Chapter 18: Terrific move (2)

I was walking on the road that would take me outside Kotum Castle.

‘Hmm. Did they need to make a fuss over that?'

I forgot it. In fact, I could not help but forget it because so many surprising things happened for me to even think about it.

But it seemed that other users could not easily forget it.

That's why I could hear a lot of chattering near the square while I was moving out of Kotum Castle. They were chattering about the guy who smashed the scarecrow at the training field. “It's real! You saw it too. Just like a missing tooth in your mouth, one scarecrow was missing in the ranks of scarecrows s.p.a.ced at regular intervals.”

“I know. Calm down. You're right.”

“I'm saying it because you don't listen to me seriously.”

“It's because you are saying the same thing over and over again.”

“Whew… If you were there, you would be more excited than me. It was amazing, man. Especially the guy brandis.h.i.+ng the stick…”

As if he was disappointed by his friend's lukewarm reaction, the man who was haranguing spoke with a sigh.

“By the way, was the guy really a beginner?”

“Of course he is. Basically, the training field is off limits to those Level 10 or higher. And there is evidence. He destroyed the scarecrow and disappeared as if he evaporated. Think about his level. He achieved Level 10 immediately. That's why he bounced out of the field.”

“Hmm. More than 50 people witnessed the scene, but none of them saw his face?”

“If you watch him wield the club, you will be so fascinated that you won't have time to see his face.”

“You bet. Of course, if you invest stat points at Level 100 or 200 in Power, Agility and Physical Strength evenly, you can wield the stick as good as him, but only those below Level 10 can enter! Below Level 10!”

While those who witnessed the scene in person were engaged in a heated argument, I saw another man behind them opening his mouth carefully.

“… I think I saw him.”

“Really? His face?”

“No, not his face…”

“Then, what?”

“Well, it looked like he had white hair and white eyebrows.”

“White hair and white eyebrows?”

“No, what I mean is not the gray hair from aging… Oh yes! He had white hair and white eyebrows as if snow had piled up on his face.”

“Um… did he? If he had had white hair, he would have attracted lots of attention.”

“You bet.”

They were half in doubt while listening to him.

Then the man, who said that he seemed to have seen the guy's white hair and white eyebrows, quickly murmured and opened his mouth, “I'm not sure either. I mean he looked like the guy at first glance.”

Tramp, tramp.

I walked away, ignoring their chattering noise from the square. Then I lifted my hand and pulled out a strand of hair from my bangs to confirm. It was black, as expected.

‘What the heck is he talking about? My hair is so black.'

When the character was created by body recognition, iris recognition, and brain wave recognition, I didn't make any changes or corrections, let alone the color of my pupils. Therefore, my hair must be black.

I actually confirmed with my own eyes that it was black.

So, I couldn't help but laugh at the man who said out of the blue that he seemed to have seen me with white hair and white eyebrows, for he would never know that the guy was me.

Of course, I had no intention of hiding my ident.i.ty, and I don't have to.

But for the time being, I will because I'm a beginner who has just started playing the game.

Moreover, I'm not just a beginner, but one with enormous potential in the days to come.

So, I don't want to invite their possible obstruction or check because as they say, a protruding nail is a friendly touch.

So, if I decided to show up, I wanted to do so in a situation where n.o.body would dare challenge or touch me.

Moreover, the protagonist is supposed to show up later.
