[HP: 125]

The level increased to 2, and HP increased from 200 to 210.

However, while I was caught off guard, I was attacked from behind and suffered 85 damage.

There was even a fatal hit.

No matter how careless I was, I had no idea that there would be a fatal blow.

The probability of a wounded mushroom receiving a critical hit was at most 0.038.

It was almost impossible to float. I couldn’t turn back what had already happened.

I got up from my seat, rolling around on the floor and increasing the distance between me and the guy.

The injured mushroom was jumping and approaching quickly.

My speed was faster.

My body hasn’t swelled yet. Aiming for timing, I swung my sword in a straight line.

“Uuuu!!”

A wounded mushroom falls down with a scream.

“Whoa… it was dangerous.”

You need to come to your senses.

This is the training ground. Ray is watching me behind me, so I won’t die.

Still, I had to do as much as I could.

Without help. Just by myself.

“Uuuu..”

Injured mushrooms began to gather towards me as I stood still.

It looks like they just heard the commotion and came rushing in.

Wow.

I held my sword tightly.

Even though I only swung it a few times, it was more than 1,000 thoughtless swings in the air. The past few times have been much more difficult.

I must have already lost my stamina, my breathing became rapid, and my heart was pounding wildly.

I wanted to rest a bit, but I was unable to clear the quest given by Ray.

I’ve only caught 12 now.

There are still 88 left.

“Okay.. I’ll try it.. I’ll have to die.”

I trusted Ray.

If I fall into danger, she will save me.

“Go! You monsters!”

Ryuk took a moment to catch his breath and then the guys came rushing back.

I ran towards the counter.

Ryuk thought.

I wish I had the skills. In order to develop my skills for a week, I tried to develop my skills outside of the daily quests.

It failed.

When I looked at the information window, it said “Not in the skill list.”

So how can this skill appear?

I thought about it though. Surprisingly, the answer was very simple.

To obtain skills in games, you must combine the skills you want to obtain. The action had to be repeated.

Since I don’t have any skills right now, combination is impossible.

In that case, there is no answer other than repeating the action.

Repeating from scratch did not develop skills.

So what should I do?

“How long! You have to do it like this!”

I grabbed my sword and made a move using basic beginner skills towards the injured mushrooms.

Tiring!

[Failed.]

I asked this about the message that appeared in front of me. I didn’t give up.

[Failed.]

[Failed.]

[Failed.]

.

.

.

[Failed.]

Although all 100 injured mushrooms were disposed of. I couldn’t get the skill.

I can’t say it’s a substitute, though.

Tiring!

[Quest has been completed.]

[Would you like to receive your reward now?](Y/N)

Click Yes without hesitation and receive your reward.

‘Skill: Beginner’s Power’ has been added to the list of skills that were empty until now.

“Good job! Ryuk! I knew Ryuk would do it!”

Let’s succeed in the quest.

Ray running towards me. Her face looked happier than ever.

When she smiled, a smile formed on my face without me knowing.

“Good! That’s all for today, let’s go back now!”

“..No, I’ll do a little more. Because I want to test my skills.”

“Mmm… Okay! Instead, you should never overdo it! Because I will watch over you!”

Ray warned me not to overdo it!

It seemed like he intended to stay here until he returned, but that was impossible.

“Because Mr. Ney has work today. Didn’t I tell you to come quickly?”

“Ah.. I forgot.. Uh, what should I do?!”

“Whatever. I have to go back and see. I’ll do a little more and then go back.”

“Umm… I understand! Instead, never overdo it!”

Ray thought long and hard for a moment, then stepped down to keep his promise to Ney.

This is the result of living with and observing her for a week. She was the one who kept her promises no matter what.

Even if that promise is a small promise.

Now that Ray had left to keep his promise, I was the only one left at the training ground.

I checked the skills obtained as a reward.

[Beginner’s Power LV1]

Mana. 10

You are a beginner! Now I am no longer afraid of the intimidation of the counter. When using a skill, you will not be affected by status ailments for 10 minutes.

nice!

Although it was not an attack skill.

It was quite nice just not to suffer from any status ailments.

Although this skill will rarely be used against low-level counters.

That was a stupid idea.

The fear of losing stamina, the fear of thinking stopping for a moment in a crisis.

And fear of ignorance, etc.

Fear was also more than a state. There was no guarantee that the enemy would inflict a status abnormality.

Because he could have bet on himself.

‘Beginner’s power!’

The moment I used the skill, the fear rushing through my body disappeared.

The fear just disappeared. I rolled on the floor and the pain in my hand holding the sword remained the same, as did my reduced stamina.

but.

“Enough. You can do it.”

I wasn’t nervous.

Rather, it was comfortable.

Then let’s go.

The goal is until you acquire the skill!

*

“How about it? Who are the beginners this time?”

“I don’t know yet. It looks different than before… but I didn’t expect that NPC to move like that.”

While Ryuk is immersed in acquiring skills at the training ground.

Two people were watching him from afar.

One of them was a man with a hood on his head who woke Ryuk up in this world, and the other was wearing a cloak, so I couldn’t see his face in detail. He didn’t look like a man.

Although her face was covered, her breasts slightly puffed out over the cloak indicated that she was a woman, not a man.

The woman in the cloak was staring at Ryuk’s face.

“What is it? Are you falling for that face too?”

“Noisy. It’s not like that. just… . I just feel nostalgic.”

“Feeling nostalgic? What is that?”

I couldn’t explain it, though.

A crushing feeling came from deep inside my heart.

Normally it was fine, but just looking at Ryuk’s face made my heart sink.

“It’s pointless. Anyway, what we have to do doesn’t change. We need to see if that newbie really has an impact on our world. You know that, right?”

“…I know. So, don’t let me command you. There is only one person who can give me orders.”

At those words, the hooded man slightly lifted his shoulders and shook his head.

“Are you saying that again? Past master? Didn’t you say it’s already been 30 years since that person disappeared? I’ll be dead by now…”

Quang!

I couldn’t finish speaking as the fist flew towards the hooded man.

“Don’t curse at him in front of me. If that happens… I don’t know what will happen.”

“…sorry.”

“Not just in front of me. Never do this, not even in front of the adventure leader. I’ll skip this one though. Adventurer… I will divide you into five parts on the spot.”

“I know. Because I saw it before.”

The hooded man couldn’t forget the adventure leader’s appearance.

In the past, a man used his mouth incorrectly. The sight of it being divided into five parts exactly on the spot.

Even 10 years later, it is still quite famous.

“Ugh…”

When I think of that image, my body trembles.

“What are you doing? I guess training is over now. Let’s go quickly.”

“Uh.. Uh huh. I understand.”

The man in the hood and the girl in the cloak approached Ryuk, who was leaving the place after finishing training.

*

[Your level has increased.]

I was so happy to hear the message that my level had risen.

The experience points from the counters at the training ground were 1/100, so you had to catch 100 here to get to 1 outside.

I caught 100 monsters through a quest, and after using the skill, I caught over 300 counters right before my magic power ran out.

Outside, I only caught about 4-5 fish, but it was enough to raise my level.

Hunting starts to become more and more fun, until an alarm appears telling you that your level has increased.

I became engrossed. When I raised my head and looked at the sky, the sun that was clearly in the center was now. It was disappearing beyond the horizon, drawing dusk around it.

Now I had to finish it and get ready to go back.

I want to do more. It was clear that Ray would be angry if he was any later than this.

I moved to the entrance of the training ground to pick up my luggage that I had put down at the entrance of the training ground.

When I arrived at the entrance, fortunately, no one had stolen my luggage.

It wasn’t put in a storage container somewhere, it was just placed on the floor.

Although I did hear Ray say that novices have definitely not been showing up lately.

I looked around and couldn’t see anyone except me.

Even though it wasn’t a training ground when I was playing the game, there were a lot of players in the beginner village, so it was complicated.

It was so peaceful and quiet now.

“Let’s go back.”

I was curious about what kind of dish Ney had prepared for dinner tonight.

Let’s try to calm our hearts that were overflowing with anticipation and go back home.

Someone came near me.

One is a woman wearing a cloak, and next to her is a man wearing a hood.

Seeing how close the two people are…

‘Tsk. ‘They’re a couple.’

I felt really bad.

Some people are dumped and trapped in a place like this, working hard every day…

That couple is enjoying a leisurely date.

I tried my best to pass by without seeing the couple in my field of vision.

“Ah. Just a moment.”

The hooded man caught me.

“What are you doing?”

“Are you training here?”

“But.. why are you doing that?”

Looking at the two people’s equipment, they didn’t look like beginners.

especially. A woman wrapped in a cloak. Unlike the man, I felt an unusual energy.

“No. Fighting counters outside of town will help you level up. Why here..”

“Director Nam. My heart is wherever I am. Don’t worry.”

I know.

That my current self is weak and funny.

Even if the number of beginners decreased, it did not mean that they were non-existent.

Other beginners do not train at the training center and go straight to the actual game.

Although I was the only one using the training ground. I wasn’t embarrassed.

Because it would be better to give birth than to die.

“I’m sorry if you were offended. My name is Marik. If you don’t mind, may I ask your name?”

“….Ryuk.”

“..What? what? Just..?”

Let’s name it.

The woman who had been silent until now opened her mouth in surprise.

“Again. Say it again! What is your name?!”

“Ryuk.. says.”

“Well, don’t lie!”

what. This woman.

Even if you tell me your name… haha… that’s it.

“Going.”

I tried to ignore it and pass by.

Ouch!

Ugh…

The woman squeezed my shoulder as she passed by.

“Stop. I’m not finished talking yet.”
