There was so much to see in the city where players went after graduating from the Beginnerâs village.
Far from insufficient, it was superior to other cities.
The setting was obviously made on purpose.
The beginnerâs village was not that different from the tutorial mode.
What if the city that represented the real God Wars to players was tiny, had nothing to see, and was no fun?
People were going to lose their interest.
âI finally found it.â
Midas found the NPC, Sahalinâs house after running around the huge Wiga city for two hours.
He couldâve complained about this.
However, he did not do that.
âIf this quest was discovered by others, 99 out of 100 wouldâve sworn hard at them and the last wouldâve thrown eggs at Alpha company for sure.â
If Midas couldnât see the title <NPC, Sahalinâs house>, his 7-year-old niece, Hyerin, entering elementary school wouldâve been a lot faster than Midas completing the quest. (TL: Korean elementary schools start at 8 years old.)
Midas swallowed his swear words, picked up his head, and checked the shape of the building.
It was a two-story stone construction.
It didnât look that special compared to the buildings next to it.
âThe Explorerâs guild is not here.â
That the Explorerâs guild was not in the place was showing that no one knew about the value of this place.
âWas it newly created as I thought?â
At the same time, it was showing that Midasâs hypothesis was highly possible.
Midas tried to knock on the door nervously.
âWhat if they donât open the door? What if they ask me about some kind of password or something?â
He was worried about the door not opening.
âHuh?â
However, there was no knocking sound.
Midasâs hand just passed through the door.
It was a scene he couldnât believe if it was in the real world.
However, it wasnât that surprising in God Wars.
âItâs an illusion.â
It was illusion magic as he thought.
âOk!â
As soon as he saw that, he didnât hesitate to push himself inside the door.
His body had disappeared over the door.
The inside of the building was much wider than what Midas had expected from outside.
The house was full of bookshelves that were full of books.
Midas put down Lucky on the floor first.
Woof Woof!
Lucky barked out loud as he was holding it in for so long.
Woof Woof!
Midas shushed at Lucky who kept barking at him.
âLucky, hush!â
Woof Woof!
However, Lucky didnât stop barking and Midas knitted his eyebrows.
âI was being too much. I told him to be quiet in my bosom for two hours.â
Grrrrrr!
Midas couldnât scold Lucky because he felt bad and suddenly Lucky started to show his teeth and growl.
âWait, Lucky.â
Midas was surprised but figured out Lucky wasnât looking at him.
âOh!â
Midas turned around.
âHow did you get in here?â
As soon as he turned around, he could hear a young femaleâs voice.
However, he couldnât see the owner of the voice.
âWhat? Even I canât see? Is it some kind of stealth magic?â
Midas looked at the ceiling.
âHey! Look down!â
Then something hit Midasâs leg.
Only after that, Midas found a gnome magician whose height was half of Midasâs.
âI asked how you got in here!â
NPC, Sahalin.
Midas put his left hand up before answering her who had the sign above her head.
A red jewel ring was shown on his finger.
âDo you know about this ring?â
âYea, I made it for Yoong. That was why youâre able to come in here.â
Midas smiled at the answer.
âSo, the reason how Iâm able to come in here is already explained.â
âHumph.â
Sahalin snorted.
A question mark above her head turned to an exclamation mark.
[ You have completed the quest. ]
The alert rang.
âYoong is going crazy while being stuck in the countryside. I canât believe he sent someone like you.â
Soon, Sahalin continued her words.
âI donât talk to amateurs who can only hunt goblins.â
Then a question mark appeared above her head.
It meant a new quest came up.
âIt was called mission impossible.â
Midas already knew about it so he wasnât that surprised.
âLetâs see how hard it is.â
He kept his composure because he didnât expect anything hard.
Sahalin opened her mouth to Midas who was so relaxed.
âIf you want to talk to me, hunt 10,000 orcs.â
âHaha, Itâs nothingâŠâŠ What?â
Midasâs thinking stopped at that moment.
âHow many?â
After he could think again, he was still blanked out.
âDid you say 10,000 orcs?â
He kept asking and Sahalin also kept answering.
âYes.â
He finally figured out the situation and distorted his face.
âFuck, it doesnât make any sense!â
Hunting 10,000 orcs did not make any sense.
âI know itâs called mission impossible, but itâs too much! Tom Cruise from the movie, Mission Impossible, canât even do this!â
The quest was as impossible as its title.
Midas wanted to hurl abusive language right away.
Of course, he couldnât.
âWhy? Canât you do this?â
Nothing would happen even if he did that to the NPC.
ââŠ.Nothing.â
The system sent an alert to Midas.
[ A new quest was created on the list of the main scenario quest. ]
At the same time, a quest window appeared in front of Midas.
[ Mission Impossible ]
â Rank: Main scenario
â Level: Above 1
â Content: Find a piece of the nameless god. You can find it with very low probability when you hunt orcs.
â Reward: Unknown
! Reward: Skill card (Unique)
! When completing the quest, you get the title âThe man approved by Sahalinâ.
! Reward for the title: Rune (Intelligence +20)
âHuh?â
Midasâs facial expression changed.
He looked at the gnome magician with wide-open eyes.
Sahalin saw Midasâs eyes and sneered at him with a deep smile.
âIf you get lucky, you are going to have to hunt only 5,000. So, pray to your god.â
Midas smiled instead of answering.
A very bright smile.
5.
There was the Stinky Forest located to the south of Wiga city where players visited the most after graduating from the Beginnerâs village.
This hunting field was full of roaming orcs at a higher level than goblins and made the players frustrated.
âOh, shit. The tanker died.â
âFucking idiot, he should have run away!â
âOh, fucking tanker. How did he miss it? Whatâs the point of offering him the item set? Heâs so stupid!â
There were so many players who stopped hunting due to their parties.
They were still fine but couldnât continue hunting.
âPhew.â
âHa.â
It was a situation they couldnât help letting out a sigh.
That was why the Stinky Forest was also called the sighing forest.
Of course, it wasnât like that for everyone.
Hum~!
Midas who appeared with Lucky in the Stinky Forest seemed happy.
âJust one more.â
If he hunted just one more orc, he could get a unique ranked skill card.
It was possible because it was Midas.
âHa, the others will complain a lot while completing this quest.â
Even if the other players acquired this quest, they had to hunt so many orcs until they found a piece of the nameless god.
âThis game definitely depends on luck.â
In Midasâs position, it was very pleasing.
Woof!
Lucky also made happy sounds because of Midasâs satisfied expression.
âI feel great that I might find it soon. Lucky, what do you think?â
Woof!
âWhat? Did you say you are going to find a unique ingredient on the way for your owner? Thatâs so sweet of you!â
Woof!
Midas shared his happiness with Lucky and narrowed his eyes to look at the Stinky Forest.
He was smiling.
âI really think I can find it soon.â
And his prediction became a reality.
6.
âAhhh!â
A tiny player put his wooden shield in front of him and made a loud shout.
Bam!
At that moment, something made a thundering sound in front of the wooden shield.
Krrr!
It was an orc wearing leather pants.
The scene looked very weird.
The playerâs height seemed to be a maximum of 5.2ft, however, the orcâs height looked over 6ft.
The orc seemed to be able to push the player back easily.
âYaaap!â
Krrrr!
However, they both didnât get pushed back and evenly demonstrated their power.
It was only possible because it was a game.
âIâm glad I prepared the items!â
That was why people played the game.
They couldnât experience something like this in their real lives.
âHey, I caught it!â
âOk! Now, Iâm going to cast the spell!â
âIâm ready to heal! Tell me when you are in danger!â
While the player who was a tanker blocked the orc, the magician behind him cast a spell and the healer waited for his turn until they needed him.
If there was an audience, they could nod and clap at their party play.
âFuck.â
However, Midas couldnât clap his hands at the scene.
[ Orcâs items ]
â Orcâs canine tooth
â Orcâs leather
â A piece of the nameless god
Because this was the orc that Midas was looking for.
âFuck!â
It was the worst-case scenario that could happen to Midas.
âItâs even inside the Explorerâs line!â
It was even inside the Explorerâs barrier where the Explorerâs guildâs rules existed.
âIf I PK them and get caughtâŠâŠâ
PK was not allowed in the area.
âThey are not going to let me play the game.â
Also, the three playersâ item settings included a rare item and seemed like they spent a lot of money.
âThey are going to succeed in hunting it by the looks of the item settings.â
There were two meanings to that.
One was that they had enough fighting strength to hunt the orc.
The other was that they had enough will to take revenge by paying the Explorerâs guild if they got killed by Midas.
ââŠ..If I ask them to hunt together, they are going to think that Iâm crazy.â
He couldnât even say stuff like âHey guys, Iâm in the middle of the main scenario quest, and luckily the orc has the quest item I need. So, could you please give him away to me or hunt together?â
Actually, Midas already had the answer.
âI knew it. Fucking game of luck!â
Giving up.
Midas came up with those two words and soon turned around from the fight.
âHey, Daechul!â
Suddenly, the mood had changed and Midas turned his head back.
âWhatâs going on?â
Midas found out a tanker named Daechul, who was fighting well so far, stopped like a dummy.
âYou donât say heâs forcibly logged out!â
âI knew it! I told you to log out once!â
âOh, fuck!â
It was a forced logout for safety.
Midasâs eyes started glowing again.
In the meantime, the situation quickly continued.
Karr!
The orc pushed the tank down and stepped on him without mercy then he postured a mount position.
Thud, Thud!
It punched the tankerâs head with its fists in the mount position.
Thwish!
At that moment, an ice arrow got stuck on the orcâs body.
It was an attack from the magician who finished casting the ice arrow.
He tried to stop his comradeâs death.
It was not a wise action.
Krrr!
The orcâs attention went directly to the magician and it rushed towards him like a mad bull.
âWa.. Wait!â
The magician got freaked out and ran away, however, his low stamina didnât help him.
The distance between them instantly got closed and the orc knocked him down with its body.
Bam!
The magicianâs body struck a tree and fell on the ground with a bone breaking sound.
Krrrr!
The orc shouted victory.
âWhat theâŠâ
The healer stiffened right away.
Midas started to calculate.
âShould I wait?â
The best situation was that the orc killed the party and then Midas rushed in there.
However, there were always variables.
If the tanker logged in again, the party could fight back again.
Also, they could use an SOS voucher when they were still alive because they were within the Explorerâs barrier.
Midas started to look around.
His sight was limited by the trees in the forest, but he could see some players far away.
âItâs not that far.â
They could hear the SOS and accept it.
Midas finished calculating.
âIf the best is not possible, then itâs the second-best plan.â
As soon as he chose the second plan, he showed himself.
Then he started talking loudly.
âWait! Guys! I see the party is in danger. What should I do?â
Midas spoke loud so that the healer could hear him clearly.
The healer turned his head right away towards Midasâs shout.
And the moment the healer found Midas, he screamed.
âHelp me!â

Midas smiled and shouted.
âI got an SOS, so Iâm going to rescue him! Now, letâs go!â
