Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 13

“Should I start doing even simple exercises?”

Tuk-tuk! Lee Ji-won stood up from the capsule, patting her back.

Although his mind was already on beating up new monsters in the North, Lee Ji-won knew little about the North. Because the North wasn’t a place I had in mind.

“Let’s see, what’s north of Narville?”

Jiwon Lee started searching for information. As soon as I searched ‘Northern Arba Kingdom’, information about the nearest village came to mind. Jiwon Lee nodded.

“Veneta, we should use this village as a base.”

Veneta!

It was a huge city in the past, but as the northern environment became more harsh, the city declined. Still, basic facilities such as stores remained, so it was sufficient as a base.

Lee Ji-won’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.

‘Oh, goblins appear on the way to Veneta.’

It was definitely different from the monsters I had hunted so far.

Hare deer bison fox.

They were all familiar monsters seen in reality, but goblins do not exist in reality.

Lee Ji-won seemed to be gaining strength in his fists.

‘Sounds fun, right?’

A new adventure!

It was a natural reaction for Lee Ji-won, who has always loved games. After that, Jiwon Lee imprinted various information into his mind. Lastly, I didn’t forget to learn about spices.

“Oh, just adding some spices makes it a completely new dish?”

The information was that just adding different spices to a dish creates a completely new taste. Because there were few users interested in cooking on Fate, the number of views was low. However, Lee Ji-won felt like she wanted to be happy.

“Let’s see, there are more than 10 spices I received from Kalon…”

Doesn’t that mean that you can increase your stats by 10 times simply by changing and spraying spices? This was information that made me gasp.

The corners of Lee Ji-won’s mouth turned up sinisterly.

“Shall we equip the equipment and use the remaining gold to find some more spices?”

“You can play games well only when you get a good night’s sleep.”

Before going to bed, Jiwon Lee turned on the TV. No matter which channel you turned on, there was a lot of talk about Fate. Indeed, it was accurate to say that Fate had taken over the world.

-The market capitalization of Mage Co., Ltd., which services Fate, broke first place with the highest ever. Nevertheless, Meiji’s stock price rise shows no signs of stopping.

Beep.

-It is said that the number of simultaneous users of Fate has exceeded 30 million. 30 million! That’s a really huge number. As if that wasn’t enough, they are breaking new records for the number of users connected every day.

Beep.

-If you look at the current rankings, the top group has already surpassed level 200. Considering that the average level of the middle-ranking group is 100, this can be said to be a huge difference. This is where you can see the power of the huge guild being revealed.

Lee Ji-won, who was changing TV channels, muttered.

“Now is the start.”

It’s only been 2 months since opening.

Fate has just taken his first step. It will continue to grow tremendously and turn the world upside down. Are you going to stand at the top alone in a fight like that?

To others, it seems like a dream.

However, Lee Ji-won’s thoughts did not change.

‘In the end, it’s me who comes out on top.’

Thing! Lee Ji-won’s passionate gaze was directed at the rankings on TV. Among the top rankers, I saw names that I would never forget.

Ranking 3rd is Kaimus.

Affiliation guild: War machine

ranking 16th place resourcer. Affiliating Guild:

Dazel, ranked 80th in

War Machine .

Guild affiliation: War machine

Lee Ji-won smiled.

“Until then, just enjoy it.”

If you bite me on the back of the neck this time, I won’t miss you again.

Lee Ji-won gathered his will once again.

Turn your course to the north!

X was in full swing preparing to head to Northern Veneta. There was enough fire fox meat to survive the cold, and all that was needed was new equipment.

“Is there a good sword and shield for me to use?”

“Hmm, the price will be a bit higher, is that okay?”

“Don’t worry about the price, just show me.”

I could trust Morgan’s skillful weapons. X bought Morgan a new sword and shield. I spent a total of 100 gold, but it was not a waste.

‘If you give it the fire attribute, it will be completely reborn.’

X took out the essence of flame in a deserted alley.

sword shield bow and deerskin armor.

X took out a total of four potions and carefully opened the lids.

Tiroling!

[Lesser Flame Essence seeps into the item!]

A message appears four times and the attribute assignment is complete.

X looked at the equipment with a satisfied expression.

‘All of them have unique ratings and additional fire attribute damage. The armor has increased cold resistance, right? It’s truly the perfect item for hunting in the North.’

Monsters in the north were strong against cold, but weak against heat.

Even if it was low-level fire attribute damage, they would inevitably suffer great damage.

X is equipped with the optimal equipment for hunting in the North.

“What’s left is inventory expansion and spices?”

Because X was literally overflowing with items, an inventory expansion order form was essential. Even if the price was high, it was not a business that would lose money in the long run.

The same goes for spices. Just spraying it will boost your stats several times.

X headed to Rubin’s general store.

“Oh my god, are you here!”

“Hello, Mr. Rubin. Thanks to the letter of recommendation you wrote, I was able to successfully complete the job. “Can I see the inventory expansion order and spices?”

“Of course, come this way!”

VIP X at the general store!

Thanks to this, X didn’t have to wait for his turn.

The users who were waiting in line swallowed their envy when they saw X.

“Wow, how high is your reputation?”

“That crazy red light… Does it only come from fancy equipment?”

“It’s a great item. “When can I touch it?”

X noticed the users’ gaze. A job where you can enjoy wealth and strength at the same time! Whenever this happened, I felt like a fool for evaluating being a heavenly gourmet as a strange profession.

‘Of course, there are some annoying things.’

A job quest you can’t give up: Reveal the truth about the Gourmet King!

In order to succeed in the quest, he would have to revolt against the kingdom, but X decided to think about it later.

Right now, my head hurts just thinking about it, and becoming stronger was my top priority.

“You’re going to that rough north, so take care.”

“Sure.”

“Then goodbye.”

X bought the items Rubin needed.

The gold used was 120 gold.

Just today, I’ve already spent 220 gold.

“Tsk. “It was a waste, but it was all a meaningful expense.”

X tried to comfort himself and quickened his pace.

The destination is Veneta!

My heart pounded at the new adventure.

*

Adventurers were gathered at the North Gate of Narville.

X glanced at them.

‘There is no user who looks like a beginner. Even if you can’t do it, you’re level 30.’

That meant that you had to be over level 30 to be able to work in the North. Of course, X’s level was only 25. However, X has stats approaching level 40, built up with heavenly taste.

‘There is no need to form a party even if the road is rough.’

Additionally, there were items with fire properties.

There is always a reason for X’s confidence.

X advanced past the users.

“It’s not that far away, but it’s chilly.”

It was definitely an environment that could not be compared to the east of Narville. The green meadows were everywhere and all I could see was barren land. X walked while looking around.

‘There’s nothing to pick up or eat.’

There really wasn’t a single blade of grass to be seen.

Only the wind that became increasingly bitter greeted X.

How long did it take?

Even when I looked back, I could no longer see Narville.

Snow began to fall from the cloudy sky.

“I understand that there are users who freeze to death.”

X sniffled. Even though I ate fire fox meat as well as cold resistance items, the weather felt chilly. It was impossible for other users to advance as quickly as X.

“Wow, what kind of weather is this?”

“Ugh, I need to get some more firewood.”

“Let’s move in groups of two! If you fall, you die.”

Smoke rose from all over the snowy field covered in white snow.

Each user was taking a break. In weather like this, if you don’t take a break at regular intervals, you will freeze to death.

X clicked his tongue.

“Resting like that doesn’t suit me.”

When the greedy Even at such moments of rest, competitors raise their level. X thought that if he was comfortable, he would fall behind in the competition.

Sometimes, just walking gets boring.

X decided to move his body and move on.

“I have to level up to catch the cave bear anyway.”

X turned and headed toward the snowy mountain.

A snowy mountain teeming with dangerous monsters!

There are not many cases where one leaves the intact road and heads towards the snowy mountain. You can’t find any other parties like X that have the purpose of hunting.

However, the northern monsters had little merit in that regard.

“The intensity is very strong, but the experience it gives is not much different.”

X repeated the characteristics of the monsters living in the North.

Hunting in the north like that?

It can be seen as a choice that will make others laugh.

But for X, the North is a great hunting ground!

Gulp!

I saw a snow mountain wild boar with white fur.

X, who encountered the guy, smiled.

“I heard you guys can’t stand hot things?”

X held his breath and took out his bow. I aimed my bowstring at the snowy mountain wild boar. Pang! The arrow advanced, emitting red light.

[Fatal blow!]

[A burn effect occurs on the snow mountain boar!]

Gulp!

The warmth I felt for the first time in my life! The panicked snow mountain wild boar ran wild here and there. Ta-tat! X ran out and stabbed the guy in the back of the neck with his sword.

[Fatal blow!]

[A burn effect occurs on the snow mountain boar!]

‘As expected, it is incredibly strong.’

Critical hits and status abnormalities that occurred in succession!

However, like a northern monster, it had excellent physical strength. The snow mountain boar came to its senses and charged towards X with its horns raised. X raised his shield.

‘We need to accurately understand the effects of the Kalsumar shield technique.’

Jipijigi is undefeated.

There can be no mistakes only when you accurately understand your abilities. Therefore, instead of avoiding the attack, X blocked it with his shield.

chin! With a heavy sound, the snow mountain wild boar stumbled.

[The snowy mountain wild boar has a stunning effect!]

The snowy mountain wild boar fainted at once.

As it was written, it had a tremendous effect.

Sigh! Soon, X took the guy’s life away.

“Okay, eating alone is the best!”

As he was packing up the items, X felt a thrill.

The low experience points given by monsters in the north are only a standard for party hunting.

What if you monopolize that experience? This is by no means a small amount of experience.

Moreover, X’s level is lower than the average level of northern users. In fact, just by catching one snow mountain wild boar, X’s experience point percentage increased noticeably.

“If this happens, I can’t help but become greedy.”

Tuk-tuk. X shook the snow off his head.

Then, I glared at the monsters seen here and there on the snowy mountain.

X opened his mouth.

“Shall we just go up 10 more levels until we get to Veneta?”

The goal is level 35!

If you achieve this, stop by Veneta to dispose of the items and then immediately go to kill the cave bear. Now that you have an efficient plan, all that remains is to act diligently.

“Besides, the pork party is a bonus!”

Pang!X pulled the bowstring towards the next snow mountain wild boar.

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
