The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

006. Winter’s Core (2)

Hermit’s necklace.

It’s an artifact that lets you avoid wild animals, and I bought it from the Academy Shop.

Of course, it is disposable.

You can’t fool the eyes of monsters like goblins and trolls, but you can avoid the eyes of animals and move.

Duration is approximately one week.

Without it, I wouldn’t have dared to climb the mountain.

I lit a flame in my hand once more.

Again, I was surprised that this was possible.

I knew instinctively what I was capable of.

Sub-elemental magic.

Swordsmanship, spearmanship, horsemanship, and martial arts.

well that’s all

It’s amazing that I got accepted into Nadia Academy.

oh

In fact, maybe the academy is going through financial difficulties.

Maybe that’s why they accept everything if you just pay the tuition.

Or maybe Ethan was stuck with some kind of strange archetype.

All reasonable doubts.

In the first place, I did not directly check the competition rate.

A guy named Ethan did it before I knew whether I was possessed or a previous life. How would I know that?

In the novel, Arthur checks his level in real time with his skill window.

After all, the damn author said that novels are the world inside games.

Like a game, once you acquire a skill, you can use it freely.

As long as it becomes magic, of course.

I went and sat down on a rock to soothe my mind and body. Then he took the jerky out of his bag and chewed on it.

“under…”

I was getting tired of eating only beef jerky throughout the hike.

My throat was blocked, so I took out a canteen and drank it.

I came to my senses when the cold water wet my esophagus.

“It’s all emptied now.”

The canteen ran out of water, and the trees had changed from broad-leaved trees to conifers from yesterday.

The trail had already been cut off.

Wherever I looked, the snow piled up in white clothes was welcoming me.

I squeezed my eyes into the canteen. It was intended to melt the snow in the canteen with flame magic.

sigh-

He lit a small fire in his hand.

At times like this, it was convenient that the water bottle was made of steel.

I took out a mana potion and mixed it a little.

Mana potions are expensive and cannot be used often, but this way you can recover a small amount of mana while drinking water.

It was what adventurers did in the novel.

“Is it really possible to find it?”

Since I was alone, my self-talk increased naturally.

And the second day of hiking was not worth it.

The head was in a state of rice cake.

He looked like a beggar because he couldn’t even wash his face properly.

If anyone sees it, they’ll think they’re practicing in the mountains.

“Eh-”

all sighs came out

Oxygen was scarce, probably because it was nearing the top.

Why am I filming a survival here?

is not it.

Is it a mountain documentary because you are climbing a mountain?

I saw a wide open uphill.

It’s a waste to come up so far.

So I have no choice but to keep climbing.

Because this mountain is the highest of the mountain range.

Why did the damned writer hide it on the top of a mountain even if he had to hide his talent?

It is an insult to come to this world.

What is reduced is my lifespan.

* * *

10 days left until admission.

Sepia sat blankly on her bed in the dormitory.

Ethan has been weird these days.

Originally, he wasn’t a cool guy.

‘Originally, I didn’t intentionally please.’

He didn’t pay attention to himself like the other users.

Still, he kept his line.

So, among the users, I liked it.

And there… . Could it be that I forgot? not. It couldn’t have been.

But lately, he has acted like a rebel child.

It was as if he had forgotten his identity.

Do you really think you entered the academy on your own?

To be honest, Sepia knew he would fail the entrance exam.

I don’t even know the subject.

I thought so. So I made a promise.

that it will fall I will pay for the tuition fee if I am accepted.

But the guy confidently passed and came back.

Of course you would have been lucky.

Even if you pass with a chin-up, you are lucky.

Nea is the best academy in the empire.

It’s been weird since I passed.

A short sigh came out.

Sepia fiddled with the crystal ball for nothing.

There is still a long way to go before admission.

‘Should I call Ethan?’

What do you mean by calling?

walk? chat? sword fighting? didn’t like it all

Ethan is a servant and just an object for his pastime. It had to be.

Sepia didn’t like anyone touching her.

It was the same when Anya said she would sit in the driver’s seat.

It was better to share the carriage with Anya than to have Anya and Ethan next to each other.

That was the reason I sat in the coach seat with Anya.

Sepia got up from her seat and wandered around the room for no reason.

‘If you don’t like it, kick it out of the family and that’s it.’

As Nea was the best educational institution in the empire, the tuition was expensive.

Ethan, who was a mere servant, could not afford his education with the salary he received.

Even those who entered the school with the symbol of a candidate for bravery received a tuition fee if they received a failing grade. If you fail more than 2 times there, you will be expelled.

It was impossible to win a scholarship with Edan’s skills.

In other words, without Ethan’s help, he couldn’t even pay the tuition for the second semester.

‘Because I don’t like it these days. It also helps me understand the subject… .’

It didn’t seem too bad.

Sepia already remembered Ethan kneeling down and praying to her.

‘sorry. I guess I’m a little crazy. sepia girl. My only place to stay is the Logness family. Please don’t throw me away.’

If you pray like that, what did you do wrong, you should shoot me.

Recalling that scene, Sepia smiled with satisfaction.

to never climb again… .

You have to accept the promise.

* * *

“ah! Still, it’s nice to not see Sepia’s nervousness!”

I breathed in the cold air and hurrahed.

I never thought the uniform’s automatic temperature control would be so effective.

Obviously, the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature.

However, the sense of the season is just autumn.

Technically, it was early fall.

by the way.

No traces of animal footprints or habitats have been found.

It was an area not marked on the map.

It meant that there was not much left to the top of the mountain.

How many more mountains did you climb?

I had a sudden thought.

“Is it real?”

I chewed on the beef jerky and walked away.

Voila!

In fact, the novel’s world view has changed, so there is no such thing as a ‘winter core’.

If I faced a situation like that, I really don’t know what would happen to me.

Will my mentality be able to withstand it?

I’m going to have a quick suicide ending because I’m going to have a good time.

Why don’t you say something like that?

When you hear that a nuke is falling on the city, run towards it. Don’t live vaguely for nothing, but go quickly and comfortably.

Of course, the worldview of the novel has not changed much so far.

It wasn’t that I had been possessed and had been engrossed for three days.

I was looking for history books or maps.

I closed my mouth and took a breath through my nose.

Concealment came out on its own.

I don’t know how long I walked after that.

And finally!

I was able to reach the top of the mountain range.

I was about to shed tears.

“Ah, finally! Normal, normal!”

When everything arrived, I was energized.

He must be the world’s first climber.

It was in the 20th century that mankind first conquered Everest.

Even in a different world that is said to be overflowing with adventurers, he doesn’t dare to go hiking. During that time, even monsters will be defeated.

I walked to the middle of the mountain.

And I was able to face it.

The white crystal placed on the altar.

A crystal that shines sadly and forlornly.

It was as described in the novel.

Ice crystals shining white.

It was square like a sugar cube, but when swallowed, it gained tremendous magical power and acquired resistance to fire and ice at the same time.

So even with Arthur’s fire magic, Elzac was fine.

And Elzac was a troublemaker like a talkative villain.

‘Mmm hahahaha-! I have resistance to both ice and fire… .’

Why are you saying that with your own mouth?

I wonder if it might have eaten the core of winter and collapsed together with Neungji.

As expected, the probable serial traffic accident was a nuclear landmine operation, ‘The Strongest Dragon’.

I packed the winter hacks and put them in my bag.

I also wanted to take it right here.

But take it here?

At such moments, the ice caps of the winter mountains melt at once.

And I’ll just be buried in an avalanche.

Game over as it is.

Because it can’t be like that.

I have to take good care of it.

That was the reason why the scramble for the core of winter broke out at Elzac’s party. The magician of the party said that an avalanche would occur if they ate Winter’s Core, and in the end, Elzac’s party descended the mountain with Winter’s Core.

After that, a scramble to kill each other took place.

So I climbed the mountain and headed to Herbeiaban again.

It took two full days to go down.

When they found a rock, they sat down and rested, and when they found a cave, they slept.

And finally, the descent is over.

I decided to eat this tear-stained gift in front of the temple in the village.

Fortunately, there were several priests in front of the temple.

Why am I consuming Giyeon in a place where there are so many priests?

It’s because when you read a novel, you eat a lot and roll on the floor on a fictional day. The main character collapses in a cold sweat in pain because of the sudden influx of energy, which is a huge amount of mana in the body.

A so-called stun event.

I wished I had walked for three days.

The stun event is a specification.

Still, a stun event will happen by any chance?

Then the priests in this temple have to come running and hit me with heels.

The preparations are over.

I took Winter’s kernel out of my pocket and swallowed it.
