The Tutorial Is Too Hard

I walked out of the fountain and drained the clothes.

[Day 24, Day 2. 6: 25]

The attack was easier than I thought.

In just 25 minutes, we were able to reach the fountain of healing on the fourth floor stage.

Separate from the difficulty, the route was much faster than the long traps stages.

A huge stone gate opened in front of the boss room, and another world opened.

It was at the foot of the mountain.

Luckily, I knew the way.

If you keep going up the mountain, you'll see Goblin Forts.

As I walked along the road, I looked up at the stars in the night sky.

It is a place where the stars are very bright.

Just like then, I had to admire the scenery.

I walked slowly looking up at the night sky.

I didn't have to move so fast.

We'll have no time to get to the city where the Goblin King is anyway.

Killing a Goblin King in the middle of the city's Resistance in four hours is a difficult time.

Plus.

No messages will appear.

There is no message to kill the Goblin King or do anything.

They just drop me into this world and leave me like this.

This was expected when the 3rd floor boss room was not cleared after it was completed.

There are no individual missions per stage on this 35th floor.

So what am I supposed to do here?

for the remaining time.

I reached the gates of the fortress one day.

Looking closely, the wall is considerably elevated.

I used to go up lightly with my blinking skill, but now I can't go up.

You can jump with all your magic, but you will be accompanied by a loud noise.

Of course, the Goblin soldiers will find out.

We have to climb the wall.

I'm thinking about it, but I hear shouts above the walls.

“There! Human! ”

[Achemin Continent Common Terminology Lv.10 has been obtained.]

Huh? Huh?

“What brings you here at this hour? ”

Is she yelling at me?

You stare at the Goblin Soldier, trembling at the wall.

The soldier was looking right at me.

I didn't think you'd see it. It's quite a distance.

It was a mistake.

Goblins have bright eyes at night.

Unlike humans, this distance will be sufficiently visible.

And when I used to come here, I had a secret skill, unlike I do now.

So I was vaguely thinking about the past that was not discovered here and not thinking about hiding my body.

[Stealth Lv.17 has been obtained.]

Concerned about quickly concealing myself, I developed a late-breaking stealth skill.

But the Goblins on the wall have already found me.

I thought about it for a moment and replied to the Goblin on the wall.

“I'm lost! ”

I shouted with all my heart!

I wasn't lying.

It was a critical expression.

The Goblin soldier shakes his head several times and disappears from the wall.

I'm more concerned about the soldier than I am about the disappearance.

Speaking with a Goblin Soldier, you gained a skill called the Common Language of the Arcane Continent.

This means that I am already learning the common language of this archaic continent.

Probably because he had knowledge skills before Babel.

All this time, I've thought of knowledge skills before Babel as magical skills that translate languages in a world I don't know.

So even though I could hear, speak, and write a language that I didn't think I knew at all.

But now I understood as soon as I heard what the Goblins said.

And the system determined that I already knew that language, and added skills.

It is possible if knowledge skills prior to Babel were not just translation skills, but a skill that embedded the knowledge of the language in my head.

Once in your head, the language you remember can be remembered again.

Is it really like that?

I'll have to ask Kirikiri later.

A small side door on the corner of the large stone gate was opened.

A Goblin soldier said beyond the open door.

“Come in.”

I went inside the walls as the soldier had told me.

The fortress is quite quiet.

I felt a sense of otherness in the landscape that was inconsistent with my memory.

“Quiet.”

“Of course. What time is it? ”

And when I saw the Goblin speaking to me as if it were natural, I felt a sense of otherness.

“How did you get lost in the mountains at this time? ”

“I don't know.”

“Destination?”

The Goblin Soldier said as if he was asking a friend about everyday things rather than investigating them.

I knew you'd ask for an ID or a token, but the Goblin didn't ask for anything.

I couldn't feel any boundaries from the Goblins closing the door and guiding me into the fortress.

Destination.

What was the name of the Goblin City beyond the Keep?

I don't remember.

“City.”

“Of course. What's going on? Trade, right?”

“I need to find out. ”

The Goblin didn't ask me about what I was trying to find out.

Perhaps he thought he was a merchant dispatched to market research for trade.

The Goblin asked for something else instead.

“How long do I have to go? There's a wagon to the city tomorrow afternoon. I can give you a ride if you want. ”

Too friendly.

My stomach ached because of that kind heart.

It naturally occurred to me when I was moving on to the fourth floor.

That's when I burned down all your fortresses and massacred the Goblin soldiers.

So I infiltrated the city while reducing the number of soldiers.

[The penitent god watches over you.]

Well, this is what he wanted.

That's a nasty hobby.

“I'm sorry, but I'll just be grateful. I need you to show me the way to the city instead. ”

“Now?”

You nod.

“I'm in a hurry. ”

The Goblin became tired of my answers.

Then he muttered with a chuckle.

“Phew, the Human Merchant Guild's been wandering around the forest again and again. ”

[Obtained native Goblin language Lv.10 in Kipine region.]

I think the language the Goblin was talking to me before was a foreign language.

I heard the muttering alone and learned the Goblin's native language.

“Okay, but just go up there and wait for me. ”

The Goblin pointed at the tower.

Looking at the direction of the city.

“Nice view. The moonlight and starlight are bright days, so the city will be a blur. It's spectacular. I'm just watching. ”

Finally, the Goblin went somewhere.

Is he trying to bring me a map?

You don't have to.

I climbed over the watchtower and, as the Goblin said, the city shines on the moonlight from afar.

The goal you just set is shaking.

Kirikiri told me not to rush too far.

35-story stages are not stages that penetrate through combat.

I wonder if that's what he meant.

With the clear objective that had always been given gone, I was obscured of what to do in this world during this time.

First thing I can think of, though, is combat.

There are many enemies who will act hostile as soon as they meet up here.

And the strength of those enemies is too much for my weakened body.

It is reasonable to grow as fast as possible before meeting them.

The Goblins below the Watchtower will be the best opponents to level up.

Does that mean we should attack those who are favorable to me?

Not long ago, I asked myself the same question.

My answer was no.

The reason was simple.

I'm the strong one.

I'm qualified to take my time.

Is that still the case?

After a few hours and a few days, I will be transported to a dangerous, high-rise stage.

The time given to me is too limited.

As much as I'm being chased by time, there's no room to spare me.

But I'm still standing at the strongest position.

I don't know exactly what the God of Repentance wanted to say on this stage.

But he assured me of one thing.

My strength is no longer attributed to the tutorial.

Of course, the tutorial gave me tips and tricks to grow myself, but I completely absorbed it.

Even if I go back tomorrow, two years ago, to the time when I was watching TV in the corner, I can easily recover my hardship.

Of course, it will be difficult outside of the tutorial.

But in five or 10 years, there's nothing you can do.

The stage on the 35th floor assured me of that.

It was a constant anxiety.

No matter how famous I was, the gods gave me abilities and strength.

One day, when all this power suddenly disappeared, I thought I might be humiliated again.

But the anxiety was lifted.

The power I had was not a high stat or level of power or skills displayed in the status window.

Thanks to you, I was able to talk.

I am the strong one.

Wherever you are.

Even if my enemies are more powerful than I am, I will not change.

[The penitent god watches over you.]

“Thank you, too. ”

“You're welcome.”

The Goblin is back.

With one big backpack.

“You don't need a map, do you? Follow the path that leads down there. It usually takes about half a day to ride a horse. And it had some fruit, some bread, some drinks in it. Eat as you go.”

I asked the friendly Goblin.

“Why are you being so nice to me? ”

The Goblin was a little embarrassed by what I said.

“It's just, well, it's weird, and I've been lost in the mountains, and I'm sorry I had to leave immediately. ”

“Amazing?”

“It's been a long time since I've seen a human. Normally, human merchants go through those fort doors. ”

It seemed strange to see an unfamiliar foreigner.

Attitudes seemed familiar to me every day on the way to work, but I guess not.

You received a Goblin Backpack.

“Thank you.”

“You're welcome.”

I heard what I heard once again.

The Goblin opened the door to the city, and I walked out along the road.

As I walked for a long time, I felt the goblin's gaze fading behind my back.

I paused and warmed up for a moment.

I didn't intend to go to the city.

It was a long way from the fortress to the city, and I didn't have to think about the time I had left.

Besides, we don't need to kill the Goblin King anymore.

But I have a new reason to go to the city and see the Goblin King.

I have something I want to ask the Goblin King.

Ever since the 35th floor began, I haven't used my magic as a power source.

It was dangerous and not only mentally fatigued, but not efficiently good.

There were also magical forces that needed to be removed to enhance their magical power.

More than anything else.

Again, it was dangerous.

But now I have a reason to work hard.

Increases the Magic Power to its maximum potential.

Instead of focusing your magical power on your arms and legs or lower back muscles, you spread it all over your body and turn the circuit.

What you need now is not hardening, strengthening or protecting parts of your body with magical powers.

The awakening of the body.

Bam!

As you hit the ground, your body leaps forward like an arrow.

A chilly breeze of dawn pours down on my face, but I keep running away, enduring it.

Towards the Goblin City.

* * *

“Phew, phew. ”

As you exhale, you hear the dog howling.

I wanted to hide as quietly as possible, but it was a force majeure.

You double check that the Goblins who were stunned beneath your feet haven't woken up.

Fortunately, they were both quietly in the land of dreams.

Huh.

It was really hard.

You crossed the plains between the fortress and the city, climbed the walls and infiltrated the city.

I broke into the Resistance the same way.

And in front of the Goblin King's bedroom.

The place was the Goblin King's bedroom, so I was able to come right away without wandering around.

The Goblin soldiers standing guard didn't notice anything.

If you can capture 17 levels of stealth, it cannot appear on the fourth floor.

15 + levels of secrecy go beyond just moving quietly and quietly, hiding their prayers with magical powers and getting out of the way of others standing right in front of them.

[24th, 2nd day. 7: 15]

It only took me 50 minutes to cross the plains half a day's ride through the city's exodus and tolerance to get to the very bottom of the place.

I really dragged all the way to the bottom.

The red body was steaming with the aftermath of the violent exercise.

I thought about using my remaining magical power to calm down quickly, but I just decided to wait for dessert on my own.

I opened the visit quietly and entered the bedroom.

It was a little wet and hot in the room.

It even smelled a little.

It was a big room, so I couldn't find the Goblin King right away.

Instead of focusing on what was visible, I used my hearing.

When the Goblin King finds his breath, he will be able to easily locate it.

Magically enhanced hearing does not miss even the slightest sound.

You hear a breathing sound in your ears that makes you aware of all the noise in the room.

There was a problem.

Three breaths.

Including me three.

There were two Goblins vomiting violent breath on the bed.

Then I was able to solve a few questions.

Why are there so few guards around the king's bedroom?

Why is the room so hot and humid?

Why does it smell like this?

I could tell.

The Goblin King was working at night.

It reminds me of the young children of the Goblin King.

Even the Goblin King who appeared to be old.

White Beard is coming to my breast.He even fixes it.

I wrapped my hands around my face in unexpected and awkward situations.

After a long time, I couldn't even go, and I thought about it, and finally I coughed.

“Hmmm.”
