Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

It can't be a bug ...

Such an exaggerated talent skill made Jack a little worried that the system didn't have a bug.

How else could such a buggy talent skill be allowed to appear?

What the hell? We'll talk about it when the time comes.

There's no use in ruminating now; we can only take one step at a time.

Jack looked at his character panel.

The exaggerated attribute values made Jack realize something.

That is, the improvement of attributes is closely related to the proficiency of knowledge skills.

The five free attribute points given when leveling up are a drop in the bucket.

Even after ascending to level 100, the free attribute points were only 500.

Even if it was evenly distributed among the four attributes, it would only be 125 points per attribute.

A primary knowledge skill can bring thousands of attribute points once it is raised to the master level.

What should I add?

Two attributes, Intelligence and Spirit, are augmented by the Knowledge skills of the three professions, eliminating the need to waste free attribute points.

The only two attributes that required free attribute points to raise their values were strength and defense.

Defense is related to physique and seems to be difficult to improve.

The Spirit and Intelligence attributes were both over ten thousand, and the Defense attribute was just under two thousand.

Without much hesitation, Jack added all of his free attribute points to the defense attribute.

This makes the defense attribute 1965.

After doing this, Jack opened the package called Subspace again and looked at it.

The so-called Subspace is the item bar that belongs to the players.

Subspace is bound to the player and crumbles upon Death.

That is, all dead items drop.

There are only two things in there.

A small scroll, about ten centimeters long, that's a privateering license.

The other item was a Wanderer III laser pistol.

[Personal space is about to crash; countdown: 20, 19... are you in the game?]

Jack was looking at the item bar when the prompt to enter the game popped up.

The surrounding space also began to crumble as if it were a mirror with cracks appearing.

There was no telling what would happen if he didn't enter the game after the space collapsed, but Jack didn't want to try.

Jack reached out and clicked the yes option with a bit of space in front of him.

[Please select birthplace]

Blue light flickered, and a star map appeared before Jack's eyes.

The entire galaxy is divided into five major star fields.

They are the Sun, Misty, Stormy, Far East, and Peaceful Star Domains.

With one look at the division of the starfield, Jack's mind just sputtered.

It's really a World Domination online version,

Without thinking too much, Jack chose the Far East Starfield.

Although, among the five major star fields, the Far East Star Field was the most dangerous.

But his starting point was already far beyond others, and the more dangerous the place, the higher the chances.

In the next instant, in personal space, Jack's body suddenly dissipated into a white light.

All Jack felt was a flash before his eyes, a blinding white light that prevented him from seeing.

But soon, the white light dissipated.

When the space around him was visualized, Jack found himself in a narrow metal alley.

Both the walls and the floor looked rusty.

Water was still dripping from a corner not far away, the ticking sound loud in the dimly lit hallway.

Looking upwards, higher ceilings are visible beyond the alley.

Glancing down at what he was wearing, Jack realized that the game world was a perfect replica of what he wore in reality.

Looking forward and back, Jack headed out of the alley.

It wouldn't be in the lower levels of one of the nesting capitals!

In the hallway of the alley, Jack stopped and looked from side to side.

Beyond the alley was a rusty-looking metal corridor that led nowhere.

The corridors were only a little more spacious than in the narrow alley.

But it's only a little bit more spacious.

No newbie quests, like hints or anything?

Jack, who didn't know what to do, was a little overwhelmed.

This is the reason that there will be newbie quests to guide the player through the game world bit by bit.

Jack opened his character panel to see that there was nothing there.

Hello? Anybody there?

Jack, who was in the hallway, suddenly yelled.

The sound swept vastly toward the end of the corridor in both directions.

The end of the corridor remained silent until the echoes faded.

There was nothing for it but for Jack to turn right and walk forward.

Ten minutes later ...

Is there no end to this corridor?

Walking quickly down the long corridor, Jack muttered in his mind.

The game can be too real to be fun.

Also, since there are levels, there are monsters to be had.

Could it be that the place he was in was something like a newbie village?

But there's not a single person here, so how can it be a newbie village?

Wait, what's that?

Jack, who was walking briskly through the corridor, suddenly changed his face.

He stopped and pricked up his ears as if listening quietly for something.

Jack could feel that he was hearing very well now.

As to whether it was an illusion or not, Jack didn't know; he just had this feeling.

The voice came from just ahead, at the end of the hallway.

There was the clunking and clanking of machinery and a whine like a wind whistling.

The sound was disorganized, without any charter or rhythm, and was a mess.

Sounds came from all directions, and the exit of the corridor was like a loudspeaker picking up sounds from all directions.

Moving on, Jack quickened his pace.

After about a few hundred more meters forward, the end of the corridor was finally reached.

This is ...

Jack, who had stepped out of the hallway, looked disappointed.

Outside the corridor was a huge cylindrical space similar to a ventilation shaft.

The walls are lined with stairs that spiral up and down.

Looking upwards and downwards, you can still see the huge fan that rotates.
