episode_0008
by fnovelpia“I guess I won’t come anymore…”
It took a lot of bite. From the group that first came out to hunt, to the search party sent to find the group when it did not return, to the reinforcements that the search party brought in by blowing horns. Even if I just stayed still, karma took care of itself.
Thanks to this, although it was only a small amount, my karma accumulated and my magic power increased, and the number of zombie goblins following me increased to close to fifty or so.
I waited until the sky became dark to recover my magic power, but no additional goblins came.
Well, we’ve already wiped out close to a hundred of them, so you’d be an idiot if you didn’t feel anything strange. We’re already a hundred horses behind, so if we send in more troops, who will protect the village and who will raise the cows?
“Hey. You guys go and pick up some firewood.”
So, I guess I can just spend the night here and finish up the village when the sun rises.
There were still most of the Goblin Warriors and Goblin Shamans left, but after a rough demo today, the performance of this optimally built body far exceeded my expectations. Even though the body was so chewy and the level of difficulty was excruciating.
If I were to consider my current level, I would probably be an inexperienced 4th rank wizard.
Originally, in ‘Vegabond’, there was no such thing as a wizard’s level that systematically differentiated things. There was nothing indicating what level the magic was on the status window, and there was nothing indicating what level magic was on the skill tree.
When using magic, the success or failure of the magic was simply realized by combining internal parameters such as magical power reserves, various stats, and series proficiency.
In any case, the situation without such objective indicators was, of course, extremely uncomfortable.
Even when sharing information among users, it was difficult to share information such as this episode being inferior if you are below a certain level, this NPC is at a certain level, so don’t fool around, etc. Even if you raise the same character, there is a slight difference in initial settings or stats. Because the character performance was so different, newbies often ended up saying, ‘No, I did it the same way, why did I fall behind?’
So, several people, including me, came together and collected all kinds of data. When this magic was successful, how much magic power was there, how much karma was accumulated, what potential ability was selected… The collected data was analyzed all night long, and finally an indicator called ‘hierarchy’ was created. , we also created ‘hierarchy magic’ to check this in the game.
A truly historic feat.
When I posted this achievement on the community, it received over 20,000 recommendations in just one day, and it ranked first in the strategy article that newbie wizards must read, turning me and my friends into named users. In fact, the official ‘Vegabond’ broadcast also used the word ‘hierarchy’ while introducing the event raid, so it can be said to be an indicator with some credibility.
Even if you teach the concept of ‘hierarchy’ to NPCs while playing the game, it will spread in all directions in less than a year, and there is no NPC who doesn’t know about it. Centipedes must have been uncomfortable because they didn’t have this indicator.
When I sit down and open my hands, a fist-sized sphere made of magical energy appears. The surface of the sphere was made up of four layers, each emitting different colors, flowing in different directions, yet not mixing as if they were going to mix.
“Hierarchical magic.”
It consumes a lot of magic power and is very difficult to use, but it has no practical use and is only used to prove oneself.
Since it has 4 layers, it means that it is a 4th level magician, and since the boundaries are not clear and it looks like it will not mix, it means that it is still immature.
The first-tier magicians are embarrassed to even be called magicians; they are just learning about mana and are at the level of making simple requests. It is a state where magic can be used to do things that, although strange, can be done without magic, such as making a small light float or creating a torch-like flame.
Second-tier wizards use magic that would not be embarrassed to call it magic. This is the level of using low-level, standardized magic, such as creating and throwing fireballs, or raising corpses and turning them into zombies like me.
Third-level wizards begin to understand and fall in love with magic in earnest. It is a state where you know how to clearly ask the world for what you want, and where you have your own beliefs about magic and the direction you pursue. From this point on, you will be able to confidently say ‘I am a wizard’ wherever you go.
The 4th level wizard stands at the edge of the cliff called magic, and from the 5th level onwards, he just jumps off the cliff and continues to fall towards the unknown ‘end of magic’.
Going beyond each hierarchy, meaning harmony, wholeness, possibility, creation, and completion, to the 10th hierarchy, meaning completion and end.
Among the many characters I deleted before creating ‘Present Me’, there was a 10th rank necromancer, but that was by no means the end.
Since I was the only one who had reached the unprecedented level of the 10th rank, others may not know it, but I felt a thirst for further development, and to quench that thirst, I shaved off my build and created ‘the person I am now.’
To reach transcendence beyond perfection.
crackling-
When the collected firewood is lit, warmth spreads out.
As I continue to think while hitting the fire pit, memories slowly come to mind. Things the bitch who put me in here said to me. I was told that I had the potential to reach transcendence. You’re probably talking about the 11th level.
I still don’t know what they put me in for. If I achieve the 11th level, will my lost hymen be restored?
And I told you to pay attention to the main story. But even with that said, there really wasn’t a whole lot of main story that I knew. Most of my gameplay was focused on creating optimized builds and finding elixirs and various end equipment to make my character stronger. I tried to enjoy the main story after that.
Therefore, I only knew the background of the main story and the brief flow of the beginning. Roughly speaking, the background is that the fragments of sleeping ancient gods scattered around the world awaken and disturb the world, so they go on a journey to collect them? The name of the game, ‘Vegabond’, was a setting that suited the wanderer.
When I had just started playing the game, I went around and collected one or two fragments, but the level of difficulty was so outrageous and it didn’t do much to improve the character’s specs, so I gave up completely at some point.
There wasn’t even a lot of user strategy. This extremely unfriendly game did not even provide game progress or the next direction, so players had to figure everything out from scratch. Even though they worked so hard, the rewards were extremely generous, so users mostly abandoned the main story and enjoyed the infinite freedom of the game, doing whatever they wanted.
But do I have to head the ball into that bare ground? uh. Are you pissed?
First, I’ll have to completely clean up the goblin village and then stop by the village of beginnings, which I don’t know whether it was destroyed or still remains. It seemed like there was a high probability that there would be a harpoon, but if possible, there had to be something left. please.
As the name suggests that it is a village of beginnings, key items that can be used to track fragments were left there. Not only did I have to obtain items, but I also had to obtain various daily necessities.
First, a map. I knew the rough shape of the continent, the countries, and the locations of major cities by heart, but that was only useful information when I knew exactly where I was and could figure out the direction. It was easy to see because it was near the starting point, which I had seen hundreds of times by now, but no matter how country I was, it was nearly impossible to pinpoint the location just by looking around the surrounding scenery.
I took the beef jerky out of my pocket, put it on a tree branch, and roughly grilled it over a fire. As it is a super simple jerky made from the flesh separated from Avalon by removing the moisture using magic, it has no unpleasant taste and is so tough that your jaw will break.
Food and spices are also needed. You might say that I am full, but it was a more important issue than I thought. I’m not a machine that runs with fuel, so of course I needed something to boost my motivation, and gourmet food was the most primal yet instinctive desire.
It was possible to change the taste with magic, but it required a lot of skill in that field. A magic trick that changes the taste of snake meat to the taste of beef? It is almost impossible to accurately describe the taste of beef to another person, but there is no need to mention the difficulty of explaining it in a way that the world can understand.
There was no need for sleeping bags, tents or clothing. For a residence, you can roughly shape the earth to create a crypt, and for clothes, you can roughly clean them with a ‘clean’ treatment. While we were talking, we built a small cave around the bonfire. Also drill a small hole for the smoke to escape.
I am such an environmentally friendly person. As long as I was satisfied with food, clothing, and shelter, I didn’t care much about the rest.
Instead, the desire for food was really strong. Is it because I have a woman’s body?
It’s a night when I want to eat tteokbokki, malatang, and Tanghulu…
