< Chapter 4 – Season 1: Preparation >
When the battle field opened, HyeonSeok had to throw up scream.
“Damn it.. What happened to this?”
He reached out his hand to the dayfly on the table, but he was off control for a moment. The body moved quite differently from the intention.
Kugwagwang!
The table was completely broken with a loud noise. It’s not just broken, it’s shattered.
[Lowest Monster dayfly is hunted.]
[Lowest Monster doesn't create Monsterstone.]
It was a little different from now. The ability of the body itself is clearly different from the tutorial mode.
[Excessive force not suitable for Easy Mode]
[Exceeding the specification does not produce the stats bonus and the experience value.]
[Level system is restricted.]
[Experience value system is limited.]
The alarm went on and on. He couldn’t hear what system was saying because he was so absent-minded. He looked at the shattered table.
‘Is that because of the huge scale of the stats?’
[Target not found. Battlefield disappears.]
He felt my strength run down at the same time. He tried to move his hand carefully. A different sensation. He felt heavy suddenly.
‘When the battle field opens… All my abilities are suddenly rising.’
Maybe so. When there was a something to hunt, the battle field was unfolded, and inside of it, It seemed that the power that was put up to 100 exerted its Strength.
‘That's it….’
He was not quite sure.
‘I‘ll have to work hard to get used to this power.’
This obviously requires control. If he accidentally open the battle field and touch ordinary people, he could kill.
'Let’s go up the mountain in the evening.’
It seemed as if a monster was the only way to open a battle field. Then, He had to climb up to the mountain where the monster exist and practice control this power. There are quite a few monsters living on the mountain.
He was so stable that his life in boredom began to change little by little.
The world began to change every minute. Such a change was of a scientifically inexplicable nature.
In the case of HyeonSeok, the tutorial mode was changed to Easy mode. But not only HyeonSeok, but also people around the world who have ability to claim to be a Slayer was revealed.
Some sort of urban legend, or rumors, has come to real.
There were three main types of people who were able to appear. Although the name has not yet been given or given a correct name, the Internet has begun to classify young people around them.
The first was Battle Slayer, the second was Recovery Slayer, and the third was Assistant Slayer.
One of the most problematic of these was the Battle Slayer. Although each individual had a different level of ability, most of them had a greater ability than the average person.
The world-famous boxer, Glia, was even knocked down by an ordinary high school student.
Suddenly, many people who came to power joined the crime or hurt people by mistake.
In response, governments have mobilized all their governmental powers to limit freedom of Battle Slayer and to identify and arrest their movements.
'Battle Slayer and Assistant….'
HyeonSeok was fall in thought. Battle Slayer doesn't exert his power alone. This was proved through experiment. Battlefields run alone by Battle Slayer are very short. Only five minutes. It is possible to exert superpower, but over time, the battle field disappears and returns to its original body.
But the story was going different when there was a Assistant Slayer. Assistant Slayer was literally aiding battle Slayer and Recovery Slayer.
They have no power in themselves, but they have the ability to open battle fields and open recovery fields.
And the HyeonSeok doesn't know that yet, They had the power to return the broken in Battle field to the prewar state.
This is referred to as a 'Restore', which is the latter.
‘Recovery Slayer shows excellent power to wound in Battle fields…‘
And a Recovery Slayer as the same role as a healer or a priest in games. It is not yet known whether their abilities are well known or not, but they have become very powerful in wound.
Of course, there were two restrictions. It must be a wound in the field of battle or recovery, and only when the recovery field opens up can it exert its power.
Like the Battle Slayer, Recovery Slayer has become known to be extremely short and inefficient.
‘It’s so stupid to run around with some power.’
In fact, most of the accident-prone Battle Slayers were belligerent or were relatively young. There were the most accidents in teens and in their 20s.
Those over the age range were also less likely to cause accidents than teenagers, those in their 20s and 30s and those in their 40s than in their 30s.
Of course, the power of Battle Slayer far exceeds that of ordinary people. But that’s not enough to jump in front of modern weapons.
In fact, in the U.S., a Slayer in his mid-20s who had become very powerful was killed by a police bullet.
'Let’s wait and see what happens.’
Each country has reluctance Slayers and redeemed them to the point of feeling a little overdone. That is natural.
They’re unknown creatures that have never been reported and can’t be scientifically proved. In situations where and how one might feel about it, management was needed for a while.
A few days later, a new fact has been announced.
– In the case of a new Wildboar appearing near Dobongsan, it has been confirmed that it has a strong resistance to weapons. The global phenomenon was named Shield.
The so-called shield, or monsters with physical shields, began to appear. As a result, there was a tragic incident in which a Wildboar hunter in his 40s died due to his poor handling.
Shielding was a concept like an extra H/P. Even the lowest-class monsters such as Dayfly or Mosquito were much stronger.
It wasn’t too much of a threat to humans, but at least it’s much stronger than it used to be. Monsters who had been killed by a light hit by an electric flapper have now been hit to death at least a couple of times.
In the case of Wildboars, a hunter with a shotgun was killed if the shield was harder.
– But when it was newly discovered that the shield was vulnerable to Slayer’s power…
And it turned out that the shield was more vulnerable to the direct hit of Slayer than a general attack on modern science.
He got a call.
– Hello. This is JongWon How are you?
– fuck that man.
HyeonSeok laughed. HyeonSeok has a fairly good relationship. But ostensibly good, there are few deep relationships. Among them, JongWon was a little special.
I’ve been in the same class since I was in middle school and I still keep in touch 15 years later. It has already been more than two years since he went to the U.S. unexpectedly, saying that he would return after acquiring a doctorate.
– Your friend call you after a long time. Are you being swear to me?
– Your voice is fucking voice.
– Hey man. We’re 30 years old soon. How long do you want to live cursing? Speak a beautiful and pretty language like me.
– Fuck you. So suddenly why?
It’s not every time we get in touch. They only contacted each other when something very unusual happened, but it was not awkward at all.
It’s also strange to see the use of insults that have rarely been used since becoming an adult emerge.
– I’m going back to Korea.
– Already? Doctor?
– Already got it. What do you think of me?
– You’re talking nonsense.
It was two years ago that he left abruptly to earn a doctoral degree. Not even a master’s degree was available at the time.
‘The Doctor is a bitch.'
It’s ridiculous. said JongWon.
– I became a slayer.
– Slayer?
– Yeah. Aren’t you surprised?
– What a surprise! Don’t make an accident, idiot. There’s a lot of kids getting into trouble these days.
HyeonSeok was surprised but did not show up. It was said that JongWon had become quite a powerful Slayer. So I decided to quit my Ph.D. and become a Slayer.
The HyeonSeok shook his head.
– Anyway, one push is useless. Do you remember? You suddenly told me you wanted to get a Ph.D.
Maybe he wanted to be a Slayer this time. Not really, Slayer’s treatment was relatively good.
Slayer’s physical abilities were far superior to those of the general public, so each country was very proud of them.
Four days later, JongWon really entered Korea.
Jong-won sat on the sofa in a panty, chewing on the squid’s legs.
“You mean son of a bitch. Aren’t you able to meet me?”
“How do I get to meet you when I’m working? Home?
“I’m going to get a room. Let’s use your house until we get it. But you must have been working out a little lately. I’m not kidding.”
HyeonSeok was well from the start. He has been training steadily since he was 20 years old.
“It’s you, not me that’s better. Do you feel better when you become a Slayer?”
JongWon stood up.
“Hey dude, You take care of your brother. I’m such a high-priced guy.”
“How are you doing? That bravado still hasn’t died.”
HyeonSeok sighed deeply. In his appearance, JongWon frowned on his impression.
“No. Not bluff?”
“Shut up, this amplifier, you little amplifier. Why? The strongest Slayer in the world? Oh, when I’m with you, the curse comes out of my mouth.”
I rarely use bad language after I’m 20. But what happened to my middle and high school friends? Especially when I met JongWon, the curse came out of me.
JongWon gave a serious look.
“How did you know?”
“Fuck you.”
“Hey, It was 38 when I was awakened to Slayer. I am 48 now. Did I look at the US statistics and at least no one is officially above me?”
The HyeonSeok cringed.
‘Strength is 48?’ That’s the official world record?’
HyeonSeok has not registered as a Slayer. Maybe people like HyeonSeok will do quite well. People who don’t step out and watch quietly in the background.
But it was a little surprising that force 38 was the official U.S. record.
“Are you sure the power is the best?””
“It’s you, so I’m telling you. This is your own high-end information. The thermostat requires confidentiality.”
“What’s the secret? It’s cutting. I have 100 all the stats.”
JongWon laughs Puhhahahahaha, great at that..
“Yes, you are 100 years old. a cute child I sleep first.”
“Get up on the floor. The bed is mine.”
HyeonSeok fell to the floor and lay in bed. He was throw in thought.
‘Strength is the official record of 48… Then what am I?’
There was a strange sense of satellite rather than pleasure. His whole thermostat reaches 100. When the initial force reached 100, it was given the title of a trade and received a bonus stat of +3.
They have invested in intelligence, physical strength and agility. As a result, he achieved the first 100 points, and had four titles: “The Muscular Man,” “The Wise Man,” "The Farmhand" and “The Swift Man.”
As I explained earlier, I got 12 bonus stats. It is still left as a stop.
In other words, all his current abilities reach 100, with nine remaining points left. However, he is facing a penalty for failing to follow suit.
His thoughts deepened.
‘I’m sure there’s someone who came up with the same idea as me.’
Then there must be someone who has achieved 100 before entering Easy Mode.
‘No, don’t… What if all the tutorials are different?’
This theory has its own logic. In fact, most people who raise their energy unconditionally as requested by the tutorial will be the majority of them. Anyway, in situations where you don’t know anything, it’s most convenient to do what you’re told.
However, if all the tutorials are different, the story will be different. What if all the progresses are different, and we’re lucky only in the case of the front row, how did we achieve the 100th thermostat?
' Come to think of it… My titles were given to the first person to achieve Point 100.’
If there were no errors in the system notification, the first thing I thought I was right. HyeonSeok opened his mouth.
“Hey, Jongwon. Are you sleeping?”
“Not yet.”
“How did you get into Easy Mode from the tutorial mode?”
“Of course it was a quest. 500 mosquito monsters, 10 fox monsters, 5 bear monsters… What was that again? Anyway, I caught some of that. The real jackpot was the eagle monster, and I even practiced shooting to catch him. It’s so fast that I can’t catch it… Hey, dude, are you listening to me?”
“I’m listening.”
I’m listening. The prediction was right. Everyone seems different. In the case of the Hyeon-seok, a scaffolding was imposed every time 100 animals were killed. It was a fraudulent quest in a way.
If he used it like a Hyeon-seok, he could have had a tremendous set of points.
The servant spoke proudly.
“Well… As a reward, I got as many as 20 stats. So my ability is not a joke.”
“Ok.”
He was threw in thought again.
‘What is my level of ability?’
I felt that I should watch the situation more. In the end, 100 is an enormous number. However, he believes that he does not need to reveal himself too quickly.
Money is not a problem. Life is stable enough. Then, it would be better to step away and watch the situation.
Slayer with an ability of 100 I don’t know how much power is. But it was clear that it would not be a perfect force like God. A stone that sticks out is bound to get hit.
In elementary school, HyeonSeok had a keen experience of it.
‘Let’s… let’s watch more from behind.’
