nChapter 4 - Chapter 1: Entry #3

nIn-gong had a level.

nDid the other people in this world have levels?

nIf levels existed, did they have a way to raise their stats like In-gong did?

nAfter hearing In-gong’s question, Carack scratched his chin and replied.

n“Uh...I was level 21 the last time I checked. No, level 22? Why do you ask?”

nThis was a summary of what he learnt.

nLevels existed in this world.

nHowever, it was impossible for people to directly check their status window like In-gong.

nThey didn’t know their detailed stats and it was also impossible to distribute additional points.

nThey could only see their level through a level measurement spell.

nThe concept of raising their level to become stronger was non-existent. They just trained hard and fought, making their levels increase.

n‘Then don’t I have a great advantage?’

nOnce In-gong levelled up, not only was his stamina and magic restored but all his stats also rose. Considering that he could allocate additional points, he had tremendous growth potential.

n‘If he doesn’t know about the mini-map or inventory... Can’t this be considered my unique ability?’

nOf course, there might be someone else in this world who had been transported after playing Knight Saga: Re. But when comparing In-gong to the people of this world, he had a unique ability.

nA smile formed on In-gong’s face.

nAlthough he was now weaker than Villager A, it was only for the moment. If he gained two more levels, each stat would have 11 points! That was stronger than Villager A who had an average of 10 stat points.

n‘Considering the extra points, I would be much stronger.’

nHe couldn’t help feeling pained when thinking about being compared to Villager A. The starting point was so low.

n‘Anyway.’

nThe next important thing was the presence or absence of skills. Magic spells and skills did exist in this world and the process of learning it wasn’t much different from In-gong’s. It was possible to acquire skills by training hard.

n'But I have something different.’

nAfter reaching level two, the extra stat points weren’t the only things he obtained. He also received skill points. Naturally, investing skill points would allow the level of his skills to grow.

n“Ohuhu.”

nIn-gong couldn’t hold back his laughter. Carack was still paying attention but he couldn’t suppress his happiness.

n‘Yes, I should have at least this much compensation when arriving in a different world!’

nIf he didn’t have such compensation, he would just die as Shutra.

nCarack frowned as In-gong kept laughing.

n

"Prince, are you really okay? This state...”

n“I’m okay, I’m okay. Rather, I’m very good. Should I continue to run?”

nHe wondered how many levels he could gain just be running. However, Carack glanced at In-gong and shook his head.

n“Um...no. You seem a little strange but you are more energetic than before.”

nCarack turned and guided In-gong to an open space.

n

"I heard that Prince can use a sword. Can you show me?”

nHe was given a wooden sword. It seemed like a toothpick in Carack’s hands, but it was heavy to In-gong.

n

"Uh...you want to see my swordsmanship?”

n“Just swing it a few times. I need to know what level you are at.”

nIt was quite a rude demand but Carack didn’t seem to be insulting him. The running made it clear that Carack was training him.

n‘I’m going crazy.'

nIn reality, In-gong had never learnt kendo. At best, he would playfully spar with friends using a broom when it was cleaning time.

nIn-gong grasped the wooden sword in a neutral position and took a deep breath. Then he swung the sword like a baseball bat.

nYou have learnt Basic Swordsmanship Lv1.

n“Huh?”

nIn-gong stood there looking at himself instead of swinging the wooden sword. He opened the skills window reflexively and invested his skill points without any hesitation.

nBasic Swordsmanship Lv2

nThere were no physical changes. However, In-gong recognized it instinctively.

n‘I have changed. No, I've learnt.’

nHe changed the way he held the sword. He increased the gap between his legs and for the first time, made a clear trajectory with the sword.

n“Hmm?”

nCarack made a sound. In-gong was enjoying it a little bit and asked,

n“What is it?”

n

"No, your movements are suddenly good.”

nSo, he tilted his head to the side. His face seemed like he had witnessed something incomprehensible.

nIn-gong couldn’t help grinning happily at Carack’s reaction.

n'Okay, I really can do it.’

nHe could become stronger. He would move forward faster than anyone else.

nThis fact was very important. In-gong couldn’t do anything unless he was strong.

nLet’s assume that modern people entered the game world of the Three Kingdoms. How would he become the ruler of one of the three kingdoms?

nOf course, he would collect talents. No matter what, he would try to secure Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei.

nIf he had Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi under his command? Or a team consisting of Guan Yu and Zhang Liao? Zhang Fei and Xu Chu would also be amazing.

nBut there was one problem. It was meaningless if he didn’t know where to find them.

nDidn’t Liu Bei meet Zhuge Liang in a remote village? Didn’t Yan Baihu find Sun Ce in a brothel?

nIn-gong couldn’t say anything. If he had Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, he would be able to deal with his brother easily.

nThe Yan Baihu of Knight Saga, Shutra, had to find some good people. Otherwise, he might suffer.

n‘Therefore, I have to be strong. I must also determine their locations.’

nHe was the youngest prince who didn’t have strength or power. In-gong needed to utilize the information he had to create a position of strength.

nYour level has risen.

nHe had kept swinging his sword while thinking. It seemed like he was growing rapidly.

nIn-gong was one step closer to the stats of Villager A, so he wielded the sword again. His stamina was restored thanks to the level up and he kept wielding the sword for a while.

n‘Can I reach level 5 if I keep swinging for today and tomorrow?’

nCarack said that Shutra came here for practical experience. So he had to raise his level as high as possible before leaving.

n‘Come to think of it.’

nThe first encounter. Chris and Caitlin were in charge of different unit. Then was this something like a joint operation?

n“Carack, I was wondering something.”

n

"What?

"

n

"Are there any plans to fight? I should have plans for a meeting with Chris and Caitlin.”

nHe thought that a meeting might be a little difficult.

nHe wasn’t In-gong but Shutra in this place.

nWhat if the two people hated him?

n‘Would it be surprising?'

nNo, could he change anything in the first place? Wasn’t it only his outward appearance that was the same as Shutra?

nSomething bad could happen. He could use the excuse of a fever with Carack because he was an orc, but Chris and Caitlin were different. He needed to prepare before he met them.

nCarack replied to In-gong’s question.

n

"Of course there is a meeting. Don’t you remember?”

n“No. Anyway, when is it?”

nSurely, there wasn’t a meeting every day, right?

nIn-gong stared at Carack who replied bluntly.

n“Today.”

n
