[SYTSEM | Acquired Skills: ‘4’]
“Oh, there’s a typo in the system.”
[SYSTEM | Acquired Skills: ‘4’]
[Iron Liver (Passive)
Can detoxify any alcohol! An essential qualification for a winery owner!]
[Iron Skin (Passive)
The southern sun is too harsh, isn’t it? As a winery owner, you should be resistant to sunlight. Let’s maintain iron skin that never burns or tans under the sun~]
[Cooking (C-)
C- > 1 point > C
With a recipe, can even someone with disastrous cooking skills become a culinary genius?! Don’t trust your hands and eyes. You should only trust the recipe and your skill.]
[Everyone is Kind to Me (Passive)
A player dropped into a strange world. The world will be friendly to you.]
At first, when I received ‘Iron Liver’ or ‘Iron Skin’, I thought they were rather trivial for skills.
But looking at them again like this, they seem quite good.
It would be nice to have at least one skill that allows me to breathe fire, fly through the sky, or teleport.
[YORi fh manjokg0@?&*ㅎgld.]
“You’re telling me to be satisfied with cooking?”
[2ㅑ어ㅏ dlwp 23^!&@$????]
“…I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
The system sent a burst of broken chat messages again and then disappeared.
It seemed to have gone to fix the errors.
I checked the skills again.
Cooking had leveled up to ‘C-‘ last time.
Honestly, I baked cookies so often, shouldn’t it give me ‘C’?
I think ‘C-‘ is one of the most ridiculous grades you can get in college.
When you receive a ‘C-‘, not even a ‘C’, you can’t help but rebel against the professor, thinking, “Geez, how badly did I do?”
As if reading my mind, a new quest suddenly arrived.
[SYSTEM | ‘Cooking Skill Training’ quest has arrived.]
[‘Cooking Skill Training’
How long are you going to stay at ‘C-‘?
It’s not even ‘C’, but ‘C-‘, right?
Students who receive ‘C-‘ shouldn’t curse at the professor, but rather understand the professor’s miserable feelings for having to give a ‘-‘ instead of a solid ‘C’.]
“…”
Why does this make me feel so dirty?
The training quest simply asked me to try cooking in various ways under different conditions.
[※This quest will continue until you reach ‘C+’.]
Despite the irritating explanation, it was a very good quest.
I bowed towards the empty air.
[Okay!]
[Is this going to break again?]
[Irina! Answer me!]
[Irina, you dummy!]
“…I can see everything.”
[Gasp, you can see everything now?!]
[Oh no. She, she can see now!]
[Wow, this was really unexpected this time.]
I burst into laughter at the boisterous chat window.
At first, I thought the silence wasn’t bad, but when the presence I had always been with for the past 5 years disappeared, I felt empty somewhere.
[Oh, Irina. Are you feeling better?]
[I lost my mind for a moment back then.]
[Let me do a quick check-up!]
A light burst from head to toe.
[Hmm! You’re fine!]
“I missed you!”
[I’m sorry.]
“But it seems like something has changed?”
[Yeah, while the system was down, we did some updates too.]
So that’s what it was.
I glanced out the window.
The sun had set long ago, and darkness had fallen outside.
I drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and quickly lay down on the bed.
I had many questions to ask the two gods, Arschen and Idelbach, anyway.
“I have quite a few questions.”
[…..]
[…..]
Well, here’s the first question.
“Sian Terezia. Why did you react like that back then?”
What meaning does that mere human have for the two of you, the gods of the world?
* * *
To cut to the chase, there was absolutely nothing I could learn about Sian Terezia.
Because all the gods’ words related to Terezia came through broken.
“Why is that?”
[Well… Originally, all the world’s secrets and taboos are blocked like this.]
This seems absurd, but even if I felt wronged, there was nothing I could do.
There was only vague information, and none of the questions were resolved.
I was planning to ask the system about things I didn’t know well, but it looks like I won’t be able to do that either.
“How can I solve this?”
[First, Irina works hard to pay off the debt and levels up.]
[If you pay off about half, you might be able to hear about half of this information.]
“Damn it.”
After paying off so much until now, I’ve barely changed the fourth digit.
[Second, you… find out… directly…]
[But I’d prefer if you didn’t do this.]
“By finding out directly, you mean I should run around and learn about ‘Sian Terezia’ and the world’s destruction a thousand years ago, right?”
[How did you know about the destruction a thousand years ago?]
[Oh? Look, the taboo is lifted like this.]
[The keyword ‘destruction a thousand years ago’ had been transmitted broken until now.]
I was amazed.
The conclusion was that to approach the truth of the world and save it, I had to run around myself.
From the beginning, since the system couldn’t save the world and called me here to raise me like this, it’s better not to have high expectations for the system.
“I guess I’ll have to go to Mr. Sian again.”
[…Don’t play with that guy.]
“So who exactly is that person?”
[2ㅓㅏ8sjd$laLa @$.. sak” )]
The text was still broken, and I couldn’t decipher it at all.
But I kept talking.
“You said the system abandoned him, did Sian also possess a game like me?”
[dksldi!!!11]
“Please answer with yes or no.”
[w sl d l dlk !!]
I sighed deeply.
“I can’t figure it out.”
What on earth is the truth?
The system kept whining to me.
[It’s not good to play with Sian Terezia.]
[This is really for your own good, I’m telling you.]
“But it’s a bit… you know.”
Even if someone behaves poorly with others, as long as they are nice to me, I generally just take them in….
<Then it seems your god is with you now.>
<God, here I am, the one you said you cherished the most. Why don’t you answer me?>
He, who was said to be chosen like me, acted as if he was broken somewhere.
<You’ve been chosen, our Irina.>
And while mocking me for being chosen, he also pitied me, looking at me with a complex and subtle gaze.
Remembering those eyes and that voice, it’s true that I’m a bit concerned about the system, which seems to be my greatest ally.
[Irina… sob… what are you thinking?]
“Just, maybe thinking it’s fortunate that you two don’t know about the conversation I had with Mr. Sian?”
[Aaagh, no, really]
[He couldn’t have dlT 29s@*( ep , but still, no]
I smiled softly.
The chat window went on a long lecture saying it was for my own good, and only at the very end did it speak firmly.
[But Irina, don’t forget that I’m absolutely on your side.]
“Why, did you do something unforgivable to Sian Terezia?”
[…No matter what he says, remember that we’re unconditionally on your side.]
I burst into giggles and changed my body position.
“Yes, yes, I’ll be the judge of that.”
* * *
The system was quiet for a while, and I couldn’t sleep, so I checked the documents I had placed beside me.
We do need a new business.
To make big money, it’s not enough to barely maintain what we have now.
We really need to try something new, properly.
What could be a good business item?
I tried to refer to the northern countries of the original world, but there were quite a few difficulties.
Because most of those countries made a living from resources.
I thought about the tourism industry too, but this requires too much initial investment.
Moreover, in this place where air travel isn’t well-established, it didn’t seem likely that people would take the time to come to the north.
While I was wracking my brain trying to find a way to make money, going “Argh,” a quest arrived with a ‘ding’.
It seemed the systems had prepared something for me.
[SYSTEM | New quest ‘Sian Terezia, who on earth is that man?!’ has arrived.]
[Sian Terezia, who on earth is that man?!]
Who else, isn’t he the hero of the fallen empire?
[Let’s find out about Sian Terezia.
He is a dangerous being, but at the same time, he is also the closest to the keywords ‘world’ and ‘destruction’.
The quest has intermediate settlements and progresses variably. Rewards will be provided intermittently, so fight on!
Reward: Luck stat 1. (Continuous provision)
Reward 2: Random skill box. (Continuous provision)
Final reward: 50,000 jurang
※The random skill box has a 0.001% chance of containing recipe and cooking skill stat points.
※Caution※ Sian Terezia is a ‘dangerous person’ designated by the system and the god.]
As soon as I checked the system window, new quests started updating with ‘ding, ding, ding’.
[SYSTEM | Keywords for Sian Terezia and Obedih Empire have been registered.]
[SYSTEM | Keywords for Sian Terezia and hero ‘Regina’ have been registered.]
[SYSTEM | Sian Terezia and –.]
The system only stopped after updating all the stories that Isiel and I had shared previously.
[SYSTEM | All keywords have been updated so far. You can check and update information about ‘Sian Terezia’ through these keywords.]
[SYSTEM | As a reward, 3 Luck stats will be added finally.]
[SYSTEM | 9/12 > 9/15]
Wow…
I’ll recover my luck index quickly at this rate.
The system was amazed, just as I was.
[What! You’ve already talked this much?]
[Weren’t you unconscious for a week?!]
