Boundless Necromancer Chapter 4

004. Second trial (1)

What the manager said he would deliver was simple.

-■■■: We will teach you how to use the points you earned while breaking through the tutorial trials.

There was no way to return to Earth anywhere.

Perhaps, those who have been thinking about how to return from here may not be able to see the delivery details due to great disappointment.

however.

‘I have to remember everything.’

I looked at the manager’s chat as calmly as possible without being disappointed.

Disappointment?

That kind of thing can only happen if you expect it in the first place.

I didn’t expect this tower to make it go smoothly.

If it was the intention to send it back, the penalty for failing the ordeal should have been marked as ‘return’ rather than ‘death’ in the tutorial.

It means that I will not return it easily unless I do that.

I focused on the manager’s chat that followed with my eyes fixed on the community.

-■■■: Points are a common currency used in the Tower of Trials and are mainly used in shops.

-■■■: Points can also be handed over or transferred to others through the community.

-■■■: In the Tower of Trials, even a sip of water is not allowed without points.

-■■■: Points can only be obtained from trials.

-■■■: This is the end of the delivery.

“Admin ■■■ has left.”

“Community chat ban will be lifted.”

At the same time, the people who were watching the administrator’s chat poured out words.

-Kang Seon-woo: …So it’s the end of telling me how to use the point? really?

-Kim Seung-hun: You’re sick. I’m just waiting from above. go find

-Lee Seung-jin: What kind of anger control disorder do you have? It’s been there since before.

-Lee Hee-jin: Since all stats and skills have been reset, it’s understandable.

-Hyun Seok-jin: Hey Manager? Please tell me how to get back! please!

-Park Jin-woo: Anyway, he just said he won’t send it back.

Looking at the chatter pouring in after that, I figured out the situation.

“In short, you have to adapt to this tower somehow.”

Like it or not, it had to be.

It is an established fact that it is impossible to escape from this place in a short period of time.

It was clear that he would have to stay in this tower for a long time.

So, is it possible to stay in the waiting room all the time without going through the ordeal?

Not even that.

‘I said that points are only paid in trials.’

If that’s the case, I can’t use the method of hanging around in the waiting room all the time.

The points obtained from the tutorial have clear limits.

Just looking around the store window a little while ago, I could clearly see how the system worked.

‘Literally, if you don’t get points, you won’t even be allowed a sip of water.’

So in the end, you have no choice but to challenge the trials to earn points.

I sighed deeply and looked at the sword next to the bed.

A well-forged longsword given in the tutorial.

‘I don’t know if that will be enough for the next trial.’

I don’t know what the ordeal on the second floor is, but if it’s something like a sand golem…

“I could die.”

Even after raising his stats with the Command of the Sand Golem, he is now at the level of an F-rank player.

This is the stage where we are just about to cross the limit of human beings.

At least one means to protect the body is needed.

As a player, I had to have it if I, who had the lowest stats, could increase my chances of surviving.

“It’s uneasy with just a long sword.”

I’ve been dealing with a lot of weapons for 7 years, so most of them knew how to handle it.

So there is no need to throw away the longsword and choose something else.

‘Of course, even that’s all just a beginner’s ticket, but I barely got it off.’

My talent as a hopeless player was applied without hesitation to weapon skills.

The same goes for techniques using the bare body.

Even if you can do just about everything, that’s just beyond the level of beginners.

Of course, with that kind of proficiency, a spear might be better.

‘It’s not like I have to use a spear by consuming points.’

However, my conclusion is that there is a need for a means to increase safety, except for the long sword.

‘I need a means to shed or block the enemy’s attack.’

My body is weak, so if I get hit once, I’ll collapse on the spot.

“shop.”

After thinking about it for about an hour, I came to a conclusion.

The basic longsword has a blade of about 80cm, which is quite long.

When I practiced with a long wooden sword like this at the player gym, I remembered that I used a shield together, so I decided to buy a shield.

Basically, sword and shield are common, but they are often used because they go well together.

Even skilled hunters use swords and shields or spears and shields in case of emergency.

I looked around the window, which looked like an internet shopping mall, and bought something roughly similar to the one I used at the gym.

‘Because I have to get used to it so I can use it better in practice.’

Still, if you don’t know, you’ll have to practice a little.

「Purchased the Dwarf’s Rugged Shield (E)」

「700 points will be deducted」

「Remaining points – 800」 A

high-grade wooden one-handed shield, albeit a bit expensive.

It could be considered weak because it was made of wood, but it wasn’t.

「Dwarf’s clunky shield」

「Grade: E」

「

A wooden one-handed shield made by a novice dwarf

.」

Even a shield that looks weak like this is of a higher grade, so it is lighter, stronger, and more durable.

The level of the shield that was made before the cataclysm is lightly exceeded.

‘In real life, a shield that will easily exceed 30 million won is in your hand…’

I felt as if my sense of money was slightly paralyzed.

It was natural that even Hunters officially registered with the Hunter Association obtained equipment that was not easily obtained.

Of course, since there is no means to go outside, it is a meaningless calculation.

Soon after, he regained his composure and began to stance with a shield and a longsword.

It seems that the ardent training just a few days ago was not in vain, and the shape is caught.

Even with the stats going up, even holding a sword and shield in each hand would only stop at a slightly heavy level.

In terms of condition, it can be said to be the best.

It also helped that there was little sense of difference because I bought the type of shield I was most familiar with.

After confirming that, I put down my sword and shield and opened the shop window again.

‘Basically, all items have to be obtained by consuming points.’

Then, besides these, there were quite a few small items to obtain.

They seem to be selling miscellaneous items, so there must be something I want.

If I were a normal person, I would have thought about what to buy more, but I didn’t have to.

「Potion of Stamina」

「Grade: F-」

「A special potion that restores a very small amount of Stamina.」

「Although it is a little, it has the effect of relieving fatigue.」

「Potion of Regeneration」

「Grade: F-」

「Take or It is a potion that heals wounds when sprayed on a wound.” “

However, this effect is only activated for light trauma.”

“Old Throwing Dagger”

“Grade: F-”

“Old Throwing Dagger with a very short blade. It is.”

“It is so worn out that if you hit it with a proper blade, there is a possibility that it will be destroyed immediately.”

Fortunately, all the items I had in mind were available in the store, so I bought them without hesitation.

I bought only the things I needed to use when it was really important.

Choose only the ones that can save the points you have as much as possible and produce the best efficiency.

「Remaining points – 375」

Thanks to that, I was able to save a lot of points and get useful items.

Since he had saved enough points to buy groceries, it must have been a reasonable consumption.

‘At least if I do this, I won’t lose easily in battle.’

Even if you go to a long battle, there is a potion of stamina, and even if you have a lot of wounds, there is a potion of regeneration.

And a throwing dagger could be prepared for the unexpected.

As much as I had cultivated my discernment as a hunter, I was certain that this was the best.

“With this, I’ll be able to stop buying combat-related items…”

As I pondered over what to do now, the answer came right away.

There was nothing to do during the time left until the ordeal, so it was better to get used to the weapon.

I’m not familiar with swords yet, and it’s a bit different from using a shield.

If you don’t adapt, it will be impossible to fight properly in real battle.

Fatigue has also improved due to the recovery effect, so the mind is clear.

Even if he was tired from training, the effect of this waiting room would soon disappear.

It was only natural to move your body and prepare for the upcoming ordeal.

「2nd floor community (3928/4321)」

「2nd floor ordeal start – 20 hours 53 minutes」

Moved the community and remaining time to a corner of the field of vision.

This is because while practicing, you have to check the community and the remaining time from time to time.

‘Useful information might come and go.’

After the manager left, the situation was sorted out and the confusion subsided.

However, that thought soon disappeared in the ensuing chat.

-Kang Seon-woo: I’m going crazy. All skills are gone, so swordsmanship and spearmanship are difficult. It’s like shit.

-Lee Heejin: Me too. Originally, I used magic, but I can’t use it properly because I don’t have the skill.

-Kim Seung-hoon: I don’t know about anything else, but it’s annoying that his ability level went down. It’s hard to adapt.

-Lee Seung-jin: I learned the skill, but I have to build the skill again from the beginning. I’ll take care of it, really.

-Oh Chun-seok: Hunters are at least comfortable; Ordinary people don’t even know what to do now; Is it possible to break through the second floor?

-Kang Seon-woo: I don’t know. But you’d better buy a sword or a spear and a shield and practice.

-Lee Seung-jin: Ha fuck. Even if I had the original ability, I wouldn’t do such a thing. Administrator chew.

There was not much difference from before the manager came out and said the message.

Only chats filled with anxiety, nervousness, and a sense of loss come up.

And even then, there is nothing relevant in the conversations going back and forth, so I’m not interested.

It wasn’t that he was a hunter, but he wasn’t a normal person either.

‘At times like this, terrible talent is helpful.’

Because there is little difference between me and me before entering the tower.

No, rather, I grew up in it.

Isn’t this the moment when the cursed talent that only added to the despair for 7 years helped?

There was nothing wrong with thinking that way.

‘Let’s think positively.’

Realistically, all I can do now is try.

Now, the stats and skills are reset and you can stand on the starting line.

There is a difference though.

Skills once acquired will be learned quickly and will grow even faster than me.

‘If I want to catch up, I shouldn’t be lazy even with such trivial training.’

Growth is a matter directly related to survival.

You have to work twice as hard when others are trying.

Only then will it be on the same level.

You have to use your body even a little bit to prepare for the fight, and answer the ordeal by worrying about it over and over again.

Unlike a few hours ago when I gave up on everything, I wasn’t frustrated.

Increases in unique attribute skill stats, etc.

I saw quite a lot of hope in a short time, so the heart of giving up disappeared.

‘I can become a Hunter as long as I somehow adapt and survive.’

It’s different from the days when you couldn’t do anything.

As long as you get out alive, you’ll be able to aim for whatever you want, even higher.

Top didn’t just tell me to die in vain.

If you overcome the trials, rewards are given and points can be obtained.

Then based on that, you can become stronger and maybe you can find a way out.

The immediate goal was also simple and clear.

‘That I have to break through the second ordeal.’

If that was a task given by the tower, I would break through somehow.
