5. Fodina, the city of beginners
We decided to share Shinhwa-class skills with Hyemi noona. Because I needed someone to lead me in the game right away. When my sister heard the story of accidentally obtaining a mythical skill from us and that she had put it in my account, she looked at him like a madman, but it just ended there. This sister is pretty cool.
“Aren’t you surprised?”
“How much money did I put into Seion to match the equipment?”
“You’re not easy either.”
“Don’t worry and shut up. Read some.”
At the words of the older sister, the older brother’s mouth is closed.
It is Hye-mi’s older sister who slowly reads the captured copy of Skill Eater after covering her older brother’s mouth.
“Hmm… … .”
“not good?”
“Isn’t it great?”
“Why do you two keep pecking at me! I’ll think about it and tell you.”
After shouting, he read the captured copy again several times, and finally sighed as if the arrangement was finished.
“Whoa, that’s ambiguous.”
“A little sister?”
“Yeah, it looks good, but all the constraints are lethal. I’ve been doing this since I opened, so I know quite a bit about myth-level skills, but these conditions are really heinous. The hurdles are too high.”
Although the probability of drawing is comparable to the lottery, it has been half a year since it came out, and I know that a considerable amount of mythical skills have been released in the game so far because so many people enjoy it.
“Even if everything else is removed, it’s nonsense to have to kill the raid boss alone.”
“Is the raid boss that hard?”
“A raid boss is a raid boss for nothing. It says there is no difference of 10 levels or less here. It’s incredibly difficult to catch a boss no matter how much you drop by more than 10 levels. Also, the skills used by Seion’s bosses do so much damage that you have to memorize patterns and avoid them, but it’s twice as difficult to catch them alone. If you can’t get over a certain amount of damage, it’s difficult to break through the defense… Even if you get there, you won’t be able to fully demonstrate the power of that boss skill… If you die there, all the skills you’ve acquired will disappear.”
“Yes.”
“Seon is what you mean. It’s true hardcore among hardcore. monster? that’s medicine No matter how careful you are, if you make a mistake, an arrow will be planted in your head and a blind knife will come flying and cut your stomach. Tsk.”
“Then is it really a skill I can’t use?”
My sister shook her head at my question.
“That’s not it, it’s much better than a normal skill. So, hide it as long as you can. Even though it’s top-notch, dying in Seion is an instant. Fortunately, if you put it on broadcast mode, you can hide it all, but quick-witted kids will recognize it right away. So, until you reach at least level 50, level up while doing some broadcasting practice.”
The bottom line is to get stronger quickly. My older brother, who was listening carefully to our conversation, clicked his tongue and said,
“Tsk, you didn’t become super strong just because you had that mythical skill.”
“Isn’t it obvious? Seion is not a package game that you can enjoy alone… No matter how strong a skill is, there is such a thing as compatibility, and even mythic grade magic can be completely honed by advanced grade dispels, right?”
I thought it was a great treasure, but when I heard that it had a lot of flaws, my brother’s expression changed to a dull expression like a beer that had run out. However, Hyemi noona clapped her hands and said, as if she didn’t care about how he felt.
“Now, think about that later, how much are you going to invest in Seion?”
“Should I invest?”
When the older brother asked with his eyes wide open, Hyemi noona frowned and replied, as if asking why she was asking something obvious.
“It is not natural. There are some kids who push with free content, but if you put it that way, there are more than 100,000 competitors in Korea. If you look at the world, including the kids who play as amateurs, the number will easily exceed 500,000?”
“Ugh… Five hundred thousand.”
At the sound of 500,000, the older brother swallowed the empty wind. I expected that there would be as many as Seion, which controls not only the global game market but also the economy, but I guess I never thought that there were 500,000 competitors.
“Especially, if you want to catch Junghyun as a boss solo, you need to have a good weapon, but even if you can’t, you have to spend 1 million won for the beginner package. Usually, it costs 10 million won to acquire early skills, but there is a mythical level, so there is no need… … .”
“No, burn 10 million won from the beginning.”
“ah… this poor human being If you want to properly start Seion YouTuber, even a million won is a fine. Don’t you know it’s funny that usually 10 million won kids start with a real heart?”
My older sister looked back at me and asked at my sister’s answer, which seemed like a lie but was so serious.
“Na Jung-hyun, is that true?”
“I told you. It costs a lot of money and it’s so red ocean that it’s hard to start… … .”
“That is true.”
The older brother let out a low sigh as if he finally realized it. I want to criticize him for not knowing that, but I didn’t because I knew his brother’s heart. And I don’t think there’s any need to pay. Because I already have a myth level skill. And as far as I know, Seion initially pursued ‘equality’.
It is known that even a bill of less than 100 won can surpass the money spent by nuclear bill whales depending on the amount of time, effort, and luck invested. And I am confident that I will do well with my time and effort.
no… You have to do well.
Because that goddamn brother seems to have gone all-in with everything he has in his hand.

“Turn on the broadcast… The title is roughly… Kei’s Seion challenger.”
Following Hyemi noona’s advice that it’s better to practice broadcasting on a platform rather than on YouTube, I started with Paprika, which noona is broadcasting on.
Viewers: 0
“Didn’t they say that they usually attract viewers with a charge in the beginning and go viral little by little with that?”
My older sister said that it would be difficult to get more than 10 viewers even with no billing for a month. Indeed, the Paprika homepage I saw for the first time had hundreds of broadcasts with 2-3 viewers. And now it’s a competition with them. No matter how good your skills are and your level is high, if you don’t get attention, you can’t get out of here for the rest of your life. After confirming that the broadcast was turned on properly, I set the alarm and set the window aside.
“For a while, let’s just live without worrying about it. connect.”
[Connect to Seion.]
[Welcome to Podina, the city of beginners.]
Shuuk-
Tweets… … .
Looking around, it was a bed covered with a rag-like cloth over dry straw. In Seion, the places where players could log in and out were the lodgings, campgrounds, and guild houses, but the dead previous owner seemed to have logged out at the cheapest accommodation available to beginners, of course.
“Ah, what an unpleasant smell… … .”
The musty smell of straw stings your nose. No matter how hardcore they are, I want to get out of here as soon as possible because of this smell.
“First, check the warehouse.”
I turned my head and opened the shabby wooden drawer next to the bed.
shook-
A regular hexagonal square appeared in front of my eyes. There were a total of 16 squares, but all they contained was a wooden stick and 1 gold.
“There is nothing either. Then the equipment window… … .”
When I opened the equipment window, a bunch of ridiculous looking equipment appeared. It is cloth clothes made of soiled stiff linen, but what they have in common is that all of their names have the suffix “beginner” added. This beginner set was a piece of equipment given to players starting Seion, but I heard that in the case of no charge, you have to endure with this equipment until about level 10.
“And for now, I’m also free of charge.”
I was promised small financial help by my sister, but the minimum level to receive whispers, transactions between users, and mail was from 10, so I had to somehow grow with what I had until then. And the first thing she asked me to buy were high-grade boots. Usually, you have to get a weapon first, but in Seion, where a single death causes you to be unable to connect for 3 days and suffer a massive level down, it is said that running well is more important than fighting well. Of course, the route to get the weapon for free has also been drawn… … .
“Before that, distribute the points… … .”
I opened the status window to distribute undistributed points. The ability my sister recommended was strength, and the reason was that in order to have enough attack power to defeat the boss, the minimum level of strength must be satisfied. My current goal is to challenge the first boss at level 15 after balancing it to some extent by taking only strength until level 10, then taking agility and will from level 10.
“I said I had to live as an infighter with a glass jaw until I cleared the first raid boss.”
As your strength increases, your character’s strength increases and you can learn physical skills. Dexterity is related to speed, flexibility, accuracy, etc., and intelligence is essential for learning mana and all skills, so other stats had to be raised above a certain level. Lastly, will is related to vitality, divinity, and resistance.
Once I invested all of my undistributed stats into muscle strength, I displayed a document brought in through an external device on one side of the screen. This is an in-depth early training tip that Hyemi noona wrote down with great care. It is not a common strategy book that goes around, but a strategy book that considers recent events. And the first start is the beginner dungeon underground waterway. I got up from my seat after taking 1 gold from the wooden drawer and putting it in my beginner bag.
“Shall we go?”
