The Tutorial Is Too Hard

This concludes all the issues that had to be solved on the day of the settlement.

The meeting is over and things seem to be going well for Park Jung-ah.

It was not just a matter of her attitude, but also a big harvest just to confirm her humanity.

Honestly, Park was often too hard and mechanically afraid of people.

She was calm and gravely looking when she blew the enemy's head off with a handgun.

As the head of the organization, it would certainly be an advantage to always maintain a sense of irony.

But if it's inhuman enough, people around you won't believe it and follow it.

Park Jungah has decided to consciously try not to treat me like a superior.

Respect was also guaranteed to be omitted as much as possible and to be treated as a close friend.

However, instead of being comfortable, I began to treat it more uncomfortable than before.

He turns his head when he meets his eyes, or he flinches around instead of talking to me.

Running away like you just did.

It's just awkward.

Once I get used to it, I feel more comfortable than before.

And there was a small, but brief issue that Edie was upset.

Looks like they made it too severe during the meeting.

She has no idea what anyone else is saying.

Only I can communicate with her.

But I haven't cared about her all day long, so my heart aches.

I was going to talk to him, and he turned his back on the corner of the tent.

You told me not to wake you.

You must have been very disappointed.

It's just edie and me and Min-hyuk sleeping in the corner right now.

Park Jong-seok went out with Park when she left the tent.

I turn my head to look at Min-hyuk Kim, and he's doing something strange.

“What are you doing? ”

“Don't you see? ”

Kim Min-hyuk held a wooden piece in one hand and a carving knife in the other.

And I'm carving a piece of wood with a sculpture knife and making a shape.

“Finally, you decided to walk the Moonlight Sculptor path? ”

“What are you talking about? It's a hobby, a hobby. ”

A hobby.

I used to weave scarves and socks as a hobby, or make gloves and a coat.

Oh, I used to make hats.

When I opened my inventory, the clothes I had made were still there.

“What, were you a seamstress? Fragments are better. Fragment skills are tricky. ”

“That's the protagonist Buff. Common sense, sewing is much better. What are you suddenly a piece of? Bored?”

When I started sewing as a hobby, I was mentally limited.

When I sit with my eyes open, I hurt myself to improve my immunity skills.

You don't even know that you can meet other people on a day like this. Alone.

At some point, pain became the only stimulus in my life, and I began to feel something like pleasure through intense pain.

Every time I smiled and hurt myself, I thought I didn't want to go up any more than I did in pain.

Even the pain would be dull, my life would be dull.

I became obsessed with talking to myself more and more and more obsessively torturing myself.

It's not just about raising your immunity skills, it's about making them more painful and more dangerous.

At some point I realized my actions were too dangerous and my mental state was not normal.

I considered myself mentally ill.

In situations where I could not avoid or escape the situation, I found three options:

It wasn't that grand.

First of all, looking at the community every day for a certain amount of time.

I watched people talk in the community, even if I didn't have any questions.

Living regularly on a daily schedule.

The last one was to create hobbies.

In my leisure time, I forgot all about tutorials, skills, growth and levels, and focused on knitting and sewing.

Now that I think about it, all three were effective methods.

“... I see you've been through a lot. No, this isn't just hard work. I don't do that. I've got a house on the 30th floor this time. But there's nothing like interiors, so I'm making them myself. ”

It's expensive if you buy it at points.

"Min-hyuk Kim added.

Home.

I heard that the 30-story residential area can pay for points and buy buildings and land in the residential area and use them as property.

Home.

Hmm... Well, that's good.

I'm not jealous.

“Call your friend Lee Jun-shik or Lee Jun-seok again. We have to increase the resistance.”

“Got it.”

Min Hyuk replied and opened the message window with a short yawn.

“But aren't you going out? ”

“We should go out and meet people and talk to them. It's just more work. I'll just stay here until the day of the settlement is over. Are you really not going out there? ”

“This is my tent, man. ”

Actually, I feel a bit uncomfortable going out and meeting people.

You should be the only one who's afraid of me.

“The continent of Aegis? ”

“Uh, can you get the intel by the end of this car? ”

“Yes… but…. ”

I asked Joon-suk Lee to gather information about the 12th floor stage and the continent.

Lee Jun-seok is an exempt vigilante from the obligation to collect information.

Exemption Reason gathers information for stage clearance.

Joon-suk Lee needs information for himself, so we can't ask him to gather information like a hunk.

“What is your Magic Circuit Skill Level now? ”

“3…… ”

Magic circuit skill level 3.

Perfect.

The application of magical power is a really tricky area.

“Here, put this on. ”

I took a bracelet from my inventory and gave it to Lee Jun-seok.

“This is the arm you received as a reward for clearing the 10th floor of Hell difficulty. Increases Magic Circuit Skill Level by an additional effect. It's not the same level as those merchandise items. Try it on for now. Let me explain.”

Wearing this leather magical bracelet increases your Magic Circuit Skill by one level.

The level of magical circuit skill means how much more proficient and seamless the magical power is through the magical circuit.

And the way that magic works, you just have to teach it to yourself.

Swordsmanship and spear skills are somewhat intuitive, even if they are not experts.

You can swing it like this. It makes you more likely to pose. Like this.

But there is no such thing as the operation of magic.

I just have to wake myself up from the beginning to the end with the feeling of heading to the bottom.

And because of that, this magical bracelet is more precious.

It is worthwhile to experience the magical power above a level by borrowing the power of an item.

“With a little experience like that, it's only a matter of time before your skills level up to level four. And then the bracelet goes to level five. If you work hard enough, your skill level will soon be level 5 again. That's how you keep climbing. Right?"

Lee Jun-seok nods.

“Pretty cool, huh?"

“Yes.”

“Deal?”

“Yes! Deal. ”

Good. That went well.

In fact, it's not going to work out ideally as described.

Apart from the experience, you will have to work a lot, a lot.

It reduces effort by about 80.

“I'm just giving it to you because I think you're the best kid I've seen lately. Oh, don't tell the other kids. ”

I didn't know about Lee Jun-seok until I met him in the tent today.

That's what you're supposed to say.

Lee Jun-seok started using his electroshock skill with a brighter face.

Kim Min-hyuk next to him said, 'That guy sells drugs.’ I'm looking at me.

“Oh, I have to meet Hyun-jin. Talk to him later with me. ”

“The third floor of Hell difficulty? ”

“Uh, I think he's in a bit of a bad shape. ”

I briefly explained to Kim Min-hyuk the contents of the conversation with Lee Hyung-jin recently and the 3rd floor of Hell difficulty.

“Well, I don't think meeting him is going to solve it. I think it's a way to let it go. ”

“Is that so?"

“What you can do is tidy up, but that's not going to touch you. You made it through the third floor pretty easy. ”

I did.

I passed in maybe two or three days.

“Just leave it alone, for now. ”

Okay. Okay.

The idea of meeting Lee Hyung-jin and talking to him was blown far beyond the universe.

I'd rather listen to Min-hyuk Kim than my opinions about treating people.

I don't know what to say. I'm annoyed.

So... what do we do now?

I looked back and saw Kim Min-hyuk who began to cut down the pieces of wood hard.

“Hey."

“Why. Can't you see I'm concentrating? ”

“Boring.”

“... Hey, Joon-suk, don't you have stronger skills? ”

* * *

The day of the settlement was over, and the end of the 14th car came to a close.

It is time to say goodbye to this house that I have loved for the past month.

Home.

The cave used to be the home of the 12th floor stage.

I kept calling home, home, and now I really feel at home.

The surrounding bushes outside the cave are well organized and decorated like a garden in front of the house, and there is also a toilet a little distance away.

Well-cleaned interiors and household appliances and cookware are well organized at the same time.

I see traces of Edie decorating, organizing and making whenever I have time.

It's like home.

“Isn't that right? ”

“Glug, I feel the same way. ”

I didn't feel this way in the studio where I lived before coming to the tutorial.

At that time, it felt like a prison where I was being held.

Does Edie feel the same way?

“Glug. I'm a little different, commander. I'm really the first house this cave has ever owned. ”

Seeing Edie speaking boldly, I thought I might ask her a detailed story.

Would you excuse me?

No, it's not a question of manners, it's a memory that might hurt her.

But Edie narrated her story, worrying about me.

“Glug. I couldn't live with my people in the district. I stayed homeless in a nearby forest. Due to the circumstances around me, I didn't have a proper base, like this cave, and had to move around homeless every night. ”

... I always think when I hear about Edie's past.

Why was she banished by the other Lizardmen?

I'm not asking.

“And even the memories of that time, the unclear tutorial stage is not my home. It's like a prison. I am always grateful to the commander for bringing me out. ”

"I got him out."

Do I have to put it that way?

I've asked Kirikiri before.

If a player other than me meets Edie in the fifth floor boss room, does she know me?

Was it Edie I summoned?

Kirikiri's answer was:

Italtar on the fifth floor of the boss room is the same and different being I summoned.

If someone meets Itdaltar in the fifth floor boss room, Itdaltar won't remember meeting me.

And Italtar said he didn't lose his memory, he had never met me in the first place.

Edie was confused when she heard the answer.

From then on, I started calling her Edie, not Itatar.

Suddenly I got caught up.

I wanted to talk to Edie about something, but I couldn't think of anything to say.

As the complex heart was not unraveling, several messages appeared in succession before my eyes.

[You have failed to clear the 12th floor of the Hell difficulty level, tutorial.]

[Heals all status conditions and injuries.]

[Gives additional rewards based on play history.]

[Poison Lv.1 has been obtained.]

I thought I'd get some points for an extra reward, but I received a skill unexpectedly.

Well, I couldn't clear it, but just by playing the record, it's perfect.

You've spent 25 days of leisure and training, guaranteeing your goal of surviving.

“Glug. Three days in the waiting room now. Not bad.”

“No, it's a nine-day waiting room. ”

To be precise, you will be in the waiting room for three days, while the remaining six days will be mainly in the campfire room.

“Glug? Six more days in the waiting room? So you can't clear the 12th floor? ”

“That's right. Twelve floors I'm going to challenge a couple of times. I can't cross twelve floors like this. The perfect conditions for training like this will never reappear. ”

We don't have to spend a lot of time, hunt alone in the jungle, bother looking for anything, or stop it.

Above all.

“Let's get those fake dragons. ”
