< Brave and Honor - EP.1 Ominous Omen (3) >
Episode 132
‘Ah, this expression….’
Seungyeon was intuitively aware of Dohyun’s smile.
It’s been a long time since he’s been on fire.
I got to know her better because she was my older sister who I had been with for over 20 years.
Usually, after making that kind of expression, Do-hyeon was focused on one thing almost like a madman.
whatever it is
But she soon shrugged.
‘There’s nothing bad about it.’
It’s not that Dohyun is burning with strange things, and there’s no reason to stop him because he says he’s going to burn in a game played on TV.
Of course, it would be a different story if we only played games while harming our health, but it was good to say that there is no such thing as Dohyun’s personality.
“Healing. Okay, that’s it.”
Soon after, Kuka’s treatment was over.
The stamina that had run out was also fully filled, and the status ailments disappeared over time.
“Ahhh. Anyway, this is the end of this? Then let’s go back to the guild quickly.”
The party members nodded at Dohyun’s words, which got up from their seats.
They exited the dungeon and returned to Kuren in a carriage.
And the Adventurers Guild is back.
Eileen at the reception desk heard about an unidentified person from Do-hyeon and made a more serious expression than ever before.
“I don’t know who it is, but it seems clear that he is intervening in the series of monster savagery that is taking place. But how the hell is that possible…”
“Have I obtained the power to artificially create stronger monsters? I don’t think this is a problem within the scope of what I can do.”
“Kratos, if it’s okay with you, would you like to meet our guild leader?”
│A guild leader?
“Yes. Kratos-san, who has seen him in person, will be able to tell the guild leader more detailed stories.”
│I know. Let’s meet
“It’s a good choice. The guild boss is there by going up the stairs you see over there and going to the guild master’s room in the middle of the 3rd floor.”
“Ah, the reward for this quest is here. I always admire the courage you have shown. Be strong.”
-Are you level 9 already?
– The initial level up is pretty fast.
– What level is this?
-70 or so
After the conversation with Eileen, Dohyun moved as the arrow in front of her pointed.
He first noticed, but these navigation arrows were being treated as almost essential elements in virtual reality RPGs.
Gamers wouldn’t like it if they had to check their names over their heads to find a single NPC.
Of course, the story is different for quests that require finding hidden NPCs or finding a way, but anyway.
‘Is it here?’
As a result of moving along the arrow, Dohyun succeeded in arriving at the guild chief’s office with difficulty.
When he opened the door and went inside, the guild leader who covered his left eye with an eye patch greeted him with a big smile.
The guild leader was a lion beast with hair that fluttered like a lion and muscles that seemed to burst, and ‘NPC Karos’ was written above his head.
The guild leader, Carlos said.
“Yes, I heard from Eileen. You were the first to report to the guild about the savagery of monsters? It’s really good. You’re a model for adventurers.”
“Besides, did you find any clues this time? Can you tell me what you saw?”
│ (Explain an unknown person)
Dohyun chose the only option.
Then, Carlos’s face darkened.
I didn’t feel it when I was smiling coolly, but Dohyun thought to himself that it felt quite intimidating seeing it like this.
Should I say that I feel the dignity of a guild leader?
“Was the pattern drawn on the mask this kind of behavior?”
And what Carlos took out of the desk drawer was an old piece of paper.
The pattern on the mask of an unidentified person was drawn on the tattered paper, as if it would tear at any moment.
A strangely distorted sun-like pattern drawn in black on a red background.
│This pattern is correct
“Yeah…. The followers of the Rift have suddenly reappeared. The scum that corrode the world. They must have lost their minds after being subjugated once.”
Carlos groaned, revealing his teeth.
He touched his left eye, which was covered with eyepatch, and he felt a bit of resentment in his burning eyes.
He chuckled as he returned to being a ferocious man just like when Dohyun first entered the guild master’s room.
“Good information. Thanks to you, we are able to respond quickly to a bigger threat. This is probably something they didn’t expect. Thank you again.”
“I’ll take a separate case for this. But you don’t have to worry about it anymore. It’s too dangerous for you, who haven’t had a long career as an adventurer yet, to intervene.”
“If you go to Eileen, I’ll give you another quest. In your future adventures, I wish you the glory worthy of your courage.”
Level up again!
This was possible because the amount of experience gained during the conversation with Eileen was almost at the end of the level 9 experience bar .
Anyway, that was the end of the conversation with the guild leader Carlos, and Dohyun went down to the first floor and checked the changes that occurred when he reached level 10 before going to Eileen.
The stats just increased as the level went up, but there was one new skill and one continuous effect.
・ Skill 《Shadow Movement》
· Lv. 10 《The Hidden Blade》
– Oh, it’s new technology.
-Are there skills every 10 levels?
– Please check the information!
“The Shadow Shift and the Hidden Blade. Information? Wait a minute.”
Name: shadow shift
Description: Approaches behind the target through shadows. Increases movement speed by 50% for 3 seconds after approaching
Consumption: none
Cooldown time: 20 seconds
Name: Hidden Blade
Description: Each time you deal damage to the target, there is a 10% chance to inflict an additional attack.
《Shadow Movement》 was a technique that could be used for movement and escape, and 《Hidden Blade》 was a continuous effect that caused an additional hit with a low probability.
It was not a bad technique and a continuous effect.
It was possible to approach and escape from the enemy in an instant, and in the case of 《Hidden Blade》, it was like adding wings to Dohyeon’s crazy explosion.
What caught Do-hyeon’s attention was the sentence written in the description of 《Hidden Blade》.
The sentence ‘additional attack with a 10% chance’ somehow caught his eye.
‘Still, the probability is 10%, so if you hit a teenager, it will trigger once, right?’
Probabilistically, that’s right.
Since 10 out of 100 triggers, isn’t it 10%?
However, Do-hyeon drooled at the unfamiliar anxiety that was approaching.
For him, who had never had any luck in virtual reality games, the word probability was nothing short of a formidable enemy.
It is also a formless enemy that he cannot overcome.
-10 percent? Whoops…
-What is the probability of big?
-It’s like no effect.
– In an instant, you’re out of luck hahahaha
Perhaps such sentiment was the same for viewers, the chat room was mixed with worries and giggles.
Dohyun shrugged and headed towards Eileen at the reception desk.
“You’re back, Kratos. Have you met the guild leader?”
│ (tells the conversation with the guild leader)
“That’s right…….. Just in case, I hope you don’t feel too sad about the guild chief’s judgment. If it’s really about them, it’s very dangerous.”
“The fact that the guild leader lost his left eye also happened while fighting them. There are many cases where warriors as high as the guild leader are at risk, so he must have judged that it was still difficult for Kratos-san.”
│I understand
Dohyun licked his lips.
“Actually, I don’t really understand, but this is the only option I have.”
– Feeling ignored
-NPC topic!
-mind! I don’t know the sword!
-NPCs are soo bad
Do-hyeon, who grumbled lightly, finally chose the option of “I understand”.
Eileen continued to speak.
“Even if it’s not, there are many other quests waiting for Mr. Kratos. Let’s see. Among the quests we have right now, there is a request to defeat the monsters that appear in the Halarak Mine.”
“They say the mining operation has been stopped because of the kobolds. They probably broke through the wall they blocked. Can you help clear them up?”
│I will do it
│Are there any other requests?
“Is it possible to accept other quests? Everyone, wait a minute. Let’s talk with other party members.”
After talking to the viewers, Dohyun immediately started a party chat.
-??? Is Kuka your sister?
-Kuka is surprisingly old
– You must be the oldest here right now?
– He looks the cutest hahahaha
Dohyun quickly explained about the quest Eileen gave him.
The option given to him now was to clear the ‘Halarak Mine’ dungeon, because he was worried that another option would appear when he saw that other quests were possible.
And his prediction was right.
As we talked, instead of clearing the ‘Halarak Mine’ dungeon, a quest came up for Kyuka to dig up ten “Black Stone Powder Flower” dungeons from the ‘Black Rock Cave’ dungeon.
After the party chat, Dohyun chose the option of “I will do that.”
“Yes, I understand. You can check the related quest information through your powers. Stay strong. We are always cheering you on.”
Dohyeon, who completed the order from Eileen, waited for the party members for a while.
Not long after, the party members who were also commissioned to clear the ‘Halarak Mine’ dungeon appeared one after another.
They got on a wagon going from the castle gate to the ‘Halarak Mine’ dungeon and talked for a while.
“It’s like a level up time for a little while. Won’t the story continue again when you reach level 15?”
Seungyeon, holding the cue car in her arms, said.
With the experience of playing a lot of RPGs while broadcasting games for a long time, she guessed that the current quests were level-up time.
“Then, can I just level up while requesting for the time being?”
“I think so. Maybe two or three rounds of dungeons. Of course, it’s a guess.”
“It’s roughly correct because my older sister with RPG experience said it. Then, let’s level up as soon as possible. I still wanted to do that.”
Do-hyeon said with burning eyes.
The reason he lost his hands and feet to an unidentified person was because he had left a considerable scar on his self-esteem.
He denies it himself, but because he has a very competitive personality.
-I think Kratos is on fire right now?
-Luda all night tension hahaha
-Ah haha I’m going to order chicken hahaha
“Okay. Let’s go!”
After that, Dohyun and the party members worked on various quests Eileen gave them.
Things like clearing the dungeon, collecting herbs from the dungeon, or asking for by-products to be saved by catching monsters in the dungeon.
Although, like before level 10, during the dungeon progress, there was no case of doing 1 up, catching a boss monster, 1 up again, and finally doing a quest, doing 1 up and 3 up with a single quest.
But nonetheless, their level-up speed was very fast.
In the first place, as long as there is a mad dealer named Dohyun, the dungeon attack speed is bound to be faster than you can imagine, and that is directly related to the level up speed.
There was only one thing I didn’t like about Dohyun…
“No, I go around the dungeon once, does it make sense to activate 《Hidden Blade》 once?”
-Rehhh
– Only one blade here!
-The sword hides the blade
-I hid it so much that I can’t even find it myself hahahaha
– It’s funny, really hahaha
“Wow, it was true that hyung’s hard counter was luck.”
“It’s my brother, but I don’t understand.”
“I don’t understand your luck any more.”
“Kuka unnie is talking too much….”
The «Hidden Blade» that I felt anxious as soon as I saw it.
It was a dissatisfaction with the lasting effect, which had completely disappeared even though it clearly existed.
But whatever it was.
After running like crazy, they were able to achieve level 15 that Seungyeon was talking about in no time.
It was then that the event occurred.
