Episode 61-Phase (1)
‘Wow, this is crazy.’
With the help of the program, it was possible to create a classification table and classify residents by characteristics and status to check them at a glance, but it was not an all-purpose solution.
From Noble mtl dot com
It was a time when Shura and Larsen, warriors who had accumulated enough experience by our standards, became accustomed to hunting in the underworld dungeons to farm the essence of monsters.
After getting out of the game for a while, I had to do other things without a break. You had to find the right people among the crowd of people, place them where they were needed, and, if necessary, play the game yourself to help them.
Those with characteristics related to resource gathering, such as porters, miners, farmers, and woodcutter, were placed in Sandbox Crafting, and warriors who surrendered and became allies were placed in Dark Blood, where they changed jobs and learned skills.
‘It’s not enough.’
But this is not enough. Thanks to the new arrivals, people were crowded and there were not enough ‘jobs’ to employ them.
As the number of people increased, more resources were needed, so sandbox crafting, which was level 3, was raised to level 4 and a whopping 48 people were placed there.
“We need a new game.”
I muttered absentmindedly and tried to touch the various game icons on the desktop. While various programs provide functions that help me, games help me help my residents.
The moment they could replace the activities in which they spent most of their time, such as farming, hunting, and herding, they needed other work.
‘what?’
Meanwhile, there was one resident who had a status abnormality displayed on the table I had organized. To be precise, it was not a condition, but rather a worry.
The name is Raoul. It’s a name I don’t remember, but when I click on his name on the table, I see someone among the people bustling around in the enlarged screen with a yellow border shining.
“—?”
“–, —.”
Raoul, a middle-aged man with a sturdy physique, was having a serious conversation with others in front of a pile of items.
Those items were familiar to me.
A piece of black carapace, a black stinger, or a dark red mineral that is presumed to be the heart. These were all byproducts left over from hunting bugs. When a bug dies, most of its body turns to dust and disappears, but there are some parts left behind like this.
[Tribal member Raoul’s troubles: Tribal leader Varun instructed him to keep it safe just in case and learn how to use it, but Raoul, a skilled hunter and leather craftsman, is also troubled by the lack of a way to use the by-product of the bug, which contains strong magical power. ]
“hmm.”
When residents have deep concerns, I have the authority to read them. After realizing why Raoul had a serious expression, I crossed my arms and thought about it.
How can I solve that problem? First of all, it was impossible to convert it with a file converter or something like that.
[Hunting action game program recommendation]
At that time, the master program was in operation for the first time in a very long time. Even though I knew the convenience of spreadsheet programs, I was the one who kept my mouth shut and didn’t recommend them.
‘Creature hunting.’
The game recommended by the master program is a third-person action game similar to Dark Blood. But the details were very different.
Unlike Dark Blood, where the main goal was to raise your level and strengthen your skills by repeating quests to hunt miscellaneous mobs and kill bosses along the story line, the game recommended this time involves fighting huge monsters as if it were a boss battle and using the by-products to acquire equipment. It was a game that grew by upgrading.
Games are ultimately just a means. If you think about it based on that fact, you may be able to learn not only how to deal with the by-products of bugs, but also techniques that are advantageous in fighting against bugs that are close to giant monsters.
‘let’s do it.’
Activation cost 3000P. The price is perfect, excluding emergency funds.
I finally made a decision and activated the game. Actually, there were different games that I was interested in, but if you unlock them one by one in this way, they will all be unlocked.
[Number of people available for deployment: 0/2]
“Wow, that’s really salty.”
The number of people deployed in the first stage was only two. To the point where I click my tongue without realizing it.
However, unlike Dark Blood, there is no chapter limit, so you will be able to add more people by collecting a few points to unlock the next level.
It’s not a good idea to put all your power into it anyway. Because there must be people to protect the village in case of emergency.
‘Who should I take?’
The most important thing is to choose an advance team that will first clear the way into an unfamiliar world. Because the advance team must steadily learn the rules and features of the new game, unfortunately, we have no choice but to use proven resources for now.
“—?”
I lifted up Liena, who was watching them in the middle of a village crowded with new residents. I feel sorry for her, but there is no one I can trust and entrust like her.
Varun is busy as the tribal leader, and people like Rakum are doing other duties elsewhere.
‘How long is this game?’
After bringing Riena, I also played the game. I played the previous series during my school days, and this was my first time playing this latest series properly.
***
“Tsk.”
Suddenly, I was lifted up into the sky and dropped into a new world. Riena had already been through something tiresome.
Already equipped with armor, she naturally brushed herself off and stood up.
‘Where am I?’
This place was different from the city where she was in Dark Blood Chapter 2. It wasn’t a world made up of angled blocks.
But as expected, she was not embarrassed. I’m already used to this situation. Now, she just believed that since the person she trusted and followed more than anything else had led her here, it must have important meaning.
“You came as expected..?!”
Soon, someone came to her side, making a rustling sound, as she stood still. Riena was surprised to see him.
This is because a completely different being approached than the sturdy knight with his face covered in a mask that I had encountered in the Dark Blood universe.
“By any chance, is it him?”
Riena tried to suppress her embarrassment and bent down to look at him.
Then this small raccoon approached her, nodded, pulled out the knife it was wearing, and waved it in the air.
‘This is crazy, why is it a mascot instead of a playable character?’
Riena had no idea what the raccoon, waving its short arms in front of her, was currently operating the mouse.
‘But I still have to do what I have to do.’
Biting his lip, he took control of his raccoon character and started walking ahead. Riena followed behind without saying a word. It was a strong trust based on the journey we had been on together so far.
“…”
However, her eyes were fixed as if mesmerized by the fluffy tail extending from her twitching buttocks. The corners of his mouth were rising faintly, to the point where he couldn’t even recognize it.
“This can’t be right?!”
But at that moment. The tremors slowly approaching began to shake the forest they were in with increasing intensity.
‘First of all, the beginning is the same.’
He was calm as he watched this situation through the monitor. Because we know that this situation is the progression of the game.
The problem is that now that this is not just a game but a reality, the set process may not go smoothly. They have already felt this in existing games.
“Monster, monster?!”
Liena, who hastily drew her sword, was astonished to see a huge beast that appeared, smashing down quite large trees and pushing away large rocks.
Although its reptile-like appearance was much less creepy, the fact that it was a monster with a huge body was similar to a bug, so Riena naturally thought of a bug.
However, it was different from Bug, who had a somewhat cold, machine-like side. The monsters in the game were just beasts.
‘If we are in crisis, a helper will appear to help us with the tutorial.’
He calmly stayed where he was when he saw the huge lizard with its eyes flashing and its teeth baring. Anyway, this matter will be resolved soon.
“Pfft, where dare you?”
Riena doesn’t know that. They swung their drawn sword with all their might at the enemy charging at them.
The skills she had learned in other games were unleashed, powered by the mana that exploded with her heartbeat.
A cross-shaped slash that cut through the air and hit the monster’s body. It was a powerful blow that could cut even a huge tree into pieces in one blow, but the lizard was only deeply wounded by the first blow in its life and did not immediately become incapable of fighting.
“You’re so big.”
But Riena instead smiled, bared her teeth, and adjusted her sword. It wasn’t the first time I had fought against such a large enemy. Above all, she was born a warrior.
Usually, when she fights, she suppresses it because she has to protect someone or has a mission to perform, but her fighting spirit toward a strong opponent and her desire to defeat that opponent and prove her growth were still boiling in her heart.
The world in the game was a good place to show off her fighting spirit.
“Dangerous!”
At that time, someone shot a large arrow and hit the lizard’s head as it tried to attack again. The arrow pierced through the blue scales, and the lizard, which had been shot at a vital spot, stumbled and fell to the ground. Surprised, Riena looked at her opponent, who was holding a sword in an awkward position and shooting an arrow.
‘appear.’
Likewise, he checked the other person’s face on the monitor screen and sipped the coffee he was holding when a familiar face appeared.
“what. How on earth did they hurt Blue Drake like this? “With a shallow sword that looks like nothing.”
‘As expected, the script has changed.’
The person who approached me holding a special bow larger than her upper body was a young woman with a sturdy body and bronze skin.
Realizing that her lines had changed from the original, he calmly began to pass on the conversation.
“Your outfit is also strange. “He looks like a knight, not a hunter.”
“What is a hunter?”
Her eyes were focused on Riena. Riena, who glanced at the raccoon next to her, took the initiative and led the conversation.
He didn’t bother to stop him. This is because, based on the flow of the conversation, it seemed like the originally scheduled event would occur.
“Are you kidding me? I also carry a friend like that by my side. But if you lived only inland, you might not know the details.”
She shrugged her shoulders as if it were absurd, but then laughed. Then he opened his mouth again and started explaining.
It was a mess from the start, but in the end, this is how the tutorial began.
