The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[1st time, 28th. 4: 05]

Luckily, I didn't fall asleep late.

I took the barrel out of my inventory, washed it roughly, and looked around.

It's in the waiting room.

28 days at last.

The D-day is set as the Maginot line for clearing.

For the past 28 days, I have been focusing solely on growth, rolling and breaking.

In the meantime, how many times have I been in mortal danger? Not a single day.

And today I challenge you to clear the first floor of the tutorial.

I felt excited because it was the day of the battle.

Before we left, I reopened my inventory for you.

I took out the jerky I saved for today.

Sweet Pork Jerky, not the salty beef jerky you usually eat.

One last batch of pork jerky in your inventory.

It's hard and tiresome, so I can eat comfortably and feel the spicy seasoning in it, and I don't feel it with my knife.

After chewing the jerky, I swallowed the well and wiped the grease off my fingers.

Finally, I drank another sip of water and put the bucket in my inventory.

“Community.”

A community board to communicate with survivors in the tutorial.

Although there were only survivors on the Hell difficulty level, many survivors on other difficulties remained.

Different difficulties have led to different tutorial stages, but there were some commonalities.

And on the other difficulty level, there were already people who had cleared the first floor. Some of them were cleared and the information they obtained was published on the bulletin board.

After taking a look at the community for new information, I turned off the community window.

It's time to go.

[Do you want to enter the stage?]

“Yes.”

[Welcome to the tutorial stage, Hell difficulty level 1.]

My body was caught in the light, and one day, I arrived on the first floor of the tutorial.

The usual dark straight hallway.

After today, we won't have to see this corridor anymore.

I started lightly jumping down the dark corridor.

I used to have to be careful because of the dark, but now I'm different.

Eyes glow in the dark.

[Implication Lv.2]

[Eyelight Lv.1]

The implication is a skill that allows you to see more clearly in the dark.

The intensity is unclear, but the implication alone makes it possible to move without any constraints in the dark.

Moreover, I gained a clear vision even in the dark by gaining eyelight skills.

Eye Light skill is the only active skill I have.

When used, emit reflected light from the retina forward.

The way the long cats' eyes shine on the streets at night.

Rarely consumes light eyesight skills.

The exact figures are not known because MP is not displayed.

But it remained active all day long.

Maybe it's a skill without magic consumption.

I continued running without stopping.

It's a long way to go, but you don't have to walk to save your health.

It has health stats that have grown over the years.

Besides...

[Charging Lv.1]

I also have a skill that aids in running.

I feel lighter and less physical consumption when I run.

Not only did it make it easier to run, but it also sped up pretty fast.

Running makes me feel refreshed.

I didn't know it in the past, but running was quite pleasant.

Running like that, you suddenly get close to the first arrow trap.

There are no markings, but after several passes through here, I have a rough feeling.

The black patterns on the ceiling... It's a strange glamour spot.

Wh... Wh...

You hear two arrows firing from a distance.

[Sense Enhancement Lv.3]

This skill not only enhances hearing, but also vision and touch.

The taste and smell were enhanced.

Before, I could not detect the sound of arrows firing, nor the sound and appearance of them flying.

It wasn't until I put an arrow in the shield that I realized.

Puk-

Puk-

The first and second arrows are embedded in the shield.

Then the third arrow flies.

You turn your head away from the arrow that flies towards your glabella.

And then.

Jump!

The last arrow passes beneath your feet.

Thanks to the increased agility stats, this level of arrows can be easily avoided.

Experience, motor nervousness, and concentration grew larger than before.

The first arrow traps clear through.

I ran forward without stopping.

It's a long way to go.

Blah, blah. Blame.

Slowly speed up.

Arrows are fired from the ceiling toward the left face.

The user looks at the arrow and calmly blocks it with its shield.

Unlike the previous arrows, it penetrates through the shield with high penetration power.

When I first stopped this arrow, my left arm was pierced with a shield.

Then to the right.

Tik-

You swing your right hand horizontally to strike the arrow.

After chasing after a deceptive opponent, the addiction caused him to freeze.

I was shot with arrows for failing a few times.

[Basic Slash Lv.1]

[Slash Lv.1]

But as a result, you got skills.

Next is the forward arrow.

Even as I grew up, I could not detect the trajectory and sound of this arrow flying.

We just anticipate the trajectory of the arrow as we remember it.

The user leaps forward, avoiding the arrow in front of it.

A few arrows pass beneath it.

After that, I landed rolling forward.

You see the last arrow above your head and then stand up and start running again.

There are a mix of arrows that are sometimes so hard to detect.

In retrospect, it was the same when he first challenged the first trap.

The first and second arrows were not even detected.

The third arrow looks away from you.

The last arrow even sounds like it's firing.

I couldn't avoid it, of course.

Sound and velocity vary from arrow to arrow.

As I memorized the patterns of these arrows, I thought:

This is really training. It's a tutorial.

I felt a willingness to grow challengers.

The harder it is to avoid, the easier it is to detect. The easier it is to avoid, the quieter it flies.

Now, get out of my way.

You'll want to avoid this with your eyes. I'll shoot you in the face instead.

The last one's still hard to avoid, isn't it? I'll give you a big shot.

Like this.

If these were traps aimed at killing, it would have been easier to kill them.

Ordinary people, of course, were traps on the difficulty of death.

And the trap you're about to see was the most dangerous one at the beginning of this first floor of the tutorial.

An invisible ridge unfolds on the floor.

Approximately 20 meters wide. There is only one rope that can be crossed from the end of the cliff to the end.

When I first arrived at this trap, I was unable to learn the implications, and I almost fell into a sudden tumble.

Luckily, I was able to hold onto the rope and survive, but I almost fell to my death.

After all, this trap is a slow crossing.

Strength and health stats make crossing easier.

The problem is a flying arrow that seems natural.

While hanging by the rope, I couldn't help but get hit by the flying arrow.

Risk of arrows and risk of falling. I don't know how many times I almost died in this trap.

But...

Blame it.

I ran forward without slowing down.

When you reach the front of the rope, you continue running on the rope instead of hanging from it.

The arrows fly with a hiss, but there are no arrows to match.

The ability to run without falling on a rope was a result of balancing skill.

This skill is combined with a sensory enhancement skill.

I learned that similar skills can be combined.

You cross the most dangerous cliff trap.

Now it's time to set the toughest trap.

Now, from here on out, it's a run. 30 minutes is a run.

There's a trap 30 minutes from the jump.

And the next one is a half an hour away.

Repeat a few times.

An arrow that suddenly appears while walking a long distance in tension without a trap.

A deadly trap.

It is mentally challenging to move that long distance under tension and anxiety, but arrows fly without sound at points that can be relieved.

Moreover, the distance is unclear. Jump in for about half an hour.

It's not even a regular distance from the feeling.

Eventually, you need to run without slowing down and be aware of and avoid arrows when they fire.

It is a fight with myself that I should not concentrate for a long time.

[Combat Focus Lv.5]

Without one of the first skills in the tutorial, this combat intensive skill might have been really dangerous.

But now I can maintain as much focus as I can as I can while running long distances, keeping an eye out for the arrow that might fly.

And if we keep our focus, we should be able to detect and avoid any unexpected arrows.

For the last 28 days, I felt proud of myself for growing this much.

Feel the fresh air hitting your face.

I kept running forward.
