Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 205

Chapter 205

[Please choose between power output and ‘Yulice’s’ player skill.]

Min Sung picked ‘power output’ without any hesitation.

He had no desire to have Yulice’s shabby skill.

[You’ve chosen power output.]

[Your magic power output has increased by +1.]

[All stats have increased by +1.]

[10 Dionysus Gods have favorited you!]

[Mers God gifted you with 300 performance points.]

[(TIP) You can use your performance points to buy a kill or item in the store.]

Min Sung looked down at his arms and body.

There was a cloud of white smoke coming from it.

And at the same time, Min Sung felt it.

He sensed the incredible power flowing through him.

Although his stats only increased by +1, he felt completely different.

Min Sung looked down at the dead Yulice.

He understood why he put his life on the line for player kills.

But since he didn’t know very much about this world, he couldn’t just go around killing everyone.

If he did, he would have had to take on risks, or his objective of getting rid of the Iris tree would grow fainter.

He couldn’t let himself get seduced by power.

He had to maintain his rationality.

That was what Min Sung thought as he looked beside him.

An elf and a cat creature.

The two women were looking at him.

They both looked horrified.

They looked at him in fear, but they didn’t try to run away from him.

They were frozen still.

“Why didn’t you fight with him? Aren’t you a team?” Min Sung asked.

“We... just followed along because we couldn’t beat him,” the short cat creature replied.

The elf also nodded in agreement.

“I heard only the most powerful beings gather in Beatrice though.”

Min Sung took turns scanning the elf and cat creature.

“What are you?” Min Sung asked.

In response, the elf responded, “Beatrice used to be our world. Before you appeared, that is.”

That was when Min Sung understood.

It appeared that the Dionysus Gods took over a star that was already inhabited.

If that was true, that meant that if they weren’t a player, they were natives of Beatrice.

“Did you use to live in that village?”

The elf and cat creature nodded.

Seeing from their faces, it didn’t look like they were lying.

It was possible that they were amazing actresses, but that wasn’t important.

The important thing was time.

Time was passing, and the Iris tree was sucking up the earth’s resources as they spoke.

“I know this sounds ridiculous... But can we go with you to the next destination?” The elf asked with a face as scared as that of a deer.

At that moment, Ho Sung Lee, Bowl, and Ssol arrived.

“We came here because we thought you were okay, but who are they?” Ho Sung Lee asked while pointing at the doll-looking elf.

At that moment...

Ding-

[Main Quest #3 – Find a safe home for the lost elf and cat creature.]

“They used to live in Aransia Village. We got another quest.”

“Oh, I saw that as well. I’m a part of your party, so I get the same notifications as you.”

Min Sung nodded and checked the system map.

There was a place labeled as a city nearby.

The city was called Vanguard Frontia.

It was located only 12 kilometers away.

“We’re going to Vanguard Frontia.”

Min Sung led the way, and the elf and cat creature showed their relief as they followed Min Sung and his party.

***

On their way to their first city, Vanguard Frontia, Min Sung’s party was able to hear more about the city from the elf and cat creature.

According to them, there were 3 dungeons around Vanguard Frontia.

The city was a place where Beatrice natives sold and bought items from novices.

But recently, there had been less and less novices, which led to the city being quite empty.

They were also able to hear what they couldn’t hear from the fairy from them.

“The time in Beatrice flows differently from everyone’s homeworlds. I heard that a month here is the same as an hour in the players’ homeworld.”

As soon as he heard that, one thought crossed his mind.

“Sir, that means if we log out and go back to earth to get food, we have to come back right away. Since time goes by faster in reality, we won’t be able to eat in Beatrice for the time being.”

Min Sung agreed with Ho Sung Lee.

Since the passage of time was different, that meant that they were able to buy time in reality.

And meanwhile, Min Sung’s party also found out that they had to log out in each city.

It was easier to find each other after logging out that way, and they could use the city’s warp gate to pass over to other cities.

For that reason, they had to get in the habit of using cities as their base.

And not long afterward, they began to see Vanguard Frontia in the distance.

He was able to get there in no time if he put his mind to it.

But they just found out that the passage of time in Beatrice was different from earth.

And as for the quest, they had to safely deliver them to the city in order to complete the quest and acquire performance points, so he had to go at their pace.

But the elf and cat creature was faster than average, so he didn’t have to go as slowly as expected.

At this rate, they were going to arrive in Vanguard Frontia in no time.

“Can you see the ranks on the players that are high in rank?” Ho Sung Lee asked the elf with curiosity.

The elf explained that she couldn’t tell him that much and shook her head.

Since they weren’t players in Beatrice, they didn’t know such details, so the conversation ended there.

Min Sung sped up a little, and in order to get to Vanguard Frontier quicker, the entire party sped up as well.

The person who broke the long silence was Ho Sung Lee.

“Sir.”

“What?”

“When we get to the city, can I log out and go get groceries? I think we should get the food while we’re in the city.”

Min Sung nodded.

“Do that.”

“Yes, Sir. Anyway, those gods sure live fun lives. They watch humans as if they’re watching TV and even add game systems into the worlds.”

Ho Sung Lee sighed as he continued, “But I guess that’s why there’s a job called hunters now.”

Ho Sung Lee mumbled to himself as he smoked his cigarette.

They began to see the entrance of the first city, Vanguard Frontia.

As soon as they escaped the forest, they were met with a path, and they even saw two guards as well.

This was the first city they were to enter in Beatrice.

***

“Stop right there.”

The two guards put up their long spears and stopped them in their tracks.

They were both tall and large in stature.

“You’re not just novices. Why is there an elf and a cat creature trying to enter Vanguard Frontia?” The guard on the right asked with a stiff way of speaking.

“They lost their village due to a player. We’re the only survivors of Aransia Village.”

The guard on the left whispered to the guard on the right.

The right guard nodded and looked at Min Sung, Ho Sung Lee, Bowl, and Ssol.

“Are you novices who just arrived in Beatrice for the first time?” The guard on the right asked.

Ho Sung Lee answered yes, and the guard ordered them to use the system interface to register themselves as novices.

Registering as novices as a type of identification, they were able to do that through their system interface.

The party made their novice cards, which would be used as their identification in Beatrice, with the help of the guards.

The novice card contained information such as their names as well as which star they came from.

It appeared that that was what they used to confirm the novices’ identities before letting them pass through.

But it wasn’t particularly intricate.

It only took them 5 minutes to register as novices and enter the city.

“Welcome to Beatrice.”

Min Sung accepted the guard’s stiff welcome as he entered the city, Vanguard Frontia.

***

Just as the elf and cat creature had said, the city, Vanguard Frontia, was empty.

There was a shop selling items to novices, and they only saw a few Beatrice natives here and there in the large city.

“This city’s so empty.”

When Ho Sung Lee said that, he received a system notification.

[Main Quest #3 – Clear]

[You’ve acquired 50 performance points.]

[You currently have +700 performance points. If you collect 300 more, you’ll be able to use the shop.]

They were notified that they acquired performance points, but there was no word of their next quest.

“Thank you for helping us.”

“We were forcefully getting dragged around by Yulice. We’re free now thanks to you.”

The elf and cat creature expressed their gratitude.

“No need to thank us. It was our quest.”

Min Sung answered seriously, but the way the elf and cat creature saw it, Min Sung’s eyes were full of kindness.

“If you’re not planning to go to another city, I can introduce you to accommodation. Would you like my assistance?” The elf asked Min Sung respectfully.

Ho Sung Lee asked what Min Sung was going to do with his eyes.

“We’ll go to our accommodation, and then you can go get groceries, Ho Sung.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Min Sung expressed his desire to follow, and the elf and cat creature smiled with delight.

Since they looked innocent and pure, they didn’t see any harm in settling down in an accommodation of their introduction.

Min Sung followed the elf and cat creature to their accommodation.
