7. Free 10 Gacha (2)
The middle-aged man stepped forward as if to calm down the surroundings.
“One thing’s for sure, we all know nothing about this place, including you. If we each talk about what we know, we might get valuable information. I’d like to start by introducing myself, but does anyone have a different opinion?”
The audience was silent. Her man gave her a satisfied laugh and opened her mouth.
“I’ll introduce myself first. I’m Lyle. I’m 44. I run a carpentry shop in Edora. I have a wife and two daughters. I don’t remember why I came here… I’m sorry. ?”
“Greet. Thirty-two years old. I worked as a street vendor in Halsea. I don’t know why I came here either.”
The people started introducing themselves in a clockwise direction.
They were of different ages and occupations. merchant. woodcutter. Carpenter. blacksmith. coachman. grass. butcher… … .
People introduced professions that disappeared long ago as livelihoods. They wore clothes of crudely woven leather and fabric, and uttered names they had never heard of before.
Isel said I was from Taoni. I don’t know why, but the clothes I was wearing when I came here were similar to them, not sweats.
Unlike Shay, they seemed completely unaware of the current situation.
In any case, the predictions were correct.
These people are not Earthlings. It appeared to be from the continent of ‘Taoni’ that Issel said. It seems that humans live there too, but the state of civilization seems to be far behind that of Earth. Of the 11 people, I was the only one from Earth.
The introductions of the people gathered in the square were all over.
All I could tell from their self-introduction was that they knew nothing. Lyle asked how many times he remembered how he got here, but he didn’t know anyone, including himself.
“This is embarrassing…”
Lyle stroked his beard and made a troubled expression. But she patted the palm of her hand as if it had been like that, and after arousing the audience, she said.
“Shall we look around this place? It can be dangerous if you go alone, so 4 people, 3 people, 3 people, like this…”
[What are you saying, old man!]
Also, it appeared.
Isel whirled above us, sprinkling stardust.
[It looks like the Master is going to open a gap in time and space, so get ready to fight!]
“You, you…?”
[I am Issel. The fairy who manages this place! Don’t mess around if you don’t want to get hurt.]
A man stepped forward.
My eyes lit up. That man’s name is Mormont. He is the only one among us with two stars. He is said to have been a mercenary before coming. He wore old leather armor and wore a proper sword at his waist.
‘Status window.’
I muttered while looking at Mormont.
[Mormont Carl (★★) Lv. 1 (Exp 0/10)]
[Class: Novice]
[Strength: 14/14]
[Intelligence: 10/10]
[Health: 12/12]
[Agility: 12/12]
[Possessed Skill: Lesser Swordsmanship (Lv.1)]
The initial stats aren’t bad. I have 10 intelligence, which is useless except for wizards. It was much better compared to 1 star starting with 10 in all stats.
said Mormont, who stepped forward.
“Did you summon us?”
[You know what to do!]
sereung.
People held their breath at the sharp sound of metal rubbing. Mormont drew his sword and aimed it at Isel.
“I’ll make you vomit it all up!”
Mormont screamed and thrust his sword.
It was a stab with quite a bit of momentum.
[‘Mormont (★★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[Sudden Death!]
[Cause of death – Suicide due to stress]
[Tips/Heroes get tired, depressed, or panic. Reduce your stress level! Give your hero a place to rest and play. Sudden death of unknown cause can be prevented.]
dump.
Mormont’s body disintegrated after losing his head.
“Ah ah ah ah!”
“What, what! Dead? Dead chaff! What, this!”
[I told you not to mess around if you don’t want to die. If you just listened carefully to what I said, nothing like this would happen. If you touch me, I will die. It’s justification. okay?]
As Isel swiped his right hand, drops of blood splattered. With that fern-like hand, he smashed the adult man’s head at once.
Suicide due to stress?
Where do you see that, suicide?
“Uh,, Ue eh!”
A few people with weak stomachs fell on their stomachs and vomited.
Same goes for my stomach. There is a human corpse right in front of you.
gritted it
I desperately corrected the reason that seemed to be broken.
[Form a party.]
[Drag and drop heroes!]
[‘Lyle(★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
[‘Ranto (★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
[‘Marlene(★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
[‘Celkerd(★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
[‘Saxon(★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
‘It started.’
[Open, the opening of time and space!]
The gate in front of the plaza opened with a bang.
“Eh, what happened to this. What happened!”
“Calm down! Calm down! Calm down first! Now, what did you call us for? If you want something, just say it!”
Lyle stuttered and asked Isel.
Isel said while clearing her ear canal with her index finger.
[You want it? Listen to me, fight well, and win well. All right. Easy?]
“Yeah, yeah, what can we do?”
[Come out of the person whose name was called. Lyle, Lanto, Marlene, Calkard, Saxony!]
“Me, do you mean me?”
[If you want to be like him, don’t come out.]
Isel pointed to the headless body.
The five of them came out somehow, even though they hated it.
[Now, take turns. See that door? Go in there.]
“for a moment!”
I said.
[Is it you again! Why again this time!]
“I guess you want to climb the tower too, right?”
Issel’s expression crumpled.
It seemed to hit the mark. If it wasn’t for that, there’s no need to be so angry when Shay is synthesized. I would rather have laughed at it.
[What about that?]
“Have the master draw a weapon. We’re 1 star. We don’t even have stock weapons. You’re not going to send a suicide squad either.”
[that… … That’s right. Am-am, wait!]
Issel suddenly disappeared.
[Master, the heroes have no equipment.]
[Before going on an adventure, how about summoning equipment for smoother battles?]
[Tips/Heroes without weapons enter battle with an old iron sword (F). Place your equipment in the Armory and the heroes will equip it for you. Of course, you can also designate a lifted weapon. Prepare your equipment. Do not forget it!]
One more assumption was correct.
ISELL could interfere with system messages.
Following Issel’s guidance, Amkena entered the summoning station and immediately began summoning.
[Equipment Summons]
[Summon the item.]
[Summon 1 time – 5,000 gold]
[Summon 10 times – 50,000 gold]
[Master, start summoning equipment for 10 turns.]
[Tack, durururu.]
[Follow me!]
[Master ‘Amkena’ has acquired the ‘Iron Sword (E+)’!]
[Master ‘Amkena’ has acquired the ‘Crude Bow (E-)’!]
[Master ‘Amkena’… … .]
Lyle came to me.
“Hey, hey, I said Han. Do you know anything about this place!”
“I’ve only just arrived, so I don’t know. If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that Ultada can die. So, everyone.”
I pointed to the open armory door and said.
“You’d better get your weapons out of there. It’ll start soon.”
“What starts?”
“battle.”
“Did you say battle, battle?”
“You can stay there if you don’t like it.”
I went into the arsenal.
Various weapons were stuck in the old showcase. These are things that Amkena got from the 10-game equipment draw. Steel sword, bow, mace, pike. There were several types.
Soon after, a good number of people entered the arsenal.
“Hey, can I pick out a weapon here?”
A middle-aged woman asked me with anxious eyes.
I nodded.
“I-I don’t know anything like fighting! I didn’t even fight when I was young!”
“Choose first. Choose and think!”
“This is mine!”
The nine of them started rummaging through the arsenal.
That’s the highest tier weapon. I looked at the mace that Lyle was holding dear. At the end of the mace was a barbed iron ball.
[Morning Star]
[Grade D+]
When our eyes met, Lyle shuddered. They seem to think I’m going to take it. I laughed and turned my back.
don’t worry. don’t take
I heard the equipment in the corner of the arsenal.
[Crude Wooden Shield]
[Grade E+]
‘There was.’
I was nervous about what would happen if I didn’t come out.
When the level and stars are low, when the hero is not familiar with combat, which equipment increases survivability the most. This is one of the tips I got when developing several sets of 1 stars.
The ones with the highest probability of surviving were those with shields.
[Out of the arsenal! Because it starts now!]
In the plaza, Isel groaned.
Each person picked up their own equipment and came out of the arsenal. Mormont’s corpse, blood, and vomit in the plaza were completely gone.
“What is this?”
“Is it magic?”
[Noisy, did you call me earlier? Lyle, Lanto, Marlene, Calkard, Saxony! five like this. Go through that door, Execution!]
The five people who were called entered the door hesitantly. As Isel followed him inside, the gate slammed shut.
silence.
The other four stand idly by.
I was sitting near the gap in time and space, examining the shield. Whether it is not broken or punctured, and whether it can block the enemy’s attack properly.
No problem.
It was a crude shield carved out of an oak tree, but it would easily block a goblin’s sword or catapult.
“Do you know what will happen to your brother?”
A girl with a bow came up to me.
Red long hair and freckles. He was a head shorter than me, and his skin was tanned brown.
“A little bit.”
“What about us? Why do we need weapons? Where else are we? What is that fairy?”
It spits out questions like a rapid-fire cannon.
That’s why I tried to pretend I didn’t know. It wasn’t specifically for them that I intervened earlier. It was to increase my chances of survival. Mormont, a professional mercenary, is dead, and the remaining four don’t look particularly good at fighting.
Gail, an old coachman who has driven only carriages all his life.
Greet, a street vendor who has never fought with a friend.
A pork that is doubtful whether it can run with a lot of fat, Dajil.
And this cheeky girl, Jenna.
‘This is why I’m a 1st person.’
If you’re unlucky, you might die on the first floor.
I answered roughly.
“Soon we’ll go into the battlefield. All we have to do is kill all the enemies there. I don’t know the rest, so think for yourself.”
“A battlefield?”
I closed my mouth.
Jenna inquired several times after that, but I didn’t answer. In the end, Jenna gave up and sat down against the wall.
[‘Marlene (★)’ returned to the arms of the goddess. Her fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
is it already dead
The monsters that appear on the 10th floor and below are goblins at most.
I wanted to see the battle scene, but the video doesn’t appear. The system reported only the outcome of the battle.
[‘Celkerd (★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Ranto(★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
I got up from my seat.
Could it be that it was wiped out on the first floor?
[‘Saxon(★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
“What is it, what’s the matter?”
“Be quiet.”
[‘Lyle(★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess. His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Party 1’ has been wiped out.]
[You Lose!]
“…”
[You useless bastard!]
Isel, who appeared in the plaza, stomped her feet. Her face was red.
I was also a bit dumbfounded.
It’s not easy to get wiped out on the first floor. It may be the words of the master who blew away the rare hero he picked for free. If Shay had been there, he would have handled it all by himself.
[Form a party.]
[Drag and drop heroes!]
[‘Han (★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
[‘Jenna(★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
[‘Dajil(★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
[‘Great(★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
[‘Gail (★)’ joins ‘Party 1’!]
Of the 11 heroes, 6 died and 5 remained.
Here, the Master had three options.
One, a paid summon is made with 500 gems obtained as a tutorial reward. A hero of 3 stars or higher will come out, and with that ability, you can easily clear the first floor.
Second, buy a training center with 500 gems, reinforce the heroes, and then put them in.
Three, just put the remaining 1 stars.
[Open, the opening of time and space!]
I guess it’s the third.
