[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]
-Successfully passed the second wave.
– 50 points will be given to all people who participated in the wave.
Thanks to Seun’s appearance, the wave ended quickly.
Those who were pushing the weaker ones forward with the middle-aged man caught their eye, but when they saw the man being pushed by Seun and trampled by the wild boars, they immediately changed their stance.
Some people came up to him to express their gratitude, but Se-Woon waved them off. His actions were not intended for them in the first place.
-Calculating personal achievements… … .
[ 1st place: Jeong Se-woon 1,080 points ]
[ 2nd place: Kang Han-cheol 180 points ]
[ 3rd place: Yoo Seo Ah 100 points ]
…
The results of the individual public service evaluation naturally showed that Seun ranked first.
There were some points that came from this wave, but a big one was from going into the Wolf Forest and hunting the gray wolves.
In fact, more than half of the points you see now are points obtained from the Wolf Forest.
– Predated on the ‘brown boar’.
– Absorbs nutrients to increase strength by 1 and stamina by 2.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, gnaws at the meat eagerly, saying that he has been waiting for this moment.
Seun used his power of gluttony on most of the wild boars he faced.
There is only one boar carcass left.
The reason Se-Woon gave up on increasing his ability and kept this one was simple.
‘Wild boar meat would be better than wolf meat.’
Right, meal.
Of course, you will need to find your own food to eat during the tutorial.
He had eaten wolf meat before returning and realized how tasteless carnivores were, so he left the boar carcass behind.
Even if it’s a wild boar, it’s clear that they wouldn’t hesitate to eat meat in the wild like this, but at least it’s tastier than wolf meat.
Squeak.
Se-Woon cut open the boar’s stomach without hesitation.
I was concerned about the rust on the sword, but I couldn’t care less about something like this.
Blood and entrails poured out from between the split stomach skin.
I knew the basics of slaughtering, but I had no intention of doing any real slaughtering here.
After all, all he had to do was obtain enough food to eat one meal.
at that time.
“excuse me…….”
I turned my head at the sound of someone’s voice.
In that place, a woman with neatly tied brown hair was looking at Seun and hesitating.
By quickly observing her appearance, Se-Woon was able to deduce her occupation.
‘Are you a chef?’
Fingers covered in small cuts and burns, and looking like they’re missing some places.
Naturally, I could understand why she had come.
“Hey, can I help you? I run a small restaurant, so I know how to prepare meat to some extent!”
Se-woon smiled slightly as he watched her raise her voice excessively, perhaps because she needed courage.
Se-un pushed a middle-aged man between wild boars, swinging his sword without hesitation, causing blood to spurt out.
People were hesitant to speak to Se-un like that.
But, for Se-woon to break through that fear and come forward first to find his own work, he thought it was a very desirable action.
“of course.”
“Oh, thank you!”
She was just given a job, so what was there to be thankful for? She bowed her head and took the sword from Seun.
He paused for a moment, looking at the seriously rusted sword, then took a deep breath and immediately began slaughtering.
Stone, rustling.
Remove the skin and take out the intestines.
Cut the meat into edible parts and organize them, then insert the sword into the gaps between the bones to remove the meat.
He wasn’t even a slaughterman, and even though he was a chef, he had never slaughtered a freshly dead boar before, but the meat was slaughtered better than expected.
“I brought you some water. Do you need it?”
“Wow! Thank you! I thought I was dying of thirst!”
“There’s a small stream next to the rocky mountain. I can give you more if you want.”
“Then please! I was a little worried about the condition of the knife, so I wanted to wash the meat.”
“yes!”
Did you feel inspired by watching her performance?
People who had been squatting on the ground and not knowing what to do also began to move little by little.
They even brought water from the stream and branches from the forest to prepare meals.
And as time passed, some people spread out leaves and prepared a place to sleep.
“It’s done! This will be enough for us to eat.”
“I gathered firewood. I also brought some flat stones that look good for grilling meat. Do you think they’ll be okay?”
“Of course! Thank you for your hard work. But… … .”
The meat was ready to be grilled, of course, but there was one problem.
That’s right, fire.
“Does anyone have a lighter?”
“When I opened my eyes, everything but my clothes was gone… … .”
“me too.”
When entering the tower, you cannot bring any belongings other than simple clothing. This is because some races may enter with artifacts or scrolls, which can disrupt the fairness.
Naturally, there were no tools, including a lighter.
“Well, I think I’ve seen how to make a fire. Should I give it a try?”
“I will light the fire.”
“Yes? Is there any way… … .”
Se-un stepped forward.
Whoever did it, the firewood and stone slabs were neatly arranged so that cooking could be done right away.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[Kasha’s Spark]
– A low-level spirit of fire, the fire spirit possessed by Kassa. Although weak, it is imbued with the power of the spirit and does not go out easily.
“Oh oh!”
Along with the feeling of an intangible energy leaving his body, flames shot out from Se-Woon’s fingertips.
Since I still had no mana, it seemed like my mental power was being consumed instead of mana.
‘I need to accumulate mana quickly.’
At first, you could fight most monsters just by moving your body, but later on it was different.
No, I wouldn’t say later. Even after the middle of the tutorial, it was difficult to properly deal with monsters without mana.
Se-un thought that he should learn Mana as soon as he had some free time and held the flame towards the firewood.
Hurrah!
It was difficult to obtain dry firewood, and the firewood was not in good condition, but Kasha’s spark found its way into the poor firewood without hesitation.
Indeed, the spark of the spirit.
Soon the logs were engulfed in hot flames, accompanied by acrid smoke.
“How did you do it? It was like magic!”
“Magic… … similar.”
“yes?”
“Open the status window later. You might find some talent there.”
“Status window?”
“More than that, everyone is only looking at the meat.”
“Ah! I’ll bake it for you right away! Everyone, please wait a moment!”
Chewy!
As the meat was placed on the stone slab, the pleasant sound and the smell of grilling meat spread around the camp.
After the tutorial started, smiles appeared on people’s faces for the first time.
* * *
Raindrops-
Se-woon took a big bite of the meat he was holding.
It was surprisingly juicy and my lips were covered in oil.
I didn’t use any seasoning, but strangely enough, I didn’t detect any fishy smell.
Se-Woon smiled involuntarily as he recalled the horrible taste of the wolf roast he had first eaten before his regression.
‘It’s different because it’s made by someone who knows how to cook.’
The most popular dish was grilled pork belly on a stone plate, but Se-woon took a seat in the corner with a well-cooked skewer.
Even though people’s wariness had been greatly reduced, there were still quite a few who were afraid of Seun.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, whets his appetite with the delicious smell.
‘I need to eat to live too.’
To meet Beelzebub’s demands, you will have to hunt monsters and cook repeatedly all day long.
Even if it was a constellation, it had to be ignored to some extent.
As he was finishing his meal, someone brought a cup of water made from folded leaves and held it out in front of him.
“drink.”
Yusuh.
She is the woman who was called ‘Seonpung’ in the tower before Seun returned.
Gulp, gulp.
After nodding slightly in gratitude, he took a sip of the water in the leaf.
It feels like the thirst that has been building up without me knowing is being quenched and my body is filled with energy.
A brief silence followed.
The first one to speak was Yoo Seo-ah.
“Did you find that sword in the forest?”
“I was lucky.”
She looked at the sword placed next to Seun with envy.
‘Well, before any skills or talents, it was said that Yu Seo-ah had learned swordsmanship from the beginning.’
Memories from before the regression briefly came to mind.
It looks like you’re using a stick instead of a sword, but it’s hard to exert any real power with that.
That’s probably why there were relatively fewer points compared to Kang Hyeon-cheol.
“Do you see the system message floating above?”
“Yes. But I guess they’ll give me some time to rest, so I’ll have some time to spare until the next raid.”
“Other than that, there are public funds below.”
“100 points… … . Why is that?”
“With that amount, you could probably buy a sword. It wouldn’t be in great condition though.”
“Yes? How?”
“If you focus on the points, the store menu will appear.”
The achievements you gain from the tutorial can be used in a variety of ways.
There are various potions and basic equipment, as well as top-tier items that are expensive but hard to obtain even in the Tower.
Of course, she needs to conserve her public points as much as possible to pass the tutorial at the top level, but what she needs now is a weapon that she can use right away.
“Wow, it looks like some kind of game.”
“Similar. As I said before, if you want to survive here, you’ll need to adapt to the system quickly.”
Yu Seo-ah furrowed her brows without realizing it, as if she was concentrating.
He waved his fingers around to choose an item, then nodded as if he had made a big decision.
Bam.
“Wow!”
A sword appeared in front of Yu Seo-ah.
Short sword.
It wasn’t that long, and it was so old that the blades were missing.
It wasn’t just rust, it looked more serious than Seun’s ‘Forgotten Hero’s Sword’.
The lowest grade sword among those that can be purchased with points in the shop.
It’s a shame, but of the swords you can buy for 100 points, this is probably the best.
But even so, it’s a black sword, so it’ll be much more helpful than swinging a wooden stick.
As evidence, Yu Seo-ah was holding the newly created sword and was open-mouthed in admiration.
“Amazing! How on earth did you figure this out?”
“I just quickly came to terms with the situation.”
“I thought I adapted quickly, but Se-Woon can’t keep up.”
“Did I tell you my name?”
“Someone told me to get used to the system.”
Yushua pointed to the empty space where the system message was floating.
Personal merit ranking.
Seun’s name was written openly on the first place, so if you paid even a little attention, you couldn’t help but notice it.
“But… … Did it really have to be that way?”
She looked excited for a moment, then asked with a sullen expression again.
Even though there was no object, I could immediately understand what was being said.
I’m talking about a middle-aged man who was pushing people forward, boasting about his position on Earth.
“That’s why I said discussing it was useless.”
“But maybe there is another way… … .”
“And if the people who were forcibly placed in front of that man got hurt, who can be held responsible?”
Instead of answering, Yu Seo-ah stabbed the floor with her short sword.
Since she adapts quickly, she probably already knows it in her head even though she says it like that.
How to adapt here. What is the most efficient way.
“Thanks for letting me know.”
“It was nothing.”
Yu Seo-ah got up from her seat.
Although I couldn’t see his face, I could hear a small determination in his voice, as if he had made a pledge to himself.
“And please take care of me in the future.”
After the regression, the first night of the tutorial.
Se-un fell into a deep sleep, leaning against a suitable wooden pillar.
