Chapter 13 – Little Trouble in Bahran (3)
Waking up in the morning, I found notification windows stuck close to each other.
‘…That was a tutorial?’
This is a tutorial where you die once if you do it twice. I sighed and read the other notifications.
“Main Quest?”
Belt ring.
To say the least, a blue window appeared.
====================================
〈 Main Quest〉
(Savior of the Continent)
Baal, the king of demons, one of the losers who ruled the continent 500 years ago, is about to revive.
Defeat the resurrected Baal and his minions!
Success condition
-The death of Baal
-Seris’ mind and body must be intact.
– The continent should be intact.
Success reward
-1 wish ticket
Failure penalty
-Doesn’t exist.
(However, in the case of an intentional failure, the soul of Yuseong Han disappears.)
====================================
“Baal?”
Continental losers.
King of demons.
It was a name with a grandiose modifier attached. I noticed at once that this baal was the final boss.
‘Well then. I can’t have this ability for nothing.’
Whether in a game or a novel, when the main character gains strength, there are bound to be hardships to go through.
To be honest, I expected that I would be able to have abilities without suffering, but… Nothing was free in this world.
‘But how can I get hold of that?’
How could I, living with the poor, deal with a guy like that? But I couldn’t do it. Because of the failure penalty.
As written, there was no penalty for simple failure. It is said that my soul will be extinguished only in the case of a deliberate failure.
But this is a play on words.
‘As long as I don’t give up on killing the demon king, if I fail, it’ll be at least halfway through. If I give up, it’s a deliberate failure.’
As long as you don’t search, it means to kill the demon king somehow.
I laughed out loud, but I was more motivated than I thought.
You expected this to happen?
Is it because the existence of Baal doesn’t come to my head?
There is such a thing. However, the answer is not. There was another reason why I was eager to make such a ridiculous request.
“Wish ticket…”
The reason is the right of wish written on the success reward.
Speaking of the right to wish, of course you are talking about granting a wish.
“Is it possible to bring the dead back to life..?”
Given the strange ability of the status window, and the person presumed to have brought me here, wouldn’t it be as easy as reviving the dead?
That uncertain hope fueled me. To the point where I even forgot how to resent the irrational life of the past two years.
There was no need to worry. I decided to make this main quest a success.
“Shop.”
Having made up my mind, I decided to find out that it was the store that appeared in the notification window first.
Ding.
A blue window appeared with a refreshing sound.
====================================
〈 Shop〉
-Weapon
– Armor
-Technology
-Stuff
====================================
There were four items organized in the shop window. I clicked on the weapon item first. The shop window was switched and various types of weapons were listed.
“Short sword 30 karma, long sword 50 karma…?”
What’s so expensive
Killing a goblin gives 2 to 1 karma. 30 karma is karma that can be obtained by killing at least 15 goblins.
The resin does not fit.
‘It would be better to pay for weapons if possible.’
Even so, I looked around all the weapons listed. It was because of the expectation that there would be a legendary weapon like a magic sword.
But there was no such thing, and I pressed back in disappointment. I looked around the armor section, but it was no different from the weapon section.
“… To catch the Demon King with something like this?”
A sigh came out.
If you’re going to order the demon lord to be captured, shouldn’t you give him at least one holy sword?
I pressed the skill item with much reduced expectations.
“The swordsmanship book for general soldiers in the Kingdom of Fromm, 150 karma. 150 karma from spearmanship for general soldiers in the Kingdom of Fromm…”
I knew it.
The already diminished expectations were shattered. I still had to look around, so I scrolled down.
“There are many things…”
The scroll bar was very small compared to the weapon and armor items. There’s even a separate search bar. It is incomparable to the previous ones.
“Then what do you do? It’s all pointless… Huh?”
Words caught my eye.
“Three good swordsman’s 150 karma?”
Samjae Sword is a third-class martial art from martial arts.
As it is a third-class martial art, it consists of only three types of cutting: horizontal cutting, vertical cutting, and stabbing, but it is simple and weak, so it is set that even the barbarians can be saved with money.
But why is the martial art from martial arts here?
Just in case, I searched the martial arts I knew in the search bar. Along with a small sound effect, the weapon I searched for and its price appeared.
“…Really there is.”
I clicked on that weapon. Then, a detailed description of the martial arts that was clicked was revealed.
[Heterogeneous Hwanwi (移形換位) 1000 Karma]
-Gyeongsinbeop that instantly changes the position by blowing the body. Its speed is so fast that the opponent can’t even comprehend its movements.
The exact beginning of the heterogeneity is not known. From the fact that it was made by a master of the Gyeongsinbeop who felt sorry for the death of Gungshin Tanyeong.
A woman who had devoted her whole life to spying on her woman,
From a race between a rabbit and a tortoise to a rumor that the immortal who gave the elixir to the tortoise secretly gave it to the other immortal, many unfounded rumors circulate.
However, one thing is certain: A soldier who has mastered the Lee Hyeong-hwanwi is a master who is said to be the best in the world.
(Caution, in order to learn Lee Hyung-Hwanwi, you need to have a deep understanding of foot and new methods. Please purchase after learning the foot and new methods of at least one of the nine schools.)
“Under…!”
The Lee Hyung-hwan I knew was right. I also searched for other martial arts I know.
“Cheongeunchu 550 karma, Manchuriau 2000 karma, Cheonma Singong… 7000 karma? Crazy.”
It was amazing and fun to see martial arts that I had only seen in novels at the store. I was also looking forward to the fact that I could learn them.
‘But if I can put these things in, I’ll put in a gun as well.’
I think a single shotgun would be enough.
Even though I was complaining a little, I was in a state of excitement. While looking around at other skills like that, I realized an important fact.
‘Oh, I was supposed to go to the adventurer’s guild with Kara this morning.’
I forgot about it because of the main quest and the shop. It’s already been a while since morning. I’ll be mad at you for being late
I tried to get up from the floor to get ready to go out. However, something caught in the hand on the floor.
“Scroll..?”
It was a scroll by my bedside. There was nothing like this last night. I opened the scroll, wanting something like this.
Inside the scroll, a palm-shaped picture was drawn, and no other letters were visible.
‘Are you saying to put your palm on me?’
At first glance, it was a picture with that intention. However, it was a suspicious item, so I couldn’t touch it carelessly.
“I would have woken up if I had left this next to me…”
I don’t sleep deeply It’s because someone might be aiming for my pocket or my life while I’m asleep.
If someone came next to me, I would definitely wake up. If it’s not, it means that it’s covert enough that I can’t feel it, or that the scroll was teleported to my bedside…
‘Teleportation..?’
I remembered something and immediately opened the quest window titled ‘Escape from the Village’. Next to the talent tester, which is the success reward, ‘Paid’ was displayed.
That means that this scroll is a testament to that talent.
I put my palm on the picture on the scroll. I didn’t have to hesitate because I knew the source.
When I touched it, the side of the scroll began to glow. After a few minutes, the light went out.
The light was gone, and the letters were written on the scroll.
I read the writing on the scroll.
====================================
Result of talent identification of Yuseong Han
Han Yuseong’s race is human. In addition, he was not born with an outstanding bloodline, and his physical abilities were mediocre.
However, they have better senses than other humans. In addition, he has a talent that can be said to be innate in sensing and moving qi.
It seems that he will stand out in magic as much as he has an excellent sense of humor, but in fact, his magic talent is not that great.
If you learn magic, your lack of magical talent will hold back your outstanding talent.
The only thing that can follow Han Yu-seong’s spirit is his excellent sense.
Therefore, thieves with hit-and-run combat styles are more suitable for Han Yoo-seong than magic.
====================================
“…Thief?”
Everything was good, but the last sentence made me frown.
You’re a thief
Isn’t that the word for shoplifters?
Of course, I’m a pickpocket or petty thief, but now I’m in a position to kill the demon king. But what a thief?
“I thought there was something bigger…”
The hit-and-run combat system itself is good. If you fall in well, there is no point in dying in vain.
But in terms of safety, the wizard is better. It’s because you can cast magic from a distance. Not to mention destructive power.
‘No. You said my talent was close to that of a thief, but I didn’t mean to conclude that I shouldn’t do anything else…’
“Ha…”
I already realized it, so I sighed.
I was prone to covert acts like pickpockets and surprise raids. This must be the thief-like talent the discriminator spoke of.
Leaving aside the question of whether the thief can capture the Demon Lord, it is true that this is the most efficient way for me.
I had no choice but to give up romance and romance. The most important thing to me right now is getting the right to wish.
Having decided on the direction of my growth, I quickly washed up and headed to the inn where Sister Celis was staying.
“Brother! You’re late!”
Kara was also angry.
