by adminThree days is a shorter time than you think.
Even if there is nothing to do, time flies by when you come to your senses.
If there is more work to be done, time passes by in an instant.
Of course, the flow of time is fair. So I was no exception.
For the past three days, I’ve devoted myself to training to the point where I’m confused as to whether I’m training to survive or to live to practice.
Thanks to this, time passed quickly. When I opened my eyes, the start of the semester was approaching.
─You have started the semester.
Suddenly, I remembered the time before I was possessed, when I was attending college on Earth.
It is a college student community that is periodically turned upside down every semester or exam season.
‘Time flew by really well when I was reading that, but doesn’t Eden have a cadet community like Bamboo Forest?’
If I don’t have it, I’ll have to take the opportunity later and make it myself.
With that thought in mind, I opened the status window for the first time in a long time.

‘Wow, what is all this?’
The status I checked in the status window after a long time had changed significantly.
Unlike before, where even the highest stat, magic power, was 15, now all stats are over 20.
My mental strength is barely above 20. Strength is close to 30, and magic power has risen to 35.
‘But why did the skills and mysteries increase?’
A golden rune newly added to the mystery category.
Likewise, in the skill category, skills called Rune Magic and Gungnir were created.
What effect does it have? The thought didn’t last very long.
This is because it was possible to check the description of skills or mysteries in the status window.
[Gungnir – S]
─Odin’s Divine Spear, the best spear that will surely pierce its target.
─It refuses to be held in the hands of anyone other than its owner.
─If thrown, it will definitely hit its target and return to its owner’s hand.
[Golden Rune – S]
─It is the essence of Gungnir and an extracted fragment of mystery.
─Rune aptitude increases greatly.
─You can control the linked skill, Gungnir (S).
‘Did you at least absorb Gungnir?’
As a result of the confirmation, the explanation came out as if Gungnir had registered the item as a skill.
The golden rune was named as a mystery as if it were a separate piece of Gungnir.
I looked at Gungnir placed next to the bed for a moment.
‘… Looking at it this way, I don’t really see any difference.’
Of course, I couldn’t find anything special. There is no change in the magic or appearance of Gungnir.
Just in case, I grabbed Gungnir and checked the technique.
I was worried that Gungnir might lose its power to the status window and become a simple golden spear.
As a result of the confirmation, fortunately, the built-in magic remained intact.
‘By the way, it’s an unexpected harvest.’
Among the three lines of explanation about the golden rune, I focused my attention on the second sentence.
Basically, most magic or magic tricks that are used by flowing magical power into a circuit have a whiff of science.
The required amount of magical power flows into the circuit, and the magical power that has passed through the circuit is calculated according to the magic formula.
But rune magic is different. Rune magic uses a different system from regular magic.
‘Rune magic is difficult to learn, but it is a magic that goes well with barrier magic.’
The rune magic of was literally a door and magic itself, so much so that it was called a magic trick among users.
Various types of runes, each with a different meaning.
A rune magician flows magical power into the runes he writes and summons the mysteries of those letters.
There is no need for complex processes such as calculating or constructing a formula.
It’s just a two-step process of drawing letters and pouring magic into the drawn letters.
‘Not having to process headache-inducing calculations at the same time is a big advantage in magic battles.’
Spare resources within the brain obtained by simplifying the process. This is why rune magic and barrier magic show the ultimate synergy.
There is no need to perform complex barrier calculations while performing other magic calculations at the same time.
It is possible to simply use the barrier as a piece of paper, engrave runes on it, and use it like a magic scroll.
… However, even though it has such clear advantages, rune magic is a very rare type of magic.
‘The reason it was removed from the game was a simple performance issue, but the reality is a little different.’
Because rune magic has the nature of letters, it can be learned through simple memorization.
Anyone can learn by studying in the same way as memorizing question types and English words to get good test scores.
However, because the structure of the writing system and the types of runes that must be memorized are so strange, there are only a few people who learn it.
‘In reality, rune magic is not something you can learn by pressing the skill acquisition button like in a game.’
Rune magic in games, like skills in other RPG games, was eliminated due to simple performance issues and competitiveness issues.
The main reason was the difference in damage and casting time.
However, to the extent that the game’s treatment seems like a noble thing, the rune magic of this world, which has become a reality, is truly a cold meal.
‘It’s too bad even though the cost-effectiveness is bad.’
Rune magic is basically memorization. You have to work hard to memorize letters and study grammar to make just one serving.
You must memorize all the runes you will use, and draw them accurately at the right moment and use them.
Where is that? In the case of advanced rune magic, there are also grammar required for development and pronunciation required for chanting.
It is literally a true thousand-character text that teaches you a new magic language and characters.
‘The high aptitude for such rune magic means that it is relatively easy to learn and use.’
─Rune aptitude increases greatly.
It is difficult to pinpoint the level of the greatness mentioned above.
However, it is an effect applied by the golden rune, which is an S-rank mystery.
A ranking system that classifies the skills and mysteries of . Among them, S rank is the highest.
Like the sovereignty of the other world, the mystery of EX rank is a mystery outside of the standards that did not exist in the game in the first place.
‘The S-rank mysterious ability correction is powerful enough to transform even a dull person into a genius.’
Moreover, E-rank rune magic has appeared in the skill window. It’s just that the effect is applied, but the skill is created arbitrarily.
The status window with the new Rune Magic skill provided me with basic rune knowledge and information.
I felt refreshed while enjoying the waves of information.
Rune magic is magic that must be learned at some point.
Although rune magic is less efficient when used separately, it is a magic that creates tremendous synergy when used with barrier magic.
‘I was worried about whether I would suffer a lot, but it was an unexpected windfall.’
If I had studied runes without Golden Rune correction, I would have definitely used a tremendous amount of time and stamina to obtain E-rank rune magic skills.
However, the aptitude correction derived from the status window and golden runes instantly solved such difficult and wasteful time and stamina.
In other words, long live the status window.
‘I guess I’ll have to leave now.’
I dressed neatly in my cadet uniform and came out of the dormitory.
Except for some unusual classes such as field training or sparring between cadets, all classes are generally held in the learning center.
It’s the same today.
Since all classes end with only an orientation, classes are naturally held in the learning center.
‘First year, second class, somehow I feel like I’m back in my school days.’
Eden was dividing the class into classes in a way she had often seen while attending school in her previous life.
Although it appears to follow a university system, it has a subtle high school-like feel to it.
The most representative example was the class assignment and class management method.
Basically, like high school, you are assigned to a class and take the required subjects needed to advance to the next grade.
At the same time, like in universities, lectures for major subjects or elective subjects other than required subjects are taught individually in the form of mobile classes.
The quality of the classes and the level of the cadets are just too high. In terms of how it operates, it is a mixture of high school and college.
‘Is there really a main story main character in Class 2?’
On average, Eden admits about 500 new students a year. There are classes from 1 to 5, so approximately 100 cadets gather in each class.
Additionally, the more protagonists or supporting characters in the main story there are in a class, the more frequently events that will further the player’s growth occur.
The probability of finding hidden pieces increases as well, which is a bonus.
‘I wish there was a key supporting role or lead role.’
I finally calmed down my pounding heart fueled by anticipation.
Phew-.
I took a deep breath to calm my excitement. I carefully opened the door to the first-year, second-year classroom.
“… What is it?”
I opened the door with curiosity, but the classroom that was revealed was unexpectedly completely different from what I expected.
“Why is there no one in the classroom?”
Did I come to the wrong classroom?
A devastated voice rang out in the empty classroom.
