[ Welcome. Temporary user Siwoo Kim ]

“Fuck… My neck?”

Along with the memory of being decapitated, a strange status window floated in front of me.

[Name Kim Si-woo Mosol-ada, the lowest ranked student at the Tracker Academy]

[Died from Gate Mixing at 16:20 on May 23, 20 XX]

[That’s your destiny. ]

“But how are you still alive?”

[ You are going through a tutorial. ]

‘What are you saying to me?’

===============

Tutorial: Survive and Escape

You are doomed to die here.
Change your fate and prove your worth

– Reward: Destiny Points and Unlock Features

===============

‘Escape here? How?’

[ We cannot provide direct assistance during the tutorial. ]

“Destiny Point? Where do you write it?”

[ Fate Points can be acquired by twisting or changing your fate. ]
[You can do a lot. Various powers can be obtained, reality modified, or traded for items. ]

“Ability? Item?”

Is there any way to get it right now?

[I can’t tell you. ]

“Hey, Chinta, you keep muttering something to yourself in the corner.”

“Sorry Minji, I’ll be quiet.”

As if the situation from earlier was a dream, the usual Kang Min-ji was welcoming him.

In the meantime, I’ve been by Kang Min-ji’s partner for a long time, but in fact, Min-ji doesn’t say a word to other men except me.

Although it is a bit harsh, I am not the type to treat it harshly.

‘I’m dying?’

[You are already dead. ]

‘Isn’t that just a dream?’

[ …That’s right. ]

‘Is it true that I woke up?’

Do I have to fight that monster again?

I felt a tingling sensation at the nape of her neck, probably because I remembered the cut off her throat earlier.

‘If it’s a tutorial, can I repeat this over and over again?’

[ Yes. You can repeat it over and over again, and if you give up, we’ll end it there. ]

‘…’

In order to survive here, it was necessary to smash the skull gourd we met earlier.

With a bug-like body that can’t even use magic properly, you have to defeat the Skeleton Knights, who are called low-level hunter slayers.

‘Can I win?’

As I turned my head, Minji caught my eye. I felt guilty when I remembered how he tried to protect me even in extreme circumstances.

I was too weak to be of any help.

‘Fuck.. I can do it.’

It was because of his strong mental strength that he was able to endure until now despite being ignored by everyone else.

If there is a chance to try even if I continue to die, I will not give up here and try.

“Whoa.. Do you want anything more than fucking death?”

“Hey! What are you muttering to yourself?”

“I’ll protect you this time.”

“What… What are you saying, steamed bastard..”

Round 2

He died without even using his hands. He didn’t die fighting the Skeleton Knight, he just died from being hit by a regular skull.

It reminds me of how Minji tried to protect her, so I feel sorry for her.

“Whoa..”

He raised the sword in the corner. I still felt a strong sense of awkwardness.

Although she had tried using a sword during her training, it was still different in real combat.

If she made a slight mistake, it would be a fatal wound, and if she made just one mistake, there would be no more chances.

The second death, maybe anyone has experienced death twice?

My hands were already shaking, perhaps because of the fear and trauma, but I felt very pitiful, perhaps because of Min-ji, who I could see when I turned my head.

Unlike Minji, who tries to protect me even in extreme situations, are you giving up after failing only twice?

‘It can’t be. If that’s the case, I’ve given up long ago.’

Even if I was ignored by others, even if I was told to give up, I endured until now.

‘He only died twice. Can do.’

I grabbed my sword again. I’m weaker than him

If I compare my physical abilities to him, it’s about the difference between a child and an adult. But I have the ability to try countless times.

‘Save point…’

If you fail this time, you just have to try again a third time.

“I can fucking do it.”

Skeletons came into view beyond the shattered protective shield. Although they are called low-class monsters, they were difficult to deal with because there were many of them.

“Can do!!”

“Quiet! Fool!”

“Yeah.. I’m sorry, Minji.”

Round 3.

Admit it. My swordsmanship was useless to the level of nuclear waste.

I thought I had been training hard, but I really couldn’t do anything and I was helpless.

“Fuck..”

Failed only 3 times. It’s nothing to fail three times, but if it’s death, words change.

I kept thinking of the last look before I died. An arm is blown off, a leg is cut off, and the pain keeps coming to mind.

What bothers me more than that is that I have no choice but to keep watching Minji die while protecting me.

Every time I saw Minji resting against the wall with a gloomy expression, emotions that couldn’t be explained in words arose.

I want to protect Minji no matter what.

I really want to save Minji here and send her out.

It might be possible if it was a knight in another wonderful story, but I was a bug that I couldn’t even wake up.

“Yes.. If you give up just because you died 3 times in a game, you’re an idiot with no guts.”

Grab the sword that was stuck in the corner and swing it into the air.

Movement is still awkward. In comparison, the Skeleton Knight’s swordsmanship was close to perfect.

“Perfect…?”

Round 10.

He was swinging his sword with his eyes closed.

Compared to before, you can wield it in a more stable position. The sword moved quickly, making a sound cutting through the wind.

I recalled the movement of the Skeleton Knight’s wrist. I constantly recall how I held the sword and how I swung it.

‘It’s still not enough.’

It wasn’t enough to beat him with this, but this time, he was able to break the bones of ordinary skull knights.

Physical ability did not increase no matter how many times it was repeated.

Then the only way for me to become stronger was to hone my skills.

In that sense, the Skull Knight was the worst enemy and the best teacher.

As he wielded his sword the way he wielded it, his swordsmanship became sharper and more powerful.

When I opened my eyes, Minji was staring at me as if I was about to fly.

“…”

“Why? What’s strange?”

“Nothing..”

At first, Minji, who showed a cynical reaction after seeing her wielding a sword, gradually began to change.

From Minji’s point of view, it seems that my swordsmanship skills are getting better.

“It’s Minji.”

“Why are you calling me.

“Let’s get out alive.”

“…What are you talking about, you idiot..”

Round 50.

The magic stone that created the shield turned off, and the skeletons finally began to come inside.

“Hey, hide well behind me.”

Minji muttered while wearing combat gloves.

“I can fight too.”

“Do you think hunting is a joke? If you haven’t awakened, stay behind!”

Small skeletons began to rush in front of the giant Skeleton Knight, which emitted an unusual light, like a wave.

“I did wake up.”

“Awakened? Uh… When did you do it?”

“Just now.”

With a clattering sound, the skeletons started approaching Minji and me.

I ran out first and hit the skeleton soldier’s head with my sword.

Although weak, the skeleton’s head was shattered as it was by an attack that gathered a small amount of mana into one point.

“I don’t have enough magic attribute! So, please give me some small puppies!”

“Hey! Loser! No Kim Siwoo!! What are you doing dangerously!!”

I ran towards the Skeleton Knight who was glaring at me with an arrogant expression from behind.

Although he had awakened while acquiring the Makina system, his current physical abilities were mana, stamina, and strength, and he was in a state where there was nothing useful.

In order to survive here, you must use your limited power efficiently.

“You fucking bastard!!!”

I ran towards the Skeleton Knight hiding behind the Skeleton Soldiers. Accurately destroy the skulls of the skeletons charging from the right.

Next, you need to duck to avoid the attack of the skeleton from the left.

Run without a break to avoid the skeleton soldier passing by.

After this, the attack comes from the back, so you have to roll to the front. If you squeeze your body into the gap on the lower left here, you can somehow reach the Skeleton Knight.

I could hear the sound of Minji fighting behind my back, but I had no time to pay attention.

The Skeleton Knight must have been interested in my appearance in front of him, so he ordered the skeletons to retreat.

The meeting with him started like that, and he swung his sword with an arrogant expression.

The moment I blocked his sword, I could feel the heavy blow coming through his wrists and arms, and the difference in strength.

‘Next, stab from the left!’

The moment he turned his body to the right, his sword narrowly passed.

The skeleton did not stop there and continued stabbing with the sword.

I somehow avoided it with the movements I learned after dying dozens of times.

There were small scratches from moving too late or too fast in between, but not enough to die yet.

To defeat him, you have to break the core on the heart side.

In order to smash the core located on the heart side, you have to get rid of the old and worn armor.

Even so, durability was quite usable.

I somehow countered the sword he wielded and aimed at the core behind his armor, but his low-quality body wouldn’t allow it.

“Fuck..”

Due to the gradually decreasing physical strength, the movement of the sword slowed down.

“Ah..”

“Hey!!! Siwoo Kim!!!!!!”

“Again.. Failed.”
