<Breakthrough>

The man stared at the contents of the cell phone screen, speechless.

A rare card.

He couldn’t figure out what the card rating system would look like here, but he knew “rare” would never be a low rating.

The man couldn’t believe it. It was hardly understandable to see something like this in the early stages, in this reality that was similar to a game.

“Perhaps… Is it because I caught the saber-toothed tiger and all the wolves?”

The conditions for completing the previous quest were to keep the bonfire until the morning.

However, in a situation where there was a lack of firewood, he had thought of a strategy to make the beasts fight each other, and as a result, he succeeded in killing them all.

Could this have something to do with compensation? For example, the concept of clearing the bonus stage.

It is virtually impossible for a bare-handed man to catch the wolves and the saber-toothed tiger at the same time.

Catching all the wild beasts is not possible unless he was lucky. And he was.

Is it possible that the high-ranking Fear Pack card, which was originally scheduled to be released in the future, has been acquired due to the achievement of such an impossible task?

“Exactly…”

The man nodded. Indeed, if this were the case, it would not be difficult to understand that such a card appeared.

The man thought again. If his assumptions are correct, the other quests may be the same.

In other words, in addition to the basic completion conditions, all quests have an additional completion condition as a concept of a bonus stage.

And if you clear this, you will be given additional rewards, such as an increase in the rank of the card would be released.

“I need to check this.”

The man registered the Fear Pack (R) card in the slot. Then a brief warning message is displayed.

Caution!

In the case of skill cards, if the same cards of different ranks are registered at the same time, other skill cards except for the highest skill card are invalidated.

→ Do you still want to register the ‘Fear Pack (R)’ card? (Y/n) _

“Is this a limit?”

Of course, it’s a natural limitation. Without these restrictions, it would be possible to register multiple Fear Pack cards until you get to 100% fear.

“By the way… What exactly is the Fear effect?”

Then a popup opens, and a help window appears.

Fear

: Gives fear to the targeted enemy, making it impossible to counterattack.

Default duration: 1 second

―The farther the character level and target level difference, the longer the duration.

“It’s just a moment if it’s just a second.”

Even if the fear-inducing effect is 100%, there is no guarantee that even if you hit an additional hit within 1 second, you will not be continuously attacked.

In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to match the skill cooldown time to meet the time limit of most 1 second.

Of course, there may be an effective usage depending on the use of this, but for now, he felt that stunning an enemy for 1 second was meaningless.

“I need to think about this.”

The man also checked the refresh rate with his excitement.

The refresh rate is the amount of stamina and stamina that is regenerated per unit time, and 10 percent means that 10 percent of the maximum is regenerated per unit hour, but 10 percent of the original refresh rate is increased.

The higher the refresh rate, the better the option to bring out the skill.

Since 5% of the damage is added to this, if you use Biting, you will see an effect of increasing the damage by up to 10%.

The man removed the original Fear Card from the slot and inserted the Fear Card (R) card.

He didn’t feel any different physically, but he felt proud that he has a rare card equipped.

Upon completing the skill card registration, a new quest arrived.

Start the tutorial.

5. Go through the forest.

― Based on your experience so far, go through the forest in front of you. There are many unexpected obstacles and powerful beasts in the forest, so be careful.

“…”

The man looked at the jungle in front of him.

Even when the day was bright, the surroundings were still dark, and the place where the man was located was not so high, so it was hard to estimate how wide the forest in front of his eyes would be.

If you go into the dark forest like that and meet the wolves of last night or a wild beast like the saber-toothed tiger, he’ll become a helpless prey.

But the tutorial was also suggesting a solution.

That’s right,

“Based on my experience so far.”

… it said.

Last night’s experience revealed that the forest beasts were hesitant to approach fire. In other words, this quest means using a torch or other method to enter the forest with fire and find an exit.

The key is to keep the torch on until you find the exit.

As soon as he realized it, the man began to look for a sturdy branch that could be used as material for a torch.

However, he suddenly came up with a thought and stopped. This is because the idea of ​​the bonus stage came to mind.

In this case, what would be the bonus stage? There were several possibilities.

The first thing he can think of is the speed of arrival to the exit.

However, this is a difficult condition to achieve, unless the location of the exit is known in advance. He wondered if it really depends on luck.

If so, the second one?

In the quest, there are various obstacles and powerful beasts in the forest. What if he removed them all? No, what if he destroyed the biggest obstacle, the forest itself?

A smile formed on his mouth as he looked at the burning campfire and the dark forest alternately.

He had made a decision.

Once the man took the fire from the campfire, he built a new bonfire all over the forest entrance to block the beasts’ access and found the material to be used as a firestarter.

There were a lot of dry vines at the entrance to the forest. He knew these vines would be excellent materials for combustion.

He set the branches and the vines on fire.

Was it because of the dryness of the plants, or because the fire he made was stronger than expected?

Either way, the fire developed its momentum in an instant, as the man intended, and then engulfed the forest with the wind that had just blown.

“Huh…”

The man got a little frightened by the momentum of the wildfire.

He thought that since this was only a tutorial, maybe he had done too much. He got carried away by his anger to the one who seemed to be playing with him.

However, the forest fire had already spread so much. There was no turning back now.

The man calmed down, returned to the first bonfire, and began to cut out the flesh of the saber-toothed tiger and the wolves.

He didn’t know how it would taste like, but he thought it was wise to prepare food before his journey, considering that he didn’t know how huge the forest was.

His knife was so coarse and dull, but he was finally able to cut meat and place them on a skewer. The meat was grilled until it was slightly crispy, and it was carefully packed with leaves.

Once the thick food package was made, he started to make a wooden spear with a long branch.

He sharpened the tip with his knife and placed it on the fire to make it hard.

“Whoa, then shall we go?”

The forest was already black, and shedding sparks from time to time. The only sound was the crackling of burnt tree trunks.

As soon as he entered the forest, he saw burnt corpses of wild beasts that had been caught by the fire.

“Well…”

His eyes hurt from the smoke that was still rising from all over the place. He tore his sleeve and covered his mouth and nose before continuing to walk through the forest.

How far did it go? 

Suddenly, a message notification sound came from the mobile phone.

The man quickly pulled it out and read the message.

Start the tutorial.
