Chapter 365 (2/2)
“Your luck isn’t ordinary.”
As the two people talked, several notification windows popped up. Thanks to this, Grid knew what needed to be done here.
[Your level has dropped to level 23.]
[A mission will be created.]
[31st Island]
The place and situation of the quest that you failed the most number of times has been 100% created.
Overcome the trial and jump past your previous self!
Mission Clear Conditions: Succeed in the quest that you failed in the past.
First Clear Reward: 600 Challenger Points.
First Clear Reward 2: The rewards you obtain with the quest.
[The mission will start 30 minutes from now.]
“The quest I failed the most times?”
It was difficult to pinpoint what quest he failed the most number of times. A golden exclamation point appeared on one side as Grid tried to recall the memory. It was a quest window.
[Participate in the Reserve Forces Training]
Level of Difficulty: Regular quest.
Patrian is a fortified city built for the purpose of controlling the Gauss Kingdom.
Players who belong to Patrian are obliged to do a certain amount of training as part of the reserve forces.
Train under the instructor at the training ground.
Quest Clear Condition: Get a passing grade for each training course.
Quest Reward: Depends on the passing rank.
“Ah, this quest.”
It was a quest that repeated once a month. They would be trapped in the barracks if they refused to do it. It was an obligatory quest that users belonging to Patrian had to perform. Of course, Grid also participated in the full time training.
However, there was a problem.
‘I never got a passing score…’
He didn’t know how many times he failed. It couldn’t be helped. The significance of the military training was to raise usable soldiers. It was natural for Patrian to endeavor to nurture reservists to a level that could be used. The problem was that Grid didn’t respond to Patrian’s efforts.
‘The training was too difficult.’
Patrian’s reserve army training was largely divided into weapons training, formation building training, and squad training, which was very difficult.
‘There were many people besides me who didn’t receive a passing mark.’
In fact, there were less than 10 people, but Grid’s memories showed that there were hundreds of them.
***
Name: Grid
Class: Warrior
Level: 23
Health: 1,161Mana: 45
Strength: 187Stamina: 40
Agility: 22Intelligence: 15
Skills Possessed:
Beginner Sword Mastery Lv. 2, Beginner Armor Mastery Lv.2, Charge Lv. 1, Full Swing Lv. 1.
“The stats distribution is too ignorant.”
The balance of stats was too bad. He wanted to curse his level 23 self.
‘It’s all about strength except for a little bit of stamina.’
His agility and intelligence was stagnant as the basic ability of a warrior. His attack speed and evasion were the lowest, and he didn’t have the mana to use skills. Using the Charge or Full Swing skill once would deplete all his mana.
The items he had:
[Blunt Greatsword]
Attack Power: 32~71
Attack Speed: -3%
[Old Skull Helmet]
Defense: 2
[Old Orc Armor]
Defense: 13
[Old Goblin Shoes]
Defense: 2
‘The items are also messed up… No, isn’t it better to have set items from one type of monster?’
How had he been playing the game in the past?
‘This is why I only reached level 80 despite playing the game for a whole year… No, I only got to level 79.’
He could only sigh. In his current state, it was doubtful if he could clear the quest.
‘I just need to focus on the training and it will be good.’
It was a matter of technical training and sparring. He could handle the sword at a good level and was also decent with the spear due to Pon. Therefore, he was only worried about archery. He didn’t have Bow Mastery and his agility was the lowest, so he wondered if he could hit the target with a single arrow.
‘I am also worried about not being able to use skills properly during the spar.’
Sticks looked at Grid’s anxious expression and became nervous.
“Is the difficulty of this trial so high? Don’t tell me…! This time it is a dragon…!”
He was suffering under a curse from a dragon, so his dragon trauma was quite strong.
“Don’t worry. You won’t meet a dragon when you are with me.”
Grid reassured Sticks and took a deep breath.
‘Now believe in me.’
Since becoming Pagma’s Descendant, he went against many enemies that ordinary users couldn’t overcome alone. Now he would overcome his past self.
“Let’s go.”
Grid braced himself and entered the training camp. The instructor saw him and shouted.
“There you are, Blue Falcon! You’re late again! Hurry up, hurry, you bastard who is weaker than a dog!”
“…!”
Blue Falcon! ()
It was an embarrassing nickname that he had erased from his memories. Grid’s face distorted like a demon as he stared at the instructor. The castle’s training instructor. The old man who ignored him and harassed him to death!
‘I might’ve had no experience at that time…!’
But not anymore.
‘I will make shock appear on your face!’
Grid’s determination was boiling up.
