The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[24th, 2nd Day. 23: 55]

Really?]

“Oh, really. ”

Really?]

“Yes, really. ”

Really? Really?]

You threw an annoying sword into your inventory with a nostalgic voice.

As soon as I heard that I couldn't get it out of my inventory for more than 24 days.

I know it's awkward and I hate being stuck in your inventory for so long, but what can I do?

He can't get all the equipment out of the system.

[Me, too?]

Suddenly, sergeant said,

“Yeah, you, too. ”

Serenia's next words are not heard.

I felt like I was sinking back into consciousness.

Luckily, Ceresia sometimes talks like this.

The timing was so sudden and irregular that I was surprised, but it was better than not telling at all.

I also put the Soul Sword in my inventory.

You climb up to the portal unprepared, and all the equipment will be confiscated anyway.

Through the campfire room, I entered stage 35.

[Welcome to stage 35.]

[24th, 3rd. 0: 00]

“Phew.”

I don't make useless noises when I'm distracted, but now I have to sigh a long time.

A familiar landscape.

It was just like Kirikiri said.

I heard the information, but once again I was shocked to see it.

I was standing at the entrance of the stage on the first floor.

A straight, dark passageway.

Dim lighting on the ceiling, embedded several metres apart.

A ceiling three meters high.

Walls and floors made of sticky stone.

There was so much blood on the floor.

My back is creeped out.

It wasn't like he was traumatized by memories from his past.

It was the sensation rather than the familiar vision.

My soles hurt.

No, not sick.

I feel a hard feeling on the floor.

The fatigue from standing on the stone floor is so exotic.

All the leather armor I had worn a while ago was gone, and the thin clothes I had worn when I first entered the tutorial were all over my body.

A modern, barmy garment that I hadn't seen for a long time was strange.

Strange things were the same with my body.

Inhalation was shallow, and the nervous beating heart was fragile as if it were going to burst right away.

I felt no strength in my arms and legs.

The field of view was dark.

Depending on the faint lighting, I could barely recognize that the hallway was in a straight line.

I became the body of a normal person who lay in a corner and lived a closed life, not the body of a supernatural person who had been accustomed for the past two years.

[The 35th floor stage begins.]

Description: It goes back to the time when you were the weakest.

Walk back in your footsteps and live differently.

There are 34 gateways to the stage, each of which is largely consistent with the stages you have passed.

Everything you get here goes back to nothing.

Whenever you proceed through the Gateway, you will be given drinking water and jerky in the pocket that has been paid to you.

Survive for a certain amount of time to advance to the next Gateway.

[Clear condition.]

1. Survive.

It was no different from the description I had heard from Kirikiri.

One difference is the information about drinking water and jerky.

Before I knew it, there was a pocket on my waist.

I opened it and there was nothing inside.

If you proceed to the Gateway, you will be able to add drinking water and Jerky to it.

I think so.

So, what do we do now?

[The penitent god watches over you.]

God of Repentance.

A strange name.

Maybe that penitent god designed this 35-story stage.

I'm sorry.

Let's keep that in mind.

I gave up thinking about God.

Right now, it wasn't a matter of concern.

Rather, we need to think about how we survive on this stage and how we should proceed.

We don't need to move right now.

The theme on the first floor is an arrow trap, and the trap won't fire until it's close.

Let's get ready and get moving.

Next, let's check my status.

“Status window.”

[Hojae Lee (Human)]

Power: 10

Agility: 13

Health: 11

Magic Power: 21

It's been such a long time since I've seen a short-lived window.

Given that there is no level designation, you are still level 0 when you first entered this place.

All those skills disappeared.

It really starts from the beginning.

What should be noted in this rustic window is magical power.

Magic Power 21.

On the first floor, he didn't know exactly what magic meant and what the number 21 meant.

But now I know.

People who start at zero or one are also minor singers, and it is common for them to wander around 10 degrees at the highest level.

Magic Power 21 is really high.

Thanks to this, I've never felt a lack of magical power when using skills.

Of course, it is also due to the use of power skills, rather than normal active skills.

I closed my eyes and felt the magic in my body.

It is indistinguishable throughout the body.

I moved a huge piece of magical power.

You absorb the fragments of magical power you encounter and make one large mass.

It's like rolling snowballs.

When some magical force seemed to have gathered, it moved along the circuit.

[Magic Circuit Lv.1.]

[Magic Circuit Lv.3 was obtained.]

Unlike other challengers who have gained skills and don't even understand how this works and how it should grow, I have a clear understanding of the principles.

Without the help of the system, I was able to break through the blocked magical circuits.

One mistake was that my body's circuitry at that time was smaller than I thought.

And the magic caused little pain by forcing it through the circuit.

My whole body trembled with the sensation of little ants crawling around in my skin.

In addition, there were some blockages between the middle lengths.

Originally, I had to circulate my magic hundreds of times, melting the obstructions little by little and expanding the path, but I couldn't wait for it now.

You use your power to break through the obstacle and break through it.

“Cough.”

[Magic Circuit Lv.7.]

Blood spilled from my nose and mouth.

It was not at the level of slight nosebleeds.

Rather than spilling blood, it was more than just vomiting.

A pool of blood quickly appeared beneath my feet.

“Huff, puff. ”

I couldn't breathe while I was vomiting blood, and I was out of breath.

I felt bad about my vital capacity.

You spit out the blood in your mouth and move your magic again.

Simply being aware of the magic and rolling it around in your body doesn't help.

I had to clear a path that would allow the magical forces that were spinning around the circuit to radiate out of the body.

A fast-paced magical wall crashes into the wall.

At the same time, a huge bang bursts from my head.

I felt a strong back pain, as if I had been beaten.

My eyes turned black.

The next moment, I became dazed.

My senses died with the pain, and my concentration was shattered.

Damn, pain tolerance.

I forgot that I was not in pain resistance.

Without immunity skills, my body felt a lot of pain and put myself under anesthesia by releasing hormones.

Forcibly raises the focus.

Despite my numbness, I desperately tried to circulate my magic along the circuit.

After a while, the senses of the body partially return.

I was on the floor convulsing all over.

I couldn't stay awake because of the pain caused by my whole body's bones and twisting senses.

It was too intense a stimulus for awareness without pain resistance.

“Ugh... Ugh... ”

The groaning leaked out through the closed door.

My face seems to burst from the pressure.

Otherwise, my eyes would be plucked out.

[Magic Circuit Lv.16.]

[Will Lv.4 has been obtained.]

[Awakening Lv.7.]

How many minutes had passed, and the pain began to subside.

I waited until the pain was completely gone.

I'm sure it's okay now, and then I see my arms and legs twitching.

Luckily, it moved properly.

I thought if I went wrong, I might become an idiot.

If you had, things would have been very bothersome until you cleared the 35th floor.

As I look around, the pool of blood that had just appeared has changed even more widely.

My whole body was sticky, as if blood had leaked from my nose and mouth as well as my skin.

The Black Dead Blood Sheep is no joke.

As it used to be, I felt like I had soaked my ankles in three thousand birds for a moment.

[Pain Resistance Lv.2.]

Increases Pain Resistance level to level 2 in a single shot.

It really, really, really, really hurt.

I was worried that my fragile body was going into shock.

Pain resistance does not reduce pain itself, but it prevents shock and numbness.

Due to the intolerance, I had to feel anxious that my body might die like this rather than being sick.

The pain that was left in my body was rapidly dissipating.

Instead, I felt devastated.

I was helpless all over.

Instead, they felt refreshed together.

I feel clearer in my head as I open my prayers.

There, the magical force in the body was smoothing the circuit without obstacles.

I think it will be much better than before if my health is restored.

I decided to sit down and rest for a while.

According to Kirikiri's information, you will stay for a total of an hour on the first floor stage.

[24th, 3rd Day. 0: 27]

There was more time than I thought.

I thought it would take a few minutes, but it looks like I've been in pain for the last 30 minutes.

What you get in return is Magic Circuit Skill Level 16.

It's just as useful as it looks.

First of all, let's be satisfied.

It's going to take too long to get out of here, and it's going to be really shocking.

Respect for your fragile body

In order to take the next step, you need to continuously circulate your magical power and prepare.

After clearing my mind, I got up from my seat.

I was planning on taking a little more time off, but I had to move on as long as I expected.

As I started walking forward, I took a hard step.

My legs twitch and my back falls back.

As I started to move, I felt a tingling pain all over my body.

I was in a condition to take care of him for a few days, but I forcefully dragged him forward.

Damn, I wouldn't wish for a bottle of Elixir.

[The penitent god watches over you.]

Once again, the message of the penitent god appears.

I turned the magical circuits too much or it appeared like a knife as soon as I thought.

Were you waiting for me to regret it?

I suddenly wondered what the gods were trying to say on this stage.

You want me to look back at the stage that I passed, dig up the moments that I regretted differently?

And if he doesn't, he'll take away everything he's been stacking up, leave you with this dreary body, and then taste the magnetism? Recalling my first fear and pain, realizing how insignificant I was?

Whatever it is, I'm starving.

You grip the teeth and lead the legs forward.

My left leg didn't move properly.

I stepped forward with one leg limping.

Ping.

An arrow is fired with the sound of waiting fire.

The arrowhead reflects the light, flashing a glare in front of your eyes.

I could not pinpoint the path and location of the arrow with my own eyes now, but that was enough.

First foot left shoulder.

You grab the flying arrow bar with your right hand.

You apply magical force to your palms and fingers, preventing the arrow from passing through your hands.

I felt like my hands were on fire because of the strong friction, but I ignored it.

Ping.

The second is the heart.

You swing the arrow in your right hand forward.

Tick.

The swinging and flying arrowheads strike precisely, and the flying arrows bounce off the path.

Ping.

Next up is Glasses.

You bend your head to the side without swinging the arrow.

The arrow flies back through the air.

The fourth arrow flies a little later.

Take a beat.

Ping.

The arrow in your hand is thrown down at your knees.

The arrow that flew low, aiming for my ankle, was lodged in the ground by the arrow I threw.

Even if the basic stats were maggots, this was possible even if all existing skills had disappeared.

Your skills remain intact.

And what remained was skills again as soon as the system came to know.

[Slash Lv.11 has been obtained.]

[Obtained Intermediate Weapon Skill Lv.4.]

[Slash Lv.11 is incorporated into Intermediate Weapons Lv.4.]

[Obtained Intermediate Throat Lv.1.]

[Combat Focus Lv.21 awarded.]

“Status window.”

[Hojae Lee (Human)]

Power: 10

Agility: 13

Health: 11

Magic Power: 21

Skill: Combat Focus Lv.21 Will Lv.4 Awakening Lv.7 Intermediate Weapon Lv.4 Intermediate Throttling Lv.1 Magic Circuit Lv.16 Pain Resistance Lv.2

Quick addition to the short status window.

Unlike weapons and combat intensive skills, Pain Resistance skills only started at level 3.

It is the difference between skills that are being studied technically and skills that are related to the performance or familiarity of the body.

The only Merritt I have is skills that I can master and use without the help of the system.

Let's wrap it up.

Survival is a top priority.

In order to do that, we must proceed passively and defensively, while simultaneously passing through the gates, ensuring a minimum of jerky and drinking water.

But that's not my personal goal.

Correct clearance.

It requires more aggressive progress.

The stage on the 35th floor lasts a little more than 24 days.

Only 24 days.

How far can I grow in 24 days?

In the meantime, will I be able to achieve enough growth to defeat the enemies I will face again?

No Powers, Level Ups, Clear Rewards, or Items to buy in the Shop window.

But I have experience and information.

I organized my thoughts calmly.

That's funny.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

I exhaled slowly.

The air in the hallway was cold.

The cold breath soon became a hot breath.

[The penitent god watches over you.]

Let's have a look.

Who gets what they want in the end.
