Customizing (2)

‘Elf… You mean I can become an elf?’

It was an opportunity to transform into a completely new race, not a race that had changed from humans, such as undead or vampires.

With a pounding heart, I immediately used “Customizing”, but the medium seemed to be disposable, so the branch in my hand crumbled and disappeared.

And unlike before, a translucent shape appeared before my eyes.

The appearance of an elf who resembles himself, with black hair, black eyes, and pointy ears.

‘He’s handsome, but in a different way than Heinz.’

Unlike Heinz II, who had a cold and sharp impression, he was a handsome man with a soft and warm feel.

‘···But I’ll just touch it up a little.’

It would be hard to conjure up his real appearance from this face, but he needed to be careful in everything.

Avatars will continue to increase in the future.

Hans is a skeleton so it doesn’t matter, and Heinz II and Harley can change their appearances with their own power.

Heinrich, who had already made numerous connections, couldn’t help it, but Hubert seemed to need plastic surgery sooner or later.

For hours, with extreme concentration, I painstakingly changed my appearance.

With white jade skin, blonde hair and green eyes, she was the very embodiment of the ideal elf created by the craftsman’s heart.

‘You can’t change your gender.’

I checked just in case… but it seems like the skill proficiency is still lacking or other conditions are needed, so it was impossible to create a female avatar.

“It’s not that I regret it in particular… I’m just curious. It also helps me hide my identity more clearly.”

He continued creating his avatar, mumbling excuses that no one was listening to, coughing in vain.

It was time to readjust the initial abilities.

The candidate professions were spirit master and archer, but it was difficult to give up either one.

‘Then you can do both.’

Since it’s not a real game, there’s no problem doing both at the same time.

In fact, both of them were basic qualities of elves.

‘Let’s focus on affinity as our abilities. In order to become stronger quickly, it would be advantageous to be a spirit master.’

Most abilities have been converted to affinity.

Of course, since I plan to also be an archer, I couldn’t reduce my physical abilities much, but I think I can improve those abilities through training later.

‘The recovery power has also dropped a lot, but since the common skill “Super Recovery” remains, it should compensate for it to some extent.’

Since it is a skill that amplifies your recovery power, the effect will be reduced if the base value is low, but it is better than having nothing.

After much deliberation, the elf avatar was finally created.

– Subject name: Harris

-Race: Elf

-Common characteristics: “Mind Hub”, “Persona”, “Super Recovery”, “Clearness Index”

– Individual characteristics: “Child of the World Tree”

-Special Note: Han Seong-hyeon’s seventh avatar. Born as an elf through the branches of the World Tree. The effect of “Child of the World Tree” greatly increases the growth speed of affinity and natural power.

Just like Hans earlier, there was no information about “immunity to instant death” in Harris’s information window either, so it seems that abilities received as special privileges are not displayed in the individual information window.

‘But in person, he looks even better.’

The handsome elf man sitting in front had a gentle smile on his face.

Maybe it was my mood, but I felt like I could smell the fresh scent of the forest around me.

‘I think it’s because it was born through “customization” that even the initial skills seem to have been influenced by the medium.’

It fits the individual’s characteristics too well to be a randomly granted skill.

It’s probably an additional effect of “Customizing”.

This was information that might be helpful the next time I create a new avatar.

But Harris’s expression, which had been smiling gently, began to frown without me realizing it.

It was difficult to control my facial expression due to the unpleasant feeling I had been feeling since a while ago.

“I feel suffocated···.”

It feels like being in a cloud of smoke.

As the eco-friendly air purifier that we had disappeared, the remaining effect gradually decreased and the pungent smell of the outside air began to seep in.

‘You’re more sensitive than I thought.’

Although his body was completely fine, Harris was sensitive to his surroundings.

In the middle of a dry city with no trees other than street trees and a handful of parks.

Just existing here felt like suffering.

‘Is it because I got used to this environment that my body’s natural affinity has decreased?’

Since there was no benefit to being exposed to this kind of environment for a long time, I lifted Harris’ summons for the time being.

Today, the Ja I-Gye Jeon-Seon-Jin was used to send Hans to the Great Hall, so it will be possible to send him to Outerica tomorrow.

‘By the way, Heinrich has finally come to his senses.’

Several hours had passed since I had been engrossed in creating a new avatar, and more than a day had already passed in Outerica’s time…

Heinrich, who had been hospitalized in the treatment room, opened his eyes.

***

“Hmm···.”

“Ah! Sir Heinrich, are you of sound mind?”

As I opened my eyes with a groan, I heard a woman’s excited voice next to me.

“Here?”

“This is the intensive care unit. It’s been a full day since Sir Heinrich came here. I’m glad he’s come to his senses now.”

The puppy-like-looking healer sighed in relief and began examining Heinrich’s body again.

“Considering that you were cursed to that degree with your bare body, your prognosis is very good. Since you have excellent resilience in addition to the blessing of the strong body, I don’t think there will be any aftereffects.”

“That’s fortunate···.”

In fact, it was a script that came out after careful calculations, but Heinrich nodded with a serious expression.

“However, it is still not completely purified, so it needs careful management. I will monitor the condition for about a month···.”

“Laugh~”

A healing priest begins to explain this and that.

He felt suffocated from having to lie still and listen to the story, so he sat up straight.

“Ah! You shouldn’t move around recklessly yet! You’ll be in a lot of pain!”

As she said, the amount of information filtered into “Mind Hub” skyrocketed after just a little bit of movement.

If I had just endured this, I would have rolled around with tears and snot running down my face.

“Ah… It hurts a little, but I can bear it.”

“T-You’re going to tolerate that? Ah… Ah! That won’t do! Lie down, lie down!”

She was momentarily flustered, but finally calmed down after forcing Heinrich to lie down.

“It’s not just the pain that’s the problem. The curse also has a serious mental impact, so for the time being, you need to calm your mind and keep it under control. You’re vulnerable to stress, so even the slightest stimulus can cause a seizure.”

“Well, is that so?”

Of course, I knew that too.

Because it was a curse that was carefully selected from among high-level black magic that had no effect on him.

‘Even the mental contamination of the ‘Heart of the Immortal King’ was blocked with the ‘Mind Hub’, but this is the level…’

More than that, he was more curious about how things had unfolded after he passed out.

When I asked him about it, the healer thought it might cause unnecessary stress, so he just kept repeating that I should rest and not think about anything else.

“I feel so suffocated just lying there. I think I’ll get more stressed out if I just stay like this. Could you explain it to me briefly?”

But due to Heinrich’s continued persistence, she eventually had no choice but to sigh and open her mouth.

“First of all, there are no deaths. It may be due to the barrier of the Great Hall, but it is also largely due to the Immortal King letting his guard down and being complacent. There are many injured people, but they are all hospitalized and receiving treatment.”

And it is said that the punitive force that had been dispatched to the Forest of Demons returned quickly, and the security of the main temple was further strengthened.

Since we have already allowed massive intrusion, it is unlikely that the security level will be lowered for some time.

“The Inquisitors are busy trying to figure out the details of the incident.”

In addition to conducting an on-site investigation to find out how the Immortal King had invaded, local heresy inquisitors were dispatched to the Forest of Demons to determine the truth of the matter.

‘This situation must have put the elves in a difficult position…’

As a result, they ended up contributing to lowering the defense of the main temple.

The church may not have said anything outright right away, but those who had just watched the commotion last night could not help but feel uncomfortable in their seats.

‘Well, once the Inquisitors discover Hans’ secret laboratory, the elves’ grievances will be resolved.’

Because they were quite capable of figuring out at what point Hans disappeared from that place.

“Ah! Sir Heinrich! You’re awake!”

Just then, the saint entered the treatment room and met Heinrich’s eyes.

As she approached him, greeting him with a cheerful face, the healing priest who had been telling her a story bowed his head and quietly walked away.

“How are you feeling? Don’t you need to rest yet? Wouldn’t it be better to get some sleep rather than stay up like this? Should I put you to sleep?”

Heinrich quickly shook his head at the sight of her sitting on the chair next to the bed where he was lying and fussing incessantly.

If he had just stayed still, the saint might actually use her magic to put him to sleep.

“Oh, it’s okay. I’m just going to lie down. It’s nice to hear the story after I passed out. Fortunately, no one died, right?”

She nodded and let out a sigh of relief, wondering if her hasty change of subject had any effect.

“It’s all thanks to Sir Heinrich who chased away the Immortal King before it was too late. It’s a shame that he couldn’t kill him right then and there, but at least we were able to avoid the worst-case scenario of everyone being annihilated right then and there.”

“Isn’t it because everyone worked together? I could never have done it alone.”

“Still! At that critical moment, when I received the blessing and plunged the sword of light into the heart of the Immortal King, it was like a scene from a heroic tale!”

The air between the saintess who was giving a speech with sparkling eyes and Heinrich who was smiling shyly and speaking humbly was softened.

But as things were, that atmosphere didn’t last long.

“I’m on my way back from Lapori. Since things have come to this, I asked you to confirm the location of the Immortal King once again…”

Since Laporido had a rough idea of the situation, he quickly began to re-explore it at the saint’s request.

But as expected, the spirit of the Immortal King, who had been staying in the Forest of Demons until yesterday, had already disappeared somewhere.

“Of course I don’t doubt the Elven Kingdom. Lady Lapori has even received the blessing of silence, and there was no reason to do so in the first place.”

The timing was perfect, but rather than suspecting the elves, it would be better to assume that the Immortal King took advantage of the weakened defenses of the Great Temple to sneak in.

Although the ‘how’ problem has not been resolved at all.

“Oh! I guess I’ve been complaining too much! You’re a patient, so I’m bothering you for no reason!”

“It’s okay. As I said before, it’s much better than just lying around. I’d appreciate it if you could be my conversation partner.”

I was able to obtain a lot of information like this.

After that, they spent time talking about various things before the saint left for work again.

***

It was on the tenth day of Heinrich’s hospitalization that he was able to use the other-worldly transporter again.

《Transmission to Auterica dimension completed.》

Harris was immediately transferred to Hubert, who was staying at Tarak’s stronghold.

And from Hubert, he received the High Elf bracelet, which had been in his possession for a long time but had not changed at all.

“Hmm… It definitely feels different.”

The reaction that comes as soon as you put the bracelet on your wrist.

Perhaps because it was in a state of strong affinity from the beginning, the feeling itself was different from when other avatars wore it.

Because I felt like the natural forces around me were more vivid, and my sensitivity to attributes had also clearly increased.

This was literally equipment prepared in advance for Harris.

‘It’s no different from the final equipment that doesn’t need any further upgrades. It was actually used by the high elves themselves.’

When I was stroking my bracelet with such a happy smile.

It was at this moment, when he was deeply absorbed in the sensation that an unexpected notification came to him.

《The World Tree Looks at Its Child》

“Huh?”

The world tree began to take notice of Harris.
