My Villains Episode 036

10. 4th floor underground⑴

A narrow room with the dim light of a halogen bulb and a gloomy cold air..

My tailbone is throbbing..

Oh, the chair is so uncomfortable..

“When was the last time you saw your nephew?

“What conversation did you have with Ms. Han Ji-won before parting ways??”

“Was there anything particularly memorable about you??”

I don't know.

You don't know, you bastards. I don't remember anything.

Everyone turn a blind eye, please.

I want to go home. I want to hide under the blanket.

short ringtone.

The text that appeared on the screen was - Return to school? Hmm, you sound like a dog..

It's good.

Ah, that sound again. something I don't want to hear.

the sound of drying blood.

Let's grease the hinges.

uh?

“Hey, Seungsu Kim.”

“older sister?”

“Seungsu Kim.”

“••••••older sister.”

“this person-”

the stars are twinkling.

and.

My sister, you are still young. The taste is alive.

“Honey, stop.”

“Let go! Well, I knew it would happen like this someday! I'll kill you!”

“It's not my brother-in-law's fault, please.”

“It's not just once or twice, but it happens every time I get involved with that thing! How can it not be my fault?!”

“stop! Let's go out first. Brother-in-law, I'll contact you later..”

No, brother. It's my fault.

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry.”

heaven and earth turn over.

A mattress with a falling blanket and a computer desk with photos on it..

my familiar room.

No, I'm used to it?

There's no way you'll be used to the room you moved into right after being discharged..

I dragged a notepad file and placed it in the center of the empty desktop..

An angelic face with gorgeous blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes..

A girl who has not yet bloomed is blurred by water..

Jiwon, I’m sorry..

My trembling hand fumbles with the brace support. The knot is completed beyond blurred vision..

“Sorry. I'm really sorry.”

muttering like a fool.

I kicked the chair..

““Ugh.” I jumped up as if struck by lightning and quickly looked around..

It was a narrow room.

A cloth with the sound of chirping birds, a bed with damp straw sticking out, luggage neatly arranged in the corner, the faint smell of coal, and a window through which pale early morning sunlight streams in..

And, Ellen, the girl sleeping lazily in the bed across from us..

Seeing his peaceful expression brings a sigh of relief..

“Phew.”

But, uh-why does my head hurt so much? I feel like I had a dream, but I don’t remember anything..

When I see something heavy in my heart... I guess I had a nightmare because of something that happened the day before yesterday..

Did I later feel guilty about the people I killed and the people who died because of me?.

A thought occurred to me - perhaps the reason I can't remember my dream is because of the character sheet.?

After falling into this world, every time I fell asleep, a character sheet would appear in front of my eyes. It was a little different from a dream, my consciousness was clear and my memories were clear..

So I wonder if other dreams are being erased from my memory because of the character sheet..

Oh, speaking of character sheets reminds me of this..

Thanks to the battle that took place two days ago, I am now level 12..

This was really strange. According to my rough calculations, my experience level after leaving the sewer was less than 2,000 at most..

Poison's experience was 700, no, he would have divided it with Ellen, so he calculated it to be around 420, and even if you add up the experience of the remaining gangsters, it was far less than 3,000..

12Considering that the experience required to become a level is 3,600, the experience point close to 1000 was not enough, but the level suddenly increased..

Another strange thing happened.

1 point is added to the passive skill, ‘flowing blood’ for free..

In addition, by adding additional skill points gained as the level increases, the mastery score for 'Running Blood' has already reached 5 points..

1Thousands of experience points of unknown origin and automatically strengthened ‘flowing blood’ skill.

These were things that could never happen in a game..

Why on earth do things like this happen??

After thinking about this issue alone, the tentative conclusion I came to was ‘growth through training.’.

First of all, experience.

The reason I expected my current experience to be less than 3,000 was because I only calculated the experience gained from killing..

This means that experience points are not calculated for sparring with Grania or beating up a gangster..

But looking at how I leveled up, maybe I gained up to 1000 experience points through those things..

And the ‘flowing blood’ skill.

‘‘Running Blood’ was the most used skill as it was a passive skill..

In particular, in the battle against poison, the blood in the body was actively controlled to drive out the poison..

‘Considering that 'flowing blood' is a skill that promotes recovery of vitality and controls one's own blood, I did not know that the skill level was accumulated through the battle with Poison..

Of course, this is just a guess, and I don't know exactly why this strange thing happened..

“Besides, I'm not the only one who's had strange things happen to me..”

I muttered that and looked at Ellen..

Quietly.

They say there are no angels if you don't open your mouth..

It would be great if you behaved a little more calmly on a regular basis. Well, there are times when a fierce personality can be helpful, so should I accept it? Still, it would be nice if you spoke a little more politely..

•••I'm not his dad, what are you thinking?.

Anyway, Ellen awakened her magic during the bloody battle two days ago. I was curious as to how I had awakened to magic, but that night the mystery was immediately answered..

My level has risen to 13.

I don't know the exact mechanism, but it is partly reflected in the skill points and stat points earned as the level increases..

However, the problem is that it was only partially reflected..

What I took was 35 stat points and 11 skill points..

However, this time, the only points applied to Ellen as she leveled up were 16 stat points and 6 skill points..

The remaining points were not applied and returned as road extra points..

I immediately took another picture, but there was no change, just like it did when we first met..

The reason why this happened - and this is just my guess - seems to be that realistically, stats and skills cannot grow explosively overnight..

To illustrate, to use an extreme example, what would have happened if I had put all 35 points into strength when I first met Ellen??

Then, my strength stat would have exceeded 20 points, so I had to gain superhuman strength right away..

But there is no way that a teenage girl with a height of about 150 cm could develop such terrifying strength overnight.?

In other words, my conclusion was that level-up points are distributed over time to make realistic changes..

Ellen's current stats had risen evenly across the board. Strength increased by 3, agility by 1, health by 3, and magic power by 1, and thanks to this, no change was felt on the outside..

It's probably because I grew into a synab over time..

Whatever the reason, I don't think it's anything to worry about. If you level up a few more times in the future, all points will be applied..

And now, Ellen has become a full-fledged wizard who can handle a total of four spells, including ‘Flame Arrow’, ‘Burning Weapon’, ‘Wind Fist’, and ‘Cold Blow’..

22Thanks to his magic points reaching a point, his natural talent, and the training and knowledge he gained at La-Palais Palace, he quickly became accustomed to spells..

Hmm, guy. It has finally shed the stigma of being a wand stand. Of course I'm happy, but I feel sad inside. The taste of teasing was excellent..

I'm laughing heartily as I recall Ellen's prickly appearance..

“rain.”

Long eyelashes slowly crossed with a small voice..

The sapphire-like eyes were colored in the morning sunlight and took on a light gray color..

“Did you sleep well??”

“Uh oh—”

Ellen, who had been blinking blankly, was startled and quickly covered her face with her hands..

Then he immediately shook off the sleepiness that had been fluttering around his eyes and screamed..

“Well, what are you doing?!”

“If you scream in the morning, your neck will hurt.”

After listening to me, he coughed several times and cleared his throat..

“Big, big.”

“Wow, that's nice..”

“Why are you staring at other people’s faces this morning? You were surprised!”

I yawned and responded honestly to Ellen's progress..

“I was in a bad mood *sigh* because of the nightmare - but seeing your face put me at ease. So I was dazed for a while..”

“•••Well, what are you saying? Did you wake up late??”

The guy pulled up the blanket and covered his face, leaving only his dying voice behind..

“Want to sleep more? I have to get up soon.”

“Am I a kid? It will wake up on its own, so leave it alone..”

What are you saying? All I can hear is muttering through the blanket..

I left Ellen alone and put the breastplate and armor on my shoulders and then fastened the rings on my side..

Next, it was time to put on the shoulder armor and add shin guards to the leather boots and tighten the laces. Only then did he shakily stand up from his seat..

Ellen, who was brushing away her messy hair, glanced in my direction..

“•••I had a nightmare?”

“uh.”

“What kind of nightmare did you have??”

I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head..

“I don't know. I don't remember.”

“what? I don't even remember, how do I know it's a nightmare??”

“hmm. There is such a thing..”

I tightened the shin rest on the other side and continued speaking..

“A dream where I can’t remember the content, but the emotions remain..”

“What is that?.”

“I don't know either. I guess I had a dog dream because I changed my bed. Have you ever been like that??”

He writhed under his blanket and changed into a shirt instead of the tunic he had been wearing as pajamas..

Then he swept his hair out of his clothes and thought for a moment before answering..

“I don't know about dreams that only have emotions. I rarely dream because of meditation..”

“What does that mean? If you meditate you won't dream?”

“Meditation is the act of contemplating oneself. Dreams are a phenomenon that occurs when the unconscious seeps into consciousness. “When you meditate, the gap between the unconscious and conscious is reduced, so it is natural that you dream less.” •••Again, you are saying strange things about meditation and contemplation. Danworld, what is it??

“Isn’t that why you get tired from meditating and fall asleep??”

“•••let's just stop talking.”

The guy shook his head and unfolded his pants..

Hmm. Have you gotten used to that dismissive gaze now? I don't feel so bad.

“Slowly get out. I'll change my clothes.”

“Wait a minute. I need to wear a belt.”

At my answer, Ellen started grumbling for no reason..

“it's annoying. What is this every time? How long are you going to stick with me??”

•••I'm used to the looking down on them, but that pretty Malbon bird still can't get used to it..

“Why are you suddenly saying something different? When did I stick around??”

“I'm not saying anything - I'm just saying that sharing a room with you is uncomfortable.!”

Ha, if anyone hears it, they'll think I forced myself into my room..

“2“The floor was on fire, there wasn’t enough room, and accidents happened whenever we were apart, so we decided to stay together.” “But there’s no need to go this far..”

“Am I doing this for no reason? I'm not doing this because I'm worried about you?”

When Ellen pouted her lips instead of answering, I sighed and added,.

“ha. If you don't like it, you can sleep in Grania's room.?”

“•••How can you sleep with those mercenaries? I knew you must have harbored some kind of grudge.?”

“Why do they hold a grudge against you? Well, then Daria instead.,”

Before I could finish speaking, Ellen shouted loudly..

“Don’t even bring up the story about the cropper years! Why do you always bring up that bitch’s name??”

“Okay, okay. So what should I do? If it's inconvenient for the two of you, ask Luke to stay with you.,”

“no! I am born with a rotten corpse.!”

“Hey, don't be careful what you say?”

ha.

There are no angels if you just keep your mouth shut. When you open your mouth, it’s very spicy, spicy..

“Why are you being so mean to Mr. Luke??”

“Who dragged someone in without consulting them? Where did you bring a strange old man with you?,”

“stop! If you tell Luke that he's a corpse or an old man again, he'll get really angry.?”

“what?”

For a moment, Ellen's face distorted dynamically..

“Are you siding with that old man now??”

“I'm not taking sides. It means observing basic manners. And, I told you not to call me old man.?”

“What kind of courtesy is there for a guy who follows doctrines like Yeonggeummun??”

bloke? Is he really crazy?.

I paused for a moment, looking down at my anger. Is it possible that Yeonggeummun is not well-received in this world??

“What's wrong with Yeonggeummun??”

“Are you asking because you don’t know? Those who follow Yeonggeummun are all pessimists, steeped in the consciousness of the chosen people, and talk their mouths without any sense of responsibility. Moreover, they are the ones playing with corpses and casting ominous spells..”

“……Ellen snorted at my rebuttal that Mr. Luke is not a necromancer..

“It's just the church's stupid idea that it's okay as long as you don't deal with the undead. My body is seething with evil energy, but I’m not a necromancer.?”

Um, I didn't know I would hate it this much.…….

I'm not sure how to answer.

“Okay. Anyway, I've decided to accompany you for a while, so be careful what you say. If you talk to me, you'll find out, he's a really nice guy..”

“When did I meet you and say you were a good person??”

“You can find out if you just talk to me once..”

“aha.”

Ellen raised one eyebrow and nodded..

“Yeah, this is a newly recruited spell caster.?”

“what?”

“Hong, I'm so glad I discovered magic. I almost got treated like a burden!”

No, why are you talking like that all of a sudden? And I have to speak straight.

“It wasn't like I was treated like a piece of luggage, I was really a piece of luggage..”

“…I can hear everything?”

“I told you to listen.?”

“this-！”

The guy was so angry that he bit his lower lip. Then he jumped up, walked towards me, and kicked me hard in the shin..

“O>|”

I sat down and covered my feet..

I feel it again... This guy seems a bit stupid when he gets angry..

“You, you! how to me!”

“what. You're full?”

Hmm. Seeing you with tears in your eyes makes me feel at peace..

“The shin guards are worth the money. Well, I paid four silver coins, so I need to get this in order..”

“This idiot-”

“I'll go down first and wash up, so come down quickly..”

“I'm not going!”

Instead of answering, I left the room with only a sweet smile..

“hey!”

A sharp shout coming from behind.

An excited hum naturally flows out..
