Chapter 10: Crisis, Opportunity, Crisis (1)

Swish! Swish!

As the sun began to set in front of the city gates of Turan, many people lined up to enter the city after finishing their daily work. At the same time, even though seated, a bulky man, whose head was the same height as those standing, was scribbling something down.

Lets see, near the west side of the big blue line, the Forest of Notum is about here. There are wheat fields on both sides along the road, and the gates should I mark them like this?

Tring!

<[Region Information Update - New Area: Turan City, Northern Rodrik]>

Ah, I see.

What I am doing now is storing local information in the system, called mapping. The system didnt even provide us with the basic map, but one can register it by recording their own path or buying a map from a store. Of course, buying one will be more convenient, but it is more accurate to do it as we move, and whenever I have time, I do it since the only map I get through my level is just a vague design of the land.

This turned out pretty good? This much I can just buy some paper and make one map later.

The map registered with the system has rough outlines, roads, and main points for reference. When I first mapped the character I raised before, only this level got displayed with circles, city, and dotted roads, so this is fantastic quality. It was the effect of the high awareness I acquired from the start and the artistic characteristics such as [Twinkling Eyes].

I think I can draw better should I erase it and try from the start?

- Soygaybar : professor, didnt you just say you didnt have time?

- Jokass : he said he is busy. Didnt he say this game is worth every second?

Shh!

I am feeling restless too. But what can I do when so many have to enter the castle?

I lifted my head, which was looking down, and looked at the people.

The child Mandy is pregnant with.

I can live no matter how.

Pass! Next! Please move!

Ugh!

The effect of [Mental Weakness] is like being terminally ill. Regardless of my will, the information acquired through increased cognitions gets shoved into my head.

What? did the cow give birth?

Can live somehow?

Move fast? Why is the guard in a hurry? Suspicious!!!

The alarm constantly goes up in my head at any information it gets. Still, I have learned to separate the crazy stuff from informative stuff based on the conversation of the people, and I know the useless data is as huge as a boulder!

The mapping was the same. If I constantly looked around, my head would explode. Anything is good, so focus on one thing to take in less pain.

Pal!

As soon as I raised my head, I first closed my eyes to ease the pain.

Concentrate, anything to focus on. Uh right, lets make plans for the future.

- takealook : didnt you already do that earlier?

The more detailed the plan is, the better! Lets check if I missed anything!

I tried to erase the hand-drawn map on the ground and then removed my hand as I rubbed the ground with my foot.

Now, lets start with the big ones. First, what do I aim for?

At this level, having goals makes no sense. Like the event I received a while ago, Im unsure what to do or how to respond to a sudden event. However, the ultimate goal is the clearing, which can be considered even now.

I can only think about clearing it but it is tough.

- Speedwagon : it is difficult. To think of clearing the world and the character clear limit too, the timing of clearing those all is a bit of a problem.

- takealook : it makes no sense to think about clearing at all

- Highwaynachoman : if I had to choose between the two, it would be the long-awaited one

The main story for World 3 takes place for about 10 years, from 121 to 130 in Solar Calendar, and the method of clearing is divided into two directions.

A long-awaited questfirst, creating a character and clearing the [Awaited Quest], which occurs according to a set origin, and seeing the character ending.

Take my character as an example. Since he is [son of a fallen knight family], the route corresponds to rebuilding his ruined family and ending it with a cry in front of the family grave. It is easy and fast, and there would be no scenario that calls for destruction.

However, in this case, the player does not intervene in the flow of the world till the end, and humanity will perish, so he cannot receive permission to move on to the next world. In a way, since it is an easy-mode play, the audience preference will be lower, and the streaming revenue will fall.

Tsk! Catch him! Seeing him lie to such a simple question, he must be hiding something.

W-what! Dont put that on me!

It took me a little over 30 minutes to get through there.

Ahem cheer up, man.

We are sorry. We didnt know it was a thing.

They did say that, but they practically dragged this fragile body right away. And as soon as the guards caught me, the flesh in the captured area began to release blood.

W-what! what happened? The charges werent even said. You tortured the man!

Ah, no! I was just tying the rope, and suddenly the blood

This is what I was telling you! I have a unique body!

The guard who saw that had gone pale. As they can see, my body looked fragile, and my face looked old due to that.

They suddenly looked sympathetic to me, even those who were suspicious before. Even though they didnt want to believe it, now they all had to, after seeing the blood dripping on the floor.

I was about to leave after they wrapped the herbs and bandage around the hand that the guard gave when their captain reached out.

What now?

No, I just wanted to give something.

What now

When I looked behind, the guards, too, were glancing to the side. What is this? Were they smiling?

The guard looked slightly embarrassed as he turned his head and coughed several times.

We think a lot differently of you now that we know what happened. With this terrible condition, youre surviving the tragedy of your family and training your body to keep going. It would have been impossible with a will normal people have. I managed to meet a good man after a long time. I want to shake hands.

Ah yes well.

Well, I cant tell him this body has looked like this since the character was created.

I reached out to the guard, who gently touched my hand like a fragile stick. Well, a favor is a favor but I feel bad for some reason! Behind there! That man! Stop making a happy face!

Did you say you came here to be a mercenary? You did well. Turan is always out of people to work. If you cannot find a job in the city, visit the Silver Cry Inn. Can you see the road straight ahead from here? Look to the left and keep walking, and you will be able to find it. It is the largest mercenary union in Turan, so there will be work of people like you.

Tuk!

The captain looked at me with warm eyes and tapped my arms.

Goodbye!

Cheer up!

Do not lose to that curse, boy!

Never give up!

Uhum

Instead of saying anything, Professor just waved his hand.

Tring!

<[Information update: The Guards of Turans affinity towards the player has increased.]>

- Nuru_is_Druig : wow! You man! After the troll, now even the guards got charmed by you!

- Jokass : such a great performance. The faces of the guards are must watch

- Speedwagon : I need to record it. Theres such type of attacks?

+Player Soygaybar donated 500 Shillings.

- Soygaybar : lol we lol find a weird way out lol

- Highwaynachoman : handicapped preferential treatment. I never even imagined. Respect!

F**k

It was the first time I was happy due to the favor of another NPC. No, this is the second one. Notum, too, showed me a kind of favor.

And a thought crept into the mind, Maybe this no-good ugly character actually has a bizarre way to charm others?
