No matter where you are, listening to a lecture that you know about is always boring.Since I had already studied those things beforehand for the entrance exam, that was basically boring. However, it is still the attitude that makes the change.If you are aiming for a good future where you are improving yourself, listening to others, no matter how knowledgeable you are, is a very important thing.That was the reason why I was still trying to listen to the boring lecture even though I was on the verge of sleeping.“Now, let’s talk about affinities. Anyone who wants to explain what affinity is?”Asking the question, Miss Delfina turned her attention toward the classroom.“No one? Then, Student Darius. Can you answer?”Looking into my eyes, she asked with a curious tone.“Affinity is basically the type of mana generated by the person’s own body, which is decided from birth. It is defined as the identity of the person’s will at the time of birth, and according to the affinity, one can com
For people in the modern world, how much free time do you have? I don’t really have much free time left from studying in college and doing part-time jobs, and because of that, I have decided to stop playing basketball. However, it would be very depressing if I didn’t have any hobbies; of course, I still have some. I love playing video games, especially RPG ones. Because you don’t need to commit yourself fully to one game in order to become a better player, like in online games, I have found peace while exploring the RPG game worlds. Last Friday, while returning from my part-time job at the convenience store, a commercial advertising a new RPG game called ‘Rise of the Fallen’ caught my interest. In the first place, I have been searching for a new RPG game for quite an amount time, and that’s why I bought it immediately. After arriving home, I started playing the game while eating my dinner. Because it was a one-week holiday from college, I didn’t see any reason not to start. Me? I a
When I woke up, there was an unfamiliar sensation all around my body. I remember that I finished the game Rise of the Fallen yesterday. However, I don’t remember doing some heavy activities that would result in this kind of heavy tiredness all over my body. After stabilizing myself and getting rid of the drowsiness, I found a chance to observe my surroundings clearly. Well, it seems like I am still dreaming or something like that because the ceiling, the room, the bed, the furniture, and all my surroundings are strange to me. I don't think I have ever been in a place like that in my entire life. In the first place, even though I was not very rich, I was not that poor to live in a room that showed clear signs of falling apart and had, at most, 10 m2 of space. The lighting of the room is very weak; it is like I am in some sort of basement. And what is with this messiness? There are trashes everywhere; how can a person even live there? I swear the person who brought me to this pla
I must say, I am impressed. Although this guy has not had much money in his account, it is still a pretty good amount for an orphan like him. It is just that he didn’t want to spend too much money on a room he would stay at most two weeks; thus, this room is that bad. Yes, he doesn’t have parents. Darius was found on a stormy night in front of Purple Rose Orphanage. The Nanny on the night watch heard him crying and decided to check if anyone was in front of the door. After that, she found him and decided to bring him in. At that time, there was pair of earrings in his hands, which had Darius writing on them. And after several calls to officials, they let her register him in the orphanage. The manager and nanny decided to name him Darius Nightborne. The name Darius comes from the earrings. His surname is Nightborne because he was found in the middle of a stormy night and has black eyes like an abyss. His childhood is expected in a sense if you exclude the bullying he had to go thr
Is it really helpful to wake up early in the morning? Most people don’t like waking up early, and originally, Darius was not an early-morning person either. However, that was not the case for me, and now I am in control of his body. This is changed; it is like we are the same but not the same at the same time. When I say ‘status’ in my mind, the status windows open in front of me. Status Strength – G- Agility – G Constitution – G-- Intelligence – G Mana – G Traits ???

When I entered, the first thing I noticed was that it was well-maintained with a professional impression; it was nowhere close to the fictional ones with drunk adventurers brawling and swearing at each other. This is not a tavern, so it is expected, I guess.At the receptionist’s desk, there is a beautiful lady. She has long black hair, red eyes, slender figure with no disturbing portions. Her name is Cassandra. However, it seems she worked overnight, and she is showing signs of insomnia as well. She was also working at another job, which is related to the blacksmith, because of the calluses in her hands. She also has a boyfriend whom she flirted with not too long ago, which I can understand from the act of trying to cover the hickeys in her neck.It seems the trait observer on effect. Anyway, it is not good to stare at someone you don’t know for too long, and it seems she was a bit uncomfortable as well.“Hello, how may I help you, sir?” she asked with a slightly tired voice.“Good m
How would you feel if you were going to a place where you could lose your life at any moment? Most of you probably feel anxious, but for some reason, I feel very excited. It is probably because I am going to feel the atmosphere of the game in real life. Right now, we are on the borderline between the Raikan Kingdom and the Republic of Cynthia. In this world, there are two continents. However, the existence of the second continent is kept secret. The first continent has five countries, each occupying one cardinal direction. In the south, there is the Raikan Kingdom. The Raikan Kingdom is the least strong one of the human countries. It is ruled by King Nicolas Banks. There are two duke households in Raikan Kingdom. Its capital is called Clomery City, which is the place where Purple Rose Orphanage resides. In the game, as Percy, we could adventure in this place freely because of the lack of power in the administration. The Raikan Kingdom does not have a strong standing on the cont
After I stepped into the wilderness, I could see that there were several other people who wanted to start early as well. Because this place is close to the entrance point, there aren’t many dangerous monsters around here. Some of the merchants turned this place into some sort of safe point and sold some potions, maps of the terrain, tents, food, etc. “Wow, a merchant can sell everywhere, I guess.” I muttered. ‘Now, firstly, I need to find a good place to ambush and position myself.’ I thought. Because, in the first place, without the element of surprise and range advantage, being a ranger is useless. ‘If I remember correctly, in the outer region of this area, there are white-horned rabbits, and red wolves reside.’ ‘It will be tough to aim them accurately once they are aware of my existence, so I need to land my first shot.’ I thought, and with that, I started to delve into the wilderness. My talent [Foresight] is very helpful in combat. Because when Darius was getting beaten
