Chapter 5 – Chapter 01: Elf Heavenly Demon
In other words, if you want to see the ending, you need to be willing to boldly break the useless dating flag!
In fact, at the time of defeating the Demon King, Eugene played the game in a way that focused only on the growth of himself and the heroines without getting involved with any of the four heroines.
Even in the true ending route, there was a route that connected with the main heroines or sub-heroines, but if you went down that route, you would not have enough training time, so you ended up going into the dead ending route and ended up in tears and deleting your save file.
In other words, in order to save the world, a luxury such as love is necessary! In the first place, Eugene was not the main character, but was possessed by the villain Youngsik Stral Zenon, one of the villain characters that the main character had to deal with.
In other words, there is no need to improve the relationship with the heroines to an intimate level.
In any case, the level of intimacy was just right as they helped each other train and competed through procedures.
In that sense, even if the heroines are suspicious of the excuse that Stral Zenon’s personality and Jeol Yujin’s personality are separate, there is no big problem.
‘In other words, if you can just re-enter the academy, most problems will be solved.’
As for food, clothing, and shelter, the academy provides dormitories, and in the case of the Combat Department, dormitories and food, clothing, and shelter are provided completely free of charge, so students will be able to live without problems until graduation.
In other words, if you can re-enter the combat department, you can meet the minimum conditions to pursue the true ending route.
‘You will have to enter as a first year student, but the grade is not important.’
No, actually, grade was important. Since all kinds of incidents and accidents occur around the main characters, it is easy for second graders, at least in the same class as the main characters, to interfere with the main story.
However, even if the grades are different, it does not mean that there is no means at all, so Eugene decided to think about entering school first, put the last piece of rabbit meat in his mouth and muttered before coming to a conclusion.
“Gulp… In the end, the key is to obtain the force that allows you to re-enter the combat department as quickly as possible.”
Good luck! Grumble!
Muttering like that, Eugene glared sharply at the wood fire burning quietly in front of her and closed her eyes.
‘Among the hidden pieces that become impossible to obtain depending on the period, I boldly throw away the hidden pieces that are past their freshman year.’
Even if the body has changed and the accumulated status has evaporated, the soul and the images imprinted on the soul are maintained.
That’s why Eugene boldly deleted unnecessary information from the mental space that could be said to be the database of life that was engraved in her soul and began to collect only the necessary information.
‘Hidden pieces that can be obtained from this important period, among them, the hidden pieces that can be obtained not inside the academy but near the system…’
Eugene was collecting the information she had organized while playing games and making charts from the database that existed in the mental space of her mind.
He was soon able to recall information about a unique hidden piece among most hidden pieces that he couldn’t even think about because they didn’t fit the category.
“… Come to think of it, Gu Yuma-gong. “Can’t you get that around here?”
A hidden piece called Guyumagong, or Guyushingong.
It is one of the hidden pieces of the martial arts class that occasionally appears in Orbital World, and was originally a new attack with such overwhelming ability that it would only be appropriate to obtain it in the second semester of the third year, that is, at the end of the game.
That’s because the Heavenly Demon’s inner gongsim method was this Guyu Demon Gong.
In the Orbital World, the Heavenly Demon’s Heavenly Demon’s Divine Gong, commonly talked about in martial arts circles, refers to the comprehensive martial arts used by the Heavenly Demon, and the Old Yu Demon’s Divine Gong can be said to be the true identity of the Neigongsimbeop centered on the Heavenly Demon’s Divine Gong.
If you learn it, it is a rare new technique called Guyumagong, which is the ultimate level of martial arts that guarantees you the level of Hyeongyeong and Grand Master level mentioned in martial arts.
However, it was only during this period that he could acquire the Old Yuma Technique, and only if he had not acquired any special abilities like Eugene did now!
‘Originally, it is information that can be found by repeating at least 10 times and gathering clues about the location of Guyumagong spread throughout each route.’
Even if, after all that hard work, they were able to find out the location of the dungeon where Lord Guyumagong was sleeping, it was impossible to enter.
… As I said, this is a dungeon that can only be entered if you are not familiar with any abilities.
However, perhaps due to the developer’s malicious intent, the dungeon only appears briefly and disappears during the winter vacation of the second semester of the first year.
And even if the protagonist skips the RPG part and does not develop his character at all, this period is the period after he has unconditionally awakened some kind of special ability.
‘When the protagonist enters summer vacation after the first semester of first year, that is, at the point when the heroine route takes shape, if she does not have any special abilities she is learning, she will be chosen by God and awakened as a saint.’
This Orbital World was a world where men and women were reversed. In other words, it is a world in which men, i.E. Saints, take on the position of partner of the warrior, as clichéd as saints on Earth, rather than women.
And of course, if the main character, who is the only one in the group, does not have any other abilities, it is the power of the saint that is awakened.
‘That’s why, even if you grit your teeth and don’t learn the ability until the second semester of the first year of school after gathering information about the Old Demon Sword, the protagonist won’t be able to learn the Old Yu Demon Sword.’
So then, how can that be a hidden piece?! I could have argued, but in fact, there was no way at all.
‘After learning appropriate martial arts, the Danjeon is discontinued when winter vacation begins.’
Through this, the body itself is returned to a body that has not learned martial arts at all. Of course, it’s easier said than done, but it wasn’t that easy.
In the first place, Orbital World’s worldview was one in which modern elements were strongly established due to the development of magic in the medieval fantasy era.
… To put it another way, the appearance of ‘martial arts’, a supernatural ability that would appear in a martial arts world, was itself a strange worldview.
In fact, most of the warriors in Orbital World were people who learned martial arts, not martial arts, and used them to control Aurors, using special abilities that felt inferior compared to martial arts.
Nevertheless, the reason martial arts existed in Orbital World was because of the guys called ‘Dungeon’.
‘Originally, it is simply a cradle of energy that arises as a result of the concentration of essence in the atmosphere… It was just a setting, but perhaps due to the influence of the Demon King’s army or a third force, some of the dungeons were connected to another dimension and degenerated into a demonic world dozens of times more dangerous than the original dungeon, right?’
And among the few dungeons connected to other dimensions, a very small number of them were connected to the martial arts dimension, and as a result, the martial arts ability called ‘Martial Arts’ flowed into the Orbital World.
Of course, the quantity was only at a very rare level, so the warrior-type ability that learned martial arts in Orbital World would not exceed 20 at best.
‘So you can learn rare martial arts in Orbital World and use them whenever you want without any aftereffects?’
That couldn’t be easy, right? The worldview of this Orbital World was that even those who had acquired and learned martial arts as a reward due to the mysterious power of the dungeon had difficulty passing them on to their students due to lack of basic knowledge.
But in that world view, the Danjeon is abolished without any aftereffects? Damn, if it were that easy, Eugene wouldn’t have taken a week to find the means.
… But the means were there. As a result of gathering and organizing information on all kinds of hidden pieces, Eugene was able to safely abolish Danjeon and find a way to learn new martial arts.
And through him, he finally succeeded in learning the Guyumagong, the method of practicing Cheonma Shingong that touches a man’s heartstrings!
It was a splendid achievement that took close to two weeks, and he thought that if only he had the Guyu Demon Attack, he would be able to conquer the true ending route this time…
‘It was summer.’
… Yeah, it was a shit summer. Who knew that Guyumagong was a mine created by a producer disguised as Hidden Piece?!
‘If you learn Guyumagong, you will be cut like a dog. To the Elf Heavenly Demon.’
For that reason, although it was okay to obtain a martial arts book that crammed knowledge about Old Yu Demon Lord, or more precisely Old Yu Demon Lord, into one’s head, learning it was out.
… This may be due to the influence of the dungeon connected to the martial arts dimension, since the Heavenly Demon, who was reincarnated as an elf in this world, is living in seclusion not far from the dungeon.
In such a situation, you learn Guyumagong inside the dungeon and then get out of the dungeon?
The elf Cheonma, who immediately sensed the presence of Goyan, who had acquired Cheonma’s German martial arts without his permission, approached him with light attack and cut off his hair before he could even recognize it, which would end up!
That’s why Eugene had no intention of learning Guyumagong even if he got it. In the first place, the hidden piece, Guyumagong’s martial arts book, was not a hidden piece used for learning purposes!
‘Hah, the incompetent person who knew the location of the dungeon that gave Prince Guyumagong’s military service was expelled from the capital of the empire at this time…’
Isn’t this what the nobleman who possessed him was aiming for? It’s such an exquisite time that it makes you think.
… And whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, since this information came to mind, there would be no hidden piece as suitable to use as this in the current situation.
Therefore, it is said that Eugene, with his stomach full, quickly got up from his seat, carefully extinguished the wood fire in front of him, and then began moving to the location he remembered.
+++
“Found.”
Eugene searched around, relying on his memory, which allowed him to recall as much of his original knowledge as he could without writing it down in a notebook.
After searching the forest near the capital, which he had reached after leaving the imperial capital, for about an hour, he was finally able to find the entrance to the dungeon he wanted.
‘Hey… , When I looked for it myself, I realized once again that it was really well hidden.’
Even in the original game, the entrance to the dungeon was hidden in such exquisite graphics that it was impossible to find it without collecting all kinds of clues through multiple rounds.
And when it is reflected in reality, we can see that it is not simply hidden well, but is exquisitely camouflaged to the point that it is difficult to even detect its presence through the sixth sense that detects essence.
To be honest, it was so thoroughly camouflaged that I passed it in front of my eyes about three times, so what could have been found in 10 minutes was only found after an hour of searching.
‘If I had searched instead of filling my stomach first, I might have collapsed midway.’
Fortunately, Eugene was aware of its existence and location through knowledge of the original work, so he searched the forest with his eyes wide open and was able to find it. Otherwise, it would have been a hidden piece that would have been buried for the rest of his life.
Well, as I said, this hidden piece was a hidden piece that could be acquired in a dungeon that was only open during the winter vacation period that started after the second semester of the first year.
It was unknown whether it would open again after graduating from the academy, but at least it was never opened during the second and third years of the academy, and within a year after graduation, which can be done by taking the true ending route.
For that reason, if Eugene, who happened to have knowledge of the original work, had been expelled from the Academy and the Archduchy and was not here, there is a 99% chance that no one would find it and it would have simply evaporated.
‘As a bonus, the route to becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Demon has also probably disappeared.’
But in the end, Eugene was able to find it, so the route is still alive.
… Well, even so, Eugene had no intention of continuing her progress by becoming Cheonma’s disciple.
Although the route to become a disciple of the Heavenly Demon has a high score, it has the disadvantage of almost having to raise the character again from the second semester of the first year, so if you take the true ending route, the difficulty of the second year is almost hellish.
Fortunately, once you pass this section and enter the third year, the character becomes so strong that there is a tendency for the difficulty level to decrease significantly.
However, the truth is that the story itself becomes a dead end due to all the elements that were not sorted out during the first and second years, making it nearly impossible to clear it in the end.
‘That’s why I tried all kinds of experiments, wondering if I could instead fall into the normal route, become a disciple of the Heavenly Demon, and force myself into the true ending route with a character performance close to peerless…’
At least until Eugene was possessed, no one had succeeded in that experiment.
As I said, due to game limitations, if you go the normal route, the options for generating events that will reduce your power level are limited no matter how strong your character becomes.
