The Newbie Life of a Former Ranker Chapter 2

2

A tutorial zone where users who have completed character creation gather.

When Dojin opened his eyes there, a woman wearing a blue uniform approached him.

“Welcome to Rostania. This is the ‘gateway’ to help warriors who have crossed the border quickly adapt to Rostania. And I am instructor Rami, who will help you smoothly complete the tutorial and become a full-fledged adventurer.”

Rami bowed his head with a stiff and reserved attitude like a military officer and pointed to one side.

“I’ll explain the training process in a nutshell. When you go there, you will be given a training weapon. Choose the weapon you want, receive it, and then follow the instructions to go to the training ground. Then, the first training and ‘quest’ you must complete is to take down the three training dummies there.”

As soon as Rami finished speaking, a quest window appeared for Dojin.

[Quest]

Let’s knock down the scarecrow!

Rating: Tutorial

[The beginner’s opponent has always been a scarecrow. However, it would be better not to let your guard down.]

Objective: Kill 3 training dummies in the Gate Training Grounds.

Rewards: Experience, 3 Beginner Healing Potions, Beginner Weapon

Rami continued speaking after seeing Dojin’s focus fixed on the air.

“What you see before your eyes right now is a ‘quest’. It is a mission given to those who can hear the whispers of the world. If you solve it and contribute to the world, you will receive an appropriate reward.”

Do you have any other questions? Dojin gave a short answer to the following question.

“No, that’s enough.”

How could there be any questions?

The knowledge or information gained here was of no use to Dojin.

All Dojin cares about now is quickly executing the growth plan he has planned out in his head.

To do that, I had to finish the tutorial quickly.

So, Dojin headed in the direction Rami pointed without delay.

“First come, first served! Don’t push the person in front of you! If you cause a commotion at the gate, you may be punished! Let go of each other’s collars!”

But the place was already crowded with users who were already taking the tutorial.

Users are fighting each other by grabbing each other by the collar, arguing over whether or not they’ve done something wrong, and an NPC dressed like Rami is trying to control them with a tired look on his face.

I even thought that it would be more orderly in front of the store if there was a banner saying “99% discount on 100 ○○ pads only.”

“It wasn’t like this back in my day… … .”

Dojin instinctively took a step back in front of the dizzying chaos that was just looking at him.

Looking at the way he was turning, it seemed like if I jumped in there, it would take at least 30 minutes before I could even hold the handle of a training weapon.

‘What should I do?’

Dojin, who wanted to finish the tutorial as quickly as possible, was worried.

I wondered if there was a better way.

‘The tutorial order is clear… … .’

Take the training weapon and knock down the dummy.

Return the training weapon you used to the instructor.

Receive the quest reward.

After that, you hear some additional explanations and go to the instructor in charge of the Forest of Trials, the final test.

‘What I’m receiving now is a weapon that I’ll have to return anyway, right?’

In other words, training weapons are a means, not an end.

The goal was to kill the scarecrow and complete the quest.

The argument was that if you can deal with the training dummy with your bare hands, there’s no need to waste time and suffer through all that chaos.

Dojin, having reached a conclusion, changed the direction of his steps.

Towards the portal leading to the training grounds where the scarecrow is.

at that time.

“I’ll explain the training process in a nutshell. If you go to the soldiers you see over there, you will be given a training weapon… … .”

Dojin caught Rami’s eye as she was repeating the same lines to another trainee.

Her eyes widen.

It had to be that way.

Would you not be surprised if you saw a crazy guy walking, or rather running, to a training ground with a scarecrow set up with his bare hands?

‘Oh, crazy!’

Rami, the responsible instructor, instinctively ran and grabbed Dojin.

“What are you doing! You’re trying to enter the training grounds without even being given a training weapon! Even though it’s called a scarecrow, it’s still some kind of golem that moves with magic!”

Although Rami spoke in a scolding tone, Dojin actually looked annoyed.

“Do you really need to be armed to get in there?”

“Isn’t that obvious!”

Rami screamed in disbelief.

“Then why did you hold me back? I can’t go in anyway.”

“That’s not what I meant! Haa… If you go in here naked like this, you’ll be in big trouble. The scarecrows in the training grounds are definitely not easy opponents.”

“Anyway, it looks like I can go in. Then I’ll just go in. The instructor said the same thing. He told me to try out different weapons so I could use them as a reference when choosing a class.”

Yes, that’s what Rami said.

But how does that connect to the action of going in there with bare hands?

but.

“I plan to become a fighter or a martial artist.”

Dojin ended up connecting them.

“W, Martial arts… …?”

“yes.”

“What are you talking about now! Here, even the martial artists and martial artists use weapons. Get in line and ask for knuckles!”

Rami stretched out her finger and pointed to the Abigyuhuan that Dojin had escaped from.

Dojin’s face showed how powerfully it had stretched, and the wind was blowing.

That means she’s frustrated.

But unfortunately, Dojin had absolutely no intention of wasting his precious time in that hellhole, whether Rami’s lifespan was shortened or not.

“Actually, I can’t hold a weapon. It’s because of my religious beliefs.”

“… … !”

Rami opened her mouth in amazement at the absurdity she could never have imagined.

“Is it possible that Rostania is a place that persecutes individuals for their religious beliefs?”

Dojin, who took advantage of Rami’s confusion to deliver an additional blow, nodded and continued speaking.

“I know that’s not possible. Well then, that’s enough.”

Rami, whose brain had stopped for a moment due to the sophistry, tried to grab Dojin belatedly, but soon slowly lowered her outstretched hand.

‘It might be better for that type of person to get hit hard once.’

If you must have a tough experience, it would be helpful for the author to do it here.

Rami thought.

If it breaks in one or two places, let’s drag it and throw it in the training weapon distribution area.

* * *

The inside of the training ground was also crowded.

A large number of users are scattered here and there, each wielding a weapon of their choice.

The opponent is a moving scarecrow.

“Whoaap!”

A man swinging a sword in a shabby posture.

Losing his balance, he gets hit by the scarecrow’s shield and faints.

“Whoa!”

A woman who loses her balance and falls over while swinging a double-edged axe that is not suitable for her small size.

The scarecrow took advantage of the gap and struck the woman’s back of the head with his wooden sword without mercy.

The woman slowly dispersed into the light and exited the training grounds.

“Eww! What the heck is this scarecrow! Crack!”

Armed with swords and shields, scarecrows were mercilessly beating up fresh newbies who visited the training grounds.

Dojin looked at the sight with pleasure.

‘It’s a bit tough for a newbie to be a scarecrow. I think I had to retry three times at first.’

As you can see, the scarecrows in the tutorial training grounds were not just scarecrows.

Although they are scarecrows in name only, these are all golems made of wood.

Strength and agility are the same as a level 1 player, but they are better with swords and shields.

Since it was born as a golem, it was also sturdy.

This means that for those accustomed to playing virtual reality games where damage is automatically inflicted even if you just swing a sword, this is by no means an easy opponent.

But that’s only based on the ‘newbie’ experience with LOST.

‘Even if I were a wizard, I wouldn’t have the time to be defeated by these guys.’

In his previous life, Dojin was a magician.

He is a deformed magician who was forced to go all-in on attack power and destructive power.

Because of that, I had to live with all kinds of penalties and even earned the derogatory nickname of a glass cannon.

But even under those worst conditions, Dojin was a user with quite a reputation.

Not only in PVE but also in PVP.

One of the reasons why that was possible was.

‘I was the fastest among the magicians.’

It was a close combat ability that was raised without the help of martial arts-related skills.

In short, it means that weaknesses were overcome not through the game system, but through personal physique and control.

Dojin took a deep breath and approached the nearest scarecrow.

Then the bastard raised his wooden sword and shield with his eyes glowing red.

A wooden sword that is dripping with the blood of fans who beat the scarecrow for the last time.

It looks gruesome just by looking at it.

“What’s with that guy? Is he crazy?”

“Why aren’t you carrying a weapon?”

“Are you crazy?”

The users nearby started muttering as they saw people approaching the scarecrow with their bare hands.

But there’s no need to worry about that.

It doesn’t matter whether those guys laugh or not, or look at me with hopeful eyes hoping I get beaten up.

What was important to Dojin right now was not the guys struggling with the training dummy, but the quest monster right in front of him.

Giggle.

As the distance between them narrowed to a certain level, an unpleasant sound came from the scarecrow’s joints.

Direction is right arm and knee.

Dojin reacted immediately.

“Ugh!”

Twist your body to avoid the scarecrow’s honest attacks.

At the same time, the gap narrowed further.

The scarecrow’s counterattack in response was an attack using a shield.

Dojin waited as if he had been waiting for the shield to push him away, but instead he pulled it back.

Then, the scarecrow, who was trying to lean forward to strike the shield, could not overcome his own strength and fell forward.

Clang. Dojin climbed on top of the scarecrow that had fallen with a loud noise.

Squeak- squeak- keek-

The scarecrow tried to escape somehow, but the limitations of the cheap wooden golem’s range of motion were clear.

The brutal beatings continued.

Dojin skillfully controlled the scarecrow’s tantrum and launched a one-sided attack.

However, because he is not wearing a weapon, his attack power is lacking.

There was no problem. You could easily supplement your lack of attack power by using the surrounding environment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dojin grabbed the scarecrow’s head with both hands and repeatedly slammed it into the ground.

The wooden doll’s face hit the floor in a steady rhythm.

Squeak- squeak-

The scarecrow’s limbs twitched, and sounds that should not come out of its body leaked out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every time his face hit the floor and he came back up, his red eyes became lighter.

Gulp.

An unidentifiable, dark liquid flowed from his eyes.

People around who had been watching the scene from the beginning shared the same thoughts.

‘He’s really crazy.’

‘We shouldn’t make eye contact.’

‘You didn’t hear what I said earlier, did you… … ?’

The ridicule towards Dojin had already been completely erased from their minds.
