The crack is a very strange space. In an age where people were leveling up and using magic, and there was a magical girl wandering around the alleys with a gun, I wondered if there was anything that wasn’t strange, but strange things were still strange.

What kind of space is beyond the crack? Another universe we didn’t know about? A planet that was somewhere in the existing universe without having to go to another universe?

There were many elements that made it difficult to simply think of it as a different world. When a creature dies, it turns into experience points? They also tend to disperse widely to make hunting easier. If you catch a boss mob, the world will break and you will be thrown out. When you kill a mob, a treasure chest will appear. If this is reality, isn’t it something that is wrong in many ways, whether it’s the Creator or an accidental physical phenomenon?

On the one hand, there are overhyped companies that dig up the weeds beyond the cracks and sell them, and some countries are planning to maintain the cracks and mine mineral resources by neglecting the mobs, so I wonder if it is not a different world. Since our group is also conducting research on related products, we have absorbed some of the perspectives of academia, and beyond the crack is a simulation space! It’s a bit hard to say the same thing.

It was roughly concluded that the hunting ground that could be accessed by logging in was almost certainly artificially created by the system, but the crack was still a mysterious space. Hunting grounds are blocked by the system and guns are prohibited, but the crack is as big a question as the difference in gun use being possible.

Still, there were some assumptions that were tacitly accepted among explorers. One of them is that although there may be contradictions between cracks, there is consistency within the crack. So, this means that while you’re holding down goblins, an orc suddenly appears and doesn’t use magic. is not it? Is it likely to come out?

After thinking for a while about how much of the variable was a normal variable and how much of it was an abnormal exception, I quit. To be honest, I think I can understand it even if it’s a boss mob to kill a goblin and a dragon jumps out spitting fire. Dragon? There’s enough to come out. Rather ordinary. If it’s going to come out, it has to be at least a giant space octopus.

Anyway, there was some consistency inside the crack. It’s like when a lizard man spread his arms out in a swamp, the swamp got deeper.

The Lizardman, dressed in fluttering clothes without any weapons, did not throw a punch or take out a hidden weapon when Do Yoo-geon approached. Just spread your arms forward. The magic was activated, and the swamp, which was deep enough to submerge my ankles, deepened to hundreds of meters and swallowed up the jungle. The trees that had fallen due to this magic sank rapidly.

Do Yu-geon, who seemed to be about to cast a spell, jumped without realizing it, but his body submerged as soon as he landed.

“Ugh?!”

What is this? In times like this, you need to quickly shout for help. I was rescued using magic before my upper body was submerged. When I checked the Lizardman, it seemed like he just had a bad expression and wasn’t using any additional magic.

I flew to Do Yoo-gun’s side and checked his condition. The lower body is covered in mud.

“Can you catch it?”

When I asked worriedly, I received an unconfident answer.

“What if you walk on a swamp…?”

“You can’t do that.”

Do Yu-geon became sullen.

As he sometimes grumbled, the mob compatibility seems to be unfavorable to those who use melee weapons. Thanks to this, overseas explorers are relying on firearms. Our country is in a delicate situation due to the law. But I don’t know why the system prohibits guns in the login hunting grounds. Even if the illegal distribution of guns was possible using the system, it could have been restricted in other ways. Is this a sign that there is a future for firearms? So, did they really force the use of cold weapons?

I blocked the flying magic bullet in advance with my magic power. The magic and magic collided, causing an explosion and then canceling out. I was worried that the magical bullet might explode and turn into a deadly poison, but I think I was overreacting. I guess it’s okay to not worry about poison magic for now.

“Ah! What if it flies?”

“You can’t fly.”

“If you let it fly, I will fly and shock it and kill it.”

What are you talking about?

“……You’re saying I’m going to use magic and you’re going to cut me with a knife, right?

“Nothing like that, just blow it once.”

“Do you want me to fly…?”

“I can kill you with a single blow before you land!”

Am I sane?

I often think about it. Instead of just passing it off as puberty, shouldn’t we take him to a psychologist? Now was the time.

“Besides, this kind of magic cannot be used near you, so it will be neutralized if you get close.”

Do Yu-gun, who was speaking confidently, probably didn’t like the look or expression he was sending, but avoided his gaze. I thought about saying something, but then I quit. You probably know it too.

Looking at the Lizardman, he was losing his temper as if there was no way to kill him. Not only did it shoot a simple magical bullet, but looking at its level, it seems like it would be possible to catch it with just one use of magic. Is the reason why the crack rating was so high is because the environment is extremely harsh and the boss battle is essentially an aerial battle?

It would be easier to catch it like this and clear the crack, but there is no need to do so. It doesn’t seem that dangerous and I don’t think there will be much of a variable.

In the first place, this person did not come to hunt, but simply followed Do Yu-geon. Well, he almost always contacts me first.

After thinking for a moment, I moved my magic power. The magical power spread smoothly, covering the swamp and creating a widespread foothold.

“If you don’t have land, you can use scaffolding.”

I applied Marie Antoinette’s fake famous line. Is this intellectual play? Is proud. This is why I read books.

“I got it?”

Do Yu-geon was embarrassed, pointing at himself with his finger. When the request to send it away failed, I guess I gave up and tried to leave it to them.

“Of course. Oh, don’t worry about the scaffolding tipping over. I’ll definitely take care of it.”

I just made a stepping stone and fell into the water while stepping on it, but at that time, I was excited to try walking on water with my talent. If I decide to do that, there is nothing I can’t do.

I put Do Yu-geon down on the scaffolding. Contrary to concerns, the guy landed on the scaffolding and immediately rushed at the Lizardman without checking the stability of the scaffolding. Do you just believe it or are you afraid of being rude?

When the attack was struck, the Lizardman pushed away the sword face with a hand filled with magical power. The sword line became blurred and missed. Do Yu-geon was not embarrassed, but changed his posture and stabbed like water. This time too, the blade was pushed away and the tip of the sword missed.

I’m curious about the situation, perhaps because I’ve seen people killing people all at once recently. If you know it, is it a surprising gesture? It’s not? Isn’t it true?

Several attacks were exchanged. At some point, the blade reversed the Lizardman’s hand gesture. The Lizardman was stabbed and cut in an instant, and his experience points were scattered.

I approached the side.

“Was it just a strong mob?”

“It’s not that I was strong. It’s just that the style was new.”

“Is that so?”

“You stopped it gently.”

“Yes, but it wasn’t particularly noticeable?”

“That’s enough. Most of the mobs don’t use martial arts, so there’s not much to learn.”

Do Yu-geon demonstrated the sword strike twice, saying it was the difference just now. Umm. It seems a little different. One is a shock and the other is a sock, right? … … maybe.

“Yeah, that’s great.”

I applauded. But what’s really different? Do Yu-geon became sullen, perhaps because his reaction showed that he had no soul. No, honestly, I don’t know the difference. sorry.

Let’s change the topic.

“Let’s open the treasure chest. Maybe something really good might come out? I’m really curious. If I keep doing this, I might not be able to open it.”

Do Yoo-geon squatted down in front of the treasure chest, as if he agreed that we need to loot items before the world falls apart and we are driven out. It’s not a face full of anticipation. It’s worth it. From experience, nothing good has come out so far, and according to the Exploration League’s analysis data, the chances of something good coming out are low.

The box was opened.

[Class D/Marsilon Workshop’s special long sword]

A D-class sword. As expected, it sucks. If this is the case, I don’t know why the reward box appears.

When I looked at Do Yu-geon to comfort him, he looked flushed. ah?

“Of course! There have to be times like this!”

It seemed like he really liked it, so my mind was confused for a moment. what? ah. That’s right. It doesn’t show up as class D. When I think about it, it really is.

What was the basis for the transaction until just now? This is all because the system grades things strangely. I’ve only seen Class B once and never seen Class A, and I don’t even know if there’s Class S. I don’t know why I can’t see these grade items, making me feel bad about good grade D items. Just because it’s D-class makes you feel bad in your gut.

Do Yu-geon ran around holding the sword.

Yes.

It would not be an illusion to feel despondent. If you just ask, I can buy you something better. I don’t know what situation this is.

“congratulations.”

Due to the recoil of the crack clear, the sky began to fall into pieces. Still, I’m glad I got some results today. It’s okay as long as it feels good.

Now that I think about it, do I really need to use a sword? Aren’t you using the sword for the first time without even thinking about it?

There are many good weapons other than swords. Typically guns. If I had a gun this time too, I would have been able to shoot safely from afar and it would have ended. I know that Do Yu-geon has great talent with the sword, but I don’t know why he should continue to use the sword. The sword is just more dangerous and weaker.

Should I get a gun?

That would be nice.
