Chapter 4

Opening the old door, the owner greeted me.

“What brings you here?”

“I came at the request of the training center instructor.”

“Hooh, so you’re the person who’s going to help me. I was in a hurry anyway, so I’ll get straight to the point. Get me 10 pieces of stray dog meat within 30 minutes.”

The quest was updated.

[Stranger’s Adventure 2]

[Obtain 10 pieces of stray dog meat within the time limit]

[Success: Experience, Gold, Linked Quest]

[Failure: None]

[Do you want to accept the quest?]

“I’ll be waiting.”

Muhyuk left the butcher shop.

After waiting 5 seconds, he re-entered the butcher shop.

Then Hansen’s expression brightened.

“Hmm? You’re already here?”

“Yes, here’s the stray dog meat.”

“Oh, that’s 10 pieces! Thank you!”

“Is there anything else I can help with?”

“Of course. Would you go to the apothecary on the other side? The owner there is Ralph, a friend of mine, and it would be good if you could help him.”

The quest was updated again.

Muhyuk nodded and left the butcher shop, heading to the apothecary.

The owner, Ralph, greeted Muhyuk warmly.

“You came on Hansen’s recommendation?”

“Yes.”

“I needed deer antlers, so this is perfect. It’s a material to be used as medicine, and I must get it by tonight. I need 10, is that possible?”

“Of course.”

After accepting the quest, he left the apothecary.

He waited 5 seconds and went back in.

“Why are you back?”

“I got the deer antlers.”

“Already?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm, let me check.”

Muhyuk handed over 10 deer antlers.

Ralph smiled brightly.

“Thank you so much!”

In that way, he was asked to get rabbit skins from the repair shop and goose eggs from the poultry farm.

Of course, he had obtained them in advance, so he could clear them right away.

In fact, it’s not an easy quest if you don’t know the information.

The difficulty of the quest itself is not difficult, but because there is a time limit, the probability of failure is higher than you think if you don’t have information.

Because of that, the existence of the title will not be known until three months later.

Of course, not everyone gets the title when that time comes.

Because the level limit for this quest is 10.

Muhyuk broke that quest now.

It was an achievement made in less than a day of logging in.

Now it’s time to get the reward.

He headed to the training center instructor who gave the quest.

“Hmm? It’s you.”

“Yes, I’ve finished what you asked me to do.”

“Ah, I’ve heard the story. My friends have been praising you a lot.”

“Thank you. It wasn’t that difficult…”

“Haha, it wouldn’t have been easy. Anyway, thank you. I’ll ask you from time to time if there’s anything difficult in the future.”

“Yes, but…”

“Something?”

“Is there anyone else who has helped you like me?”

“Ah, of course there is.”

“How many people are there?”

“Three people including you.”

Two people excluding me…

There weren’t that many.

One or two hundred people in the entire continent?

Then how many of them passed the second training center?

The condition for the second training center is to clear the first training center.

And the level must be exactly 50.

Those are the two conditions. Considering such difficult conditions, Muhyuk estimated that there would be only about ten people.

Hmm, then…

The thought was short.

Because a message popped up.

[You have cleared the ‘Training Center Linked Quest’]

[You have acquired experience]

[‘Fame’ increases]

[You have acquired the ‘Title’ as a reward]

Acquisition of the title!

His fist clenched tightly.

“Good job.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Muhyuk greeted him and left the place right away. He checked the title in a secluded place.

[Title]

Beginning of Adventure

-All stats +1

Muhyuk almost cheered without realizing it.

“Huu…”

Even though he already knew it, joy lingers when he actually gets it.

After taking a deep breath and calming his excitement, he looked at the title again.

It is a title that increases all stats by one.

Not only basic stats but also special stats.

Even if you pass the beginning and enter the middle and late stages, its usefulness will never lose its light.

While he was engrossed in hunting to reach level 10, a huge phrase that blocked his view suddenly appeared along with a warning sound.

[It has been 11 hours since you logged into the game. Please take a break for stability. Please note that if one more hour passes, you will be forcibly logged out.]

Current level 9.

If he catches a few more wolves, he will be 10.

And if he does the first job change, he will be able to summon the long-awaited Skeleton.

However, it seemed that he would have to postpone that joy a little due to the alarm that just popped up.

Okay, let’s take a break.

“Logout.”

When he returned to reality, his body felt stiff.

“Ugh…”

He hurried out of the Capsule.

When he stretched, a cracking sound rang from his whole body.

While stretching by turning his waist from side to side, his lower abdomen started to ache slightly.

He stopped and headed to the bathroom.

After solving his physiological phenomenon, he felt hungry. It felt like his stomach was sticking to his back.

He hurried to the kitchen, took out a low dining table, and spread it out.

He took out the side dish containers from the refrigerator and placed them on top, then took a large bowl filled with rice and chopsticks and took his seat.

He used his chopsticks to take a mouthful of rice and then tore off a piece of kimchi and put it in his mouth.

Crunch, crunch.

Is hunger the best sauce?

The rice bowl was empty in an instant. Thinking that it was really delicious, he took another bowl and ate it.

“Whoa.”

He could see the world properly.

He’s feeling a little better now.

Illusion already came to mind.

But he couldn’t log in right now, so he turned on the TV to relieve his boredom.

[Currently, a little over 3 months after Illusion opened, the level of the number 1 Ranker is said to have reached a whopping 52. When you reach 50, you can do the second job change…]

It was news about Illusion.

He turned to another channel.

[Too slow experience gain! Are there any loopholes to break through?]

It was the same.

What about other places?

[Cash transactions using the Illusion site have recently reached over a thousand in the last 10 minutes. The market price is 10,000 won per 1 Gold…]

Everywhere he turned, it was Illusion.

Still, he was interested in the market price.

100 Bronze is 1 Silver, and 100 Silver is 1 Gold.

Currently, Muhyuk has 10 Gold, so it can be seen as 100,000 won in cash.

The market price will remain for a while.

He switched to another channel.

[Amid the creation of programs that can intensively report on Illusion as a special feature…]

He knew everything.

As his interest quickly waned, the thought of wanting to log into the game dominated his mind.

How many minutes have passed?

Exactly 30 minutes had passed.

That’s it.

The waiting time he had been waiting for was over.

Swish.

He got up and lay down in the Capsule.

Shall we log in now?

The world went dark.

Light burst out.

[Welcome to Illusion.]

The mechanical sound stimulates the eardrums.

At the same time, the body descended downwards.

No, should I say the world is rising?

Anyway, when he stepped on the ground, he was near the Wolf Forest where he had logged out.

Growl…

Just in time, four wolves around him approached Muhyuk.

He hurriedly took out his sword and shield from his inventory.

Even while looking at the approaching guys, Muhyuk was not flustered.

His strength was a whopping 14, and his stamina and agility were 7.

He was focusing on the strength stat, but that didn’t mean his agility and stamina were low.

Normally, a level 9 would have to invest all 8 bonus points in agility and stamina to get that stat.

In order to create that stat purely with level-up bonus points without receiving quest rewards or title effects like Muhyuk, you would have to be level 20.

But Muhyuk created that stat at level 9.

Of course, the iron sword and shield also had an effect, but what was clear was that there was no reason to fear the level 10 monster, the wolf.

Growl…!

The problem is that there are four wolves.

A normal party would have quickly run away.

Wolves originally have a habit of traveling together, but it is rare for four to be together.

Most of them are two to three at most.

But Muhyuk didn’t care.

Three or four.

It’s all the same to Muhyuk anyway.

He stopped thinking.

Let’s focus on the battle.

While quickly retreating, he leaned his back against a tree trunk.

In the meantime, the guys surrounded him.

Now he only needs to pay attention to the rest except for his back.

The four of them narrowed the distance in a semicircle, and at that moment, two wolves jumped up.
