My Villains Episode 009

3. Elemental Wizard (4)

When I looked down at my naked body, my irritated feeling was instantly relieved.

“•••You’re crazy.”

Even when I was a sergeant in my later years and only ate and worked out, my body was never in better shape than this.

I thought the Blood Knight had a thin and elongated body type, but when I took it off, it turned out to be a body trained to the limit, like an artistic gymnast.

As for his height, he seemed to be in his late 180s.

Although he was tall by modern standards, in this world’s view, he was no different from a giant.

Now that I think about it, it seems like most of the people on the way from the dock to the inn were a head shorter than me.

After groping my body for a while, I took off my pants.

“•••Wow, Mr.”

I kind of noticed it when I was urinating in my stomach, but – I can’t say anything.

While I was struggling with pride and happiness, a chilling thought suddenly occurred to me.

What if what I raised on Earth right before I fell asleep was not a male blood knight but a different character?

If I had woken up to a white-haired old necromancer, a tough male martial artist, or a female character – ugh, it was terrible just to imagine it. I felt grateful once again for the body I was given. After I finished washing, Ellen helped me wash. Well, the only thing she did help was watch over her while he went into the cone and washed her body.

Still, the city atmosphere was so scary that I had to be especially careful. Moreover, El Ren, who was half a wizard and could not use magic, was even more dangerous.

The next place we headed to was the guest room… It was really the worst. I was wondering if it could even be called a guest room.

First of all, for three coins you could stay in a shared room, and for eight coins you could stay in a four-person room. There were only two room types. Since the price was three times different, we chose the cheaper shared room.

I prided myself on not being picky about accommodations or places to sleep, and Ellen said she didn’t mind since she had already been traveling for two months.

When I heard about shared rooms, that is, multiple people sharing one room, I thought of the dormitories I stayed in while traveling in Europe.

It wasn’t a bad experience hanging out with young people from all over the world.

I thought that this inn would be a good opportunity to make connections with strangers from another world and gain various information.

•••Why on earth did I feel like such a fool?

The reality was the worst. In the large room used as a communal room, there were about a dozen low beds covered with blankets made of straw and pieces of cloth. All you have to do is choose one of them and lie down to sleep.

The rats running on the roof, the centipedes as thick as my thumb, the smelly straw and the musty blankets all looked like dogs, but the most annoying thing was the other guests.

The innkeeper didn’t know how to count, so he let in six or seven more guests even though all the beds were full.

The funny thing about the people who came in later was that if there were no beds, they had to go out and ask the inn owner, but they just lay down on the floor. I thought they were crazy people.

Among the guests, only about half had washed themselves properly – thankfully – and the rest had a terrible odor.

Among them, a couple of mercenaries were lying on the bed, looking like street homeless people or beggars.

If I really felt like it, I wanted to kick his ass.

And, as if it were obvious, this crazy inn was a mixed dormitory.

I was very worried about Ellen, but the person wearing the brown robe was clearly a wizard, so everyone avoided it. She was fortunate.

As I laid down on the bed, I started swearing without realizing it.

“ha-”

It’s a truly depressing night that makes me cry. Should I say that I feel similar to the first night of training camp? No, it seemed worse than that.

Ellen, who is curled up in a corner and covered with a blanket, continues tossing and turning as if the seat is not comfortable. She also sounded like she was sniffling at first glance.

Well, it must have been scary to be dropped in an unfamiliar place with my bare body.

Moreover, in the scenario, the guy was framed and was being chased. Perhaps his harsh attitude was also an unreasonable defense mechanism to cover up his weak side.

The whimpering sound got a little louder, and small hesitations were added.

I wanted to at least comfort him, but from my experience, in times like this, it’s best to just leave him alone.

•••It was never because I was tired or bothered.

really.

Anyway, I thought I had already gotten the hang of the new world, but staying at this inn made me realize it again.

This world was a messier place than I imagined.

The next morning, I was startled for three reasons.

One was because I got the best sleep I’ve ever had in my life.

“Ugh!”

I let out a loud groan and turned on my dog. What is this, this crazy refreshing feeling? Just before I went to bed, I felt like my head was going to explode from stress, but I felt so refreshed and refreshed, as if I had run my brain through the washing machine and put it back in.

My body was so light it felt like I was flying. Considering the amount of blood I had lost the day before and the poor diet I had, I was in really good shape without any context.

The second thing that surprised me was that both I and Ellen were safe.

When I looked out the window, the sun was already high in the sky. Ellen must have been tired too, so she was sound asleep until now. Even the weapon and bag were intact.

Something rather shocking? Could it be that I misunderstood something about this world?

I found out later that there had been a large-scale public execution a few days ago. They hung all those who caused trouble or committed robbery in the city.

Thanks to this, crime is said to have decreased considerably even though there are not many guards patrolling the streets.

It may have been a temporary effect, but I was just grateful. A moment of silence for dead criminals.

The last thing that surprised me was… It was a dream I had last night.

We sat down at a table in the far corner of the inn hall. I asked Ellen, who was eating oatmeal with her small mouth mumbling eagerly.

“Hey, really, nothing has changed?”

“I said there isn’t one.”

“That can’t be possible…” … Looking at Ellen’s puffy face, she didn’t think she was lying. I’ve only known her for a day, but she doesn’t seem like the kind of person who can act so calmly.

“That’s strange… …

“Stop talking nonsense and just eat. “Can you eat all of that?”

“Hey, of course. “Can I eat twice as much of this?”

I said that and ate the whole bowl of oat porridge and then bit into the grilled fish. I bought three fish the size of my forearm, and this is already the last one.

Oh, I bought grilled fish from a street vendor near the port. It costs two coins per animal, which is expensive, but compared to other foodstuffs, it is practically nothing.

Although the port is blocked and nets cannot be released, fishing is still possible, so a small amount of supply continues.

The meals provided at the inn were small in quantity and expensive, so we each ordered a bowl of oat porridge. But that alone costs four pennies. pestilence.

The reason I was filling my stomach with such a tasteless meal was because I planned to check myself today.

I planned to check my physical condition, such as stamina and strength, as well as my skills.

At the same time, I was planning to check Ellen’s condition as well… … .

“Do you have to tell me if you feel like anything has changed?”

“I understand, so shut up and eat that.”

To talk about the dream again, what I saw in my dream last night was a character sheet.

Even now, when I close my eyes, the character sheet comes to mind. However, that was only a confirmation of my status and did not allow for points to be distributed.

But the window I saw in my dream was different. Points could be distributed by moving the hand.

And the character sheet was divided into Tab I and Tab I overall. My sheet came to mind in Tab I and Ellen’s in Tab H.

In short, in the dream, I was able to distribute not only mine but also Ellen’s skills and stat points!

Naturally, I distributed all the points possible.

Poinix did not have any separate scores. So, after killing the pirates and becoming level 11, all I got was 1 skill point and 5 stat points.

I used it to strengthen the passive skill ‘flowing blood’ and increase my health by 2.

The stat score was 5 points, but the reason health could only be raised to 2 was because of Dark World’s stat system.

In Dark World, the stat points needed to strengthen stats are different for each section. For example, if the stat is 10 or less, the stat point for strengthening is 1 point. However, you need 2 stat points in your teens, 3 in your 20s, 4 in your 30s, 5 in your 40s, and so on.

So my current stats are 20 strength, 16 agility, 18 health, and 1 magic power, excluding item effects.

In reality, 30 points were invested in strength, 22 points in agility, 26 points in health, and 1 point in magic power. There is one point left as an extra point.

The reason magical power was particularly low was due to the characteristics of the class called Blood Knight.

The energy that forms the basis of a blood knight is ‘blood energy (血氣)’.

As its name suggests, it is an energy contained in blood, so it is affected by both health and magical power.

To be precise, the amount of blood was 25% of the health score plus 100% of the magic score.

In other words, my current blood energy is 5 points.

5 points seems very low, but the blood required for use of ‘Blood Blade’ and ‘Blood Shield’ is only 1, and ‘thirst’ is only 2.

This means that even with 5 points, there is no significant problem in using the skill. For this reason, the importance of magical power is relatively low for low-level blood knights.

There are no skills with a magic coefficient yet, and if you work hard on your health to increase your survivability, your blood will increase.

Anyway, currently my health has improved by 2, but I don’t really feel it right now.

I’m in great shape, but there’s no way to know if it’s because I’m well rested or because my health score has improved.

On the other hand, Ellen’s numbers are at an incredible level.

There was a change.

As confirmed in the dream, Ellen was currently level 12. The remaining skill points were 11 points and the stat points were 35 points, and after much deliberation, I distributed all the points.

For skills, 3 points were invested in ‘Flame Arrow’, 1 point in ‘Burning Weapon’, 3 points in ‘Cold Blast’, 3 points in ‘Wind Fist’, and 1 point in ‘Dance Spirit’.

The reason why the 3 attributes of Fire and Cold Wind were chosen is because it is a stable combination that can consistently produce power both during and after growth and is highly versatile.

Boss battles, PK, wide area damage, and single damage were all good, and the survivability was a particularly good combination.

For the stats, 7 points were invested in strength, 9 points in agility, 10 points in health, and 9 points in magic power. As a result, strength became 10, agility 13, health 15, and magic power 23. It was distributed generously without any excess.

In terms of numbers alone, strength has more than doubled and agility has nearly doubled. My health also improved a lot.

At this level, you should see a change that is almost like a complete transformation… .

Why is there no change? Was it really just a dream?

Ellen must have sensed my gaze, as she looked at her white cheek with blue veins and furrowed her brows.

“What do you keep looking at?”

“uh? “Oh, no.”

I suddenly felt anxious, but decided to wait a little.
