I Became the Goddess of a New World

There was a hidden mechanism in the Forward Leap.

The moment you collide with a structure or monster during the leap, it immediately cuts off.

However, there was one body part that could avoid this ‘collision’ judgment.

“This right here, the ball of the foot.”

Master Kim said while pointing at his foot.

“If only the ball of the foot touches the structure, you can avoid the collision judgment.”

As if to demonstrate, Master Kim took his stance again.

He then used the Forward Leap, and his body shot forward like a projectile.

This time, he definitely collided with a wooden pillar, yet the Forward Leap did not cut out.

“It’s also possible to turn at a right angle like this.”

Now, Master Kim was showing off the trick of changing direction mid-air.

―――

Isn’t this the breath of lightning?
You all know the Six Continuous Strikes of Thunderous Raids, right?
What’s that, you nerd?
So why did the Total Annihilation effect get stronger?
―――

“I’m not actually a nerd, but I did copy that after seeing it. I was just curious if it could really work…”

As ‘the tales of the true ones’ slowly rose in the chat, Master Kim hurriedly changed the subject.

“This technique is surprisingly difficult to pull off; however, when successful, you get a speed boost, allowing you to travel farther than just using the Forward Leap.”

―――

Oh no, does that mean
The Total Annihilation got stronger because of that?
Ah, I understand perfectly (what nonsense is this)
I got it exactly (what the hell)
―――

Master Kim’s explanation split the chat responses in half.

“What you need to pay attention to here is that when you link the Forward Leap and Total Annihilation, the distance traveled by the Forward Leap adds additional damage to the Total Annihilation.”

But Master Kim’s continued explanation was able to clarify even for the remaining confused half of the audience.

Why the power of ‘Total Annihilation’ shown by Master Kim was so strong.

―――

[User ㅇㅇ donated 100,000 won]
– Sir, does that mean spinning around with Forward Leap strengthens it?
―――

“Wow, our anonymous brother donated a whopping one hundred thousand won…! Thank you so much! Hmm, spinning around, huh? I’ve actually tried that, but it didn’t work. I’m not sure if it’s affected by agility or buffs, but even when I used the spirit of a warrior, the maximum was three rotations.”

It was unclear if it was systemically blocked or just because Master Kim’s level and stats were low.

However, based on Master Kim’s attempts, the limit seems to be three continuous uses of this skill.

―――

Then isn’t the Warrior incredibly OP?
You have to use both your movement and main attack, which seems not great.
The fact is, mages can change the terrain with a single click, right?
Must win vs. a click, lol
Wow, it still looks lame like this.
―――

The chat somewhat resembling the Second Division of the In-Game Gallery, but Master Kim didn’t mind too much.

His mind was filled with visions of elegantly hunting monsters with this technique.

“From now on, I will name this technique ‘Light Martial Arts.'”

In a world where the martial way had faded into obscurity,
Master Kim boldly proclaimed the revival of martial arts.

[Indie Minor Game Gallery]
Warriors are trash.
Warriors are a secret class.
Therefore, secret classes are trash.
Recently, this had been the simplified opinion in the In-Game Gallery.
It was straightforward enough to be summarized in three lines.
However, this opinion was immediately overturned by one person.

As Master Kim’s stream improved public opinion towards warriors,
The mage who had been wearing disguises and causing chaos turned into the primary adversary of the Guild Cup.
The funny thing was, everyone in the In-Game Gallery was a non-gamer.
Right now, Master Kim was the only one who wasn’t a non-gamer and was in the mercenary guild.

“Hmm… What quest should I take on?”
Having completed the class change quest and become a mercenary,
he didn’t have many quests he could take on since he was starting as an F-rank mercenary.
―――

[F-rank quest – Find the Count’s Pet Cat]
[F-rank quest – Regular Inspection of the Underground Waterway]
[F-rank quest – Escort the Merchant]
―――

“They all feel like odd jobs…”

Still, to rank up to the next level, he needed to complete a quest.
Which quest would be the most efficient?
Amidst his pondering, a mercenary watching approached him.

“Regular inspection of the underground waterway. That’s a good choice.”
“Is that so?”

The bald mercenary, whose scarred eye was striking, spoke quietly.
“The underground waterway has a musty smell and is dirty, but there aren’t many areas to investigate, so it won’t take long.”
“What about the escort mission?”

At Master Kim’s question, the bald mercenary shook his head.
“The escort mission takes a long time. Especially if you run into bandits or monsters on the way, that can be a real headache.”

The bald mercenary spoke as if a novice F-rank mercenary would be no match for bandits or monsters.

“That’s one of the missions where newcomers die the most, so it’s better to avoid it.”
Just how low is the average level of F-rank mercenaries for the bald guy to give such a warning?
Still, Master Kim decided to somewhat trust the bald mercenary’s advice and took down the quest notice for the underground waterway inspection.

“But, is it usually this empty in the mercenary guild?”
Currently, the only ones in the mercenary guild were the receptionist, the bald mercenary, and Master Kim.
That was it.

“There usually aren’t many. But it seems the high-ranking officials from the country called all the mercenary guilds? There are rumors going around that something big is happening.”
High-ranking officials from the country.
There was only one true high-ranking official in the Empire, right?
Coincidentally, it was about the same time that Raven went to the royal palace.

“But why are you in the mercenary guild, senpai?”
“Me? I’m just here to finish a job I took on today.”

After wrapping up the trivial conversation with the bald mercenary, Master Kim took the quest notice to the receptionist.
―――

[F-rank quest – Regular Inspection of the Underground Waterway]
– Investigate abnormalities in the underground waterway
– Reward: 10 silver, 5 rank-up points
―――

After confirming that the quest was registered in his quest list, Master Kim stepped outside.

“The quest itself doesn’t seem like much.”
He followed the guiding arrow that appeared in his field of vision.
Entering an alley where few people were in the bustling street,
and as he moved deeper into the more secluded area, the arrow’s guidance halted.

“It really looks unpleasant to enter.”
The entrance to the underground waterway looked dirty enough to raise doubts about proper management.
Dirty stains and dark, dried filth marked its surface.
Just looking at it gave a sense of pollution to his eyes.

Master Kim stood in front of the entrance to the underground waterway, squeezed his eyes shut, and stepped inside.

Thud—

“Damn it.”
As soon as he entered, a drop of water falling from the ceiling hit the nape of his neck, prompting Master Kim to let out an exclamation of admiration.

Sizzle—?
Sizzle—!
[Slum Rat Lv. 4]
[Slum Rat Lv. 3]

“Oh, a low-level hunting ground.”
Considering the dirty and gloomy atmosphere, the levels of the monsters that appeared were quite cute.
If a difficult enemy emerged in a place like this, he probably would have met his first death.

Contemplating this, Master Kim exclusively hunted the slum rats using Total Annihilation.
―――

Warrior (Long-range Click)
Master, be a man and fight barehanded.
Huh… Is it that dirty?
It doesn’t seem that bad.
―――

“No, how can I fight in such filth? For me, Akare is the reality. What? This guy makes me look like I lost my… well, nickname ‘Waiting for a spanking from a Big Mage’. What are you doing to me?”
―――

Law vs. ㅋㅋㅋ
Look at that nickname, damn it.
What did Warrior even do wrong?
―――

Master Kim progressed slowly while interacting with the viewers.
Sizzle—!
[Slum Rat Man Lv. 8]
Then he encountered a slum rat standing on two legs.
Faced with quite a shocking visual, Master Kim immediately took his stance.

“Unquestionable Reply.”
That was a monster that shouldn’t be alive, so he leaped with all his might.
There was nothing in the underground waterway to use for martial techniques.
Yet, Master Kim’s level was 11, and the Rat Man was only level 8.
With this level of difference, he did not need to use martial techniques; just linking his skills would be sufficient.

Kiiiaaaah—!
Leaving behind only a scream, the Rat Man’s form shattered.

―――
[F-rank quest – Regular Inspection of the Underground Waterway (Completed)]
– Investigate abnormalities in the underground waterway
– Reward: 10 silver, 5 rank-up points
―――

After defeating the Rat Man, the completion notification for the quest appeared.
It seemed the Rat Man was the ‘anomaly’ in the underground waterway.
Having achieved his objective, Master Kim was ready to leave the underground waterway when…

“I think I’ll explore further inside.”
Much like exploring the various maps from the old “Maple Leaf Story,”
Master Kim moved deeper into the underground waterway.

“Hmm… I came expecting something to be here.”
The further he went inside, the worse the stench became, and there was nothing else to be found.
No more slum rats or Rat Men appeared.
However, Master Kim’s instincts were screaming.
Something was surely here.

Arriving at the outskirts of the underground waterway, Master Kim looked around.
“Brothers, if you find anything unusual, please let me know.”
Even though Master Kim was playing with a first-person perspective,
the viewers who were watching were mostly seeing from a third-person perspective.
Thus, they could see things that were not visible to Master Kim.

―――
[User ㅇㅇ donated 10,000 won]
– Stop right there and check the left wall. In that state, bow down and look at the fifth block from the bottom; its shape is slightly different.
―――

Following the instructions suggested in the donation, Master Kim soon spotted it in his sight.
A single block with a different shape.

“Wow, how on earth did you find this? Anonymous brother, you’re truly amazing.”
Master Kim excitedly tapped the block with his finger joints.

―――
Is this going to lead to a double dungeon?
If it’s a double dungeon, lol
Will I become a necromancer if I clear it?
Oh no, that would be bad.
―――

“Brothers, please stop with the ruckus…”
As he was about to scold the chat trying to make dangerous jokes,
his words were cut off.
Clang—!
A steel grate appeared out of nowhere, blocking the only exit from the underground waterway.
And just like that, countless slum rats and various rat-shaped monsters began to spawn within the closed space.

[You have entered the dungeon ‘Trap of the Dark Mage.’]
Click? Click!
The summoned rat monsters charged toward Master Kim as soon as they saw him.

―――
Ahh, crap
Guys, try looking at this from a first-person perspective.
It’s so disgusting.
I turned off the broadcast screen.
―――

Even with Master Kim’s level being high, the numbers were overwhelming.
While Total Annihilation did damage to all enemies in a straight line,
the Rat Men didn’t get one-shotted by Total Annihilation, making it impossible to wipe them out in one hit.
The remaining option was to link skills to boost the damage of Total Annihilation, but…
The circumstances weren’t favorable.
It was too cramped to use martial techniques here, and the space was unfamiliar.
Above all, attempting a Forward Leap here would mean diving into the heart of the enemy.

It was a moment of utter crisis.
All viewers watching thought,
“Here it comes, Master Kim is about to record his first death.”

Just as they thought that, with a punch from Master Kim, a huge, fist-shaped energy surged.

Now familiar with the warrior’s main attack, Total Annihilation.
―――

This won’t get one-hit, huh?
Master, invest 2 million.
Information) This dude is still using Level 1 gear.
Wait, I know you’re mad.
It’s the legendary gauntlet!
―――

Although the low-level slum rats were wiped out in one go by Total Annihilation,
the Rat Men with high health survived and attacked Master Kim before him.
If he could just wait for the cooldown of Total Annihilation, there was a chance he could survive, but…

“Ugh! Damn!!!”
…No miracles happened.
[You were killed by Slum Rat Man Lv. 8.]
Surrounded by Rat Men, darkness quickly enveloped him.
When he regained his consciousness, he found himself in the city square.

―――
Equipment destroyed, praise the divine!
I can die as a warrior.
Master, your mindset is like Li Shungzhu.
You’ve lost 10% experience.
You got normalised after eating the equipment, haha.
―――

“…”
Master Kim, quietly watching the chat, swallowed his rising anger.
He took a slow breath, opened the mini-map, and checked the location of the blacksmith.
[Master Kim’s broadcast title: The Trap of the Dark Mage Conqueror.]
After modifying the title, Master Kim dashed towards the blacksmith.
