Chapter 77
Chapter 77 The Forgotten Myth
The world's first virtual reality game.
Arcadia.
I am Yatongson, an adventurer who first set foot in this world.
However, considering that he started playing faster than anyone else with the preemptive privilege of being a beta tester, the character level of Jungsik was terribly poor.
“Phehe... got it!”
Zhongshik held a hammer and had a fierce one-on-one battle with a level 30 kobold. Jaeyoung sighed as he finally managed to defeat the monster after avoiding several near-death dangers.
“Yes, I was driven to the brink of death, but I managed to catch it without dying.”
“Hehe... This is the first time I've ever caught a kobold by myself! Did you do well?”
Chinese food survived by almost one tick. He sat down on the floor with a happy expression and took out a recovery potion and started drinking it. However, Jaeyoung's heart as he looked at him became more and more distraught.
‘The combat ability is... poor and too ambiguous...'
No matter how different the levels are, the physical sense of battle is not visible at all. In addition, since he had already acquired the job of apprentice blacksmith, he decided that it was unnecessary to change his job to a combat class.
“I don't really like the production line too much...”
Jae-young, who has already confirmed his blacksmith skills. All he had to do was make a few daggers and armor that looked dull and flat. As for the performance, to borrow the words of Baron Mikhail, iron ore, which was close to trash, was a waste, so there was nothing to say about it.
“Tsk... Is this the way it has been since the closed beta?”
From Jaeyoung's point of view, Arcadia had a distinctive feature that differentiated it from other general RPG games. A structure that cannot grow by repeating labor and work indefinitely over time. Unlike others, rapid growth was possible only when we were able to make the most of the systems and quests that were hidden everywhere and draw out 100% of our individual capabilities.
“That's why the production line is the worst .....”
Production and manufacturing series of jobs.
Many people jumped into the production line, such as blacksmith or tailor, because of their personal romance or judgment that it was a job that could be profitable in the future, but most of them quickly realized their limits and were walking the path of despair and frustration.
-If you make a product, only the lowest quality comes out. Why is this like this?
-Did you set the temperature uniformly during production? If you don't hammer it straight and don't hit it evenly, you'll get a defective product. Don't just rely on skill correction, do it yourself.
- No, is this a game? I'm not sure if I'm playing a game or if I'm getting training as a blacksmith.
-hit. Equipment production should be done as in real life. If you're lucky, the magic level will also appear.
It is important to simply have skills and skills, but it is a high-level item that can be made only when all of them are melted down and then poured into each piece of equipment with sincerity. Considering that the highest grade created by the most famous blacksmith user is a magic item, Jaeyoung judged that blacksmithing is not an area to dare to cross.
“Do you really think so?”
“huh?”
L asks a meaningful question about his thoughts. She looked at the luncheon with strangely curious eyes and said.
“Of course, it is important for a blacksmith to have artistic inspiration that captures his skills, talents, and perhaps even his own soul. However, in my view, that is not the most important quality a blacksmith should have.”
“What is that...?”
As she, an archangel, was suddenly talking about the knowledge a blacksmith should have, Jaeyoung looked at L with a curious look. But she continued to mutter with unfocused eyes as if recalling something.
“But more important than that is the tenacity and tenacity to never give up on hitting iron with a heavy hammer while enduring the scorching fire and the suffocating heat. In that indomitable will and belief, through millions... no, tens of millions of hammer hits, weapons with true power are born. And that child... didn't give up and overcame it even in a terrible and hellish situation. Looking at it, I think it has a lot of potential.”
L, who speaks with strong conviction, not just speculation or candy coating. Seeing her attitude, Jaeyoung tilted her head and asked.
“How on earth do you know so much about blacksmiths as an archangel? More than that, why do you think so highly of him?”
In Jaeyoung's eyes, he is frustratingly dull and lacks a basic understanding of the game. In many ways, he had no idea how to use this guy, but El kept pushing that he should be raised as a blacksmith.
“That is a little difficult to say.”
L hesitated to speak as if he was slightly troubled. In response to her reaction, Jaeyoung asked with an even more suspicious look.
“why?”
“That... other things don't matter, but if information related to this is leaked, it has a huge impact on the entire continent, so it has a great ripple effect. As a member of the celestial realm, we cannot ignore the blow to us if such confusion arises.”
Michael has to move according to the mission given to him. In particular, she reacted sensitively because she was not just an angel, but the leader of the heavenly world who protects the heavens.
“Even when Calypso intervened last time, he acted beyond his own probability, and in return, Heaven had no choice but to shoulder the burden, but if this kind of transcendence is repeated...
” L no. However, Jaeyoung solved her troubles so easily.
“To paraphrase what you said... If the probability is guaranteed, we can also provide information that you are hesitant to say... you mean...?”
“Um... that’s true, but...”
“It’s simple. Then, I will take responsibility for the probability, so tell me.”
“yes....?”
“Anyway... the probability is overflowing.”
-Probability: 912312
Probability of being over 900,000 even after giving Tan a probability of 100,000. Thanks to the enormous amount of probability he received from the Jukchang Daejeon, Jaeyoung was able to make a request to L without hesitation.
“Information that can have a tremendous ripple effect on the continent you are talking about, I will live.”
Jaeyoung was able to find out about a new use of probability unintentionally. Thousands and tens of thousands... No, Tan and L, the owners of a vast amount of information they have acquired over the years of their lives. The fact that you can pay probabilities from them and get the information you need.

Virtual Reality Arcadia.
Surprisingly, there are countless gods and myths in this fictional world.
In the era dubbed the ‘Age of Myths', although there was a difference in the power and authority they possessed, there were still many people who possessed divinity and divinity.
god of hunting. God of music and entertainment. God of War. God of justice and balance. god of time. The god of mischief, etc...
There were countless gods, and there were countless denominations and denominations that believed in and worshiped them. An era in which gods and humans lived in harmony, possessing different divine powers and powers and performing various miracles. However, that era has been completely forgotten and erased from humans, and no trace can be found.
“So... suddenly, one of the many denominations had the Great Awakening and said, ‘There is only one god on this earth! All other things are heretics, so I will punish them!' And the successor of that Order is the current Saint Empire?”
It was a pretty amazing historical anecdote. It is surprising that it has not been known to people until now, and it was the Saint Empire that had walked a bloody path to the extent that if these historical details and facts were known, it would cause great controversy.
“Now I understand why they went on a witch hunt like crazy.”
It was to the point of wondering how they would kill everyone they saw, like a crazy fanatic, but now that Jae-young nodded his head naturally and understood their behavior and way of thinking, looking at his past history.
“Yes. But to my surprise, he actually killed everyone while doing so. Beyond that, they thoroughly destroyed the records and traces of other denominations, completely eradicating the faith itself. It's true that the power of the celestial world has become stronger than ever thanks to that... but it's not something to be proud of.”
Although he was a celestial being who pursued goodness more than anyone else, he was a being with many contradictions in many ways. Her words reminded Jae-young of the fact that there is a big problem with people's illusions and stereotypes about the existence of angels.
“Anyway... those who completely lost their followers like that ended up degenerating into supernatural beings who couldn’t even remember their names one by one.”
faith.
The source of powerful miracles and the source of divine power. Believers who believed in making God exist as a god ended up being completely exterminated in the wind, killing and burning like a neighboring country carrying out a policy of cultural obliteration.
Gods who cannot even remember their names and have completely lost their existence. But one of them was eyeing the lunch right away.
[The one who draws the attention of the oldest fire.]
The oldest fire. The one who revealed the endless darkness of the beginning. The father of all blacksmiths and the creator of Muspelheim, a divine sword that burns and purifies any demon, a symbol of the celestial realm.
vulcan.
After hearing details about his existence from L, Jaeyoung looked at Jungshik who was sitting on the floor with different eyes.
“That endless tenacity and tenacity that never gives up. I have to roll it somehow...” Jae-
young came to the conclusion that even though his talent is low, if he works hard and works hard, he has the possibility of becoming a blacksmith someday. It's not right now, but I had to roll and roll that stupid guy as much as I could to make it usable.
‘This is... it's not even a blacksmith maker.....'
He's busy, but he has to watch a kid of about middle school age play. However, he never intended to do such a troublesome thing, so he asked L with a coy expression.
“What do you have a good idea for?”
L strongly insisted on raising him as a blacksmith. Because she was such a woman, she frowned as if she was seriously thinking about Jaeyoung's question, and after thinking about it for a long time, she brought up the story.
“Um... how about taking it to the dwarves?”
“Dwarf...?”
Dwarf. Also widely known as the dwarfs, this is a textbook cliché in fantasy and a heterogeneous race in human form that appears everywhere. I knew that they existed in Arcadia, but even in the history books of Arcadia, it was only mentioned in a small part, and there was no known exactly where they built their villages and lived.
“They don’t even know where they live? How are you going to take this guy?”
“That's what I'm good at...”
At that time, El was also making a puzzled expression as if he didn't know where the dwarves were. Suddenly, Tan, who was listening to the conversation from the side, muttered as if talking to himself.
“I know...”
“What...?”
“what?”
As if they had made a promise, Jaeyoung and Michael turned their heads and looked at Tan at the same time. Tan said with a bewildered look at the strong reaction of the two.
“How do you know that?”
“...Because they live underground! They're scoundrels roaming the ground here and there, so I know how many monsters I've encountered with them.”
“okay? Where is it?”
“Um... it’s a bit far from here.”
At Jaeyoung's urging, Tan told the activities of the dwarves he knew. And right there.
One of the areas infamous for being one of the five forbidden regions.
It was Shurim, a great desert full of sand boiling with super-high heat.
