The Tutorial Is Too Hard

What is the glamour of fantasy?

In everyday life, isn't it possible to see and hear strange things and feel satisfied with surrogacy?

Everyone has one or two fantasy desires.

It is natural to be easily immersed and fascinated by novels or films that can fulfill your dreams.

I also had one such desire.

Griffin Riders, Wyvern Riders, and Dragon Riders often appear in fantasy novels.

Things like this.

Knights flying in the air on the back of flying monsters commonly referred to as Flying Things.

Reading a fantasy novel from my childhood, I thought I wanted to have that experience too.

You sigh with a refreshing breeze on the cliff.

This is the moment my old dream will come true.

You should be happy.

Though I have become a fly myself.

“Come on, get on your back, Edie. ”

“Glug. I never thought I'd be the first Human Rider in Lizardman." ”

A class of strange names keeps hovering in my ears.

Human rider Lizardman. Human rider.

What a horrible hybrid.

* * *

[wings of talaria]

At the end of the cliff, you bend down and get into position with an outstretched wing.

“Come on, get on your back, Edie. ”

Edie was having fun for a while, then carefully hugged behind my back.

“Glug. I never thought I'd be the first Human Rider in Lizardman." ”

“I never thought I'd be able to put a Lizardman on my back and fly in the sky. I never dreamed that I would be a mount when I dreamed of fantasizing about it. ”

“Glug. Glug. If the commander wants, he can ride on me anytime he wants. ”

What am I gonna do to get on top of you?

You want a ride?

No, wait.

Is that a sex lip?

“Hey!"

“Glug, glug. ”

You hear Edie's laugh behind your back.

Unlike before, Idi smiled with a sly voice, giving me goosebumps on his neck and face.

I know it's a joke to make fun of me, but it still creeps me out.

“Hey! Don't touch my arms! It's blocking my flight! ”

“Glug, glug. ”

You're very excited.

We need to get this flight started so Edie can't mess around any more.

I'll show you what flying sickness looks like.

I will give you a taste of the agony of intoxication.

I took a step and jumped off a cliff.

The thalarian gliding effect was triggered, and so began the flight.

It's sunny without clouds.

Perfect weather to fly in.

It's a great view of the jungle stretching to the horizon.

“Glub! Glub! ”

Are you having fun?

Are you excited?

Soon you'll see hell.

* * *

“Glug. Commander, I'm going to throw up again. ”

“... Please bear with me. I'll go slower. ”

As soon as I made the acrobatic flight a few times, I had no choice but to repent my actions, saying that I would show hell to Dan who made fun of me.

Edie can't stand the intoxication. She vomits.

On my back.

I can't blame Edie for flying acrobatics because I overdid it.

… Oh, really.

Eventually, I had to come down to the ground, find a stream, wash my body, and change my clothes before I could leave again.

Since then, I've been doing nothing but slow flying.

There are no good taxis.

Shit. Shit.

“Commander... I'm so sorry. Are you mad? ”

“No... It happened while I was grumpy. Never mind. ”

Who am I to blame?

I'm gonna kill him.

Eri.

There are several reasons why I can feel comfortable flying in the sky with Edie in broad daylight.

First, information about the sub-Oi continent Lee Jun-seok sent to the Hard difficulty manager.

Perhaps the landscape is covered by dense, dense forests, making the continent less densely populated with flying paper.

Second, we stayed in this forest for 24 days and roughly understood the level of monsters on the last ride.

The situation is different from the beginning of the last car when we did not even know what the enemies were.

Finally, with Edie merging like this....

No, they're merging. It's a little weird.

It is because the dizzy enemies can be easily defeated while riding Edie behind their backs.

I am flying using the gliding effects of Tallaria, so I don't have to move my body to fly.

As you can pay less attention to flying, your luck and judgment are more comfortable in battle.

This adds Wind Spirit's Blessing and Blinking Skill.

And if Edie with the long spear on my back gives me the attack and the rear view,

Perfect.

We will never be outnumbered in the air.

At least on this 12-story stage.

With these reasons, I decided to fly to the destination with confidence that the flight was safe enough.

The problem with speed is that it is not easy to channel hundreds of kilometers of distance through a second, dense forest.

It's not just a matter of difficulty, mental fatigue is no joke.

Walk with your sword through the bushes that keep blocking your eyes, and through the narrow trees.

You have to be careful with the roots under your feet.

Lots of bugs and poisonous herbs.

Even in the hot weather.

Even if I like suffering, in the end, it's all Nogada's concept for growth.

It's good to be comfortable. Is that too obvious?

I'm focusing on flying with thoughts like this, and Edie speaks with a cautious tone behind her.

“Captain, you look like you've flown a long time. Why don't you go down and eat some lunch and get some rest? ”

“Yeah, let's do that. ”

I feel sorry for Edie's voice.

I should give her a compliment for being delicious while eating the lunchbox Edie prepared.

If you rest on the ground eating a lunch box for an hour or two, you will also get seasick.

* * *

I decided to give him a compliment to cheer him up, but it was a bad idea.

The lunch box was a compliment.

Excellent, Edie.

“Glug. Eat a lot, commander. ”

Edie smiled at me and watched me eat.

Wow, this is really good.

Serious.

You can do business, man.

In fact, Lizardman used to think he was going to have a baby, but he was completely wrong.

Edie may be especially good at cooking, but her food is much better than the food she used to eat in Korea.

“Glug. Why did you think the Lizardman would have reproduction? ”

“Lizards are naturally fertile. ”

“Monkeys reproduce, too, Kebug. ”

Hmm... I have nothing to say, that.

“Glug. You should keep that in mind from now on. I heard that humans were the only intelligent creatures in the commander's place, but not elsewhere. In the future, you will meet various factions during the tutorial. If you speak carelessly in front of them, you may hurt their spirituality. ”

You're right.

I was reckless.

I was traumatized when I treated Goblins as mere monsters on the fourth floor. I can't believe I felt at ease like this.

“Perhaps, in the meantime, it's affected that the commander has encountered an enemy that must defeat all the other factions. Thinking deeply and respecting your enemy is often poisonous. You can think that subconsciously. But not all the other races that need to be met will appear as enemies. ”

Let's keep Edie's advice in mind.

Valuable advice.

Where can I get advice like this?

“Thank you, Edie. I'll keep that in mind and be careful going forward. And if you're offended by what I'm saying, I apologize. ”

“Glug, glug. That's okay. I appreciate you taking my nagging seriously. ”

I smiled quietly as I saw Edie finishing her speech, saying that I didn't know what it was like for nothing.

He's a good talker.

That's how I felt.

It's good to see you, Edie.

It's a very special relationship.

How could I have known that I would spend time with her when I first met her in the fifth floor boss room and become close to her?

I remember confronting each other with weapons and suddenly Yidi confessing to me.

That's where the relationship started.

It's interesting.

Edie has become my only friend and colleague now.

He is my advisor, a supporter and a teacher.

Maybe it's okay to call me family.

I feel different from the vigilantes.

Unlike those who meet once every couple of months and have conversations through the community.

The relationship with vigilantes no matter how close they get and get to know each other, it feels like they are connected either unilaterally or socially.

It is because it is necessary, or because it is convenient to each other.

In comparison, Edie is…….

I have a more intimate and warm relationship, not such a hard relationship.

We don't have to find each other because we need to.

What if Edie can't help with the stage any more?

Nevertheless, I would like to summon Edie to join us.

It's good to be together.

It's comfortable to be around. I'm willing.

It's easy to empathize with each other and laugh together.

I have these friends, and in this whole tutorial, I have them.

Thank you.

[The god of adventure smiles gladly at you.]

[The God of Adventure is very pleased with your realization.]

We're finally here.

After a two-day flight, I was able to finally reach my destination.

I reach out my hand and stutter through the air with nothing.

I touched the invisible transparent wall.

You try to move your magic, but it doesn't cross the transparent wall.

The same goes for fire.

This is the end of the 12th floor stage.

The east end of a 12-story stage blocked by transparent walls.

This was the destination I wanted to come to.

It's been pretty dry since it hasn't rained in the past few days.

It won't rain for the next five days.

Wind is the east wind.

It is blowing from the east toward the northwest.

Khh, perfect.

“Here we go, Edie. ”

I put Edie behind my back and flew back up into the sky.

Edie pulls out the fossils one by one from a large sack that she had already taken out.

“Glug, can I throw it like this? ”

“Yeah. You can throw it at the tree or the floor with the idea of breaking fossils. ”

The fossils will take care of the rest.

Every time Edie throws a fossil down, it sparks a small fire.

A fossil that continuously breathes fire for half a day when it starts to light a fire.

The effect is certain.

An environment full of trees and bushes to burn around.

In these environments, the fire that starts from a single cigarette butt burns the entire mountain.

In fact, even if you have 20 fossils, and not 800 fossils, you can cause a huge fire.

“Glug. Captain, the air is hot. ”

When Edie threw about 10 fossils, the ambient temperature rose rapidly because of the flames that began to spread.

Lizardman, after all, is a warmonger and susceptible to temperature changes.

I flew pretty far from the fire and avoided it.

“Glug. I think I'll live now. ”

Looking at the flames from afar, there are no spectacles.

Wow.

Tarola, my XPs!

“If you're going to play with fire, you've got to do this. Haha.”

“Glub... Glub. ”

This feels strange.

Something's not right.

I can't believe I felt so good about setting the forest on fire.

Looking at the flames slowly expanding the realm as they burn everything, it's just fun.

I feel refreshed and excited.

I think we'll start a fire every now and then if we get a chance.

Hahahaha.

“Come on, Edie, throw a fossil over there. Let's build a fire faster. More, more! ”
