Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 3

“You were gathered here? “These cute guys.”

How could it not look cute?

Each one is a valuable experience point and item.

Shoo!

X swung his sword at the gathered rabbits.

Sigh!

The blade cuts right into the back of the rabbit’s neck as soon as the sword is swung. It was definitely a hit rate that could not be compared to other users.

Ruthless massacre!

X caught all the rabbits he could find.

Tiroling! Not long after, an alarm rang.

[Your level has risen!]

‘Let’s check later. ‘I can’t miss these guys!’

But to X, the rabbits in front of him were more important.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

The rabbit’s pitiful screams never cease!

X’s cutting was so unstoppable that the slowly setting sun was insignificant. I just dried up the seeds of the surrounding rabbits. Finally satisfied, X let out a deep breath.

“Whoa.”

As I cooled off my sweat, I remembered the notifications that had passed by.

X manipulated the UI to check the current status.

Through hard work day and night, my strength increased by 7 points.

Considering that the bonus points given when leveling up is 5, it was a great achievement. It was clear that X’s terrible concentration on digging only one well had an effect.

‘Agility goes up to 5 points. Should I apply a little patience?’

X was aimed at the melee warrior class.

Although it has not been decided in detail yet, we generally had to place emphasis on strength.

Of course, agility that allowed the body to move quickly was also needed. It was good to measure patience in the beginning, which affects satiety and endurance.

X has finished distributing bonus points.

Strength: 22 / Agility: 5

Intelligence: 1 / Patience: 3

Bonus Points: 0

Boom!

X, who swung his sword in the air, couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

‘I can feel it right away?’

The sword felt light and the arms moved quickly.

X immediately chased after a passing rabbit.

puck!

A rabbit that died instantly as soon as the sword got stuck in it.

‘It seems like it’s time to move the hunting ground since it’s only one shot.’

If there were an abundance of rabbits, it was okay to continue hunting.

Rabbit skin and rabbit meat sell for a pretty good price. Above all, one hit kills them instantly, so even if the experience gained per animal is small, the amount makes up for it.

However, because of X, the surrounding rabbits have already dried up!

X looked around and shrugged his shoulders.

“Because everyone is taking one seat.”

In a nearby field, there were users forming a party and catching rabbits. It seemed like it would be better to move the hunting ground if there was going to be less efficient competition.

X crossed the field and came to a low ridge.

“Wow, this is the mountain that appeared in that commercial video!”

Varma, the giant mountain of the vast Fate World!

At the end of the horizon, I could see the top of Varma, which seemed to pierce the sky. Such a long and high mountain! X, who had been mesmerized by Fate’s spectacle for a moment, came to his senses.

“This is not the time. Are you impressed by this level?”

Ex, who pushed himself, climbed the ridge.

Deer and antlered deer appeared in the lowlands of Barma. Both of them had basically gentle personalities, but they had the trait of repaying aggression when they were attacked.

“Better than running away.”

X was tired of chasing a running rabbit.

I would have been grateful if he had just attacked me.

X soon spotted the deer, drew his sword, and charged.

puck!

The blade was deeply embedded in his side. It was a true hit, but it was definitely different from a rabbit. Swish! The deer twisted its body and kicked X with its hind foot.

“Wow, I’m surprised.”

Heavy counterattack!

The body was pushed back.

It was my first time feeling a monster attack. After a moment of panic, X rushed towards the deer again. This time, I aimed for the same side as before.

[Fatal blow!]

[Bleeding effect occurs on the deer!]

High level of X power.

And the attack aimed at exactly the same place shone. Soon the deer, which was making a fuss, fell down without even being able to properly resist.

“I did a good job moving it, but what about this?”

About five rabbits per deer.

There was definitely a lot of experience gained compared to the time it took.

With a happy smile, X took the item from the fallen deer.

-Fresh Venison (Normal)

Freshly caught deer meat.

Eating it raw can make you sick.

Saturation: +50%

Special Effect: If consumed without cooking, there is a 10% chance of suffering from a mild illness.

‘You said items made from deer skin were useful, right?’

Deer leather set!

It was a great item for beginners who did not have adequate funds as it had decent defense and did not cost much to produce. If you were lucky enough to gain additional stats, you could use them even after changing jobs depending on your job.

X enthusiastically devoted himself to hunting.

“You shoes! You pants!”

The number of leathers collected so far has exceeded 10.

The drop rate of deer skin was not high. If you catch five or six, will you get one? Luck was also a factor, but the number of deers that X took down was no joke.

Thanks to this, the notification naturally rang.

[The level has risen!]

[The level has risen!]

This time, as expected, it was satiety that stopped X.

[Saturation level is less than 10%.]

X sat down on the floor and stuffed bread into his mouth.

“I’m going to have to make a really good decision here.”

A great place!

X, who devoted himself to hunting, had already entered deep into the forest. There were no users around, so it seemed like it wasn’t a place where people usually came and went.

“You hunt until the skin sticks to your back.”

There are no competitors and deer abound!

Moreover, you did not receive a death penalty until you got a level 10 job. X planned to hunt until he ran out of rye bread and starved to death.

“Let’s see, there are 3 left….”

X was counting the remaining numbers while holding the rye bread in his hand.

Tuk!

The rye bread in X’s hand fell to the floor.

It was because of a shock applied from behind.

X turned his head and smiled coldly.

“The one with horns over there. “I remembered your face.”

A deer with a gentle personality.

That deer attacked X first. It seemed like they were quite resentful of X who had invaded their hideout.

The satiety level has not reached 100% yet.

After warning X, he turned around again and picked up the bread that had fallen on the ground…

“Huh?”

What is this?

The bread that should have fallen was nowhere to be seen.

Did the deer bite and jump?

X, who thought for a moment, was startled.

“Mmm!”

Bushy beard.

A scruffy face.

Isn’t there an unknown beggar-looking man muttering next to him? He held a piece of rye bread in his hand and continued to express his admiration.

X quickly shook his head.

‘Not a user.’

It’s an NPC.

If something goes, something comes, NPC!

X’s voice became higher and kinder.

“Haha, it looks like you were very hungry. If it’s not enough, please tell me. “There’s just one more left.”

“Is that really true?”

“As expected, it’s not enough. Here it is. “Please eat it.”

“no. “How can I with the only one left…”

“I’m fine. “Don’t feel pressured.”

Actually, there are still two pieces of rye bread left.

X told a very small lie to impress the man even a little. Because a man who is impressed might give you a better reward.

The man seemed impressed by X.

He continued chewing the bread and letting out loud exclamations.

“It’s a bread that really makes you feel warm and affectionate. It feels like the warmth seeps into every single cell, revitalizing me! I wonder how long it has been since I ate food that was so precious and touched by human touch… I had barely even remembered it. “It seems like it’s been around 300 years.”

Is coarse rye bread really that delicious?

Still, isn’t 300 years too much?

The man seemed to be exaggerating greatly.

But X was silent.

‘So what is the reward?’

Instead, I focused on the man’s actions.

It was then.

“I never thought I would meet such a precious person after wandering around for a long time because my eyes were blind. No matter how urgent it is to go, you can’t just receive it from this precious relationship. Let’s see…”

The man began to rummage through his pockets.

X said something he didn’t mean and threw up his hand.

“Oh, I didn’t ask for anything in return.”

“This is my small sincerity. Please accept it.”

The man handed a small black bead to X.

X, who pretended not to win and received the marble, asked.

“Thank you, but what is this used for?”

The man smiled slightly and responded.

“It’s candy.”

“…candy? “You mean the candy you eat?”

“That’s right.”

Trading rye bread for candy!

It was an unexpected reward.

X paused.

‘Is this a loss or a gain?’

X wanted to figure out the identity of the candy. But for some reason, the candy information did not appear. Thinking it might be an item, X looked at the candy more closely.

‘…What’s shiny?’

sparkle!

When the black candy was held up to the sunlight, floating particles were visible. Each of the particles was emitting a different light. The brilliant appearance was like seeing the Milky Way shining in a dark universe.

X sensed an unusual energy.

‘It may be an item with tremendous effects.’

An unknown candy given by a beggar-like man.

Considering Fate’s common sense, it was more likely to be a trap than a reward. Because not all NPCs in Fate were good. Occasionally, there were NPCs that stabbed users in the back.

However, X was a beginner who did not suffer a death penalty.

It was worth taking this level of risk.

‘Okay, let’s eat it.’

After deciding, X immediately put the candy in his mouth.

Bye!

I bit down as hard as I could.

At that moment, my vision began to blur.

Is it an auditory hallucination?

A man’s voice came from my blurred senses.

“…I hope I can meet you again someday.”

*

‘Where am I?’

The first thing that greeted X when he came to his senses was the scent.

A sweet scent lingering at the tip of your nose!

Sweet, spicy, sour and all kinds of scents stimulated X’s sense of smell. X instinctively followed the scent and found the dining table. A banquet was literally spread out on the table bathed in sunlight.

‘What material is it made of?’

Meat dripping with oil.

Vegetables that are refreshing just by looking at them.

Even fish marinated in a thick sauce.

Maybe it was because they were made with pate ingredients, but they weren’t foods I was used to seeing.

But everything looked so delicious that my mouth watered. Saliva naturally formed in X’s mouth. X, who had unconsciously reached for the food, realized.

Shoo!

The palm passes straight through the table.

‘Wow, it’s a fantasy.’

Black candy that resembles the universe.

It was clear that I was hallucinating due to the effects of the candy.

As I thought about it, the back of a man engrossed in cooking in front of that fire looked familiar. It was the back of a man who was begging.

‘Are you looking at his memories?’

I wondered if it was some kind of quest.

X decided to watch the situation a little longer.

The man did not leave the fire.

‘It looks like they’re waiting for someone…’

Two dishes were placed on the table.

It belonged to the man and to ‘someone’ the man was waiting for.

Time passed quickly. The food on the table and the scenery outside the window changed at a rapid pace. However, even when the sun went down, darkness came, and even the seasons changed, ‘someone’ did not show up.

X looked at the man.

‘Even though I was hit by the wind, I was hit like a typhoon.’

The man’s shoulders slumped.

His back looked lonely.

Quite a long time has passed since then.

The man who was waiting also seemed tired. He, who had never left the fire, turned it off and cleaned up the kitchen counter. And the moment I look back to clear the table.

Flash!

X’s eyes opened.

“…It ended at an odd timing.”

The fantasy ended just as I was about to see a face.

I felt somehow uneasy. X stood up.

The beggar-looking man couldn’t see where he had gone, and all he could see were deer watching and eating leaves.

However, that thought did not last long.

Tiroling!

A notification rang out of nowhere.

“?”

Messages poured out in front of the puzzled X.
