Episode 5
“Pipi.”
Damian narrowed his eyes as he saw the monster appearing through the grass.
It was a monster the size of a fist.
chubby belly. cute ass.
This monster that appears with its yellow fur is one of the main monsters on Whisper Island.
Contrary to its cute appearance, it was one of the monsters that should not be caught off guard.
[New-born chick]
A wild mutant new-born chick that lives on Whisper Island. Contrary to his cute appearance, he has a very dirty personality.
Level: 1
Stamina: 30
Attack Power: 1
Defense Power: 1
It was < New Chicks >.
“Pia!”
Upon discovering Damian, the new chick opened its ax eye.
Indeed, it was like the owner of the whispering island.
Judging by the beaky eyes, it seems that if you don’t want to die, get out of sight right away.
“Can’t you keep your eyes open?”
“Pia?!”
However, the opponent standing in front of him was 10 years of rotten water, and the new chick felt his body stiffen at Damian’s eyes.
“Good. I just needed a test subject.”
Dduduk! Crunchy!
The new chick’s willpower was not strong enough to withstand the death of the former devotee.
“Beaaaaaaaaaa!”
Fu-wook!
When Damien’s attack hit the ground, the new chick screamed.
It was right in the middle of the torso.
A wooden stick the length of his forearm was in his hand and a small poison needle about 5 cm long shot from the tip of the stick.
[Blow Gun]
Weapon Category: Wind Gun (One-handed weapon)
Attack Speed: Fast
Rating: Normal
Options:
– Attack Power +5
Description: A wooden barrel. It is useful for shooting small needles or arrows.
Damien’s stinger vomited the spirit of being locked in at the new chick, and the new chick had to become the target of the dartboard in an instant.
In other words, Damian was showing off his ridiculous proficiency with a blow gun he had never used before.
“Piaaaaaa!”
“What?”
Damian clicked his tongue as the new chick pounced.
He seemed to have lost his cowardice.
A new chick fluttering its wings and Damian rushing at the same time.
“You are dead.”
“beep?!”
Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
And when Damian moved as if sliding and swung the blowgun, the new chick’s eyes widened at once.
[Notice: 8 damage!]
[Notice: Vital spot hit!]
It was a neat clean hit.
[Notice: The new chick has been killed!]
[Notification: Experience has been obtained!]
“Hey heck.”
As soon as Damian knocked down the new chick, he was sprawled on the floor.
My breath went up to the tip of my chin.
Level 1 stamina limit.
Even though he was only a new chick, Damian felt the burden of dealing with a high-level monster and made the mistake of using up all his stamina.
It was funny.
After the sensory limit was lifted by the system, Damian’s body was greatly atrophied.
After hearing the warning that if the character dies, he dies too, he put a lot of energy into the controls.
His condition was like using a cow knife to kill a chicken.
You are not using 100% of your resources.
“…I’m going to die of shame, really.”
Damian sprawled on the floor and looked up at the sky.
It was the first time it happened.
To put all my effort into dealing with just one new chick and control it until I used up all my stamina.
Of course, not a single attack was hit by a new chick, but Damian never thought that was a good direction.
It was because it was obvious that as long as the fear that controlled the body unconsciously remained, there would gradually be problems with control.
“It can’t go on like this.”
Damian got up.
* * *
[Notice: New chick killed!]
[Notification: EXP obtained!]
[Notification: New chick killed!]
[Notification: EXP obtained!]
…
[Notification: EXP obtained I did!]
“Haha…! crane…!”
Damian gasped as he looked at the new chick on the floor.
It was all covered with sweat.
Ten new chicks he hunted.
Damian went through trial and error while hunting new chicks, and improved the problems by bumping into them with his own body.
It was an intrinsic problem.
A vague fear that you might die if you do something wrong.
Realistic pain from the release of sensory limits.
Damian broke through with these two direct hits, and as a result, he was able to recover his physical condition as before.
In other words, instead of avoiding the pain, he chose to just get used to it.
“…I got something.”
Damian looked down at his dusty fist.
It wasn’t all that bad.
The sensory limit was lifted due to the bizarre curse called < Information System >.
On the contrary, it meant that the five senses were raised to the extreme, and at the same time, much more delicate control was possible than before.
In other words, it was as if Damian was able to break through his limits with the curse placed on his body, while being able to have precise control that could not be fully implemented in the game.
[Notice: Level up!]
[Notice: Level 2 reached!]
And Damian’s level has risen.
* * *
[Damian]
Level: 2
Occupation: Witch Doctor
Affiliation: None
Tendency: -9999999999
Title: Atrocity
Stats: Strength 1 Stamina 1 Agility 1 Intelligence 1 Talent 1 Luck 1
*Remaining stat points are 5 .
“The remaining stats… 5?”
Damian raised one eyebrow while looking at the status window.
Something was strange.
Guidance on the system window indicating that the remaining stat points are 5.
This number was the first time even Demian, who had been in the game for 10 years, had seen it for the first time, and unlike what seemed insignificant at first glance, it was a huge number.
It was several times the number of normal classes.
“Crazy.”
Damian looked at the status window and closed his mouth.
I was wondering if it might be a bug.
In general, it was common knowledge in AC that a rare class or lower class would get a stat of 1, a hero class would get a stat of 2, and a legend class would get a stat of 3.
It was said that it was not all about using unique and fancy techniques.
In addition, considering that the average stats for the mythic grade that comes out at an average of 0.000019% are 4-5.
It was a fact so clear that even a passing dog could tell that a witch doctor had performance comparable to that of a mythical one, simply by comparing the amount of stats.
It was a natural reaction for Damian to look at his stats and be his flagship.
“This is… well worth it.”
Damian nodded.
It seemed as if a ray of sunlight shone through.
Like the famous phrase that the beginning was weak, but the end was prosperous.
More than 5 stat points per level given to him as a witch doctor.
The gap with other classes would become more and more evident as the level increased, and it was certain that the gap would eventually grow like an uncontrollable river.
Damian, who had spent tens of millions of won on a single stat, couldn’t have known the difference.
That’s because the value of this AC’s stats resulted in an exponential difference more than expected.
“Jeong Yoo-min…”
Damian lowered his eyes.
Memories of him flashed through my mind.
The first mage series to break through level 900. Ranked 1st in the Meiji series.
And until he became the leader of the Demon King Expedition to defeat Abraxas.
Nom had said in an interview with a media outlet that he had been nurturing the character for a very long time, and Damian also knew that he was an early member of AC.
Otherwise, there was no way he could have reached that level.
Level 900 is the so-called section of demons, and as long as you don’t meet even a chance, you have to hunt for more than eight hours a day to get one job a year.
The reason Level was a gangster in AC was for that very reason.
“I win this time.”
Crunchy!
Eventually, Damian clenched his fists.
* * *
“How was it?”
“It’s not as bad as I thought.”
When the lid of the capsule was opened, the young man lightly brushed his hair.
The young man’s face was full of excitement and slight fever.
182 cm and 71 kg.
Tall height and chiseled features.
To put it vulgarly, this young man with a voluptuous physicality seemed to see the standard of a bagel man and had a look that would slap most celebrities in the cheek.
Moreover, if the background is a man who is the fourth grandson of the chairman of < Yushin Group >, a leading company in Korea, and a top professional gamer of the most popular AOS game < Storm of Time and Space > in the past 10 years.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that there are virtually no people in Korea who do not know his name.
Jeong Yoo-min.
It was the name of a man who seemed to lack nothing in the world.
“What about the materials?”
“I prepared it separately in the study.”
“all right.”
Yumin left the private room leaving the attendants behind.
It was the way to a personal study.
Antique marble interior and top-notch wooden desk made of Italian ash wood.
This villa in Hannam-dong was gifted to him by his father, who is the president of an affiliate of Yushin Group.
It went without saying that professional manpower was placed in the elements accordingly.
It was because there was a difference as much as the sky and the earth from ordinary people to the extent that the 3rd generation chaebol of the group representing Korea is said to live in a different world.
“Hmm….”
Yumin looked over the PPT materials prepared by the attendants while gradually starting to put in his head what kind of AC he just played.
In the first week of the opening, these materials that made us aware of the dignity of AC contained the fundamental reasons why Yumin fell in love with the game.
Soon, Yu-min was completely fascinated by the pleasure and charm of AC, and felt a pure desire to know everything about AC.
It was for this reason that he ordered his entourage to investigate the AC.
Arguably, since the space-time storm, it was the first AC to excite himself like this.
-RRRRRRRR-!
“X feet. What kind of bird…”
Yumin turned his head when the smartphone on the desk rang.
It was a frosty eye.
If a person were standing in front of his eyes, he would have stabbed him with a weapon right away.
However, as soon as I checked the sender that popped up on my smartphone, Yu-min’s face became emotionless as if it had never been.
[Sender: Kim Woo-seong, chief of staff]
He was a man who had been in charge of helping him in Yushin Group.
“Please speak. Manager.”
– Yes, boy. Then I’ll tell you. First of all….
When Yumin answered the phone, Director Kim continued the briefing.
It was the briefing he requested the other day.
The job that suits him best.
The item that suits him best.
And even how he can peak the fastest.
Director Kim suggested the most efficient route to Yoo-min, and Yu-min chose the most optimized method while listening to it.
It was possible enough for the fourth grandson of Yushin Group Chairman Lee.
You could ask if it made sense to mobilize manpower to develop a mere game character, but there was almost nothing he couldn’t do in Korea.
It was Yu-min’s strength and the world they lived in that any trivial thing could be accomplished with just one word from him.
The world they lived in in the first place was different.
“What did I ask for?”
– Yes, boy. It took some time, but I made it.
“How much did you hear?”
– There are three sheets.
“I wish it was worth it.”
The corner of Yumin’s mouth drew an arc.
It was a sullen laugh.
Unlike the grandiose image known as < online boyfriend > in various media outlets.
The current Yu-min was cold-hearted, or like a sociopath with no emotions.
It was a visceral persona.
How to make the public go crazy. How to make them like themselves.
Because he knew it better than anyone else.
It could be said that it was his natural talent to survive in the conglomerate family of Yushin Group.
“AC… AC…”
Eventually, Yumin turned his gaze toward the other side of the hallway.
