“What job shall I do this time… .”

Jung Hyeon-seong pondered while looking at the flickering monitor screen.
In the character selection window shown on the screen, more than 10 characters were taking their own actions.
“yes. This time I will try a wizard.”
I chose a new job without much hesitation.
Although he had already raised a wizard once, he did not hesitate.
It was because he had tried it once, and he knew that the mage suited his taste the best.
Lost World.
As an rpg game he has enjoyed over the past few years, it has the advantage of having a vast world view and excellent AI.
There was something quite odd about this game.
The thing is, the starting year of the game changes each time you play it.
Of course, since Jung Hyeon-seong has already raised more than a dozen characters, I have experienced the game backgrounds of various eras.
So it may not be a completely new background, but where is it anyway?
Lost World gave this system a freshness that is not the same every time.
‘That’s also one of the reasons why I can’t stop playing this game.’
Hyeonseong Jung smiled and concentrated on the character selection screen.
From now on, you need to decide on your character’s options.
-Name: (Please enter your name.) –
-Job: Wizard-
-Talent-
[Strength: ?/10] [Agility: ?/10] [Stamina: ?/10] [Comprehension: ?/10] [mana: ?/10]

‘My name is properly Leo… .’
The name isn’t that important anyway.
When you create a new character, you start out as one of the background characters in the game.
You can become the king of a country, or you can become a beggar on the brink of death.
In a way, everything was random, so it was decided by chance, but that was also one of the fun elements of this game.
Also, if you don’t like the start, just start again.
Because characters were free to create and delete.
However, Hyeonseong Jung, unlike the rough typing of his name, was extremely focused from then on.
‘Because what’s really important is how your talent rises.’
Talent.
What can be said to be almost everything in this game called Lost World.
There are five talents: strength, agility, stamina, understanding, and magical power, each subdivided on a scale of 1 to 10.
‘1 to 2 below average. 3-4 are the talents of ordinary people passing by. 5 is a level well known in the neighborhood. And 6 is said to be famous in a city.’

Jung Hyeon-seong recalled what he had seen in the game setting book.
It doesn’t end there.
7 is the number of talents that can be counted on one hand in a country, and 8 is a talent that will represent the country and make a name for itself in the world.
‘In other words, if the talent of power is 8, it means that if the talent blooms safely, it can become a world-famous strong man.’
Of course, just being talented doesn’t mean being strong.
It took blood and sweat to support him.
Besides, there wasn’t much one could do with just one talent.
It was impossible to become an outstanding knight only by being strong.
The talent of agility, including quickness and reflexes, had to be good, and there had to be a talent of magic to support that power.
‘But that’s about up to 8. It is completely different from 9 or higher, which is called a monster.’
Talent level 9.
A talent that no one can surpass, entering the top class in the world!
It was a figure that could have been aimed at the top of the world if it was supported by long hours and steady efforts.
And finally, there is the long-awaited talent level of 10.
‘An unseen genius who has never appeared in history… I said maybe?’
A talent that seems to have descended from God.
A demon that surpasses time and effort in that field.

Jung Hyeon-seong licked his lips.
Like this, the talent level is important, but the user couldn’t choose it at will.
I had no choice but to roll the dice and hope for a random number to come out.
I closed my eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and clicked the mouse.
– Hitting.
– Again.
With the sound of dice rolling, talent was determined.
[A random talent is selected.]
[Remaining chances: 2]
-Name: Leo-
-Job: Wizard-
-Talent-
[Strength: 5/10] [Agility: 6/10] [Stamina: 6/10] [Comprehension: 6/10] [mana: 5/10]

Jung Hyeon-seong’s face crumpled.
“What kind of rubbish… .”
My job is a mage, but strength is 5 and agility is 6?
Besides, his comprehension and magical power are not good.
＜Comprehension＞, the talent to understand magic and phenomena, and ＜Magic＞ talent to handle and use mana.
Both are essential stats for wizards, but only about 5-6.
In a word, ruined.
Neither a warrior nor a magician, a bad man.
I resolutely rolled the dice again.
[A random talent is selected.]
[Remaining chances: 1]
-Name: Leo-
-Job: Wizard-
-Talent-
[Strength: 9/10] [Agility: 3/10] [Stamina: 3/10] [Comprehension: 7/10] [mana: 6/10]

“… … .”

Jung Hyeon-seong shut his mouth.
strength 9.
My stamina is a little disappointing, but the rest was pretty good.
If you were a warrior.
‘It’s not like hitting the enemy with a cane, what is this?’
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Jung Hyeon-seong sighed and took the mouse to the dice again.
If the desired option did not come out even after using all 3 chances, from then on, you had to pay to purchase additional dice opportunities.
Otherwise, if you gave up creating, you could recreate the character as a wizard again after a month.
From the point of view of Jung Hyeon-seong, who has no money, charging is unreasonable.
After all, if you miss this last chance, you have no choice but to play as an insignificant wizard or try a new job.
“please… .”
The dice rolled again.
– Again.
Is it the result of the desperate heart of Jung Hyeon-seong?
-Name: Leo-
-Job: Wizard-
-Talent-
[Strength: 1/10] [Agility: 1/10] [Stamina: 2/10] [Comprehension: 10/10] [mana: 10/10]

Much better abilities than before were born.

Jung Hyeon-seong unknowingly kicked off his chair and stood up.
“Poem, I tried!!”
A whopping 10 in understanding and magical power!!
reached the highest number.
The video instantly played in my head.
The appearance of a wizard who shoots wide-area magic like a bombardment.
It fit perfectly with the mage ideal he was trying to play.
‘but… The problem is that even if the physical ability is low, it is too low… .’
It has 2 stamina and only 1 strength or agility.
This meant having an extreme body and a sickly body.
[Are you sure you want to confirm that ability?]
[Y/N]
[If you select Y, a trait appropriate to your ability level will be created.]
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Jeong Hyeon-seong, who was worried, finally accepted.
“I can’t help it.”
If you really want to, you can charge it, but there is no guarantee that you will get another 10 mana and understanding.
that is so rare
‘what. It’s okay if your physical abilities are a little lacking. After all, the goal is to develop this character into a great wizard who can hit a few big shots from behind.’
One shot, a moderate rest, and then another blow.
The appearance of such a great archmage was already imagined in front of his eyes.
[You will have a characteristic that matches your ability level.]
[The characteristics of the overspec are selected.]
[For balance, penalty traits are randomly assigned.]
Lost World was not supposed to make characters munchkins from the start.
Even if you were lucky enough to have good stats with the dice, a penalty was created to match it.
With a few lines of warning text, the properties window was decided.
-Name: Leo-
-Job: Wizard-
-Talent-
[Strength: 1/10] [Agility: 1/10] [Stamina: 2/10] [Comprehension: 10/10] [mana: 10/10]
-Special Ability-

-Possessed characteristics-
[Magic Genius] [Mana Sensitivity Best] [Mana Seeing Eye] [Spell Interpretation God] [Brain Rotation Best] [Absolute Memory] [Mana Holding Material Best] [Standard Will] [Random Penalty Attribute] [Random Penalty Attribute] [Random Penalty Attribute] …
At first glance, wizards had all kinds of characteristics that could be called the best.
In proportion to that, I received a penalty that I still don’t know what it was.
Start playing the game, and then you’ll know exactly what it is.
‘Whatever. This is enough.’
There will be no major obstacle to playing the wizard you wanted.

Jung Hyeon-seong finished the ability setting with a satisfied face.
And hit the character creation button.
– Anger.
At that moment, the monitor went black.
A question passed through Jung Hyun-sung’s mind.
‘Was the original starting scene like this?’
Originally, it seemed that old-fashioned music was playing along with bright lights.
‘I heard that there was a new patch a while ago, but it might have changed because of that.’
It’s been years since I’ve played this game.
Since I was a deaf person who listened to the sound of stagnant people, there was almost nothing I didn’t know about the setting in the game.
It was his mistake not to read the patch notes yet.
‘I’ll have to take a quick look around when the game starts.’
It won’t take long anyway.
While looking at the blackened monitor with such thoughts, I suddenly fell asleep.
‘I can’t… .’
It’s a while to endure the rushing tide.
With a thump, Jung Hyun-seong fell with his head on the desk in front of the monitor.
* * *
“father.”
“Ugh, ugh.”
“Blue is floating in the air. What is this?”
“That, well… . What is it?”
“Is there anything that even your father doesn’t know?”
“hahahaha. I don’t know everything in the world either.”
“okay. My servants say that my father is omniscient and omnipotent. Then they must have lied.”
“ah… that’s… .”
Biden broke out in a sweat.
Conversation between father and son.
At first glance, there was nothing unusual about it.
But the important thing was the age of the son who said that.
‘What kind of seven-year-old speaks like that?’
only seven years old
The word father came out of those chubby cheeks and chubby lips.
The son, who would not be strange even if he was in trouble, was looking at himself with eyes filled with vertigo.
‘Those above him have never been like that before.’
Biden rummaged through his memory.
I haven’t seen many children because I’m so busy with state affairs, but I gave birth to 7 children above him.
I thought I knew very well about the feelings of a child.
‘When Alice was that age, she cried and insisted on making a wind-up doll.’
What could I do in such a difficult situation… .
“hahahaha. it’s leo This father brought candy for our Leo. It’s a lightning bolt candy.”
Biden smiled and took a few candies from his pocket.
Kids at that age are simple, and they may cheer for a few candies.
Contrary to Biden’s expectations, however, Leo shook his chubby head.
“I am okay. Father, eat a lot.”
“… Is that so?”
“Yes. Or it would be nice to give it to the ladies-in-waiting who take care of me.”
“… … .”
How can a kid of that age care about a maid like that?
Certainly our youngest son was something different.
The seven-year-old youngest prince of the Roman Kingdom, Leo.
King Biden felt that talking to his youngest son was more tiring than arguing with his subjects.
