Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

Dojin, who accessed LOST after taking a break, sang Anemone first.

“anemone.”

Anemone, who was sleeping inside Dojin, woke up as soon as she heard the newly acquired name.

【yes!】

A silver wolf was summoned with a flash of light just by extending his right hand and having the will to summon him.

As soon as he was summoned, Anemone approached Dojin and asked with slightly worried eyes.

【it’s okay? It’s hard when I’m outside.]

A question he asks because he feels the mana of Do-jin, the contractor and summoner, flowing into him.

“don’t worry. The mana it takes to summon you is not a big deal. Don’t you feel it too?”

Due to the 「Mana Delay Body」 attribute obtained from the Tower of Challenge, Dojin’s abilities related to mana, such as total amount, speed, efficiency, strength, and stability, rose sharply.

Summoning a spirit the size of an anemone might be a burden to other wizards, but it wasn’t too much of a burden to Dojin.

Even so, the anemone wrinkled her nose as if she didn’t like the slight burden.

To reassure Dojin Anemone, I brushed her mane.

Her tail wagging in a steady rhythm signals that she is feeling better.

Her hand was stroking the nape of the anemone, but her eyes were checking the status window in front of her.

This was the first time Dojin looked at the anemone’s status window.

After finishing the hidden quest, I was too tired to do it.

Anemone’s status window was very simple.

A perfectly balanced spirit whose spirit power values are applied to each ability in a 1:1 ratio.

Shortly after he was born, he had no skills to deal with his own power, but he had innate characteristics.

「Strong attack」

「Increase resistance」

Just like simple stats, the name of a simple talent.

「Strong Attack」 is literally a property that multiplies attack power by 1.5 times, and 「Increased Resistance」 was a property that increased water, magic, property, and status ailment resistance in proportion to the level of spirit power.

In short, Anemone meant that she did not know how to use special abilities, but was a spirit specialized in physical strength and tanking.

Dojin, who confirmed this, was very satisfied.

‘For me, this way is much more helpful.’

Do-jin is a wizard.

Even if he was strong and nimble for a wizard, in the end, the relatively weakest part was physical strength and defense.

To such Do-jin, Anemone with physical attack and tanking ability could be said to be the best sidekick.

【jin?】

Anemone tilts her head and calls, as if Dojin looking into the air was strange.

After removing the status window, Dojin said to the anemone.

“Anemone, do you want to go play?”

【Going out to play?】

Whether excited or surprised, the anemone reacted violently.

Dojin nodded and thought.

‘Once you’ve figured it out with numbers and letters, the next step is to actually check it out.’

On this day, Dojin toured five hunting grounds with the excited anemone.

The result of going around the hunting grounds and throwing themselves into various situations and fighting.

‘It’s a scam.’

Dojin was sure he had obtained another cheat key.

* * *

Do-jin took enough time to embody the newly acquired power.

Last time, the abilities I originally had were upgraded, so there was nothing to do but adapt, but this time the resolution was different.

Do-jin needed enough time to get used to each other as he had to match his breath with Anemone, not the power he wielded alone.

Dojin and Anemone had a lot of conversations while going around various hunting grounds and working together.

Do-jin got to know Anemone, and Anemone got to know Do-jin more.

That time has passed.

A week passes, ten days pass, and the fifteenth day.

“uh?”

In reality, Dojin stiffened as he was drinking water.

“Dojin said your new video will be finished in about a week. They told me to look forward to it because the results will be amazing. But the status of the people on the content team… I guess it’s true that the whole team over there is working from home even overtime.”

Drink this, not water. Do-jin was taken aback when Cheon Ji-hyeon said casually as he handed out green juice that looked really tasteless from where he got it.

“What video are you talking about?”

“it. The video I took while doing the hidden quest this time. I haven’t seen it yet because it’s too long, but the team leader seems to really like it.”

It is natural that the video is long.

Playtime is the length of a video, but Dojin played there all week.

No, this isn’t important. I’ve never sent a video before?

Receiving the green juice from Cheon Ji-hyeon with his body, Do-jin asked with embarrassment.

“Why are they made? I never sent a video before?”

Then Cheon Ji-hyeon asked with her eyes what she was talking about.

“I asked you last time. Can I handle this video for you like the last time? Then you said so, did you do it like last time?”

“Yes… me?”

“I also talked to you in the middle. Did you answer without listening then?”

“… … .”

Even after finishing the hidden quest, Dojin lived a busy life.

The time to come out of the capsule was not long, and I returned to the capsule as soon as I finished essential tasks such as eating and sleeping.

At that time, Cheon Ji-hyeon said something, but each time, I simply replied, “My sister will take care of it,” and jumped into virtual reality.

Do-jin, whose memories passed through his mind like a panorama, kept his mouth shut.

Cheon Ji-hyun narrowed her eyes and looked at Do-jin.

“You didn’t even listen to what I said, did you?”

“… I heard I just forgot.”

Do-jin smokes while drinking green juice.

The green juice seemed more bitter today.

Feeling the bitter taste, Dojin cast her gaze into the distance.

‘I planned to hide the anemone for a while, but can’t I help it if this happens… … .’

No, how can I ask for only the last part to be corrected? I don’t think it’s finished yet anyway, but that much is possible.

Cheon Ji-hyeon questioned Do-jin, who was thinking about this, again with eyes still narrowing.

“Tell me honestly. I don’t remember much of what I said.”

“sorry… … .”

Cheon Ji-hyeon let out a small sigh as if he knew that would happen.

Seeing her like that, Do-jin erased the idea of editing the video.

It is Do-jin who saw traces of Cheon Ji-hyeon taking care of himself every time he logged out of the game.

During the day, Cheon Ji-hyun herself prepared for it, and when she got off work, the meal prepared for her to eat was waiting for Do-jin.

Cheon Ji-hyeon was like a family member who constantly gave Do-jin the realization that he was not alone in reality.

‘Well, I must have been harsh.’

Cheon Ji-hyeon would be very sad because he overheard the words he was crazy about the game and threw them away.

No matter how much I was preoccupied with getting used to the newly acquired power, the worst was the worst.

However, Cheon Ji-hyeon did not even care about that part.

“For some reason, I was told that I ate roughly and hurriedly went to capsules like a person who was distracted. Listen properly now. There is a project the company is planning in relation to this video.”

“project?”

What’s so grand? Isn’t it enough to just edit the video and upload it to the channel like before?

Do-jin, who listened to Cheon Ji-hyeon with the thought of saying,

“Cool, cool!”

The green juice I was drinking was regurgitating.

It’s fortunate that I only managed to avoid blowing it forward thanks to desperately suppressing my cough.

But that didn’t calm my shocked heart.

“… Sister, what did you say just now?”

“The head of the content team grinded his teeth saying he would pull out a video at the level of a drama this time, and he decided to upload it as a 12-part series.”

this is amazing too Upload a 12-episode video on YouTube. However, the point that surprised Dojin was not here.

“No, after that.”

“Production of goods is unconditional during the video upload period, and it is confirmed that the production of goods is done in a collaboration format with Rael Fashion. A transaction that will determine the size of the project while proceeding with additional business depending on the response later. I told you all about this.”

I told you to listen and do it. You don’t seem to remember

Dojin was at a loss for words.

To play games without knowing anything while things were growing on this scale.

‘… It’s still the case that you can’t see your surroundings if you turn your eyes to one thing.’

Although many aspects have changed, there are some things that have not changed since humans themselves have not changed.

The side effects of not being able to take care of other things caused by extraordinary concentration were the same as they were then and now.

Dojin said with a bitter smile.

“But aren’t you doing too much work?”

“How popular are you? You may not feel it because you are only playing games, but it is different for a company that draws and checks statistics every time.”

Do-jin felt embarrassed and ashamed for nothing when he said something about popularity.

Cheon Ji-hyeon said to him.

“After hearing my words with one ear and seeing the karma I shed, accept them meekly. If you tackled me here, I would be this.”

Watching Cheon Ji-hyeon pretending to hit his neck with the blade of his hand, Do-jin put everything down.

Let’s just go back to virtual reality.

I should go and have a picnic with Anemone.

Of course, the picnic area is a hunting ground.
