Academy Student With 999 Speed

1 – Face to face (1) [R]

Celtic Academy.

It is a name I will never forget.

Super hit game that became a hit all over the world. ‘The Life of Arhan’.

I was a so-called deceased person who played the game enthusiastically enough to be mentioned by communities in various countries.

“…… Who’s playing a joke now. What the hell is this?”

By the way, why are you sending me a message that you passed the exam?

Besides, what the hell is that funny name called ‘Kim Ga-sok’?

I have a proper name, ‘Lee Seok-won’.

Suspecting that it was done by a friend who knows me well, I look through my address book, but something is strange.

“…….What is this. Why is no one registered?”

Not only that.

Cell phones are not originally mine.

From the beginning, the design is far from the current one.

Could such a thin cell phone exist?

“No way.. This… Isn’t it.”

Raise your head and look at the door leading outside.

With trembling hands, let’s carefully open that door and go out, otherwise.

“………..Crazy…”

There was a surprisingly exotic landscape.

Between tall glass buildings, thousands of people in armor and weapons roam the streets.

I wondered if we were going to have a cosplay party, so I tried to escape from reality for a while, but

A huge portal of unrealistic size spread out in the center of the city blocked it.

“Ha… Ha… Does this… Make sense?”

My mind went blank for a moment.

I closed the door again and entered the room, sweeping my face.

With a trembling voice, I spit out the word I had never thought of.

“S,status open.”

Player Name : Kim Gasok

Occupation: Cadet

Alignment: Neutral

Stamina: 5 Mana: 5 Strength: 5

mana: 5 Speed: 999 Luck: 5

Attributes: [Speed][Upgraded][Acceleration][Blessing of the Windy Moon]

A familiar translucent status window pops up in front of me.

According to the setting of the game, it is a status window that all residents of this world have.

That window really appeared in front of my eyes.

Then, it was only then that I remembered the origin of that funny name.

“….. This name, I guess I made it up roughly…”

In this game, it was possible to play using a character customized by oneself.

You can create your own style of play by setting your own stats and characteristics, as well as your appearance and wealth.

And I became famous for playing this game unusually.

In short, I have been mainly playing with entertainment concepts that do not try to clear through normal methods.

And one of those characters is this ‘Kim Gasok’ character.

Basic stats at a disastrous level, and on the contrary, the speed of 999 stats, which reached the highest level in the game.

Considering that the magic stat of the person called the Archmage in this game was in the mid to late 600s, a figure of 999 can be said to be a naturally impossible stat.

Even I have never reached the highest stat of 999, so it is said that it is a character that I have affection for in my own way.

“Well… By the time I finished making it, it was annoying, so I roughly saved the name and quit…”

After that, this is the result.

If that’s the case, I’d be playing around with something that’s even a decent name.

Apart from the feeling of regret, I myself was in a very bad mood right now.

That’s right, to possess a game character he made himself.

This kind of experience will not be easy for anyone.

“Ha… Ha… Really. Did you really possess a different world…?”

Besides, living in a fantasy world.

As a man, it is impossible not to be thrilled.

“Oh…! Right now, I want to test this uncontrollable speed…!”

So, with a thrilled heart, I decided to go out of the house again.

“Ehhhhh…! Hmmm… Is it because it’s still February…? It’s a bit colder than I thought…?”

While I was thinking about whether I should have worn something on,

A strange window began to open before my eyes.

[Warning! Currently, the character’s body is feeling the cold. If the current state continues, health and stamina will decrease.]

…….?

Cold…?

In a bewildered situation, I stood there dumbfounded.

[Health: 4(-1)/5]

His stamina is starting to get sweeter.

How come… My body is gradually getting tired, it seems that the current situation is not good.

[HP: 3(-1)/5]

“Now, wait a minute…! For now, go home…!”

Even at the moment I’m doing this, my stamina is gradually dropping.

[Health: 2(-1)/5]

“aaa!!!!!!!!”

————————————————————————- —

“Haa… Haa… Barely alive…?”

[Health: 1/5]

[Warning! Health dropped below 20%. Please prioritize physical recovery as much as possible.]

As if to show that he barely survived, the health bar glowed red and a warning message began to appear.

Anyway, why the hell did the cold penalty happen?

That penalty, in the first place, is a penalty that rarely occurs, except in the extremely cold Far East, or gates or dungeons full of snow and ice.

What’s more, this is in the heart of a relatively warm Korean city.

“In the first place, even if your physical strength is only about 200, you can safely withstand the mild cold… Ah.”

And, only then did I accurately grasp my situation.

In order to achieve a speed of 999, which is normally an impossible figure, I was forced to give up other options.

All basic stats such as strength and stamina were given up, and even the attributes were only composed of those that were affected by speed.

Because his physical strength was only 5, which was only in the single digits.

It was the fact that this body was penalized even in that level of cold.

Actually, when I first made it, I thought there was nothing wrong with it.

Traits related to combat correction?

Anyway, it is a problem that can be sufficiently solved with physical training trained over tens of thousands of hours.

If this is a game.

Now is the reality.

It means I have to move myself.

I, who used to play comfortably at home, let alone fight, can’t get used to real combat.

Insufficient stats?

I can make up for what I lack through events and events within the academy.

However, I am still in a state before entering the academy.

Then, I discovered the most horrifying fact, which I really don’t want to believe.

“….. Is this character… Not in the position of the ‘protagonist’…?”

Special events and events at the academy.

Encounters with various characters and romance with heroines.

Top-notch faculty and colleagues who seem to be able to withstand any risk.

All of those things were arranged for the main character.

It means that there is nothing prepared for this unknown ‘Kim Ga-sok’.

From noble mtl dot com

To sum it up, it means that I have to survive in this world from now on, without any support, with this miserable basic stats.

In a word.

f*cked dog.

“What, what is this… Where the hell did my splendid fantasy life go…?”

I couldn’t accept this unbelievable fact.

Why the hell is this character?

Out of all the numerous entertainment characters I have played so far, why did I have to possess such the worst body?

Yes, it didn’t matter at all if things like strength, mana, or mana were low.

It’s an insufficient strength stat. It’s enough to cover it quickly or use a weapon that can utilize speed.

Since I had never used magic or mana in the first place, there must have been difficulties in using them.

However, the fact that it only has 5 HP is too lethal.

Stamina is the most basic stat. It is not the basic HP of a character, but it is also considered important in relation to stamina, which is the amount of activity that can be performed, and resistance.

The fact that this is 5 means that it is literally just a glass body.

You die the moment you brush, hit a wall, get hit by a wide-area attack, or get hit by a blind attack while walking.

What the hell is a speed of 999 good for?

To begin with, I don’t think I’ll be able to move much because I’m short on stamina.

In the midst of great despair and frustration, I had no choice but to hang my head.

————————————————————————- —

When you regain your senses.

I opened my eyes again with anticipation, just in case, but nothing changed.

I was still possessed by this ‘Kim Ga-sok’, and it was the same as lying in the desolate studio.

There is no way to escape from reality anymore.

Now is the time to acknowledge and accept the reality.

If you keep lamenting like this, nothing will change.

“…Anyway. I don’t know when I’ll be able to go back. I’ll have to live with this body for a while…”

Having come to my senses, I decided to look for information about this body.

How many hours did you search like that?

I was able to get some information.

First of all, this body seems to be an orphan with no parents.

There are no traces of photos taken with the family around, and there were documents stating that he once belonged to an orphanage next to the room.

Besides, he has no friends. It seems that it is really the worst of the worst.

I think I’m rather fortunate about this part.

It must be really hard to pretend to know someone you don’t even remember.

Second, since I had already applied for admission to the academy, it seemed like I was going to move to a dormitory in two weeks.

It seems that the housing problem has been solved to some extent.

It seemed to be receiving support from the country.

The problem is admission to the academy, but I don’t know if I can survive in the academy as I am now.

For a while, I thought about canceling my admission to the academy and running away and living somewhere.

In the near-world end-of-the-world story that follows, I decided that developing my skills at the academy would be more helpful to survive.

And finally, the question of money.

“One million credits…? Is this a true story…?”

It seems that it wasn’t just the stat that was cut to raise the speed stat.

Only about 1/10 of the basic character funds remained.

Credit = It’s easy to calculate if you think it’s converted into won.

So, it means that you have to survive with only 1 million won in your current hands.

Had I not entered the academy in the first place, I would have been destined to starve to death.

That means I don’t have a choice.

“I’m really going crazy… Can I really survive…?”

I was realizing the difficulty level of Hell, to the point where I wondered if I had to commit suicide.

But that doesn’t mean this character is complete trash.

It has its own spleen characteristics.

[Attribute: Upgrading]

[If you have higher stats than your opponent during battle, you will receive a correction value for the remaining stats except for the higher stats.]

[Attribute: Blessing of the Poonwol]

[The chance to evade an attack increases in proportion to the speed stat. (Up to 5%, currently 5%)

Active: Increases the chance of avoiding the next attack in proportion to the speed stat. (Maximum 99%)]

Characteristic [Upgrading] Is a characteristic that corrects the stats of the parts that are lacking in battle before acquiring early stat-related items or events.

It’s not bad in that it can fill up the urgent level of physical strength to some extent.

The compensation value is also quite good, so you should be able to survive the early part to some extent.

And [Blessing of the Windy Moon]

This is the most important characteristic.

There is something called evasion in the subject of speed-related characteristics.

This word evasion seems clumsy, so shouldn’t we just evade it at high speed? There may be a question called

In this world, evasion literally means completely avoiding damage.

Even if there are induction performance, wide-area attacks, or attacks that come from an absolutely unavoidable path, when evasion is activated, any attack is avoided as if twisting the space.

The probability of activation is usually very low and completely random, and in order to increase the chance of avoidance, you have to raise the ‘Luck’ stat to a level that is almost impossible to increase.

It’s 5% normally as a speed stat, and having an active skill that can definitively avoid it is the same as having one extra life.

So, this fact is quite a good thing.

But the problem is, I’ve never been in a fight before.

No matter how much stat correction and evasion I do, it is meaningless if I cannot do any damage to the enemy myself.

So, I have no choice but to learn this method myself.

“Two weeks. Until I enter the academy. Until then, at least I have to get used to the basics of fighting and the use of my characteristics. So…”

In the end, you have to step in.

In preparation for the cold, I start wrapping my whole body tightly.

From now on, I have to go out and head to a place where I can train.

Right away, it’s a gym.

————————————————————————- —

“Haa… Haa… Docha Catcher… It’s a Pokemon Gym…!”

I think the bullsh*t came out because I was so tired, but it can be ignored.

Anyway, because of my poor stamina, I managed to make it to the gym with a couple of stops along the way.

Somehow, while I was walking, people around me looked at me with pity, but I am not ashamed of myself, so it’s okay.

‘Walking this distance with 5 stamina… You’ve done a great job…! I am….!’

Anyway, the gym I arrived at is very different from the gyms we know on Earth.

The gym itself is a place prepared for the [Guardians], Who are in charge of all positions in this world, such as heroes, hunters, and so on, and those who aspire to do so.

In addition to that, various ordinary people can freely enjoy the use of attributes and watch duels with others.

Upon arriving at the lobby, the receptionist greeted me with a friendly smile.

“How did you come to find me?”

“Ah, I’m a freshman who will be entering the Celtic Academy this year. I’d like to train in a private room for a week.”

“I see. The cost of using a private room at Smile Gym is 500,000 credits. If the usage period is exceeded, an additional fee will be added on a daily basis, so please check when using it…!”

500000 Credits…

It’s a whopping half of my entire fortune, but I have to think of it as an investment for the future.

With trembling hands, he takes out a card.

“Yes! Have a good time!”

“…Thank you.”

……. Great.

Don’t regret it.

Everything, all you have to do is succeed and pay it back.

Like that, I slowly started walking into the private room.

As I was walking, I caught my eye on the main field.

“Wow… I’m really into the fantasy world…”

Main field shared and used by dozens of people.

There, I saw people doing different exercises.

Flames shoot out of a person’s hand, and he shoots while riding between trees acrobaticly.

Someone wielded a sword, and the other side was training to block with a large shield.

My heart started to jump again when I witnessed a scene I had only seen in games.

Of course, I’m not at the level where I can join them and train with them, but someday I will grow up to be as good as those guys.

Like that, I stopped watching and was about to head back to the private room, but a person caught my eye.

“…….Chunhwa Yoo?”

Silver hair that shines pure white in the light, and black eyes that are deep and dark enough to contrast with it.

A heavy two-handed sword held in opposition to the pale skin and fragile body.

Apparently, a woman in the position of a ‘colleague’ in Arhan’s biography. She was Yu Chun-hwa.

“Why is he training here? Wasn’t it the setting that he doesn’t like places with a lot of people?”

She is a very unique character even within the game.

She was popular enough to rank high in her popularity ranking thanks to her superior performance and extremely beautiful appearance, but the production company did not dig a heroine route.

For her, instead of her heroine route, there is a special route called her ‘friend’ route, which is really grotesque.

First of all, as soon as you take this route, the genre of the game suddenly changes to waste.

As the story of her dark past slowly unravels, the difficulty of the story rises.

In the meantime, Yoo Chun-hwa, who is not even a heroine, begins to obsess over the main character, and in the meantime, trolls completely ignoring the order.

Yu Chun-hwa asks players to duel without even trying, and if she refuses even once, her route will be ruined.

Then, a crazy situation arises where she doesn’t even get Yu Chun-hwa as her teammate, only her difficulty level goes up.

She has to complete her unconditional duel to the end, but she can get her as her ally.

From noble mtl dot com

Besides, if she loses even once to her, her route will be broken.

By the way, Chunhwa Yoo has a special trait called [Sword Spirit].

How much, a strength stat increase for one attribute, support for two-handed sword-related combat situations, and even an additional effect that penetrates quite a bit of defense and inflicts damage.

In short, she is a close combat tyrant.

So right now, there’s nothing good about me being involved with her.

My head will be cut off if I offend her, let alone her comrades.

I decided to just ignore it and quietly go into my private room.

“…….”

For some reason, when the door to the private room closed, I could feel their eyes on me… Maybe it was because of my mood…?

————————————————————————- —

‘Owner.’

“…… Huh…?”

Suddenly, Yoo Chun-hwa and her spirit, Rachel, started talking to her.

I don’t remember calling from this side.

‘I can feel the gaze from behind.’

“………Gaze?”

Then I looked back and saw a man on the other side of the transparent dome turning his head to enter the private room.

No matter how you look at it, he was an ordinary, unmatched man.

“… It’s just… I guess it’s because of his appearance. You’re used to it.”

‘No, it’s not like that, but what to say… It’s because there’s a part that worries me a little.’

I thought he was just a pathetic guy who wanders everywhere, but unexpectedly, Rachel bites and hangs for a long time.

Her true identity is said to be the soul of the Sword Emperor who existed in the past.

Until now, I could understand it because I had keenly felt its power while living together.

However, she didn’t seem like someone who cared.

“… Is that person?”

‘Hmm….. It could be an illusion. It would be better to remember It’s not too bad even by my standards.’

Who the hell is Rachel to care so much about?

For what purpose were you looking this way?

Only unknown questions were increasing, and my head was about to become complicated.

The constant gaze around me was also preventing me from concentrating on my thoughts.

After all, all she could do was remember what the man looked like.

“….. If you’re that kind of person, I’m sure you’ll meet someday.”

While overestimating to the extent that the person in question would be frightened if they heard it.

Meanwhile, the person who is being overrated is now…

“aaa!!! Sleep, wait a minute…! Stop… Stop the violence..!!!!!!”

Inside the private room, I was running away with all my might.
