The Newbie Life of a Former Ranker Chapter 25

25

Another night when the sun has set.

Dojin entered the dormitory with his heavy body.

Could it be because I couldn’t rest from the night the ants invaded until night came again?

The fatigue that weighed down my whole body was no joke.

This is because the fatigue from virtual reality, which is forced upon us by the system, is combined with the fatigue from real life caused by long game play.

It felt like I could fall asleep just by leaning against the wall.

But Dojin opened his eyes wide and pushed away the sleepiness that was creeping upon him.

There was still very important work left to be done.

The idea was to use the random trait selection points received as a reward.

[Random trait selection points: 1]

Random trait selection points, as the name suggests, are a growth system that has a system where ‘random’ and ‘selection’ coexist.

When you use points, 5 characteristics will randomly appear among numerous characteristics, and you can choose 1 of the 5 results.

The problem was that many of the features in the random table were considered garbage.

Knowing that well, Dojin decided to empty his mind.

‘Just one. Just one out of five has to be right.’

Don’t expect too much.

Usable characteristics.

That will do.

‘At least something I can write about.’

Dojin, who had been praying to God, Buddha, Allah, and many other gods for a short time, rolled the dice.

A blank space appeared in the air.

Then, smoke like paint dissolved in water began to swim and form letters in the first square.

[New Sword Union]

Dojin’s expression cracked when he saw the completed letters.

From the start, it was because it had a characteristic that would make all classes that could use swords, no, drool.

To borrow an expression used by users, it was a tier 1 trait among the traits that could appear from random trait points.

I would have rather it had trash characteristics.

Dojin was very upset by the appearance of a trait that was dirty but couldn’t be used by him.

How nice it would be if the probability of getting the new sword union was just the 1st tier wizard trait.

When thinking like that, the following characteristics were selected.

[Lion’s Heart]

Dojin’s teeth clenched as he saw the completed letters in the second box.

You can read his mood from the grim, thumping sound.

“…Does this make sense?”

This time, a tier 1 trait for a physical dealer has been revealed.

What are the odds of getting this good trait twice in a row?

What are the chances that those two traits will both come from traits that I can’t use?

Dojin felt dizzy at the twist of fate that was the result.

I was already so tired that I could die, and then I got hit in the back of the head like this repeatedly. It really was no joke, I felt dizzy.

“This is why I never gamble like this.”

It’s not that I don’t like gambling.

Dojin actually liked gambling, where there was a possibility of turning things around with skill and effort.

The pressure and thrill of taking on bigger risks.

The thrill and sense of accomplishment when you overcome all those adverse conditions.

Because those are the kinds of stimulation you can’t get anywhere else.

But this kind of gambling, where the odds are set and you have to leave it up to luck, was one of the things Dojin hated the most.

Although he should be happy if he succeeds, it did not suit Dojin’s temperament to just pray without being involved in success or failure at all.

[Strong body]

It wasn’t until the third time that Dojin got a trait he could use.

It was a decent trait that evenly affected HP, stamina, and abnormal status resistance.

However, since the two traits that appeared earlier were so good, Dojin couldn’t be satisfied with just these traits.

The thought that ‘I just need to be able to use it’ that I had before using the points had long since evaporated.

How can you be satisfied with winning 3rd place in the lottery when you see someone next to you win first place?

[Hands for baking]

But the heavens were indifferent.

Maybe it’s because I only look for it when I need it.

Or maybe I should just find myself, but I’m trying to stab all the gods at the same time.

Even the gods ignored Dojin’s prayers.

What’s really funny is that even “Hands for Baking” is one of the best traits you can get here.

Of course, this assumes that the class is at least cooking-related.

Dojin, who had never had a connection with baking and never planned to have one in his life, looked at the black letters floating in the air with corpse-like eyes.

There’s one last shot left, but what are the odds of hitting the jackpot on that one shot?

‘I’d rather choose Lion’s Heart. You know what? It might help when I’m punching sometimes. Fear resistance would also be useful… … .’

When you are thinking outside the box and preparing your mind to choose an excellent body.

[Mana Heart]

The jackpot has been hit.

“… … .”

Dojin blinked.

Did you happen to fall asleep while rolling this because you were too tired?

So are you dreaming?

No, it’s not a dream.

“… Was this a trait that appeared here too?”

‘Random Trait Points’ and ‘Random Trait Selection Points’ were rewards given to all users very occasionally during large-scale events.

It’s hard to see this normally, but during that season, it was a culture for all users to share information or deceive each other by saying things like, “I failed, I succeeded, I got such a good trait.”

So, Dojin had a rough idea of the appearance table of the ‘random trait selection points’.

But as far as Dojin knows, no one has ever pulled a “Mana Heart” here in the 15 years of LOST.

Not everyone will have shared the traits and information they have gained, so there may be things that are not revealed… … .

I can’t even begin to fathom how many times that would have to happen against such low odds.

“It’s funny that I, the protagonist of an unrealistic reality like ‘I opened my eyes and it was the past’, am talking about probability… … .”

That’s that.

Now was the time to focus on the luck that had overcome astronomical odds.

The union of the divine sword? The heart of a lion? A tier 1 random table?

All of these characteristics are inferior to Mana Heart.

This trait is not only good in performance, but the method of acquisition is also crazy.

You need to transplant a heart made of mana, but the success rate of the surgery is less than 10%, so you have to endure losing money and time every time it fails, as well as experience points due to the death penalty.

But now, if you just make a choice, a meal is laid out right in front of you so that you can get it without taking such risks.

“You did well to live a good life… … .”

They say that if you live a good life, good fortune will come. That saying is true.

Even though I wanted to rest, I felt rewarded for continuing to help because the faces of the people in despair in the ruined village were so vivid in my mind.

Dojin took a deep breath and checked several times to make sure he didn’t make a mistake before choosing Mana Heart.

“Ugh.”

At the same time, a cool, hot, indescribable sensation arose near my left chest.

It was a feeling that occurred as Dojin’s heart changed into a new heart.

“Cough-”

Dojin’s body collapsed.

Even in virtual reality, it wasn’t all that comfortable to have my heart disassembled and reconstructed.

It felt like someone was manipulating my heart and changing its shape at will.

That feeling lasted for several minutes.

[The “Mana Heart” trait has been created.]

The pain near my heart disappeared along with the message that a trait had been created.

But that wasn’t the end of the changes.

Dojin’s body, which had a storage facility that could store more mana, absorbed more mana.

Mana Heart, which gained the ability to refine the mana it received into something purer and more refined, began to spurt clean mana-filled blood from all over its body.

Dojin’s magic circuit also evolved to become stronger, faster, and more efficient by circulating the mana within the circuit.

[Intelligence ability increases by 5 points.]

[Physical ability increases by 3 points.]

Such changes soon manifested themselves as changes in ability values.

A smile spread across Dojin’s lips as he confirmed the changes that had occurred to him in a few lines of text.

‘I think I need to… get some rest now.’

This time, I couldn’t stop the drowsiness that was creeping in.

I fell into a deep sleep as my vision turned pitch black.

Dojindo in LOST, Dojindo in reality.

* * *

When I opened my eyes, it was dawn and drizzle was falling.

It felt strange because it was rainy in the morning when I saw the outside world for the first time in a long time.

‘What’s even stranger is this.’

Dojin clenched and unclenched his right hand, which had a magic circuit engraved on it.

A subtly different feeling.

I tried making fire at the tip of my finger.

Hwaruk.

Consume mana faster and complete magic faster.

If I just focused a little, I could feel the mana in my blood gushing out throughout my body.

All those sensations felt good.

“Good.”

Dojin, who blurted out his thoughts, enjoyed the quiet dawn and did his work.

“analysis.”

[Interpretation begins.]

All the magic recorded in the Book of Truth has been interpreted.

As Dojin’s abilities as a magician grew beyond recognition, his interpretation rate rose sharply.

Most of the most frequently used 1-star spells recorded an interpretation rate of around 20 percent.

After testing, I found that 1-star magic can now be completed in less than a second.

2-star spells that are learned relatively recently and used less frequently are between 8% and 9%.

The highest level of magic that can currently be learned, 3-star magic, remained at the basic interpretation rate of 5 percent.

‘As expected, as my magic level increases, my interpretation rate for lower level magic increases quickly.’

As I finished my magic proficiency work through ‘interpretation’, the sun was already rising outside, which had been a bluish hue.

Dojin got up, looking at the faint rainbow created by the light reflecting off the dew at dawn.

To set off on the next journey.
