill, “All-Rounder.”

The reason for choosing the curse of sensory seal was that the risk of a sensory stat collapse was all there was, and it covered more than spatial perception.

Also, this time, the goal was soloing, so I chose an all-rounder who could grow to the extreme and be able to do some tanking and healing to some extent.

If it were reality, I wouldn’t have been confident in utilizing an all-rounder…

“If this was going to happen, I should have brought a single qualification…”

At least if I had something like the qualification of a swordsman, I could have definitely excelled in that area.

At best, an all-rounder might be at the level of a mediocre player.

In the world of Shiyolam, where all sorts of geniuses gather, being at the level of a mediocre player would only put you in the lower ranks.

“Is the only thing to trust spatial perception and magic affinity?”

Human radar itself, spatial perception, and any profession are good, but especially magic affinity, which shows outstanding performance in the wizard route.

“Should I go towards the wizard…?”

Honestly, if I were told to fight monsters in close combat with a weapon… Could I do it?

I don’t know if I’d be good at it, but given my nature, going towards the wizard is the best option.

“My head hurts…”

When the worry ended, a feeling of lethargy came and pressed down on his body. Without resisting, he lay down on the bed.

It was too early to fall asleep, but he was too tired.

Thanks to the excessive information from spatial perception, he could stay awake, but if he wanted to sleep, he could.

The freshman congratulatory party should be next week or so. There is plenty of free time since I entered early.

Because it was originally a sealed eye, Suma gradually came back little by little.

At the same time, the anxiety that had been crumpled up in one corner of his mind also came along.

The only way I know to release the constraint just once.

It’s a method using an artifact buried in a specific dungeon. The dungeon itself is hidden in a remote place, but hunters who search for dungeons usually rummage through the remote places as a matter of course.

What if someone else finds it first?

What if I delay for a moment after fooling around a bit?

I need at least two minimum, and the anxiety that I might lose the only method I know pushed Suma away.

“Ugh.”

Frowning in arrogance, he got up. He sat at the desk in the room and operated the smartwatch that was available.

I am viewing “Basic Magic Usage (Part 1).”

Congratulations to the freshmen for a week.

Before that, I need to memorize some theory.

The proposed origin theories of magic are numerous. The natural theory that it originated from natural energy, transmitted from the stars to humans, ji, ji, ji, ji, ji─

“Why is this like this.”

– Ring!

– Ring!

[Notification. Magic residue 3%]

“Ah.”

– Ring!

[Observation… successful.]

[Summoning… successful.]

[Synchronization… suc… cessful…]

“The ‘Player Adjustment System’ is ready.”
