The Live

There were three teams that passed through the red door.

Yoon Jae and Jeong.

Kim Do Hyung and Jeong Yu.

And there were seven others.

There was one thing they had in common.

In Tutorial Phase 2, everyone found a dungeon and quickly became stronger in it.

Step 4 in the tutorial has also passed a day.

Applause did not feel good.

Thought he'd gotten stronger faster than anyone else by going through the red door, but he saw people who had gone ahead of him.

‘Kim Yun Jae, Kim Doo Hyung, Yoo Jeong Kyu, Jeong Yu Ra. ’

The winner remembers the name above him in the Individual Points ranking.

Four in total.

Each one is a competitor, tied up under the name Tim, but I can't believe it's actually a team.

The applause looked around.

People who have been with us since Tutorial Phase 3.

But at this rate, not all of them could survive.

‘It doesn't matter if you can win the team competition……. ’

If you do so, you can live regardless of your personal points.

That's definitely a positive thing.

It means that everyone who has been with us since Tutorial Phase 2 can live.

But that's not the problem.

“The problem is when I lost the competition...... ”

There is no insurance.

The best thing to do is to win the team competition and rank individual points.

“It's complicated. ”

“There are too many variables. ”

I received Lee Jae-yeon who was next to her, muttering.

He knew the applause from stage 2 of the tutorial, and he was the person who accompanied him to step 3 of the tutorial.

Knowing each other the longest, they also believed in each other the strongest.

“If you lose the team competition, one of you will fall apart. ”

The group led by Park Seung Sook and Lee Jae-eun totaled seven.

However, there are four people who are ahead of them, including Yoon Jae and Kim Doo Hyung.

A total of 11.

There were only ten people who could survive. In other words, one person might become outnumbered.

“How are we going to win the team competition? ”

“I can't afford to lose any personal points. There is no guarantee that you will win the competition. ”

The applause and the group that had just dealt with a group of monsters sit back and relax for a moment.

There was only one thing to think about going forward.

Earning team points for the prescribed quota and not losing out on individual points ranking.

If you lose the team competition, someone in this position has to die.

“Why don't you start moving again? I think I've rested enough. ”

“Wait.”

As Jaehyun tried to get up, he looked at one of the bushes and said.

“What do you want from us? ”

Chaang, Chang-!

Those who were sitting on their seats and resting quickly got up and took out their weapons.

There is someone.

And seeing the applause speak, at least it wasn't a monster.

It's different.

“I hope it's not too sensitive. ”

A thick, thick man's voice flows from afar.

It was a familiar voice in my ears.

The face that appeared as he pulled out the branch with his hand looked familiar like a voice.

“I didn't mean to eavesdrop. And I didn't have a story to overhear. ”

“If you didn't come for us, you can just walk away. ”

“No, that's right. ”

Seven people were vigilant, including Park Joo-ho, Kim Doo Hyung, who was approaching casually.

Park Joo-ho knew Kim Doo-hyung and Jeong Yu-ra well.

And it was the same with Kim Doo-hyung and Jeong Yu.

“You can't be too careful, can you? We're not the first ones. ”

“I wouldn't have been so cautious if I hadn't. ”

The first time they met was in a dungeon, phase 2 tutorial.

Kim Doo-hyung and Jeong Yu were in the dungeon before Park Joo-ho and Jae-eun. Even then, Kim Doo Hyung felt an unusual atmosphere.

And the atmosphere changed even more dangerous after the third phase of the tutorial.

“Speak from there, don't come any closer. We'll fight when we get close. ”

“Oh, dear. It's hard.”

Kim Du-hyung looked lazy and switched sides with Park Joo-ho.

“I've come to make you an offer. ”

“Proposal?”

“It's not a bad offer for you either. ”

Kim Du-hyung raised his hands to show that he has no enemies.

“Would you like to hear it? ”

* * *

‘A real magical ghost. ’

Yoon Jae sighed tiredly and looked at Zahar's shackles on her wrists.

Then he looks at the body of the ogre with one leg cut off, lying on the ground.

‘The effect is clear... …. ’

Zahar's shackles increase the cutting power of the weapon in proportion to the Magic Power alone.

I attacked an Ogre's leg half as hard as I wanted to test it, and that thick leg cut through the bone with the leather.

Instead, an enormous amount of magical power was drawn out.

“I never thought half my magic would disappear at once. ”

Yoon Jae grunts and lowers his head.

It will take some time to recharge the magic power consumed.

It was fortunate that Zahar's chains had the effect of speeding up the recovery of his magical powers.

“Hey, are you okay? ”

“Oh, it's okay. ”

Regular people reached out to Yoon Jae.

Yoon Jae, who held his hand and barely woke up, grabbed his neck.

“What's the matter? Are you hurt anywhere? Looks like you caught it pretty easy. ”

The regular said so, looking at the body of the ogre. My head shakes, my tongue sticking out.

‘Who is the real monster. ’

When Yoon Jae cut off the Ogre's thigh in a heartbeat, the Regular doubted his eyes.

This was not the first time I encountered an Ogre.

His hide is tough. The leather is as thick as it is big and the skin is hard as a stone.

It was hard enough to put a sword through his skin right away.

Such an ogre's thick legs were slashed with a dagger.

“I'm a little overwhelmed. ”

“How did you do that? Did you get any skills in the meantime? ”

“It's not a skill, but it's similar. ”

The user injects a large amount of magical power to increase its cutting power.

Trying to cut off the ogre's leg in no time, Yoon Jae's sword unloads that much magic.

And the result was this:

‘I have to be careful from now on. It's better to save your magic even if you spend more time. ’

Yoon Jae was figuring out how to use her magic to fight more effectively in repeated battles.

And I think I know why magic has the greatest impact on combat power in the world.

‘I can't imagine how much stronger this item would make me if I had enough magic. ’

Zahar's shackles grow stronger and stronger.

It wasn't enough magical power to convert it to cutting power right now, but once the magical stats are up, you'll be able to invest stats into growing items.

Sss-

Yoon Jae's wounds healed quickly.

This is also because it consumed magic and activated the 'Tough Life’ skill.

Magic power.

The stats that were not felt so important when I first entered the world were now the most lacking.

“Luckily, the ogres don't travel in droves. ”

“If this guy shows up in a crowd, it's not real. ”

The ogre was one of the top predatory monsters I met in these woods.

Even Yoon Jae was only dealing with one individual.

I caught it easily this time, but it was thanks to the massive amount of magical power that had been poured into it and increased the cutting power by the 'Shackle of Zahar’.

If three or four ogres appeared, Yoon Jae had no choice.

‘I came in pretty deep...... ’

Yoon Jae looked around.

The sun was starting to set. It means that time has passed.

Now that I've gone deep into the forest without rest, it's time for something to come out.

Is that the wrong direction? ’

The deeper you go into the forest, the stronger the monster appears.

Just as the frequency of Ogres appearing as predators of the forest increased, it didn't seem to go wrong.

Then…….

“Huh?"

At that time, the regular person who found something blinked and pointed to one side.

“What... is that? ”

“Is that it?”

Yoon Jae, who was sitting on his seat for a while, turned his gaze in the direction the regular person had pointed.

There was nothing in that direction.

There were only dense bushes and trees that could always be seen in the forest.

Yoon Jae narrowed his eyes.

To find out what is in the direction that the normal person is pointing.

Let's do it.

“… huh? ”

A tree that rises upward.

Between the branches, a golden Goblin with a giant pouch on his back hides.

“That, that, that.... ”

[Tutorial Step 4, Last Day. I heard someone found a golden Goblin in the woods.

Goblins in the forest where monsters like Ogres live? I didn't believe it at first, but I found out later.

That Goblin was a kind of Hidden Piece hidden in Tutorial Phase 4.]

It's him.

Yoon Jae's eyes and the golden Goblin's eyes crossed in midair.

And that moment.

Kiririk-

The golden Goblin flew away with a strange sound.

“Grab that! ”

Yoon Jae, who just finished the battle, shouted out in a loud voice.

At the same time, I started rushing towards him faster than ever.

A golden Goblin.

The reason Yoon Jae came into the forest without rest was to catch him.

“Huff, huff. ”

“Huff.”

Yoon Jae leaned against the tree for a moment and breathed out a harsh breath.

Regular people sat on the floor at all times. The two of them were looking at each other in the same place.

No, I was staring.

Kick-!

Laughter in my ears.

The golden Goblin's face, situated on a tree across the street, is filled with laughter.

“That bastard……. ”

I heard this grinding sound from Yoon Jae's mouth.

The golden Goblin was really quick.

It was hard to keep track of how fast it was running over the trees.

At the same time, it was clever.

I made them deliberately bump into monsters while avoiding Yoon Jae and normal.

I couldn't keep up with the other monsters if I could.

Kirik-!

Most of all, he's smiling.

Pod-

The golden Goblin ridicules Yoon Jae and the regular, then starts running away again.

“Phew!"

You chased the golden Goblin relentlessly, but you hit your limit more physically.

“Bro, stop... stop chasing me. ”

After chasing Yoon Jae who started running with a shout to catch him, the regular ran breathlessly.

And in the process, the regular was literally dying of breath.

If Yoon Jae keeps chasing me, I should keep stretching out like this.

“I... can't go any further. ”

Yoon Jae was also exhausted.

The golden Goblin, on the other hand, never seems to tire. Seeing it already vanished before my eyes.

Kung-!

“Damn it.”

Yoon Jae nervously slapped the tree he was leaning on.

“I caught it all.... ”

“Do I... have to... catch that? ”

The regular who didn't know about the golden Goblins didn't know why Yoon Jae was so obsessed with the golden Goblins.

I see that this is a strange looking monster. Even the bag on my back looks like I'll give you something good if I catch it.

Why, don't monsters like that often appear as events in the game?

But I wasn't sure, and I thought I had a reason to do this.

“We have to catch it. No matter how many days it takes.... ”

“We've only got three more days here. ”

“I know, I know. Whew……. ”

“Knng.”

Regular people sat on the floor and got up and wiped the dust off their bodies.

Then he raised his head and looked around, which had already turned black.

If the moonlight was bright, stats were rising, and vision was not enhanced, it was so dark that it could not be seen for an inch.

“Isn't it time to go back? Are you gonna keep chasing me? ”

“…… we should go back. ”

Yoon Jae sighed and replied.

I can't go chasing the Golden Goblins anymore. The golden Goblin ran away somewhere.

‘Hold it tight. ’

If not right now, other people will come into the forest one day.

The golden Goblin was at the heart of this phase 4 of the tutorial. Catch him to get what Yoon Jae wants.

“Are we going right now? ”

“Yes."

“Yes, I understand. ‘Door’. ”

In Yun Jae's answer, the regular man muttered the command immediately.

Then a black door appeared in front of the normal, wide open with the sound of iron fist.

Yoon Jae looked at the place where the golden Goblin disappeared for a moment.

‘There's still plenty of time. ’

Just by confirming the presence of him, it was a visible accomplishment. If you're unlucky, you might not find it until all five days are up.

It is foolish to pursue such foolishness any longer.

Yoon Jae turned his head and followed the normal back into the door.
