For example, Kael’s Soldier Form allowed him to shoot forward while changing his angle diagonally. If he wanted to fire toward either side, however, he had to adjust his footing and reset his stance first.That took time.The Joker Form was much more flexible because Kael could move around and fire while changing positions, but compared to the Soldier Form, it sacrificed power. Kael could shoot more quickly and from more directions, but he had to make up for the weaker damage with speed and constant movement.That was where the Master Form became valuable.From this low stance, Kael could move his upper body sideways much more easily without having to reposition his entire body. More importantly, his muscles were already familiar with firing from this position. He could change his shooting angle without losing much of his usual strength or speed.The greatest advantage of the Master Form was its adaptability.It allowed Kael to respond to attacks and targets from almost any angle, som

Crafting a wooden bow on the Tutorial Island was far more difficult than it sounded. The Tutorial Forest was famous for the toughness of its trees, and since it was the only source of wood available on the island, turning that material into anything useful required more than simply having the right skill.Garrick had emphasized that point several times while shaping the bow’s riser.Kael held his own piece of wood and copied the newbie helper’s movements as closely as possible. He had abandoned the sharp stone he once relied on and now used the Steel Ax instead. Rather than swinging it like an ordinary ax, he held it close to the sharpest part of the blade and used it almost like a knife, carefully shaving away pieces of wood.The difference was enormous.Kael frequently commented on how much easier the Steel Ax made the work compared to the crude and exhausting method he had been forced to use before. He had spent enough time struggling with primitive tools to appreciate the differen

With the riser shaped, Kael spent most of his time bending the tough wood into the proper curve of a longbow. Some sections were still too stiff, so he carefully removed them instead of forcing the material into a shape it could not naturally hold.This was going to be his first weapon, so Kael was even more careful than usual.Once the wood had reached the shape he wanted, he brought the riser closer to the bonfire. He slowly passed it above the flames, using an old and rather primitive method to improve the wood’s flexibility and strength.He had to be careful.One mistake could ruin hours of work.Kael focused entirely on the bow and the fire, treating the process with the same concentration he would give a battle. He adjusted the riser’s position little by little, making sure the flames heated the wood without burning it.When that was finished, Kael used wolf hide in place of sandpaper. He rubbed it along the handle, edges, and rims until the rough surfaces became smooth enough t

It had been a long time since dinner, which he had completely missed because he had been too absorbed in crafting.His parents preferred that everyone ate together, but they were also accustomed to their children missing meals for one reason or another. Tonight, everyone had already returned to their rooms.Kael reheated the food in the microwave.While he waited for it to finish, Elara appeared in the kitchen.His older sister seemed to have an unusual talent for finding people.“…still mad at me?” Elara asked.Kael glanced at her before looking away.He sighed.“I just don’t understand why I must hide my skills from my friends.”“Cause’ you soon might not be friends at all, and then they will remember, ‘Right, Kael has legendary skill! Let’s hunt him down and steal it from him!’ That’s why.”Elara repeated the same argument she had used when she first scolded Kael for casually telling her about Fenrath.Kael frowned.“Just because you often change friends doesn’t mean I’m the same.
Chapter 23
Three ordinary wolves guarded the entrance to their boss’s nest as they did every day.They moved quietly around the camp, careful not to make enough noise to disturb the Wolf Boss sleeping inside. Everything appeared normal.Then something whistled through the forest.One wolf suddenly collapsed.A second later, another fell face-first into the grass.The final guard did not even realize his companions were dead before an arrow pierced his forehead.All three kills had been incredibly clean. Each wolf had an arrow buried in its skull, yet barely any blood had escaped.Anyone fortunate enough to witness the scene would have understood immediately how difficult such kills were.The Tutorial Island was filled with troublesome monsters, and these three wolves were especially annoying to players attempting to challenge the boss. Getting past them without alerting the Wolf Boss was difficult, which made silently eliminating all three an important part of the fight.The Archer responsible h

The following day, Kael entered the Wolf Boss’s arena wearing completely different equipment.It was the first proper armor set he had created with his newest crafting skill, Tailoring, which he had learned through the survival training Garrick had given him.The materials came from the Wolf Boss itself.Kael had used its hide and fur to create a set that made him look almost like a humanoid version of the monster. Thick wolf skin covered him from head to toe, giving him considerably more protection than his beginner clothes, but also making him feel as though he had wrapped himself in a suit of rigid leather.[You’re wearing the Wolf Boss’ set, The White Wolf Hunter, personally crafted by you.][Your defenses have been increased by 50%.]The White Wolf Hunter had been designed specifically for Kael’s activities on the Tutorial Island. Its thick leather offered excellent protection against physical attacks, and the fifty percent increase to his defenses was a significant improvement.

Garrick was a newbie helper who had met all kinds of players.He had encountered people similar to Kael before, but very few were as balanced and self-aware as him. Most players had strengths that came with obvious weaknesses, yet they often failed to recognize where one ended and the other began. Kael was different. He understood his own flaws remarkably well and had even found ways to turn some of them into advantages.Garrick could tell that Kael’s plan to reach the Unconquerable Mountain was absurd.Even the most reckless players rarely considered spending that much time on the Tutorial Island. The increased Strength and Dexterity stats gained from the journey were certainly useful, but the amount of time required made the entire endeavor difficult to justify.A serious player could clear the Tutorial Island through the established routes and move on to the mainland much sooner. Almost every diligent player eventually did exactly that.Kael, however, had found countless reasons to

Another battle between Kael and the Wolf Boss began.‘I’ll get you this time! Soldier will!’Kael pulled the bowstring all the way to his highest anchor point, gathering as much strength as he could before releasing the bone arrow.The arrow struck with incredible force.[You have done a critical strike!][-251 HP!]Even Kael was surprised by the damage.He immediately sank into his deepest state of concentration. His Archery vision seemed to expand, revealing more possible trajectories than he had ever noticed before. New angles appeared in his mind, each one giving him another way to approach the boss.Then Kael understood.This was it.He could feel it.He would defeat the Wolf Boss with the Soldier Form.Even if his following critical strikes were weaker, he could still deal a considerable amount of damage. More importantly, after throwing himself into countless battles against the boss, Kael had learned something he had been lacking before.He knew how to take a hit.It was proba

Kael nervously stared at the monitor in front of him, where different occupations and their potential earnings were displayed.He did not bother using the breathing technique he had learned to calm himself. There was no point. He was about to speak with the very person who had taught him that technique, his father.Only Lucian could push Kael this far outside his comfort zone.“Alright,” Kael said, licking his lips. “That’s all I have to convince him.”He turned off his PC, left his room, and went downstairs to talk to his father about his future.When Kael reached the living room, he immediately noticed that his mother was not there.His mood sank.His mother usually stepped in whenever a conversation between him and his father started going in an uncomfortable direction. She was practically a lifeline whenever he needed one.Kael sighed and sat on the sofa across from his father.He smiled nervously.Lucian got straight to the point.“College or work?”“I’m thinking of working,” Kae

Kael was cutting down another tree while Garrick sat nearby, casually keeping him company as they talked.“Oh, so you’re already adapting to the new schedule?” Garrick asked after learning that Kael had decided to attend college.He had noticed the change over the past few days. Kael had stopped following his old gaming schedule and no longer logged in from morning until afternoon. Instead, he only entered Legendfall to spend time with Fenrath or work at the crafting table.For someone as consistent as Kael, the change was unusual.Kael explained that he had been forced to choose between working and continuing his studies. After hearing that Lucian had convinced his son to attend college, Garrick developed an even greater respect for Kael’s father.He knew how difficult it was to change Kael’s mind once the young man had decided on something.“I won’t log in in the mornings and early afternoon. And I decided to attend the Archery club on Monday and Wednesday, so I will probably log in
