He has a genius talent, but it’s hard to even run without medicine.

The game character I made with the third alt character.

prologue

“Now then, what character should I make this time…”

I sat in front of the computer, messing with my messy hair.

After a few simple taps on the keyboard, a familiar interface comes to mind and reflects your face.

When I entered the ID and password and connected, the phrase WORLD ver.3.0 came up and then disappeared, and two people appeared on the screen.

A young man dozed off while chopping down a thick log, and a shooter holding a rifle shining bright blue.

A slightly faded gauntlet fell near the young man, and a magic circle slowly rotated over the muzzle of the shooter’s rifle.

He looked at the young man and the warrior and put the mouse down and pondered for a while.

The two men moving inside the monitor are the characters of the game he created and raised himself.

The game WORLD was famous for continuously changing the worldview and timeline through steady updates while aiming for an open world single player.

He also played the game and created and raised a new character every time an update progressed.

Since I enjoyed the game enough in ver 1.0 and 2.0, I think I will need a new character in ver 3.0.

As if thinking for a moment, he quickly grabbed the mouse and pressed the character creation button.

Actually, I had already thought about what kind of character I would make.

The third character was intended to be a character specialized in magic.

I wanted to properly feel the magical mulberry flavor he felt when playing the horse musketeer he made as his second character.

The splendid magic circle, powerful power, and versatility that cannot be found in other occupations or skills in WORLD were obviously very attractive advantages even in the wide open world.

To the extent that he, who used to raise the horse musketeer, fell into a so-called manggae because he had a taste for magic and invested too much in magic ability.

Knowing through the game that there is a single difference between omnipotence and incompetence, he intended to develop a completely wizard-only character this time.

In the selection window that determines the initial character’s talent, if you focus your talent on magic, at least you won’t become an ambiguous character.

“Then shall we begin?”

Having made a decision, he quickly decided on the character’s appearance and age, passed it over to the talent distribution window, and poured all of the given potential into magic-related items.

“Magic reserve, control ability, arithmetic ability… You shouldn’t forget about the affinity called mana response.”

After hitting the initial distribution value in the ability related to magic, the finished character was truly spectacle.

On a 30-point scale, the magic stat hovered around 25-27, and the body-related stats barely took 3 or 4. The walking corpse was completed.

It might not be an illusion that the complexion of the character on the other side of the screen, wearing clothes similar to a patient’s uniform, looked pale.

However, he looked at the monitor for a long time with a dissatisfied face, then fixed the mouse again.

He moved the cursor all the way down the stat window to the attribute column and clicked the arrow to list the attributes that could be selected.

It is a characteristic column made to give a character’s innate constitution, talent, or special ability, but adding these characteristics also requires a formidable ability value.

That’s why it’s common to simply add one or two traits that are useful in any situation and move on, but he started down the list without even looking at the other traits.

After going down the list for a while, useful traits such as Sun Mu Retarded and Blue Blood disappeared, and traits written in red letters appeared.

All kinds of bad traits that seemed to penalize the character, such as chronic headaches, depletion of mana, and sexual repulsion.

People who don’t know it are easy to misunderstand that it is a useless feature that exists purely for concept play, but having played this game twice, he knew exactly the real reason.

With a careful look on his face, he picked out some of the unhelpful traits and started adding them to the character.

“Add Scarecrow, Insomnia, Mana Addict, Excess Pay, and Jaein Park Myung… Lifespan doesn’t matter.”

It’s an incomprehensible act that puts a demerit on the character to play directly, but surprisingly, every time he added the characteristic written in red letters to the character, the remaining distribution ability, which I thought was completely used up, began to increase little by little.

The ‘karma system’, which is activated only when creating a character in WORLD, pays an additional price equal to the penalty applied to the character.

Because of this karma system, players who enjoy WORLD were able to create characters more freely, free from the limitations of simple stats and characteristics.

By adding a few penalties, it is possible to add additional talents or characteristics to the character that are not allowed by the ability level.

Until now, he had never actively utilized such a karma system, but this time, he decided to push the concept of the character to the end as much as he could as he was determined to create the character.

It was only after filling all magic-related stats to a perfect score of 30 with the remaining stats obtained in exchange for the penalty that was piled up on the character that he pressed the creation completion button with a satisfied face.

If you use magic for a long time for innate low quality stamina, insomnia, you will suffer from addiction symptoms, your life span will be cut in half due to excessive talent, and you will be a patient whose whole body creaks every time you move, but what does that matter?

It’s just a game character. There has never been a more perfect character to have fun with magic.

“It will be fun.”

If you have this kind of talent, you should be able to pull out more than expected no matter what kind of magic you learn.

Just contemplating which magic to learn is already a lot of fun.

After setting the character’s name and background roughly randomly and finishing editing, a black loading screen fills the monitor.

“……”

His eyes, which had been idle while waiting for the loading to finish, suddenly turned to the bottom of the screen.

This is because the game tip text that appears in the corner of the loading screen to appease gamers’ boredom was particularly annoying.

[The first is a coincidence. The second is inevitable. The third is fate.]

[All three updates recorded for this moment.]

[Accept your fate]

“What is this…”

The moment he muttered to himself in a tone that was quite forceful for a tip phrase,

A black light flashed and swallowed everything in the room whole.

It only ate up every trace of a person’s life before it satisfactorily burped and disappeared.

As if there had been nothing from the beginning, thick dust had accumulated in the room at some point.
