Episode 3
A young man is reflected on the calm surface of the water.
Dark eyebrows, distinct features. When the corner of the mouth is raised, the hollow dimples are revealed. However, the fake laughter disappeared the next moment as if it had been washed away.
Clink.
When I threw down the dish filled with the washing water, debris flew in all directions.
“f*ck, Shivaal-!”
what do you do if you are handsome I can’t log out.
I shuddered in all kinds of madness for the past four days, but the answer that came back was the same.
– Logout is not possible.
‘I’m thinking of making something like this. Crazy guys.’
I remembered the precautions while swearing nonstop.
–
Players cannot arbitrarily log out.
–
If you die while playing, you cannot resurrect.
To sum it up, it’s simple.
I’m playing a martial arts genre game called [Woorim], but I can’t log out and if the character dies, I die too.
heh heh heh
‘What bullshit is this.’
But that’s what’s actually happening.
I couldn’t log out, and I waited for rescue outside for three days, but nothing happened. As for the death, I haven’t checked… … It is highly probable that this is true under the circumstances.
‘But there is a way.’
Saying that players cannot arbitrarily log out is the same as saying that logging out becomes possible when certain conditions are met.
‘For example, quests or level up.’
Since this place, [Murim] is a game, this is the answer I inferred.
In the game, rewards are given each time you complete a quest and level up.
This was proven by completing step 1 of the tutorial earlier.
‘First of all, focus on quests and level up.’
This is the conclusion I came to after three days of deliberation. And there were essential requirements. just survive.
You must work in a place where your life is not threatened. If you can get someone’s help, that’s great.
‘There’s just one place that’s just right.’
Just then, Wolhwa’s voice came from outside the door.
“Princess Jin, the carriage is ready.”
It is not the F-rank Hunter Jin Tae-kyung, but the carriage that will take Jin Tae-kyung of Taewon Jinga home.
Wolhwa, or no, the quad carriage given by Honghwaru was large and splendid.
The coachman was a taciturn person, so he never said a word, and it was comfortable for me.
Because I didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone.
‘Check the quest.’
– Do you want to start the [Tutorial – Step 2]?
accept/reject
It was a quest window that had been opened dozens of times and finally closed. It was because of fear of the unknown. But don’t hesitate any longer.

But Moorim is an unpredictable place. From now on, use the only power you have, the ‘system.

chain quest
… … If it was like this, it would have been over.
Maybe it’s the natural order.
No matter how abnormal it is, after all, the essence is a game.
I thought, recalling an online game that had sprouted in a drought in the past.
‘Check the status window.’
[Lv.10 Jin Tae-kyung]
Occupation: Third-class soldier Reputation: 0 Title: Son of the famous family / family value (title effect applied) Strength: 10 Stamina: 10 Agility: 10 Intellect: 10 Charisma: 10 Spirit: 10 years Remaining points: 100 – Distribute remaining points do it.
– Scion of the High Family (All stats +5, Reputation +50) – Family values (All stats -5, Reputation -50) ‘What is this?’
I blinked. It feels like being stabbed in the back of the head.
Taewonjinga, who farts in the neighborhood. Also, the one from the Murim family… … Third-rate unmanned at only level 10?
‘Is it true?’
The back of my neck was sore when I read the specifics.
The title effect of [Son of the High Family] was completely blocked by [Family Shame].
‘I’m a fool for expecting it.’
Born into a good family, martial arts training is an afterthought, and he is a rich man who struggles with women and alcohol. It’s not just a family shame.
‘f*cked.’
But it is a failure payment. You have to spit once and pass it on.
Fortunately, all stats have been reset. It’s a huge advantage to be able to raise the ability you want.
I scanned the status window with a hawk’s eye.
‘This is not just a game. Let’s think, think, think… …
This space should not be accepted as a mere game.
This is a matter of life and death. Just like the RPG games I played in school, I was blown away by strength and agility. If you do this, you will go straight to the goal.
At that moment, the eyes that had been rolling without a break stopped.
‘Should I invest in air power?’
strength, or strength.
It is a different term for energy such as mana and aura used by high-ranking hunters in reality.
In most martial arts novels, the old man of today and tomorrow chews, gnaws, tastes, and enjoys the young and lively martial arts masters.
If you are martial, you will be able to do it. If you stick with it, I stick with it. Is there even a saying that the only thing that determines the master’s measure is the power of the gong?
‘First of all, be careful… … Gives 1 point to gong.’
– [Gongpower] can only be increased through items such as training and elixir.
okay. I knew it. She knew this and had no expectations… … Damn you? ‘s system.
‘Then, except for air power.’
Subtracting the power, there are five remaining abilities.
strength stamina, agility, intelligence, charm.
I decided to leave out intelligence and charm.
‘It doesn’t help.’
The goal is survival and logging out, not college entrance exams or dating.
Fortunately, I’ve been a professional hunter with 7 years of experience, and I know very well what it takes to survive.
‘Garden and stamina are 30 each. Agility is 40.’
It was a decision made after much thought. Moderate power and excellent evasion. and stamina. It was also a fighting style that he had become accustomed to for 7 years.
– Do you want to apply it as it is?
okay.’
That was the moment.

– You have changed your job to a [Second Class Soldier]!
100 points total
As the remaining points evaporated, I felt a change in my body.
From head to toe, and to the depths of my body that I cannot see. The power bestowed by the system permeates it. connect unite and release
In an instant, the heat swept over my body as if it had swallowed the sun, and I could barely open my eyes only after the afterglow had gone.
And I was astonished.
“This, this.”
My voice trembled involuntarily. It is not the surprise of unfamiliar sensations.
It was because, at this moment, a feeling that I felt only once a long time ago, but which I could never forget, came to my mind.
how can i forget That day 7 years ago.
‘Awakening… … !’
The 20-year-old me was helpless at the unexpected sensation.
And when I opened my eyes again, I realized that I had been chosen. 0.1 percent chosen. He became an Awakener.
The joy I felt that day confused me now.
“Why is this here?”
It was a system notification that woke me from my stumbling block.
belt ring.
– [Check Status Window and Distribute] has been completed.
I thought as I licked my dry lips with my tongue.
Okay, let’s focus on the present first. There are only two left to complete the second stage of the tutorial.
‘Check the skill window
[Lv.10 Jin Tae-kyung]
Simbeop: Jingasimbeop (unusable) Martial arts: Chengachangbeop (unusable) / Jingabobeop (unavailable) Musculoskeletal: 10
Root veins: 10
Remaining Points: 100
–
Distribute the remaining points.
–
Weapons cannot be used.
–
I haven’t practiced martial arts for a long time, so I’ve forgotten the Gu-gyeol.
It was good to open the skill window. Because the moment you see it, all your other thoughts disappear and the time for the wise man has arrived.
One, two, three.’
Did I count wrong? Or maybe the text is too small for you to see. I opened my eyes and stared at the skill window.
One, two three… and three.
Jingasimbeop, Jingachangbeop, and Jingabobeop. That is all of Jin Tae-kyung’s skills and mine. I even forgot everything.
‘It will turn.’
If I die, the cause of death is the vase. vases.
It was only after I calmed down to some extent that I was able to look at the skill window calmly.
okay. It’s martial arts, you can learn a lot in the future.
‘Where are the remaining points?’
I tried to masturbate and looked at the skill window again. I don’t know if it was because it was so empty, but there was a word that immediately caught my eye.
‘Muscles and Musculoskeletal. I’ve seen this a lot in martial arts novels.’
Musculoskeletal refers to tendons and blood vessels, and musculoskeletal refers to muscles and bones.
In other words, it can be concluded that if it is centered on the inner hole, it is the muscle vein, and if it is the outer hole, it is the muscle bone. Among them, I decided to focus a little more on the muscles and bones.
The reason was simple.
‘The odds of survival go up if you pick something familiar.’
In reality, I am an F-class Hunter. In terms of Moorim, it could be a third-rate accident-free, maybe even less.
Casting magic, creating auras… … Even if I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I’m not impressed with my ability. I couldn’t even dream.
‘A guy who has eaten meat eats it well.’
A person who has also used internal skills will try it.
The fighting style I’ve been fighting for the past 7 years is close to that of a foreign air force practitioner.
’60 for muscles and bones. 40 for muscle veins:- Do you want to apply it as it is?
‘Yes, apply.’
At that moment, a different pleasure swept over me than when I was in the status window. maybe it’s the pain I could hear the sound of my bones twisting deep inside my body.
‘Kuk’
how many seconds? how many minutes I don’t know. In the place where the pain passed, the sound of panting breath and the reward for patience awaited.
‘The physique… …
It has changed. Both shoulders are spread half a span, and the muscles in the front and back are tight.
The silk clothes, which were a bit generous, felt stuffy.
When I clenched my fist, I felt a strength and elasticity that I hadn’t felt before. got stronger It is an experience that has never been experienced in real life.
‘Because there is no system.’
You can develop muscle strength, stamina, and flexibility through training, but you only vaguely feel it until you measure it.
However, this place, Moorim, is different.
You can see your abilities through the status window and improve the abilities you need. I don’t know where the end is, but I can keep going.
‘Become stronger. And survive.’
Over the past 7 years, I have fought numerous monsters. There were days when he returned without a single wound, and there were days when he passed the test of death.
F-class Hunter Jin Tae-kyung has something that Moorim’s Jin Tae-kyung does not have. experience.
and desire.
more, more, more, stronger And survive.
The moment I clenched my fists with such a promise, a notification rang.
belt ring.
– [Check and redistribute skill window] has been completed.
There is only one thing left.
‘Check inventory.’
belt ring.
[Sturdy Uniform Set]
Class: Third Class Restrictions: None Effects: None Description: Made of light, tough fabric. Worth it for beginners
As it is a basic item, the explanation is simple.
‘Wear the item.’
My whole body felt refreshed for a moment, and suddenly I found myself wearing a black uniform.
It’s not just the top and bottom that have changed.
In martial arts novels, a hood, commonly called a hero gun, was tightly tied to the forehead, and leather shoes were worn instead of silk shoes.
Are you going to look like a warrior 1 now?
‘Store the item.’
As soon as I thought about it while holding it in my hand, it disappeared in an instant.
Inventory. Is this very convenient?
Depending on how you use it, you can also apply it in battle.
‘If I had an inventory, it would be really convenient when raiding. ,With this one, you don’t have to fight monsters, and you can build a building with your annual salary just by collecting magic stones.
‘But it won’t work.’
Because it’s a game. When you log out, it’s over… … I wonder if I’ll be able to log out alive.

It was the moment when the handle of the spear was caught.

“… … uh?”

You haven’t even opened the quest window yet?
The answer came from the wrong place.
This was the first time the taciturn coachman spoke.
“Confucius.”
“yes?”
“I have a minor problem.”
“Suddenly, what is that?”
