A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

5 – I’m Groot (1)

There is an old saying. Seodang-gae also recites the Poongwol every three years.

It is in line with the saying that if you invest 10,000 hours in your work, you become an expert.

Even if it’s unintentional, it doesn’t matter. In an era where people are busy making a living, there are many people who somehow became experts.

It was no different from the wild, far from civilization. As I focused only on surviving, I became like this before I knew it.

I wonder if I’m the one who was struggling even with the hungry wolf. Even though it was a surprise just now, I killed a big bear in one hit.

‘So what are you doing?’

Cow!

Returned to the lair and cave and dropped the bear to the floor. Since it is so large, just putting it down makes the ground shake.

After that, I went inside the cave because I had something to check. As soon as I entered, I felt a cool feeling.

Originally, it was a cave with nothing in it, but over time it has been decorated to some extent.

The skulls of the animals that have been hunted so far are fixed on the walls, and the skins are thickly covered on the floor.

Innumerable lines are drawn on one wall. It shows how long you have been here.

At some point, I gave up on escaping, so I didn’t mark it anymore. If you just calculate what you can see roughly, it will be more than 3 years.

“It sucks.”

My heart is depressed, but there is no time for that. I had to check if someone broke in.

Once upon a time, I fell asleep, saying I was tired without knowing anything, and was attacked by poisonous insects. At that time, I thought I was really behind.

Fortunately, nothing was captured even when I closed my eyes and focused. It is a situation in which monsters and beasts, as well as insects, are not allowed to approach.

It must be someone with intelligence who can break through this. Like that goddamn porori.

‘Have you been quiet lately?’

After perfectly adapting to the wild, I invaded his territory whenever I was bored. I’ll never forget pooping on my face.

As a result, though, they remained as each other’s greatest rivals and nemesis. As I grew, he grew too.

I went out of the cave again after confirming that there was no sign of Porori’s intrusion.

No, to be precise, I was going out. Until I saw the painting inside the cave.

“··· ···”

It is a dark cave, but you can see it with excellent eyesight. There are ‘pictures’ painted on the walls deep inside.

As far as proper tools are concerned, there are only bones and stones, so they are at the level of children. I know what that means though.

A drawing of the future of this world in preparation for my escape. Painted to never forget.

The main character goes to the academy, faces all kinds of trials, and fights against the devil in the past.

I didn’t draw the ending. The ending was different at each turning point, so I didn’t feel the need to draw it.

Still, you can say that a happy ending would be better, but look at me now.

To see the ending is to the point where an asshole has to live here for the rest of his life.

“Whoa.”

I sighed in embarrassment. In my mind, I want to escape this place.

But I couldn’t do it my way. According to the setting, if you get lost once, you will become a castaway for the rest of your life in the forest.

As far as I remember, the compass doesn’t work because the mana is twisted here and there. Unless you have a special tool, you will always get lost.

‘But why did no one come during that time?’

The academy strictly warned me not to go in, but if you don’t do it, you’ll want to do it even more.

In fact, it is said that there are frequent cases where a few students enter and then barely escape or go missing completely.

Of course, there was never a single case where they came to the area where I live.

‘It’s up to you.’

I went outside, habitually stroking my beard that had grown to my chest.

It’s a beard grown like a viking, but it doesn’t matter that no one will see it. The hair that grows luxuriantly like a beard is a bonus.

Then they pushed the bear as hard as it could to dismantle it. When the belly is exposed, you get a sense of how big this guy is.

‘I haven’t eaten bear meat in a long time.’

After muttering that to himself, he stood on top of the bear’s belly and stretched out the index finger of his left hand.

Down!

Then, blood-red energy gushed from the tips of his fingers.

A red aura that spreads misfortune just by looking at it. It is “Magic power” That has been usable since some time ago.

As if it is not a fantasy world, there is an undistilled power called magical power, and the scale of power depends on how well you use that power.

Originally, you have to go through arduous training before you can barely learn how to use magic. But somehow I got it.

After overcoming the danger of dying several times, I wonder if it stimulated my instinct to live. I didn’t know this either.

‘Who was the person who used the red magic? I don’t even remember.’

Now I can’t even remember the details. Knowing nothing is useful.

I put my finger, which had red magic power, on the bear’s chest. And then stabbed deep into the thick hide.

Boo Woowook-

Leather that cuts so easily when you move your hand in that state. This is why I don’t use tools.

Magic is more convenient than using unpolished bones or stones.

Anyway, the surplus is magic. Even if you use it all day, you will recover quickly if you eat well.

Seopteol- Seotteol- Seotteol-

It didn’t take long to dismantle the bear, perhaps thanks to the skilled craftsmanship. Starting today, I decided on this leather for the floor.

The organs were discarded except for the heart, lungs and liver. You don’t even know what’s inside, so you don’t have to eat it.

The reason for eating these is simple. As a result of eating all of them so far, those three are excellent for mana recovery.

It’s a fact that I realized firsthand, regardless of whether it’s a deceased person.

“Cancer.”

Puak!

And it is effective if eaten raw. I took a big bite into the bear’s heart.

All blood was removed before eating. So you don’t have to worry about blood splashing on your face.

Even if blood splatters on your face, just go to the stream and wipe it off.

Jilgung- Jilgung- Jilgung-

The taste of chewy heart is excellent. Eating like this reminded me of the first time I ate a heart.

The recovery of the left arm took longer than expected, and there was a limit to satisfying hunger with only insects.

In the end, like primitive people, they had no choice but to subsist on animal corpses. The part eaten at that time was the heart.

I know I barely suppressed the fact that I was about to vomit. I wasn’t worried about parasites.

f*ck. It’s on the verge of starvation, but it’s a parasite and I have to put it in my mouth. If you care about that, I’m already dead.

“Damn it.”

Because he is so big, he is full even if he only eats the intestines. It is very hydrating, so there is no need to drink water separately.

After I finished eating, I dismantled the edible part. The weather is a bit humid and the temperature is high, so you need to dry it.

That means it has to be smoked. I knew this would happen and prepared everything in advance.

Doesn’t another beast smell and come? Don’t worry about that.

Most monsters and beasts know that this area is my territory.

The moment someone intrudes, we will immediately punish. Then it would be a great source of protein.

f*ck!

I snapped my fingers on the dry firewood. The firewood was ignited thanks to a small spark.

You don’t have to go through all sorts of hardships to start a fire anymore. You can light a fire with just a snap of your fingers.

Of course, it is not easy to do. No, it’s the result of hard work to kindle a fire somehow.

Morak- Morak-

Large slices of meat are cooked through the smoke. It will probably take an hour or more.

There is nothing to do in the meantime, I raised my head to grasp my condition after a long time.

After a long time passed, his stats went up a lot. As I remember, 140 is the high standard in Soul World.

120 Can be filmed if you put in the time, and 130 can be done by wandering around the world.

However, hell begins at 140, and 150 is a stat that can only be seen by the top-tier players.

Finally, it is better to completely give up 160. Even with 150, it’s overflowing, but it’s overexertion.

Also, my first stats were all 10, and one could say that power inflation is too severe, but it is not inflation.

If you can penetrate all the strategies, you can get 120 at the academy. I just got stronger because I survived.

If you choose a different birth, it usually starts at 50. I was 10 because I had nothing.

‘Isn’t it bare-handed?’

I’m glad I gave you a mat. If it hadn’t been for that, there would have been tears.

Anyway, as you can see from my stats, one piece of hardware is extremely high. As I survived every day, I became so high.

Let’s get past the 0 faith stat. I prayed every day and cursed God.

That’s why faith has no choice but to hit the bottom. It’s strange that I didn’t take a minus.

‘Characteristics are more important than physical abilities…’

I still don’t know the effect of the first attribute, ‘Wild Instinct’.

There are characteristics that make the five senses outstanding, but wild instincts seem to be different.

Sometimes I feel uneasy while going, but if I just avoid it, at least I won’t get hurt.

The rest of the attributes are acquired while surviving. Most of the time, I like the unique characteristics or the ‘wide width’.

‘Have you lost your reason…’

A characteristic that only high-ranking monsters have, berserk.

As you can see from the name, it is a characteristic that completely loses reason and goes wild when certain conditions are met.

In my case, it’s when I’m almost out of stamina, that is, when I’m in a crisis due to hunting or ambushed.

Normally, I would calmly get out of a crisis, but I don’t have that. He immediately lost his temper and smashed everything.

When you come to your senses after the light width is released, the surroundings are in ruins. It’s a bonus that his stamina and mana are on the verge of hitting rock bottom.

Because I used to shine so much in the past, I’ve taken it to the highest level. Fortunately, since the ‘Guts’ trait was created, it has been blocking the berserk.

‘Being a madman also means that there are no answers.’

I took my eyes off the wide beam and looked at the other properties.

‘Iron King’ is similar to ‘Geumgang Buddha’ but different. If Vajra Buddha is what makes the body hard, Steel King is an attribute that even recovers quickly.

‘Poison resistance’, as the name suggests, is the development of resistance to medicines and poisons, and ‘digestion’ helps me replace the food I ate with energy.

Finally, ‘dexterity’. Living in the forest, I have no choice but to work mostly with my own hands. This is also a natural trait.

‘Technology is inevitable.’

The most important thing was technology, but there are only two. It was a forest with only a stone ax or a stone spear as a proper weapon.

Even that is meaningless because I made it by hand. All of them are specific to ‘hunting’.

There are a lot of guys with sensitive senses, so I got ‘Ambush’ after killing a presence.

[Throwing] Learned to kill a guy running away after failing in an ambush.

There was no problem surviving with just the two of them. There are many cases where he fights with his bare hands, just like he used magic to cut leather.

‘Red magic was at its maximum as soon as it was acquired.’

It’s been like this since the first time I realized my magical power. For reference, normal people’s magical power is blue, and demons and demons are different depending on their rank.

I had never heard of magic being red. Again, I can’t remember much except for the big ones.

Fortunately, I didn’t forget the important things thanks to the pictures I drew.

If you don’t leave this place, everything is useless.

‘It’s nice to have playback.’

Play literally means play. The ability to quickly heal injured areas.

Even if you succeed in hunting, there is no answer if you are seriously injured. At one point, all of his limbs were broken while fighting Porori.

If I hadn’t obtained it then, I would have died or been crippled. Perhaps someone here has a question.

Isn’t regeneration supposed to be a trait, not an ability? What is the difference between a trait and an ability?

To put it simply, they are passive and active. Attributes should be used on their own, and abilities should be controlled by myself.

‘It would be really nice if the wide width could be transferred to the ability.’

That’s why I’m treating the wide width embedded in my characteristic as a nuisance. It’s good, but it’s too risky.

I don’t know how many more I’ll get in the future, but I think this is my upper limit.

There is only one way to grow further: hunting Porori or getting out of here. I’m trying, but neither is easy.

‘Was it like that in the game?’

Since he was the mascot of Soul World, there must have been something more. If that’s not the case, then it doesn’t make sense.

While fighting him, I also grew up. Instead, it has been quiet and lulled recently.

He came to my cave on fictitious days except for hibernation to poop. But it was quiet, so I wondered what was going on.

‘If it was something like that, I would have recognized it first.’

If a new predator appeared, ‘wild instinct’ would have detected it. But lately it’s been quiet.

I thought about porori, but I didn’t forget the smoked meat.

It’s Pororigo Nabal, and meat is more important. Slowly ripens

I was just about to take a bite of that nicely browned smoked bear meat.

Food Deuk!

In the distance, I heard the sound of birds taking off vigorously. It’s quite a distance, but I sensed it with excellent hearing.

It is rare for birds accustomed to the forest to show such a reaction. I need to ‘stimulate’ something.

‘Did a monster appear?’

[Kwoaaa!!]

As soon as I thought that, a loud roar resounded throughout the forest. It’s big enough to make an echo.

I was about to take a bite of the bear meat, but I put it down again. This forest has many monsters as well as beasts.

In fact, classifying beasts and monsters is meaningless. At least in this forest.

Still, it’s annoying if left unattended, so I think it’s better to deal with it roughly.

Looking at his roaring voice, it must be an adult, not a young individual.

[Kyaaa!!]

Look at that. One throat is good…

“······· Huh?”

I blinked and looked in the direction of the sound.

That’s not the sound a monster makes. That’s not a roar, it’s a scream.

A 100% pure scream with no wild feeling.

That, too, is a human scream.

‘What is it?’

I got up from my seat in urgency, clutching a stone ax that was still covered in blood.

The sound of a scream that blows a small spark into the dying hope.

‘Really?’

I made my way through the woods with expectations and doubts at the same time.
