Episode 1 Reincarnation Quest (1)
I moved forward without hesitation.
A huge number of monsters were rushing towards me, filling my field of vision, but I didn’t pay any attention to them.
As the monsters drew closer, the black knight guarding my right side reacted.
He draws out his dark greatsword and unleashes a huge sword energy.
– S-sigh!
The monsters in the area where the disaster passed were destroyed without a trace.
A small status window appeared above the knight’s head.
[Quiet, Black Knight] [Graduate] [Rank: S]
Following that, the wizard standing to my left also began to chant his magic.
Soon, countless magic circles rose above the heads of the monster army, causing a chain of explosions.
– Pfft pfft pfft!
[Hong Hyun-ah, Ruby Matapju] [Graduate] [Rank: S]
The path opens thanks to the efforts of two S-ranks.
I continued on my way.
Those who haven’t given up yet come rushing in from all sides, but they are automatically repelled and disappear before they can even get close.
The priest walking behind me.
This is thanks to the powerful protective shield she maintains.
[Lee Seo, Saint] [Graduate] [Rank: S]
Even if you look at the faces of other party members, they are all painted as S-rank.
It was only natural that the monster army gave way without any power.
As we swept away the annoying flies, a ruined temple came into view.
I kicked open the half-broken door and walked inside.
In the middle of the temple there was an altar, and on that altar was a jewel that gave off an ominous red light.
As I roughly picked it up and held it out over my shoulder, a woman suddenly emerged from the shadows and accepted it with the greatest respect.
Sharp fangs protruded from the corners of her mouth.
[Carmilla, the Last Vampire] [Graduate] [Rank: A]
– Flash!
The jewel Carmilla received emitted an explosive light.
Soon it began to shrink in size and turn into a red gas, and was sucked into her without a trace.
Carmilla opened her eyes, having absorbed all of the jewel’s power.
[Carmilla, the Vampire Queen] [Graduate] [Rating: S]
I nodded my head at the sight.
‘This is the 1,000th.’
Academy MMORPG
The player grows through numerous incidents and accidents at the academy.
After graduation, you will be on the front lines, fighting dragons and other boss monsters.
My job in this game was ‘supporter’.
Why supporter out of all the classes?
That had to do with my favorite content in the game.
It’s called ‘Raising a Hero.’
Grow a rookie NPC who has just entered the academy into the strongest graduate, an S-class hero.
And the supporter was the class best suited for this task.
‘It was a bit difficult at first.’
It’s not easy for the player to become S-class, so it’s not easy to raise an NPC to S-class.
But I gave it my all and eventually achieved S-ranking one or two people.
As the number of heroes under his command increased, he gradually gained know-how and his work accelerated.
At some point, other players started calling me a ‘factory that produces S-class products’.
At the same time, my own power also grew stronger.
My job was still support, but as I became interested in the jobs of the heroes I was raising and delved deeper into them, I unexpectedly became well-versed in all sorts of fields.
So that’s how it is.
[Carmilla], who just achieved S-rank, is the 1,000th.
There are a whopping 1,000 S-class heroes under his command.
There are thousands of skills learned while training them.
#1 in the integrated ranking.
The strongest supporter.
That was me.
But even I had concerns… … .
‘There is not enough content.’
He has been to the academy hundreds of times and has trained thousands of heroes.
Among them are knights, warriors, magicians, sorcerers, priests, explorers, alchemists, blacksmiths, merchants, and even farmers, groomsmen, and fishermen.
All kinds of occupations were included.
After raising them all to S-rank, I now have nothing left.
To be exact, only mediocre friends remained, overlapping with the heroes I had already raised.
‘Should I raise it even if it’s duplicated? There are already a lot of duplicates. But is it better than doing nothing?’
While I was seriously contemplating such things, a note-shaped icon blinked in the corner of my vision.
This means that an important notification message has arrived.
[You have accomplished something great that no one else has ever accomplished.]
[1,000 S-Class Graduates!]
[You can proceed with special quests.]
▷Stop the destruction of the world.
▷Difficulty: EX level
!!Caution!! This is a reincarnation quest!!
[Accept/Reject]
‘This is… … .’
I have cleared several S-class quests.
These were not easy things even for me who was ranked number one.
In that case, it was clear that the EX level above it would be even more difficult.
Besides, it’s called a ‘reincarnation quest’.
A quest that temporarily resets almost all of the player’s abilities, equipment, and skills.
Of course, the difficulty is one level higher than the normal quest that you approach in perfect condition.
How ridiculous would the difficulty level be if reincarnation was added to EX level?
But that didn’t matter to me.
‘You’re saying that S wasn’t the highest grade?’
The important thing is that we just found out that there is an EX rank above the S rank.
If there is an EX rank quest,
There will also be EX rank items and skills.
‘EX rank heroes too.’
My collecting urge is burning.
We have found a clue to nurturing stronger heroes.
Are you giving up on this because it looks too difficult?
It’s no different from denying myself.
I chose [Accept] without hesitation,
[The quest begins.]
I entered the game world.
* * *
In the middle of a forest with trees lined up densely in all directions.
This is a common sight at
The problem was that I immediately felt a strong sense of discomfort.
For example, a breeze blowing from somewhere, my hair fluttering in the wind, and even the faint scent of grass carried by the wind.
This situation right now was neither a game nor a dream.
If my guess is correct… … .
‘Is this it?’
‘I became a player in a game,’ something I only saw in novels.
Now I guess I’m the main character of that novel.
I think it might be due to the influence of the EX level difficulty.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t embarrassed.
But what can I do, it’s the quest I chose.
And even if I had known this would happen, I would have definitely accepted the quest.
That’s what the opportunity to train an EX-class hero meant to me.
Accept it quickly and move on.
‘Status window.’

A neat status window greeted me.
Virtually everything I had was gone.
The various S-rank skills and traits, the legendary equipment that covered their entire bodies, and the thousands of S-rank heroes are no longer there.
In fact, it is safe to say that this is the first time a character has been created.
If you are a support class, then all that’s left is to roll around like a dog.
‘It’s too early to be disappointed.’
[Reincarnation Quest privileges are granted.]
Even though it’s called ‘reincarnation’, it doesn’t mean that you can just throw it at an EX-class with your bare body and tell them to break it.
Instead of initializing, they give players a few weapons as a minimal buffer, called the Reincarnation Perk.
This privilege is determined by adding up the skills, traits, equipment, and achievements you already have.
And for the rotten water that has done nothing in this game, I am given some pretty salty perks.
[Acquire the ‘Copy Skill’.]
[Acquires ‘Copy-Trait’.]
[Acquire ‘Amplification (F)’.]
[Acquire ‘Monarch (F)’.]
[Copy], [Amplify], and [Monarch].
These were skills that I enjoyed using because they were powerful and useful.
It was a bit painful that my rank, which is a measure of my growth, dropped to F, but it was somewhat expected as it was a reincarnation quest.
Just raise the rank again.

As I checked the status window, a message appeared as if it had been waiting for me.
[Tutorial I]
▷Condition: Survive for 10 minutes.
▷Reward: Yongsal Academy Freshman Kit
[9:56 remaining]
They throw tutorial quests at you without giving you a chance to catch your breath.
The goal is to run away for 10 minutes.
However, the original tutorial was about surviving for 10 minutes in the beginner training grounds, surrounded by low-level monsters such as goblins and gnolls.
The difference is that I’m in the middle of a forest and I don’t know where I am.
– Kwung! Boom!
As I was thinking that, I was terrified when I heard heavy footsteps.
The crackling and snapping sound of wood was a bonus.
A giant monster soon appeared, pushing through the bushes.
“Come on over already.”
“Kuuuuu… … .”
Ogres are graded between C and D.
It’s too high to be featured in a tutorial.
The bastard was holding a club the size of a man’s body in one hand, and as soon as our eyes met, he swung it at me.
He quickly moved to the side and the club struck the ground with an eerie clang.
– Boom!
He ducks down to avoid the club swinging horizontally.
As expected of a C~D class monster, its physical abilities are incomparably stronger and more agile than mine.
Since the movements are monotonous, you can avoid them if you predict them well.
‘I’d like to catch it if possible.’
Why, don’t you give more rewards if you catch something you’re told not to catch?
The difference in physical ability is so extreme that it seems difficult… … .
‘Should we give it a try?’
[copy-characteristics]
It’s a ray of light for supporters who have a hard time learning even one proper attack technique on their own.
A skill that literally copies the opponent’s abilities.
[Copy-Skill] copies the skill,
[Copy-Trait] copies the trait.
However, there are some limitations.
You must directly verify that the opponent’s skills or characteristics are being used, and you must accurately match the name and rank.
This is why I’ve been avoiding the ogres and letting them attack me up until now.
Judging by the looks of it, this thing has a C-class trait.
[Use ‘copy-properties’.]
[Register the target’s characteristic ‘Strength (C)’ in the slot.]
▷Copy-Characteristics[1/1]
1. Super strength (C)
My whole body was filled with strength.
The ogre tilted his head, sensing the change in my mood.
But that was only for a moment, as he started swinging his club wildly again.
Approaching slowly and avoiding,
– Phew!
He put his fist into the stomach.
I turned my body slightly again, and the club passed by with a difference of just a sheet of paper.
He drove his fist deep into the bastard’s stomach again.
After repeating it a few times, I clicked my tongue softly.
“Tsk.”
It tasted good, but didn’t cause much damage.
If you check the remaining time.
[Tutorial I]
▷Condition: Survive for 10 minutes.
[Remaining time 06:03]
It’s already almost halfway through.
If I had enough time, I could beat him up all day long, but unfortunately, the tutorial will end soon.
But at that time,
“What the heck?”
The ogre’s face turned pale and he trembled as if he was frightened by something.
Then he hurriedly turned his back and left the place.
An ogre isn’t the type of monster that would run away after being hit twice with a fist.
While thinking, why?
“Koooooooo—!”
An ear-splitting roar echoed overhead.
As you look upwards, a huge flying object zooms by with a frightening whoosh.
“Krrrrrrrrr—!”
There was a loud noise again.
This time, the identity of the aircraft could be clearly seen.
It was a dragon.
Two of them too.
