#Episode 6
“Hey, how do you get it now? Hey, Cha Min-jun! “Did your bragging get worse just because you wore a Xenix ring?”
“… … .”
That was the thought of Kim Pan-seo, a blacksmith whose entire body was covered with muscles.
No matter how much Minjun was recognized enough to win a Xenix ring.
Min-jun decided that it would be absolutely impossible for him alone to obtain the C-grade magic stone, which only drops by hunting C-grade or higher boss monsters.
“What if I rescue you?”
“what?”
“If I get it, will you make it for me right away?”
“Look at this guy? Of course, if you have the ingredients, you can make it in a hurry! But you say it as if you will definitely rescue me?”
Minjun hinted.
The activities that the main character did in the original work.
Among them, for the first time, he began to vaguely recall the location where he obtained a C-rank or higher magic gemstone.
“I’ll get it, that magic stone.”
“what? Nim, are you serious?”
“I don’t have time to joke with you.”
Shaking my head-
Panseo Kim still had a calm expression.
It felt completely different from the Minjun he had seen so far.
Leaving aside the sad look in his eyes that he always had, his eyes now seemed full of confidence.
“Is that okay?”
“I don’t know where your confidence comes from… … . If possible, it would be a good idea to get some iron ore. Anyway, if you’re going to enter a gate or dungeon, these are commonly available items. But you’re not serious, are you?”
As Kim Pan-seo said, iron ore was a mineral that could be commonly mined from dungeons or gates.
Min-jun gave Kim Pan-seo a repentant smile as if he had decided something.
Tiring- Tiring-
[Grant the quest.]
Quest: Blacksmith Kim Pan-seo’s request, you need materials to make a useful bow.
Materials: C-grade or higher magic stone x1, Kevlar x5.
Compensation: Slight increase in agility proficiency, significant increase in strength proficiency. Grants 40,000G.
[Obtain all materials and provide them to Blacksmith Kim Pan-seo.]
I agreed to Panseo Kim’s words and was given a quest.
Moreover, the reward upon success in this quest was somewhat more generous than the last time.
If I had an additional 40,000 gold, I could purchase other talents and increase my stats.
“Then see you tomorrow. “You can see it before then.”
“what?! Are you really going?! What kind of confidence do you have? hey! Wait a minute.”
Kim Pan-seo hurriedly gave several items to Min-jun with worried eyes.
“I took some potions and some elixir of stealth and put them in. If you see any suspicious guys, drink the elixir immediately and run away. If not, give everything you have to escape from there.”
“That’s a very realistic comment. Thank you, Sasha.”
Minjun checked the items handed to him.
[Inventory]
[General] Small stamina potion
Effect ▶ Heals a small amount of stamina and wounds.
[General] Small amount of magic potion
Effect ▶Refills a certain small amount of magical energy.
[General] Elixir of Stealth
Effect ▶ You can become hidden for 5 minutes and escape the opponent’s sight.
Minjun received a fairly useful item and tapped Panseo Kim on the shoulder.
widely-
“As expected, there is only you.”
Obviously, it was Min-jun’s first time seeing Kim Pan-seo, but he felt friendly, like a friend he had met yesterday.
‘Maybe it’s an unconscious reaction in the brain.’
As I became possessed by the character Cha Min-jun, the memories of the past seemed to naturally become ingrained in me.
If you think about yourself being very shy in this life.
Actually, this was better.
Minjun, who had packed a lot of items, left the workshop immediately.
***
“Sigh! Sigh! “It’s been a while since I’ve been hiking, and I feel like I’m dying.”
A nearby hill located in Bucheon.
Minjun braved the hardships and climbed the steep mountain path.
The reason is.
This is because the gate that the protagonist experienced for the first time was in the mountain where he is currently located.
This gate, which was not yet known to hunters, was nothing short of a golden opportunity for Minjun.
Since the original protagonist discovered the gate around this time, Minjun had to get there one step ahead before another character appeared.
“The main character first discovered magic stones of class C or higher here, so he should be able to obtain them in abundance.”
A C-grade magic stone with a significantly low drop probability.
As such, there was no better place than this place for Minjun to obtain a C-class magic stone. There were few people, and the only person I knew was the main character, who no longer exists here.
“uh! Is that it!?”
When we reached the top of a nearby mountain, we found a black crack.

[First pre-gate]
Difficulty: Level E
Items obtained: Random.
Feature: The combat power of monsters increases exponentially at night. I recommend clearing it before it gets dark.
“found!”
Is this how people who make Simani their main job feel?
Minjun, who seemed to have discovered something truly amazing, screamed on the spot.
Fortunately, because it was deep in the mountain, there were no hikers to be seen, so no one looked at him strangely.
Here, the first pre-gate refers to the state just before monsters appear through the cracks on a large scale.
The appearance of advance gates is so irregular, and initial detection is very difficult, that it is very rare for hunters to discover them in advance.
He immediately checked the standard bow he had borrowed from Kim Pan-seo.
“The elasticity isn’t that bad, and the strings won’t break easily. “Let’s quickly resolve this before it gets dark.”
Although it was Minjun’s first time actually experiencing a gate, he did not feel any resistance since he had also experienced a virtual gate through the database on the basement floor of the library.
‘Cha Min-jun was also a hunter, so it feels like it’s naturally ingrained in me.’
Moreover, the elixir of stealth given to him by Panseo Kim.
Even if a risk arises, he also has an elixir that allows him to remain transparent for a while.
There was no hesitation even in front of the gate.
‘I only believe in myself. There’s a bow, so it’s a game worth trying.’
Just because it’s a pre-gate doesn’t mean there isn’t danger lurking around.
I expected that there would definitely be something called a boss mob, and that the process of reaching it would not be smooth either.
But Minjun had the elixir of stealth as well as stamina and magic potions.
He even had a Xenics ring, which was given only to upper-level classes.
Lastly, the title of national archery representative in this life.
Minjun made up his mind and quickly entered the ‘pre-gate’.
***
[I entered the advance gate for the first time.]
[Currently, 5% of gate clearing is underway.]
Should I say that it felt like I was in a dark cave?
Fortunately, there were torches lit in the middle, so moving forward was not impossible.
Min-Jun had an arrow tied to the string and was fully alert in case of an unexpected situation.
Did you walk like that for about 5 minutes?
I felt a presence somewhere.
Squeak-! Kikluk-!
‘What about those guys?’
A familiar monster appeared before my eyes.
They were all holding a small club, and they were in a group of three.
His height is only about the height of Minjun’s hips?
I saw a long nose and green skin.
“… “It’s a goblin.”
Although they generally have low intelligence, they tend to work in groups.
It was clear that there were more goblins lurking around.
Minjun took out an elixir of stealth from his pocket.
Gulp- Gulp-
[Elixir of Stealth was used.]
[It becomes temporarily transparent.]
[There are 4 minutes and 59 seconds left in the Elixir of Stealth effect.
After ingesting the elixir, Min-jun became blurry, like a ghost.
“5 minutes at most, let’s do it quickly.”
The tied bowstring was pulled strongly.
JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK-
[Skill Hail Shot was used.]
After casting the skill, he aimed the arrow at the target without hesitation.
fault-!
A goblin showing its back.
An arrow pierced his heart from behind and he collapsed on the spot.
Kkeeeeeuk-!
The goblins quickly looked around at the sudden death of their colleague.
However, there was no way Minjun could be seen in hiding.
Meanwhile, this is Min-jun’s first time aiming a bow at an actual moving target.
It’s better to be certain about anything.
Based on his magical power, which had risen one level, he used his skills generously.
They just took out the arrows contained in the tradition as quickly as they could be caught.
[Skill concentration attack was used.]
phut-!
phut-!
Kkeeeeeeeeek-!
Minjun takes his breath away in just a few shots.
I kept aiming my arrows only at the goblin’s head and heart.
On the other hand, perhaps it was because I had already seen two of my colleagues dying right in front of my eyes.
The last remaining goblin began to run away in a hurry.
‘It’s late, you asshole.’
Minjun concentrated even more.
Shuuuk-
Minjun pulled the bowstring stronger than ever.
He let go of the bowstring aimed at the goblin who was running for his life.
Pak-!
Wow!!!!
An arrow pierced straight through the frontal lobe.
The last goblin collapsed on the spot.
[The goblin has been defeated!]
[Skill concentration attack proficiency has increased.]
[Skill Focus Attack Lv 1 -> Increased to Lv 2.]
[Skill Hail Shot proficiency has increased.]
[Skill Hail Shot has been increased from Lv 1 to Lv 2.]
[300 gold has been obtained.]
[KevlarX3 has been acquired.]
“!!”
[General] Kevlar
▶A lightweight yet fibrous material used in a variety of materials. The advantage is that the material is strong and tough.
▶It is mainly used to make armor and weapons.
At the same time as acquiring Kevlar, which is quite easy to obtain.
Before the elixir of stealth expired, Minjun killed all three goblins in an instant.
“It’s clear that you can quickly level up your skills in the low-level section. Gold is still a long way off.”
As with regular RPG games, once the skill proficiency level was above the standard, the skill level went up.
As the level of a skill increases, its power will increase, but the higher the level, the more difficult it will be to level up.
‘Let’s raise it as much as possible first.’
Meanwhile, Minjun checked how much the effectiveness of his leveled-up skills had increased.
<Concentrated Fire [Lv 2]>
▶Fire toward the designated target.
▶Accuracy increased by 6%. Additional damage increases by 2%.
<Hail Shot [Lv 2]>
▶Fire a whirlwind arrow toward the target point.
▶Ignores climate effects, increases additional damage by 5%.
In addition.
Although the amount is not large, I obtained three Kevlars and up to 300 gold.
For my first hunt, it felt thick.
Of course, it was not possible to purchase any talent in the talent market with the current money.
For Min-jun, who succeeded in hunting his first monster, the situation was not bad.
Rather, I was able to feel the real sense of combat, so I used it as an opportunity to realize that I really am a hunter.
Turp-plop-
Eventually, Minjun approached the out of breath goblins.
Gaining confidence, he pulled out the arrows stuck in the goblin one by one.
It was true that the number of arrows was generous.
Due to the nature of being an archer, the more arrows the better, so it was necessary to take care of even the smallest details.
[Time limit has expired.]
[The stealth effect disappears.]
The duration of the Elixir of Stealth had already passed.
As if nothing had happened, Minjun’s hiding status was immediately lifted.
“It comes back like a ghost.”
For Minjun, who had to keep a certain distance, the Elixir of Stealth was perfect for hunting goblins.
Minjun considered this hunting a warm-up and walked back toward the remaining part of the road.
phut-!
phut-!
Wow!
[The goblin has been defeated.]
[The goblin has been defeated.]
Still, Minjun said he had caught 2-3 goblins without difficulty even without the Elixir of Stealth.
The more you shoot a bow, the more you gain a certain level of sensitivity.
The power of the level-up skill was also upgraded, so it was necessary to save the elixir of stealth if possible.
Minjun passed through numerous crossroads and finally found a huge gate located on the other side of the swinging bridge.
‘There isn’t much left.’
