Reincarnator Chapter 3:
The whole body’s muscles started squirming around at a miniscule level .
His body, which he wasn’t accustomed to due to it being from many decades ago, quickly moved according to Hansoo’s will .
Hansoo, who had prepared his body, slowly walked towards the goblins who were running towards him in a crazy manner .
Those are trying so hard to get here so what’s the point of him running?
Every bit of stamina to swing the dagger was important .
Hansoo deflected a goblin’s arm while it was swinging the sword
Keeik?
Hansoo’s body, which seemed to be out on a stroll to watch a mountain, suddenly changed fiercely while the goblin was flustered .
As if he released all the strength he gathered up .
All the runes were gone .
All the skills were also gone .
But the same strength, the same stamina or the same perception had a huge difference depending on how it was used .
The body was basically a tool of battle and depending on the way the tool is used, the final outcome will have a difference between heaven and earth .
Hansoo rushed between the goblins just like that and started slashing madly in all directions .
Kiiieeek!
The goblins, who were running, screamed in a beastly manner and rolled about on the floor .
And in the spot the goblins dropped, two things were left .
A Podao, which was crude but much more threatening than a dagger .
A much tinier rune .
Hansoo spread out his right hand, grabbed the Podao and swinged it hard as he grabbed the rune with his left hand at the time same .
And at that moment a part of Hansoo’s body changed slightly .
‘My luck is good’
[Kang Hansoo]
Strength: 11
Agility: 10 . 1
Stamina: 9
As a rune that rose agility by 0 . 1, Hansoo’s status menu changed .
Agility, which wasn’t needed to be shown, appeared .
In a sense, one’s strength is what made one faster, but agility was a little different .
The user’s time twists and it becomes 0 . 1 times faster and their reaction speed becomes faster as well as the same movement being slightly faster .
As agility rises, the user started to live in a different dimension .
Every rune stat other than strength and stamina, which was already given to humans, all start at 10 due to them not existing prior to that .
Hansoo moved his now faster body without hesitation towards the goblins who were rushing towards them and started to cut them into blocks .
Sometimes it didn’t come out, and only small ones came out when it did, but since numbers were numbers, Hansoo’s rune stats rose slowly but surely .
Of course with his current status, no matter how weak goblins are killing 200 alone was a bit far fetched .
The Podao was so feeble that two or three swings broke it and Hansoo kept changing his weapons as he fought the goblins .
Injuries rose by one and two as well .
And the people who saw that stopped and stared at each other .
At this rate, they will all die .
Not from goblins, but from human’s hands .
And they also started to have greed .
It seemed like runes were very important .
But as one person ate it all they felt anxious .
And as they gained courage as they saw Hansoo, who only seemed to be a college student, fight so well .
From afar, his actions looked very sloppy .
The actions were not flashy but rather only created due to him protecting himself but as they saw the goblins falling to those slashes, the goblins seemed very weak .
“Fuck…eyy **** I don’t know anymore!”
“Uwahhh!”
The people grinded their teeth, but carefully approached Hansoo’s back and started fighting .
Kiiiiek!
The goblins stared at the humans who were charging towards them with a panicked look but then started fighting with a roar .
And then chaos started .
“Ahhhhk!”
“Goddamit! Help me!”
They held one dagger .
They knew they had to fight .
They knew they would get stronger if they fought .
The opponent wasn’t that strong .
But even then, they were just commoners .
And the enemies were armed with a weapon, despite it being feeble, as well as having a large amount of killing intent .
A lot of injuries were occurring from all directions .
But even in that situation, Hansoo continued to kill goblins as he absorbed runes and slowly walked forward .
Honestly there was no need to rush while receiving a lot of injuries .
He could hide between the people and fight slowly as if he was peeling an apple and kill more leisurely .
But there was a reason why he rushed despite receiving injuries .
‘There is no time to dilly dally . ’
Including this location there were countless amounts of adventurers .
‘There are probably over 10,000 . ’
The 100 people here was not everybody .
There are probably a few hundred of these just for Korea .
If we include the world there are many more .
But everyone was new 1st years .
There were no adventurers from previous years .
They probably didn’t come here from kindness because of the newbies .
This location will be protected for three months as the tutorial area .
If things like this didn’t exist all the upper years would come, kill everyone and take their runes .
With only 1 year of experience one can kill 100 of them very easily .
From a point of view it seemed like the benevolence of the fairy but Hansoo’s thoughts were different .
‘How to say it? Created to enjoy the chaotic fight between weaklings?’
It seemed like it was made because it would be boring if a strong person came and wiped out everybody .
Whatever the reason this was a chance .
In 3 months they will have to collide against people who’ve been here for 2 or 3 years .
With that in mind they must become strong fast .
Due to Hansoo flying about quickly in the front, the fight ended rather quickly .
As the battle ended and the tension was released, the people couldn’t bear the fatigue and fell onto the floor .
‘About 16 people died . ’
A much better loss than in the past .
If Hansoo wasn’t here, at least 30 would’ve died .
While the 100 fought 200, the number of goblins Hansoo killed by himself was at least 70 .
And the surrounding people stared at him tiredly .
As the people thought of Hansoo’s mad actions of slashing in every direction with his Podao and Dagger and slowly moved their distance away from him, the fairy appeared .
“Wow . The grade is really good here . Well from now you should know how to survive from this point . ”
‘Fucking son of a mayfly . ’
The people couldn’t curse out loud so they did it inwardly .
It was rather easy to realize who put up the **** wall .
“I will get rid of the wall now . From now, do it just like this . Fighting!”
As the fairy disappeared, people started mumbling .
Hansoo shook his head and then checked his stat .
[Kang Hansoo]
Strength: 14 . 3
Agility: 10 . 9
Stamina: 10 . 1
Perception 11 . 2
‘It’s not bad’
Hansoo nodded his head .
As he expected, agility runes don’t come out easily .
And maybe due to it being a tutorial, skills didn’t come out .
But compared to the three he killed when he started off in the past it was not that bad .
As he also got perception runes which increases his overall perception, the start was pretty good .
‘I even got something like this . ’
Hansoo laughed as he saw the sword with a sharp edge .
<Podao Gained from Court’s Recognition>
This well balanced and sharp Podao was one of the more useful items out of the ones you can get in the beginning .
It wasn’t a great weapon but compared to the ones that lost their edge with a few swings, it was much better .
With the dagger attached inside and the Podao attached by his waist, his whole body had multiple scars .
Since he rushed in order to end it fast .
Hansoo, who had finished his basic preparations, thought of the things he needed to do at this moment .
‘Firstly… I won’t be able to meet them . ’
He was a 1st year adventurer .
On the other hand, Keldian, Kangtae and Eres were 19 to 20 years adventurers .
Since they started 20 years ahead, they were probably running way ahead of him .
So Hansoo thought of the next thing .
‘Well telling them about the Abyss is rejected . ’
The dimensional corrosion of the Abyss was sped up depending on how much the corroded dimension knew about the strength, intel and skill of the Abyss .
Like ink spreading in the water .
If intel about the Abyss were to spread, the invasion of the Abyss will start earlier .
‘First, strengthening myself is of utmost importance . ’
He was here to change the flow of water .
But the strength to change that flow of water was the start and of utmost importance .
And with that Hansoo thought of his friends .
Eres, Kangtae and Keldian .
It was planned that they were to all return together with him .
Unlike him, who had become strong by struggling intensively, their every action was close to a guidebook .
And their survival was because of their strength .
‘How did they say they did it?’
They told him in the past .
How they got strong in the beginning .
Eres told him .
<I gathered people and created a clan fast . It wasn’t that hard, since I was a doctor . >
‘Rejected . ’
It didn’t fit his personality and more than anything one needed to be at the level of Eres to do that .
Next is Keldian .
<That day with 100 people inside that cage was really a great chaos . Shortly after the beginning of the first day we fought and killed each other and all died . I was the only survivor . >
And Keldian ate all the runes as he quickly rushed out .
‘In my view Keldian might have stimulated them a little . ’
But Hansoo shook his head .
There was the words of Eres and him, who had come to save the humankind, doing that sort of thing is absurd .
And there was more bad than good on the long term if that were to happen .
If you kill somebody a rune will appear but it didn’t mean that the person who took the rune will become as strong as the dead person combined with them .
Since runes didn’t drop in large numbers .
In reality, the man who died earlier had more than 20 together if you combined his strength and stamina but the only thing that was dropped was a strength rune .
If you see from the point of a society, coexistence was the answer . That was the reason why Eres, who had included everyone, was able to stay as a leader until the end .
More than anything else if he were to think of his plans, killing a person to get a rune is forbidden .
It might be different if they were to kill though .
‘How did Gangtae say he did it?’
<For me when I killed them, agility runes started dropping here and there . Even a regeneration rune dropped . >
‘… . this doesn’t help either . ’
His luck was too good .
Agility was one of the most useful stats out of the beginning stats .
The increase of reaction speed allowed one to easily dominate over others .
And there should be a limit to how lucky one can be, killing a tutorial goblin and getting a regeneration rune .
The methods of those 3 did not fit him .
Actually, their methods were a bit lacking .
He needed a way to leap over their standards and rush forward with dominance .
And Hansoo knew about that .
‘Something like this existed . ’
A long time ago, one of his comrades from the Final Brigade told him .
The tutorial area where 10,000 people were trapped for 3 months .
In this place, there was a hidden dungeon .
For a beginner, the difficulty was out of the question . So getting to the end was a failure . But just getting to that point will allow one to have an immense headstart that cannot be compared to others .
He, who had only gotten to the halfway mark after a long struggle, got strong enough to the point of becoming one of the Final Brigade .
Becoming one of the Final Brigade meant that one was within the top 100 strongest people of mankind .
And for that, it was one of the most important location for the tutorial area .
This world was not fit for mankind to survive but one thing was clear .
Something that was harder, seemed close to impossible will grant a larger reward when completed .
‘First, I must gain that . ’
Hansoo made his primary goal .
