Chapter 0 – Prologue
“Phew, it’s filthy big.”
After passing the long grass that formed the [Tutorial Forest], The road finally appeared.
There was not a single cloud in the high sky, and the sunlight in the distance was scorching. The trampled grass is full of grass bugs, and the grass is so sharp that it stings every time it touches your skin. The wind whistles and blows your long hair.
At the same time, when [Stamina] Ran out, my legs trembled and my whole body was weighed down by fatigue.
What the hell kind of crap this massive updater is.
This division is after unluckily creating a new character for the warehouse.
Wiping the sweat dripping down my forehead from the sweltering heat with the shabby sleeve of the [Novice Priest’s Clothing] Fills my heart with a faint sense of achievement that I have finally arrived.
I am the guild master of [Luts]!
What a sense of achievement in such a tutorial!
Who am I?
I- I am not a weak priest like this.
Master of [Luts], A large-scale guild that conquered 23 castles while leading a large group of guild members for 8 years in [Thearesia Online], Which consists of a single server.
As a tanker, he also plays the role of a dealer and a healer at the same time through his terrifying vengeful combat power.
“Welcome, congratulations on clearing the tutorial.”
The guard NPC on the roadside always looked at me with the same pronunciation and voice.
However, unlike in the game, like a real human, he was alive and breathing. It was not a being made up of chunks of data. Even the slime that was set to be easily killed in the tutorial wriggled like an animal being slaughtered, so that must be the same.
“After… “
No matter how the large-scale update was done, the [Tutorial’s Forest], Which took about 10 minutes, expanded enormously to the extent that it took 3 hours. I was running and walking as a newly created priest character with weak [Stamina]. It wasn’t a status ailment of [Out of breath], But it felt like my lungs were actually being ripped apart.
I felt intense fatigue from the excessive reality, but fortunately there were benches on the main street. I sat on the grass and the bitten spot is still itchy.
Even now, how long will it take to reach [Rubo Castle], The first town and big city that took only 5 minutes before the patch?
You punks..
– Growl
And I’m hungry too.
Pigeons flutter and waddle along the main road. I’m so hungry I want to eat that.
“Is this still a game?”
I sat down on the bench and lowered my head, my long hair falling down.
If you are a gamer, you will think that it would be nice if the game became a reality at least once.
The problem is that I don’t want to feel realistic with a weak character who speaks in such an infinitely lovely and delicate voice.
This character is a dummy character created to move the material items in the overflowing inventory. As soon as I connected to this character, I felt a bit tired, and the moment I realized that I had been playing for too long and was about to press the [Logout] Button, my eyes turned black with the phrase ‘I will perform a large-scale update.’
When I woke up, I couldn’t open even the simple menu, let alone the logout button. It was so good that I thought it might have been a different world transfer that is popular these days with a strange sense of reality that I couldn’t feel before.
For a moment, I was excited and walked with light steps, but when I felt dizzy and collapsed, I stuck out my tongue at the weak stamina of this priest character.
Still, if you wait a little longer, you can go back to the character selection screen.
Even now, I want to return to the body of [Fenrir] And taste a strong character in this realistic world. Go to the bank quickly, find the item you left in your account safe, and access it as your main character.
“Hey, is this your first time playing Thearesia?”
“No work.”
An old man who tried to hit a beginner in any game approached me. If you look at the system, it doesn’t look like an old person, but it looks like a mid-level user. Since I am a warrior type, I understand that all of those armors and accessories are in the level 50 range.
Even though that warrior was waving his hands in disinterest, he came and sat down next to me. Then he looks at me and frowns.
I felt dirty, but for some reason, I followed the warrior’s gaze and found that the skirt of [Novice Priest’s Clothing] Was rolled up. There was a white underwear that I had never seen before.
Is it because of this?
“What?”
“Big… No. It looks like you are an existing user. Of course, as soon as you log in as a beginner, this kind of thing is really fierce. You look tired. Have a drink of water.”
I am hungry, but my throat is dry.
The warrior opened the leather water bottle from his waist and handed it to me, so I snatched it.
The leather water bottle was an item called [Fairy tears] In the game world. It is a potion that acts as an ‘elixir’ that roughly replenishes 100% of health and 100% of mana in other games.
I get a water bottle and catch my breath for a while, and I feel the sticky blue clothes clinging to my body along with the sweat running down my body. In addition, even the long hair sticks to the cheeks because of the flowing sweat, making it stuffy. I opened the water bottle and brought it to my mouth to somehow quench my burning throat.
– Gulp
[Fairy Tears] Was very effective in quenching my thirst, which was as dry as the desert.
Oddly enough, this warrior smiled contentedly at me. He’s a warrior, so he has a stocky physique, but with a smile like that, it feels like he’s looking at a gay man.
“Is this your first time playing this game?”
“No, I plan to go to the guild.”
I quickly returned the [Fairy Tears] And got up from the bench and walked.
However, the warrior followed me and continued to talk.
“Heh heh, you have a guild.”
“… Yeah, what the hell is this?”
“Besides, are you a man?”
The warrior grabbed the slender wrist of this body at an invisible speed.
The warrior must have grabbed my wrist weakly, but the pain I felt in my wrist was beyond my imagination. It was mentioned that warrior characters are strong in the game because they take [Strength] And [Agility], But when they were attacked in real life, I felt pain enough to flip my eyeballs.
“Ah!”
I just squeezed my wrist, but I screamed involuntarily at the pain I couldn’t feel in the game.
It feels like a real broken wrist, not the alleviated pain felt in the game.
Besides, I don’t know if the avatar felt it, but my hands and feet trembled and my teeth naturally clashed with the wriggling fear that came from my instincts.
“I’m sorry, but now you only see me as a woman.”
The voice of a warrior that sent chills down my spine and the sly eyes that looked up and down gave me a sense of threat, as if I was looking at my inner self rather than my outer appearance. Taking advantage of the moment when the strength of her warrior’s hand loosened, she quickly removed her hand and ran toward [Rubo Castle], Squeezing out all the strength she had been sucking on.
