Becoming the NPC of the Starting Village Potion Shop

NPCs are an important element in games.

Through interaction, they bring the game world to life, provide quests, and sometimes even participate in battles.

Some NPCs act as owners of large shops in the capital, guild leaders, or even kings of a nation, gaining popularity as named characters.

However, not all NPCs are like that.

Some NPCs do not participate in the game’s story, nor do they have special abilities or skills.

They simply exist like a kiosk for one-time events.

The potion shop NPC in the starting village is one such example.

Standing idly by, selling a few small healing potions at a cheap price to users about to embark on a journey, without any meaningful interaction, just repeating the same words.

Treated like a vending machine for obtaining tutorial starter packs.

Jack, the owner of the potion shop in the starting village.

That NPC, as common as can be, is me.

A chicken who has hidden his identity and returned to the countryside?

An important supporting character connected to the protagonist?

A key figure existing only as part of the story’s setting?

None of that.

No background, no abilities, no cheats.

Just a common polygonal lump within the game, without even a status window.

Having inhabited this NPC, I do possess knowledge from the original work.

But the problem is, my body itself is so weak that I can’t make use of it.

What can I possibly do with a mere 100 health points?

If I were to leave the starting village, I would surely be killed by a common goblin, let alone make use of the knowledge from the original work.

Furthermore, I have no idea about the geography around the village.

In the game, I easily found my way using a minimap and quest guidelines, but now I find myself in a situation where the game has become reality.

There are no such auxiliary tools in this world.

There is a huge difference between looking down from above and standing on the same plane.

So, it is a daunting task to venture out alone, crossing mountains and rivers to find artifacts and explore, with my feeble body.

Without background, abilities, cheats, and finding success with the knowledge from the original work is also difficult.

I am stuck in this inhabitation.
