Orphan Reincarnation (1)
Kim San.
Age 29.
Achievements so far.
Poorhouse orphan gamer high school dropout NEET.
How much money in the bank?
320 billion.
He lived playing games in his room with that money.
Until just before transmigration...
***
The independent orphan package on the internet was all lies.
The innocent kid in the world believed it until 18.
He thought the community posts were mostly true, and lived playing without thinking about the future.
“300,000 won is what…”
As soon as he could work, he was kicked out like a dog.
Life of factory and odd jobs until death.
“Damn, it’s so gloomy…”
5,000 won auto lottery that survived Kim Banjangs’s bullying.
4,000 won Korean beer in a plastic bag.
Without much expectation, he scratched the lottery QR on his phone in the basement room.
“Eh? Eh? Eh??? Fuck?”
By luck, he scratched the lottery while drinking and won.
Bought a house and put some of the remaining money into hot coins.
“I thought I’d be liquidated! Those fucking powers!”
Thanks to a CEO from the US buying a ticket to Mars right before liquidation, he pulled off an all-time big score.
The orphan who got freedom beyond passive income without working is now…
***
“Ah. It’s so annoying. Really.”
[Ah, the erosion board is there~]
[It’s a joke~]
[You who didn’t pray to the god of randomness are wrong lol]
[By the way, is this difficulty made to break?]
“How do you think 1,2 phases will be, but 3 phase is really tough. Haa… This time, how many tries? 13 tries? 14 tries?”
He became a gamer streamer.
Professionally, Chungwol Gokseong.
An avant-garde work created by the continent’s hot ham people.
An urban fantasy genre with a grand world view featuring various races.
In game format, it’s a defense game where you deploy operators to block waves.
The difficulty is quite high, but designed to be cleared with low-star operators.
Of course, that was when there was overwhelming physical, mental, and wallet support.
“How is the 3 phase gimmick… entire operator retreat, cost recovery slowdown, sustained damage to all, and only 3 targeting wide range patterns? What kind of skill game is this?”
“From what I saw, the boss pattern has no conscience. How do you survive 3 true damage 3 hits.”
“Ei. If you have the skill to trigger 30 times at 10%, catch you.”
15th try.
As expected, the result was the same.
3rd phase, at 50% health, all operators retreat.
Failed to defeat within time limit, mission failed.
Chaos - NM - 9 - 15
Failed to defeat within time limit.
“Seems like you can’t break free if you’re shackled. I guess I have to give up on the sponsorship mission.”
[Failure - Mission: Disdis X, insert 1★ 4 into Chaos - 9 - 15 Nightmare difficulty clear.]
[Cookie 50,000 pieces.]
“Even if Disdis is like that, inserting 4 1-stars is really evil. If you put in 1-person who can block 1 pattern or 2 mobs in 0 time, the front line can’t be maintained.”
Before the chat burns more, look at the operator list and characters.
The screen is full of 6 stars.
Pages full of max level stats and dedicated equipment made by scraping resources.
Even after scrolling for a long time, all 6-star max levels.
A rare sight.
And at the front of the stars, 2 characters.
[Scout] Classified as [6★ Dragon - Edith] and…
[Knight] Classified as [6★ God-King of Promise - Edith Reddrake], aka Disdis.
“My favorite looks like my mental is recovering…”
“4 draws are a bit off though?”
Resources are overflowing.
Go to the operator recruitment and press the 10-pull button.
This pull’s banner is the story protagonist [Edith Reddrake].
Flash!
With golden light, two premium documents appear.
“1 try?”
[6★ High Priestess of Oak - Einar Rasplant]
“You are the commander of Gokseong. It is an honor to meet you like this. I am…”
“Pick up Eva!”
[6★ Labyrinth Knight - Minos]
“Ah, commander, hello. Lordment-sensei said to learn a lot from the commander from today…”
“Ah…”
“Since there are many lords, it’s okay.”
“Ne~ No~”
Flash!
“Oh.”
[6★ God-King of Promise - Edith Reddrake]
“Commander, long time no see. This is not an official visit, but a reunion between old friends. Edith Reddrake…”
[First trait. Lord of the Round Table
Damage received by self and 12 adjacent units -30%, each allied operator 1 in 12 adjacent units ‘Edith’s attack power +10%.
Second trait. Holy Sword of Pass.
Upon deployment, resistance for 6 seconds and shield 1 time to operators within 12 squares.]
“Traits are already OP.”
Traits that make you laugh out loud.
12 square one-time invuln, self attack power up…
[First skill. I have come to this land…]
[Second skill. I have seen hope…]
[Third skill. I have rightfully won.
Initial mana 30
Mana cost 50
Duration 30 seconds
Upon skill use and end, second trait activates. Place [Round Table Knight] in all deployable squares within 12 squares. Attack range increases during skill duration and attacks all enemies in range simultaneously, attack power 180%, damage type changes to true damage upon attack.]
Long, verbose description like gathering the continent’s climate…
“How can the skill description be like this, if I use it I can clear.”
“Can’t replace deal, tank, support. What is it.”
“Can’t. Weak in anti-air without skill.”
“It’s true… favorite but it’s a bug…”
“OP characters’ skill content feels like a bug.”
“Blonde boss fetish so it’s cheat.”
“The popular character is like that~ main character… should like it?”
“Disdis 6-star this is not even right.”
[6★ Eternal Crimson +5 -
Attack +150(+250), HP +1,500 (+2,500)
When shield broken, mana 5 recovery. Every second max HP 5% recovery.]
“Attack and HP without extra, mana recovery…”
“Wow! Infinite stamina!”
“Hot ham people, do they have no money to earn? Hmm…”
“Game is ruined lol lol”
“How is the only conscience 2 people…”
“Even attack is top tier but true damage type…”
“Still, finally seeing the light!”
“Frankly, during scout days, it wasn’t tier character. I’ll ban it.”
“Better than Lancelot’s single face ‘knight’ lol lol”
“Steam punk swordsmanship is the strongest in 1v1.”
“Is this… strongest?”
“Insulting Round Table strongest Lancelot-nim-nim?”
“Lancelot knight IP arrest lol lol”
“Ne~ Lancelot bait is that, let’s roll Edith.”
The point where it failed earlier.
6-star general who threw off the shackle of 4 1-stars.
Operation start.
Chaos - NM - 9 - 15
Monhwan Poying (Illusion Bubble)
Final boss of the Chaos story continued from part 1.
Nightmare difficulty strengthened in health, attack, gimmick… all directions.
[Lord of Nightmare: Perm]
Pattern of summoning mobs, no ground, summoning 7 chapter bosses in 1st phase.
2nd phase invuln gimmick then erosion boards and sustained lasers across the map.
3rd phase transform into giant boss then until time limit.
Quantity if quantity.
Health if health.
Gimmick if gimmick.
“Even if I cut the pattern to annoy, I have Disdis.”
But if there’s Edith Reddrake, aka Disdis, it changes.
“Don’t be afraid. I have come.”
“Kya… effects are always awesome.”
The holy sword stabs at deployment.
And shield applied to nearby allies.
After breaking on chapter boss pattern, mana rises rapidly.
Golden torrent wraps Edith’s body and makes skill activatable.
[I will win this battle!]
With the holy sword’s activation, souls of knights settle in the 12 squares.
Holding their weapons, overwhelming damage to mobs and chapter bosses without distinction.
Compared to enemies melting one by one, allies are more than healthy.
“Melting… melting…”
After 2nd phase ends, all operators retreat.
After deploying with saved cost due to Disdis…
[``- - - !!!``]
“Really easy, right?”
“Even with 4 1-stars, can’t clear if Disdis is there.”
[Lord of Nightmare ‘Perm’ 1/1
Nightmare Lord 7/7
Crawling Nightmare 108/108]
Complete.
All enemies defeated, Gokseong HP not drained at all.
[``I never thought I would retreat like this!``]
Fog swallows the battlefield and all operators except Edith retreat.
“Was there such a scene? True ending?”
Edith left alone raises the red holy sword towards Perm.
Round Table knights come out and cut Perm’s fog.
Even as they are cut mercilessly, Perm doesn’t stop rampaging.
Looking at the chat, no reactions.
“Normally I’d freak out seeing this, why are they quiet.”
[``You…! You are the stumbling block of the great plan!``]
A huge hand made of fog wraps the screen.
And Perm and for a moment…
“Our eyes met…”
Crack - !
Screen shatters and Perm’s hand breaks the screen.
A hand comes out from the screen
Wraps my head.
[``I will eliminate you.``]
“Eh?”
Boom - !
***
Awakened with headache like about to break.
It felt like I was immersed too much in the story, or dreamed a nightmare.
“Did I do too many Chungwol Gokseongs.”
The floor instead of bed, as if I fell asleep right in front of the computer.
“Ah head…”
Creak-
When I got up from the floor, I felt the hard wooden texture.
“Eh?”
The floor wasn’t laid with solid wood, but something was strange.
Thinking that, opening my eyes, it was a strange place.
A wooden building hard to see in Korea, window width less than 30cm, poor lighting, damp mold smell in the room.
If in Korea it’s a 300,000 won/month room, this room would be 300,000 won? The voice comes out.
“Fuck where is this… no, why is my voice like this.”
A voice close to childish and a small hand with red complexion.
My body is not it.
How can my body not be moving when I move?
It’s too clear to be a dream.
The air I breathe, the sensation is too vivid.
“Transmigration?”
This is a clichéd situation.
Noticing the abnormality, the headache like breaking gets worse a bit.
Ugh!
Unidentifiable memory.
If body and soul memories are separate, it feels mixed.
Memories of ‘Kim San’ from previous life and ‘Kane’ the body owner mixed.
An orphan boy of about 15 who dreams of being a knight.
A sickly boy who suffered from ‘Nightmare Fever’ for about 2 weeks.
From him, memories of Kane’s body floated one by one.
After organizing memories of Edith, Robert, poorhouse… many memories, the headache slowly subsides and I know where this is.
“Isn’t this the poorhouse?”
“Ah… even second life is orphan?”
Oh heavens!
Why don’t you give me parents!
Even Kane had no memory of parents.
For now, first grasp the body.
Even clenching fists, no superhuman strength felt.
Just in case, try squeezing the table nearby with all strength, only fingerprints come out.
“It doesn’t seem like a special body.”
In this world view, if it was special body, it would have been crushed like sand.
Physical ability is normal.
Even if I calculate several arithmetic with head, addition and multiplication are hard from 3 digits.
Intellectual level normal.
Trying to feel mana by closing eyes, no feeling at all.
Mana sensitivity normal or below.
“No cheat key?”
At least it was difficult, so better than previous body
In a world close to dystopia, can’t even protect my own body.
Monsters in main story cut down mountains with sword?
“Kane. Entering?”
At the moment of realizing it’s fucked, familiar voice comes.
Without time to say anything, the door opens and a blonde hair rushes in.
A bit childish but those blue eyes and beautiful face.
Can’t not know.
The name that strongly remains in memories across previous and current lives.
“Edith?”
My favorite is in front of me.
