Chapter 5 - Episode 5

"Beep."

Damien narrowed his eyes as he saw the monster appearing through the grass.

It was a monster the size of a fist.

Chubby belly. Adorable buttocks.

This yellow-furred monster is one of the main monsters on Whispering Island.

Unlike his cute-looking appearance, he was one of those monsters that should not be caught off guard.

[Hat Chick]

A wild variant of the sunchick that lives on Whispering Island. Unlike his cute appearance, he has a very dirty personality.

Level: 1

Stamina: 30

Attack (AP): 1

DP: 1

It was .

"Beep!"

Upon spotting Damian, the sunchick opened his axe eyes.

It was indeed a whispering island.

Looking at the beaked look in his eyes, if he doesn't want to die, he will turn it off right in front of him.

"Can't you open your eyes?"

"Beep?!"

However, the opponent standing in front of him was a rotten year old of rotten years, and the sun chick felt his body stiffen at the sight in Damian's eyes.

"That's good. I just happened to need a test subject."

Whoops! Whoops!

The willpower of the former fighter was not high enough to endure his life.

"Beea

Fuu

The sunchick screamed as Damian's blow hit.

It was exactly in the middle of the torso.

Before he knew it, a wooden stick about the size of his forearm in his hand, and a small stinger about five centimeters long shot out of the tip of the stick.

[Wind gun]

Weapon classification: Wind gun (one-handed weapon)

Attack Speed: Fast

Grade: Normal

Options:

- +5 Damage

Description: A pedestal made of wood. It is easy to shoot small needles or arrows.

Damian's stinger was a hundred-hundred, and the hat chick had to become the target of the dartboard in an instant.

In other words, Damien was showing ridiculous proficiency with the wind gun he had never used before.

"Beeaaaaaa

"Uh-huh."

As the sun chick pounced, Damien clicked his tongue.

He seemed to have lost his cowardice.

A sunchick flapping its wings, and Damien rushing at him at the same time.

"You're dead."

"Beep?!"

Whoops!

And as Damien slid and swung his wind gun, the sunchick's eyes widened at once.

[Reminder: 8 damage!]

[Notice: Hit the fire!]

It was a neat clean hit.

[Reminder: Killed the Sunshine Chick!]

[Reminder: Experience gained!]

"Huh, gasp."

As soon as Damien knocked the hatchling, he sprawled on the floor.

My breath caught in my throat.

The limit of level 1 stamina.

Even though he was only a sunshine chick, Damien felt overwhelmed as if he was dealing with a high-level monster, and he had to use up all of his bar stamina.

It was funny.

Ever since the sensory limit was lifted by the system, Damian's body had atrophied greatly.

Ever since I was warned that if a character dies, so will I, I've had a lot of power in the controls.

His condition was like using a cow knife to catch chickens.

They were not using 100 percent of their resources.

"... I'm going to die pathetic, really."

Damien stretched out to the floor and looked up at the sky.

It was the first time I had experienced it.

I only did my best to deal with one sun chick and control it until I used up all my stamina.

Of course, there wasn't a single attack from the Sunshine Chick, but Damien never thought it was a good direction.

As long as the fear that subconsciously dominated his body remained, it was obvious that there would be a gradual problem with control.

"It can't be like this."

Damien pulled himself up.

* * *

[Reminder: Killed the Sunshine Chick!]

[Reminder: Experience gained!]

[Reminder: Killed the Sunshine Chick!]

[Reminder: Experience gained!]

...

[Reminder: Experience gained!]

"Mandible...! Crane...!"

Damien took a deep breath as he looked at the sunchick lying on the floor.

I was sweating all over.

The ten sunshine chicks he hunted.

Damien hunted the sun chicks, going through trial and error, and improving the problem by bumping into it with his own body.

It was an essential problem.

A vague fear that you might die if you do something wrong.

Realistic pain caused by the release of sensory limits.

Damien broke through these two head-on with a direct hit, and as a result, he was able to regain the same physicality as before.

In other words, instead of avoiding the pain, he chose to just get used to it.

"... I've got some gains."

Damien looked down at his dusty fist.

It wasn't just a bad thing.

Lifting sensory limits due to a bizarre curse called .

On the contrary, it meant that the five senses were raised to the polarity, and at the same time, much more delicate control was possible than before.

In other words, Damien was able to break through his limits with the curse on his body, while also being able to control with precision that the game couldn't fully implement.

[Reminder: Level up!]

[Reminder: Level 2 has been achieved!]

And Damian's level rose.

* * *

[Damian]

Level: 2

Occupation: Witch doctor

Affiliation: None

Inclination: -9,999,999,999

Title : Atrocity (極惡無道)

Stats: 1 strength, 1 stamina, 1 agility, 1 intellect, 1 dexterity, 1 luck

*Status Points remaining are 5.

"The remaining stats... 5?"

Damien raised one eyebrow as he looked at the status window.

Something was off.

A guide in the system window with the remaining stat points marked 5.

This was the first time even Damian, in his 10th year of the game, had ever seen it, and it was a staggering number, contrary to what at first glance seemed insignificant.

It was a number that was several times that of a normal class.

"It's crazy."

Damian's mouth curled up as he looked at the status window.

I thought it might be a bug.

In general, it was common knowledge in AC that when a class below rare gets a stat of 1, the hero class gets a stat of 2, and the legendary class gets a stat of 3.

It wasn't all about using distinctive and flashy techniques.

Moreover, the mythical rating that comes out with an average of 0.000019% is also 4~5 considering that the average stat is <>~<>.

Simply comparing stats, the fact that the Witch Doctor had a performance comparable to that of a mythic level was so obvious that even a passing dog could tell it.

It was only natural for Damien to look at his stats and make a flagship.

"That's enough... It's doable."

Damien nodded.

A ray of light seemed to shine.

As one famous saying goes, the beginning was small, but the end was great.

As a witch doctor, he has more than 5 stat points per level.

The gap with the other classes would become clearer as he leveled, and the gap was sure to grow like a river out of control.

Damian, who had spent tens of millions on one stat, couldn't help but notice the difference.

As such, the value of this AC's stat resulted in an exponential difference than expected.

"Jung Yumin...."

Damien lowered his eyes.

Suddenly, memories of him flashed through his mind.

The first Meiji series to break level 900. No. 1 in the Meiji series.

and to become the leader of the Demon King expedition to defeat Abraxas.

He had said in an interview with a media outlet that he had been developing the character for a very long time, and Damien knew he was an early member of AC.

Otherwise, he couldn't have reached that level.

Level 900 is the so-called Demon Section, and unless you meet a Qi Yun, you have to hunt for more than eight hours a day to make one job a year.

That's why the level is a bully in AC.

"This time I win."

Whoops!

Presently Damien clenched his fists.

* * *

"How are you?"

"It's not as bad as I thought."

When the lid of the capsule opened, the young man brushed his head lightly.

Such a young man's face was full of excitement and low-grade fever.

182 kg at 71 centimeters.

Painted stature and sculptural features.

This young man with a vulgar physical look seemed to be the essence of a bagel man, and he had an appearance that would slap the cheeks of most celebrities.

Moreover, if the background is the fourth grandson of the chairman of < Yushin Group> a leading Korean company, and the man who made a name for himself as the top professional gamer of the AOS game which was the most popular of the past decade.

It was no exaggeration to say that there are practically no people in this country who do not know his name.

Jung Yumin.

It was the name of a man who seemed to lack nothing in the world.

"The data?"

"I have it set aside in the study."

"I see."

Yu Min left the private room, leaving his attendants behind.

It was on his way to his private study.

Antique marble décor and finest wooden desk made of Italian ash wood.

The villa in Hannam-dong was gifted to him by his father, who is the president of the Yushin Group affiliate, and was a luxury house with a structure of about 108 pyeong.

It went without saying that the corresponding specialists were stationed in the elements.

The third generation of the group representing the Republic of Korea was as different from ordinary people as heaven and earth as the world they lived in.

"Hmm...."

Yu Min flipped through the PPT materials prepared by the attendants and gradually began to put into his mind what kind of game AC he had just played.

In the first week of opening, these materials that gave us an idea of the majesty of AC contained the fundamental reasons why Yumin fell in love with the game.

Yumin soon became completely fascinated by the pleasure and charm of AC and felt a pure desire to explore everything about AC arose.

That was why he instructed his attendants to investigate the AC.

Arguably, it was the first time AC had excited himself like this since the Nexus Storm.

- RRRRRRRR-!

"X foot. What a bird...."

The smartphone on the desk rang and Yumin turned his head.

His eyes were like thunderbolts.

If there had been a person standing in front of him, he would have stabbed him with a weapon right away.

However, when he checked the sender that soon appeared on his smartphone, Yumin's face became unfeeling, as if he had done it at some point.

[Sender: Kim Woo-sung]

He was the man who had been assisting him in the Restoration Group.

"Speak. Chief."

- Yes, Mr. Doryon. I'll post that then. First of all....

When Yu Min answered the phone, Chief Kim continued the briefing.

It was a briefing he had requested the other day.

The job that best suits him.

The item that best matches him.

And even how he can peak the fastest.

Kim suggested the most efficient route to Yumin, who listened to it and chose the most optimized method.

It was quite possible for the fourth grandson of the chairman of this Yushin Group.

It could have been said that it made sense to use manpower to develop mere game characters, but there was little he couldn't do in this country.

His words meant that any trivial thing should be done, because it was Yumin's strength and the world they lived in.

In the first place, the world in which we lived was different.

"Did I ask you to?"

- Yes Mr. Bleed. It took a while, but I made it.

"How much did you hear?"

- Three chapters.

"I hope it was worth it."

The corners of Yu Min's mouth drew an arc.

It was a wry laugh.

Unlike the pompous image known in various media as

Today, Yu Min was like a cold-hearted or emotionless sociopath.

It was an instinctive persona.

How to enthuse the public. How to make yourself like.

He knew horribly better than anyone else.

It was his natural talent to survive in the conglomerate family of the Yushin Group.

"AC.... AC...."

Soon, Yu Min turned his gaze towards the other side of the hall.
