Episode 3
After all, what forms the basis of this world must be the game I played.
《Quest clear points will be settled.》
“One. Arrived on time at the entrance ceremony -1pt》
“2. Conversation with 1 or more new students –1pt》
《3. Check more than 5 people -1pt》
“4. Attend the entrance ceremony until the end -2pt》
《You have acquired a total of 5 skill points.》
The scenario started.
Even if I stay still, this world will change moment by moment as the scenario of the game unfolds.
So I couldn’t stay still.
“First of all, it would be better to aim for the strongest in the academy.”
Just like in the game, Xian presumptuously wanted to reign at the top of the academy.
However, unlike fate, where you have no choice but to fall by acquiring wrong means, I will raise my skills and stand proudly at the top.
Isn’t competition a factor that motivates those who enjoy games?
Come on, you must be strong!
‘First of all, I’ll have to build up some basic skills.’
There is time leeway.
There are still three days to spare before the full-scale class begins.
From noble mtl dot com
3 days.
The time given for basic adaptation to life here and for various preparations.
‘It’s not like there’s nothing to do… … .’
Usually, during the grace period before classes start, new students prepare for their future stay here.
It’s called preparation, but it’s not particularly grandiose.
‘I need to secure a house…’ … .’
House.
Unfortunately, the academy was not a dormitory system.
You should secure your home as much as possible.
Fortunately, it seems that you can eat lunch and dinner only on the days when you have classes.
‘What kind of a noble family is this!’
Where is the prestigious school that puts students to sleep on the street?!
It’s dirty, wow! Wow!
I thought this would be the same as the game.
There was a time when the dormitory system was reviewed as a justification for the setting, but it is said that it was abandoned due to low efficiency.
‘Because most of the guys who go there are nobles or people from wealthy families.’
The percentage of commoners attending the academy was not that high.
If the nobles were forced to live in a stuffy dormitory, there wouldn’t be many people who would follow them.
Even more so, those who have the qualifications to enter this place can secure a place to stay on their own.
Right now, there were quite a few inns in the city that were doing business with students.
‘Probably a contradiction caused by recreating the environment in the game… … .’
At the time of gameplay, the save point for recovering the main character’s health and mana is always a dwelling place.
Of course, it’s good to have an inn that cures you if you provide a few coins. Or if you don’t have that, you can just pitch a tent over a campfire.
‘But nobody cares!’
It must be a contradiction that occurs because it is a game.
It’s like this kind of mess.
If this happens, I’m curious to see if I can pitch a tent in the academy garden, but I’m curious to test it out.
If possible, a bed is better than the floor, and if possible, I want to eat three full meals at three o’clock.
If you suffer when you are young, when you are old, your feet will hurt.
Men in Korea realize this desperately in their early 20s.
“By the way, is the house you live in really good?”
If you don’t, you have no choice but to go homeless for a few days.
I wondered, I asked the management of the academy.
Surprisingly, the problem was easily resolved.
I asked without expecting it, but it was an unexpected offer.
“You must have been aspiring to black magic, right?”
“Actually, there is a place used by former graduates. Would you like to visit it?”
Warlocks did not have many applicants.
Not to mention, there are only a handful of talented people with enough talent to attend the academy.
It is said that even if the empire wanted to select talented people, there were many cases where those who were selected refused and ran away.
At most, it seems like there were only a few seniors 10 years ago.
It seemed that there was a workshop where they stayed.
‘Rather than preferential treatment, it’s quarantine… … .’
Black magicians are shunned by people.
Even for meditation, there are times when you need to put medicine or something rather terrible.
If you stay at an inn or somewhere close to the city, there will be a lot of uproar.
So, a special exception was made to provide a place for black magicians to use.
‘I guess I should say there’s a good place to throw this troublemaker.’
There is a forest owned by the academy.
An area called the Forest of Learning.
It is not a forest outside the islands, but a forest created by securing an artificial space through magical means.
‘He did a crazy thing by creating a subspace and planting a forest there.’
The purpose is to gather materials for practice and a place for classes.
It is said that there is a workshop for the Warlock class in that forest.
‘Is it a reasonable excuse for monitoring?’
A forest planted in an artificially created space.
If you think you’re going to do something unsettling or open your eyes to evil, Kwajik the whole forest! because you can handle it.
Well, it’s not something I’m concerned about.
wrongdoing? I don’t! That Xian promised to live only by the imperial law, right?
“Still, it’s a hundred times better than living in a tent!”
With or without a roof, the difference between heaven and earth!
As soon as I heard the story, I immediately accepted it.
I took the key, pushing hard that I would curse my whole life if I didn’t give it to him.
He headed straight to the studio.
and… … .
“sh*t! I’m already starting to understand why ‘cyan’ is distorted!”
I cursed.
I roughly guessed.
I said it was a studio used by a senior who graduated 10 years ago.
So what happened there in 10 years?
There was no way anyone could have taken care of it.
“Fortunately, the roof and windows are in place… … .”
There was no significant damage to the outer wall, probably because it was reinforced with magic.
But when I went inside, I couldn’t bear to keep my head down.
It makes you want to seriously consider tent life for a moment.
“Let’s say it’s better than nothing.”
First of all, I only organized the places I would use right now.
It wasn’t until the sun went down that I was able to start thinking about the practice.
“Then, what shall we learn first?”
chuck! I started to think about it while holding the form alone.
My enthusiasm is overflowing, so the demon inside me is wriggling.
“Kuh, it’s a little sore.”
Shall we increase our magic to the extreme?
Or is it better to devise a safe build with balance in mind?
Or should we catch a maniac entertainment concept?
Anything can be done.
The future is bright!
‘Should I consider it in the direction of not relying on the dating factor?’
The most powerful power-up in the world is love.
love and romance.
‘Wow.’
I get goosebumps even when I say it myself, but this is the world! If you want to argue, send a protest mail to the manufacturer!
‘But isn’t that something I can’t use?’
I may not be able to use events or items that come with dating conditions.
That’s right, I’m not the main character.
What more is there a girl who wants to date a promising black magician?
‘Isn’t it?’
Okay. I’ve already played solo.
There’s no need for love!
If you have power, money and power, life can be anything!
‘And I have a corner to believe in.’
The secret to my standing at the top of this world.
Of course, there are places to believe.
“draft”
《Class: Warlock》
《Class Level: 1》
《Stamina: 24》《Magic Power: 41》》Agility: 17》《Luck: 11》
《Physical Defense: 5》《Magical Defense: 9》《Mental Resistance: 3》
《Remaining Skill Points: 5pt》
“… … also.”
A smile hangs on your lips.
Notification when the entrance ceremony is over.
It’s like a privilege given to playables.
In short, it means that convenience can be used for character development.
Browsing status and.
development of skills.
Etc… … .
“Isn’t there a big difference from the game?”
Except for some parts, it wasn’t much different from the UI of the game I played.
This is good.
You’ll have to go through a lot of hard work to train and gain strength with your bare body.
“You can use the experience of playing the game!”
I looked back at my memories of playing the game and looked at my current abilities.
First of all, I have to figure out myself.
“Oh! Isn’t that bad?”
It’s easy to misunderstand because he’s a villain who gets beaten by the main character every time, but Xian is never a sh*thead.
At least it has a slightly higher base value than the playable character.
It has quite a bit of potential.
Well, it wouldn’t be strange.
‘Because it’s no fun if the villain is weaker than the main character.’
Originally, Xi’an is a role that confronts and interferes with the main character, and sometimes has to compete directly.
If that character is weak from the start, the game won’t be fun.
“But not to the extent of overpowering it.”
Xian’s strength was moderately leveled up, but it was possible to defeat it after a little rotation.
Usually, it’s worth fighting after going around the main hunting grounds in that scenario for two laps.
What if it goes around three times? Best of luck.
to whom? to me!
“The next skill?”
Let’s leave the shop thing aside for now.
It probably won’t help much now.
What matters is skill.
《SKILL》
《Common Magic – Fire Bolt (Lv.1) Wind Shot (Lv.1) Freeze (Lv.1)》
《Black Magic – Mind Bomb (Lv.1) Acid Arrow (Lv.1) Poison (Lv.1) Bone Edge (Lv.1)》
《Passive Skills – Toxic Resistance (Lv. 3) Dagger Skill (Lv.2) Housework (Lv.1) Disease Resistance (Lv.1)》
《Active Skill – Ogi (Lv.1)》
“The composition of the skill is as I roughly guessed… … .”
It is prepared based on the specifications of Xian at the time of the game.
The reason why most of my active skills are missing is probably because my current level is low.
“Acquisition of the skills needed for basic training comes first.”
If nurturing was possible like a game, acquiring skills would be possible in the same way.
Acquisition and development of skills are made possible by investing points.
Existing acquired skills increase their effectiveness by investing points and leveling up.
You can also use points to acquire skills you haven’t learned yet.
“Fortunately, there is no limit on the classes each character can learn.”
Even the main character can acquire black magic if he wants to.
Also, the character who becomes a colleague of the main character can be nurtured by teaching various things.
“That means I can do it too!”
I can also acquire various skills.
As I recognized it naturally, the structure of the skills I hadn’t acquired unfolded like a spider’s web in my head.
“No problem.”
A plan for nurturing is immediately drawn in my head.
The prerequisite is to be able to play solo.
It should be a structure that achieves growth that can efficiently respond to events and classes taking place at the academy.
“The first thing we need is… … Is it alchemy!”
《Alchemy – Acquire basic pension.》
The basic skill of each class only consumes 1 point when acquired.
It is a structure that gradually increases as you go up.
《Blacksmith – Acquire beginner skills.》
《Magic Engineering – Acquire basic engineering knowledge.》
Let’s acquire the basic skills of each required class in the same way.
Did you spend 3pt with this?
After that.
《Passive Skill – Acquire Eating and Digestion.》
After acquiring this skill, you can gain some effects from the food or medicine your character consumes.
For example, when herbs are added to food, a recovery effect is obtained, and depending on the material, some stats increase.
Basically, I have a characteristic that allows me to be immune to poison or disease, so it’s a skill that I can actively use.
“And the last thing I need to get is this!”
《Common Magic – Acquire Summoning Magic.》
For now, I’m done with this.
Having finished learning, I let out a sigh of satisfaction.
A strange sense of fullness rises.
The feeling of being born with a talent that I didn’t have.
“Because we play games with this taste.”
What skill should I take? I think about it, raise it, imagine it while lowering it, and sometimes smile bitterly when I see the result.
That is the true value of upbringing.
Anyway, with this, the basic tree required for solo play is roughly taken.
Let’s use it right away.
“First, let’s start with the summons.”
Summoning magic that falls into the common magic category.
However, this magic has some peculiarities.
The effect that occurs when a character with the skill has acquired the black magic class.
Originally, the only thing to do was to summon a monster that matches the skill level, but in that case, the categories that can be summoned separately increase.
as soon as.
‘Summoning categories classified as demons are opened separately.’
Now, the first thing I want to summon is… … .
“As expected, the basis for summoning is slime!”
Slime is good!
It can work well even at low levels, and with the exception of some slime-type monsters, there is no betrayal of the summoner.
Black magic class holders can summon slimes with lower demon attributes, also known as demon slimes, so they are useful for early training.
“Even if you roll Demon Slime well, you can fight monsters within level 10 right away.”
It means that the foundation of early education is solid.
Basically, the most troublesome part in an RPG is training in the early stages.
Weapons are basic equipment. Not even a dagger, only bare hands. But you have to fight monsters.
But I don’t have the money to buy the daggers sold in stores right now.
Usually, it is at this time that they suffer the most and get beat up.
This upbringing method takes away that effort.
“Let’s begin.”
I cast the summoning magic right away.
Even without learning how to use skills, he knows instinctively.
Leave it to the power the soul has acquired.
Reach out and invest the necessary mana to activate the skill.
An appropriately sized magic circle is drawn in front of me, and the effect begins to take place.
Summons are designated as demon slimes.
“Come out.”
Light is generated from the magic circle, and gradually the light hardens into a certain form as if creating a shape.
I was watching with excitement.
“… … uh?”
I tilted my head because I felt something out of place.
Something is different.
