00054 My older brother has changed —————————————– ——————————-=
While I was sleeping peacefully for a while, I felt someone shaking my body. When I opened my eyes with a sob, Ansol’s clear eyes were looking down at my face. In the twilight of dawn, the landscape of a pitch-black forest comes into view. Perhaps because it was in the middle of the forest, a cold chill came over my entire body. After using my magic power for a moment to circulate the senses throughout my body, I woke up feeling groggy. My head was refreshingly clear and I felt good.
“Is there anything wrong?”
“yes. There wasn’t. “Good night to you, brother.”
Ansol calls me oppa when we are together, but strangely enough, whenever we are alone, he always calls me oppa. She was just a little embarrassed, but she wasn’t so creepy that she didn’t want to hear it, so she didn’t say anything. She bowed her head and when she saw Sol greeting her politely, she realized that she must have been someone’s daughter and that she had received a very good upbringing at home.
After responding to Sol’s greeting with a soft smile and turning to wake up Hyun and Yujeong, I felt a hand pulling my collar. When she turned her head behind her again, Sol was licking her lips with a hesitant look on his face. It seemed like he had something he wanted to say to me. I opened the conversation in as kind a voice as possible.
“huh. Sol. Is there anything you want to say?”
“Brother… me… .”
In response to my question, Sol still avoided my gaze and just looked at the ground. However, he soon bit his lip and raised his head with a solemn determination on his face. I don’t know what on earth he was going to say, but I also tensed up a bit and waited for the next words to come out.
“… pee… want to do.”
“… … .”
“I’m too scared to go alone… “I want to go with my brother.”
“… “And come.”
I shook my head with a helpless expression on my face. But this time, Sol did not back down. Despite my firm (?) refusal, Sol bit his lip and did not let go of his grip on my clothes. The moment I was about to scold him for how long he was going to be a fool, I saw Sol’s trembling eyes.
In the end, I decided to take a step back this time. But he couldn’t help but feel suspicious when he saw Ansol. It had been more than three months since he came to Hall Plain, which meant Sol-i was also a twenty-year-old adult. Of course, he looks very young because he has a baby face, but he may also have a mental age, but if you look at the things he does sometimes, he is clearly a child.
I wasn’t the only one who found her behavior strange at times. At first glance, she might not know it, but as she had been with me, Yujeong, and Sol for some time, it was clear to her that her behavior was strange. In the past, Yoo-jeong had asked Ahn Hyeon openly, but Ahn Hyun seemed to be avoiding her answer. It seemed like she wanted to hide something about Sol. After promising myself that I would ask again when I get the chance, I walked away from the camp with Sol.
“This should roughly be enough.”
“… … .”
“Sol?”
“Brother… “Can’t you leave me and go somewhere else?”
“I’ll stay still. “Don’t worry, just go do your business.”
“I will definitely believe it. Really. “You promised.”
Sol received the promise two or three times and then took his hand off my clothes with an anxious look on his face. As I watched the brush sneaking inside, I took out the tobacco from my arms and put it in my mouth. As I lit it and took a sip, I heard the sound of clothes being taken off coming from the bushes inside. Soon I heard the crunching sound of Sol urinating and I felt awkward. Is she not even embarrassed in front of a man? Or maybe I don’t even look like a man. Either way, it wasn’t a very pleasant fact, so I just sucked down the innocent tobacco.
At the beginning of the year, when one of the smokers was almost completely burned out, the sound of urinating gradually became less frequent. And soon, the sound of Sabak walking on the grass was heard. Sol saw me waiting quietly in my seat, and when I saw her eyes brighten to the point where I could see them, I thought it was fortunate.
“Thank you.”
“Ugh. You’re just being really foolish. If you keep doing that, I can’t use it.”
“lol. “I’m sorry.”
As I was about to turn around after lightly hitting the kid who was wondering what was so good, Sol was thrown into my arms. Seeing Ansol suddenly being held in my arms, I unconsciously dropped the tobacco I was holding. Why is he suddenly aggressively attacking me? Sol, probably enjoying seeing my embarrassed face, pressed her face against his chest with a kind face.
“Brother.”
“Yep?”
“to be honest… “My brother was a little scared yesterday.”
“… okay?”
Was it like that? I thought it was a bit annoying, so I stabbed him in the neck with a knife, which seemed cruel. Still, Sol’s face and body, currently held in my chest, were not shaking, so I quietly waited for his next words. Sol, who enjoyed my embrace for a moment, eventually spoke in a cautious voice.
“but… My brother is always strong and kind. If it weren’t for my brother, I would probably… .”
I sighed inwardly as I saw Sol trailing off and closing his eyes, as if it was difficult to continue speaking. However, it was also true that she felt strange right now as he held her.
The female user I am currently embracing is a famous user who will later awaken as a priest of radiance. Her prestige was so great that there were rumors that she had taken Ansol to the Odin Clan, a gathering of top users across the entire continent.
Although I worked hard in my own way, it was true that I was no match for my reputation or my own abilities. Ansol was a user far above my level at the time, and the fact that he was now being held and relied on by me made me feel like a strange feeling was literally taking over my entire body.
Guided by that feeling, I unconsciously hugged her with both arms. Sol took in her breath as if she was surprised by my actions, and then I saw her face gradually becoming warmer. I whispered softly, my left hand stroking her back and my right hand stroking her ebony hair.
“Maybe I should have just spared that female tramp yesterday… ? So that’s why I’m scared… ?”
Sol shook his head vigorously at my words. That made my heart tingle, but I secretly smiled because I got the reaction I wanted. Sol seemed to like my touch, but her initial anxious face disappeared and she opened her mouth with an occasional smile on her face.
“Ugh… no. I won’t be scared. Hyun-i oppa said that. If we want to survive, we have to do like Su-hyeon. Everyone, stay alert. He said if it weren’t for him, we would all be dead… . Just stick close to your brother and do whatever he tells you to do… That’s how much I want to trust you, my brother. So, your brother… “Please don’t abandon me.”
is it. Did Ahn Hyun say such an amazing thing? This meant that I had now firmly established myself in their hearts. If the children’s attitude up until now had been one of blind will, it changed to a firm faith upon entering the pitch-black forest.
“I won’t throw it away. And there is something wrong with what Hyun said. Rather than just doing what we are told, we want everyone to think together and work hard. Such a fool… .”
“i know. I know. but… “Even in times like these, I want to do this for a while.”
I felt like I wanted to hug her a little more, but I couldn’t control that much, so I slowly took her out of my arms and opened my mouth. But Sol ignored my touch, rushing her face back into her arms and nodding her head vigorously.
“I will work hard too. Because I will work really hard to satisfy my brother… therefore… .”
“therefore?”
“Can’t you stay like this a little longer?”
“… … .”
“Please pat my head too. “Hurry up.”
Sol seemed to have understood my unspoken words as an affirmation, rubbing her face again and cheering me on. Looking at her like that, I shrugged her shoulders and calmly raised her hand. Still, starting today, I felt like Sol’s perception of me had changed significantly.

“How are you feeling?”
“It’s easy. When I woke up today and checked, my durability level increased by 1. I think my body’s recovery is so great that I wonder if it’s really my body. “I also feel more flexible than before.”
“Hehe. Since it is a melee class, pay attention to its durability ability. Otherwise, you will become a body of glass.”
“Kkkkkk.”
Ahn Hyun continued to smile happily, as if he was satisfied with the fact that his abilities had increased. She could see Yujeong pouting her lips next to her, but it still seemed good. And when she saw Hyeon like that, I felt a little envious of her too. I also want to increase my physical strength… .
If you sustain an injury that far exceeds the limits of your abilities, your durability may decrease. However, if you exceed it slightly, or are injured just below the limit, you can increase your durability value, assuming the treatment is perfect. Just as a bone that is broken cleanly becomes stronger when it comes back together, the body adapts to the injury to some extent.
I left the camp, leaving behind Anhyeon, who was showing off her healthy body by swinging the window. And after a quick breakfast, we set off again for the alchemist’s dungeon.
I was certain that the traces I saw at the entrance to the pitch-black forest were not those of vagabonds. Because currently I was following their tracks. It seemed like I had gone quite deep as the traces continued without disappearing.
From the mid to late parts of the Jet Black Forest, it was a place that even most users could not easily see. Nevertheless, the fact that they went too far inside meant there was a high probability that something was going on. I was guessing that it was the ancient alchemist Vivian’s dungeon.
“I feel like a bunch of spooky things are coming today too.”
Ahn Hyeon, who had been on the right guard, slowly walked forward and spoke. It seemed like he was probably talking about yesterday’s battle with a pack of wolves. I opened my mouth as I saw Hyun still keeping his guard up even as he spoke.
“That battle was definitely the most dangerous. It’s not rare for them to come out in groups like that, but it’s not common either. Anyway, when we return from the exploration, let’s get your gloves first.”
“Gloves… ? ah. Defense? I’m wearing the basic armor I received from the User Academy… .”
“It’s leather, so you can’t expect that much of a defensive effect. Since he is a spearman, chain armor or scale armor would be better than plate mail as they are easier to operate in.”
“aha. I know a little bit about weapons, but I don’t know much about armor. Well, considering the battle yesterday, I think it would be good to have it. The more you don’t defend yourself, the more you can swing your spear… But wouldn’t it cost a lot of money to buy all those things at once?”
I shook my head at Hyun’s words. Most of the truly famous and proper armors cost a lot of money that beginner users cannot afford. This is because, let alone buying armor, they are too busy trying to make ends meet. As we set out on our first expedition, acquiring new weapons would seem like a huge luxury to other beginners.

“I guess so. Unless you hit the jackpot, there is no guarantee that you will earn a certain amount of income even if you become an experienced user. In the end, from now on, I will have to save money wisely and take care of it one by one.”
“If you don’t mind, I also have the GP I received during my rite of passage, so don’t worry too much.”
“Dismissed. As I’ve said before, it’s really a last resort. Always save your GP. I’m sure I might have something to write about later. “For now, let’s just do it the way we have it.”
“Ugh. “Wherever you go, money is an issue.”
I smiled and nodded as I looked at Hyun, who was already talking like an old man as he licked his lips. Among the current group, Hyeon was the one who was most adapted to the hole plane. I appreciated the fact that he said armor was necessary during battle because his defenses were weak and that he thought about the distant future.
After chatting with Hyeon for a while, I activated my senses and my third eye. The traces of the users who entered first were getting thicker, so it seemed like we could catch up with them as early as tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Of course, I had no intention of doing anything like them. If we were lucky enough to discover it first, we would of course claim the rights. Existing users probably know their right to first discovery. However, even if I thought I wouldn’t find it first, I wasn’t particularly worried.
The original alchemist’s dungeon is currently unknown. I remembered that two years later, I uncovered the Screaming Cave, and that it was revealed a few months later. However, if the caravan that entered earlier discovers the alchemist’s dungeon. And if my prediction was correct, they would soon be massacred. There was a high possibility that they would fail to conquer the dungeon and everyone would be wiped out inside.
If they discover it first, they can just take a step back. If you settle down near the dungeon, wait a few days, and then go in, you will see them turned into corpses. Rather, if you take care of some of the traps and monsters at the entrance, it may be easier to enter later. Also, if you take care of the equipment they have, you can make quite a bit of money.
After completing various calculations in my head, I began to move my feet even more busily. I wanted to quickly clear the dungeon and then explore the ruins laboratory and the Screaming Cave. The kids just followed behind me as I increased my speed without even knowing what was going on.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hello. This is Ro Yujin.
Hyun and Sol’s thoughts are changing little by little. Now only Yujeong remains… .
What is Sol-yi’s hidden behind-the-scenes story?
Please look forward to the future. 🙂
『Reripple』
1. CrossDie: Congratulations on first place. As expected, you took first place again as a famous first-time winner(?). Hehehe.
2. Human life: Yes! I will continue the series without forgetting my original intention. Thank you for always working hard to leave comments. 🙂
3. Eindze: I hope you enjoy watching episode 54… . (__)
4. GradeRown: Ahaha. You might think so. There is a big difference in Soohyun’s attitude between the first time and now. It is true that there is a certain sense of disconnect, and it was intended that way. You can think of your true self that you sometimes see as your original personality. And I hope that the question of physical strength will be resolved through this episode.
5. Fantasy: In terms of the story that will unfold in the future. That’s correct. The reason we kill vagabonds is because there is a possibility that they might become a nuisance if left alive. I read the content again, and I definitely felt like the chatter was annoying and killed me. ah… and… Yeoncham… Um. (slap!)
6. kiacel: The sense of disconnect was intentional, so I would appreciate it if you could keep an eye on the progress going forward. And I definitely need to pay more attention to the presence of my colleagues around me. Thank you for your valuable advice. 🙂
7. Neisha: You might think so. However, already through the rite of passage and user academy, Soohyun has proven his
8. Amhyangin: There is a part mentioned in the previous episode, not today’s episode. The kids told Soohyun about GP, but they told her to save it for now. You probably missed reading it because it lasted only two or three paragraphs. 🙂
9. 15420011: Yes. Kids are smart. Soo-hyeon was angry because they were able to handle the situation well, but they were just not doing their job. If you had said something like “I killed someone” or “Isn’t that too much?”, I would have literally confirmed that I learned nothing. Soohyun must have exploded that much.
10. Blamy: Thank You. Thanks to your supportive comments, I am typing. Hehehehe.
I always read all the comments over and over again. I hope you don’t feel too disappointed that it’s not on Riripple. If you have any questions, please send me a message and I’ll answer! (Please leave a lot of comments! And recommendations…☞☜)
Well then, I will leave for today.
I hope you can always read my writing with a comfortable mind.
Selection, recommendations, comments, criticism, and questions are always welcome.
fantasy,
