“Mr. Seun, this is… … .”
“I mean, literally, get out of here now.”
[Tutorial Chapter 2 – Moving]
-You must move along the grassland and reach your destination.
– Time left until destination: 167 hours 59 minutes
The second chapter of the tutorial has begun.
The idea is simple: get to your destination.
There were 168 hours left, meaning they had to arrive within a week.
‘Following the meadow’ may be ambiguous, but there was an arrow-shaped shape floating above it. So even when the meadow ends, just follow the arrow.
Compared to Monster Wave, it’s a simple story that doesn’t seem that difficult, but people’s reactions weren’t that good.
“Leave?”
“I thought things were finally settling down… … .”
“I thought I could rest a bit now that Monster Wave is over.”
The theme of the first chapter of the tutorial is ‘adaptation’.
People have thoroughly adapted to this place for its purpose. In this wilderness where monsters attack every day and there are no proper facilities.
Moving requires new adaptations, so it was natural that people would feel uneasy.
‘How should I say this?’
Even Yu Seo Ah felt slightly flustered, seeing that people couldn’t calm down for quite some time.
Se-Woon knew about this situation, but now that he couldn’t mention his memories from before his regression, he couldn’t think of a way to lead the people.
In this situation, two completely unexpected characters began to change the atmosphere.
“Ugh! My buildings! My fences! I worked so hard to build them!”
“It was almost completely destroyed by the wave just now anyway. Wouldn’t it be more fun to build a new one than to fix it?”
-The constellation, ‘Black Bird’, nods, saying that architecture here has its limits.
-The constellation, ‘The Giant Bird’, says that this place is too narrow and wants his contractor to move to a wider place.
“That’s right!”
Twin sisters. They were in charge of construction and contributed most to the formation of the Campdown camp.
Now that he has to abandon the camp, he is the one who is more heartbroken than anyone else.
But those two people were radiating a positive vibe and leading the people.
“Where are we going? Oh, maybe we’ll come across a village or something?”
“Oh! When I go to town, the first thing I want to do is take a bath in warm water!”
“But if a monster appears on the way… … .”
“Hey, so what? You’ve been doing so well up until now.”
The two exchanged words quickly as if they were performing a skit.
The atmosphere was already somber due to the news of the second chapter of the tutorial, so their voices were heard throughout the camp.
People couldn’t help but be interested in the conversation between the two.
And finally.
“Right? Sister, brother?”
“That, that’s right!”
“Well, after going through this ridiculous situation, what could be the problem with anything else?”
The two began to attract people to their atmosphere.
As the two twins, who were likely to have the hardest time, took the initiative, people were also drawn into the positive atmosphere.
In the meantime, Se-Woon was able to see.
Wink!
The twin sisters are giving her an awkward wink.
* * *
The situation was quickly resolved thanks to the efforts of the twin sisters.
Although some people were worried, most were convinced by the new tutorial and got moving.
The skins of the hunted monsters were taken and handed over to Go Chang-seok, and the meat was cut and handed over to the cook. In addition, the weapons and monster bones that the Red Monkeys had brought were also handed over to Go Chang-seok.
Because the number of monsters that appeared during the tenth wave was so large, Go Chang-seok and the cook had a hard time.
Well, fortunately.
“I’ll help too!”
“Thank you! Then, could you carry the meat over there? I’m going to smoke it so that it can be stored for a long time!”
“Sir, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Haha, thank you. If you have time, could you disassemble those monkeys’ weapons? They’re a bit cruder than I thought, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.”
People are working hard to help both of them with their work.
Of course, most people spent their free time resting or training to fight monsters, so now that the monster waves have disappeared, there will suddenly be nothing to do.
Se-Woon looked at the busy camp and approached the broken fence.
There, twin sisters were looking at the fence with regretful eyes.
He may appear cheerful in front of people, but his true feelings are probably this way.
They were so focused that Se-woon coughed softly right behind them before the two of them turned around.
“Huh? It’s a blood wolf!”
“Wow, it’s a blood wolf!”
Blood Wolf.
Se-Woon felt his head throbbing for a moment.
‘If this continues, I think my tinnitus will become fixed.’
Tinnitus is not just a nickname given to us by people.
A part of the story that the system acknowledges as the player’s achievements accumulate from the tutorial. That is the real ‘alias’.
As the system acknowledges, this often has a direct impact on the direction the player will take.
Although there were some players who planned ahead and artificially created their own stories, there were almost no players who actually created their stories as they wanted and obtained nicknames.
But, things are different now.
If you are called by your nickname from the very beginning, which is the first chapter of the tutorial, and act accordingly, the system cannot help but nod.
‘Well, it doesn’t seem like such a bad tinnitus.’
Like Heukui-gae (黑衣丐), which means a beggar in black clothes, or Dirty face, which means a dirty face.
Among the players, there were many who had tinnitus that was so uncomfortable that they even wanted to hide it.
“But what is going on here?”
“Are you here to play with us?”
The twin sisters approaching, perfectly hiding the regretful look in their eyes as they look at the fence that will now be sent off.
Se-Woon avoided eye contact as if embarrassed and muttered quietly.
“thanks.”
“huh?”
“Eh?”
They both looked surprised as if it was an answer they had not expected at all. However, they quickly noticed the mood and smiled brightly.
“Hey, what are you doing with that!”
“Since I have to leave anyway, wouldn’t it be better to quickly let go of my regrets?”
“That system is so powerful that even monsters can spit it out. If you don’t listen, you can tell what’s going to happen!”
“And is this a reward for cutting down a lot of trees for you before?”
“lol!”
The twin sisters laughed off Se-woon’s thanks as if it were nothing.
I guess he passed the buck in the name of repayment because he was afraid that Se-woon would feel burdened.
Se-woon smiled at the twins’ consideration and changed the topic of conversation.
“Do you need anything?”
“I need something… … Ah! I have a concern. Can you listen to it?”
“Huh? We had a problem?”
“There’s that, that!”
“Oh, that!”
Se-un tilted his head at those words.
I just asked to move on from the conversation, I had no idea what they would need now that they were leaving camp.
“This way!”
“Follow me!”
The twin sisters grabbed Seun’s wrists from both sides and pulled him up.
Se-Woon, whose hands were suddenly tied, was dragged to a corner of the camp by the two.
“That one!”
“……leather?”
“Leather! It’s a sleeping bag! It’s made from monster hide!”
“That’s right, Brother Hyulrang always slept somewhere different?”
When we arrived, there was a pile full of leather sleeping bags.
In addition, it was full of various daily necessities, such as water cups made by weaving grass and branches and tableware made by carving wood.
‘Well, I always slept on the other side.’
When you get too close to people, it becomes difficult to make cool judgments. Also, many people have been uncomfortable with Se-woon because of his cold behavior up until now.
That’s why Se-Woon has been secretly avoiding people until now.
I knew he was adapting better than I thought, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent.
“But why this?”
“That’s not all. There’s the blacksmith’s tools, people’s equipment, emergency food supplies, etc. Even if you leave the camp, there’s still a lot to pack!”
“It’s only been a few days, right?”
“I also thought about making the leather into a bundle and carrying it around… … .”
“I thought that if I carried it around like that, it would be a problem in many ways if a monster appeared!”
Se-un thought seriously about the twins’ words.
Sure enough, they were right. Before Seun returned, there weren’t many survivors, and the atmosphere wasn’t very good. That’s why I had to leave the camp without a proper plan.
‘That’s how the hellish march began.’
Naturally, the second chapter of the tutorial isn’t just about moving.
As the twins expected, there are monster attacks, and as soon as the grassland ends, rough terrain greets the players.
At night, the temperature was low, so people’s condition was always the worst.
The speed of movement gradually slowed down, and we almost did not arrive at our destination on time.
“So we decided to try making a carriage… … .”
“Even if you make a carriage, you can’t pull it!”
“Wouldn’t it be hard without Hancheol oppa?”
“If we all push together, it seems like it will only hinder movement!”
The twins’ expressions became quite serious. They were not talking lightly, but were seriously contemplating.
Se-un felt happy at the sight.
Until now, I had been worrying on my own about how to lead the camp, but before I knew it, there were people who shared my concerns with me.
“You must have thought a lot about it.”
“Hehehe, did you do well?”
“But my sister said that all of those things would be too heavy… … .”
“Ah, come on! Be quiet! The atmosphere was nice!”
Given the circumstances, it was impossible not to live up to expectations.
Something that can pull a carriage.
An appropriate method flashed through Seun’s mind.
“Would you two like to make a carriage first?”
“Yes? What should I do?”
“Surely you’re trying to pull it yourself? Even if you’re my brother, it’s hard to pull a carriage for a week.”
“No way. There is a way. First, make a carriage.”
“but…….”
“Sister, what are you worrying about? If Oppa says something like that, there must be a way.”
“Really? Then, we’ll just trust you, oppa!”
“I’ll make sure to make it strong, so look forward to it!”
-The constellation, ‘Black Bird’, glares at you, saying that he will not stay still if you disappoint his contractor.
-The constellation, the ‘giant bird’, hurriedly covers the ‘black bird’ with its wide wings and begins to make excuses to the demon.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, awaits your steps.
Seun moved his seat.
There, people were busy making smoked meat.
‘Even if you say it’s a method, it’s only one of two.’
The first method is to tame the monster. This is a very possible method if you have reached 2 circles.
In addition, Mamon’s treasure vault also contained a ‘leash’ used to tame monsters.
The only problem is that there are no more monsters here.
That’s understandable, since the monster waves stopped at the end of the first chapter of the tutorial, and the monsters in Wolf Forest and Hill had already been defeated.
If that’s the case, then the second method is the only one left.
Swish.
Se-un raised his hand.
None other than towards the monster’s bones, which were left after the skin and meat had been stripped away.
Then, he opened Mammon’s treasure vault as usual.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Raise Skeleton ]
– A magic representing the necromancer of the Black Tower, it breathes mana into the skeleton to create white bones.
Knock!
Under Se-un’s hand, the monster’s corpse began to shake.
