“Huaam~”
After selling all the items I acquired from the battle with the Dawn’s Light Guild yesterday in the early morning, I logged out of Twilight with a logout message and fell asleep. I think I slept past 2 AM? Despite sleeping at that hour, the current time was pointing to 10 AM.
‘Still, it’s better than yesterday.’
As expected, when I played without using Intuition, the mishap of my whole body being drenched in sweat didn’t occur. Thanks to that, I was able to figure out that Intuition was the cause, but my worries only deepened.
‘I need Intuition to earn money in Twilight.’
What should I do?
But my worries didn’t last long. I got up and moved my body to shake off the remaining fatigue. Even simple stretching like this helped me recover from fatigue to some extent.
For now, since there’s no solution, I’ll put aside my worries about Intuition……
“I hope today is a jackpot like yesterday.”
From the Dorgen quest I did in the morning to cleaning out the Dawn’s Light Guild. I never thought I’d hit such a jackpot just two days after starting the game.
In addition.
“The items I put up for auction were sold properly too.”
After a fierce battle with the Dawn’s Light Guild, I sold all the items I acquired from them and the items I already had to other players. Of course, excluding expensive items like the Bloody Earring and the Silver-Plated Longsword.
Anyway, excluding those, weapons and armor were sold for 37 silver, accessories for 34 silver, and the money I earned from that was a whopping 76 silver.
Also, while working in the mine after selling all the items, I was able to see the results of the items I had put up for auction.
To summarize without going into too much detail……
Zeld’s Staff: 156,000 won.
E-rank Skill Wolf Summon: 194,000 won.
Five Longswords: 300,000 won.
A total of 650,000 won. No, 520,000 won, excluding the 20% commission, was deposited into my account. Even so, earning this much money just two days after starting the game was unexpected, even for me.
Especially since I didn’t even sell any enhancement items.
“I hope the items I listed this time sell well too.”
Encouraged by the auction results, I ended up putting the Bloody Wolf’s Dagger and the Silver-Plated Longsword up for auction. Since I listed them as soon as I returned to the village, I could see the results as soon as I logged into Twilight.
‘I’m a little anxious since it’s the third day.’
The items I listed are all Magic-grade, but it wouldn’t be strange if a large number of the same items were released around this time. Still, I lowered the starting price, so I thought they would definitely sell, and headed to the bathroom.
First, I need to wash up.
After a quick wash and a meal, I searched the internet for new information. Perhaps because it was the third day, the bulletin boards were filled with a lot of, or rather, useful information.
Among them, let’s take a look at a few……
[Tips on Penetration Damage!]
[Content: As you all know, this game doesn’t have critical hits, but instead has penetration damage. Here are some tips regarding penetration damage. The commonly used Longsword has a penetration point of 25p (points). This means that there’s a 25% chance of penetration when you stab.
However, creatures like Goblins and Wolves have a leather that has 5p penetration defense, meaning there’s a 20% chance of penetration with a Longsword.
Here, the Dagger has a whopping 50p penetration point. So, there’s a 50% chance of penetration. Also, if you learn a skill related to the Dagger, the penetration probability of that skill also increases, meaning there’s a more than 50% chance of penetration damage.
So, everyone, raise your characters with Daggers. Daggers are the best.]
“Penetration points?”
Did this even exist? The item description didn’t mention anything about penetration points. But how did this guy find out?
“Since I’m using a Longsword, that means the penetration point is 25p.”
Did I sell the Dagger for nothing? I put it up for auction because it didn’t feel right in my hand, but seeing this post made me feel like I made a mistake.
But there’s nothing I can do about it now that it’s sold……
“……”
Well, I’ll worry about this later.

[About the Bounty System.]
[Content: There are a lot of people on the bulletin board who are upset about dying. In that case, tell the guard in the village that you died. Then the guard will put the player who killed you on the wanted list. Then, if you ask if there are any wanted criminals, they’ll give you something like a quest, and if you accept that quest, the locations of all the wanted criminals will appear on the map.
So, stop killing people! Unless you want to be robbed after dying!!]
‘It’s marked on the map?’
Then what happens if you catch a wanted criminal? Do you get a reward?
“I’ll have to try this when I get a chance.”
Looking at the next post.
[Difficulty Increase Based on Fame.]
[Content: There’s a trap in the quests given by the Quest Guild. Even if you accept the same F-rank quest, some are difficult and others are easy. But you can tell by checking the fame. The highest fame given among F-rank quests is 30. And this fame of 30 is the difficulty. In other words, fame 30 is the most difficult among F-rank quests. If you understand, accept quests that give you a moderate amount of fame.]
“Fame? How much did Dorgen give me……”
I think it was 30? According to this post, I cleared the highest difficulty of F-rank. No wonder it was so difficult back then. Of course, it wouldn’t be a problem now.
Dorgen is nothing.
[Disadvantages of Passive Skills!]
[Content: Passive skills are 10 times harder to level up than regular skills! Wow! What the hell is this? Anyway, passive skills are not really good, so don’t learn them.]
[If you find combat difficult, go to the training ground.]
[Content: Do you think someone who has never swung a wooden stick in their life will be good at fighting just because they pick up a sword? Absolutely not. But this Random Skillbook doesn’t even give you the skill you want, does it? I understand. Yesterday, some guy was messing around with a bow and put us in danger several times, but I still understand. I understand, but please go to the training ground and learn how to handle weapons. Just ask any NPC wandering around the village where the training ground is, and they’ll kindly tell you.]
[The Random Skillbook given at the beginning has been patched!]
[Content: I checked the Cash Transaction Window in the early morning and saw that the price of the Random Skillbook, which was 400,000~500,000 won, had jumped to 1,200,000 won. I checked and it turns out the Random Skillbook given at the beginning has been changed from ‘tradable’ to ‘untradable’ due to a patch. The company made the Random Skillbook, which was tradable until yesterday, untradable as of midnight today.
Of course, all the Random Skillbooks listed on the auction house were returned……
However, seeing as there are still Random Skillbooks on the Cash Transaction Window, it seems that skillbooks acquired from monsters or achievements are still tradable.]
“Huh? A patch?!”
So, does that mean you can’t get Random Skillbooks anymore?
It’s not really a problem. I think it’s better to hunt monsters and get them myself rather than buying them from the Cash Transaction Window, so it’s not information I need to worry about.
But……
“It’s a shame. I should have bought a few if I knew this would happen.”
Well, there’s no use regretting what’s already happened.
More importantly, did it say the price of the Random Skillbook jumped to 1,200,000 won? The Random Skillbooks I have now were acquired through achievements. If I could sell them, that would mean I could sell each one for 1,200,000 won.
‘I don’t have the slightest intention of selling them though.’
Was that too obvious?
“Huh? What’s this?”
Just as I was about to click on the next post, a post with a title that caught my eye suddenly appeared.
[That guy called Rudin is definitely a bug abuser!]
‘Is it the guy I killed?’
Curious, I clicked on it.
[Content: I fought a guy with the ID Rudin who attacked our guild, and my damage only dealt 1. What the f***, if this isn’t a bug, then what is it? When I use skills, my damage is around 160!]
“It’s definitely the guy I killed.”
And seeing the word ‘guild’, it seems to be the Dawn’s Light Guild from yesterday. How frustrated must he have been to post this here? Of course, I didn’t really care even if he posted something like this, but I was curious about the comments below.
Do people think it’s a bug?
Reading the comments, there were comments like, ‘You got robbed lol’, ‘I died because of your guild too!’, or ‘That guy called Rudin is amazing.’ It seems like I can just ignore them?
However, comments like, ‘Was there a bug in this game?’, ‘Wouldn’t they give a reward if you report it?’, ‘I honestly can’t believe his defense is over 160.’ were somehow bothering me.
Hmm, they won’t actually report it, will they?
“……Well, it’s not a bug.”
At the same time, I thought that this was also my fault. Is this the price of the profit I made yesterday? I definitely made a good profit, but.
“……”
Still, it would be better to restrain myself.
‘Restrain myself……’
Oh well, let’s just log in.
There’s nothing I can do about the water that’s already been spilled. And what can I do if they report me? I only used Intuition, I didn’t use any bugs. If Intuition was a bug, wouldn’t my account have been banned since the online game days?
Anyway, after organizing my thoughts like that, I entered the Connector.
“Game Start.”
Flash!-
[May you find what you desire on the streets illuminated by Twilight……]
My vision, which had blurred and then returned to normal, showed the scenery of the village. Since I logged out in the village, this is naturally where I would be, but……
Murmur~ Murmur~
‘Huh? Why are there so many people?’
I tilted my head in surprise at the sight of a large number of players, just like yesterday evening.
It’s clearly past 10 AM, so why are there so many people? Didn’t they go to school or work? Or is today a weekend?
‘The game started on Thursday. Then today is……’
Saturday. In other words, it’s the weekend. Having unexpectedly found the answer easily, I was finally able to take my eyes off the people.
“Have I been too tired lately?”
I couldn’t believe I didn’t even know the date. But thinking about it, it’s not unreasonable. Because I’ve been spending all my time in Twilight.
[Ding!~ The item ‘Bloody Wolf’s Dagger’ that you, Rudin-nim, listed on the auction house has been sold for 107,000 won.]
[The amount of 85,600 won, excluding the 20% commission, will be automatically deposited.]
[Ding!~ The item ‘Silver-Plated Longsword’ that you, Rudin-nim, listed on the auction house has been sold for 65,000 won.]
[The amount of 52,000 won, excluding the 20% commission, will be automatically deposited.]
“Oh, they were sold.”
I read the message that popped up with the notification sound and realized that the items I had listed were sold. A total of about 130,000 won? Roughly calculating, it means I’ve earned over 650,000 won since starting Twilight.
‘I wish I could earn this much every day.’
Anyway, I took my eyes off the message window and headed towards the blacksmith.
This is the only way I can make money right now.
Actually, the profit I made from selling the crafted Longswords was quite significant. Back then, I thought the price of a Longsword would be around 30 silver, so I listed it for 60,000 won in a normal trade. But seeing that a similar Silver-Plated Longsword was sold for 65,000 won, it seemed like I could sell a few more.
‘Maybe I don’t even need to enhance them?’
However, I don’t plan on using all the Iron Ingots. I’m thinking of saving the Iron Ingots and using them later to raise my skill level. If I, who uses Intuition, raise my crafting level, I could raise it at a speed that no one else could match.
Also, I believed that if my crafting level increased in that way, I could sell weapons at a higher price than now.
“But is it okay to keep raising Iron Ingot Smelting?”
Yesterday, I worked in the mine during the time I had left after selling items and was able to raise both Ore Mining and Iron Ingot Smelting to level 5. The problem is Iron Ingot Smelting, which makes me wonder because it’s still the same as before even after raising it to level 5.
“It can’t be a skill that exists solely to raise stats.”
Even amidst my deepening worries, my footsteps were still moving.

“Anyone looking for an F-rank quest!”
“Looking for melee class! Please come!”
‘Hmm.’
After crafting five Longswords at the blacksmith and listing them on the Cash Transaction Window, I’m currently standing in front of the Quest Guild. It’s surprising that people have gathered, unlike the quiet atmosphere yesterday. But listening to their shouts, it seems like they’re having a hard time finding people.
“Anyone with fame over 80! Please help!”
“……?”
As I was looking around at the various players and about to enter the Quest Guild, something I hadn’t expected reached my ears.
‘Fame 80?’
My current fame is 54.
It doesn’t meet the conditions that were just shouted. Intrigued, I turned my gaze towards the source and saw someone desperately calling out with a loud voice.
‘The restrictions seem too much.’
Fame 80 means someone who has continuously succeeded in quests from the first day of the game until now. And at least twice at the highest difficulty. This is because you can only do one quest per day, and the maximum fame points given by an F-rank quest is 30.
Therefore, if you’ve done an F-rank quest at least once at the minimum difficulty, your fame would never reach 80.
But how do you check fame?
What if a level 1 player says, ‘I have 80 fame!’? If there’s no way to check fame, such a shout would be meaningless. But seeing them shouting like that, it seemed like there was something I didn’t know.
‘Anyway, if their fame is around 80, their skills must be guaranteed.’
Fame might be a method in itself.
Nodding with that thought, a player who was recruiting quest members from one side was approaching me.
I have a feeling he’s going to try to persuade me to join the quest.
