– Volume 1, Episode 7
7. Level 1 (2)
[Lee Tae-yeon [alone]: Mr. Tae-san. How do you deal with Big Rat?]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: Look at the movement of the muscles and predict and stab them.]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: Isn’t that what you mean by seeing it and reacting?]
[Kang Tae-san [Alone]: No. Can you predict?]
[Lee Tae-yeon [Alone]: … … How are you going to look at the muscles of a rat?]
“Kikki!”
Big Rat roars threateningly. Taesan looked at Big Rat in silence.
can’t react
However Big Rats are creatures that breathe and use muscles to move. The movement of the body when trying to do something
The position can be verified by anyone.
In an instant Big Rat’s legs contract. His chest which rose and fell swelled.
It is now.
Taesan took the sword.
Caang!
“Kikki!”
Big Rat which was about to pounce reflexively steps back.
It is the concept of prediction.
When any creature attacks there is a harbinger. if you look closely
Blocking it in advance wasn’t that difficult.
It’s like professional boxers don’t look at their fists and avoid them but look at the movement of their shoulders and move ahead.
The other person was a rodent not a human but the theory was the same.
then from here
Taesan held out his sword-free arm.
Big Rat hesitates then runs again.
However it is blocked again by Taesan’s attack.
“Ki-ik ki-ik.”
[Big Rat was intimidated by you.]
[The judgment of the accident becomes dull.]
In the small red eyes agitation that even Taesan would notice. In Big Rat’s accident now the ankle is a place where you can’t attack again.
If that’s the case they’ll be aiming for the second easy-to-attack spot.
It was very easy to bite and the forearm was sticking out.
The decision was quick.
Big Rat gallops. body blow arm
bite the chin
“Kikkiik?”
Embarrassment flickers in Big Rat’s eyes. The feeling of being bitten is strange. It’s not flesh it’s the feeling of biting into something hard.
Belatedly tried to escape but Big Rat’s body was floating in the air. Swift movements are sealed.
“You are behind.”
Taesan slams Big Rat’s forearm into the ground.
cooong!
“Kiki!”
Crushed by his forearm Big Rat screams. They struggle to escape but the difference in basic strength is huge.
Taesan stabbed the sword to his chest without missing a beat. Her unpleasant sensations ran through her hands.
[Your attack.]
[Big Rat is incapacitated. The damage is greater.]
[4 damage to Big Rat.]
[5 damage to Big Rat.]
“Kiki profit… …
The vitality disappears from the red eyes.
“Whoa!”
Tae-San manages to relax as Big Rat stops moving.
“It is quite difficult.”
The first monster is a rat that cannot be countered with human reflexes.
However Taesan calmly arranged it.
he won
Now was the time to get your reward.
[You have won against Big Rat.
[Received a large amount of experience.]
[Health has been restored by 5.]
[You have obtained 43 gold.]
[Obtained Big Rat’s skin.]
[Obtained Big Rat meat.]
Up to this point even Taesan was easily crossed. I had no intention of making a fuss with the basic reward.
[You won single-handedly against an enemy that is difficult to win.]
[Agility has permanently increased by 1.]
“Hoo.”
Taesan smiled in satisfaction. In the labyrinth stats are unchanging values. Rising has always been a good thing.
But the system window didn’t end there.
[Your spirit level has been activated. Agility is permanently increased by 1.]
[You have acquired the basic skill [Swordsmanship].]
[You gained victory based on your wide field of view during the battle. Obtained the special always-on skill [Secure Sight].]
[You gained victory by perceiving the opponent’s weakness during the battle. Acquired the special always-on skill [Perception].]
[You faced the opponent without wavering even though it was your first battle. Acquired the special always-on skill [Calm].]
uh?”
Tae-san was taken aback. From here on out it was out of his expectation.
But the system window kept coming up.
[You are the first to win against a monster.]
[You have obtained 100 gold.]
[The title [Brave] has been obtained.]
“What are you giving me for catching a trash mob?”
In Easy Mode even if you catch a boss mob you don’t even get half of this reward.
Taesan said it with a smile but considering the nature of this labyrinth it was a very natural thing.
The labyrinth does not simply consider the result of victory.
How was the process how completely the victory was won what
Based on the method we look even more closely at whether the results were extruded.
The battle at Taishan was close to perfect score. After all he’s a solo player. The Labyrinth was just about giving him the right reward.
However Taesan who did not know him was both happy and embarrassed.
Still a reward is a reward.
“Skill window.”
[Basic Skill: Swordsmanship]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[I think I can wield a sword.]
This is the most basic skill. And Taesan which he pushed through with his skills was also a skill that he had no use for until the end.
Taesan skipped over it and checked the next skill.
[Special always-on skill: Securing sight]
[Proficiency: 5%]
[You can get a wide field of view. yet
is within the range of human vision.]
secure sight. it’s a good skill Human vision is blurry except where it is focused but if you have a secure vision you can see countless places at the same time.
This is a pretty big advantage. As you fight your field of vision narrows. So when a variable occurs it becomes difficult to respond but with this skill such a situation has been greatly reduced.
It was also a skill he acquired after going over the 20th floor in Easy Mode.
And the next skill.
[Special always-activated skill: Composure]
[Proficiency: 12%]
[It is a spirit that is not disturbed. It does not panic unless a being beyond cognition appears. A correction is obtained on the judgment.]
Calmness was also a very useful skill because it could resist all kinds of judgments.
[Special always-activated skill: Perception]
[Proficiency: 5%]
[I can figure out a lot. It looks like it can only see through the weak points of living things.]
“I already get this.”
detection. It’s a very simple explanation but it was also a skill that Taesan used until the end.
When the proficiency reaches 100% the skill evolves. When Perception evolves through several stages at the end it will destroy everything around it.
A skill to penetrate. It becomes a full reconnaissance.
Taishan didn’t get insight until the 40th floor. Even that was fast. The hard players only managed to get insight on the 50th floor.
I only got those things on the first floor.
“Damn Gap Society.”
I knew it would make a difference but I didn’t know it would come this far. He clicked his tongue for a moment and checked his skill again.
[Soul Skill: Spirit Rise]
[Skill level 100%]
[The soul saw the world one level above. Higher-dimensional souls steal the opponent’s power every time they win.]
what. this?
At least it wasn’t a skill acquired in this world. Taesan who had been groping for a while came to mind.
“… … When I was fighting an S-class.”
When 1.25 million was purely cut off.
At the end a system window popped up. I’m too tired so I don’t care
I fumble through the system window that I passed qualitatively.
‘It must have appeared like this.’
[You have entered a state of thoughtless absorption. The body and mind become one.]
[A miraculous power is imprinted on the soul. You have obtained the soul skill [Spiritual Ascension].]
[You couldn’t acquire the skill because you were out of the labyrinth. [Spirit elevation] has been sealed.]
okay. Sealed. It was because the skill could only be obtained in the labyrinth.
Now that it entered the labyrinth it is liberated
was
‘A skill that can be maintained even if you turn back time?’
It’s a soul skill so it’s a skill engraved in the soul itself. After thinking for a moment Taesan shook his head.
“Let’s not think too deeply about it.”
It was not a question that could be answered immediately anyway. He got good skills. It was one of them.
Every time you kill someone you take something away. It was no different from the meaning that it could become infinitely stronger depending on the conditions. Trying to find a better skill than this
It was hard too.
Taesan closed the skill window with a satisfied face.
“The title is… … It’s okay.”
[Title: Brave One]
[You proved that you are courageous not reckless.]
[NPCs have a crush on you.]
It’s a good name again. Taishan silently closed the title window.
The shop owner told him to come back alive and he survived. Then the store will open.
There was one thing to live for. Taishan returned to the shopkeeper with the hide and meat.
The dwarf saw Taesan return and dropped the pipe.
“… … Did you survive?”
“So you wanted to die?”
No that’s not it.
The Dwarf hurriedly picked up the pipe and looked at Taesan with a strange gaze.
“You didn’t come to meet the monsters did you?”
“I have met you.”
ah… … Then he must have run away. It would be difficult to escape against a rat but it looks like he succeeded.”
The moment you turn your back Big Rat chases you to the safe area to die. summer solstice
However the basic damage was not that high so there was a chance that you could survive if you ran away quickly.
The dwarf thought Taesan had made that decision. The dwarf who was examining his face twitched his eyebrows.
“No fear?”
yes?
“No no.”
In a hopeless situation Taishan did not break. At this level it was barely worth his trade.
Taesan opened the inventory and said.
“I got it.”
The dwarf dropped the pipe again.
“… … did you catch it?”
Taesan took out Big Rat’s hide and meat from his inventory.
“Do you buy things at the store? How much can you give me for this?”
mister?
The dwarf with a blank face opened his mouth.
“You really got it?”
“Then would it be fake?”
“… … how?
The dwarf was visibly agitated. Taesan had a face that was surprised at everything.
“If you catch it you catch it. Why are you so surprised?”
“You••••♦•
The Dwarf was at a loss for words. He barely came to his senses and reached for his hand.
“Bo show me.”
Taishan calmly crossed leather and meat
It was wide.
[Meat of the Big Rat]
[Quality: 96%]
[It’s Big Rat’s meat. You can eat to eat.]
[Big Rat’s Skin]
[Quality: 95%]
[This is Big Rat’s skin. It seems to be quite warm.]
The dwarf’s pupils dilate.
It’s real. It is also of the highest quality. It means that it was perfectly captured without being messy.
how… …
Big Rat is strong. Even his proud soldiers couldn’t easily catch him because of his speed. It was not a monster that the first person entering the labyrinth would catch.
But items don’t lie. The dwarf looked at Mount Tai with disbelief eyes but belatedly came to his senses.
“… … okay. once my conditions are satisfied
Now that I’ve done it I’ll open the shop.
His role is the store owner. If your opponent passes the condition it’s time for him to play his part.
“What do you need?”
“What are you selling?”
“I’m selling everything so just tell me.”
If so what to live for is decided.
“Tower shield. Are you there?”
“Tower shield? big one?”
yes. It’s big enough to hold with both hands.”
“Why are you buying it?”
“I am going to take a picture. Not at all.”
“… … That’s correct.”
The Dwarf exclaimed in admiration. After looking at Mount Tai in wonder for a moment he reached out his hand into the air.
“The Golden Gate.”
shit.
The Dwarf who was rummaging through the cracked space took out the tower shield. It was large enough to cover a person’s body and looked pretty solid.
“How about this?”
Taesan received the shield and confirmed it.
[Heavy Tower Shield]
[Attack power +1]
[Defense +5]
[It’s quite hard so it seems to be able to block many attacks.]
Taesan was surprised. She wasn’t up to par. With this level of equipment in Easy Mode it could only be obtained on the 7th floor.
how much is it?
“500 gold.”
It was a reasonable price. Taesan sneakily checked the gold. 243 gold. half was missing.
‘I’ll have to come later.’
With the increase in stats it became much easier to catch the Big Rat. He only needs to catch about seven more.
The Dwarf caught Taesan leaving his shield behind.
“Where are you going?”
“Because I don’t have enough gold.”
“Don’t worry about that. give it for free
Because it is.”
Taesan who was heading towards the labyrinth hesitated.
“Is it free?”
okay.
As if it wasn’t a lie the Dwarf threw his shield.
[You have obtained a heavy tower shield.]
‘Give it to me for free?’
It was unbecoming of a store owner. The dwarves did not stop there.
“I have about 250 gold right now right? with that
There should be something to live for. wait.
The dwarf kept taking something out of the space. Taesan was embarrassed.
‘ what?’
Lee Tae-yeon said that the dwarf was always picky and that he had never opened things up before showing them. She said she was very sorry when she gave her something. As if giving something out of proportion.
But right now the Dwarf was spreading it out to him like a pet.
Level up with skill
