The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[Room 19]

[Good battle, challenger.]

I disagree.

This battle is over in 10 seconds since I started using skills.

You can call this a good battle.

[I've learned a lot from your battle. I'll be busy for a while.]

I looked at the monk's face, murmuring and laughing.

That's ridiculous.

The monk falls to the ground, bleeding from his chest.

The blade of the dagger was in your chest for half a turn, but you don't seem to have any problem smiling and talking.

“You'll be busy for a while? Are you sure I won't kill you right now? ”

[None. But he's also not bad.]

Crazy bastard.

“Crazy bastard.”

I passed by the monk, muttering profanity.

It's not right to admit defeat and kill an opponent who is not willing to fight.

Usually I'd stab and kill all the tribesmen I see.

Strange. My judgment is different than usual.

Is it because monks look like humans?

It reminds me of Edie who told me not to judge others by their appearance.

There is no greater or less prestige in their lives because their appearance is similar to that of humans or because they look like monsters.

But I don't think that's the reason.

It's not like I've never met an enemy that looks like a human.

Nineteen victories on stage on the 13th floor, killing monks.

Five times.

I don't know.

The monk walks past the monk, opens the tree door and leaves the room, feeling uneasy.

[Challenger, you'll have to be careful from room 20. One piece of advice: close your eyes.]

... Oh, my God.

“Predict your opponent's movements and thoughts in battle. You are too obsessed with perfecting your martial arts form. But in the end, isn't martial arts meant to be fought? ”

[Haha, thank you. I appreciate the advice. Contrary to what the Lord said, you weren't the least bit of a challenger.]

After leaving room 19, another message appeared.

[Do you want to continue?]

Yeah, I'm fine.

I closed the tree door in room 19 and cleared up my thoughts for a moment in the hallway.

Am I crazy?

Are you having a psychotic attack?

You grope the surrounding wall and examine its magical response.

There was no magical reaction to the ceiling, walls, floor, or anywhere else.

This is the stage of the tutorial.

In the next round, everything is reset.

The dead monk will be resurrected, and all previous memories will be lost.

But why would I do such a meaningless act?

I've made a commitment before.

No matter how much time passes, they are destined to come back to life, and even monsters who are not human should take their lives lightly.

I made a commitment not to enjoy killing them like a game.

It wasn't about being nonviolent or pacifist.

To clear, I've killed as many enemies as I need to grow up.

Many enemies have been killed again through repeated challenges.

The moment I fought them and killed them, I never felt pity, grief, etc.

But what did I just do?

[The God of Adventure watches over you.]

[The god of slowness watches over you.]

… I don't know.

Maybe it's a simple transformation.

Shit, I gotta find out if any of the players are psychiatrists.

[Room 20]

[Welcome, challenger. You must have worked hard to get here.]

The monk in room 20 welcomed me.

The higher the monk's room, the stronger he gets and the softer he treats me.

Is the theme of the stage a higher level of kindness with your skills?

[Have a seat for a moment. It's going to take you a while to adjust.]

As the monk said, I sat on the floor silently.

The environment in room 20 was heterogeneous.

The previous rooms were also locked in the darkness without a single candle.

But the darkness in room 20 was slightly different.

It's not just the darkness.

Something is blocking my view.

Magic? I don't feel a magical reaction.

It's like... a sense of power.

I've never seen such a dark field before.

I rub my eyes and look straight ahead.

I don't see a monk within a few steps.

I focused on my vision and looked for a long time, but I couldn't see the monk at all.

I can't see my hands, not even a monk.

That's why I told you to close your eyes.

Magic powered up.

Activating a sensing skill reveals the location and appearance of the monk.

This won't be enough to fight.

[Don't take it too seriously. I'm on the same terms.]

“You've been here a few days, and this is how it's done. ”

[Haha. That's the challenge's destiny.]

Where did I just say there was something to laugh about?

When I was practicing my sensing skills, I restored my experience of scrutinizing the surface of the object with magical powers.

Not just the location and shape of the monks, but the look on their faces as well as the look on their clothes.

Now that I had gotten used to Magical Management, I was able to concentrate my mind for a while and make it easy.

The problem is that fighting in this state is another problem.

I got up from my seat.

[Are you sure? You're not used to it yet, but I can wait a little longer. I want to fight after you've fully adapted to the environment in this room.]

“I'm sorry, but we can stop talking. I need to stay focused. ”

The monk, in my words, stood up without answering, straightening his posture.

Keeping your focus on the monk's appearance, you draw your sword during the day.

This is gonna be hard.

Spends too much focus on horsepower operation applied with sensing skills.

I need to end with an empowerment skill that does not consume my mental strength.

First, I closed my eyes.

Focus is distracted by invisible vision.

It is better to close your eyes and concentrate on what is sensed through magical force.

Room 19, when I thought the monk's advice was appropriate, I felt angry for some reason.

[Spiritual Exploitation]

As soon as you debuff the monk with a soul exploit, you use flashes to move to the monk's side.

I was not sure that I could measure the distance correctly, so I chose the side rather than the front.

The blade that swings at the monk's neck cracks the air.

Shit, you can sense it moving in this space with flashes?

I felt a strong dizziness as I focused on the monk dodging the blade as he lowered his posture through magical operation.

I squeezed my concentration to maintain my magical operation.

Monk's reign is coming.

It was too late to avoid.

You picked up your shield and stopped it.

Kuang -

With the sound of the cannonball dropping, your body flies backwards and hits the wall.

Kuhek.

When my back hit the wall, a strong shock struck me again.

The shield... I can't see it, but it must be devastated.

[Challenger...]

Another monk opened his mouth.

It will be a story that we can fight after becoming more familiar with this space.

You put the shield and one-day sword back into your inventory and pull your magic back up.

[wings of talaria]

You summon the wings of the Tallaria to wrap around your entire body and cross your arms to protect your head.

[flashing]

The monk was struck with flashing lights.

The wings of the Tallaria absorbed the primary shock, but my body was struck by the wings of the Talia and I had to endure the secondary shock accordingly.

Shit, I'm like, "Let's be sick just like you and me. ’I don't know how long it's been since I've had an attack like this.

I was shocked, but much better than the monk would have been shocked.

First, I woke up and threw the dagger to a distant monk.

The monk surprisingly strikes the flying dagger directly into the capital.

[flashing]

But I couldn't stop my hand from flashing once again.

A blade of magical power wrapped around my hand tore the skin of a monk.

Swinging Monk Kick.

This is dangerous.

[Battle Focus]

Dammit, I've used up all my concentration in combat, but I can't help but avoid it.

I checked too late.

It looks like a kick.

I did not even check the first half of the movement properly.

Magic moves like that detect the position of the attack, and you can't respond.

Rather than a matter of horsepower, the focus was shifted immediately after successful attacks.

[Iron Wall]

Soon, I focused my magic on the sides that would be hit by the monk's kick.

You don't have to die in a punch.

The battle has been unfocused.

We are not in a situation to stay focused for long.

Boom!

Again, I had to fly backwards and hit the wall.

Eww.

I got rid of the pouring through my mouth and focused again on the monk and my body.

First of all, my body... is out of ribs.

You're gonna be in a lot of pain soon.

Other than that, there are no injuries that would interfere with movement.

A monk is rushing towards me.

A monk already possessed with poison.

If you hold on, you win.

You hold the dagger in reverse with your left hand, and the blade in your right hand.

I've never used two swords before.

Instead of aggressively using both swords together, the left arm holding the dagger will be used as a shield replacement.

I'm the expert on this side.

There won't be many people in the world who use an arm shield better than me.

[Ahhhh!]

I thought, I saw a monk rushing towards me.

Now, let's get used to this space.

* * *

Phew.

This is the best way to adapt to something.

If it does not adapt, the body will adapt somehow to live.

The poisoned monk quickly finishes the battle, pushing me into a frenzy.

In order to prevent and spill the monks' troubles, I had to somehow adapt to this space and accurately detect the monks' movements.

Of course I was successful.

“That's how you win the battle. ”

[Yes. It was a good battle, challenger.]

Do you think so?

It becomes addicted to poison, relentless in pursuit of its target, and eventually becomes motionless due to its addiction.

If I were the Monk, would that be a good battle?

Thinking about it, I put an empty potion bottle in my inventory.

The monk coughs and vomits blood.

The poison will be intense.

You removed the antidote potion from your inventory.

“An antidote potion. If you answer the question, I'll give you this. ”

[If I can tell you.]

In the meantime, you're sitting on conditions.

No, you're lying.

“How many rooms are there in this place? ”

[There are 33 rooms. There will be a reward in the last room.]

Thirty-three.

There are too many of them.

[Is that the end of the question?]

“No, there's one more thing. ”

In fact, we're asking questions with potions for this question.

“Tell me, how do you get used to this space? ”

[Challenger, you're already getting used to it.]

“Not as much as you. I want to hear your tricks. ”

[In other words, you're asking me to summarize my basics.]

“If you don't want to, don't. Then there are no potions. ”

[Hahaha, I'll let you know. If you're going to challenge me in the next room, you better learn how to do it right.]

I spilled a detox potion in the monk's mouth.

Soon after drinking the potion, the monk sits down and examines his body.

Look at your recovery speed.

That's a hell of a body.

[Now, shall we begin?]

Shall we get started?

“Rested, let's begin. ”

[Wouldn't it be better to move immediately? When the senses that you felt in battle remain in your body, it will be easier to learn.]

Well, that's true.

Not now.

“It's time for me to eat. ”
