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 continent. That is the reason they don’t have strong governance over foreigners. However, for its own people, it has very strict taxes and audits.
In the east, there is the Wrukha Empire.
Wrukha Empire has the strongest military force on the first continent.
It is ruled by Emperor Alexander Nielsen. It has a special force called elite knights, which is known to be the strongest squad on the continent.
Wrukha Empire has five different Duke houses.
Each one of the dukedoms has its own specialty.
Note that, in order for a house to become a dukedom, they need to have an SS-Class being in their household.
Because of this reason, the general power of countries is determined by the number of Duke households.
And before I mention another country, let me give you an explanation of how the ranks in this world work.
SSS-Class (Demon King- Ancestors of Human and Elven Kingdoms)
SS-Class (Heads of the Duke Households- Head knights – Marshal of the Cynthia)
S-Class (Heads of the Count and Marquis Households- Elite knights of the Empire)
A-Class
B-Class
C-Class
D-Class
E-Class
F-Class
G-Class
In the game, we have just a simple explanation of these ranks, and according to our level and attributes, we raise our strength.
And according to the output of your damage, your rank would be shown in your bracelet, and this was our system interface.
And note that since the Demon King was SSS-Class at that time, he is a huge threat to the current world; if he is still alive, that is. I will mention the story of the Demon King and the continent later on time.
Anyway, aside from that, we have ranks in skills, artifacts, and beasts, but it is not that important right now.
Then let me keep explaining the geography of the continent.
The capital of the Wrukha Empire is called Ekadon City.
Wrukha Empire is the homeland of Percy. The Middleton Family was one of the founder families of the Empire, and in the beginning, they were a dukedom. However, because they haven’t produced any SS-Rank, aside from their second patriarch, they have been demoted to the Marquis rank.
And, on the west of the continent, there is Apraxia Dynasty.
Apraxia Dynasty is the second strongest human country. Dynasty has the most extensive land and had three duke houses.
Its citizens look like people from the east side of Earth. They have slant eyes, white skin, and characteristic long hair.
The capital of the Apraxia Dynasty was called Yrastin Province and was ruled by Dynast Xiang Ling.
Then there is the Mithrin Kingdom in the north of the continent.
Different from the countries I have talked about so far, this kingdom is ruled by elves. And as most of you already know, if there are elves in a story, there must be a World Tree as well.
Because of the elves’ close relationship with nature, most of the lands of the Mithrin Kingdom are occupied by forests. Normally, one may think elves are good at archery. Yes, they are good at it, but their main specialization is their magical talent.
Because elves are sensitive to natural mana, they are generally better at using magic. However, that doesn’t mean there is a huge disparity between elven mages and human mages. It is just that they have an advantage in the understanding of mana, nothing more, nothing less.
The Mithrin Kingdom, which is ruled by Elven Queen Elanil Dean, has the second-strongest military force on the continent.
It has four Ancient houses, which correspond to the Duke houses in human countries.
The capital of the Mithrin Kingdom is called Baernarta City.
And lastly, in the middle of the continent, there is the Republic of Cynthia.
This country used to be called the Cynthia Kingdom, but because of the rebellion of commoners, the royal family was exiled, and it became a republic.
Because of its geo-politic position, it is economically the best country. Most of the international transportation is controlled by the Republic. This place is also the most technologically developed one.
Most of the dwarves live in the republic because of its lenience to other races. Generally, the citizens of other countries show signs of racism, and because of that, dwarves prefer to live in a republic.
Note that dwarves are very skilled in engineering and blacksmithing, and they have contributed a lot to the development of the Republic.
Cynthia is ruled by a Prime Minister and Council. Its capital is called Millennium City, which is the city of Millennium Academy.
In the game, almost all of the academy arc took place in this country.
Also, the headquarters of the Hero Association is in Millennium City. As a matter of fact, most people call this city as ‘Heart of the Continent.
And the existence of the second continent is held secret by countries. Almost 2000 years ago, the first continent and the second continent were connected and were one whole continent called ‘Utopian.’
However, because the alliance of demons and beast kin decided to invade the human and elven territory, there was a huge war which was called First Continental War.
However, the human and elven sides were losing, and because of that, the Ancestors of Human and Elven Kingdoms, which were SSS-Class beings, decided to cut the connection between the two continents and seal the first continent.
However, they did it at the cost of their life, and they were the last generation of SSS-Classes. After them, there is no person has ever reached the SSS-Class.
However, because the seal is slowly weakening, the creatures of the second continent can sometimes breach it and step onto the first continent. But only some of the weakest creatures can dodge the seal. The seal is working as expected for some of the strong existences in the second continent.
But that doesn’t mean the demons are staying idle because of the seal. They are trying to make the seal weakened and invade the first continent.
Then how do they do it? How can they weaken the seal that limits them?
They do it with the assistance of dungeons, which are space portals to the dimension between two continents.
At the end of the game, as Percy, we suddenly found ourselves in a foreign land, and the developers confirmed the identity of this land as a second continent. However, aside from its existence, there isn’t much information about the second continent, and there were only theories about it.
And there was a dungeon on the border between the Raikan Kingdom and the Republic, which has the legacy of Bow God. However, sadly only a High Elf can obtain this legacy, so it is useless for me.
And with that, I finally reached the wilderness entrance checkpoint. In order to go to the wilderness, either you need to be an adventurer, a hero, or a freelancer.
With that, I gave my adventurer card to the officer, and after the verification was finished, I stepped into the wilderness.
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
How would you answer if I asked you what is the most problematic trait of the wolves?It is their strong territoriality. In the first place, wolves are one of the most dangerous predators on earth, not because they are the strongest. If we talk about the physical strength of wolves, they are below tigers, bears, lions, etc.However, their strength lies in their numbers and their strong sense of vengeance. If you kill one of their kin, they will record your smell and hunt you to death.Well, aside from their magical evolution, most of the Red Wolves’ traits are the same as the ones on earth.And, right now, in my front, there are 3 Red Wolves showing signs of attacking.“Grrr,” “Grrr” “Grrr”‘It seems like avoiding combat will be impossible; then it would be best if I attack first.’ With that thought, I immediately started to act.I drew my bow almost instantly. Nocking a smoke and fire arrow at the same time will affect their sense of smell, hearing, and sight at the same time, which
What strategy would you use if you were trying to escape? In most cases, you need to have a good understanding of your environment to use some of the possible places you can access to slow down your pursuers. In my case, this place would be a narrow slit with a 4.7 meters width. Because of its small width, there can be, at most, two wolves attacking me from behind. And I still have one explosive arrow left in my bag, which I can use to make the hill collapse on the wolves. With that in mind, I started to use my every bit of muscle to reach that place as fast as possible. Because my body has G-- constitution, it would be impossible to maintain this kind of speed for a very long time. And there is also the injury in my back which hurts quite a lot too. After parrying and evading for 15 minutes, I finally managed to reach the slit and immediately fired another smoke arrow at its entrance. I have constantly been using [Dash], and because of that, I don’t have much mana left. I can,
How would you feel if the last thing before you lost consciousness was your fall?It feels like you know you are in danger, but you can’t do anything about it except embrace the helplessness.When I woke up, it felt like I had done a full day of military training. Every muscle in my body was in pain and screaming for me to rest.However, I can’t afford to rest right now. I don’t know where I fell and how deep this place is.Also, it doesn’t seem like I was injured from the fall; however, my clothes are all wet. It looks like I fell into some sort of underground water source.Well, it is good, nevertheless. Because water absorbed the impact of my fall, I didn’t have any injuries. Moreover, this place is warm, which makes the possibility of hypothermia very low.The injuries from my previous fight have also healed completely; it looks like I slept for at least three hours.Then, I started to observe my surroundings.It seems I am in some sort of a cave. The ceiling is 10.7 meters high,
What is the most prominent feeling of humans when one is in a dangerous situation? It is the fear of death.The feeling of not being able to live tomorrow, not being able to see someone you love again, or not being able to see yourself achieving the things you worked so hard, etc.And can someone really overcome his fear of death?I don’t think someone can overcome this feeling. All you can do is accept the reality that you can die at any time and keep pushing forward until you reach your goal.Then, you can enjoy the thrill of improving yourself on the thin thread called life. No matter what you do, if you don’t leave the place you are comfortable, you won’t be able to improve yourself.Now, I am in the presence of a gladiator. Do I feel fear?Yes, I fear that I could be dead at any time. I am uncertain about winning; however, does it matter?No, it doesn’t matter if you are certain or not. The only thing you need to do is keep winning. That’s all that matters.‘You shall sur
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*“You did an outstanding job, passing the first two rounds. Right now, you can either leave with ‘Arcum Lunae’, or you can challenge to the third round, and after clearing the third round, you can request a reward from me.”The same male voice from before said to me.‘I didn’t even sense him. He just appeared behind me. It looks like he doesn’t have any intention to hurt me, or I would have died without knowing.’I concluded.‘It seems the test is over, or maybe not. In the first place, the legacies in the game all had a concept and a test related to its concept. Before I draw any conclusion about the end of the test, I need to understand what the concept of this legacy is.’I thought and started to recall everything that happened after I came here. After some thinking, I concluded my answer.“I shall leave.”I answered him.“Hoh, why did you decide to leave? If you win the third round, you can request anything from me, you know. And from your performance in the fi
If you ask me, what type of sleep do you think is the best?I would say the sleep you get after working very hard for something and knowing that you will get outstanding results from it.And the sleep I got last night was the perfect example of that.Yesterday was the best day of my life so far, considering I am neither Darius nor Joshua.After twelve hours of sleep, I woke up.The first thing I did was shower, and after that, I cooked breakfast with an omelet and toast.While eating my breakfast, I decided to observe the changes in the system and my status.With that, I said ‘status’ in my mind and started to read the things on the screen.StatusStrength – GAgility – G+Constitution – G-Intelligence – G+Mana – G+Traits???PerfectionistSociopathic BehaviorObserverCalm MindTalents Arithmetic – Mastery %32Geometric Eyesight – Mastery %35Foresight – Mastery % 16Materialization – Mastery %2????????

The moment I activated my skill [Lunar Rush], I instantly arrived at the first goon smashing the windows with his bat.From the damage he caused with one strike, I concluded that he has, at most G+ Rank strength, which is quite good, considering this guy is just a goon in the borderline town.Since all of my statuses raised one sub-rank yesterday, I can go head-to-head with someone from G rank, and with my skills, I can fight with someone from G+ rank as well.Well, the moment I arrived beside him, I threw a punch to his face. Because he was focused on smashing the windows, he couldn’t react in time and got hit.The other two immediately reacted to my arrival.“You bastard! What are you doing right now? Do you even know whom you are messing w- burghhhh.”The Goon-2 was shouting, but…This guy seems a bit stupid. Who talks while fighting?When he started talking to me, he just lost the opportunity to attack me from my blind point. I instantly reached him and punched him in his stomach,
