< Chapter 3 - Season 1 : Preparation >
HyeonSeok's expect be corrected. He don't know maybe this is Tutorial mode's trap that continue warning 'up the Stamina point'. Exactly, when warning continue and demand up the Stamina point, HyeonSeok try to up Stamina point himself. But he ignored all Tutorial mode's alarm, up other stat s more.
'Ok'
He opened Status Window and confirmed it again.

Weight increased 5kg. BMI was overweight but It doesn't matter. Before he entered the Tutorial Mode, He was overweight. Because his muscle mass more than others who don't exercise.
Another thing to keep an eye on is that all stats are fixed at 99 and it's not intentionally aimed at.
It’s good to be earning a free- stats , just to raise the same number. But I don’t know if stat ris ing, what gonna be good for me.
‘ What is good for me? ‘
For hunt monster, he went down to the countryside and killed all the mosquitoes, and other worms. Fkiller and cigarette lighter are better than Electric fly flap .
I n the past, he found beehive luckily. And burned the whole hive and poured boiling water in the layer of the ant monster to kill the dead.
But raising all stats to 99 was very hard . It was amazing and fun at first, but he couldn 't do it anymore.
‘Nothing’s getting better. '
When the stats increased , there must be some Merit, but not that. Nothing on the surface has changed since the number of the stats increased.
He felt a little better healthy , perhaps because of the feeling, but that's all .
'It’s a good thing I didn’t increase my Stamina point .’
Tutorial mode warned every time increasing stamina, but Hyeon Seok ignored the warning. A certain amount of Stamina, So he didn't fill the Stamina stat half of the maximum stat .
As he studied the status window , he found that if the Stamina d on' t reach more than half of the maximum stat , the penalty that gap of maximum and Stamina stat has given to each stat .
Minimum limit is 10 and if above 10, this rule is applied.
Now, the maximum stats point is 100 points, th e Stamina stat should be 50 points, and the current Stamina point is only 41. So , a penalty of -9 was being applied.
' Let’s just set to 100.’
I don’t know anything is go ing to improve, but it was a tutorial mode that gave me some kind of energy in my life.
And even if he was bored with it, it looks good if I set it to 100 points . Hy eo nseok thought so.
A little bit, he has symptomatic of Clumsiness . The hangers were always hung with same angle, and the bed was also neat. Cosmetics were also well listed by use. Considering that , there are many men who don’t apply skin or lotion properly, Hy eo n S eok was a freak of some sort.
Armed with a small flamethrower using fkil ler and cigarette lighter and an electric fly, he went on hunting trail -it's just nearby stream- again and gained 1 stat points after catching 100 dayfly .
‘ Power, this time .’
There was no particular reason. I just invested it, because It was the top spot stat . This is now a daily routine.
He ignored the warning that he should increase his Stamina level. But another alert was heard.
[In Tutorial Mode, Limit Point reached.]
[ Meet clear requirements in t he tutorial mode . F orced to switch to Easy Mode. ]
[The first Slayer to reach 100 Strength points. ' Muscular Man' title is given. This is a title can be applied separately from the title of Slayer. ]
[The first Muscular Man title gives you a bonus 3stat points .]
Originally, he had to raise the Stamina point to clear the tutorial mode. But when th e Strength points exceeded 100, the tutorial mode became clear.
‘It must be something different from 100 points.’
[ Enter Easy Mode .]
[ You have an over-high stats ignoring the tutorial mode advice.]
[This can be a disturbance during Easy Mode. Part of the penalty is applied.]
The constant buzz in my head was driving him crazy.
‘What’s th e easy mode?’
Within a day, the world was thrown around again. Monsters have become stronger, they just had the name of Monster but nothing like regular bugs before.
Especially a threat was the mosquito-monster, which killed 3,000 children worldwide last night. Most were children under the age of three and some were elderly.
Even a healthy adult could be bitten by a mosquito monster and go to a dermatologist for an itch.
– Monster. An evolving creature?
– A worldwide disaster. a small fire of about 3,000 Get out overnight.
– Even a healthy adult can’t relax.
– The time When special measures are needed.
In fact, the number of 3,000 worldwide was not that high. However, if they were children and they died overnight, the story will be different.
It is a terrible fear in the eyes of parents with children
'This is crazy…..’
HyeonSeok bit his lip weakly. The next day, when he heard the announcement that he was going to enter Easy Mode, such a disaster occurred. It wasn’t a game.
He felt good mood until yesterday. The first Muscular Man title gave him three bonus stat, so he can raised all the others 1points to make 100.
Nothing is good immediately, but anyway the numbers arranged in 100 made him feel good.
Even more absurd was that stats points were given each title as the first to break through the stats 100, which led to a bonus points reaching 12.
I went to work and everyone told me same thing.
“Sir, did you hear the news last night?”
The 27-year-old Kim SoHyeon approached HyeonSeok. It’s not a very pretty face, but thanks to its spirited attitude and bright personality. So she gaining the sweetness and love in KEPCO from who is a man.
“Oh, yeah. I heard it.”
“I’m really scared. What's really going to happen?”
“Well…”
Hyun-seok smiled and shrugged his shoulders. He was confident that he would take Kim to his bed, but he did not touch the woman around him.
He did not have a sex with the girl around him. It was good not to touch it, if it was strained and tangled with friendship.
So-hyun picked out a 200-won milk coffee and gave it to HyeonSeok.
“Sir, You know what?”
“What?”
“There’s a rumor going around on the Internet. the monsters are showing up, right? But someone who can handle those monsters… Slayer? S..Sir??”
HyeonSeok accidentally dropped his coffee. He was very cold and didn’t get any burns, but his brown pants were covered with brown coffee.
“Oh, I..I’m sorry. Are you surprised?
“No, I don’t care about the surprised, but your pants… Stay here. Let me get you something to clean up.”
HyeonSeok has lost his head. It is a rumor that is floating on the Internet. Slayer. Slayer was showing up. Slayer was not the only one in HyeonSeok. It’s not business hours yet.
HyeonSeok turned on the computer and checked the Internet right away.
There has been no public opinion yet. But there were writing boards, spread like rumors.
– I was a slayer!! The stat is over 20. I'm Strong!!
– Oh, kkkkkk but I think I should fill up the stamina point soon.
– Yeye. Now I only need to raise 3 now. I need to break tutorial soon.
– Hey nim. You need to raise your intelligence. Later on, you’ll open a battle field, which seems to have something to do with intelligence.
There was even a community of Slayer. The age range did not seem to be high.
‘No, I’m sure someone are elderly. they just didn’t join the cafe.’
Age seemed quite young, to speak of it or act it. The young people left writing claiming to be Slayer themselves, which was not worth dealing with.
Tutorial Mode? Stats? Intelligence points? That’s just a game word. Just a little kids gather and play with jokes. It was neither more nor less. However, Hyeonseok knows. This is not a joke.
‘Monster appears… Now is the ability to appear? What the hell…’
Since the day about 3,000 infants died overnight, countries around the world have been moving fast. There’s already a monster response corporation. Prepared developed countries quickly began mass disinfection because most monsters are small insects. and developed and sold vaccines against mosquito-monster venom at cheap prices.
As a result, the death toll has fallen exponentially. Fortunately It was a good thing.
– Slow response again. fixing the stable after a horse is stolen.
– The incompetent Korean government. They haven’t even established a monster counter yet.
But that was the story of some developed countries. In fact, only 10 advanced countries, including the U.S. and Japan, have started to deal with the situation quickly. However, measures have been established mainly in large cities, but the countryside has not yet coped.
In the case of Korea, I did not say that I did a good job, but I did manage to some extent. Since that day, nationwide sanitation work has begun and the mosquito monster’s seeds have been dried up.
But the problem was that we did not have a monster countermeasure. President Kim GeunHui announced his statement and announced that he would establish a countermeasures mechanism soon.
The Internet has become very public. The defense itself was very good, but public opinion turned to the government as unreliable.
This tendency was especially evident in young parents who lost their children, and no one blamed them.
Those who lost their children overnight had to grumble and the target became the government.
– But they did it pretty well. What more are they going to do cope? The Government are not a group of superpowers.
– Yes, a nationwide quarantine campaign took place overnight, which resulted in a single digit of the death toll from the mosquito monster. It’s a very quick response, and I don’t trust the government, but I’m good at it.
There were also positive comments to the government, but Internet opinion was more criticizing the government. It was on the Internet and was slightly different offline.
There are problems with not setting up a monster counter agency soon, but many said that the project was handled well.
HyeonSeok closed his eyes slightly.
‘Well, I did it well.’
From teens to early 20s, he wrote very critical articles about government policies, but as he entered his late 20s, the trend has faded.
At least what was good was good enough to compliment.
‘Easy mode… What’s different?’
I don’t know what’s changed. The monster got a little stronger. Large quarantine operations have killed the insects. Of course, in a day, or just a few hours, there would have been other insects.
Just like now.
‘So I dried the seed, and where did it come from?’
Then an alarm went off.
[Found Lowest level of Monster]
[Allow opening of battle field due to easy mode.]
[Do you want to open the Battlefield?]
