Logging out doesn't make your character disappear like in other gas.
If you don't log out in a safe place, you might find your character naked the next ti you log in.
I took off the VR device, no, the gear, and returned to the real world.
A bleak reality.
A world without family, friends, or anyone I know.
I wanted to go back, but my stomach was screaming for food.
It doesn't make sense to be full in the real world just because you ate in the ga world.
I got up from the bed, went to the bathroom, then to the kitchen and opened the fridge.
I took out the triangle kimbap I bought yesterday and so water, then cooked so ran.
A al that's warm but not warm.
After finishing the al, I wanted to return to the ga world, but it was impossible.
Due to the gar protection feature, you can't log in for a while after being connected for a certain amount of ti.
I went back to my room and struggled to fall asleep, tossing and turning in bed.

When I woke up in the morning, finished my al, and logged into the ga, it was morning in the ga world too.
The ti in reality and the ga is exactly 1:1 ratio.
I stretched and got up from the inn bed, opened the door, and went down to the first floor to find Bell unni already working early in the morning.
"Good morning!"
"Oh my, you're up early? Want breakfast?"
"Yes!"
When I answered brightly with a smile, she patted my head, saying I was cute.
I missed this touch.
A warm touch.
When I smiled innocently, she smiled back saying I was cute and went to get the food.
I sat in a chair and waited, and soon the food ca out, but the amount was no joke.
Food filling the entire table.
Bell unni looking at with eyes that seem to say, 'You can eat it all today too, right?'
"Thank you for the al!"
"Eat a lot."
After finishing the al, I tried to pay for the lodging, but she firmly refused.
"What money from a child! Don't worry about anything and stay comfortably."
"I can't do that!"
"You can!"
With those words, I was kicked out.
In an instant, she picked up, put outside, and closed the door, telling to go play.
The inn unni is scary...
So, should I head to the hunting grounds now?
No. Information gathering cos first.
I couldn't check the guidebook or the system last night.
Besides, my job is summoner and I'm level 7, but I can't keep beating monsters with a staff forever.
To gather information, I headed to the library in the village.
To find out how a summoner can obtain a summon.
Arriving at the library and reading books related to summons, my knowledge increased.
[Knowledge increased by 1.]
[Knowledge increased by 1.]
[Knowledge increased by 1.]
[Knowledge increased by 1.]
Reading the books increased it quite a bit.
However, the information I wanted wasn't there.
How to obtain a summon, that is.
As I was sitting frustrated in a corner window seat, basking in the sunlight, a thought crossed my mind.
I can check the community, can't I?
I accessed the large community existing in Arcana Online and checked the latest posts.
[I'll tell you about the ti I got caught raiding the Red Dragon King's lair.]
What would you do if the cave you accidentally entered was the Red Dragon King's lair?
There were countless gold coins scattered on the ground and mythical items piled up like mountains.
For a mont, I lost my mind and started scooping them into my inventory, then suddenly I felt a chill.
When I turned around, a huge red dragon was staring at ?
I thought I was going to wet myself.
Want to know how it ended?
I got stripped of everything, from the equipnt I was wearing to all the items in my inventory.
F**k this ga, I'm quitting. Bye.
[Comnts]
- You wrote "I'm quitting" quite elaborately lol
- Just change it to "I'm quitting bye" lol
- How about changing "I'm quitting bye" to "I'll tell you about the ti I got caught raiding the Red Dragon King's lair," you jerks?
[Is this what summoners were made for, you bastards?]
My level is over 50 but I don't have a summon. I'm not taking any questions, you jerks!
[Comnts]
- This guy chose summoner out of all the many jobs lol
- It's your own fault lol
- Did soone hold a knife to your throat and force you to be a summoner? lol
[I started as a summoner, where do I get a summon?]
I'll give 100 points. I'll eat the points. I'm reporting this.
[Comnts]
- It's not too late. Quit and do sothing else
- Is there a summoner with a summon? Probably not? lol
- What's the use of summons being OP if you don't know how to get them lol
- How does the comnt above know summons are OP?
- I don't know?
- Are you crazy lol
- What a trash job lol
After checking the general perception of summoners, I searched for ways to obtain a summon.
There was nothing useful, mostly clickbait posts.
One said you could get a sli summon if you killed 9,999 slis, but it had hundreds of curse words in the comnts.
Then I checked the system and guidebook, but there wasn't anything special.
Unable to obtain any information, I headed to the hunting grounds.
'I should at least hunt.'
Today, it's ti to challenge goblins, which are stronger than slis.
But it's lonely hunting alone.
Does it make sense that there are no users in the #1 ranked ga?
I even moved to channel 1004 on purpose.
The 'Angel' channel is so pretty, right? But why is there no one here?
With bitter steps, I headed to the hunting grounds while looking at the ga system, and there was a streaming button.
What's this?
The system says I can broadcast my screen in real ti, but will this make feel less lonely?
When I tried to start streaming, there were many things to set up.
Profile picture? Can I just upload my picture?
After finishing so settings and pressing the streaming button, it was activated.
And a small chat window was created next to , which was interesting.
[Viewers: 0]
There's no chat because no one is entering, though.
Should I go see the rabbits on the way?
As I entered the hunting ground full of rabbits, the rabbits that spotted started to gather.
"Kyahaha! Don't lick! It tickles!"
The rabbits co to , licking my cheeks with their cute tongues or gifting carrots.
At that mont, a chat ssage appeared.
[What is this? How did you do that?]
"Wh-what!?"
Startled, I checked the chat window and soone had entered.
[Viewers: 1]
[How did you do that? Rabbits aren't aggressive monsters, but they're not that docile either. And they're even gifting carrots?]
"Uh, hello? But isn't this normal? It's been like this for from the start?"
[What's your unique characteristic?]
"My unique characteristic?"
At that mont, the person chatting was kicked out and a warning ssage appeared.
[Asking about others' unique characteristics is subject to ban. Never reveal your unique characteristic to others.]
There was sothing more important than the warning ssage.
My precious viewer disappeared!
[Viewers: 0]
I beca alone again after losing my only viewer.
Can't be helped. More importantly, I learned that I shouldn't reveal my characteristic.
I learned a new fact.
I waited for another viewer to enter, but no more viewers ca in.
This isn't about them not coming in. They can't co in.
I pressed end broadcast and had a solo ntal victory.
With a gloomy heart, I arrived at the goblin hunting ground and saw nas displayed in red.
[Young Goblin]
Are aggressive monsters displayed in red?
Slis weren't red, what's going on?
I approached a goblin and swung my staff.
With a 'Kwaek!' sound, it fell down with a splat, then got up again?
The goblin rubbed the back of its head and stared at .
'Its eyes are scary!'
With trembling hands, I gripped the staff tightly and swung it again, hitting its head. At that mont, it collapsed and dropped an item.
«Goblin's Necklace»
Old and shabby, but seems to have a story behind it.
I put the item in my inventory and as I was moving to hunt other goblins, I saw a small cave.
It's definitely a cave that didn't exist until just now.
It looked dangerous just by looking at it, but as if possessed by sothing, I entered the cave.
Against my will, that is.
As I entered the cave, I heard a sound.
"Child, this way."
"Who's there?"
"Co this way."
Following the voice deep into the cave, I saw iron bars.
But sothing was different.
The thickness was no joke for ordinary iron bars.
At least 5 tis thicker and stronger, and when I touched it, the surface was smooth and gave a tingling sensation, indicating it wasn't the steel I knew.
And there was a warning ssage in front of the iron bars.
[Turn back. If you attempt to break the seal, you will receive the red dragon's curse.]
[Warning: Breaking the seal will result in the red dragon's curse.]
[Due to the effect of the unique characteristic: Protective Instinct (保護本能), the curse is ignored.]
[Do you want to break the seal?]
YES / NO
The mont I broke the seal with trembling hands, sothing dark flew at but disappeared with a bright light.
The bright light briefly revealed sothing existing inside the iron bars.
Sothing huge, that is.
Thinking about it now, I think I've gotten into big trouble.
