"Oh!"

It wasn't that I was closing my eyes, but Harun suddenly had his eyes widened when strange things appeared around him.

The place where he stood was a massive square of thousands of people. In an enormous square, which seemed to be several kilometers around, there were people of all races dressed in various colors.

"Medieval?"

I did.

Its massive buildings and architecture, elaborately stacked with bricks and fine stone, were similar to what we learned in history.

Although the stage of the virtual reality game was anticipated in almost the previous civilization, especially in the Middle Ages, the feeling of standing in a large plaza unique to the Middle Ages was truly astonishing and dreamy.

"It's amazing!"

Surprised Harun stood still for a while and turned his attention around as he got used to the landscape.

The square was very crowded with many people.

It was very unusual to see lovers talking about love, old couples enjoying the sunshine, children who looked like friends, tired travelers from distant continents, street musicians playing in front of restaurants, hats, and painters painting portraits.

No one seemed strange or interested in Harun's existence.

As he looked around for a moment, he closed his eyes and tried to feel the new world with his arms wide open.

He was surrounded by a warm, soft feeling of sunshine that he could never taste in a barriered city, and the breeze that carried the unknown conversations that flowed among people around him was almost catching his hand.

The stones on the floor, as well as the feeling of the walls of the building, were just as real. The solidity and cold feeling was so unrecognizable that it was a virtual world. Virtual reality, which I have experienced a few times before, is almost perfectly embodied.

At this rate, I never wanted to go back to Zone F. That dusty wind on the barrier. Even if it's A, or even S, where all the amenities are available.

"I'm Harun now, not a civilian!"

Crying out like a madman made my heart open so that I could face a new world with a new feeling like my life changed.

Harun wandered around the square bewildered, watching people's looks, smells of food, their conversations, and their various gestures.

There was no obsession that the goal of playing the game itself was to level up as quickly as others. Beyond's fresh and fantastic world has moved him indefinitely, making him unaware that he is now connecting to virtual reality.

How much time has passed.

The sun was setting.

The year that the emperor ran through the tall towers of the great palace tried to hide his appearance. He had never seen a sunset like this. I always saw the Sun obscured by dust.

He was amazed at the magnificence of nature he had never felt before. As my heart tightened, there was an unspeakable excitement that made me want to scream. The scene that I had only seen through the picture was in real time before my eyes. His chest was filled with emotion.

It was only when the sun had finally set and the streetlights had lit up all over the square that Harun was able to come to his senses.

"Let's check on my condition first."

While I was fascinated by the great and beautiful nature, it was quite a while ago. Now that we know how well Beyond's environmental implementation is, we need to focus on the game.

"Status window open!"

With the command, he sees his basic information in front of his eyes.

─ ─ ─

Name: Harun

Race: Humans

Job: -

Level: 1

Title: -

HP: 150

Mana: 150

Strength: 5 HP: 5

Knowledge: 9 Wisdom: 5

Luck: 7 Agility: 5

S.P.: 0 Void: 98/100

─ ─ ─

Again, the figure of the stat was much lower than expected.

This Bjorn was concerned that it reflected quite a lot of his actual abilities, but it was not quite what he expected. The stats given up to 10 were quite low, apart from knowledge and luck.

The Soul Points (S.P.) entry was empty and the stat entry was six. It was curious how many stat items to attach. Harun was well aware of how big the stat was in the game and had little experience.

Drifting information shows Beyond reflects more physical abilities in reality than open games.

'I'm a bit knowledgeable that I've been stuck at home reading a lot, and the rest is a bit of a middleman? We'll see about that. Well, it can never be higher than other users, but in Beyond, does the stat go up by level, or does it go up by repetitive behavior?'

In fact, that was the most important point.

It is the stat that quantifies a character's abilities. There was an empty stomach system, so I also had to care about eating regularly. Earlier in the tutorial, I heard that if you drop below 10% of your empty hallway, your health will also drop rapidly and you may die of starvation.

It was time to find out what he had.

"Inventory Window Open!"

─ ─ ─

1 Wooden sword

1 plain outfit

10 Bread

Identification card

10 Silver

─ ─ ─

"Oh, what is this?"

I groaned.

I was really poor. The inventory totaled 32, of which there were only five. It was in the pocket of a poor novice.

Thin T-shirts, cotton pants and sandals made him the most shabby of many in the square. Well, it would be odd if it was a level one outfit that started in Beyond for the first time.

'Hmm, if you see a wooden sword, leveling up with hunting is like any other game.'

The order was to know the information of the only weapon.

Harun took a wooden sword from his inventory and checked the information.

"Check your info!"

─ ─ ─

Wooden Sword

Rating: General

Attack Charge: 2-5

Durability: 15/15

Restrictions: None

Description: A wooden sword made without castles. However, there is a difference in lethal force with use and is quite firm.

─ ─ ─

We need to gather information first, don't we? Where are the users meeting, by the way? '

It was a fairly large square, full of many people, but there were not many second-class people (users) dressed like it.

In most games, NPCs were more difficult to distinguish due to their names and identities appearing above their heads, with no indication whatsoever.

Over time, however, people naturally gathered to one side, acting humbly, distinguished from NPCs. In the absence of any information, it seemed like it was safe for users to stick together.

"Hey! What do you got?"

One of the faceless men slapped him on the shoulder and asked. It was quite painful, so I frowned, but Harun couldn't even be angry. He shook his head. The lack of numbers was the same as in reality.

The users gathered and talked in their own way.

"Harry, are you sure you haven't found a way to level up?"

"Phew, yeah."

"What do we do if you can't find a ranker in the world?"

"I think this is the wrong place to start. It's such a big capital that I have to walk for a long time to get to the hunting ground, but it's so uncomfortable."

Among the users, the story of the hunting ground is mainly true.

I overheard them, but I don't think anyone has found a hunting ground yet. Well, if we could find a hunting ground, we wouldn't be here right now. You must be hunting hard.

Then one approached them and shouted at someone with an impression.

"Damn it! I can't get out the gate. No matter how hard you beg for it, the Dementors won't let you go if you're too weak to leave!"

"Dammit! How am I supposed to hunt, then?" "

"Don't you think you should level up through quests or training grounds to a certain level to go hunting?"

"I've been asking around and none of the NPCs know it's a training ground. Do you even have a training ground?"

"What kind of game asks you to play without giving me any dictionary information? Did you do a beta test?"

A voice of frustration erupts from everywhere. We didn't have the basic information necessary to target the game, so we thought it would be similar to the usual patterns of other games, but it wasn't.

"Who gives a quest anyway?"

"I see. No matter how far I go, I can't find an NPC that gives me quests. These NPCs don't feel like NPCs, they just feel like users. I don't know how to play this game."

"I need to log out and search for information about users who have started elsewhere. I don't know anything like this..."

"Yeah, that's better."

After quite a long time, people came to that conclusion. The game is just getting serviced, but people who still like to step up and want to make a name for themselves will start posting even a little information.

Many of the users are starting to log out, but Harun stands in the corner staring at the night view of the square.

His access to the game was clearly due to an environment that was so different from reality that his own worst sense of reality embarrassed him.

'It's so vivid. Much more than reality.'

According to him, these Beyond NPCs were not at all unnatural in their behavior compared to the users. Their attitude was no different from the appearance of ordinary citizens enjoying the night view, except they didn't think it was strange that the users disappeared.

'Let's turn around sooner. I am not in a hurry to level up, but my primary goal is to see the world and find ways to increase my abilities.'

Harun comfortably left the square. In front of the square was a large four-pronged road. The two of them were bright at night, but I did not want to see a store formed.

He takes a leisurely step to one of the two streets.

"Whoa! Amazing!"

Nearly three or four wagons wide at the same time, both sides of the highway were filled with shops selling various items. In the meantime, of course, I couldn't dare guess how wide the shops were, as they were connected to Soro.

There were many shops dealing with items that were no longer available in reality.

Man-made crafts were typical of them. Now there were very few handicrafts in reality. Even the most sophisticated handicrafts could be made with precision machinery using computers.

There were countless kinds of handmade materials such as wood, iron, ore, paper, grass, and leather, and they couldn't be so beautiful because people were careful.

After looking around the store a little more, he couldn't keep his mouth shut. All kinds of merchandise were packed in every store, and the people who bought and sold it were full of life as if the street itself was alive.

I wish I could live in a world like this! '

I didn't even know it.

It was a world I really wanted to live in if I had money, or if I had a job where I could make money. Given the reality that I could hardly find a proper job, it was a dream place.

Unlike other games, however, I could not find anyone who paid attention or cared about him.

Cities without a hunting ground would naturally have a training ground or quest to replace, and would require certain situations or NPCs to take you to the training ground or to give you a quest, but not here at all.

Why Neckwall created this virtual reality. What do they mean by implementing another reality, not a game?

Harun's eyes flashed for a moment, thinking of something primal.

'I need to find a job. No, we need to find work here. If you want to take root here as if you were living another life, you have to melt into it like reality.'

What he wanted was to train the weak body, but also to have the opportunity of education that was not properly received by unexpected accidents.

To do that... ….

'You have to learn. So where do we go? Oh, school! Damn it, I need a whole new world of information.'

Harun looks around. People seemed so busy that I was not sure what to ask. Of course, it was also because I was clumsy to talk to others because of my lack of numbers.

Harun looks at the people for a long time and sees a woman.

It was a woman with a strange atmosphere.

For a woman, she is quite tall and full-looking, wearing leather armor and a long sword at her back. I don't think the knight is quite sure, but he's walking around in his spare time like a white handkerchief.

'It can't be you... Is it a prosecutor if you see you have a sword?'

Harun can't take his eyes off her after seeing her once. Her presence and atmosphere were so unique and glamorous.

Her presence is even more evident because people have fallen off a certain distance by her walking indefinitely.

She wears a plentiful blouse and moveable leather trousers inside her buttoned armor, and a wide band made of leather.

She goes around talking to people and talking to them. At the fruit shop, I picked up a blue fruit and at the jewelry store, I picked up a bracelet and put it on my arm. They don't pay, of course.

"What is it, her? A gangster who rules this street? '

What was unclear was that she knew her shopkeepers well. And a lot of people across the street knew her. There were a lot of people talking to her. I'm sure you'll be happy to see that the time is very short.

Harun suddenly found three people with an unusual vibe just a short distance away, looking at her as if she was wandering around the store without hesitation.

Assassin?

Not Assassin. They wouldn't show up in a place like this. Moreover, I won't expose my enemies in this open space.

They were watching her behind a tall display in front of the store. In the meantime, Harun sees a sparkling light in one of them's waistdance. It must have been the glow of the weapon.

Even though there was some distance, I could feel the intense killing in their gaze at her. The woman across the street didn't feel anything, but Harun was able to settle.

They're after her.

'I can't. You have to tell her.'

I didn't know which side I was on, but I thought I should let them know the risks.

As soon as I took a step, I saw three people secretly following behind a group of people across the street.

Harun hurriedly followed behind them.

It seems as if one of their hands was about to attack you.

She was just about to meet them across the street in droves, but began to greet them with a handshake as if she knew someone.

When the three men reach behind her back, Harun sees a sharp blade in the hand that comes out of their arms, rushing towards one of them, shouting.

"Look out!"

"Huff!"

Harun, who was struck on the man's back with his head tied in a golden tip, fell at my power, noticed the presence of the three when his head was cut off by a sword wielding a surprised man.

"Differential pressure!"

Chang!

Though I couldn't see ahead of the falling winds, the sound of the incoming metallic echoes seems to have stopped their attack safely.

"Run!"

"Shit! Well, this piece of shit just barged in and ruined everything!"

"Fool! The witch's eyes are back!"

After just one attack, the three men fled in different directions at terrifying speeds, and when she was just about to chase them, she saw Harun stumbling on the road and stopped.

Harun's nose is bleeding from the ground.

"Oh, are you okay?"

Harun makes sure she's safe as he falls and shivers from the knee and broken nose.

"Yes, thanks to you."

She looks at him in a strange way, unlike that of a gracious person, and replies without a castle, unlike she expected. It felt like I had tried hard and insulted him.

However, I felt sorry for him, thinking that he did not ask for a reward or fulfilled a great justice.

"I'm glad you're okay."

She stares at him for a moment without saying a word.

Harun stood still, not knowing where to look, waiting for the nosebleeds to stop flowing.

"My name is Elzer. Thanks to you, I was able to avoid danger."

"I... am Harun. I saw them f-fighting for God... Do you know them?"

"They must have been sent by the Dark Merchant Guild."

"The Dark Merchants Guild?"

As if I had never heard of it, Elser cast his frightening gaze back at Harun, who repeats his name. Her eyes widen, and Harun feels a chill.

Are you questioning whether I'm not one of them? '

At that moment, Harun considers whether he should leave quickly. After all, it was strange in many ways to see the actions of the person who had been avoided by his own help. And her creepy eyes were very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, he tried to get angry.

It was so urgent that if he had been rational to see Carl, he would never have plunged so recklessly into helping her.

Harun looks directly at her face as she approaches.

When I looked closely, I saw a distinct face. The thick, wavy silver hair looked dull, but on the other hand, it was good because it was informal. Although there were some disturbances to the face, neck and several parts of the body, I quickly turned my eyes to see the intensity of her gaze.

Elser, who was looking sharply at the person who saved him like that, smiled brightly with a strange feeling in his eyes.

"Thank you. I almost got stabbed."

"No, you're welcome. I'm just worried...."

She seems to have a clear idea of the fugitives. And unwavering confidence also emerged from being taken.

Harun thought that maybe his recovery was of no use.

"But you travel?"

"Yes? Oh, right."

In a virtual reality game, the user is a traveler.

Elzer at a glance discovered that he was a traveler because of his modest attire and humble appearance.

"Maybe you saved my life. How can I repay you?"

"No, I don't think so at all."

Harun now smiles brightly because his attitude has changed. He thought it would be better to avoid Harun, who felt strange in her appearance.

But that feeling disappeared everywhere she said.

"Let me know if you need any help with something like a novice traveler just got here. If there's anything I can do to help, I can help."

It changed her impression for a moment.

She may still be a kind-hearted girl rather than a first impression. You have a good heart. Well, I don't have the courage to look at her face, so I still can't tell if she's pretty.

"Well, since I'm new here, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Phew! Ask all you want."

Elser looks surprised and smiles at him. I like this novice traveler, who said he would be enough to help, but ended up asking a few questions.

"I'm going to get some ice cream. Shall we talk there?"

"Yes, that's better. But I don't have much money..."

Harun had a lot to say about this city, or the world, but he had no choice but to look back on her proposal. If you talk while eating ice cream together, you will hear a lot of stories.

However, the inventory had only 10 silver pieces. I was a little anxious because I didn't know what the price of this place was.

"Hehe! I've been blessed, of course I should buy it. And ice cream is only a short price."

"I can't do that. In the first place, I have to pay for that, too."

Her face turned strange. I already felt that Harun didn't think he had helped her. Elser's body remains undiscovered, but the opposing team seems to already have some idea.

"It's very important for me to know the information about this place."

Harun was looking for general information about this place and a way to get an education. Of course, Bell could have figured it out, but such information could not have already been published on the Internet.

"Whoever pays, just go. I got into the castle late for work today, and a friend who was always with me went out on a date, so I was bored by myself."

Elzer reaches out his hand first. Harun hesitates, but eventually he grips her hard.

She was much more lively than she looked. If the palm of his hand was not rough and rough, he might have considered her a normal girl. Perhaps personality will also be reconciled.

"The name Harun is a little unusual. I wasn't born here either. When I was a child, I followed my mercenary parents from the Botanical Lands."

It was Harun who had no idea where the boatness territory was. However, in order to have a conversation, I had to find a common topic, but from the meadow, it became difficult to communicate.

But fortunately, Elser was cheerful. She's not the type to talk as she goes along with the other person's reaction.

"Maybe they don't even know what a wine-producing state they're traveling in."

"Ah… I'm on my first trip, so I don't know anything. Even the Empire..."

"Oh, so you're a complete novice?"

"Yes."

Even though Harun's voice was exhausted, Elsa didn't care much for his attitude.

I came to the cafe and was more concerned about the price than I was about talking to Elzer. I couldn't help but notice his timid personality.

"Thank God!"

Ice cream was 80 bronze per capita. I don't know exactly how much a silver is worth, but it would be at least 100 bronze in general currency.

Then I had the time to look around, so I breathed a sigh of relief without knowing it.

"How old are you?"

Suddenly I don't know why that is.

"She's 19 years old. Why...?"

"Phew! You're with me. I didn't think so. Then may I speak freely?"

"Yes? So... Oh, right."

"Phew! This is so stupid."

"Yes?"

I think I picked the wrong person to ask. She was a girl with a knack for messing things up. He and a girl with an unfamiliar yet strange atmosphere made me completely out of my mind.

"Has someone you've never met been too distracted? I'm glad he's never talked to me before. There's no man in this town to talk to."

"That's ……."

She was the one who spoke the big words. I don't know what you mean by no man talking to her in this town.

'Maybe Elser is a great figure in the darkness...' '

"Plus, I threw myself at them at a dangerous moment and told them of the raid. You saved my life."

Elser smiles with a sparkle in his eyes.

That's the way the horse sounds, but there's a lot of playfulness.

In fact, I wasn't sure if it was helpful. Her attitude seemed to have already been anticipated. I still couldn't believe it, but I felt like I had the ability to handle it.

His expectations will be correct. One observation was confident Harun.

"I'm a bit of a roughneck in this archipelago. No man is trying to talk to me right now because he's impressed and he's in an accident. Except for the guards in the water. They're friends now, so they're not even men."

Harun nods only at the Federation. I had nothing else to say. I didn't know who she was, so I didn't have anything to say.

"Impressive"? It doesn't look like that... '

Then the waiter came and turned on the little lamp that looked like magic. Harun's bright light gives him a closer look at her face.

She looks at Harun's face with interesting eyes and asks.

"You're better than you look. Even though I told you I'm a scary person... are you okay? Are you okay?"

"That's okay, then."

Elser gives a joyful smile to Harun's reply. The face itself was not that pretty, but its sharp eyes and squinting eyes were really fascinating.

And the face...

What is it?

Looking closely, her left face felt unnatural. There was a long scar that I did not know unless I saw it in daylight or under the light. From the forehead to just above the lips. There was a big scar on his chin and under his ear.

The scars twitch as she smiles.

The scar was not the only one there. Some followed a slightly revealed deep clavicle and some visible on the neck.

Now I can see why men won't talk to her. But he couldn't be surprised by the look on her face, either, because she had seen a lot of rough corpses working in makeup.

It was just a little sad to be wearing those scars at a young age like a medal.

Am I not surprised? '

Her eyes were as fierce as those of many scars and beasts, and she felt rather odd.

"Yeah, you said you wanted to ask me something, right?"

"Yes! I don't really know anything about the world I live in. Anything. I need you to tell me about this place."

"Well, it turns out you're a total bumpkin. Is that all you had to ask? At that rate... No, you saw one person well. I hold the eclipse tight."

"I wish I could tell you about the world we live in. Me, I've lived so long in the walls."

Elser did not doubt Harun that he knew nothing about this world because he was naturally shy and stuttering. There were still many people in the world who did not know the outside world except near their village.

It was natural that the influence of feudal lordship limited to considerable freedom before residence, and monsters all over the world made it difficult to see soldiers, merchants, and mercenaries.

"Don't worry! I'll tell you everything."

Her confident attitude is cute. Suddenly, I was curious about her identity, but I didn't want to ask.

Harun focuses on Elser's words while eating ice cream.

This virtual reality stage consists of three continents and four oceans. Although he is located on the continent of Sirus, the Muro and Tyreese continents are to the east and west, only a few merchants have traveled or exchanged, as the vast ocean, which is twice as wide as the continents, is too rough to navigate.

On the continent of Sirus lies three empires and thirty-one kingdoms, where Elser and his people live. An empire was formed 801 years ago. Unlike the other two empires, they were enemies, allies, and opposers, depending on the situation.

The other two empires were formed around the same period as the Theon Empire, some historians argued that the emperors of the three empires knew each other well.

Cyrus continent is more mountainous than flat terrain, and monsters have been invading more frequently than they can afford to wage war with each other.

Many common monsters like Orcs, as well as Trolls known as the top monsters, or Ogres, frequently invade human realms. Although civil war is unlikely to be a major war between countries, he said.

'Hmm, humans are not yet in a unique position in this world. Maybe it's better this way.'

As long as there was a common enemy, the war between humans would not be so severe.

According to human history, many wars have caused horrific things to kill the same people, but this was different. It's packed with enormous monsters that the same humans work together to deal with.

And here, in the capital of the Theron Empire, Floren is a multimillion-living metropolis that has played a great role as the economic, cultural and political center of the empire.

"Then why have you come all the way to the eclipse? I don't think you've made a mistake, and I don't think you're qualified or capable of traveling in your current state."

"That……."

I couldn't figure out what to tell Elser about the NPC. It was hard to deal with because it felt too vivid to be seen as NPC.

The NPCs I met in the previous game didn't have a lot of expressions, and they were sort of assistants or watchers of their gaming activities, but the NPCs here felt completely different. He came close to being alive, almost indistinguishable from himself.

"Actually……."

Harun tries to identify himself as a heretic, but he lies because he doesn't know how she'll get out.

It felt strange to lie to NPC, but I couldn't help but feel so real. I didn't have to worry about other games. NPCs recognize users, so there is no need to lie like this.

Harun said he is an orphan, and until recently he had lived with his sick grandfather who could hardly behave here and in the mountains a week away.

It was so desolate that there were so few monsters there that there was no problem in living until now, except for asking for food. After my grandfather died, I couldn't live there alone, so I came here.

"Oh, my God! You poor thing. So you didn't know anything about the world."

She nods, expressing her sympathy for the Federation.

"My body is like this because I live in a place where there's so little to eat. I've been coming here for two days, and I feel like I have a lot to learn and learn to survive in this world. Is there somewhere I could be? For the record, I only have 10 silver coins."

Elsa's expression changed from time to time as if she was pathetic and pathetic, and she drank the remaining juice in a heartbeat. Her eyes glisten strangely.

"Great! I like that you look at me and don't be afraid to introduce me."

"Uh, where?"

"Just follow me and listen. It's time to close the door a little later."

Harun is dragged out of the room in a hurry by her hand.

There were still many people on the streets who were busy doing what they were doing. But unlike before, there was something strange about walking next to her.

Dodging her eyes, as if people hadn't seen it yet, as well as some even glanced at her with frightened eyes. The more people who looked mean, the more prone they were to it, and there were quite a few who ran away the moment they saw her.

Who the hell is Elser? '

Of course, the scar on her face did not seem like an ordinary girl, but it did not prevent her from being unattractive. This reaction seemed a bit excessive, even if it belonged to a dark group, such as a violent organization.

Having been so curious, Harun, who was dragged into her hands for more than twenty minutes, arrived in front of a massive building.

Even though the walls were not visible how long, there were several consensual large buildings with distinct contours in the dark through the gates guarded by two of the crests.

"Excuse me for a moment…… Hustle, Cho!"

"Yes, it's me. Open the door!"

One of the men guarding the door approaches, recognizes her, and quickly steps back. Then, as you send the signal, the great iron gate slowly opens.

"Where am I?"

"Yes, this is one of my primary residences."

Even Elzer's explanation did not drown Harun's doubts. I couldn't figure out why she brought herself here or what she really was.

After a short walk along her again, you see a large building in front of her with a faint magic lamp lit.

"This is the guild headquarters for mercenaries of the Terron Empire."

"I see. But it's enormous."

"That's right. There's even a mercenary academy inside. It's the best place for a weak traveler like you to learn all the knowledge and skills of knowing the world and living alone."

"Why?"

"Hehe, this is where you need to be. That building over there is mercenary academy. Some assholes, of course, call themselves mercenary training centers."

Harun assumes that the bastards are knights, but he can't say anything more. I had no idea it was an academy where she brought mercenaries.

"But this is where you live?"

"Yes, I usually travel around the mercenaries on tour maps, but sometimes I work outside as well as in the Merchant Guild Protection Guild promotion when I have time."

"Really?"

I didn't expect to be the instructor guiding mercenaries at the target, although I did have a few scars.

It was also hard to believe that he was less than twenty years old when he taught others how to use a sword. I couldn't find any of her swordsmanship anywhere I recognized as a woman at the first encounter.

"I'll take care of it. You just stand there. so you can learn as much knowledge as you want and learn as many skills as you want."

Harun nods, not saying anything, because he was dragged to a place he didn't think of.

When I opened the door, I saw a large space. A few desks and a few tables were on the front end.

"Hey, Elzer! You're back early."

I thought there was no one. Someone at one of those desks recognized her and greeted her.

"I didn't have much fun today. Without Seria, I didn't see any of them running around the mall."

"I will. The Red Eagles you beat up last time, they're gonna be on their guard. Be careful, though! The Dark Merchant Guild, their elite, will poison you to death. Those filthy bastards use poison, so even if they stab you once, it's over."

"I almost died today, but this guy saved my life."

"What?"

I was surprised by what he said, and the man jumped up and ran.

He was a man in his thirties who felt like his whole body was made of muscles. You must be very close to Elzer if you see him running around surprised by the danger.

"So? Are you okay? Any injuries?"

The man seemed to care about Elser quite a bit. I thought she might be a lover, but I couldn't draw a picture properly.

"It would have been dangerous if this guy hadn't told me what he was after. When I saw the runaway swords, the poison came with a blue glow. I almost died if I didn't."

"That's good. If you're wrong... Ugh, my heart flutters." "

"Hehe!"

The conversation seemed very intimate.

"But did you just say you're friends?"

"Yes! That's right. We're supposed to be friends."

"Friend? Elzer has a friend?"

The ugly face of Heavy and hard body strangely distorts. Like you didn't see it.

Harun stands speechless, unable to intervene in conversation, with an unexpected tale.

"Why, can't I have friends?"

Elser's eyebrows twitched as if his attitude was clumsy. Then he quickly waves his hands and relaxes his eyes.

"No, no! I've never heard you say" friend "before. He looks a little poorly, but he's still a man. Wouldn't I be surprised if Elzer in the underworld, called Silver Haired Witch, had a boyfriend in our mercenary system?"

It was quite a feat to be called a silver-haired witch.

"Hehe! We're not men and women, we're friends. Don't get me wrong. But he was the only one who didn't tremble at my face, so he ate my friend."

"He wasn't shaking at you? That creepy dude?"

"Yes! He smiled at my scars."

Even though she didn't respond to what she said, her eyes were blank and her mouth was like, "No way! I felt like '.

He looks like a woman because of the scar, but I can't believe there's never been a man who talked to her. However, it seemed right from a man's reaction.

"Is Elser really that dangerous? '

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn't understand. Harun bows his head to look at Elzer, his gaze shifting, as if he had been struck backwards with a hammer.

"My name is Harun."

"Ah! I'm Mackin, executive officer of Mercenary Academy. It's not what it looks like. Anyway, it's nice to meet a brave man."

With curious eyes, Elser grabs his arm.

"Let me talk to you for a second."

The two of them walked to one corner. Harun, who was left alone, was a little dazed because he didn't completely accept the situation that suddenly led him to the mercenary academy.

But soon after their voices grew, Harun came to his senses and could hear all of their conversations.

"You want me to put you through basic training? Elzer, are you serious?"

"Yeah, I think he's weak at the door, but maybe he'll get better with his training. And you don't have to be physically competent to be a mercenary. People like Gerros are top mercenaries, even when they're weak."

"That's it, because in his case, he's wise, and the basic process would be difficult for that body."

"She looks like her body, but she's not unusual to the way I feel. He took my gaze with great confidence and warned me of my danger without fear of those poisoned swords. He's a great friend. You know I have a good eye for people."

"That's it, but not this time. It doesn't look like it's made it through basic training. Plus, you're a celebrity, but it's hard to take you as a trainee with your recommendations."

"That's why I'm asking you. Oh, yeah! If you think that's gonna be a problem, you can take him as a trainee."

Elzer shines his eyes as if it were a good idea.

"Trainee? Oh, that'll do. He's a trainee. He won't be a problem later. I got a recommendation, but I don't have the money to train while I'm working. Well, then you can't."

Then McKinn nods.

Harun's mind flashes as he hears their conversation.

I don't know the details, but Elsa seems to be trying to put him on a basic training course at this mercenary academy for the first time I met him.

"Elzer, if it's because of me, don't overdo it. I met you for the first time today...... You don't have to do this."

Harun meant it.

I hadn't been forced into it. Of course, there was some reliance on Elzer, the NPC that was firmly positioned in the world.

However, unlike other games, there was no proper guide and it was too ambiguous, so I asked Elser in case she had never seen it before. It was too burdensome for her to be responsible for anything.

"Hey, Harun! Don't feel burdened. You're a working-class trainee. You don't have to thank me for that. It's going to be hard."

"But you can't go into the process without your recommendation. Thank you so much."

"No, thank you for selling my name to my first friend. You tried to save my life."

Harun is no longer able to speak.

Though I had only just met her, and her actions were different from what she thought, she believed she was a friend, so I thought I could act accordingly.

I did not know the details, but I was convinced that the basic training process was a necessary process for him to have weak flesh and lack of knowledge. Of course, Elser thanked me so much for making this opportunity.

Harun is willing to accept her favor.

"Thank you, Elzer. I'm not gonna be anyone to you."

"You're welcome, my friend."

The two people unconsciously gazed at each other without knowing the user and NPC.

"Haha! I congratulate Elzer on his first friend. Hey, Harun. Finish this course well. Me and Elzer will make it up to you real good."

McKean smiles faintly.

The age difference was also quite good, but the way I looked at her, I felt very fond of Elser. The thick scar on McKinn's face seems to be smiling.

"The basic training you will receive is three months. I'm a tour instructor for the mercenaries, so I won't be able to visit you, but I'll tell your faced instructors. The basic course is a special instructor's jurisdiction, so it's hard to help, but if you think it's absolutely necessary, ask McKinn for help."

"Thank you!"

I have nothing else to say but thank you.

The capsule, the existence of Elser, and too good things were happening. It seems that the misfortune that had never left his side has gone away. His eyes are filled with moisture.

"Son! That's why I'm even weirder. Anyway, let's get through the process and see you on the outside."

Elsa looks happy, though.

He accompanied me to the dormitory of basic training for a long time, even though I wasn't in charge. After talking to the people who looked like instructors, Harun showed me where to stay.

Elzer was also an instructor, but was unable to enter the male dormitory.

Harun was excited to be separated from her. It was fortunate that a new process would begin from tomorrow. You don't have to come in the middle.

In fact, Harun, who had been transferred several times because of the change in his dependency in reality, knew how difficult it was to get into a stable group.

The group of existing students rarely welcomed new members later. Harun, who had a lot of immunity, ended up being a loner.

However, the dormitory where he stayed was from, so he had to wear a Mana restraint bracelet, and it took him some time to act like he was from the Wizard.

'That's a pretty big room. I like it.'

The room McKean showed me was quite large.

There were beds, desks, chairs, small wardrobes as well as bathrooms with bathtubs. It was much larger and more comfortable than the space that lived in reality.

"Wow! Does Mercenary Academy have a lot of money?" I can't believe you let me have this room all by myself! '

It was Harun with his mouth wide open.

After leaving Elzer at the headquarters, Mr. McKean announced a few more basics and left.

I feel like I'm left alone. I've been there a few times, so I can forget about it. At the end of the hard day, Harun arrived at a place where he could still lie down, feeling tired and lying in bed.

"I was lucky, though. You did a great job helping Elser. This is how we got to the mercenary academy. I don't know what kind of game this is, but it's so vivid it feels more real than real."

I really felt like I was living in another world. It was like a dream that I had no quest and had no job at the store and participated in a process like a school.

Is this really possible? If you stay here, you might get confused about what's real. '

I felt like I could sleep well today.

I decided to disconnect and go gather information about this Beyond, but I didn't want to now. He didn't have the urge to level up quickly enough to become a ranker.

In fact, I haven't slept well in my life. Since the situation was unnoticed because of the change in the dependent family several times, I was so worried that I had to lie on my bed and turn around for a while before I could sleep.
