2023-04-21 16:35:05Inside the room, Ivo lay on his bed and thought about the important matter of the moment. His gaze was directed to the ceiling of his room staring blankly.
He is currently faced with the most crucial problem experienced by all humans in the world.
'I have no money.'
This is the first problem that all players of this game have. There wasn't a single 'destiny' player who didn't come across this problem.
At least he didn't have to worry about expenses when he became a student of White Snow Academy. But there is also what is called operational costs while being an academy student. Such as activities outside the academy, personal equipment, even research that might have to be done.
Everything costs money. And that by a very large amount too.
"I can only do this in one go. Once done there is no going back."
"Well... not that this time is different from the times when I played games."
'Destiny' lacks the most important feature in the game. Save & Load.
This forces the players to move forward in the game. One mistake that results in death means the game will end there.
And what's even more terrible, even if we repeat in exactly the same way as the previous game, the storyline that we have will be very different.
This makes the game 'destiny' completely unpredictable. There may be special cases like raven but they are special cases.
"Never expect something to go your way. Everything you do has consequences." Ivo muttered in a low voice.
Even though he couldn't predict how this would end, but the knowledge he accumulated while playing destiny was real.
"Instead of thinking about reality problems and games it would be better if I think about how to get money fast." Ivo rose from his position and changed his position from lying to sitting. His head was still throbbing without showing any sign of disappearing even though it had lessened earlier at the academy.
There are several options in his head. Ignoring the pain in his head, Ivo focused his head on thinking.
'In the first place, I could just use the knowledge I have about games to my advantage.'
'No. It can't be done' Ivo shook his head, rejecting this first idea.
Right now he didn't have any power backing him in making use of all the knowledge he had. With the dynamics of this world, if he went this way, he might be found dead the next day.
Logically speaking, if someone suddenly came across rare and valuable items, or rare techniques and abilities without any support and news about that person spread widely. An unimaginable disaster would definitely occur. He would probably be found dead the next day.
Do not ask whether killing someone will lose value. The people of this world have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. If the secrets regarding all the knowledge he possessed were to become public, even he himself wouldn't be able to imagine what would happen.
"Looking for sponsors? No. It will never work" Ivo rejected this second idea. Right now he didn't have the slightest bit of value that he could show. Even if he had, Ivo would reject this idea naturally as it would limit his future actions.
'Selling things like potions? Maybe with the knowledge I have, there's even a possibility of great success' This idea crossed his mind.
'No I can't.' Ivo also rejected this idea. While the premise is good, it's not going to last long. It will also kill his future and potential.
One who focused on alchemy and blacksmithing would pollute the mana within his body and make that person more adept to the profession.
This is referred to by the players as 'speciality'. Conditions in which the body will be forged in accordance with the profession occupied. A simple example, a swordsman who focused on the sword would eventually allow the mana within his body to develop harmony with the sword. Therefore all the techniques and sword arts that the swordsman used would increase greatly while if the swordsman used other weapons such as spears, his efficiency would decrease greatly.
Right now his body was in the best state where his mana was still in its purest state without any specialties. With the talent and experience that he has, the direction of his development will not be limited.
Of course Ivo did not want to waste it. "I already know the development direction I want to go. So pursuing alchemy would be pointless."
Unlike the people of this world, as their talents and abilities blossomed their specialties would develop over time.
So doing this is like committing to a suicide.
"In the end my choices were restricted because I didn't have any power…" Ivo chuckled at his current state. It was possible that if he built up his own strength he would be able to destroy and mess up the economy in this world with his knowledge.
In the end he was restrained by his own incompetence.
Ivo touched her face and felt it all over her face. He seemed to check something on his face. "Maybe it can be done."
"Sorry everyone, don't blame me for my poverty but blame yourselves for your weaknesses."
Ivo looked out with a pitying face. Her gaze was directed towards the white snow academy where 5 towers stood tall.
***
On the city streets of Ernest.
Raven walked casually aimlessly. Along the way, people were amazed by his good looks. Even the girls couldn't take their eyes off his face.
Raven ignored the circumstances around him. In contrast to the relaxed expression on his face, his head was contemplating another matter. "It's really weird, I can't see through him anymore after that night."
What happened?, Who was he?, Why had he never seen him in the academy before? That's the question that always pops up in his head.
He sensed something very strange from the person named Ivo, though he had no idea what it was. Even the eyes that he relied on so much right now were unreliable.
For a moment he doubted everything he already knew.
Raven stopped for a moment in front of one of the ice cream stands that stood around the streets.
"One vanilla ice cream, please."
"Okay..." The seller quickly prepared the ice cream he ordered. "Here sir…"
"Thank You." Raven handed the money to the seller and looked for a fairly quiet place around the park.
Raven stared at the ice cream in his hand and began to enjoy every bite. The coldness melts in his mouth and the vanilla sweetness tickles his tongue.
"Delicious." He took another and ate it carefully. Enjoy every bite and the delicacy contained in it.
Raven enjoyed leisurely while enjoying the calm and sunny atmosphere in the city of Ernest.
It's a great way to calm someone's stress.
"Still like to enjoy ice cream huh. Is something bothering you?"
"...?" Raven turned towards the sweet voice. A smile appeared on his face and a sparkle could be seen in his eyes.
"Rachel long time no see." Raven greeted him and asked her to sit down.
The two of them sat in the garden looking at Ernest's cityscape.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine. It's just that my father always grumbled about maintaining the honor of the wishborn family and blah…blah… He never stopped nagging." Rachel made a sullen expression. Even so in her eyes, that sullen expression was very cute.
Raven smiled at that. He felt great turmoil in his heart but he restrained himself and kept quite a distance between the two.
"Hey why are you avoiding me." The further away the raven go, the closer Rachel got to the raven.
"Tell me, is something bothering you?"
"What do you mean Rachel? Nothing bothers my mind. I'm fine."
"Don't lie, I know whenever you have heavy thoughts you always calm down by eating vanilla ice cream."
Raven scratched her cheek while smiling awkwardly. "Am I that easy to read?"
She nodded. "Of course. It's easy for me to find out. Come on, we've been friends since childhood."
Glancing at the man next to her Rachel cleared her throat "So want to share your thoughts? Maybe I can help find a solution."
Raven was about to say something but the words couldn't come out. He could only remain silent and answered with a smile.
"It's like that again."
"You know I have my condition."
Raven saw the disappointment in her eyes, and changed the subject. "Tomorrow the academy exams will begin. How are your preparations?"
"Hmph… I'm sure I'll pass." Rachel got up from the bench and pointed at Raven. "And I will surpass you, so that one day you will admit that I am not a weak person who cannot even share the burden of his friend."
Raven was speechless when she heard it. A little smile formed on his face. "I'm waiting for that moment."
"Ahem…Remember my words."
Rachel immediately went away from the man named raven. Her whole face was red, she couldn't even show her face to anyone at this time.
Seeing Rachel's figure slowly disappear from his sight. Raven was once again reminded by his current goal.
"I will wait. It doesn't matter how long it takes. When the time is right I will tell you everything."

"I really need to reconsider my decision-making matters for the future."Ivo grumbled to himself. He really couldn't sleep last night. His head was constantly sending pain so he couldn't sleep at all.So to pass the time and distract him from the pain. Ivo performs simple drills using techniques he has accumulated during his time as a player.It was neither a special technique nor a forbidden technique. Just an ordinary mana circulation technique without any advantages.At first he thought it would take him at least one to two hours. After that he would feel exhausted after circulating mana throughout the body.But he was wrong. 18 hours, That was the time he had spent performing the mana circulation technique. When he opened his eyes it was already the next morning.His body condition was worse than he thought. The sudden appearance of his talent was really weighing on his body right now. His brain must continue to work in receiving stimuli that are continuously sent by his senses."

"Haahh…Haahhh…Haaahhh…" Inside the bathroom, Ivo was leaning against the mirror in front of him. His hand held the sink to support his body.His current condition was dire. His face showed a distorted expression with messy breathing. His body trembled uncontrollably and cold sweat covered his entire body.The tap water ran down his head to various parts of his body. All of his clothes were now soaked with water. His state was very pitiful if other people saw it.Brak!!!A fist shattered the mirror in front of him. Fresh red blood flowed from his hand mixed with the water in the sink.it hurts!!!it hurts!!!it hurts!!!

"Should be here." Ivo arrived in front of a large white hall. It was a large and majestic hall that could easily accommodate over 10,000 people.Without hesitation, he immediately entered the hall. Inside, only one person was sitting casually eating potato chips.Several books floated in the air and flipped by themselves according to the person's will. While reading his book, he asked Ivo who had just entered the hall."What is it? Are you guys lost?"Ivo caught his breath before answering. "No sir, I just want to continue the final test."The person asked curiously. He looked at the watch in his pocket. "Continue with the test? The written test is still not finished. Come back later with the others."Before Ivo could answer, he continued his questioning. "What made you believe that you could start the test earlier anyway?"Ivo answered cautiously. He couldn't cause trouble with the person in front of him with his current strength. If he said something wrong his life could be lost at

Ivo appeared in the middle of a very dense forest. Various kinds of trees towered and their leaves formed a canopy that could block sunlight from entering the forest.It's like entering a tropical rainforest. It looked beautiful and calming but Ivo knew there were all sorts of unknown dangers here.Recalling, the third test was never explained clearly by the supervisors. They only said that this test was a point hunt, but did not say the essence of this test.SurviveEven though it sounds unreasonable, this is a survival test set up by the white snow academy. A cruel test that throws all the trash that is not worthy of entering the academy.White Snow Academy only accepts as many as 100 people each year. With more than 1,000 people who took the second test, it's not surprising that the test takers will try their hardest to become one of the 100 people.This is why this test is called a survival test."I have to get out of this forest." Ivo started walking towards the north. Even thoug

Tringgggg…..Tringgggg….The sound of the bell echoed throughout the room where the second test was being held. The examinees handed over their test papers to the overseer and they left the room one by one."Haaahhh ... Those questions don't make sense.""Don't say anything about the test just now. None of the material I studied came out in those questions."People talk a lot about the second test that was carried out. Even though they had expected the exam questions to be difficult, they didn't expect it to be that difficult.Inside the classroom, Raven was tidying up her stationery. His face showed a bitter expression."Why? Are you not sure you can pass this entrance test?" The person next to him teased him. His face showed a smile as if he was not alone in this world."No, I'm sure I can get good grades on this second test it's just…" He wasn't sure how to put his feelings into words right now.He was a regressor.

The academy hall was the gathering place for all the students when there were various important announcements, parties, and banquets. With a hall capacity that could accommodate around 10,000 people, the academy hall boasted great splendor.Currently, the academy's hall is used to carry out the academy's final test. Thus, there were only examiners inside the academy hall."Wow… this place is really big and very spacious.""Right. Even the carvings and architecture of this hall are truly magnificent."Almost all the participants were amazed by the sight in front of them. To those ordinary people, seeing the magnificent buildings of White Snow Academy was a completely new experience for them."I should be able to enter the academy.

"This is an opportunity to change my life. I have to pass this final test." Elvin said these words over and over again in his heart. He listened carefully to Argon explanation. His right hand tightly gripped the longsword hanging from his waist. A small silver pin hung from his chest.Not only him, everyone tightly gripped their respective weapons in their hands. They did not miss a single explanation from the person in front of them.Even though many of them entered the white snow academy with different goals and interests, they all still wanted to be accepted into the academy. It's a dream that almost everyone here has."Now let's take a look at the points you've earned so far. This is the ticket that will get you into this academy." Argon waved his hand. The screen behind her slowly changed to show the names of the people who took the entrance test into White Snow Academy.The screen was a projection of the magic used by Argon.

The screen paused and showed the top five rankings covered in black as before."Okay. You already know what your rank is. 1000 people…no, 999 people should be ready to take this last test. But before I start the test, I will give you one interesting thing first."Argon snapped his finger, Three lights emitted a bright light like a beacon radiating up to the roof of the academy hall."...??""What's this?""..."Everyone looked at the 3 people, the light emitted from the three was so bright that even people outside the hall could see light.Argon showed a sly smile on his face. "This is a privilege that the top five rankers have. Those in the top five will light a red beacon to identify them. When it is lit, all forms of camouflage and concealment magic will not work.""You can think of them as fluffy sheep or golden tickets that will take you straight into the academy."

“How's the condition? Is it possible to save him?” Ivo asked while looking at the unconscious Elvin. A strange energy overflowed from his body that came from the scars.“I can and it's very easy. But there is one thing that bothers me.” Kevin mustered his mana and sent the strange energy through the wounds on his body.Energy slowly formed into a strange monster with mouths all over its body. The monster was about to bite Ivo and Kevin but was immediately sealed by Kevin."What's this? It sapped nearly all of the mana and strength this boy had. Even though it didn't touch his body constitution but right now he has lost all his strength.”Ivo looked at it and felt a very familiar feeling. "Greed? No… this is gluttony. It seems that everything he has has been snatched away by someone.”This was the energy he once had during gameplay. Even though it was so weak that it couldn't be compared to something Ivo had in the past, the energy that was in front of him was the same.“Gluttony? Are

“Do you think they will investigate our relationship any further?”Kevin shook his head. With what happened today, the Academy would restrain its intention to investigate the two. “The clone that I made is a perfect form that is almost similar to a real human. Unless the clone's soul is directly inspected, They won't know what's going on.”Ivo couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the screen Kevin made about what happened during the time the two of them disappeared and were replaced by a clone made by Kevin.The fight between the two only lasted for a moment before stopping. It was a short battle that could barely even be considered a fight. Both of them just exchanged attacks but neither of them got hurt.On the screen, Kevin said flatly. "You haven't changed. Even after you had the Heart of Fearlessness given by Mr. Gray, your personality hasn't changed. It's still the same as before."

"Do you think we're the ones that are difficult to manage or they really can't hear what other people have to say?" Amanda spoke to the person next to her.“Wouldn't it be better if we worked together?

Ivo remembers his past when he first met Kevin. While looking at the person standing in front of him. Even if it was just the distant past for him right now. the person in front of him and the person he remembered in the past hadn't changed much.Kevin looked at Ivo who was behind him. “Ivo Graham. When we were on the island, you had a resolution in your heart that was incompatible with someone living in this world. With that, I can be sure of one thing.”"You are the same as me. You are someone who shouldn't be here. But from the look in your eyes, I can see that you are very different from me”Ivo didn't answer and just looked at Kevin.He knew many things about the person in front of him. But he still couldn't understand the person in front of him. Their meeting at that time was pure coincidence.Even if he returned to the same place that time, Ivo couldn't find him.

“Are you familiar with this sight?” a voice that came from far away. “Probably not, you are a human who has the blood of the Void race.”In a world surrounded by a gray landscape of many colors, he had never seen. Streams of light of various colors flowing through the air were a form of pure energy. Ivo stood up touching the stream of light.After the two disappeared, Ivo opened his eyes and the scenery around him changed. Not a trace of the blue sky, Ivo stood above the sea of gray accompanied by black.It looked like liquid, but Ivo knew it wasn't water. It was an energy that he could sense within his body ever since he obtained the talent 'Distortion body'. It was Void energy that was so dense that it took the form of a liquid.The oceans flow according to certain and certain patterns. An extremely strong connection could be felt from the energy that flowed through the air and in this ocean.Kevin's voice came from behind him, but when he looked back, no one was there. Just an endl
Path of Swords
Path of SwordsThis was the swordsmanship that Ivo trained and refined endlessly until it finally became perfect swordsmanship for himself.As a player with none of the talents related to swordsmanship and low-level mana sense, the only specialization he had spent the most time with as a player was becoming a Swordsman.Apart from the relatively cheap price of a sword, sword skills are easier to learn than magic.This was a swordsmanship he created from someone who couldn't even swing a sword to be called a proper swordsmanshipIn contrast to Raven who has more than 3 talents regarding swordsmanship. As a player who didn't even have the slightest talent in swordsmanship, Ivo felt that almost all the swordsmanship he had learned had no synergy with him.Even if he developed a talent related to swordsmanship that he cultivated through hard work, there would be a limit to that. In the end, he would run into a dead end.Many say that people who work hard will beat talented people. Those w

Ivo sat on a rock holding 3 medallions in his hands. It was a medallion bearing the White Snow Academy's crest.The medallion is thrown into the air and played as if it has no value at all. If the Academy's students found out that with just one of these medallions they could enter the Tower of Knowledge for a full day, they would fight to the death for this medallion.That's how valuable the medallion in his hand is.“Everyone has their own plan. It didn't matter if it was White Snow Academy or the Court of Death. But this time, they seem to be seeking their own death.”Playing with fire. Even though it was a bit imprecise but it was an almost simile of what White Snow Academy did.Resurrecting the Undefeated King… They would really be crazy to do that. But all of this would align when I think about it. Moreover, Raven seemed to be taking extreme steps to attract attention from White Snow Academy.It seemed that my presence changed everything.Ivo relaxed on the rock watching the clea
