No… I’m tired, really. Are you kidding me that it hasn’t even been an hour since then?
It wasn’t a joke. The sunlight shining through the bathroom is still golden in the morning. I think I will be overwhelmed by the time I have to spend in this world from now on…
“Sigh.”
Still, it’s not over yet. Character making is, after all, the basic of the basics, the premise of the premises. ‘Cause I’m barely at the starting line now.
Relax your body from pain and tension and relax your mind.
Again, the theme is an institution that fosters heroes who will save the world, and every cadet who enters here has at least one superhuman trait.
And my starting point is the dormitory building the day before the entrance ceremony. How would you describe it differently? Thousands of young psychics from all over the world now gather in this dormitory.
It cannot be a dangerous situation.
I’m not talking about personal issues. The element I am most wary of at this point. That is, it is the holder of the ‘mind reading’ trait.
Isn’t it obvious? It has the ability to summon the souls of the dead. There is a characteristic of hearing the voice of the soldier. It has the ability to attract others. Communicating with animals and plants.
In that case, it would be negligence to not assume the existence of the trait that reads thoughts, memories, and the past!
In fact, in the original story, one of the characters finds out the truth about the main character, and in the process, she and the main character are friends who fight each other.
The main character is the only one who can talk about the future with his heart. It is the narrative of Lee So-ha, one of the main heroines.
The probability of meeting Lee So-ha from the first day is low, but the possibility of other characteristics that can detect my singularity cannot be excluded.
So, at this point, I had to prepare a countermeasure before leaving the dorm room.
Instructors residing in the theme, scouts living with one eye, and cadets showing off their talents.
It is crucial, even to 『Explore Settings (EX)』, which is the characteristic of the original protagonist. In order to move freely in such an environment, half-baked preparations will not be enough.
Today, I will acquire the characteristics of A-grade here.
“[I swear. What I want is a stronger 『Oath』].”
There was the sound of heavy and hard chains rubbing against each other.
The higher the level of the characteristic 『Oath』, the wider the scope for setting conditions and prices, and the degree of freedom in the way of realization is given.
For example, in the past, when 『Oath』 was E-grade, you had to physically sacrifice it to get 『Immortalism (E)』, but now that it is D-class, you can use a sword. It would have been possible only with an inner oath.
But at the same time, there are things that are impossible no matter how much the rank of 『Oath』 grows.
A representative example is the coercion to remove restrictions and bring only the price. Even if it is possible to improve the efficiency of the scale…
Honesty of getting as much as you throw away is the core of the 『Oath』. If you have nothing to give, you have nothing to gain.
Here’s the important point.
Now, what can I give?
The remaining CP is 16, and you can’t even create the lowest level of the E-class trait.
It has one D-grade and two E-grades, and when combined, it is less than one C-grade.
There is some wealth with inheritance and insurance money, but in the end, it is only enough for one person to live on for the rest of his life.
It is impossible to acquire an A-grade attribute even if I scrape away everything I have now.
Life? Well, there is no need to point out the contradiction of why dying is a premise even though you are trying to survive…
At the most, if an E-class superman can surpass an A-grade to the extent that he is prepared to die, then there is no reason why there is such a distinction between E-class and A-class in this world.
Is there?
At the point when life becomes a chip that can be staked on a gambling board, it is a blessed human being.
Yes, yes. Think like that.
“[With that condition, I.
How fortunate I am that a ‘value guarantee’ exists for me.

At the next moment, my body was razed from the inside out.
“Ah, that, Gaat…!”
Blatantly. A harbinger of transformation in which the skeleton is twisted and the skin is torn. A sound that even causes physiological disgust shakes the whole body.
“Ugh, slurp…!”
Something is boiling inside his throat. Chest pain as if squeezing the heart. As if the lungs are completely shrunken, even if the lungs are clenched, the air cannot pass through the throat, and the stomach inside, the intestines are twisted like a rope, and his scalp is itchy, and his extremities are tingling like thousands of needles. I can’t control my heavy head, so I’m falling down, and then I’m barely grabbing the bathtub and blood vessels soaring up in my arm that supports my upper body aaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Thud!
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
It came like an explosion and then disappeared like a storm. When I woke up, I fell into the bathtub and was curled up like a baby.
He stood still for a while and took a deep breath. Feeling completely worn out. I want to fall asleep like this…
However, the mind separated from the body is immovable. To be honest, I was tired enough to die, but my mind was sharp and I was contemplating such a thought.
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”
I grab the bathtub and try to get up, but it’s not easy. The feel of your arm is dull and heavy, like a piece of meat caught in a butcher’s shop.
After holding your breath for a while, you give up, and slowly check your body for discomfort while completely submerged in a sense of weakness.
My cheeks are itchy and I can’t see well in front of my eyes. It’s only natural that his hair is spread out and covered his face.
Nails grow like monsters and are longer than the knuckles of the fingers, and the toenails must be the same. Could have been a little taller too.
Yes. My body now is one year, four months, and 23 days old.
[Life is deducted by 500 days]
[Attribute 『Oath (D)] has grown to 『Oath (C)』]
This is my answer. If you have nothing to devote to the present… you can draw on the future. A simple conclusion.
Achilles in Greek mythology is famous for being immortal. Once upon a time, Achilles had an oracle, which was as follows.
If he goes to war, he will gain honor that will last for generations, but he will die early.
Achilles chose an honorable life without hesitation, and in exchange for a short-lived fate, he is praised in myths and legends to the present day.
The precepts I put forward are in the same vein.
Of course, this is usually a very difficult feat. If the people of this world saw it, they would shout nonsense.
Because the future is basically something that has not yet come, something whose contents are unknown, and therefore something that is difficult to measure.
To pay for future possibilities, you need to be able to accurately quantify that very value.
As long as there are no traits related to foresight, it’s impossible to start with just the “Oath”, which is only a D-grade…
However, for me, there is an absolute standard that can give a price to the quantity of time.
The currency value directly authorized by the system.
***
[CP acquisition method is divided into short-term weight [event] and long-term weight [relationship], respectively.
You gain CP whenever your avatar’s actions cause influence.
Depending on the presence of the avatar, CP is acquired at regular intervals]
[Avatar is an excellent character enough to be admitted to [Theme], the world’s best hero training institution.
According to this probability, the participant basically acquires 1 CP per day just by its existence]
***
CP is the weight of the characters in the story and comprehensively indicates the degree to which they can influence the world.
Let’s say I turned around by advising one of the characters, “You’re more like a grenade launcher than a chainsaw.”
Then I get N CP for the event that changed the character’s future, and 0. n CP for each day in the relationship changed by that event.
Gratitude and liking for finding the right aptitude will make the character more attentive to my words and actions.
In this way, the influence I can project on others consistently guarantees a certain amount of stake. It is expressed as the amount of CP obtained per day.
The fact that Park Dan-hyeok gets 1 CP a day just for his existence can be interpreted as representing the ‘relationship with myself’, which is the standard for all relationships.
The potential impact of fully owning one of the lowest ranks in the academy. This is the standard of measurement of 1 CP per day.
Translating that meaning into 『Oath』, it means that my life now has an exchange value of at least 1 CP per day.
Throw it away

[I wrote the characteristic 『Perceptual Distortion (A)』]
10,000 CP. 27 years and 5 months.
Now, my lifespan has been shortened by about 53 years in total.
“Ah.”
Woo woo woo woo!
The world shakes, and there is a shock like the sound of a huge bell pounding through my body.
When the 『Oath』 has reached grade C, the payment of lifespan can be treated as sudden death, not aging. Therefore, there is no physical changes and pain associated with it…
It seems that the center of the chest has been pierced. The pain spreads like ripples from the heart to the whole body.
The feeling that the existence of me has withered from the root, not in the body, but beyond it, in a deeper part. A feeling of despair, weakness, and emptiness as if the flame of life had been extinguished to the very core.
Ah, I feel like I’m going to die. really.
It’s just that the whole world is sad.
I don’t even think I’m crazy. As soon as he entered the world in the novel, he said that he committed self-harm, self-harm, self-harm.
A maniac who castrated himself in an hour, ripped his stomach, dismantled his whole body, and decapitated his life for decades just because it was necessary.
What do you mean if you’re not a maniac?
But at the same time, there was me who was still soberly evaluating the situation inside of me who was so sad.
In the end, the sense of emptiness I feel right now is nothing more than a void of what was thrown away, a momentary reaction of payment.
No matter what you say, if you eat delicious food and sleep well, you will be back to normal. I know myself well.
As long as I win, I can take everything. Then you must win. Even at all costs!
The sacrifice you make for victory is only a temporary process, as you can get back whatever you lost.
As always,
It’s okay if you take it and pay it back.
It’s not because I want to win. It’s not because I can’t lose.
I decided to win, so I’m going to win! With power!
“[I swear. What I want is an indulgence of murder. As a condition, I…]”
If you come to think of it, it seems that the corners of your lips are already rising.
“[Until I leave the academy, I will kill the villains in the original as much as I will kill the good characters in the original]!”

[Wow! Annihilation Route!]
◈ Pledge: Balancing good and evil
◈ Deadline: Until you drop out of the academy
▸Cost: Karma fluctuations are offset

Because there was a character that had to be killed before dropping out of the academy sooner or later.
The day before the entrance ceremony, the first day I fell into this world.
