Episode 6.
[Maximum favorability from the start?]
– Grade: Rare
-Description: A title given to those who have reached the maximum level of affection with an NPC in the tutorial.
-Effect: NPC favorability increases more quickly.
All stats +2
The title was one of the hardest rewards to obtain even in Demrock.
That was only natural.
Because a title is something that is given only when the player’s results or actions are recognized as great achievements worthy of the title.
You have to move more fiercely than others and produce results for sure.
‘It’s valuable if it’s a rare title.’
Among them, a rare grade would be a satisfactory result.
Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary.
There is a big difference in ability depending on the grade, but if it is rare, it can be used anywhere.
Even during the Demrock era, the grade that Dohyun used the most was the rare grade.
And this ranking system is the same in God Ose.
The importance of rare grades would also be similar.
‘Good start.’
In that respect, getting a rare title from the tutorial was a very pleasant start.
This is also an option that helps with favorability.
Although it may not be a helpful option in combat, it may be better in the long run.
‘Fortunately, the favorability reward for Gotose isn’t a draw.’
Surprisingly, they said they reflected feedback and made some changes.
Well, that’s how God Ose was able to take over the entire world. If it had been run like Demrock, even if it was the first virtual reality, there would have been a lot of controversy.
Do-Hyeon raised his head after checking the compensation.
‘hmm.’
Charlie appeared with shining eyes and a kind expression on his face.
It was a face that was completely devoid of the look of frustration from our first meeting, as if he was dragging me along.
“Thanks to you, I was able to get there faster than expected. It’s all thanks to you.”
The voice has also become noticeably softer.
‘I just fought… … Is it really that easy?’
If you think about it, I didn’t do anything for you, so should I call this pure?
Well, since it’s a wartime situation right now, it’s understandable that Do-Hyeon would be grateful for quickly clearing out the demons.
Although it was a battlefield, the atmosphere was friendly and he pointed ahead.
“Now all we have to do is go there.”
What he was pointing to was the door across the hallway.
Finally, this tutorial is coming to an end. If you go through that door, the final event will appear.
“If we can just eliminate the black magician inside, we can win this war… … .”
As Charlie continued talking, running down the hallway.
“… … !”
When there was about 100m left.
Kookookookook-.
Suddenly, the hallway I was passing through began to collapse.
That wasn’t the end.
An eerie black light was leaking out from beneath the collapsing floor.
Charlie was taken aback by the sudden change.
“Oh my god… …! Has the summoning already begun?”
This was because the summoning proceeded faster than originally planned.
From the collapsed floor, strangely shaped creatures were rising. Including the ones we had seen a moment ago, there were also ones that looked like bats.
One had to stop them.
“Oh… …! I’ll take care of this place, you go first! Just go inside. Make sure to stop the summoner!”
“… … ?”
“Originally, I should be the one to do this as the leader… … but I think I can trust you and leave it to you. No, I’d like to ask you a favor. Hero… … Could you please help me?”
For a moment, Do-Hyeon forgot the situation and pointed at himself blankly.
I thought I had heard wrong.
Charlie, perhaps misunderstanding the meaning, began to pray, expressing gratitude.
“May the protection of Arlen Castle be upon the hero of war… … .”
It was an embarrassing situation for Do-hyeon.
‘… … I’m going in? Not you?’
That’s understandable, since this was a kind of event that was sure to happen in God Ose’s tutorial.
‘It’ is summoned and Charlie goes in to deal with the monster first.
And then after hearing a scream, he dies and ‘it’ comes out through the wall.
An event that happens to everyone equally, so much so that even Do-Hyeon, who is doing it for the first time, knows about it.
But that event changed.
‘They say it changes a bit depending on what the user does… … But does it really change to this extent?’
It was a strange thing.
Charlie’s lack of involvement in the battle, or his clapping, are minor things that don’t interfere with the story’s progress… … but isn’t this an event that was bound to happen?

As you approach the door, a message appears.
[Only one person can enter at a time.]
[Upon death, the seal will collapse and all of the boss’s abnormal status will be removed.]
[Do you really want to enter?]
A very scary message.
I’ve never heard of this message popping up in a tutorial. Those who know might know, but at least it means it’s not a common route.
And this is what they call it in Demrock.
Easter egg.
Or… … .
‘Hidden Piece.’
A device deliberately hidden within the game.
And these devices usually boasted a high level of difficulty, and the rewards were also different from the general ones.
If it’s a god-like creature similar to Demrock, then this would be the same.
I don’t know exactly how the Hidden Piece worked, but Charlie’s approval and favorability probably played a big part.
‘You’re lucky.’
There really was no other way to express it.
Who would have thought that such a secret could be hidden there?
I felt like I could happily accept Charlie’s ogling reactions now.
[Do you really want to enter?]
“okay.”
Because Do-Hyeon wasn’t the type to turn down a hidden piece like this.
As he opened the door with a blunt answer, a dazzling light enveloped Do-hyeon.
And when I opened my eyes, a different landscape unfolded before me.
Kwaaaaah!
“Ahhh! Why, why are you doing this! I am the one who summoned you! Listen to me! Ah, no! Aaaah!”
Something huge, dark and engulfed in darkness, was devouring what appeared to be a summoner.
No, it was hard to call that person a person.
Although the overall silhouette was similar to a human, the body that was revealed at first glance was similar to that of a monster.
[The Dark Summoner Who Made a Contract with the Abyss]
-Title: The One Who Made a Contract with the Abyss
-Type: Hybrid
– Traits: Black magic, summoning, curses
-Description: A black magician who has made a contract with the world of fear, the Abyss. He is attempting to conquer Arlen Castle by summoning ‘it’.
The information that was revealed also revealed that it was not human.
However, Do-Hyeon’s gaze was not on the guy.
The pitch-black darkness that swallowed him up. The pupils of his reptilian body glowed red in the darkness.
[Iron-blooded Ma Yongjong]
-Title: Legendary Named Boss
-Type: Dragon
-Characteristic: Sealed.
-Description: This is the abyssal dragon species that is in charge of the name Iron Blood.
Information about them is still largely unknown to humans, and they have been passed down as a source of fear. Currently, all abilities are sealed due to the restraints, and their physical movements are restricted.
“… … Legendary?”
Do-hyeon, who checked the information, laughed in vain as if it was absurd.
* * *
Gotose took a lot from Demrock.
One of them was the rating system.
A system consisting of Common – Rare – Heroic – Legendary.
Everything from the titles Do-Hyeon has obtained to items and skills has a grade.
And it was the same with monsters.
Not all monsters were like that. It was a rank given only to monsters with the title ‘Boss’.
And among them, the special boss was the named boss.
‘The only boss who owns a name.’
Because they were the only entities that had a name that represented them.
Unlike bosses who respawn when they die, when they die, that’s the end.
A unique and irreplaceable boss.
Because of this, it is set to have lived for a long time, and therefore boasts a higher level of difficulty even at the same level.
‘Legendary named… … .’
That guy has a legendary title.
With a name that looks so red that it’s almost black.
‘So that’s why they say you can never catch it.’
Now I understand.
In the first place, this monster wasn’t made to be caught.
A boss monster that is given the task of unconditionally and reliably killing users in order to proceed with a given event.
That was the identity of the tutorial boss.
It wasn’t that strange.
Because games where you play an event by inserting monsters that you could never catch in the tutorial are something that gamers are familiar with.
However, there was one thing that was questionable.
‘In the video, everything except the name was a question mark… … .’
I thought he would be strong, but I didn’t know he would be this brutal.
Perhaps no one knows that guy’s true identity?
‘No, in about a year and six months, there might be people who know. In that amount of time, most hidden pieces would have been revealed.’
Of course, even if there were, no one would dare think of catching it.
Anyway, since I came this far, I had to make a choice.
I’m going to catch that guy.
Or just give up cleanly.
As if to help Do-hyeon with his worries, the bastard let out a roar when their eyes met.
The roar of the giant, which was over 10 meters tall, was so scary that just hearing it gave me goosebumps.
And the messages that came up after that were even more creepy.
Kwaaaaah!
[I heard the roar of the ‘Iron-Blooded Dragon’.]
[Your physical abilities are reduced by the roar of an overwhelming being.]
[Movement speed reduced by 20%.]
[Attack speed reduced by 20%.]
[Defense power is reduced by 30%.]
[Magic resistance is reduced by 25%.]
“… … You have no conscience.”
An already strong guy is now applying debuffs.
It seemed as if he was telling me not to even think about dealing with him. But it was also a fair condition.
Drumroll- Drumroll.
Krrrrrr… … .
His hands and feet, his torso and neck.
Because the restraints that tied up his entire body kept him from getting off the wall.
Like a dog guarding the house.
If you try to go beyond a certain range, you will be blocked by a restraint.
His arms were somewhat free and he was swinging them despite the restraints, but his speed was slow.
-HP: [1,000,000 / ???]
Even though he was wounded and blood was splattered all over his body, his vitality was pitiful for a legendary named boss.
As stated in the description, all abilities are sealed.
In short, it was a deteriorating situation among the deteriorating situations, with all limbs cut off and the person dying.
But even so, that immense vitality and the stupidly large arms that would surely kill you with one hit.
Common sense tells me that this wasn’t a boss that a level 1 user was supposed to catch.
‘You said that if I die, the seal and abnormal status will be lifted?’
Perhaps in the original tutorial, Charlie died and the seal was released, so he was found intact.
then…….
‘… … Isn’t it worth it?’
Maybe now is our only chance?
The only chance to catch an uncatchable boss.
This situation happened often in Demrock too.
I discovered it by chance, but I always had to make a choice when faced with the insanely difficult hidden pieces.
Every time, Do-Hyeon’s choice was the same.
“Okay, let’s do it.”
Kaiser, he was not a man to turn down such a challenge.
