Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 165
58. Swift (1)
The reason Almond chose Rune was simple.
Because it looks the best.
The reason it looked the best was because it had a cool tone and was on top.
As always, he doesn’t put much thought into choosing something in the game.
I think that’s natural gameplay.
This was also Bubble Gum’s philosophy.
“Everything will be resolved on its own anyway. everyone. “Don’t grit your teeth.”
These options are usually resolved somehow, with only a difference in efficiency.
There may be some people who are stressed by that low efficiency. There is no need to play at the highest efficiency.
Then everyone will just play the same way.
I can’t tell if this is a college entrance exam or a game.
-ㄴㅔ
-That’s true haha
-Clearing with 1 star is okay, but you said you cleared with 3 stars
-That’s roughly correct.

“Thank you, Sangteuk and Packbok.”
Almond nodded and said hello.
I looked at ‘Rune’.
It’s in the shape of a small stone.
“What is written on this stone?”
The text was shining softly in blue light.
Even at first glance, it is an unusual letter.
[Rune of acceleration – Winferestin]
I think I gave it to you for information. What does it feel like to not know anything after seeing this?
‘what.’
In the end, I looked around and found out.
“ah. “Here’s the explanation.”
A ‘!’ appeared in the corner of my vision. find the sign
“This is the explanation you like.”
-???
-That’s not it.
-He doesn’t have to read it.
“I’ll read it to you.”

[Basic information about runes]
Runes are a method of engraving Logos, the primordial language that was the pinnacle of ancient magic. Originally, logos is the most advanced form of magic in which the speaker’s language, or signified, appears.
However, the ancient ancestral wizards who used this method had no idea how many future generations would endure the training methods they had gone through. Therefore, the most basic of logos were engraved on a huge stone in the form of letters, or signifiers. The method was called ‘rune’. In later times, this stone and the signifier itself were called runes.
Rune was definitely intelligent and had an amazing method. Unfortunately, as always, the most important signified in logos was not fully contained in the signifier. This was not a problem of technology, but a conceptual limitation of transmission.
However, this alone was enough to have a tremendous influence on future generations. Even those with the most basic constitution as a magician were able to use part of the power just by reciting the shell of the primordial language contained in these ‘runes’. What could be a ‘easy miracle’ than this? Even if the crude shell of the signifier left behind for later generations is oxidized and ‘tuned’ after it has been used once.

“…Even if it is coordinated.”
Almond ended his sentence.
Yes.
Almond read the entire explanation.
-Where am I. Who am I.
– Muchinnumm Muchinnum…
-We lost ㅠㅠ Stop it ㅠㅠ
-Wow, terrible nut shack…
-Explanation “100 times”
-1kkkkk
It seems to be a small revenge against the viewers who were plastered to read the explanation.
“and. “It’s fun.”
Almond glanced at the chat window and grinned.
“To summarize, if you recite the words inscribed on the runes. “They say we can use that power.”
-Phew… Comfortable
– In my view, a 3-line summary is ancient magic
– Is this Logos? Is this logos?
Winperestin.
It seemed to mean that if you recite the name of this rune, it would become a spell and Almond would be able to use magic.
“It feels like it’s disposable. “Let’s save it for now and go out.”
Almond thought that the first priority was to find Swift in this dungeon. Even in the story mode called Raina, I always had to find the narrator of the story for it to start properly.
He finally came out of the cabin and looked around.
It was a forest filled with long trees.
As expected, it was quite dark.
At least the soft light from what looked like fruit(?) hanging on a tree was providing minimal visibility.
Because I can’t see it well. Almond tried out the skills he learned in Civil Empire.
“I need to hear it out loud.”
Okay.
Put your ears on the floor and try to raise your senses.
“First of all, it doesn’t seem like I’m alone…”
I wasn’t sure how large this space was or whether I was aware of it.
I could definitely feel the vibration of footsteps.
Boom… Boom…
The distance didn’t seem that far.
“It doesn’t sound like human footsteps.”
It occurred to me that it might not be a person. Because this is a dungeon. It was natural for there to be monsters.
“It looks like a monster. Since it’s a dungeon, I guess I have to level up by hunting monsters…”
This is the basic format of RPG games.
Hunt and level up.
This was not much different from Lille. The AOS genre is actually a shortened form of RPG.
‘It will be different from the story mode.’
Almond intuitively felt that this story mode was more similar to Raina’s than Ran’s. The structure is much more game-like.
widely.
He threw the ‘rune’ he had obtained and caught it.
“Let’s go see your face at least once.”
I walked carefully towards the place where I presumed the monster’s footsteps were coming from.
* * *
Slurp.
In a dark forest.
Almond’s head pops out from between the dark green waves.
It’s hiding in the bushes.
‘It’s about like this.’
He places his ear on the floor again and then looks around again, repeating this.
Thump… Coo goo goo goong.
‘what. That’s right.’
The sound is getting closer. There was really nothing to see.
Kugugugugugung…!
There was no need to listen anymore.
The ground is just shaking.
Still, there is nothing visible.
“ah.”
Almond suddenly realized what was happening and suddenly threw himself backwards.
──Kwaaaaang!!
The dirt and bushes on the floor burst out. And then a strange creature jumped out.
[Earth Fish]
[Lv. 1]
Jump!
It was a monster in the shape of a fish. The funny thing is that it swims on land, not water.
This means that it has hard scales and strength enough to move across solid land like the sea.
Although it was only slightly larger than the forearm, it had teeth and jaws that made it difficult to survive once bitten.
However, that scary monster wasn’t targeting almonds.
In the first place, it didn’t jump out from under Almond’s feet. It is about 5 meters away.
‘uh?’
Almond watched the monster’s struggle from a distance.
Fighting with humans.
‘There was a person.’
Sigh!
A human, unknown at what time, thrust a spear into the earth fish’s mouth.
The earth fish jumps a few times and dies more easily than expected. The scales looked quite hard. The mouth appears to have no special means of defense.
‘That’s how you kill.’
Almond thought this was a play hint and memorized it well.
Quang!
A few more earth fish popped out.
Sssssseu!
But just like that, a few more humans came out from the bushes.
Pow! puck!
Humans slaughter earth fish with their own weapons. It’s a skill that looks familiar.
Food Duck! Food Duck!
‘It kills you quickly.’
Almond thinks for a moment.
Whether to join the authors or not.
These are the first people I encountered as soon as I came out. It’s definitely not a coincidence. There must be a producer’s intention.
‘Let’s go out.’
Almond decides that it is right to go out and quietly emerges from the bushes.
Susssseu.
“Who are you?”
It goes without saying. They did not welcome almonds very much.
chuck. chuck.
Immediately raise the window.
‘Were they children?’
The faces nervously holding spears look youthful.
The body was like that of an adult, but the face was like that of a child or teenager.
The one in the lead thrusts his spear further and asks.
“you. “What were you doing there?”
Although he is not large, he has a sturdy-looking physique. Dark and healthy skin.
‘Is it Swift?’
Almond thought that could be Swift.
Raina and Ran had a striking appearance, so they were distinguished by their appearance when they were young.
Swift looked very ordinary, so it was difficult to get a feel for it.
“you. “They asked me what I was doing.”
The guy asks once more menacingly.
“I was just watching in shock for a moment.”
Almond held up his hands to indicate that he had no weapons.
Of course, he didn’t show the runes, but kept them in his pocket.
“I’m Almond.”
Almond is introduced first to find out the other person’s name.
“I am Swift.”
‘found!’
That guy was Swift.
Almond tries to maintain a blank expression by controlling the corners of his mouth that are about to rise.
“almond. Are you a participant too?”
“Participant?”
“Are you heading to the sanctuary?”
Sanctuary?
That’s on the battlefield.
But I think it would be better to say yes for now.
To join them.
“okay.”
After hearing the answer, Swift briefly discusses with the children behind her.
And after a while.
Offered to Almond.
“Then will you join? We too are heading towards the sanctuary. Of course, the rewards cannot be distributed in large amounts. “Because you joined late.”
Almond’s expression hardens upon hearing that the reward is small.
Aren’t these pure day robbers?
But what can you do?
This is Swift’s story mode.
He is the center of this story.
“what. It wouldn’t be possible alone. “Let’s join.”
“But…”
Swift stroked her chin and looked around at the almond.
I discovered something strange.
“Are you sure you don’t have any weapons?”
Hot.
Almond was so stung that he hesitated to answer.
– Hahahaha
– I got caught haha
– Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss_ ont, its kegs caught on me
to get caught lol.
“luck?”
“I didn’t grab the weapon from the box.”
“what are you talking about.”
“There’s that box. It’s shining…”
Can I really say this?
Almond paused for a moment. I thought it was something that was provided to everyone by default. Maybe not.
But was it unlucky?
Swift asks as if she is dumbfounded.
“You mean the rune box was here on the first floor?”
He also knows the identity of the box.
“ah. okay. that.”
“There’s a lot going on. “It wasn’t bad luck, it was good luck.”
It seems that rune boxes rarely appear on the first floor.
“This place is still outside the influence of the sanctuary. Rune boxes cannot exist outside the sanctuary’s area of influence for a long time. you.”
Sreuk.
Is it because of this feeling?
Swift and his colleagues seemed to be closing the distance one by one.
Armed with sharp spears and swords.
“you. “It’s quite suspicious, isn’t it?”
gulp.
Almond didn’t know what to do here.
“I don’t even have a weapon. “You didn’t even choose a weapon from the rune box?”
I feel like it’s getting tighter and tighter.
What happens if you get too suspicious?
I didn’t tell any lies.
Are we going to fight because we are misunderstood like this?
But that was unfounded.
“Go back. I can’t take a useless guy with me. “You don’t have a weapon and your judgment seems stupid.”
Rather than suspecting him, Swift thought he was an idiot.
-What is the extreme deal
? -Swift was the incarnation of the spiritual world
. -Trudem haha. Extreme deal.
“Let’s go.”
Swift left without saying anything other than being stupid.
under. Almond was dumbfounded.
“no. I made a mistake with this choice. “It’s like this?”
I tried to complain in the chat window as if it was unfair.
-ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ
ㅔ
– Out 곀 ㅋㅋㅋ
-When you are good ~~
–
읔
ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ
Meanwhile, Almond finds this chat.
-Swift gave you a hint. You don’t need a weapon.
Swift gave you a hint?
Almond reflects for a moment.
‘hint? ‘What are you talking about?’
Let’s look back at what Swift said.
Then, one phrase stuck in my head.
“You can’t take a useless guy with you.”
Useful.
I see
It was a question of whether it was useful or not.
The weapon wasn’t important.
‘If this is it…’
Sigh.
Almond fiddles with the ‘Rune of Acceleration’ in his pocket.
“Hey, stand for a moment.”
He eventually calls back Swift, who is running away.
-ㄷㄷ The language I used to hear during my school days
-PTSD dotumkekekekekeke
-Sa Sang-hyeon, the cafeteria is not open now!
