Episode 50-Wind of Change (10)
‘What should we do?’
It froze in a state as if time had stopped. The master program is suggesting that I name them. That way, we will be able to strengthen our ties with them and give them strength.
I understand what you mean, as they are naturally aware of my overuse of mouse controls these days, not to mention various games, but even so, I couldn’t help but think that my head wouldn’t turn right away.
Because there’s still more I don’t know about them than I do.
They tell me to give it a name, but isn’t this like choosing a name for a pet rock? It’s not like I can just decide what I want.
[Recommendable]
The document program, activated by the master program, seemed to have sensed my blank mind, unable to write anything down, and wrote it on its own, recommending a few words to me.
As expected, multiple choice seems to suit me better than descriptive. Being given a choice made me feel a little more at ease.
‘This might be better.’
I chose one word and named them with it. Residents of another world with whom I have a connection. They and I help each other in our own ways.
[I will name the guardians Arryn]
I typed it myself and the process was over. A word meaning hope in their old language, which is now almost extinct.
It didn’t seem like a bad name since they, who had been driven to the outskirts by the competition, and I, who had suddenly become entangled with strange monsters, became each other’s hope.
[With the opening of additional functions, you can enter several commands using the program]
Moreover, the functions of the now activated document program did not simply end there. It was mentioned that commands can be used by adding features by spending a considerable amount of money.
Light of healing, light of valor, light of blessing, etc. Commands are literally a type of buff function that helps them.
If I use this, I have a way to help residents with bugs that don’t allow desktop destruction.
“In the end, it’s another point.”
For that to happen, I had to work tirelessly.
It has been confirmed that there are countless ways to earn points, but in the end, the only result is for residents to keep moving. And all the points they earn are used to train them, and as they become stronger, they earn more points.
-Can I contact you?
However, I was about to end this day when I saw the text I had typed appear in the sky on the desktop and the shocked residents who saw it all fell to the ground and were shaking.
Another user I met today, Soyeon Lee, tried to contact me first.
“How far have you tried? “Did you get the loot?”
At this point, I decided to find out about her guardians, something I had never asked about before. All I knew was that her guardians were more like settled people who focused on farming the fields rather than nomads.
Maybe not, but maybe her guardians are people who live in the same world as my residents. If that were to happen, I wondered if we would have to form an alliance somehow.
However, I did not know detailed information yet. Even she didn’t know much about her people yet.
-I played the game you mentioned all day and solved the urgent problem first. Food, fuel and iron tools were also supplied. But I haven’t received any loot yet. Although they bowed down to my character in the game.
“You can’t be sure, but try consistently appealing to them. From their perspective, we are mysterious beings that defy common sense. Of course you won’t do something, right?”
It seems that she is still in the stage of getting closer to her residents. It would have taken me some time to build this relationship with the residents if Varun, the leader, had not stepped forward.
-The second game you asked me to install is Dark Blood. Are other games not working? Games of this genre are notorious for being extremely difficult, but I really hate games like that.
“that…”
However, when preparing for the second game, she didn’t seem to want to play the hardcore action RPG I recommended. There was nothing I couldn’t understand. There were several times when my character would have died if I had messed up just a little bit.
“Then try this. Install as many games as possible and get recommendations from the master program.”
In the end, the choice I made was to install everything first, in case there were other options.
In the first place, I was also recommended a game called Dark Blood by the master program. Maybe she, who is in a completely different situation than me, might be recommended a different game.
-I’m downloading everything now.
She actually acted like that. I felt it even when we first met, but this person has a lot of drive.

Their relationship is not one-sided. It is a complementary relationship where each exists for the other.
“Look at that. “That is what he means to us.”
His own will, a decision he made after much consideration, and a kind of fruition that we have created together so far. It is shining in the sky. Varun looked at it in admiration and took out the divine sword he had given him earlier and lifted it up.
For Varun, his will was like a cheat. It boosts the spirit of a tribe that was on the wane, and strengthens the authority of the moderate tribal chief to an absurd degree, allowing him to unite various tribes that had lived differently.
“What kind of picture is that, Chief?”
“He rewarded us, the chosen clan.”
Varun nodded to Kun, a tribe member who asked a blank question, and interpreted the meaning of the mysterious letters floating in the air.
“We were chosen. These are the people who will deal with the evil black monsters that we just faced. “That is the meaning of all his blessings.”
To him looking at the residents outside the monitor, the residents were superhuman and courageous warriors, but to the residents outside the monitor, he was an almighty absolute being.
Varun claimed that they were his chosen ones. The purpose was to take advantage of the fact that the power of mental aspects, including pride and sense of belonging, is also very important.
There is a big difference between simply fighting to survive and fighting with a God-given mission.
Now that they had been given a name in the ridiculous way of writing letters of light in the sky, no one could deny Varun’s claim that they were the chosen clan.
“No one will interfere with our duty. “Don’t you all agree?”
“Of course, Chief.”
The unity, which was already high, increased further with this opportunity. It was a moment when everyone, regardless of gender or age, came together as one and established a new identity as a clan chosen to fight against evil monsters, from being outcasts who had been pushed out of the power game and fled to the outskirts.
“Chief! The last scouts who went further have returned!”
“You said you discovered something?”
And just as I was about to make up my mind, new news arrived early in the morning.
“We’re back!”
“Okay, I understand, so I’ll tell you after I come down.”
Varun, who came out of the house after overcoming the sleep that was not yet gone, sighed when he saw the scouts hanging in the sky and shouting.
They must have brought some news, and they couldn’t shake off their excitement until the moment they got down to the floor.
“What on earth did you see?”

“As we already knew, it appears that quite a few small tribes are continuing to migrate. What we found was a small village that seemed to have just arrived.”
A representative of the scouts heading northwest finally reported spotting another small tribe. Unlike others whom I could not meet, I still came to see results.
“The north must be more barren than here, so I can’t believe I went there.”
Varun clicked his tongue as he remembered that if you go further north, it would be a cold and barren place where people would find it difficult to live. But at the same time, his eyes sparkled.
Those who have settled in places where it is difficult to live may be able to tell them to join with a little persuasion. In fact, there was a high probability that they would accept the offer.
“Well, actually, I had a few words with the people there.”
“Well, what did you say?”
“He said he might leave there again soon. “They said they saw unidentified monsters in the northern forest and that the monsters threatened them.”
“Monsters? Nonsense. “Are there people living in worse conditions in the north than this?”
Varun’s eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe the news the scout brought him. This is because they thought that those living in the northernmost part of this continent were grassland tribes, including themselves.
“Anyway, I understand. Sorry, but I’ll have to go there again after my break. “I need to persuade them and bring them here.”
“I’ll do it.”
Of course, it wasn’t something to worry about right now. Because now it is more important to absorb other tribes that have nowhere else to go. Since they said they were planning to leave while starving, I expected that persuading them would go well.
‘I don’t know how much time I have left.’
Varun, who finished meeting with the returning scouts, had a serious look on his face.
Bugs that continue to appear and even grow will eventually clash with invaders coming from the west. Varun, who revealed that he was chosen by heaven, had no intention of giving in to them, so it was predestined.
Until then, the top priority was to absorb as many small tribes as possible to increase size.
“hmm?”
“Chief!”
Then his body suddenly rose into the sky. It was a familiar feeling, but the timing was unexpected. Usually, nothing much happened in the morning. Even Riena and Shura were together.
“First world!”
Soon the trio landed in a new space. Those who had already entered through the gate in the center of the village looked at them in surprise as they were about to go out to work with pickaxes or axes.
“Why did he suddenly send the three of us here?”
“I think I know what you mean. An item that Shura obtained from you when you awakened Mana. “It means asking for it.”
Varun, who knew that the roles of combatants and resource collectors were clearly divided, quickly realized the intention of sending them, who could be called combatants, here.
This meant that they had to hunt monsters and farm their essence, just as miners and farmers harvest minerals and crops.
Monster essence is a miraculous item that creates an opportunity for awakening for residents who do not have mana.
In other words, it was a very valuable resource, the more the better.
