LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 14 My Familiar is Jae-
Young, who returned home from the Daemawang University orientation.
Gray-colored Dreamer luxury capsules occupying most of the small studio space. The whole world was making noise because of this capsule. Until now, I hadn't experienced anything special, but seeing the situation where the identity of the department was completely overturned, I began to feel it.
“Well... Now that it's like this, I can play the game to my heart's content.”
Everything has already been decided. I thought about what to do if I objected to this, but it didn't really matter to Jaeyoung, who had just entered school. If my parents, who came to see me for a while, saw the capsule and asked what it was, I had a good excuse that I couldn't help it because of the nature of the department, so I just thought I should use it.
Jae-young, who decided to put aside her thoughts on the department for now, lay down on the connector and connected to Arcadia.
[Welcome to the fantasy world of Arcadia.]
The same voice every time. Hearing that fantastic voice, it was none other than the little devil with black wings who welcomed Jaeyoung into the game.
“what! Why is it taking so long!”
[Satan, the lord of chaos.]
On the outside, he looks like a small imp, but he has a title that can never be ignored. Jaeyoung's familiar, Satan, flapped his wings and spoke to him in an annoyed voice in front of him.
“I stayed up all night for several days. I came to rest.”
“Ah, anyway, I’m weak and fall for it. This is why you shouldn’t make contracts with humans, won.”
During the waiting time, the side of Satan, who continued to grumble as if he was bored, was full of green slimes that gathered plumply.
“Kwuuuuu!”
“Kwuuu!”
As the slimes gathered here and there seemed to like Satan and rushed at him in an attempt to rub it in, he climbed onto Jaeyoung's head with a disgusted face.
“Ugh! Go away! You jelly bastards! It's sticky and weird!”
As if he had been beaten several times, Jaeyoung looked at the slimes flocking here and there and the surrounding landscape as Satan made a terrible expression on his head.
“Um... but there are still traces of the village.”
A slime sanctuary that used to be a village for beginners.
Most of it was destroyed and disappeared buried in the sticky green slime, but Jaeyoung felt a bit bitter looking at the familiar-looking ruins that still remained here and there. Of course, he is the main culprit of this situation, but he made friends with some NPCs while doing the tutorial quests before, but all of them were in a state of unknown whereabouts.
“Can we get out of here now? Do you think you'll throw up if you look at the color green?”
Satan said he was sick of slimes. Jaeyoung nodded as he agreed with that opinion.
“Okay, go back now...”
Quaang.
Just as he was about to step out of the slime's lair, a huge slime flew in from somewhere and blocked Jaeyoung's path.
“Kwuuuuuuu!”
A king slime the size of a giant building. He approached Jaeyoung with a menacing leap. However, the momentum spreading from the slime was not hostile. Rather, it was a strong pleasure, like meeting a friend.
[The King Slime expresses his gratitude to the player.]
[The slime race will forever remember your contributions in driving out humans and establishing a territory only for slimes. You are the eternal benefactor of the slime race!]
[The title ‘Friend of Slime' has been changed to ‘Savior of Slime'.] [
You have obtained the reward slime essence.]
[Probability has increased by 2413.]
[Mission Quest Beginner The killing is complete.]
A lot of text fills up in front of your eyes. Jaeyoung began to check the rewards he had acquired one by one.
[Title Savior of Slimes]
He saved the slime race from a great crisis and helped them prosper. They will never forget that grace and will remember you forever and praise you as a savior.
-Recognizes slimes as cognate.
-Water attribute +10
-Intelligence +5
-Physical resistance +5
Title.
Jaeyoung was satisfied with the fact that he had obtained the title. It is also true that the title of Arcadia is composed of a system that is different from other games. Of course, there were common titles that could be obtained simply by collecting or killing something, but there were also special titles.
These were what people called Special Titles.
Titles appropriate to the situation were given to individual users when they achieved a unique play that was different from others, especially something that no one had achieved in the game. Until now, only a few people have acquired special titles, so there is almost no related information.
And Jaeyoung was able to obtain such a special title through this mission. Even though it was a title that could not be shown to anyone.
Beginner killer. And the slime savior.
He probably didn't know it, but Jaeyoung licked his lips and closed the status window, as it was clear that he would soon be caught and forced to log out while wearing this title.
“Kwuuuuu!”
The slimes all cried out in unison as if they were thankful. Seeing them like that, Jaeyoung licked his lips and waved his hand.
“Jeop.... Well, I did it for the mission, but since it ended up like this, live well here. Because no one seems to be coming to kill you.”
After those words, Jaeyoung moved out of the slime's sanctuary. And the slimes watched his back for a long time. As if I would never forget him.
* * *
A novice village that has completely disappeared.
However, users were able to find a way to replace the beginner village faster than expected.
- Instead of a beginner village, there is a territory called Baron Mikhail 10km to the north. The level of the surrounding monsters is reasonable and the items are moderate, so it would be okay to play here?
- Oh, I went there too. Maybe it's because it's the closest to the beginner's village.
-Somehow, it seems that people are sneaking in these days.
The closest city to the Beginner's Village. From beginners who had fallen off to Baron Mikhail to those whose level wasn't that high yet, all of them gathered in huddles and began to flock to them. And Jaeyoung was also included in that group.
“stop. What is your name?”
“This is Dex.”
When the guards blocked the entrance to the manor and asked for his name, Jaeyoung calmly told him his name. Then the guards frowned as if hearing the name for the first time and asked.
“Dexra... are you also from a beginner village?”
“Yeah what... is that right?”
As if this is not the first time this has happened, he said as he raised the spear again with a troubled face.
“What the hell happened? Are the slimes going crazy?”
A guard asks with a bewildered face if he heard the rumors somewhere. In fact, the fact that the beginner village was destroyed by the slimes and the territory itself was taken over by them was hard to believe for the NPCs in Arcadia. That a fragile creature with bright and cute eyes is taking over a human village. The guard's eyes were full of suspicion, just like everyone else.
“What... you’ll probably find out when you go there yourself? It's not the slime you know.”
Although it's probably going to the nether with a body-butt of the slimes that are completely different enough to be sent to ‘Our Slimes Are Different'. At Jaeyoung's words, the guard let out a sigh and said.
“The purpose of coming here is... I wonder if you came here to settle down? I'll let it pass for now, but just in case it doesn't cause any problems.”
Entering the village thanks to the guards who passed it surprisingly easily, Jae-young asked, looking sideways at Satan who was looking around with only his face poking out from above.
“Tan, what do you keep looking at?”
Jaejoong's question. At that question, Tan muttered as he narrowed his eyes.
“Hmm... Something looks familiar here...”
“Familiar?”
When Jaeyoung asked, Tan immediately shook his head.
“Umm... no... but why do you keep calling me Tan?”
“...Then should I call out your name in a crowd?”
[Satan, the lord of chaos.]
His familiar with the name Satan. I don't know when I'm alone, but it's perfect for strange suspicions or misunderstandings when I'm in a crowded place calling out this little devil's name. So Jaeyoung decided to call him by a different name.
“That’s why I will call you Tan from now on. know that.”
“No, well... it doesn't matter... but do we have to go that far?”
Tan, who seemed to be incomprehensible with a confused face. But Jaeyoung was adamant. It was absolutely not acceptable to become hostile to a strange church that claimed that Satan had descended and that summoners had to be purified with fire. And Tan was also more interested in other things than how to call himself.
“Anyway, how are you going to do that?”
“what?”
“That power. Uh... did you say probabilities? It seems like there are more of them than when I first saw them?”
probability.
The number of beginners Jaeyoung killed through this slime incident and the end of the mission was beyond imagination.
-Number of novices killed: 41138
More than 40,000 dead. Over 40,000 beginners were fed 24-hour access restrictions for a week. And as a result, Jaeyoung's newly acquired probability was far greater than before.
- Probability:
A situation where the stats exceed 30,000 without realizing it, including the probability additionally received through clearing the 33551 mission. Tan swallowed his mouth and asked if he liked the possibility.
“Can you give me all of that?”
Tan's soft question. However, Jaeyoung said firmly.
“no.”
“ah! why! You can't write without me anyway! Give me all of them and I'll give you something really good!”
Tan waved his hand in the air again and seemed to be looking for something. But Jaeyoung stopped him urgently.
“If I need anything later, I'll tell you then. Until then, just wait.”
The other day, Tan pushed out a 150-made unique item, saying let's exchange it for probability. Thinking of his history, the anxiety that he might bring even a legendary item this time overwhelms him. It's a situation where there are a lot of people passing by on the street.
“Sheesh. You pretend to be very expensive.”
Tan, with a sullen expression, vomits his dissatisfaction. But what? In the contractual relationship, he was a thorough Eul, and what he regrets right away is not Jae-young. Although Jaeyoung's power of probability was very, very coveted, he had no choice but to remain silent as there was nothing he could do right now.
“So where are we going now?”
Looking at Jaeyoung, who continued to walk, Tan asked. Jaeyoung continued to walk along the main roads of the castle, carefully examining his surroundings.
“I’m getting a rough estimate. It’s easier to find your way later when you know where things are.”
So, Jaeyoung started to look around to see what kind of NPCs were in the village, what the market price of the items sold in the store was, and what kind of quests there were.
“Recently, the lord ordered to increase the amount of iron ore mined, but it's a big deal. How do you mean more? Aren’t you working by reducing the time you sleep and the time you take breaks?”
“So that is it. I am afraid that if we do not increase the amount of mining by the given date, we will be punished severely.”
And Jaeyoung was able to learn a quest from two miners who were talking with serious expressions in a tavern.
“Maybe I can solve the problem.”
“Ohhhh! Is it possible?”
“Then please!”
The two miners are happy with Jae-young's acceptance. From above, Tan watched the whole scene, tilted his head, and asked.
“what? Suddenly, what kind of iron ore?”
“What are you doing, you’re breaking the quest.”
The Demon King couldn't understand Jaeyoung's sudden intervention in the problems of the miners, but Jaeyoung said as if it were natural. As one of the users who enjoys Arcadia, it was impossible for him to ignore the quest he found.
But Jaeyoung didn't know what huge and vicious consequences the quest he just accepted would have.
