Chapter 1

This is a story that starts without much thought. Please enjoy it.

※I am trying to correct any typos or missing characters gradually. > <

※Sorry...

What is this?

Is it that you can't punch a magic user?

When I sent a message to a friend,

『You're an idiot』

was the reply I got.

Either way, the fact that I chose a magic user and took the 【Slash】 skill remains unchanged.

Frequent character deletion incurs penalties, so I have no choice but to continue playing with this character for now.

An apprentice magic user has low HP.

It seems they have a lot of MP, and it was possible to spam the 【Slash】 skill, but there is a cooldown, and it was faster to just punch normally.

The skill at level 1 deals 150% damage, but for a magic user with low physical stats, it's a tough situation.

Still, if I focus on increasing the power, it might not be unusable.

In Growing Skill Online, you can adjust the parameters of your skills yourself, so it's all about increasing the power, rather than improving the motion, mastering the skill, or reducing the MP cost.

Why did I choose a magic user?

Because the world of this game is a medieval European fantasy.

When it comes to fantasy, it's magic, right?

I didn't have the option of choosing a sword.

As a result, even the green rabbits around the first town almost killed me.

This is a problem.

Even if I ask for help from a friend, I hear they are busy with the strategy group.

There was no way I could join a random party.

I need to level up and get the 【Energy Ball】 skill.

Once I learn it using a skill book, all I need to do is buy a staff and start playing as a magic user.

For now, I'll consider taking the 【Slash】 skill in case I get caught in close combat.

I have no intention of doing a gimmick play.

Frankly, what's the point of playing a VRMMORPG where you can't team up with anyone?

So, I'll head to the magic user guild to learn the initial magic user skill, 【Energy Ball】.

Even though the game has just started, there were already many people selling monster materials, known as street vendors.

They all spread out their cloths and placed items on top.

Apparently, you get this cloth for clearing the tutorial.

It seems that anyone who clears the tutorial during the open sale gets a 【Street Vendor Cloth】.

I skipped the tutorial.

I didn't even look at the official site.

What's this...?

But even without having my own shop, as an MMO, you should be able to buy and sell equipment and interact with other players. For me, who focuses on adventure over production, it's not necessary.

I don't need it, grrr.

More importantly, where is the magic user guild? Could it be that the place I first appeared after logging in was the magic user guild?

Since I chose a magic user, even though I'm still an apprentice.

It seems I was heading in the completely opposite direction, so I'll try to take a shortcut through the back alleys. There seem to be paths that the system allows and doesn't allow, but I managed to get through.

“Ho ho, what brings you to this back alley? This path leads to the library, but it's not a path for someone like you to take.”

There was a suspicious old man with a staff. The old man pointed the way back with his staff.

It seems he was blocking the path.

More importantly, what does it mean that this path leads to the library?

“Excuse me, isn't this the path to the magic user guild?”

“Are you directionally challenged? As a service, if you go back and follow the road straight, you'll see a sign.”

When the old man snapped his fingers, I found myself back at the entrance of the alley.

What is this, magic? Amazing!

Maybe I've found a powerful character.

If I can get the teleportation spell, I might be able to help the strategy group with movement and have a carefree adventure.

Where am I heading?

I'll go straight down this alley and beg or do anything it takes.
