[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]
– Successfully passed the second wave.
– Gives 50 points to everyone who participated in the wave.
Thanks to Seun’s appearance, the wave ended quickly.
The middle-aged man and those who put the weak forward were caught in the eye, but those who confirmed that the man was pushed by Sewoon and stepped on by wild boars immediately changed their stance.
A few people came over to say thank you, but Sewoon waved his hand. Because his actions weren’t for them in the first place.
-In the process of counting personal achievements… … .
[ 1st place: Jeong Sewoon 1,080 points ]
[ 2nd place: Kang Kang Cheol 180 points ]
[ 3rd place: Yoo Seo-ah 100 points ]
…
As a result of the tally of individual achievements, Sewoon took first place, of course.
There were points gained through this wave, but it was largely thanks to entering the wolf forest and hunting gray wolves.
In fact, more than half of the points you see now are points earned in the Wolf Forest.
– Predated the ‘Brown Boar’.
– By absorbing nutrients, strength increases by 1 and physical strength increases by 2.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ hurriedly bites off the meat, saying that he has been waiting for this moment.
Seun used the power of gluttony on most of the wild boars he faced.
There is only one wild boar carcass left.
The reason why Sewoon gave up even increasing his stats and left this one was simple.
‘I think wild boar meat is better than wolf meat.’
Right, meal.
Of course, you have to find food to eat during the tutorial.
He ate wolf meat before returning and realized how tasteless carnivores were, so he deliberately left the boar carcass behind.
Even a wild boar would certainly not hesitate to eat meat in the wild, but at least it would taste better than wolf meat.
spam.
Sewoon cut open the boar’s belly without hesitation.
I was worried about the rust on the sword, but I couldn’t be bothered by such things.
Blood and intestines poured out through the cracked belly skin.
I knew about the basic slaughter methods, but I had no intention of slaughter in earnest here.
It was enough for him to acquire only one meal to eat.
at that time.
“excuse me… … .”
I turned my head to someone’s voice.
There was a woman with brown hair neatly tied up, staring at Sewoon, hesitantly.
By quickly observing her appearance, Sewoon was able to infer her profession.
‘Are you a cook?’
Fingers full of small cuts and burns, and seemingly intact here and there.
Naturally, I could understand why she had come.
“Can I help you? I, I run a small restaurant, so I know how to handle meat to some extent!”
Seeing her raising her voice to the point of excessive courage, Sewoon smiled slightly.
Sewoon pushed a middle-aged man between wild boars and splattered blood while brandishing a knife without hesitation.
People were not quick to talk to Se-eun.
But to break through that fear and come to you first to find your own job. It was thought to be a very desirable action for Sewoon.
“of course.”
“Oh, thank you!”
I just got a job, what am I so grateful for? She lowered her head and accepted the sword from Seun.
Looking at the seriously rusted sword, he hesitated for a moment, but took a deep breath and immediately began to slaughter.
Seok, seokkeok.
Peel off the skin and remove the intestines.
Cut the edible parts into parts and clean them up, then insert the sword through the cracks in the bones to remove the meat.
It wasn’t a sword for butchering, and even a cook would have never butchered a wild boar that just died, but the meat was being slaughtered better than expected.
“I brought you some water, do you need it?”
“and! thank you! I thought I was dying of thirst!”
“There was a small stream on the side of the rocky mountain. I can give you more if you want.”
“Then please! I was a little uneasy about the state of the knife, so I wanted to wash the meat once.”
“yes!”
Did she get inspired by watching her performance?
Even the people who were squatting on the ground, not knowing what to do, began to move little by little.
They fetched water from streams, brought branches from the forest, and even prepared meals.
Even so, there were men who had time, and there were those who spread leaves to prepare for bed.
“It’s done! This should be enough for us to eat.”
“I’ve been gathering firewood. I also brought a flat stone that looks suitable for grilling meat, is that okay?”
“Sure! You suffered. however… … .”
The meat to be grilled, of course, was ready to be grilled, but there was one problem.
Right, fire.
“Does anyone have a lighter?”
“When I opened my eyes, everything was gone except for my clothes… … .”
“me too.”
When entering the tower, you cannot bring any belongings other than simple clothes. The reason is that some races can come in with artifacts or scrolls and break the fairness.
Unsurprisingly, no tools, including lighters, existed.
“Well, I think I saw a way to light a fire. Shall we try it?”
“I will light the fire.”
“yes? any way… … .”
Sewoon stepped forward.
No matter who did it, the firewood and stone plates were neatly arranged so that they could cook right away.
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[Kasha’s Ember]
– A low-class spirit of fire, Kassa’s unsight. Although it is weak, it is not easily extinguished because of the spirit’s power.
“Oh oh!”
Along with the feeling of intangible energy draining from his body, flames gushed out from Seun’s fingertips.
Since he had no mana yet, it seemed that his mental power was consumed instead of mana.
‘I have to accumulate mana quickly.’
At first, it was said that you could deal with most monsters just by moving your body, but later it was different.
No, there is nothing to say later. It was difficult to properly deal with monsters without mana, even if you went beyond the middle of the tutorial.
As soon as he had time to spare, Sewoon held out the flame to the firewood, thinking that he should learn mana.
Hwareuk!
Perhaps it was difficult to find dry firewood, but the condition of the firewood was not very good, but Kasha’s embers settled even on poor firewood without hesitation.
Indeed, the fire of the spirits.
Soon the firewood was covered with hot flames, accompanied by acrid smoke.
“How did you do it? It was like magic!”
“It’s magic… … . Similar.”
“yes?”
“Please open the status window again later. Maybe, because he has talent.”
“A status window?”
“More than that, everyone is only looking at meat.”
“ah! I’ll bake it right away! Everyone, please wait!”
Cheeik!
As the meat was placed on the stone slabs, a pleasant sound and the smell of grilling meat spread around the camp.
After the tutorial started, smiles were blooming on people’s faces for the first time.
* * *
rain-
Sewoon took a large bite of the meat he was holding.
Surprisingly, the juice burst out, and the lips were stained with oil.
I didn’t use any seasoning, but I didn’t feel any strange smell.
Sewoon involuntarily smiled as he recalled the terrible taste of the grilled wolf he ate for the first time before returning home.
‘As expected, it’s different because it’s made by someone who used to cook.’
The most popular was the pork belly grilled on a stone plate, but Sewoon took a seat in the corner with a well-grilled skewer.
Even though people’s vigilance has decreased a lot, there were still quite a few people who were afraid of Sewoon.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ is tasting the delicious smell.
‘I have to make a living too.’
To meet Beelzebub’s demands, you’d have to hunt monsters and cook all day long.
No matter how much it was a constellation, it was necessary to moderately ignore it.
Just as he was about to finish eating the meat, someone held out a cup of water made from folded leaves in front of Seun.
“drink.”
Yoo Seo Ah.
She was a woman called ‘Seonpung’ in the Tower before Seun returned.
Gulp, gulp.
After slightly nodding her head in gratitude, she drank the water contained in the leaves.
The thirst that has been accumulated without knowing or not is quenched and the body feels energized.
A brief silence followed.
It was Yoo Seo-ah who spoke first.
“Did you find that sword in the forest?”
“I was lucky.”
She looked at the sword lying beside Seun with envy.
‘Well, before skill or talent, Yoo Seo-ah said that she learned the sword from the beginning.’
Memories from before the return came to mind for a moment.
It seems that he is using a wooden stick instead of a sword, but it will be difficult to use his full power with that.
The reason why there were relatively few points compared to Kang Han-cheol was probably for that reason.
“Can you see the system message floating above?”
“yes. But I guess it gives me time to rest, so I have plenty of time until the next raid.”
“Other than that, public value below.”
“100 points… … . Why is this?”
“That should be enough to buy a sword. I’m not in good shape.”
“yes? how?”
“If you focus on the points, the store menu will come to mind.”
The achievement value obtained in the tutorial can be used in various ways.
There are various potions and basic equipment, as well as expensive but top-notch items that are hard to find even in the Tower.
Of course, in order to pass the tutorial at a higher rank, she had to save her public value as much as possible, but what she needed now was a weapon that she could use right away.
“Wow, that sounds like a game.”
“Not similar. As I said before, you’d better get used to the system quickly if you want to survive here.”
Perhaps she was concentrating, Seoah Yoo unknowingly narrowed her eyebrows.
He moved his fingers to choose an item, then nodded as if he had made a big decision.
Took.
“Wow!”
A sword appeared in front of Yoo Seo-ah.
short sword.
The length is not very long, and the blade is missing because of how old it is.
It wasn’t only rusted, but it seemed to be in a more serious condition than Seun’s ‘Sword of a Forgotten Hero’.
The lowest quality sword among the swords in the shop that can be purchased with points.
It’s a pity, but it’s probably the best among the swords that can be purchased for 100 points.
But even so, since it is a black sword, it will be much more helpful than wielding a wooden stick.
As evidence of that, Yoo Seo-ah held up the newly created sword and was admiring it with her mouth wide open.
“Great! How the hell did you find out about this?”
“I just quickly understood the situation.”
“I thought I adapted pretty quickly. I can’t follow Sewoon.”
“Did I tell you my name?”
“Somebody told me to get used to the system.”
Seoah Yoo pointed to the empty space where the system message floated.
Personal merit ranking.
Sewoon’s name was written openly in the first place, so if you paid attention, you couldn’t have known it.
“however… … Did you really have to do that?”
After a moment of excitement, she asked again with a drooping expression.
There was no object, but I could immediately understand what he was talking about.
He must be talking about a middle-aged man who used to put people up for a position on Earth.
“This is why I said that discussions were useless.”
“But maybe there is another way… … .”
“Then, if the people who were forced to stand before the man were injured, who would be responsible for them?”
Instead of answering, Yoo Seo-ah stabbed the floor with her shortsword.
She was quick to adapt, so even if she said something like that, she would already know it in her head.
How to adapt to this place. what is the most efficient way.
“Thank you for letting me know.”
“It was nothing.”
Yuseo-ah got up from her seat.
I couldn’t see his face, but I could feel a small determination in his voice, as if he had promised something inside.
“And, please take good care of me in the future.”
After the regression, the first night of the tutorial.
Sewoon leaned against a suitable wooden pole and fell into a nap.
