A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

[Be realistic… Do you know how big the World Tree is? Even a lower-dimensional cube can’t contain a tenth of it! And even if it were possible, what about the other Spirits? The presence of one Spirit implies there are others.]

“That’s true… I was only thinking of myself.”

Kaiyan had hoped that the Spirit would be a good companion for Blackie, who spent much time alone in the pocket dimension.

Leaving his disappointment behind, he gently separated from the Spirit and approached the alligator monster, which was struggling to rise.

“I was feeling good until just now, but not anymore.”

“Kueeek?”

“So just give me the G-points.”

As the creature looked at him as if wondering what that had to do with it, Kaiyan threw a punch, startling the slow-reacting monster.

Pah-gagak!

It was impossible for the large, sluggish monster to dodge his fist.

The creature’s head snapped back from the direct hit, its eyes rolling back as it collapsed once more.

The punch was as powerful as before, but the head is a fatal spot for anyone. With its skull shattered, there was no doubt about its death.

“Let’s see how many G’s I got.”

[Current G: 976G]

“Huh? That’s more than I thought. Did the alligator give that many G’s?”

[Really? I remember we spent most on the scrolls.]

He couldn’t recall exactly, but the amount was significantly higher than the last time he checked.

“Could it be because of the Muliaron and Kabien? Although Canien took Kabien’s life, I had already inflicted serious damage on him, so it must have counted. And I killed Muliaron all by myself.”

“Is that a bit too little? Those guys were as strong as named monsters.”

Kaiyan pondered, comparing them to named monsters like the Twin Head Ogre. Though not as formidable as the top-tier named monsters, they were certainly more challenging and stronger than lower-tier named monsters like the Orc Lord or Harpy Queen. Yet, they yielded less than 1000 G.

[Well, that’s because the player system decides the G-point distribution based on its assessment. It seems it didn’t consider them to be that formidable!]

“That’s a bit disappointing. If I had known, I would have used some method to catch Canien too. That guy would have given more G than the others, right?”

[…Probably. He was incredibly strong, after all.]

Kaiyan had never directly faced a super-sized monster, so he couldn’t be sure if Canien was stronger. However, from what he felt, Canien’s strength was above that of the Basilisk.

Then how many Gs would the player system award for defeating a monster stronger than a named one, a super-sized monster?

Gulp.

Just the thought made him swallow saliva involuntarily.

Could it be twice as much as a named monster, maybe 2000 G or even 5000 G?

“Kirut?”

Lost in his thoughts with his eyes closed, he was brought back to reality by the curious Spirit, tilting its head adorably.

If his sister Viya had seen the Spirit, she would have been overjoyed.

“Where is your home, little Spirit?”

“Kiruroot!”

[The Spirit is asking us to follow it.]

“Huh? You have a home? Wait… Rieka, you understand what the Spirit is saying?”

Kaiyan asked incredulously. It was one thing to understand his words, but it seemed even more remarkable that Rieka understood the Spirit’s cute, indiscernible sounds.

Looking at Rieka with surprise, she casually flicked her short forelimb over her head and spoke as if it were obvious.

[I know all languages! Have you forgotten who I am?]

“I know, you’re adorable Rieka!”

[Ah! Don’t do that! It’s embarrassing in front of the Spirit!]

Lifting Rieka up as usual, the Spirit looked on curiously, flailing its forelimbs in a way it hadn’t before.

“What’s wrong, Rieka? We do this often.”

[Well…]

Rieka seemed a bit disappointed as she scratched her head and sighed.

[Since you’ve passed level 70, I guess it’s okay to tell you now.]

“Tell me what?”

[Remember you asked if all player assistants are like me?]

“Yeah, I did.”

He had asked Rieka numerous questions about player assistants after reaching level 60 and reuniting with her. One of those questions was whether all player assistants were cats like her.

Rieka hadn’t elaborated much at the time, only stating that they were not.

[I have limits on the information I can share. Even if I know something, I can’t always tell it.]

“I know that. It’s due to lack of eligibility.”

When he had met an unknown being through the roulette wheel, Rieka had guessed its identity but couldn’t reveal it, claiming he lacked the necessary eligibility.

[That eligibility isn’t easy to raise. Whether it’s monsters, humans, elves, or anything else, most are bound by the limits of the status they are born with. But players are different.]

“Because of leveling up?”

[Yes! Leveling up allows you to do what is normally impossible. And now that you’ve reached your level, there’s certain information you can hear.]

“What is it?”

Curious about the information only available after level 70, Kaiyan opened his eyes wide, focusing on Rieka’s words.

[Most player assistants are chosen from among spirits and a type of being called ‘Hwansu’ (Magical Creature or Mythical Creature).]

“Eh?”

[So, this Spirit could potentially become a player assistant one day. Essentially, my junior! But you’re embarrassing me in front of such a creature by treating me like a child!]

“Is that all?”

[Yes! So, please be careful in front of this one!]

The fact that most player assistants are chosen from spirits and the previously unheard-of Hwansu was certainly surprising. However, the reason Rieka wanted to be put down and the necessity of reaching level 70 to learn this seemed somewhat absurd to Kaiyan.
