It has already been three weeks since I entered the gate with my family and Seonwoo. My family and Seonwoo were able to raise the level to 30, and my level became 41.
He learned all of Hertian swordsmanship, and was able to learn archery as well. And the most important thing is the former. Father chose a job called ‘Swordsman of Wind’, mother got a job called ‘Earth Shield’, Si-yeon got a job called ‘Friend of Water’, and Seon-woo got a job called ‘Those who deal far away’.
As all of them reached level 30, the selected jobs were one level higher than the jobs that usually had the word ‘elite’ attached. So far, it can be said that everyone has achieved their goal.
“I think you should take a break now.”
Shi-yeon speaks as if she is tired. Well, it was a lot of running. Taking level 40 in 5 weeks is actually not an easy task. In our case, there were Orc warriors who could chase us, and Hoya prepared for the danger, so we achieved a tremendous level of 30 in 3 weeks.
However, even if you play the game, you need to rest when you level up. Very few people continue to level up. So I nodded my head at Siyeon’s words to rest. Even Siyeon and Seonwoo look exhausted, so their parents are surprisingly lively.
“Are Mom and Dad okay?”
“yes? Am I having fun?”
“I’m fine too. I remember playing games when I was younger.”
It may be so for parents. Your body will be energized and you will feel like you are back in your youth. But I still think it’s good to take a break. Because at level 30, I don’t think I’ll be in danger anywhere. And everyone made their intelligence and mental strength above 60. I thought that only then would I be able to resist hypnosis.
“Then let’s take a break for a week or so. It’s actually nice to rest here.”
“Ugh, I’m really second to Hunter, but I’m really tired here.”
At Sunwoo’s words, I asked him.
“So you don’t like it?”
“No, I wouldn’t like it. But I agree with taking a break. And I think it would be okay to learn some life skills while taking a break.”
The talk about learning life skills while taking a break was a very good one. My mother has already mastered the skills of ‘cooking’ and ‘weaving’. It was because he hung out with the female Orcs and weaving together with the female Orcs.
Possibly because Siyeon didn’t have the talent there, she didn’t get the skill there. My father learned farming and livestock skills. When the hunt was over, he worked with Karak and that was it.
In the meantime, Seonwoo developed a skill called architecture. My father was more interested in farming and livestock than building a log house, so at some point Seonwoo and I completed a log house.
Currently, two log cabins have been built. One is a two-room log cabin used by my mother and Si-yeon, and the other is a three-room log cabin occupied by my father, me, and Sunwoo. And now, the orcs wanted to build more log cabins as well, so I was thinking of making them too. In this situation where each of them learned their life skills, Siyeon was not able to learn anything. So I showed Siyeon what I was good at.
“Hey, do you speak English too?”
It’s not about me, it’s the title of the book. English conversation book. As a student, Siyeon should definitely learn these life skills.
“why? Are you dissatisfied? Think carefully. Even if you only speak 2 levels of English, you can still watch Hollywood movies and TV shows without subtitles?”
“Ohhhh! And did you know that I would pass? You know who’s stupid!”
Demonstration was furious. So I talked to Siyeon in English, Japanese, and Chinese. Of course, Siyeon can’t understand what I’m saying, but if you’re a modern person, you can roughly tell if you’re good at using a different language.
“Wow, what is it? Really, this can be registered as a skill, and you can do that like your brother?”
“When did your brother ever go abroad to study?”
“No.”
“Then isn’t this enviable?”
These days, learning a foreign language is more natural than it was in our days. First of all, there are many cases where there are native speaking teachers in Korean high schools. Siyeon’s school is in Gapyeong, but I heard that there is one female teacher from the United States who is said to be a native speaker there. It is no exaggeration to say that English is still the universal language of the world. If you learn this properly, honestly, I think the range of things you can do will widen.
“Really?”
“When did your brother lie to you?”
“Oh, a lot.”
“admit. But it’s real.”
“Okay.”
So Siyeon made me learn English. It’s still high school, so wouldn’t it be better to learn at least something useful? And Seonwoo and I share our opinions about architecture again.
“So you want to build a brick house?”
Bricks can already be made. I tried making one, and we are more familiar with this one than the log cabin. Of course, the houses we live in are made of concrete.
“Wouldn’t that be better? In the end, won’t there be more Young Ji-min?”
There are many female Orcs who are full. she was pregnant I’m not sure about the gestation period or growing time of the orcs, but I can tell that they’ll be faster than humans. It’s not a bad thing to build a house out of logs, but it’s true that a house made of bricks is better in terms of sturdiness.
“Let’s do it.”
Sunwoo smiles at my words. As for the construction skill, I am level 1 and Seonwoo is level 2. Why is Sunwoo higher than me? He said he did a lot of so-called Nogada in the past. It is a very friendly system. So, we each decided to spend a week learning life skills according to our tastes and needs, and taking a break.
For reference, both father and Seonwoo created fishing skills. In my father’s case, fishing is a whopping level 4.
***
While resting for about three days, Seonwoo and my family were practicing their life skills, and in the meantime, I went into the forest with Hoya. Alone with Hoya.
“Hoya. What is this line here?”
There was a line I hadn’t seen before. It was a little further in from the beginning of the forest. Hoya taps it with her foot and makes a play for me.
Nyan Nyang! Nyangnyangnyang! Nyaungnyang!
“So, from here on, it’s an expert course, so what?”
Hoya nods and rubs his head against my leg. However, it feels different from the usual aegyo. Do you feel like trying to smear your scent on me? Originally, the so-called headbutting behavior of cats is an act of putting their own scent on the opponent. It can be seen as gaining stability while doing so, and marking that it is on one’s side.
But now, Hoya is quite meticulously covering his scent on me. As if this is to protect me.
I looked at Hoya’s status window. Meanwhile, Hoya reached level 52. Considering that he was level 47 in the past, he would be incredibly level today. if not.
“Recently, my observation level reached level 4.”
Maybe it’s because I haven’t been able to see Hoya’s status window until now. And I don’t even know if the max of the level I can confirm is level 52.
“Hoya, are you higher than level 52?”
Nyaang?
Hoya looks at me as if he is laughing. Maybe the real Hoya is a manrepnyang. In fact, Hoya lived in this place for decades. So it might be the strange part that he was only level 47 in the first place.
“Well, what if you’re a perfect cat? yes, that’s my baby Is not it?”
Nyan!
As Hoya answered, he rubbed his head against my face.
“Let’s move on.”
Lines hadn’t been seen before. My current level is 41, but this is something I didn’t know even when I was level 40. Doesn’t that mean that the entry level is at least level 41 to cross this line?
so crossed the line Then an amazing thing happens.
“autumn?”
So far, the season on the island has been summer. It’s probably summer now. But here we have just crossed the line, and it is autumn. cold. I don’t really feel the transition from summer to fall, but at some point, don’t you feel the cold? that’s the weather You might say it’s not spring, but my senses say it’s autumn.
“Is it another world from here?”
Nyaang.
Hoya nodded.
“And you’re saying that monsters with higher levels appear here, right?”
Nyan!
That’s right. The reason Hoya brought me here must be that he told me to level up here. Just then, a huge figure caught my eye from afar. A monster holding a club as tall as me.
“troll?”
As an observation, I looked at the guy.
-You used the Observation skill.
Name: Thumbtroll (Level 38).
A troll that lives in the forests of the island. The meat is very tough and hard to swallow. There is nothing to be gained by ingesting it. However, troll blood can be used as a cure. It does not die unless its head is destroyed.
It was a real troll. It is approximately 3 meters tall. I raised my horn bow and aimed it at him. Then he landed a shot at the boy’s head.
bang!
“You are the first to dodge my arrows!”
For some reason, the conglomerate spat out a line that would have been said to a Cinderella lady, and I immediately hung up my arrow again and started shooting at him with a continuous fire.
Bang! hooked!
He parried most of my arrows, but one hit his heart. A troll that freezes instantly.
I drew my sword and ran at him. Even using the sprinting skill he learned from his father.
Awesome!
Without looking at this or that, I jumped and cut off his head. I used up most of my remaining mana.
Fortunately, my gamble-like attempt worked. His head was separated from his body. But that was the moment.
puck!
In an instant, a tremendous pain surged through my back. I fell to the ground and immediately got up. Then I could see the arms attached to the decapitated troll’s body attacking me. But no more attacks followed.
Perhaps the body was alive for a while even after the head was separated. It was only then that I felt relieved when I saw my body completely stopped. It was then that Hoya saw blood from the troll’s body smearing it on his paws.
“what are you doing?”
Hoya soaked in blood and rubbed it on my back. Surprisingly, the pain started to go away immediately.
“Hey, what if it gets infected?”
Nyan!
“Are you okay?”
Well, the system also said troll blood was the cure, so maybe it’s okay. And I held the Hoya who healed me and wiped off the blood on Hoya’s paws with my clothes. Some cats enjoy playing in the water, while others hate it. Hoya belongs to the latter. Even so, blood was put on my feet for my sake. He said that his mind was extraordinary.
“But Hoya, do I have a healing skill?”
Nyaang?
Hoya makes a shocked expression.
