Episode 15: The Awakening of a Legend
“Hey, I heard that person has been quiet until now. Why would he start playing all of a sudden?”
“That’s what it says. Is this the first time you’ve really been moved by seeing me fight?”
“That’s right, I wondered if it was really the same person. How does your body move like that?”
Of course, Dohyun scratched his head as he watched it pass so quickly, probably because he didn’t really think that would happen.
‘It’s really Kaiser.’
Is this the importance of awareness?
To them, Kaiser seems like an ancient figure or a ghost.
This is because he doesn’t even recognize his fame.
It felt strange to be praised for being like Kaiser even though he was Kaiser, but Dohyun thought it was just that and looked away.
‘It’s gone as expected.’
There wasn’t.
The goblin’s weapon that they had been treating as their own until a while ago. As the goblins died, their weapons disappeared along with them.
This was due to a system that only allowed weapons that fell in the form of drops to be possessed.
‘There’s no way the shortcut will work.’
The restrictions on wearing weapons were lifted and I even used skills, so I wondered if it would drop, but there was no chance.
In terms of balance, this is correct. My conscience exploded as it wanted more.
Rather… .
‘Status window.’
[Player: Kaiser]
[Level: 4]
[HP: 850 / 900]
[MP: 150 / 200]
[Stamina: 140 / 230]
[Class: Last Adventurer <Apostle of Kasiyar>]
[Title (2)]
-Maximum likeability from the start?
-The first slayer
[Abilities]
<Strength: 5 (+ 22)> <Dexterity: 5 (+ 20)>
<Stamina: 5 (+ 19)> <Sense: 5 (+ 18)>
<Magic power: 5 (+ 18)>
Remaining Points: 21
This time, the level increased by 3 and reached level 4.
It was an unbelievably large amount of profit from just one hunt.
‘They say it’s easy until you graduate from Beginner City, and that’s true.’
It can be said that the real game starts at level 12, so it was appropriate that the difficulty level was easy before that.
‘Hmm. I feel proud just looking at it.’
Who could see this as a level 4 status window?
All abilities are over 15 and there are 21 points remaining.
Do-hyun did not stop here and invested boldly in his stats.
‘Strength 9, agility 8. Let’s invest in the remaining senses.’
Although it was not restricted by occupation, the only weapon that could be used immediately was a melee weapon.
And even if that wasn’t the case, Do-hyun‘s foundation was a sword.
Since I was planning to catch the foundation with a sword if possible, strength and agility were the top priorities.
The second priority is physical strength and senses.
Among them, Do-hyun invested in senses.
‘Agility and senses are sets.’
Sense is a stat that amplifies the five senses.
A stat that allows you to adapt to the body more easily and increases dexterity.
The national rule was that if you raised your agility by 5 points, you should also increase your senses by 2 points.
[Player: Kaiser]
[Level: 4]
[HP: 790 / 900]
[MP: 170 / 200]
[Stamina: 120 / 230]
[Class: Last Adventurer <Apostle of Kasiyar>]
[Title (2)]
-Maximum likeability from the start?
-The first slayer
[Abilities]
<Strength: 14 (+ 22)> <Dexterity: 13 (+ 20)>
<Stamina: 5 (+ 19)> <Sense: 9 (+ 18)>
<Magic power: 5 (+ 18)>
Remaining Points: 0
This is how the status window was born.
Looking at it this way, my stamina was a bit low compared to the others.
‘Physical strength is important, but… .’
When your health drops to 0, you will be exhausted, and if you overdo it, your character will stop.
It will be covered later by applying items that increase the speed of stamina recovery, but for now, increasing stamina was good in many ways.
The higher your stamina, the faster you can hunt, which means faster growth.
Plus, since the HP increased, there was nothing bad about it in lots of ways.
But… .
‘I guess there’s no need for it now.’
There was no reason to invest now.
This time, thanks to the legendary title ‘The First Slayer’, all abilities were increased by 10, making up for the lack of physical strength.
His strength, agility, and stamina even increased thanks to the blood oath necklace he received from Charlie.
An item that increases stats by a whopping 7 in the theme of a necklace.
But the necklace’s true effect lasy elsewhere.
‘The increase in attack speed and movement speed exceeds expectations.’
It may only be 5%, but the difference is quite large.
Not only does it apply to every minor movement, but the delay that inevitably occurs before and after an attack is noticeably reduced.
This means that maintenance is faster and the probability of being caught in the loop is reduced.
It’s also easier when dealing with long distances.
That was the reason why Do-hyun boldly rushed forward.
‘If I can’t catch it with this ability, it won’t work.’
Even if Do-hyun had all his stats at 5 like everyone else, it would be difficult to catch thirteen by himself.
Even if it were possible, it would be inefficient.
However, with my current abilities, I was confident that I would be able to catch him even if all my companions left.
‘But the party is definitely more comfortable.’
It’s not useless when they say that quantity is everything, the battle became easier as their support increased.
There was less to worry about, and the aggro was dispersed, allowing one-sided destruction.
Thanks to this, it took less than 10 minutes to catch fifteen.
However, the experience points were the same. There was no honey like this.
‘For my first hunt, my skills aren’t bad.’
In particular, Shield Chief stands out.
It was quite sensible to cut off aggro with a bash at the right time or forcefully cut off the attack timing.
His judgment isn’t bad either.
It seemed like he had probably played a lot of other games or studied hard.
‘I don’t know what his characteristics and unique abilities are, but the aggro management is top-notch.’
Right now I don’t have any special skills.
Considering that it was difficult to manage it perfectly, it seemed like the characteristics and unique abilities were the kind that would be helpful to tanks.
‘What about the remaining two… .’
In the case of Mi-Gan, he made a mistake… After that, he stayed calm and shot well, and although Yubin was not very active, her hit rate was quite high.
The timing of using Manavolt is also good.
You may not know it, but at a glance, her manavolt was larger than a normal manavolt and the effect was flashy.
So it will be easier to guess.
‘The party’s luck is pretty good.’
I formed a party just because I thought it would be nice to catch at least one fish faster, and it wasn’t a bad result.
“I got to level 4 really quickly.”
“and… No, but why is Kaiser doing so much damage?”
“Did you at least pick a god of Myth-grade?”
When I turned off the status window, my companions were talking about Do-hyun.
Dohyeon shook his head at the question that came at just the right time.
“Because of its characteristics. I was lucky enough to get the title.”
“and… Even the title? As expected, you were flying during the tutorial.”
“Hey, didn’t you see him slaughtering goblins? Tell me what to do.”
“Aren’t you going to become a ranker later? I need to become friends now!”
The companions were also purely impressed by that chic answer.
Among them, there were some who were making a bit of a fuss. However, it didn’t feel like flattery.
Although I earned that precious title and my fighting skills are amazing, I never really thought I would become a ranker.
Maybe if it was a year ago, it would have been possible.
It was nearly impossible to destroy the already solidly built castle of the rankers.
In God’Ose, where the playing time was fixed, the time of 1 year and 6 months was such an absolute gap.
‘It was because of the characteristics.’
Anyway, with this, Chief Shield was able to resolve his doubts.
‘They took the goblin’s weapons and used them.’
I grabbed the monsters’ weapons and used them as if I were my own.
In the main game, which had weapon restrictions as you might have noticed during the tutorial, using all weapons was impossible unless you had the Weapon Master trait.
However, I don’t think the damage would be as strong even if there was a Weapon Master… .
Considering that there were battle-related scenes and titles, it made sense.
‘What kind of god is this? I said it wasn’t a mythical god… If it’s a god that’s good for early-stage damage buffs, is it Yeo-po?’
He was the best shield player who invested over 500 cards and pulled out a hero god.
Before going into the scene drawing process to choose a good god, I carefully looked at the scene description book, so there were a few scenes that came to mind.
Chief Shield thought for a moment and shook his head.
What does it all matter?
‘The world is wide and there are many strong people.’
I was confident that I had raised my favorability rating… I felt like I was facing a huge wall.
I felt like I was a frog in a well, but I wasn’t particularly frustrated.
There was no need to be stressed about a game that I started to enjoy in the first place.
I just wanted to party with my friends and try to defeat the raid boss in the future.
After finishing his thoughts, the Chief shield raised his shield.
“Okay, then you must have full stamina. Shall we go hunting again?”
“Oh!”
“good!”
Mi-Gan, Yubin, and Chief Shield, who responded energetically, looked at Do-hyun as if they had made a promise.
It looks like they are waiting for a decision.
Do-hyun, who paused for a moment, nodded.
“Yes. Let’s go.”
“Great! Let’s level up like crazy!”
“Should we catch 10 of them at a time?”
“Yes. It’s okay.”
“Uh? It was a joke… Are you really okay with it? oh my god.”
“You heard Chief shield, right? Let’s sweep it all away. We have the ultimate weapon, Brother Kaiser.”
While making small talk with the companions who spoke in a friendly manner, Do-hyun set out in search of prey.
It was a different start from the Demrok days, when I played solo until I met my old friends.
Is that why?
‘What are you all doing? Are you two still fighting?’
Do-hyun suddenly remembered them and laughed.
Whenever we went out hunting, we fought constantly, as if we never got tired of it. At such times, Mr. Bora would talk about the dungeon with him as if he was used to it.
It was everyday life at the time, but now it has become a memory.
‘Well, I’ll see you someday.’
Do-hyun had been in the military so he didn’t have time to think, but for some reason, he found himself thinking about his colleagues today.
* * *
Several hunts took place after that, and the hunts went smoothly.
No, it was beyond smooth and one-sided.
“Uh, brother Kaiser, it’s dangerous… don’t you think?”
“Uh, behind… No. hmm.”
“and… .”
Do-hyun‘s battle, where he dodged like a ghost as if he had eyes behind him and perfectly controlled any aggro that might pop up while dealing with multiple people, was something that could not be simply described as smooth.
Thanks to that, their party hunted down a group of at least ten goblins.
“Is the 6-minute cut a true story?”
“Wow, this time it’s a 4 minute cut. The hunting speed is crazy, really.”
Even the speed was much faster than catching five ordinary goblins.
And it gradually accelerated.
As the party’s level rises, it becomes easier thanks to the higher stats.
In addition, as he became accustomed to Do-hyun‘s unusual fighting style, his assisting skills increased and the time was greatly shortened.
They were dealing with ten like that, and before they knew it, they were dealing with twelve, thirteen… .
“Can I catch fifteen of them?”
“But I don’t think it will make much of a difference. Kaiser is too strong.”
“I think it’s a bit easier for us to catch it now.”
At some point, we hunted more than 15 animals at a time.
[You have cleared the quest ‘Goblin Cleaning’.]
[You will receive 80 silver and experience points as a reward.]
[You have cleared the quest ‘Collect Goblin Skin’.]
[As a reward, you will receive 86 silver, a goblin leather belt, and experience points.]
“Wow, the end! All broken!”
“The level was just right.”
“Nice, new record!”
When I caught the last group of goblins, I was able to complete the quest and set an amazing record of 3 minutes and 57 seconds.
The goblin leather belt I received as a reward was easily usable at my current level.
[Goblin leather belt]
[Grade: General]
[Description: A belt made from goblin leather by a professional repairer in Arde. It doesn’t have much of an effect, but it’s pretty sturdy.]
[Level limit: 4]
[Wearing restrictions: None]
[Physical Defense: 34]
[Magic Resistance: 10]
– Stamina + 1
– Available for trading
‘Hmm. right. This is normal.’
The rewards I received before were so exceptional that at this level, this level was normal.
Still, I wasn’t very happy because they gave me bitter persimmons after eating only sweet persimmons, but I don’t have any replacements to wear right now anyway.
Do-hyun, who had just put it on, opened a party window.
This is the biggest harvest I have gained so far.
