Chapter 3 - Unlocking Rare Class (1)
Boom! Blam! Bang!
Fire spurted everywhere when it t with the reagents. The witches jumped away in surprise. In the anti, I began to hop around like a frog due to fiery sparks prickling away at .
How dare a re human!
One of the witches growled at as she grasped the situation. I looked around and found a way leading up. A rather sturdy looking ladder. Naturally, I ran towards it.
Where do you think youre going?!
One of the witches casted a spell. In a split second I made a decision and grabbed one of the witches whose hair was on fire and pushed her in front of like a shield.
Blam!
Smoke erupted and the witch turned into a skunk, which I threw towards the witch who casted the spell. The skunk beca surprised and gassed the other witch.
Arrrgh!
The witch who took the spray head on collapsed backward while screaming. There was nothing to hesitate about now. I ran forward with all my might.
Where do you think youre going? Ill rip your limbs apart!
The witch who asured roughly 2.5 m in height stood in front of with her two arms extended out. It was Pugul, who had inherited ogres blood. She was quite strong, so she preferred to beat her opponents to death with her two arms rather than by using magic.
I couldnt stop now. When Pugul tried to grab while I was sprinting, I slid down and dived through right between her legs.
You slippery rat!
Enraged, Pugul tried to turn around but I found sothing resembling a stick and stuck it up her behind.
Kuuaaaaahhh!
The gigantic ogre sized witch jumped up. Thanks to that sothing fell off of Pugul. It was a hefty leather bag, and even at a glance, it looked important. So, despite the situation I grabbed it and climbed up the ladder.
Pant! Pant!
While I was frantically climbing up the ladder to save my life, one of the witches grabbed my ankle.
Ill roast you alive!
Ah damn it! I was almost there.
I struggled with all my might and desperately groped around with my hand. The mont I felt sothing sturdy in my hand, I swung at the witchs forehead.
Aaaaaagh!
The witch, who had almost finished chanting her spell fell off the ladder with a scream. I climbed to the upper level and hysterically looked around.
Even if I kept running away at this pace, I would get caught soon.
While I was looking around, a large cauldron caught my eyes.
Right, she said it was an acid bomb!
I started moving the cauldron without any hesitation.
Pssssshhhhh
A bit of acid splashed onto my skin but now was not the ti to be concerned with sothing like pain.
Uwwwwwaaaah!
I poured the content of the cauldron down the hole with a mighty shout. Then I ran out the door with all my strength. If Hejuju was right, that was a bomb.
Since the lower level was filled with fire, it was obvious what would happen.
Uwaaaaaahhhh!
For barely a mont, I sped through the swamp trail like a famous athlete who broke the world record on the 100m sprint. Then a dull explosion erupted.
Kuuuuuwwwaaammm!
It was a storm of fire that shook the entire swamp. Imnse heat which felt like it was cooking my flesh blew from behind but I didnt stop running.
Whether I was lucky or not, the explosion had scared the swamp monsters and they had scattered.
I kept sprinting down the swamp trail like a madman while completely naked. However, an unbelievable system ssage popped out in front of .
It was a rather distracting ssage. I carefully looked over while still running.
What? Over three hundred thousand exp?
I was surprised. That amount of exp was enough to hit level 30 with a regular character and that wasnt all.
5,000 achievent points in one go?
It was unbelievable. It appeared I received a shocking amount of achievnt points for doing sothing so outrageous with a regular character.
With this single victory, I was on the verge of beating out the top score of this regular character tournant which has been going on for about half a year. As expected! It was all . Things were different when I played.
Leaving the excitent behind, my body grew heavier and my sight grew more dim. After finally escaping the swamp, I collapsed.
Seems I was hurt all over while escaping. I had not noticed due to the excitent
Ah I was on a roll, but its over already?
It was a sha, but my eyes grew heavier and soon, my sight beca dark.

While Han Jaewoo was in the ga, there was an uproar outside. Due to the difference in the passage of ti while inga, the people outside felt as if he simply waltzed over and picked up those points imdiately.
Oi, it really is Han Jaewoo. Hes completely nuts. Totally nuts! How did he breakthrough five thousands points as a regular character?I am shocked. I guess there really are people who are just born with talent. I thought Han Jaewoo would not be any different, but I guess he is the top world-ranker for a reason.
The real commotion broke out when an article claiming Han Jaewoo beat Havels Five Sisters as a regular character at Lv.0. Gaplay footages were not revealed during the competition. However, it was information that Aquila Software Inc. had intentionally leaked. Reporters were clamouring over each other all day and night to have the gaplay footage released.
Mr. Aquila! Please comnt on how Han Jaewoo killed all the witches as a Lv.0 regular character!
Mr. Aquila! An interview, please!
The artificial intelligence, Aquila, replied calmly and leisurely amidst the cacophony of reporters.
Per the tournant rules, I cannot reveal any information. But I have felt a revelation from watching him play. He may be able to clear the ga as a regular character. This is sothing previously agreed upon, but Mr. Han Jaewoo has announced he will continue to play until ga over, regardless of achievent points.
Is he really thinking about finishing the ga with a regular character?
I cannot be certain of what he is thinking. But if it is Mr. Han Jaewoo, I believe that is possible.
Aquilas words made the front page of various websites around the world. In 2045, thanks to artificial intelligence, a universal basic inco had been implented. Due to this, people were freed from work and their interest towards virtual reality gas beca truly enormous.
Virtual reality gars across the world cheered on Han Jaewoo after reading the articles. However, whether the world was cheering him on or not, Han Jaewoo was now lying down half dead in a shabby hut.
***
Urrrrgghh
I felt like dying.
Why did I play a regular character and bring this on myself. Ah, am I still alive?
Kuuuhh
Everything ached, but when I opened my eyes, a bonfire was burning in front of .
Oh, youre awake.
A man with a sharp appearance approached.
This is..?
My hut. I found you collapsed by the swamp and brought you here.
Ah thank you.
However, this man was familiar.
Where have I seen him before?
Ah! Youre that monster hunter.
It was the monster hunter I t before going to et Hejuju. I never imagined he would be the one to save .
Yes, but more importantly, what happened? Youre covered in burns and cuts. Not to ntion that explosion in the swamp, what in the world was that?
Ah, its, ugggh
My whole body felt like it was on fire. I only realized I was burnt this seriously after the fact. Then the monster hunter handed sothing towards . It was a large red fruit.
This is?
It is the legendary dicine called Red Dragons Fruit. If you eat this, you will gain a strong constitution called dragon bone. You will gain resistance to fire as well and this kind of burn will be healed instantaneously.
... Why are you giving sothing so precious to ?
Its yours. Didnt you know? It fell out from the pouch hanging around your neck. I was surprised too.
What? What did he say? Red Dragons Fruit?
I only realized after looking at the pouch the hunter showed . I grabbed that pouch amidst the chaos because it instinctively felt important.
The Red Dragons Fruit was what was probably in there. It was an unexpected bonus. I originally planned on getting a Dragons Fruit from Hejuju, but I got the Red Dragons Fruit, which was levels above Dragons Fruit.
Red Dragons Fruit was a legendary dicine that grew from the Dragon Tree in the swamp which only bears fruit once every 500 years. The witches of the swamp had a monopoly on the Dragon Fruits. Each of the five swamps grew a different type of Dragons Fruit.
I had heard they were sent over to demon lords as tributes. It appears she had one hidden away. I was unbelievably lucky. However, the monster hunters reaction with sothing so precious in front of him was even more unbelievable.
Youre giving it back to ? You could have taken it at any ti.
Well, its not that Im not greedy. Ive hunted in this here swamp for a long ti now. Thanks to that, I ate Black Dragons Fruit a long ti ago. I dont know if you are aware of this, but even if you eat a different Dragons Fruit, you will not gain anything after the first one you consud. Its useless to .
If you sell it, youd be a rich man.
Hahaha. If I cared about sothing like money, I wouldnt be hunting monsters in a place like this.
He was truly a peculiar person.
I felt the goodwill of the person in front of .
May I ask your na?
Lud. And yours?
Its Valler.
Very well, Valler. Eat that fruit first. Youre in a pretty bad shape.
I nodded and bit down on the Red Dragons Fruit. I could feel sothing in my stomach boiling and strength exploded through my body.
Goodness! It was a massive boost.
Strength 18 -> 118Dexterity 22 ->142Constitution 20 ->170
My mouth opened wide at the extre change. 118 strength was monstrous. The average strength stat of those infamous ogres was only 100. I had sohow managed to gain strength similar to that of an ogre from the start.
It was indeed a legendary dicine. I didnt feel like there was much of a future for a regular character, but now there was a basis for rapid growth.
Congratulations.
The monster hunter Lud congratulated with a kind smile. Despite his sharp appearance, he was a kind and amicable man.
Thank you.
Besides that, just what happened in that swamp?
I was all healed up, so I might as well. I explained the situation while eating the food he had given .
Goodness!
Lud was absorbed in the story and exclaid at every turn.
Unbelievable! Simply amazing! I couldnt manage to take down a single witch all my life, but youve managed to kill them all!
I was lucky.
Its not just luck! The Ability to make snap decisions in extre situations like that is truly amazing.
Lud seed to be deep in thought after listening to the story. He talked to in a serious voice a little while after.
Say, have you ever wanted to try learning the skills of a monster hunter? Ive been looking for soone to inherit my skills, after all Im not getting any younger. Looking at your bravery, I like what youre made of.
He continued on.
But this isnt sothing like giving you a duty to fulfil. You dont need to remain in this swamp to hunt demons either. You have sothing you need to do after all, right? I can see it in that determined look in your eyes. People like you have so unbreakable principle or goal.
I have sothing I must do.
Lud nodded as if he had expected it.
The only thing I want is while you travel the empire, help the people in need with your skills. If you can save even just one person, then it would have been worth passing down these skills to you.
It was a destined eting.
Despite raking in massive amount of exp, I was still Lv. 0 because I didnt have a class. If I could gain a rare class like Monster Hunter, I could invest my exp points into it. But beyond everything, I felt that Lud was a good person.
I wish to call you teacher from now on.
Very well. Hahaha!
He laughed happily.
After coming into this world, my first class beca Monster Hunter. Naturally, the basics of the ga was being able to have multiple classes.
You could always gain more classes as long as you were capable. For now, I aid to get stronger while progressing along as a Monster Hunter.
