Regression Is Too Much

Chapter 16

16 – The status bar is too unfriendly (3)

Have you ever played the game Maple Leaf Story?

This game forces you to catch more than a certain number of monsters as a daily quest or event, but this is not just any monster.

Monsters within your level and within a certain range. It is commonly called ‘Rebeommon’.

This is a measure taken to slaughter too weak monsters so that they cannot easily eat the reward…

[The difference in rank with the monster is extreme, so you cannot gain experience.]

Seeing this message, I wonder if it’s because of my mood that I’m reminded of that game.

“… Ha.”

Let’s take a rough guess… The word ‘gyeok’ written in the message window is very disturbing.

Probably, in TOP’s judgment, a bastard like me with EX-class skills must look like a ridiculous munchkin.

Actually, it may not be a wrong judgment.

Someday, if a lot of time passes, I might become a monster that no one dares to touch.

Just the fact that I could return infinitely would have raised my existence dozens of levels.

But at this point, this is nothing more than an act of violence.

How many goblins have I killed?

How hard I worked through the grass.

I did my best, but I can’t use the stat window that everyone else has, and I can’t even get the level just because I have a cheating skill?

From my point of view, all I can say is that it’s really f*cked up.

I confirmed that the achievement level is maintained even if I return, so if I could get a normal level, I could have become stronger much more easily.

Apparently, the person who gave me the ability to return didn’t want me to go there comfortably.

He let out a sigh and turned his gaze to the anchovies.

Hearing that food came after killing a strong goblin, a slightly ominous imagination came to mind.

“It’s anchovies.”

“Yes, bro.”

“Tell me everything you got from killing a big goblin.”

“Uh… A golden bead… With experience… “

“And?”

“Ah, there was a 500ml bottle of water, a bucket, and two large boxes of chocolate bars. I had few leftovers to feed the goblins I rule, but… Can I get you some leftovers?”

“… A chocolate bar came out?”

“Yes!”

Chocolate bars. Chocolate bar. Up to a bottle of water.

This is a component that is often seen anywhere.

To be precise, it is a component that I often saw when I was stuck in an empty lot like an unemployed man doing nothing.

“… Hmm.”

Choi Ji-won has a keen sense of seeing the surroundings clearly even though he only wields a sword in a corner of the empty lot.

Couldn’t she detect the presence of a particularly strong monster?

I’ve caught quite a few goblins. They sometimes drop food, but more often they drop something useless.

However, Choi Ji-won always brought good quality food, even packaged.

If…

If Choi Ji-Won had selected and defeated only strong monsters, and all the food he brought to the clearing was obtained by catching strong monsters…

Choi Ji-won must have gotten a lot of golden marbles in every episode.

And the problem is that I just found out about it for the first time.

“… “

She said that she hid the golden orb even after she got it.

“It has nothing to do with this murder, right?”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”

“Okay, let’s do our best.”

It seemed that I had obtained all the information to eat roughly, so I stopped letting go of the anchovies.

I also learned a secret of the status window.

I also got a new trait that seemed good but bad.

She also figured out a way to get the golden orb.

I gained a lot from this episode. Of course, I had no intention of going back like this.

There are three major pieces of information that I need to find out while repeating regression.

First. How to get the Golden Orb and where it is located.

Second. Boss position.

Third. The location of the Minotaur that killed me.

I figured out the first of these. As for the exact location, if you repeat the regression, the data will accumulate.

After time passes and enough rounds are accumulated, you may be able to figure out the location of all 50 golden marbles.

And if you are curious about the location of the Minotaur… The reason is simple.

Minotaurs are really, really strong.

Choi Ji-Won, who boasts of unparalleled military power by acquiring the Gaesagi trait, is really f*cking strong, to the point where victory is unpredictable.

Anyone who has read web novels will have noticed this here.

This bastard. The smell of the hidden boss wafts up.

A monster that appears in the tutorial and is powerful enough to make you think it wasn’t made to win.

Returning from the future, the main character manages to defeat the hidden boss using a mysterious technique and gets a valuable reward that no one has ever found.

My goal was also the same.

If one day I’m strong enough, wouldn’t it be possible to defeat the Minotaur?

If the day comes when I pass the tutorial stage, it will be after I catch the Minotaur.

The prerequisite for this is to know the location of the Minotaur in advance.

I’m in a position to return even if I get hit by one, so it’s inefficient to sit in an empty lot for a week until he comes back.

It would be right for me to constantly visit and hit the head.

And the last thing you need to know is the location of the boss.

It was also the goal that I am moving to find now.

“Hmm… It’s really big here.”

No matter how much other people’s work is not my part-time job, I’m not a cold-blooded person who doesn’t mind watching people die.

As a regressor, once I can figure out the location of the boss, it’s only a matter of time before I can defeat him.

There is a way to save everyone, but isn’t it too hearty for me to go to the next step alone?

Of course, I’m sure I’ll skip the ones with yellow buds like Yangachi that I killed earlier, but… Anyway, I’m willing to catch the boss and open the portal to save everyone.

“Write… “

I must have walked in a straight line for about two hours.

Repeated grass, trees, rocks, grass trees.

I didn’t see any suspicious caves or primitive huts where a boss might be seen.

What has changed is the smell.

The faint smell of rotting fish wafted from somewhere.

Again, the terrain here is more like a jungle.

Suddenly the smell of rotting fish in the jungle? I felt that it didn’t suit me a bit.

“… Should I go?”

If you find something strange, it’s natural to check it yourself.

I walked along the smell of rotting fish, and after walking a little more, I finally arrived at my destination.

“Hmm… “

The background made of grass and trees that seemed to repeat forever has disappeared.

What stretched out before my eyes was literally an endless swamp.

Even when I turned my head left and right, I could only confirm that this swamp was huge.

I have never seen such a large swamp in my life. It feels like looking at the sea.

Common sense makes it impossible for a swamp to be so wide, but… Because this is the top.

Based on what I’m seeing now, I guess the tutorial area looks like an island surrounded by a large swamp.

Well, it wouldn’t make sense to say that his name is Top, but his range of activities is infinitely wide.

This swamp is ‘Don’t go over here? Just play inside, man,” Seems to have been kindly marked by TOP.

Of course, if you ignore the swamp and go forward, you will suddenly reach the wall of the tower, and if you touch the bricks there, a hidden piece will pop out. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to.

“… This is not it.”

From noble mtl dot com

I didn’t even want to set foot in the eerie looking purple swamp, where ominous bubbles occasionally rose.

No, just looking at it, it looks poisonous. You can’t even see any signs of life.

If you throw a small squirrel into it, it’s a visual that only bones will float up after a while.

No matter how much I return, I refuse to step inside.

Needless to say, it was close to suicide.

“…Now, let’s go somewhere else.”

Since I came this far, I thought it would be okay to walk all the way along the outskirts.

Since it is the outermost area, the boss could be nearby.

Just like pushing a mob off a cliff in a game, if you drown the boss in a swamp, you might win easily without fighting.

“Now then… “
