How to Survive as a Player Chapter 16

#16

The gaze that scanned the skills stopped at <Depth of Love LV.1> and <Depth of Trust LV.1>. It was a skill I had never seen before. A skill that has never been acquired before.

Sehyeon’s fingertips headed towards <Depth of Love LV.1>. She lightly touched it and a small explanation window appeared next to it.

<Depth of Love LV.1>- Active buff skill with passive applied. The attack power of allies increases depending on how much they love and how much they are loved. Up to 12% increase based on current level. (MAX value 6% as much as loved, 6% as much as loved) – Magic power consumption 10 per second. Stamina consumption 3 per second.

Sehyun’s eyes widened silently. Her fingertips, pointing into the air, seemed frozen and frozen. However, Sehyun soon closed her fingertips tightly and this time touched <Depth of Trust LV.1>.

<Depth of Trust LV.1>- Active buff skill with passive applied. The defense power of allies increases depending on how much they trust and how much they are trusted. Up to 10% increase based on current level. (MAX value increases by 5% depending on trust, MAX value increases by 5% based on trust) – Magic power consumption 8 per second. Stamina consumption 2 per second.

It was the best buff skill Sehyun had ever seen while playing Elix. This level was at the L-level level, based on magic stone standards.

However, the standards were not clear. Especially the standard of ‘ally’. What is the standard for the range of allies, what is the limit to the number of people, and what are the standards for recognizing allies.

Actually, rather than being happy, I felt puzzled first. The question is, why did this happen?

The problem was that it consumed a lot of stats and could not be used right away. As of now, if the skill consumes 10 horsepower per second when used, it can only be used for about 3 seconds.

It was a shame worse than not doing anything.

‘Everything else is the same… .’

Other active skills were as expected. Basically things that appeared during LV.1.

Sehyeon grabbed the bow, took out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, and pulled sharply. His hand holding Jhumpi trembled due to his lack of strength, but he held on as best as he could, aimed at the target, and released his hand.

bang-

The arrow stretched out neatly and hit the end of the target. Baek Do-hyun’s cheek twitched. He looked like he was doing quite well.

In fact, the reason Sehyun was able to shoot an arrow was clearly due to Sehyeon’s racial characteristics. This was because the Cheongeum tribe were very good at shooting arrows, and if they hit an arrow, they would hit a hundred arrows. In fact, what Sehyun did was a skill that was not even worthy of praise in the eyes of the Cheongeum tribe.

In terms of archery score, it was equivalent to 1 point. Still, I did pretty well considering it was my first time shooting.

“I just need to practice a little more.”

“Are you gone yet? “You have good physical strength.”

“Someone asked me to meet you at the training center earlier.”

“Why don’t you stop talking nonsense and go get some sleep? “I don’t want to keep seeing your face.”

“Keep your mouth shut and focus when shooting. “Unless you want to go and die tomorrow.”

Sehyeon put the arrow on the bowstring again and pulled hard. His back muscles twitched, and his form improved compared to before. He pulled the bowstring straight to his mouth and let go of his hand. The area hit this time was in the 5-point range.

This is enough.

My fingertips tingled, but it was bearable. Sehyeon pulled out an arrow again and hung it on the bowstring. As I pulled it up to his mouth, he screamed that his arms and back were sore. With his back muscles tightened, Sehyun used his only attack skill, <Purification’s Fall LV.1>.

At first, I just felt like the arrowhead was dazzling. However, at some point, a pure white light shimmered around the entire arrow and began to surround it like a whirlpool. A strong mana energy revolved around the arrowhead.

Sehyun, who had been gritting her teeth, let go of her collar as soon as she felt that it was done. The arrow stretched out quickly and penetrated exactly into the 3-point zone of the target. A strong mana followed suit, causing an explosion with a loud noise, and the solid wooden target disappeared without shape.

Even though he only used the skill and fired one shot, Sehyeon felt extreme fatigue. He deserved it. <Purification Fall LV.1> was an attack skill that sucked up 10 magical power. It was a skill that could only be used in the early stages, and was a relatively growth-weakening skill whose quality deteriorated as the level increased.

When I wiped my sweat and looked to the side, Baek Do-hyun twitched his cheeks and said, “Look at this?” He was making that expression. Sehyun shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Because I’m a little more creative.”

“So you manifested as the weakest form?”

Oh really.

“Elder, why don’t you go get some sleep? “Your dark circles are scary.”

“Is this a growth weakening skill?”

“Yes, as you can see. “It is also a skill that only works at the tower, so it cannot be used in imperial warfare.”

“What a pity. “If it weren’t for the weakening growth, we would have been able to contribute to the development of the empire.”

“I know.”

Sehyun adjusted her posture again. Due to the effect of the training center, magical power quickly filled up and the broken target began to be restored. Today I had to practice my bow all night long. Only then could Jaeyoung Lee be protected, and I could survive.

There are at most 10 magic recovery potions in the inventory, which are initially provided items. It was also a low-quality item that only restored about 10 magic power. The tower had to conserve it as much as possible and use it in battle.

And I had to improve the accuracy of my bow by practicing all night long. At least when combined with skill, you can hit 10 points nine times out of ten.

“go. “Because I can do it alone.”

Baek Do-hyun didn’t say anything. He just stood there, leaning against the door with his arms crossed, and quietly watched Sehyeon.

The positions of the two people did not change during an hour and then two hours. So all night,

The two people did their job without moving from the spot.

Baek Do-hyeon disappeared when the morning sunlight began to seep lightly over the village. In the place where Baek Do-hyeon was, there were only three magical power recovery potions with the meaning of wishing for good luck.

Sehyun lifted it with her bloody fingertips. And he left the training center, tracing his memories of shooting an arrow all night long. Of course he didn’t forget to tuck his wings into his body before stepping out. When the shape of the wing digging into the wing ridge with a crackling sound disappeared, Sehyun was able to see Jaeyoung Lee crouching alone in front of the dormitory.

Perhaps because he needed time alone to make up his mind, Jaeyoung Lee had a heavy expression on his face that was different from usual. However, as Sehyeon approached, he swallowed dry saliva and stood up with a determined look.

“Jaeyoung, my brother doesn’t want you to go.”

“I wish my brother didn’t go too.”

Lee Jae-young said that with a mischievous expression as he looked into Se-hyeon’s golden eyes. Sehyun was wondering what else to say, but then she smiled and slowly stroked Jaeyoung Lee’s hair.

After that, I reached out to him. It means let’s go.

At that time, Sehyun had no idea. What does the determination in Lee Jae-young’s eyes mean, and with what determination did he hold Se-hyeon’s hand?

For some reason, the words I whispered, saying that I liked the cold early morning air that penetrated my lungs, made me feel uncomfortable. Trying to erase her anxiety, Se-hyeon stroked Jae-young Lee’s hair.

I just hope that I can come back safely.

***

At first, yes. I started by making clear statements with the three men who were approaching me. Although all three of them were from the combat world, Se-hyeon clearly made it clear that he had been pushed out, so he did not add much to his words.

Before leaving the village, I said to the village chief Kim Gap-jun, ‘Well, I turned into a scoundrel overnight, tsk!’ When I entered the village, I received greetings from Kwak Jeong-han and Yoon Je-ha, telling me to come back alive.

The clothes were immediately repaired using the system’s unique restoration function. The fact about Sehyun’s wings was hidden along with the restoration.

Jeopuk-

This was my first time officially going out of town. The forest shrouded in fog was gloomy, and the cool chill was eerie. And in front of it, there were three portals blocking the forest path. One was a black portal that allowed you to go to the ‘Tower of Tests’, the other was a ‘dimensional gate’ where residents of other planets came, and the last portal was a ‘white space portal’ where everyone passed through.

“Ooh, can we do it?”

“I am… I don’t think it’s possible… . “You won’t be able to do it.”

“no… Group 2 also came back alive. “We can do it too.”

Ignoring the trembling men, Se-hyeon held Lee Jae-young’s hand and walked towards the black portal. It was a dark color reminiscent of the mouth of a snake. Nevertheless, Sehyeon headed there without any hesitation. The three men who were watching him quickly followed suit.

Beyond the pulling portal, there was a single road with a high wall. Even though it was a single road, it was long enough for 20 adults to barely reach with their arms stretched out.

However, the huge walls on both sides of the road were so high as to the sky that it was difficult to guess the end even if you looked up.

Where the sky should be, there was a black tower of inestimable size. All I could see was black, and I couldn’t even guess what it looked like.

“W-what… This… .”

“Um, that black thing is a tower?”

“I can’t see the blank space! How big is it… !”
