chapter 31
31 – A nasty big snowball launched by an NPC. (3)
Ragni vs Ray.
An unreasonable fight of 3:2 began. If you think about it, this balance is good again.
With an honest story, he has better detection and combat abilities than me, and Ragni is smart, so even with that intrepid idiot! and made friends easily.
really. At first, when I said I was taking Ragni too, Ira’s lips were so tight that I thought she was going to kiss me.
However, at lunch the next day, she laughed with Ragni and didn’t even call her ajumma, just calling her Ragni and playing. Is this the difference in intelligence?! And I felt a culture shock alone.
If I wasn’t Ira oppa, it would have been impossible for me to become close to Ira for the rest of my life.
And Ray and I. Our team isn’t that bad either.
At level 355, I have abilities close to 150 hops stats and have been active in the mountains for a long time, so my related abilities are separate from my talent, and I am still level 33, but my combat-related abilities are only tier 1.5.
In addition, Ray is a party-ready NPC, so he has excellent basic skills.
To be honest, compared to Ragni, she is just a bit smarter, but she is not a bad person either.
no. To put it bluntly, I wonder if there is someone smarter than Ragni in this world of Eight?
Maybe I have ended up in a position where I have to go through mandatory mirror treatment and be labeled as having bad hair for the rest of my life.
what? When I think about it like this, I suddenly feel terrible?
Where should I go to release Ragni? Are you going to leave on your own like Butterfly someday? No, if the empire falls, you can release him to become king then.
“…But, Ray?”
“yes.”
“Where are you going?”
“…Well, what?”
“……”
let’s correct He’s just as stupid as I am.
[Intelligence: 12]
sh*t. Wouldn’t it be better to go back to the city? The combined intelligence of this guy and I is 18. huh?
…You weren’t swearing?
He came out of the city energetically(?) and confidently(?) entered the mountain, so I followed behind him.
Well, Ray was quite shocked that even though he had chosen first, there were three people there.
I was also at fault for mindlessly following her as she walked forward, feeling drained after looking at the ground.
Well, stop by the guild and get some information. If you think you’ll encounter a lot of monsters just by walking blindly up the mountain, you’re probably wondering if it’s a dungeon or a mountain.
“…I see. Then, shall we go back to the city first?”
“…Ugh, okay… Wait.”
“yes?”
A fool and a fool come together to make a double fool.
But even if two idiots get together, they just have to achieve their goal like Pat and Matt, right?
Honestly, I’m not more stupid than them. okay.
“This way. Follow me.”
“Eh? Yes, yes!”
When I start walking ahead, she naturally follows me. Even though it may be your own game, this tremendous amount of trust is extremely heavy, but consider yourself lucky.
“Isn’t this… a cliff?”
“This life has many cliffs and connections.”
“yes?”
“Talk to yourself. Follow me here.”
Walking along the wall of the cliff, there is a very narrow road that leads to the bottom.
I go straight down there, and Ray follows. The wind blows quite a bit, but it’s cool compared to the cliff I climbed up with Gorr on my back.
If you go down like that for almost an hour and arrive at the bottom of the cliff.
“bingo.”
“Hey, this is…?!”
I just remembered it a little while ago. ep. The city where the 5 Empires episode begins.
Perhaps this border town is the starting point for the story. I didn’t know when I arrived at the city or even when I heard the name, but when I saw the scenery of the surrounding mountains, it was amazing! I remembered.
Could this be related to the mountain keeper’s manager skill? Remembering your past life and linking it is not some kind of Bluetooth.
Ray turns the inside of the blue wall into a circle like a plate at the unfolding scene and looks at me alternately at the huge door in front of him.
“How did you know there was a dungeon in a place like this?!”
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you it was a mountain ranger’s feeling, right? Just…”
“No! That’s right! I feel like I have the skills as expected! I believe it!!”
…huh? believe? With that?
Her eyes lit up as she looked at me, drew her sword, and stood in front of the dungeon.
“But the dungeon is dangerous. And, since this is my game, I’ll go in and come back alone…”
“What do you mean?”
The starting level for ep.5 is low to mid 400.
Considering that the level of the mime golem that comes out after clearing ep.4 was 360, dungeon solos are absolutely impossible unless the minimum level is 400.
Even Eight is a party of 2 players and NPCs based on solo play. It’s stagnant water at level 1,100. I went around and slaughtered myself, but if you go in here at the beginning of level 30, the ending will be decided.
I didn’t bring you here to make you a goblin wife?
“Eh, that, but…”
“What’s the matter, hey? You went in here alone and didn’t come out, so I’ll go in to rescue you, and after both of you break up, let’s end the dungeon with a sudden death? There’s no other option to make Ira lonely, right?”
“Ah… yes, yes. I see.”
I am mortified again when she mentions Ira to the woman who knows the story of our brother and sister without parents.
hmm. I thought he was a bit strange these days, but if I say even a little bit, he gets downhearted like a dead puppy? Why?
You were very energetic when I was chasing you. Did I just say too much?
If you think about it properly, I wonder if there was a case where I praised him.
hmm. Certainly, I was a bit harsh on praise, but. Before questioning if this is my fault, all of his actions are a bit… no.
“Ray, don’t be so discouraged. And this match, I still don’t know why you asked to do it, but in the end, you’re going to have to split sides, right? So, I’m on your side anyway. It’s because you don’t want me to say anything to you. “You know that’s not the case, right?”
“Eh…? Is that so? You didn’t like it?”
…what? Usually we get it here. I know, but shouldn’t we get the same reaction? Did I really look like I didn’t like him?
Ah, anyway. It may seem wrong, but we need to wrap things up quickly. If it gets any more twisted, my hair won’t be able to hold on!!
“I don’t like it, but how can I hate someone who treats my little brother well and chases after me saying he will return the favor to me? It’s just that sometimes I get tired of him acting foolishly or putting switches in strange places. It’s the same even now, and if you were planning on sending me there alone, I wouldn’t have noticed the location of the dungeon. “I guess they only sent you at that point, right?”
“Ah. I see, I see!! I see!! Jack doesn’t hate me?!”
If she were a puppy, she would smile so brightly that her tail would wag.
Me indeed. I was also a bad person. I’m a person who gets so energized by the positivity of people like me, but I wonder if I’ve been killing people by sparing compliments that don’t cost money.
“Okay. I don’t hate it. So let’s go together, because there’s something I want to experiment with.”
“Yes! I understand! I, Jack, will stay with you for the rest of my life!!”
“No, I never said forever, right?”
“Hey!!”
We went into the dungeon, appropriately criticizing Ray for saying something stupid again.

[Goblin: Level 330]
[HP: 3,300]
…is it really that strong?
The shape of the dungeon was the same as the shape of the game I remembered. A dungeon with several pillars and monsters roaming around in a place that looks like a huge temple.
In the case of Eight, it was an open world game, so if you were speedrunning in a dungeon without paying attention to the mobs, you would often ignore the mobs and go straight to the boss room.
Ray and I hide behind the wall and check for signs of nearby monsters. Roughly three around. But if everyone is at that level, they can’t fight anyone but me, right?
No, if Ray is caught before then, he will reach the end of the protagonist who only kills goblins and faceless female adventurers.
…Oh, turn off the tommy.
“I should go first…”
“No. Wait, it’ll be soon.”
I may be stupid and stupid now, but I wasn’t stupid in my past life.
He was at least highly educated, and I remember getting over 80 points on basic memorization tests such as Korean history and social studies. In other words, the memory of the game remains, although vague.
what? math? Why do you ask that? Are you a science major?
and.
“come.”
I entered a dungeon with over 400 levels, but I did not enter without thinking.
This dungeon was used a lot for leveling by beginners after ep.5 was opened in the game. If you wait for monsters in front of the entrance, they will slowly approach you.
I signaled with my finger that I was going in first, confirmed Ray’s positivity, waited a little longer, and then rushed in.
and.
[kr?!!]
The goblin who was attacked from behind in an instant, twisted his neck and one arm to stop him from screaming, and he struggles like crazy.
f*ck! Is this guy’s power a business?!!
“ray!”
“yes!!”
Ray accurately stabbed the goblin’s heart that I was suppressing, and exquisitely so that it did not penetrate and reach me.
When I thought about it, this position was like me holding Raditz. I’ll have to change my posture next time. There aren’t any dragon balls in this world, so you don’t want to die?
[Goblin: Level 330 (Groggy, excessive bleeding.)]
[HP: 13]
“…Ray. Slit your throat too.”
“Ah yes!!”
The goblin was unable to utter a single word after being stabbed in the heart, but the status window showed that he had not died instantly, and the first experiment was successful.
…3,300 does not mean instant death even if the heart is pierced.
In other words, even I, a person of 300,000, won’t be able to get to the goal in one hit by being stabbed in the heart.
But looking at the excessive bleeding and groggy next to me, I’d probably end up like that if I got a knife stuck in my heart. Anyway, I knew I shouldn’t have to get stabbed in the heart.
“But, the goblin just got caught by Jack, and his movements were very vigorous. I guess he had good strength?”
“Uh, it wasn’t really a joke. I think it would be even close with Gor, right?”
“…Huh? Well, then I…”
“If you get caught, queak. Okay?”
“…gulp.”
Ray, who had already confirmed that there was no answer to a power struggle with Gor, nodded vigorously. Yeah, you probably don’t want to be killed by a goblin either. So let’s just go like this.
After the body disappeared, I picked up the remaining magic stone on the floor and patted Ray on the shoulder.
Well, for now.
“Still, the attack just now was good. You adjusted it so that it wouldn’t hit me, right? I’ll have a good stance from now on, so let’s just go like this. I trust you?”
“Eh, eh?! Yes!!! Please believe me! I’ll do it right…?!”
“voice.”
-Nod nod!!
She covered her mouth as she let out a high-pitched voice, as if she was relieved by a single compliment, but she smiled and nodded vigorously as if she was okay with that.
I don’t know what the meaning of this match is, but I laughed bitterly, thinking that I would give him some praise today.
