NOVEL NEXT chapter 54
54. Morale Totem
{System: Saint’s blessing is applied to the Lucilos server.}
{System: All acquired EXP increases.}
I couldn’t help but be taken aback by the message that my experience points increased.
No, what the hell is this?
Isn’t it usually possible to increase the experience gained through events or operator privileges?
You gave me, a mere user, such tremendous authority as a skill? Does this make sense?
「The saint’s blessing… Acquired EXP increase?!
No, what the hell is this?!」
At that time, BJ Shusia also seemed to have confirmed the game message.
Then, in a very frightened voice, he continued to speak.
「The EXP increase is… Oh, fortunately it’s not that high.
… No. Is this really crazy?
Guys, do you see the buff activated here? Look behind this Lv. 1 Is marked.
This skill can be leveled up, and as the skill level goes up, isn’t the number also increased?」
Huh, really?
After hearing her explanation, I moved the mouse pointer to the skill shortcut window with a hopeless heart.
Then, I placed the mouse pointer on the ‘Saint’s Blessing’ skill icon on the shortcut window.
After a while, a small pop-up window appeared,
There was a description of the skill ‘Blessing of the Saint’.
In the skill description, there were some strange settings written about giving blessings to fight against evil.
And in the skill effect, it was written that the amount of experience gained by all warriors increased by 2% during the descent of the saint.
2%… It’s very subtle.
The production team still has reason.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like a huge number that would destroy the balance.
And as she said, the skill level was written as 1, but there was no information about skill level up, so I couldn’t confirm it.
Can you check it in the skill window?
If you go through the tutorial, you will find out.
After confirming my skills, I looked at the character again.
Above the character, there was a message asking you to move according to the arrow.
It was a typical tutorial message.
Following the arrow, we arrived at a place where Western-style tombs were gathered.
Arriving at the place where the tombs were gathered, an event cutscene started to appear.
A monster presumed to be a zombie appeared in the tomb, and my character was spitting out a very obvious line after seeing it.
They were lamenting that darkness had descended to such a sacred place, and they were saying that they would rest again with the words of apology.
Wow, such a classic cutscene.
Putting aside the common cutscenes, even the lines were too common.
Maybe it was because the steam was leaking, I didn’t even have the energy to tackle it.
This time, a message came to mind telling me to use skill number 2 along with a normal attack.
Skill number 2 was an offensive skill called ‘Light of Purification’, but fortunately it was an acceptable skill.
Although the effect was very flashy.
Unlike the first time I used the EXP increase buff skill, it was a very smooth process.
I felt like I was able to enjoy the game normally, so I was enjoying the game before I knew it.
After arranging all the monsters,
The cutscene was playing again.
Suddenly, a black whirlpool appeared in front of my character, and a female character with black wings was walking out of it.
Looks like a Fallen Angel concept character…
The character is very pretty.
Once passed.
The Fallen Angel who came out of the vortex looked very moved and said.
[??? : At las… Found… ! Saint!]
[Kretos: Why is the fallen one here?!]
The fallen angel who appeared so suddenly and my character were exchanging conversations while confronting each other.
Roughly speaking, the Fallen Angel was tempting me to go with him, and my character refused.
When my character stubbornly refused, the Fallen Angel didn’t want to be so harsh, but he left a message that he couldn’t help it.
Then the cutscene stopped, and a system message suddenly appeared.
{!Warning!}
{The video played after this message is accompanied by violent scenes.
If you do not want to watch this video, please skip it by pressing the ESC key.}
{!Caution!}
{This game was created under review and faithfully in accordance with the Male Protection Act.
The production team respects men――}
… ….
I was immersed in it…
The atmosphere suddenly breaks.
Even if it is a character in the game,
Men are men, isn’t it?
Even this warning message pops up.
What a wonderful world.
Besides, how much violence is accompanied by a warning?
Since the system message broke my immersion, I would have pressed the skip button normally, but I started to wonder how the next scene would turn out.
So I pressed the OK button in the system window and played the cutscene again.
Coming back to the cutscene,
Fallen angel said sorry and used magic on my character, and my character defended against the magic and was pushed back.
My character let out a short moan, and the fallen angel left a message telling me to stop resisting.
Then the cutscene ended.
… ….
Could this be the end?
Is being pushed back really the end?
Is this massive violence?
Wow…
You just put in a scene that was pushed back, but did you put in such a bloody warning?
It really sucks.
When the cutscene ended and I returned to gameplay, a message popped up saying that a new skill had been activated.
Somehow, as the story progressed, I thought that at least a powerful attack skill was given.
However, contrary to my expectations,
My new skill is…
{Skill: Saint’s Call}
{Summons a warrior chosen by the saint.}
{Use this skill to summon a user.}
{If you use this skill, the character name input window will appear. If you enter the character name of the user to be summoned, the user will be summoned.}
{System: Only one user can be summoned during this tutorial phase.}
… Oh my god.
A user summon skill?
I don’t know the real English.
Why do you have this skill?
When I was thinking about figuring out what the production team intended,
Another guide message came to mind.
There was a message saying that the tutorial could be skipped, but I didn’t skip it this time either.
It was because I was very curious about what kind of scene would come out.
Above all, there was a suitable target to use the skill.
I pressed alt-tab to bring down the game window.
The Internet window, that is, BJ Shusia’s broadcast, was reopened.
When I came back to the broadcast like that,
Shusia was still talking about the buff skill I used.
「There is no one who has reached max level, that is, the end content, so it feels overbalanced.」
[Yes Yes]
[Really? It won’t matter if everyone is leveled up]
「That’s right. If you enter the equipment farming stage, which is the end content, it is a buff that has no problem with the balance.”
[But the problem is that I haven’t even reached max level, let alone end content]
[Besides, if the skill level goes up, isn’t it an OP skill?]
「At this point when I haven’t reached max level, the overbalance is correct. I think this is a problem too, but this is temporary.
And about the skill level, I can’t say anything because I don’t have any information.”
[Honestly, I’m arguing with other server users because I’m hungry right now]
[ㅋㅋ Who wants to do another sub?]
[Who wants to raise them in another sub? Lol]
I quietly left a message for Shusia, who was having such a heated discussion with viewers.
【Are you busy right now?】
「Oh! Male?! No! I’m not busy!
What are you doing?」
【I’m in the middle of the tutorial right now】
「Ah~ You were in the middle of a tutorial.」
【Yeah hahahaha but now in the tutorial】
【Special event? The same thing floats]
「Event? During the tutorial?」
【Yes, by the way】
【Could you name the game character】
【Can you tell me?】
Since you had to enter a character name to use a skill, I asked for her character name.
At my question, she opened her eyes wide and said with admiration.
「――!! Really?! That’s an honor! I’ll tell you right away!」
[Wow……]
[I really hate it]
[Why you only why you why you only why you―]
[Male, this is a level 70 Berserker. My ID is-]
[You’re level 55, don’t you need a healer? I am-]
[The opponent is a saint, but what about the healer?]
[Healer is out if you don’t want to become a lowly citizen]
「Look at these people. From now on, all people using their IDs will be kicked out.”
She left a stern warning to the viewers and gave me the name of the character.
「My character’s name is Shucia!」
【Thank you for letting me know】
She was delighted and gave me the name of the character, and soon asked me with a curious expression.
「Hey, but why is the character name… 」
【You’ll find out soon】
「… Yes?”
Actually, I don’t know either.
Except for being summoned.
I left a message like that and returned to the game.
Then, he used the ‘Call of the Saint’ skill.
When I used the skill, a small notification window with an input box popped up with a message asking me to enter a name.
I wrote Schusia in the input field and clicked the OK button.
Then a noisy voice was heard.
「…… Uh? Wait a minute what
The call of the saint has been activated…
If you press the OK button, you will move to the vicinity of the saint…
User summon skill?!
What the hell. What’s happening?”
She was speaking in a very surprised voice.
Yeah, what the hell is going to happen.
After hearing her startled voice,
A pillar of light began to rise from the ground in front of my character.
The light slowly faded,
When the pillar of light completely disappeared, a female character was standing there.
Above the head of the female character, the character name Shucia was written.
「Crazy, what is this?!
Why is the final boss of the current season in front of me?!」
Ah, yes.
That Fallen Angel character was the final boss.
Somehow it seemed like that.
The Fallen Angel character was astonished at how such power still remained.
In front of such a fallen angel, the Shusia character took a combat stance and began confrontation.
And my character was leaving a cheesy line, when I heard Shusia’s voice.
「… Wait for a sec.
…… Omg. Stand, please… This is a male character?!”
She was shouting in a frightened voice.
「Roble guys really did it!
Didn’t you really embody a male character?!」
Was that the part that surprised you?
No way…
Did you even block the creation of male characters even if it was a game?
Wow, if that’s true, that’s awful.
If I replace that with the standard of my previous life,
Isn’t it the same as saying that you can only make male characters and not female ones?
Wow, that’s terrible.
Leaving those terrible imaginations behind,
First of all, I proceeded to the next tutorial.
In this tutorial as well, a new skill appeared in the shortcut window, and a message to use that skill came to mind.
This time, I didn’t look at the skill description separately.
It was because I felt like a nuisance if I was wasting time because there were people I was playing with.
And it was because I wanted to finish the tutorials quickly.
Let’s press the newly learned skill,
My character suddenly got down on one knee and started praying.
And the aura spread based on my character, and the so-called floor skill unfolded.
However, the flooring did not disappear and remained under my character’s feet.
「Huh? A buff came in?
What kind of buff… 」
Was this an aura-type buff skill?
It must have been a skill that maintains buffs on nearby party members or players.
And soon, Shusia’s voice sounded like she couldn’t believe it.
「Attack power increase, defense power increase, HP increase,
MP or energy and rage increase, property power increase,
Increases resistance, increases evasion, increases attack speed,
Reduced skill cooldown, reduced damage received… 」
In her voice as she continued to list and explain the buffs she received,
In the end, I had no choice but to leave a comment.
“This is a f*cking character.”
No,
This is a walking b*tch totem.
