Chapter 8: Gangnam Station (4)

“There’s an adventurer who has gotten over 50 first? Wow.”

The three who were standing behind Hansoo just watched this scene in a daze.

“What do you mean 50?”

“It means that the basic strength and stamina combined have gone over 50.”

“We always like a person who is active and outgoing. And for that we prepare a small reward to the most active and outgoing person.”

Mihee opened her mouth.

Mihee was a female.

Mihee was dissatisfied but asked quietly and tried to show the least amount of disrespect.

Since she had seen that cute fairy rip out the heart of a person.

“You don’t need to be that careful. We don’t kill once we start. We don’t kill on a whim.”

“And to answer the question. It is supposed to be unfair. Life is.”

While Mihee was fl.u.s.tered the fairy kept talking.

“…”

“You were probably also a part of the unfair faces in your world. But then you didn’t change your face to lower yourself to the average right?”

At the fairy’s bitter words Mihee clenched her teeth and backed off.

“Since you were the first one to go over the combination stat I will reward you.”

‘3 of any rune.’

It was a reward to the first person who had gone over the combination score of 50 out of the 100 in the tutorial stage.

From a point of view it is similar to a game but the d.a.m.nable part is that this mission thing isn’t really set already.

It was like there was a bank full of problems and the fairy would pick a few then started the tutorial.

He brought the mission list with 119 missions created through people’s experiences but he didn’t know which mission would’ve came out.

The muscular man he had seen probably had at least around 33-4 of strength and vitality combined at the start.

He didn’t expect much but maybe due to his fast progress or something he luckily received it.

And among the 119 missions this mission had quite a nice reward.

“Tell me 3 of any rune that you want”

3 of a stat rune is a large reward if it’s a large and is a small reward if it’s small.

But what he wanted was a different rune.

At those words the ones who reacted were the three.

And Hansoo might even give it to them.

‘He won’t leave us to die, right?’

But Hans...o...b..trayed everyone’s expectations and spoke of a different rune from his mouth.

At those words the fairy made a slightly shocked face then smiled as it spoke.

And the fairy pushed its hand into the void without words then pulled out three peculiar looking runes.

Basically all these fairies wanted was things to go in an amusing way so they didn’t really ask much no matter how much you planned things.

And Hansoo, who had gotten much more comfortable, laughed inwardly.

Magic Resistance Rune.

But on the other hand physical resistance runes and magical resistance runes are not something you can acquire in the tutorial stage.

‘It’s really some crazy luck’

Magic resistance runes are very important.

It wasn’t like a game where if you got hit for 100 damage ten times you would lose 1000 and die.

And for that physical resistance and magic resistance were more important than anything else.

It had a more essential solution.

‘This is similar to a game’s defense or resistance’

As Hansoo ate the runes, his stats were altered.

Vitality: 24.8

Perception: 15.2

Magic resistance, which was fixed at 10 from the start and had no reason to be displayed, showed up as it increased by 3.

Hoo-oong

‘Good. With this I gain resistance to skills.’

To be honest, in the tutorial area most attacks were physical if you take into account for the attacks you would receive.

But physical defense can be filled in to an extent with his experience and battle skills but on the other hand magic attacks with a wide range of attack and a few vicious skills couldn’t be dodged once they were cast.

There isn’t a beast or human who would use magic with the normal tutorial difficulty but the place he was challenging were the dungeons with hidden pieces.

Just reducing the damage to an extent.

Since regeneration runes are only able to be utilized if you were alive.

This will be of great help to his progress.

The fairy looked at that Hansoo and then smiled widely.

The fairy, who had finished talking, disappeared into the void.

“Let’s go. But why are your expressions like that? It seems like you miss something.”

It felt like three regeneration runes had disappeared right in front of their eyes but no matter how shameless someone was they couldn’t say it so they just made pitiful faces as they walked behind Hansoo.

Kudududuk

Hansoo, who had gotten rid of all the Land mermaids, mumbled as he looked at the creepy entrance in the distance.

“But it seems your movements have remained the same since back then…”

‘He has some keen perception.’

All the runes Hansoo took were gathered just like that on there.

“Really?”

But then he realized that it wasn’t that hard.

He thought ‘I should gather them…’ and the moment he moved his hands the runes that had been getting absorbed into his body turned into a small dot-like symbol on his wrist.

Hansoo looked at Taesoon and spoke.

“Why?”

“First it reduces your hunting speed.”

Since you could get the gathered runes and raise your stats instantly in case where you feel like you would get pushed back but there are holes in the strategy.

“The runes?”

“Yeah.”

Usually when one died the rune that came out was only a tiny part of what they had acquired and the dropped rune was also random.

And especially during the beginning where one doesn’t have physical and magic resistances.

Walking around with a lot of runes on your wrist was basically walking between bandits with the body to buy weapons and armor on your back.

“Then why do you gather them?”

“Because we can trade with each other.”

The nine strongest clans created by the existing people.The common currency created through the agreements from two neutral clans of the

,

and

.

But in the tutorial area where adventurers couldn’t get into runes could be used as currency to some extent.

Two of the people who cleared this hidden piece told him.

As far he knew that mission was the only mission of a first-come type mission in the first tutorial area so there was no need to keep raising his stats vigilantly.

If he was in a perilous situation while fighting he could just simply use the runes and there shouldn’t exist anybody who could kill him anyway.

At those words Taesoon and the others started to gather tunes.

“You guys can’t. Just use them as you get them.”

As Taesoon suddenly asked Hansoo, Hansoo clicked his tongue.

‘As I see it he wants to get those runes and trade them to raise perception or agility…’

Probably from their situation they want to go towards the path where they receive less injuries.

If you lack stamina or strength then you will fall before you can get rid of the enemy.

He was confident physically as well. The techniques were fundamentally different so he could save runes and fight at ease with the remaining strength and vitality.

Taesoon, Sangjin and Mihee were not at that level yet.

But Hansoo just shrugged.

‘Well if they go down and get wrecked they will wake up.’

If you get hit by a monster once and scream out you will automatically touch your wrist.

‘Just maintain around that pace.’

“Well do whatever you want. Let’s go down then. Are all three of you going again?”

‘The second floor was definitely hard… but we got stronger. And it was only hard at the start and we got used to it after.’

And if they kept fighting wouldn’t they get something like a mission as well.

‘And… We’ve come this far, we cannot let him go alone.’

The three who had decided followed Hansoo just like that to the third floor.
