Chapter 4. Fighting Against 100 Men (1)
The pillar of light vanished.
Kang Oh, who looks identical to Jae Woo's real life, appears in shabby entry-level clothes.
He was in the middle of the square that was crowded with people.
“Inviting damage dealers and healers for Alhaitz Cemetery. Must be at least level 100. Prefer the experience. We hunted for a long time. “
“Selling the priest's special robe, Blessed Cloak by Alice. Please make an offer. If you don't know the market price, don't talk to me. “
“Inviting members to union ‘Mari Run’. Must be at least level 50. Only for active players! “
Kang Oh scanned his surroundings.
“This Javen Square.”
In half a year Jae Woo is stuck training his body, he fills his brain with all sorts of information about Arth.
There's a lot of information about Arth in his brain.
Thus, he knew exactly where he was by looking at the statue in the square.
“The nearest training center from here is Rain.” Training Center
As he had planned before, Kang Oh headed to the training center.
Since he memorized Altein's geography, nothing stood in his way.
“Info characters.”
As he headed to the Rain Training Center, he checked his stats.
[Lv1 Kang Oh]
Occupation: Unemployment
Disposition: Neutral
Title: Beginner
Fame: 10
HP&MP: 110/100
Stamina: 100
[Main Stats]
Physical: 11 (Strength of one's body)
Mental: 11 (Strength of one's mind)
Magic: 10 (The ability to use magic)
Sense: 11 (Ability to use skills)
The remaining points: 0
[Side Stats]
Nonexistent
(Appears when certain conditions are met. This statistic will increase or decrease depending on the user's actions.)
By looking at the statistics one by one, more in-depth information can be ascertained about their abilities.
For example, Physical shows muscle strength, agility, reflexes, etc.
Kang Oh already knew the specifics for each major stat, so he didn't need to check them out.
“The distribution of bonus statistics is also good.”
Usually, a person's main stats start at 10, but his stats (physical, mental, and resourceful) are all higher.
It's because of the scan.
Dreamgate encourages its players to scan their physical data and transfer it to their characters.
This is because it is proven that scanned characters, rather than normal characters, put less emphasis on the body.
So, starting out as a scanned character earns bonus points.
As if to say “do it!”
“Although not many people do.”
There are many players who customize their characters rather than undergo scanning. Because they'll be cooler or more beautiful.
Kang Oh was in good health, able to receive bonus stats, and maintain his trained body, so he had absolutely no reason not to do a scan.
‘I'm here.’
Kang Oh, who had arrived, opened the door to the Rain Training Center.
However…!
“Hah?”
As soon as he opened the door, he felt something on his face …
Hyper Intuition. It must be Hyper Intuition!
* * *
Kang Oh lowered his head.
It was because the training sword came to his head.
“Oh?”
The old man who attacked him smirked.
“Wait, who is this squinty-eyed old man?”
Kang Oh furrowed his brows.
“Try avoiding this one too.”
The old man swung his sword.
Kang Oh felt that horrible sensation once again.
He quickly pulled the sword from his inventory, blocking the area where he felt cold. The old man then attacked in that place with his sword.
His Hyper Intuition, which sensed danger, was definitely active.
Daahks.
Their swords clashed.
Kang Oh used his retreat to retreat.
“I feel my Hyper Intuition even in the game.”
Kang Oh feels that there is a high chance that his Hyper Intuition will not work.
Because it's a game.
However, his Hyper Intuition had been activated.
If not for the old man in front of him, he felt like he was running happily.
But the old man did not even give him a chance to be happy.
“Ha ha.”
The old man laughed as he attacked Kang Oh. His expression was similar to that of a child playing with their toys.
Ddmr.
Kang Oh blocked the old man's attack with a combination of Hyper Intuition and his combat experience. He also immediately understood the current situation.
“This is an event where the boss teaches you himself.”
Normally, one would receive a quest from one of the training center instructors, and then by hitting the wooden puppet about 100 times, would receive the side status, Tenacity.
However, when the boss appears, a special event will trigger at each of the training centers.
“Di Rain, maybe ..”
“Damn,” curse Kang Oh.
Event Event Endurance Event (against physical attack)! ’
The boss, Rain, would defeat players again and again, producing a side stat, Endurance!
“Damn, why?”
Why does it have to be an Endurance event !?
There could be other events, but he's one of the worst. He had no choice but to furrow his brows.
“Hit while I'm still good.”
Rain approached Kang Ho, tilting his head like a gangster.
“I have to hold on for now.”
Kang Oh believes in Hyper Intuition and Arth himself.
Arth was a really amazing game.
Each NPC has their own life, personality, history, and family.
They're like humans.
These NPCs were completely different from the ones in Warlord; they would only do what was programmed to do and all the results would be the same!
Nothing happened to Arth. There's only choice. And an infinite number of results based on that decision!
There must have been an outcome where someone had not been defeated by Rain.
“You survived, yes.”
The Rain Sword did not stop.
Kang Oh narrowly avoided or blocked Rain's attack.
“How about this?”
The more he did, the faster Rain's sword became.
Kang Oh realized that at this rate, he would not last long. Their difference in abilities was too wide.
“I have to end this.”
Kang Oh decides to attack, rather than defend.
But Rain, as per his status as the boss, had no vacancies. So, his Hyper Intuition, which guided him towards his opponent's gap, was silent.
Moreover, the Rain sword was really fast.
Even if he knew where the sword came from earlier, he could barely block Rain's attack.
At some point, he had reached his limit; he could not block the Rain sword anymore. Finally, his leg was hit.
“Ugh.”
Since it was a game, the pain was not great, but Kang Oh lost his balance and fell to the floor.
However, he did not lose consciousness even when he fell.
‘Side!’
Rain became a little careless and Kang Oh’s Hyper Intuition focused on his opening.
He thrust all his strength behind him!
He was attacked while falling, so there was no strength behind him. But still, it did make contact with Rain's body.
Swashbab.
Kang Oh fell completely.
“Hmm. You're pretty good, “Rain looked next to him and said.
[You have been acknowledged by the Lightning Swordsman, Rain. Your fame is rising, and Rain will no longer attack you.]
Oohs!
Kang Oh stands suddenly on bail that he will not be attacked again.
“Not what.”
He really wants to say, “You crazy grandpa!”, But hold back.
It seemed obvious that if he cursed her now, she would only get a sword for her trouble. Underwrite. Hang in.
“Ah, you are not at all pleasant.”
Rain quickly turned around and left, as if he had lost interest in Kang Oh.
[Side stat, Indomitable, has been created.]
[The higher the Indomitable, the more you can conquer your fears, and the better you can fight an enemy stronger than yourself.].
“Basic old grandpa!”
After he confirmed that Rain had already left, he issued a long-awaited curse.
“He just did what he wanted!”
He spat on the floor and then entered the training center.
“Welcome. This is Rain Training Center .. “
“It's pretty far. Please give me a search. ”
Kang Oh, who got the quest from an instructor, hit the wooden puppet 100 times and got the Tenacity side stat.
[Side stat, Tenacity, has been created.]
[The higher your Tenacity status, the harder your ability to go down.]
“You have talent in martial arts. Do you want to be a student of .. ”
It was exactly the sort of thing that a piano teacher said to one's parents. “Yeah, your son is so talented!”
“No, thank you!”
Kang Oh immediately refused and left the training center.
* * *
The Altein Gate was open as usual. Kang Oh goes through the exit gate to the grassy plain.
The beginners were busy killing monsters.
Monsters like Apple Slime, Melon Slime, Diseased Rat, Rabbit with slow legs, etc …
Kang Oh approached Melon Slime who was wandering nearby.
And slapping the Hyper Intuition shown opens with a novice sword.
NAH!
Mucus expels red light shards.
In Arth, light shards are used instead of blood.
Clearly, the more fragments and the larger, the more damage the monster suffered.
If the red light shards scattered like now, then it showed a critical attack.
Tong keg's! (Means fat/fat)
Melon-colored mucus glared at Kang Oh and reflected his body towards him.
A tackle!
Kang Oh moved so that he did not feel cold, and dodged his attack.
As a result, Kang Oh received 0 damage.
As in real life, if he was not exposed, he would not receive any damage.
Evade! Critical Hit! Evade! Critical Hit!
Using his Hyper Intuition, Kang Oh continuously repeated evasive and attacking actions.
[You've beaten Melon Slime.]
“By aiming for its weak point, I get a critical hit. And I can dodge his attack before it hits me! ”
Hyper Intuition.
In Arth, these skills are the best. And that was also a skill that only he had.
‘Hyper Intuition! If I use this well, then .. ‘
* * *
Even though it was a workday, Jae Woo went to the Swordmaster dojo.
“Don't you say you can't come on a weekday?” Deok Bae said while looking at him.
“Instructure, please help me.”
“With what?”
“Please argue with me while I'm wearing an eye patch.”
Jae Woo thought he would say something like, “You are crazy?”, But Deok Bae just smiled and tilted his head.
“Fighting while blindfolded. It's classic. “
Obstructing one's gaze to train the senses of others was a classic training method for martial artists.
Jae Woo's goal is not to train his wits, but to complete a certain quest.
“Alright, let's leave soon.”
“Iya. Thank you very much.”
At first, Jae Woo argues against Deok Bae with his eyes closed and Deok Bae holds back.
Fortunately, he didn't get too lost because of his Hyper Intuition. He reacted naturally, moving his trained body according to his Hyper Intuition directives.
As he gets used to fighting with one person, Jae Woo slowly adds more people to the field.
And that's how a whole week went by.
At that moment, he became accustomed to fighting several opponents at once without his sight.
“I think this is pretty good.”
Jae Woo accesses Arth once again.
* * *
Alteins.
The capital of the Altein Empire, which once united the entire continent of Arth.
It was once called the holy city, Altein.
With the people overthrowing the empire, Altein was now the largest city on the continent of Arth. It was an independent city ruled by an elected mayor.
Although the Empire no longer existed, there were still some great buildings when uniting the entire continent.
One of those buildings is the Holiseum!
It is shaped exactly like a coliseum, but entirely snow white. And if one looked closely, they would find other differences as well.
But it was still a building with the same purpose as the coliseum.
Match fighting!
The Holiseum fighting game, which opens on weekends, is the sport most enjoyed by Altein residents.
Arth's battle was not a place of slaughter or slaughter, but to show one's skills.
Gladiators were famously loved by Altein residents as sports stars.
Plus, once every 4 years, the Holiseum will host the Carnival Friends, the strongest place will be decided.
When that time comes, the strong and those who want to testify about the strong come here.
Of course, Kang Oh was not interested in participating in a fight match or the Friends Festival.
There was another reason why he came to the Holiseum.
“Here, yes.”
Kang Oh had arrived in front of the stairs that were under the Holiseum. A cold wind blew from within.
As soon as he got down, he met a curved passageway.
“Are you a challenger?”
A man, wearing a gladiator helmet, was sitting on a chair in the middle of the hallway.
Helmet Helmet Pride Friend, created by the master blacksmith of Altein Kingdom! So this must be Burkan. “
The helmet is great enough to bear the name of Rakan, the god of victory and war, and the owner of the helmet is Burkan, a gladiator said to have never been defeated.
“That's right, great gladiator.”
Gladiator sir, Burkan!
If possible, he wants to be close to her.
“Follow me.”
Kang Oh follows Burkan.
Torches, which adorned both sides of the wall, illuminated the hallway like streetlights. And the passageway was getting further and further underground.
At some point, Burkan stopped.
At the end of the passageway, there was a tightly sealed iron gate.
“After you open and enter this gate, Fight Against 100 Men will begin. You know the rules, don't you? ”
The Fight Against 100 Men!
This is the search Jae Woo is looking for.
