Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

A tutorial zone where users who have completed character creation gather.

There, a woman dressed in a navy uniform approached Dojin, who opened her eyes.

“Welcome to Rostania. This is a ‘gateway’ that helps warriors who have crossed the border quickly adapt to Rostania. Also, I am Rami, an instructor who will help you finish the tutorial smoothly and become a full-fledged adventurer.”

Rami, who bowed her head in a stiff and disciplined manner like a military officer, pointed to one side.

“I will cut it out and explain the training process. If you go there, you can get training weapons. Choose the weapon you want, receive it, and follow the instructions to the training ground. And defeating the three scarecrows for training there is the first training and ‘quest’ that the hero must perform.”

As soon as Rami finished talking, a quest window appeared to Dojin.

[quest]

Let’s knock down the scarecrow!

Rating: Tutorial

[The opponent of beginners was always a scarecrow. But I think it’s better not to be vigilant.]

Objective: Kill 3 Training Scarecrows at the Gate Training Grounds

Reward: Experience, 3 Beginner’s Healing Potions, Beginner’s Weapon

Rami, who saw that Dojin’s focus was fixed in the air, continued with the following words.

“The thing that pops up in front of me right now is the ‘Quest’. It’s a mission given to those who can hear the whispers of the world. If you solve it and contribute to the world, you will be rewarded appropriately.”

Do you have any other questions? To the ensuing question, Dojin answered briefly.

“No, that’s enough.”

Could there be any questions

The knowledge or information to be obtained here was useless to Do-jin.

All Do-jin is interested in is quickly executing the growth plan he had in his head.

To do that, I had to finish the tutorial quickly.

So, without delay, Dojin headed in the direction Rami pointed.

“We receive weapons in the order they came first! Don’t push the person in front! There, at the gates, if you cause a disturbance, you may be penalized! Choke each other!”

However, the place was already crowded with users who were going through the tutorial first.

Players cut each other in line or not, grabbing each other by the collar and fighting, and an NPC dressed like Rami is trying to control them with a tired face.

It made me wonder if it would be more orderly in front of the store with a banner saying 99% discount for 100 ○○ pads.

“I wasn’t like this when I was… … .”

Do-jin instinctively took a backward step in front of the chaos that made him dizzy just by looking at it.

Seeing how it turned, it seemed that if I jumped in there, I would have to wait at least 30 minutes before grabbing the handle of a training weapon.

‘What should I do?’

Do-jin, who wanted to finish the tutorial as soon as possible, was worried.

I wonder if there is any better way.

‘The order of the tutorial is obviously… … .’

Pick up the training weapon and defeat the scarecrow.

Return the weapon used for training to the instructor.

Receive quest reward.

After that, after hearing the explanation of this and that, I go to the instructor in charge of the forest of trials, the final test.

‘Isn’t the one I’m receiving now a weapon I’ll return anyway?’

In other words, training weapons are a means, not an end.

The goal was to defeat the scarecrow and complete the quest.

It was said that as long as he could deal with the scarecrow for training with his bare hands, there was no need to waste time and suffer in that mess.

Dojin, who came to a conclusion, changed the direction of his steps.

Towards the portal leading to the training ground where the scarecrow is.

at that time.

“I will cut it out and explain the training process. If you go to the soldiers you see over there, you will be given training weapons… … .”

Do-jin was caught in the eyes of Rami, who was repeating the same lines to other trainees.

her eyes widen

It had to be.

Wouldn’t you be surprised to see a madman walking, no, running, with his bare hands to the training ground where the scarecrow was installed?

‘Mi, crazy!’

Rami, a highly responsible instructor, reflexively ran and grabbed Dojin.

“What are you doing! Trying to enter the training ground without receiving training weapons! Even if it’s called a scarecrow, it’s a kind of golem that moves with magic!”

It was Rami who said it in a tone of scolding, but Do-jin had an expression that he was bothered.

“Do you really have to get a weapon to get in there?”

“Of course not!”

Rami shouted out loud as if she was dumbfounded.

“Then why did you hold on? I can’t go in anyway.”

“It’s not like that! ha… If you go in naked like this, you will be in big trouble. The scarecrows in the training ground are never easy opponents.”

“Anyway, you can go in. Then I’ll just go in. Instructor did the same. Try using multiple weapons as a reference when choosing a class.”

It was. Rami clearly said so.

But how does that relate to the act of entering there with bare hands?

However.

“I plan to become a martial artist or martial artist.”

Do-jin had to connect it.

“Mu, Mutuga… … ?”

“Yes.”

“What kind of small is that now! Here, even those who practice martial arts use weapons. Get in line and ask for knuckles!”

Rami stretched out her finger and pointed at Abi Gyu-hwan, from whom Do-jin escaped.

Dojin’s face showed how vigorously he stretched, and the wind blew.

That means she’s frustrated.

Unfortunately, however, whether or not Rami’s lifespan was shortened due to stuffiness, Dojin never intended to waste his precious time in that abusive relationship.

“Actually, I can’t hold a weapon in my hand. Because of my religious beliefs.”

“… … !”

Rami’s mouth opened in unimaginable absurdity.

“Could it be that Rostania is such a place that persecutes individual religious beliefs?”

Do-jin, who took advantage of Rami’s embarrassment and struck an additional hit, continued to speak while shaking his head.

“I know it can’t be. Enough then.”

Rami, whose brain stopped for a moment due to the sophistry, belatedly tried to catch Dojin, but slowly lowered her outstretched hand.

‘Maybe it would be better for that kind of person to suffer greatly once.’

If you have to have a bad experience, doing it here will help the author.

Rami thought.

If it’s broken in one or two places, drag it along and throw it into the training weapon supply area.

* * *

The inside of the training ground was also crowded.

A large number of users are scattered here and there, each wielding a weapon of their choice.

The opponent is a moving scarecrow.

“Huh!”

A man wielding a sword in poor posture.

Losing his balance, he is struck by the scarecrow’s shield and passes out.

“Kyaagh!”

A woman who wields a double-edged ax unsuitable for her small stature loses her balance and collapses.

The scarecrow mercilessly struck the woman in the back of the head with a wooden sword.

The woman slowly dissipated into the light and left the training ground.

“Ouch! What kind of scarecrow is this! Gagging!”

Scarecrows armed with wooden swords and shields were knocking fresh newbies who visited the training ground mercilessly.

Dojin looked at the scene with satisfaction.

‘Since it’s a newbie entry, the scarecrow is a bit hard. Did I also try again three times at first?’

As you can see, the scarecrows in the tutorial training ground were not just scarecrows.

All of these things can be said to be wooden golems, with only the name scarecrows.

It has the same strength and agility as a 1st level player, but handles a sword and shield better.

Being a golem by default, being strong was a bonus.

It is said that it is absolutely not a good opponent for those who are used to compensation and caked virtual reality games where damage can be inflicted on their own even with a rough swing of a knife.

However, that is a story based on the standard of ‘Newbie’ who is the first LOST.

‘No matter how much I was a wizard, it’s not the time to be beaten by these guys.’

In his previous life, Dojin was a wizard.

It is also a deformed magician who has been forcibly all-in due to his offensive and destructive power.

Thanks to that, I had to live with all kinds of penalties, and even got the nickname of glass cannon.

However, even under such worst conditions, Dojin was quite a popular user.

In PVE as well as in PVP.

One of the reasons why it could be.

‘Because I was the sharpest among the magicians.’

It was a close combat ability that was raised without the help of taijutsu-related skills.

In a word, he overcame his weakness not with the game system, but with his individual physical and control.

Dojin caught his breath and approached the scarecrow closest to him.

Then he raised his wooden sword and shield with his eyes glowing red.

A wooden sword glistened with the blood of a fan user that the scarecrow hit last.

It’s a brutal look just by looking at it.

“What is that person? Aren’t you crazy?”

“Why aren’t you carrying a weapon?”

“Are you crazy?”

Seeing the nearby players approaching the scarecrow with their bare hands, they whispered.

But it’s nothing to worry about.

It doesn’t matter if those guys laugh at me or not, or if they send me expectant eyes that I want to be beaten up.

What was important to Do-jin now was not those who were stumped by the scarecrow for training, but the quest monsters in front of him.

gigg.

As the distance between them narrowed to a certain distance, the scarecrow’s joints made an unpleasant sound.

The direction is right arm and knee.

Dojin reacted right away.

“Suck!”

Turn around to dodge the scarecrow’s honest attack.

At the same time, the gap narrowed even more.

The scarecrow’s counterattack in response was an attack using a shield.

As if Dojin had waited, he grabbed the shield that was about to push him away and pulled it out.

Then, the scarecrow, who had been exerting all his strength to strike the shield, fell forward without being able to overcome his own strength.

Quadang. Do-jin climbed onto the fallen scarecrow with a loud sound.

squeak- squeak- squeak-

The Scarecrow tried to escape somehow, but the limits of the cheap wooden golem’s range of motion were clear.

The merciless beating that followed.

Do-jin skillfully controlled the scarecrow’s outbursts and launched a one-sided attack.

However, it lacks attack power, perhaps because it is not equipped with a weapon.

There was no problem either. You can make up for the lack of attack power by using the surrounding environment.

bang! bang! bang!

Do-jin grabbed the scarecrow’s head with both hands and stamped it on the floor continuously.

Riding a certain rhythm, the wooden doll’s face collided with the floor.

squeak- squeak-

The scarecrow’s limbs convulsed, and a sound that shouldn’t be heard came from inside.

bang! bang! bang!

The red eyes faded every time he came up from the floor once.

shiver.

An unknown dark liquid flowed from his eyes.

The people around him who had been watching the scene from the beginning shared the same idea.

‘He’s a crazy guy.’

‘I shouldn’t make eye contact.’

‘I bet you didn’t hear what I said earlier… … ?’

In their heads, the ridicule of Dojin had already been completely erased.
