Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

What is the expected growth of the newly acquired class?

At least, Do-jin was convinced that it would be much higher than growing up as an ordinary wizard.

Such confidence soon served as a motivation for growth.

‘One month ahead. Raise level 50 or more unconditionally within a month.’

Since the day LOST opened, the top users who have leveled up by reducing food, sleep, and at least poop and urine are roughly in the low-to-mid 50s.

The ranking system has not been added yet, so it is not possible to accurately determine the number 1 ranking at this point, but since the highest level user exposed through broadcasting is only 56, level 50 was absolutely not easy.

However, Dojin really had the confidence to break through level 50 within a month.

‘I may not know in 15 years, but I can do it now.’

Even if in 15 years it will have to be shared with others or a jar of honey that has already been eaten, not now.

At this point, I was able to take all the jars of honey scattered here and there all by myself.

The hunting ground in front was not a rough terrain, but a honey road covered with honey.

‘From now on, I will do everything first in LOST.’

With his eyes shining, Dojin started preparing for a full-scale hunt.

* * *

Do-jin, who casually sold the sword he received from the gate instructor, prepared for hunting with all the money he had.

The place Dojin headed was ＜Wild Kobold Cave＞ in the north of Jeron.

There were many places where wild kobolds lived, but the kobold habitat north of Jeron was a bit special.

It was recently turned into a dungeon due to kobolds who had fortunately occupied the mana-rich cave, and it was a hunting ground with designated subjugation quests from the adventurer’s guild.

In this way, prey with designated subjugation quests could receive additional rewards in addition to the basic rewards.

[quest]

strangely many kobolds

Rating: Normal (Party)

[The kobolds, which were left undestroyed for the growth of novice adventurers, have recently strangely increased and created a dungeon.

The adventurer’s guild offered additional rewards for hunting kobolds, saying they wanted to keep the kobolds at an appropriate number.]

Objective: Kill as many kobolds as possible

Reward: Bonus XP and 1 gold per 10 kobolds

However, as written in the quest window, it is quite difficult for users of appropriate levels to require party play.

Even if not up to a 5-person party, at least a balanced 3-person party with one tank, one deal, and one heal was necessary to avoid deficit hunting.

However, Do-jin, who trudged toward the entrance of the cave, was alone as if it were natural.

‘Originally, it’s a normal place to be full of people from the entrance.’

Comparing the scenery 15 years from now and now, I passed through the entrance of the cave in peace.

“Kreung!”

The ferocious growls of the kobolds, who had invaded their livelihoods, approached Dojin.

Clap. The sound of feet that are smaller than humans kicking the floor busily is a bonus.

Three approaching kobolds.

It was a death sentence for a wizard who was alone and unarmed.

Hana Do-jin only had no weapons, but he was not unarmed.

‘It should be this distance.’

The moment when the recklessly running kobolds want to enter the proper distance.

Do-jin took out a small leather pouch from the inventory and at the same time threw it away with telekinesis.

Pooh.

“Khehehehe?”

The smell of oil spreads.

It was because what was in the leather pouch that had been released in the air was thick, black oil.

The oil was radiated toward the kobolds with the same momentum as it was flying.

The kobolds hesitated in embarrassment at a smell they had never smelled before.

That was their end.

Right.

As Do-jin snapped his fingers, the completed ignition technique ignited the embers.

Fire.

“Kyaagh!”

That was enough.

no need to do anything more

Flames spread along the oil and engulfed the three kobolds.

They rolled on the floor trying to put out the fire, but the fire on the sticky oil couldn’t be put out just that much.

The three living torches died with a gasping sound, as if their lungs had been cooked by the heat they drank.

“The effect is certain.”

The resources that went into killing the three kobolds were only a little bit of mana and an oil bag that went into minimally activating 「Pyrokinesis」 and 「Ignition」.

Comparing the total amount of mana consumed, it is less than 1/5 of the 1-star attack magic property arrow series, and the oil bag is more than 30 times more expensive than the mana potion of the same capacity.

In that respect, what Dojin did now could be said to be a terribly efficient murder.

‘It’s rare to be as weak as a wizard who only relies on miracles.’

The wizard class is a job with many disadvantages.

The mana that runs out after using a few bold magics, the murderous price of magic skill books and mana potions, and even the sluggish and soft body.

Due to these shortcomings, which became more prominent in the beginning, the perception that wizards were a uniquely weak job was embedded.

However, these disadvantages were disadvantages that could be overcome by abandoning the attitude of relying only on magic.

Rather, if you apply it well, you can fight much more efficiently than other jobs under certain conditions.

‘It is a privilege given to real wizards to rely only on miracles created purely by magic.’

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Muy Bondrey himself, who said this, said it with contempt, saying ‘you are not real wizards’, referring to those who have damaged the purity of magic, but he is not wrong.

Until he became a ‘real wizard’ who could put all conditions under his own magic, he had to use everything he could.

“Looks like the next guys are coming.”

The end of the contemplation was the scent of the beast.

A raw smell from a dog that hasn’t been washed for a long time.

sounds that follow.

It was like a cave overflowing with kobolds.

If you just wait at the entrance, they will keep pouring in.

However, Do-jin intended to go deeper here.

This is because the level of the monster increases as you go deeper.

Anyway, if you fight in a way that ignites oil, even those who live in the deepest place will be able to clean up easily.

There was no need to fight with the low-level guys at the entrance.

Even if it was only a difference of 1 or 2 levels, the gap in compensation widened considerably.

“Kuuuong!”

For a while, a similar crying sound that even felt a sense of deja vu rang out.

All that was left was the charred corpses and Do-jin’s bumbling steps.

* * *

Because the inventory was overfilled, the prepared oil overflowed.

It was only natural that the store owner bought it to the point of looking like a madman.

That much oil was reduced to much heavier kobold blood.

Do-jin, who killed and killed a lot and took experience points and loot instead of oil, continued to go into the depths.

Then, when I felt that the level of the monsters had risen enough, I found a suitable vacant lot to settle down.

A place with kobolds in the depths, about 3 levels higher than the entrance.

It’s time to settle down and hunt.

“Whoa, I’m going to turn around because of the smell of oil.”

Complaints that come out as soon as you clean up the vacant lot you finally found and sit down.

I’m sorry for the burned dead, but the smell of burning kobolds mixed with low-quality oil was violence in itself.

It stings not only the nose, but also the eyes.

Although the price of enduring the smell is so sweet, I have no choice but to endure it.

‘It’s definitely faster to hunt alone.’

About three hours had passed since I started hunting the kobolds.

During that time, Dojin reached level 11.

Level 10 was quick, but level 11 took nearly 2 hours.

Considering that ordinary people would consider it fortunate to raise even 1-2 levels a day from level 10, this was a tremendous growth.

It was because of the fact that he was able to take all the experience points that he had to share through party hunting, and that he was faster at catching Do-jin alone than hunting with a group of people.

‘At this rate, I’m only here today, and I can move to another place tomorrow.’

Satisfied with his smooth growth, Dojin opened his inventory and took out cheap manacho powder and paper.

Like oil, it was prepared for hunting.

Dojin rolled manacho powder with paper and made it into a tobacco shape.

Then he lit it with his fingertips and began to smoke it.

It was a courtship because there was no money to buy tobacco for wizards sold at magic shops.

“Whoa… … .”

The spreading smoke and incense neutralized the disgusting smell of oil.

Of course, I didn’t smoke tobacco to get rid of the smell.

Even if it looks like a weed, the grass that grows in a mana-rich place is one that contains mana.

When smoked in this way, it spreads throughout the body, stabilizing the magic circuit and enhancing mana recovery.

and another one.

“okay. The time has come to come soon.”

It is this manacho smoke that is great as a bait to attract things that are sensitive to smell and mana.

In the presence of familiar things, Do-jin secretly released an oil bag.

The next scene was the same.

The monsters, half human and half beast, simply attacked, and Do-jin burned them to death.

long time to do that.

The ones coming towards the clearing were cut off, as if all the ones around them were dead.

Because Do-jin gathered and slaughtered the kobolds so quickly, there was a temporary monster void around him.

‘I’ll definitely take a break during this time.’

As soon as he had time to rest, Dojin went to rest.

It was to evenly breathe and let the magic circuit rest as much as possible.

Tobacco was not burned.

It was because there was a risk of summoning monsters from afar without taking enough rest.

How many minutes did you rest?

When you feel drowsy from languid fatigue.

“There are few monsters here?”

“Isn’t it like a shelter? The roads are complicated and there are so many young kobolds, so there should be a place like this.”

“Hey, can’t we just go out to the entrance and hunt? It’s work to keep coming here.”

“There are a lot of people at the entrance. You can’t enjoy this kind of freedom in a place like that.”

The sound of chatter came.

Perhaps it was a party looking for a place to rest while hunting deep into the depths.

‘Nervous.’

Do-jin’s undeserved gaze, disturbed from his quiet rest, turned towards the sound.

“uh? Are you a person?”

The chubby tanker who entered the clearing first gave a dumbfounded noise.

yes, a person Are you seeing people for the first time?

Dojin, who almost laughed because he was dumbfounded, nodded his head.

Anyway, I have to say hello to the users who are struggling to level up in the same hunting ground.

Isn’t it between the Regenians who were called to this world to fight monsters together?

“What? Is there another party that came this far?”

While he was thinking foolish thoughts, a fool appeared behind Tongtong.

“No, are you alone?”

However, the atmosphere with these guys was a bit strange.

It’s also strange that TongTong doesn’t respond even after he sent a greeting.

Bisil’s attitude and eyes that appeared afterwards were also very strange.

Do-jin did not miss the slight anxiety in his voice when he asked if there was another party.

In addition.

‘Are you relieved as soon as you see that I’m alone?’

Now that I have confirmed that I am alone, I even glance over with a bit greedy eyes.

‘This is really… … .’

They look like a painting.

Dojin sighed inwardly.

It was because most of the guys with that attitude were idiots who enjoyed hunting people.

* * *

Like a group of bandits in rural China, ‘Ha ha ha! Wandering alone in a deserted place like this! Let’s take out his intestines and make maratang right now!’ Contrary to Do-jin’s expectation that he would rush at him, Bi-sil approached with a kind smile.

“Oops, did you stay alone away from the other party members?”

Where did the disquieting gaze at first go, and it was a face dripping with sadness.

‘I’d rather act from the beginning.’

Do-jin did not even think about the possibility that Bi-sil and the gang were good friends.

Do you believe in a guy whose expression changes so drastically in a second?

I’d rather believe the bullsh*t that politicians really care about the country and the people.

Do-jin’s usual theory was that if he suddenly gets stabbed after believing in a guy like that, the stabbed guy is worse than the stabbed guy.

‘Two warriors, one thief, and one healer.’

In addition, Do-jin, who defined a total of four idiots as potential enemies, including those who entered the vacant lot, looked at their party composition.

It wasn’t a well-balanced party because there were only three melee dealers, but poor numbers were a problem.

If it were just the two of us, we would have started thinking right away with the first attack.

If that’s the case, it’s more basic to look at the angle of escape than to fight with a low odds, but they didn’t seem to be fools either.

Later, I saw that two warriors who entered the clearing stood in the way of the retreat without being noticed.

‘If you want to act, do it right. I can’t be fooled even if I want to be fooled if I put so much effort into the hand holding the sword.’

Thinking that it would be impossible to avoid a fight, Do-jin prepared for a battle.

“If you don’t mind, would you like to come with us? In fact, our party also lost an marksman due to the lack of an archer. You seem to be a wizard, but you go with me.”

If you really lost your party members and were isolated alone, Vishil approached with a proposal that would be tempting enough.

One step, one step.

The slow approaching steps reveal an effort not to stimulate the opponent’s vigilance.

‘What are you doing if you only care about your feet? My hands look like that.’

However, the right shoulder and hand are stiff, so it shows.

It was an awkwardness that would not be discovered if you didn’t pay attention, but it was a mistake of a novice murderer that was clearly visible in Dojin’s eyes.

Dojin estimated the distance that Bisil would run at him.

‘Three steps.’

Three steps forward to Ganjap, where Bisil would commit the most ideal surprise attack.

If you give that ganhap, it will be difficult to respond to the surprise attack of Visil, a thief class with extremely high agility.

So, Do-jin decided to steal the timing of the enemy’s surprise attack.

“really? Wow, I’m really glad. I wondered if all the party members would die and only I would survive and die without being able to escape.”

The method was to play the innocently deceived scapegoat.

He let out a sigh of relief and lowered his head, rubbing his chest and showing the nape of his neck.

Can a fledgling murderer hold back three steps at the sight of a white, smooth nape like that of a buck?

No, a beginner like Bisil would never tolerate this opportunity.

fault.

Also.

With his head down, Dojin smiled deeply.

Poo-wook.

The sound of sharp blades piercing human flesh.

“Ugh!”

But from Visil’s mouth came out a breath that was suppressed by embarrassment, not by the joy of success.

It was because the dagger aimed at the nape of the neck was blocked by the prey’s left hand.

“Kuk!”

But Visil’s embarrassment did not end there.

Before he had time to recover his balance due to the deadly attack, Dojin’s right hand grabbed his collar and pulled him.

Bishil, who did not even consider a counterattack because he only thought from the predator’s point of view, was unable to respond properly and fell to the ground.

It happened in an instant, so even Visil’s colleagues couldn’t react.

pug.

uh? uh? While doing so, Visil hit her head hard on the floor and was subdued.

“Ugh… … !”

Vishil, who can’t get up right away and flirts around.

How much would a low-level thief take if he took his stamina?

Since a guy with no tolerance for status abnormalities had his head slammed on the floor, fainting was inevitable.

“This bastard-”

Vishil’s colleagues got angry when they took out their weapons, albeit belatedly, because they didn’t faint.

Gul-gul-gul-gul.

Dojin poured oil on the back of Visil’s head before they could do anything.

And even before the clichéd line comes out.

Right.
