Ammunition: 10 hours - 1P

Ammunition is set at 1P for 10 rounds. I guess..the kind doesn’t matter since it’s just 1P for 10 rounds. So, if I can kill 10 monsters with 10 rounds…I can earn 9P. That’s what I’ve calculated.

Of course, I can earn all 10P if I beat the monsters to death with my bare hands, but I can’t help but feel how easy it will be to use the ammunition to kill them.

“Grenade.”

fragment Grenade - 1P
Gas Grenade - 1P
Chemical Grenade - 1P
Smokescreen Grenade - 1P
Flash Grenade - 1P

Even the grenades all cost 1P… I guess this means that all accessories like this go for 1P each. I just can’t get over the possible loss that can occur, but it’s not like I can do anything about it.

I’m going to purchase 30 grenades just to be safe. 20 fragment grenades and 10 hand grenades. This ought to be good enough for now. I’ll even buy a rifle with about 1,000 rounds.

With this much fire power… I should be able to take out at least 500 monsters with ease, especially to those that are heavily grouped together.

Since I’m considering in buying a rifle...should I think about getting something with bigger clips? For an example, what about those banana clips that can hold 50 to 100 rounds?

Or, I could just get a machine gun that’s fixed to a specific location… 

Maybe not. I should just wait until how things play out. 

For the time being, I should just get the K2 rifle. It’s what I’m used to using anyway.

“Purchase K2 rifle. Purchase 1,000 rounds. Purchase 20 fragment grenades. Purchase 10 hand grenades.”

There goes 135P in an instant. All I have left now is 69P.

“Blunt weapon.”

List of many dull weapons showed. Since when there were so many damn weapons in the dull category? What is up with their shapes too? I see some that I’m familiar with and others… well… it was new to me. Let’s just say that.

Strange thing is..what I’m used to is having a single-handed weapon. A hammer or something that’s metal.

Hmm…

“A dull weapon that’s tied to Lyfedearc and is under 69P.”

From what I remember, blurting out words like this will help me narrow down what I want. And just like that, it did.

Lyfedearc Apprentice Warrior Copper Iron Mace - 10P

Lyfedearc Apprentice Warrior Bronze Hammer - 50P
Lyfedearc Apprentice Warrior Bronze Club - 50P
Lyfedearc Apprentice Warrior Bronze Flail - 50P

Changing from Copper to Bronze bumped up the points by 5 times. Honestly, we all know steel is much denser than bronze… damn it… Should I just go find a mace somewhere? Maybe even ask a blacksmith to make one for me in the real world?

Why don’t I look for a bronze iron mace in the menu?

[Lyfedearc Apprentice Warrior Iron Mace]
A mace forged from iron which is used by the apprentice warriors of Lyfedearc. During fabrication, it has been infused with Divine Powers - allowing for it to possess much stronger durability than other items. 

This weapon amplifies the Divine Power when used by an apprentice warrior of Lyfedearc.

“Wuhhh?” Talk about being awesome. I don’t think there’s anything else that I’d like to buy more than this weapon here. Really.

“Purchase Iron Mace of Lyfedearc’s Apprentice Warrior.”

Without a second thought, I made my purchase. And… as usual, a light appeared and left the weapon behind.

Alright, this is really useful.

“Summon Holy Bag.”

Pahht!

I placed the newly purchased Iron Mace into the Holy Bag. 

19P were remaining now. What should I do with the rest? It’ll be a waste to swap them for cash….

I know I need to come up with a way to earn money in the real world, but I can’t look over the fact that I need to be more fit there…

“Injury recovery. Under 10P.”

Reward Search
Regeneration - 10P
Arcane’s Treatment - 18P
Modern Treatment - 10P

Only three different skills showed. What is up with this Arcane’s Treatment? Why the hell is it 18P. What a weird number…

[Regeneration]
Allows your body to hold regenerative ability on its own. Just as a lizard being able to fully recover its lost tail in time, you will be able to heal your wounds 2x faster than that of a normal person.

It’s effects will gradually increase as it levels.

[Arcane’s Treatment]
A magician who wanted to create an affordable yet effective treatments, Arcane used magic to increase the efficiency of the life force, thus discovering a method to temporarily maximize the ability to self heal. 

[Modern Treatment]
The knowledge of modern emergency treatments. It allows you to manage various, poisons, and sickness.

“Pass on the third one. It’s sort of pointless when I have Divine Law to cover my injuries… but the regeneration ability looks fairly neat. Purchase.”

Pahhht.

Life took over me. I had the ability in me. It felt as if my body got lighter in the process.

God damn it. Ain’t this something else?

Good thing I have this now, because surviving is only going to keep getting harder. I’m going to invest more points into my body when I get the chance. 

As for the remaining 9P, I’ll keep them as they are instead of swapping them out for cash. 

That’s when it happened.

Test complete.
Player Jung Yoon-Hwan.
Return.

More light appeared, but when it was gone, I found myself back in my room again.

Death comes to those who don’t fight.

Life is always testing us.
And if you’re not able to survive against the currents, you will disappear, fade away with it.

I survived another one. Does this make the 5th day…?

“Sigh..”

I turned my side. On my back was the duffle bag, stuffed with everything I had previously packed. On my feet were the military grade boots.

It’s what I had on me before heading into that white room.

I dropped the duffle bag on the floor and reached for the items on my waist. I stared at the items that were hanging from my waist band on the right. Before long, I just tossed them.

Kwacheek.

Needle Gun drops and breaks on the floor. I didn’t even get much use out of it. I should’ve just bought a gun with all those points I had…. How stupid could I have been…

No, that’s just not it. Everything I did up til this point was stupid. Like thinking that smashing the skull of an Undead would make them stop moving…
