‘oh!’
Do-Hyeon exclaimed in admiration after checking the skill information.
Do-Hyeon’s job is to be able to use the skills of all jobs.
As such, skills like magic or archery could have emerged, but luckily, a sword-related skill emerged.
‘It’s not bad if it’s just a rush attack.’
No, it wasn’t that bad.
Even if it was a sword-related skill, it was a skill with excellent usability even among general skills.
Although the power itself is not that great, the skill has endless uses, such as using it in combos or interrupting enemy skills, due to its nature of moving while cutting.
Because of the short cooldown, there is virtually no risk, and it can also be used as a movement skill in urgent situations… … .
‘Actually, I used it a lot when I was doing Demrock.’
He had no skill other than the dash attack, as he had to make full use of low-level skills due to his luck being abandoned by the gods.
This skill has returned to Do-Hyeon’s arms once again.
‘Please take good care of me this time too.’
Of course, expectations will be lower than before.
Do-Hyeon, who was snickering, closed the system window. However, he did not close the inventory yet.
It was natural.
[Random Skill Draw Ticket]
‘There’s still one step left.’
In Gotohse, you are given a random skill draw ticket every 10 levels.
A random drawing ticket that ranges from common to legendary grade.
Naturally, I had received Dohyun’s Level 10 by clearing the dungeon, and I had saved it to use in the village without any interference.
[Would you like to use a random skill draw ticket?]
And now, it’s time to use that raffle ticket.
“okay.”
When I used the draw ticket, ten cards came to mind, and soon the Eye of Truth was activated, emitting a dazzling light.
Do-hyeon shut his eyes tightly against the light and cried out earnestly inwardly.
‘Golden, please golden… … .’
And when he opened his eyes, Do-hyeon’s eyes widened as he saw ‘that thing’ that greeted him.
[The access restriction time has ended.]
[Forced shutdown after 5 seconds.]
‘Oh, crazy… …!’
Access timeout.
It is a system that exists to prevent people from starving to death or becoming addicted while losing track of time while immersed in the overly realistic God-Ose.
This wasn’t surprising, as it existed even in the Demrock era.
but…….
‘It’s already been 10 hours?’
I hadn’t thought about it since it was such a generous time limit, but I couldn’t understand how I could use up all that time just to graduate from Arde.
Didn’t we even clear the dungeon faster than any other party?
Goblin hunting was almost like a study rather than hunting… … .
‘ah.’
A memory of a tutorial suddenly flashed through my mind at that moment.
I remembered a tutorial that took over 6 hours.
And as soon as it occurred to me, my senses returned and I was able to quickly assess the situation.
[3… … .]
[2… … .]
2 seconds left.
‘Car, card! I have to get the card quickly!’
Do-Hyeon’s eyes quickly scanned the card.
Do-Hyeon’s eyes, which were looking at the cards emitting various lights as if they were random skill draw tickets, lingered on one card.
‘This is it!’
The moment you draw the card,
Hwaak-!
A dazzling light burst out and the information on the skill card appeared.
Tiring-.
[The connection time has expired and you will be forcibly terminated.]
At the same time, Do-Hyeon’s vision became completely dark.
That was Do-Hyeon’s last memory of his first day at Gotose.
And when Do-Hyeon suddenly disappeared in a ray of light, the Shield Supreme party stopped at the same time like a machine with dead batteries.

“ah……?”
“Huh?”
The response came a few seconds later.
“What, what is it? Kaiser, did you log out?”
“No, I was just pulling out skills and then all of a sudden?”
“Wasn’t Kaiser also drawing skills?”
After checking the list of the best shield parties at the startled reactions of his friends, he shook his head.
The name ‘Kaiser’ had disappeared from the list.
Migantakdae and Yubinbeok, who had finished checking a little late, muttered in embarrassment.
“If you left after drawing a skill… … I guess you got kicked out?”
“I think your connection restriction time has expired since you haven’t reconnected yet.”
“Oh, that’s right. Huh? But why is it all over already?”
“Well… …? Have you been picking gods for a long time?”
Since we’ve been together since level 1, the only answer was the tutorial.
They never imagined that I would spend more than 6 hours on a tutorial, so they just let it go.
Anyway, after assessing the situation, Yubin and Mikan Ttakdae let out a small sigh.
“It’s a shame I couldn’t even greet you properly.”
“Yeah. I wanted to make a deep impression on you, hyung.”
“If that’s the case, I should have left it behind already. It’s not common for someone to put themselves in danger of annihilation on their first hunt.”
“Do you want to fight?”
Although the two were bickering as usual, there was a clear sense of regret in their expressions.
And it was the same with the best shield.
When I was expressing my gratitude to Do-hyeon at the end, the question I hesitated to ask was, ‘Can I send you a friend request?’
It’s a shame that we ended up disconnecting without even being able to bring up the subject while we were hesitating.
‘No, on the contrary, it’s fortunate.’
But the best shield master made up his mind.
To be honest, he was also human, so it was true that I wanted to become friends with the famous Kaiser.
No, aside from that, the guy named Kaiser just shined so much.
It was only natural to feel human affection for such a person… … .
‘To wish for more than this is greed.’
I’ve only received help so far, so it seems unconscionable to ask for a friend request.
Haven’t friends always been supposed to be helpful to each other?
There didn’t seem to be any element in his current self that could dare to help him.
Even if that wasn’t the case, it was something that could have made me greedy.
I didn’t want to feel that way about him, who had coolly overlooked my mistakes without any restraint or compensation.
‘This is right now.’
The best shield maker, who had made up his mind, opened his mouth.
“How was your day?”
“Today? It was the best. I met Kaiser and even got ranked number one with him. What could be better than this?”
“It was so much fun. That’s why everyone keeps saying, ‘Wow, wow!’”
The faces of the two, who were fighting as if they had never fought before, were still fresh in my mind.
His friends were just as serious about the game as he was.
Even though he was a jerk, I didn’t know that Yubin would fall for him like that…
The shield master nodded and blurted out.
“Good. Then you guys can log in every day?”
“Of course. You weren’t planning on doing it every day? I’m unemployed, so I can do it 24 hours a day.”
“You idiot, it’s limited to 10 hours.”
“Oh, that’s right. Anyway, it’s possible.”
“I’m also taking a break from school, so I have a lot of time for a few months.”
After hearing the two people’s answers, the shield master looked satisfied and then suddenly spoke in a serious voice.
“Let’s grow up quickly.”
At those words, Yubin and Mikan Ttakdae stopped in their tracks.
The straight-faced man who had been staring intently at the most serious of shields snickered.
There wasn’t much conversation, but I could clearly see what he was thinking. He shrugged his shoulders and answered in a lighter tone for no reason.
“Okay. Grow up quickly and let’s give Kaiser a ride on the bus this time.”
“That’s right. I feel a little sorry because it seems like I’ve only been receiving.”
“In that sense, let’s quickly go over to the main continent. Before I take Kaiser-hyung on the bus, I’ll take you guys on a ride first.”
“No, that’s not it.”
In the atmosphere that had become lighter again, the shield master, who had been locking eyes with the master’s, smiled faintly.
And a hint of anticipation spread through that smile.
‘Yes, we will meet again someday.’
Something we might meet in the next city, Raven.
Things will be a bit different after Brion, the City of Promise, but as you move up to higher content, there will inevitably come a moment of overlap.
Some graduation quests and raids were like that.
so…….
‘When that time comes, it will be different from now.’
The shield master took a step forward, anticipating that moment.
To the warp to the main continent.
“Then let’s go to the main continent.”
“Okay. No one can stop me until the access restriction is lifted.”
“Let’s go together~!”
The group of shield masters who were in the warp flashed with a dazzling light.
* * *
Meanwhile, at Do-hyeon’s house.
His younger sister Hyun-ah was in a very bad mood right now.
“Hyun-ah~ If oppa is here, can you tell him to come out for a moment?”
“Ah… … I have an important scene?”
“Hurry up~.”
“Okay, I got it.”
It was an important scene near the end of a drama that I had been waiting for 10 minutes before the original broadcast, but I had to go call my older brother at the request of my mother, Chae Mi-sook.
This incident also happened because the kitchen and my brother’s room were the farthest away.
Hyun-ah would rather just watch the drama, but since she knew that if she did, she would be punished by Chae Mi-sook by getting her back smashed and her allowance cut off, she chose to be wise and listen when she was told to do so.
“Miss, what are you doing when you don’t even answer KakaoTalk messages? Are you still playing games?”
It was already 10pm and I thought he was still playing games, but if it was my brother, he would have more than enough time to do so.
Because his gaming addiction was unusual.
Her older brother was a person who didn’t make many friends and only did things like working out and playing games.
As she entered the room, a capsule was there to greet her.
“Oh, then that’s true.”
Tsk, Hyuna clicked her tongue and shook her head.
‘I have to do it tomorrow.’
If it was urgent, Chae Mi-sook would have told them to come out right away.
If you force quit now, they’ll come running at you foaming at the mouth.
You can send a message with the Gotohse app, but… … that guy with no friends wouldn’t have installed something like that from day one.
Anyway, HyunAh did her best, so Chae MiSook wouldn’t say anything.
Whoosh-.
It was at that moment that Hyuna turned her back to leave the room.
Push-.
“Eww!!”
“Kkiyaak!”
Hyuna let out a shrill scream at the sudden sound of air escaping.
As if that wasn’t enough to express her surprise, she jumped up like a spring and stepped back in fright to look at where the sound came from.
The source of the noise was the capsule, or more precisely, Do-hyeon sitting inside the capsule.
“Shock, you f*cking idiot. Why are you yelling all of a sudden!? My heart almost dropped!”
Hyun-ah suddenly screamed, but Do-hyun pretended not to hear her.
I just stare blankly into space and mutter.
“Wow, F**k… … Wow… … .”
“Wow… … That’s what I feel. Stop acting weird and come out quickly. Mom is calling.”
Hyuna could be heard talking, but Dohyun couldn’t hear it.
It had to be that way.
Because the color of the skill that appeared a little while ago was still floating in my head.
“What, can’t you hear me? Hello?”
“… … .”
Do-hyun doesn’t have the presence of mind to care whether Hyun-ah waves her hands in front of him or not.
Suddenly he comes out of the capsule, starts screaming, starts swearing, and then loses his composure?
It was a sight that never seemed normal, and HyunA was a woman who valued honesty as her strength.
“Mom, Mom! Oppa is weird! I think I finally went crazy while playing a game!”
“Hey, what’s that habit you have towards your brother!”
“No, I’m telling you, this is really weird. Shouldn’t you take him to the hospital?”
Leaving behind the voices of Hyun-ah and Chae Mi-sook that were fading away, Do-hyeon was lost in thought with the most serious face in the world.
If Rodin had seen this, the motif of the thinker would have changed.
‘That dazzling color… … If I’m not mistaken, it was gold.’
There was nothing else that made Do-hyeon so worried.
‘Isn’t it? It’s a bit light for a gold color, and it seems like it’s not as bright as yellow… … No, that’s not it. Isn’t it on the bright side?’
Is it yellow or gold?
The great problem that divides heroes and legends was filling my head.
It was true that it was a happy worry no matter what, but it was a difference as small as winning first or second place in the lottery, so I couldn’t help but think about it.
Especially in Demrock, he didn’t have a single legendary skill.
I couldn’t stop thinking about it, as it was a situation where I might have my first legendary skill in my life.
‘Ah, if only I had watched it for just one second, no, just half a second… … Why did it turn off right at the moment when the light burst out?’
The worries that continued on and on could only stop after hearing Chae Mi-sook’s nagging, who had been dragged into the room by Hyun-ah.
