My Two Status Windows – 13
by Jessie@AFNCC
<My 2 status windows – Episode 13>
12. Class D promotion match (2)
6th Class D Promotion Test.
Korea region field 3.
There are 100 awakened people selected per field.
Shuuuuu.
The entire body glows red within the orange translucent shield.
Falling straight from the sky to the ground.
In the broadcast I watched on YouTube it looked like a shooting star.
All 100 awakened people fall to the ground like meteors from the sky.
All locations are random.
The area is limited.
Inside the walls of Rayark Mountain Fortress.
[If you’re reading this you’ve probably reached level 25. First of all I salute you for reaching level 25 despite being a NOVICE. It must not have been an easy road.]
I remember the phrase from the strategy book.
The strategy book has finally been updated.
[But the biggest challenge remains. Before promotion. The difficulty level is close to impossible. However on May 1st the system changes. Novices compete against each other for promotion.]
My eyes widened at this phrase in the strategy book.
If it’s a promotion battle between novices you can honestly aim for first place.
But it’s May 1st.
It’s too far.
It’s September 1st and I have to be stuck at level 25 for 8 months?
It couldn’t be like that.
I decided to just give it a try and continued reading the book.
[Even if novices fight each other we must not let down our guard. Originally the battle for shit was the most intense. In addition there are many people who have reached level 25 as a novice and have a basic ability level of F+ or higher. No matter how much I train alone it’s not easy.]
okay. They also said that the stats should be equalized so honestly even if it was a novice match the abilities would be in the lower tier.

If there was only one status window as before…
thud!
falls to the ground
There is no shock.
As soon as I stepped on my feet I opened my mouth.
“Mini map.”
A map unfolds before your eyes.
New abilities gained while playing ranked battles.
You can view the map like a game.
A mini-map that looks like a radar map with the terrain displayed.
Above it is written that 100 people survived.
According to the minimap I was in the area east of the southern wall.
Rayark Mountain Fortress is a fortress located between canyons.
Southern Wall Northern Wall.
It is a canyon fortress that only needs to be blocked from two directions.
However the southern and northern walls were on the verge of being taken over by the Orc army.
This is a battlefield where human soldiers run away in panic and an orc army encircles and advances between the collapsed castle walls.
There are two goals that an awakened person who enters this battlefield must achieve.
1. Become one of the last 20 survivors.
2. Increase 5 kill points.
If you do either one you are guaranteed a promotion.
Kill points are 1 for killing an awakened person and 0.01 for killing a human or orc.
In the end it is a game where awakened people fight each other.
I wonder if I can survive by hiding without fighting but the location of the awakened person is shown on the mini map.
There a white light came down from the sky and illuminated the awakened person like a spotlight.
There is no condition to hide.
However the strategy book told a different story.
[It became known later but there is a point where you can hide. The location is….]
Northeast Northwest Southeast Southwest Region.
Broadly divided awakened people fall into these four regions.
The strategy book describes all the hiding points in these four areas.
There is only one hiding point in the southeast.
By a dry well.
If you go a little bit inside the castle walls there is a well.
When you go inside there is another cave dug inside but it is said that the orcs do not enter.
[The awakened people know I’m there because of the light but the Orc army will soon take over so even if they know they can’t come to kill me. If you get caught in the southeast quickly get into the well and wait. After an hour or two it will be sorted out and you can upgrade your level.]
The strategy book also said that this fact would gradually spread so we should play a ranked game as soon as possible.
Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B
[If you rank in the top 20 with 5 kills you get a stat point bonus of 3 but it’s better to just give that up.]
I would have done that even if I hadn’t seen this story.
But now that I see this I have one more option.
I took out the bow on my back and fired an arrow at the string.
The target is the hunter with the light shining ahead.
I haven’t figured this out yet.
Peeeeeeee.
“Tsk!”
An arrow that goes straight into the neck.
The awakened person falls down while clutching the arrow not knowing what to do.
I watched to see if I should kill him but…
[You have obtained 1 kill point. – Current kill points: 1]
It looks like he’s dead.
The fallen body disappears into the light.
Was he a wizard rather than a warrior?
I didn’t know you’d die in one hit.
It was my first time killing someone but I didn’t feel any emotion perhaps because I knew they would survive after the test anyway.
When I open the map again it says ‘Survivor 91’.
In that short period of time 9 people have already died.
There were several red dots the size of checkerboard to the north and two red dots south of me but they disappeared in real time.
Seeing two dots disappear at the same time gives the feeling of being swept away by an army of orcs.
If the two fought and one won only one would disappear.
Let’s go up first.
The mini-map could be zoomed out and kept in view.
I had to figure out the enemy’s location so I launched it and ran with all my might.
Now the speed is far beyond that of humans.
My goal is to get to the well after 5 kills.
4 kills left.
A burning castle.
Bodies of humans and orcs lying here and there.
The sound of the surviving human survivor unit and the Orc advance guard colliding turns the battlefield.
But there was no interest there.
You have to catch 100 people to get 1 point so is there any need to do such a foolish thing?
My goal was just the point where the two red dots met.
Soon the two awakened people reached the point where they faced each other.
“Shield Charge!”
When the awakened warrior holding a sword and shield shouts the skill name the shield grows larger and attacks the opponent. Just before the shield hits the opponent that side also shouts out a skill.
“Shadow Strike!”
When I heard the voice it was a woman.
This is an assassin class who holds a dagger in both hands and wears leather armor.
bang!
An assassin who gets hit by a shield charge and goes straight down.
However not even the warrior was safe.
Because his shadow suddenly rose and stabbed him in the back from behind.
I think that’s the assassin skill Shadow Strike.
“Ugh…!”
haha. What a great situation. Good luck too.
He fired an arrow at the fallen assassin and ran to the warrior who sat down for a moment.
“Fireball.”
“What… what!”
Kwakwakwak!
The fallen warrior raises his shield again but the fireball has already hit the ground and exploded.
When the explosion stops the lower body is charred black and the whole body is on fire.
“Aaaah!!”
I wouldn’t be able to survive at that level.
Rather than making a confirmed kill he rushed towards the assassin in order to kill him as well.
Unfortunately the arrow fired earlier hit his arm.
She was wearing a mask and was moaning while clutching her right arm.
“Oh it hurts…”
“Ice Arrow.”
I fired an ice arrow capable of quick start at her.
An assassin who strikes it down with a dagger in his left hand.
It looks like all the strands up to level 25 have disappeared.
Then I have to end it with the sword.
He charged in with both hands holding a sword.
Just as he was about to strike the dagger away and stab her she suddenly took off her mask.
A woman with a certain beauty hurriedly opens her mouth.
“Ji Ji-ho. it’s me. “Jihyun.”
who is this. Jihyun.
ah. Is this Anne you saw on the bus first?
But what should I do?
Without even responding I stabbed him with the sword.
Sigh!
“Work together….”
It sounds like cooperation.
My vision was red for a moment and the back of my neck felt stinging.
Sign of danger detection skill.
If I had stopped for a moment I might have been hit by the Shadow Strike skill.
Jihyeon who was looking at me with resentful eyes collapsed and her body disappeared.
[You have obtained 1 kill point. – Current kill points: 2]
[You have obtained 1 kill point. – Current kill points: 3]
When I looked behind me the burning corpse of the warrior was also gone.
Was the death time similar?
Now that I think about it he’s the same jockey as me. How can he already be in the promotion match?
I reached level 25 20 days ago with double experience and solo play but… I don’t think there would have been anything like that.
I thought she was trying to be a parasite to a man with great abilities but she turned out to be a woman with great grit.
The number of survivors shown on the map is now 79.
In just a few minutes 21 people were already dead.
There were no awakened people around me on the mini map right now.
I’ll be at the well in just a little while…
If you get 2 more kills in the central area and come back the well will be littered with orcs.
I was thinking about just hiding safely now but I couldn’t give up 3 stat points.
In my case I get double the amount.
Since you are now level 20 one stat point is given per level 2 but you need to level up 6 to receive 3 stat points.
You can’t miss it.
I thought back to the strategy book.
[If you fall near the center you may not be able to enter the recommended point. Then going to the magic watchtower in the central area has the highest chance of survival. The entrance to this watchtower is locked with a magic lock and the password is 6976.]
Magic Watchtower….
I saw it on a live broadcast last time.
A 10-meter-high stone watchtower overlooking the southern castle wall.
It was locked with a magic lock so an awakened person tried to break it in but was unable to do so and was killed by an army of orcs.
[But after going to the watchtower you have to act like a dead rat. If you shoot an arrow there for no reason the orc shaman will destroy it with magic. When you close the door again the magic lock will automatically lock the door so don’t just stand on the watchtower but stay underneath.]
Then it would be perfect to kill the two awakened people on the way and enter the watchtower.
I continued running while looking closely at the map.
When your body is flying quickly.
My vision turns bright red and the center of my chest burns.
shit. I’m taking a leap.
shield.
Unleash defensive magic and prepare with a two-handed sword.
Soon a spear was seen flying.
The momentum cutting through the wind is strong.
The awakened javelin!
visor!
The shield upgraded to Circle 2 breaks and collides with the sword.
The upgraded shield was useful and blocked attacks well.
But the run had no choice but to stop.
Is it fortunate that I landed without much impact?
When I looked at the radar I saw a red dot that had not been displayed until a moment ago.
Were you hiding?
Do you have any items to avoid the radar?
“He’s got a bit of talent.”
A male warrior suddenly appears holding a long spear.
The armor Kang Sia is wearing is similar to the one she wore.
You can also catch a glimpse of an elf uniform inside.
There are five javelins stuck on his back.
and.
I can feel the scent of damn money.
“Lightning Bolt!”
Let’s fire a 2-circle lightning spell.
Even before it touches his body the magic is absorbed into one part of his armor.
What is that? It’s a fucking scam.
“Fireball.”
As he slowly narrowed the distance I used magic again.
The best attack magic I can use.
However this time the magic was divided into single rays of flame and absorbed into the jewel parts of his armor.
He tried to swing his spear to block the fireball but stopped and soon regained his composure.
“It’s definitely worth the money spent.”
and! “Tempal.”
“It’s natural in a capitalist society. Lance Charge!”
The image of an enemy far away is enlarged as if it were a close-up.
A spear that strikes in a straight line.
Is this close combat?
Wear a shield and avoid skills.
At the same time he slashes with both hands.
Does the Lance Charge skill also increase agility?
As he was shooting out like a bullet he turned his body and blocked my attack with his spear.
bang!
The sound of the sword and spear is like a bomb.
“You bastard. Wasn’t he a wizard?!”
An enemy that immediately increases distance.
I approach the window trying not to give space to it.
10 sums are exchanged in an instant.
“Whoa….”
“You’re pretty good at it.”
Take a moment to catch your breath and close the distance again.
He tries to open the distance and I keep charging in.
Each other’s attacks pass by our bodies but my attack cannot pierce the armor and his attack stops at the shield.
Dozens of sums are exchanged without any effective hits.
“Lance Charge!”
shield.
A skill that comes from close range.
The window expands instantly.
However the shield blocks it for a while so you can easily avoid it!
Cheeeeeek!
fast.
My cheek is torn and blood splatters.
Tsk. This is my first time seeing blood here.
But my sword wasn’t idle either.
“Tsk!”
A sword passes by his right forearm.
A normal weapon would have been blocked by armor but this expensive two-handed weapon was worth the money.
“Tch. “What are you doing!”
The warrior widens the distance again and glares at me.
The moment you try to close the distance again….
thud! thud! thud!
The drums of the Orc Legion military band can be heard from afar.
for a moment. “Let’s stop.”
He swung his spear sharply and stepped back a long way.
I also stood there holding my sword.
We both knew each other.
If we continue to fight like this we will not be able to win and will encounter an army of orcs.
“I’ll be killed by the Orc army before we win the match.”
okay.
“Let’s just go our separate ways. “You and I will both be in the top twenty anyway.”
i get it. “I’m going this way.”
He nodded when I pointed in the direction of the watchtower.
“Then I’ll go over there. But where did you get that sword?”
“Did you receive it?”
“To whom?”
“To a pretty girl.”
At those words the guy glared at me for a moment and then turned around.
i get it. “I don’t have time now so I’ll ask later.”
At the same time the warrior runs step by step as if he were flying.
There was something suspicious about recognizing the sword but…
Well I think I saw it in a market used by rich people.
I kept my guard up and headed toward the watchtower.
