Collecting the Male Leads’ First Nights

Chapter 63

He had told Sylvia, who drooled as she looked at the growth accelerator, that he knew who she wanted to use it on. Maybe he also knew that she could get health potions through quests.

‘Oh, my God… I wasted money. For some reason, I think this dungeon will give me a lot of health potions.’

As she was feeling indignation for having wasted money, Sevis, who had turned into his human form again, approached her.

“They don’t look like high-level monsters, considering they’re wearing ragged clothes. I think we can just beat them.”
“Still, unlike the coastal cave and the mudflats, the monsters are in groups, and they can attack us. We have to be careful.”
“Be careful, Miss Sylvia… And Mr. Sevis, too.”

They were ready for combat.
Sylvia, who had summoned a hammer from her inventory, Noel, who was praying with his hands together for the souls of the monsters who will soon leave for the underworld, Sevis who was showing his sharp fangs and claws while his red eyes shone, and Limbo, plucking and chewing the thorns of the cactus, tasting them.

“Let’s go!”

Bang, bang, bang! Thud, thud, thud! Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Crunch, crunch, gulp. The four people—correction, the three people, and one animal, all did their part. The orcs that had been gathering in groups and resting in the oasis stood up in astonishment as they came running.

Sylvia attacked with the hammer warrior’s basic skill, Head Smasher, and Noel unwrapped his bracelet, holding it in his hand, and slammed the monsters with his fist. They were kicking in the air, just like martial artists.
Sevis was partially transformed and used his sharpened claws and fangs to crush the monsters.
Limbo also worked hard to remove the thorns from the cactus and annoy the incoming monsters by spitting them out.

“Ptui, ptui!”

As Limbo spat out the thorns and threw them at the monsters’ faces, their screams were rampant.

“Arghhh!”

‘Limbo is also doing its part. It was nice to bring it.’

Sylvia used the Head Smasher on the monsters who were screaming with their eyes covered by Limbo’s thorns and made them go to sleep.

Using the item Compliance with Game Deliberations, the monsters seemed to fall asleep once they were defeated, so the orcs at the slaughter scene were lying on the floor with their hands one on top of the other, with comfortable expressions on their faces.

Sylvia had forgotten to explain to Noel the effect of Compliance with Game Deliberations, so Noel tilted his head and tried to wake up an orc that seemed to be asleep by shaking it.

“Why did they suddenly go to sleep?”

Shake.

“Ahh!”

Behind her, Noel screamed loudly. Sylvia didn’t want to know the cruel truth, so she ignored his scream and continued to beat the monsters.

Bang, bang, bang!

When she beat the last monster, a message appeared in front of her.

Ta-dah!

———————————————

[Defeated 50 Contaminated Green Orcs! Obtained 3 HP Potions as a reward.]

———————————————

After the message came up, the oasis was filled with orcs that seemed to have fallen asleep. Sevis hadn’t forgotten about the large number of marbles they had spat out, so he grabbed them all and put them in the picnic bag.

Sylvia handed out a potion one by one to the exhausted party and drank one herself. Limbo looked fine, so she took out an organic carrot from the picnic bag and brought it to its mouth.

“It’s a health potion. Thank you for the drink.”
“Ah, it was harder than I thought.”

Sylvia, who was drinking the health potion, found a turban wrapped over the heads of some of the monsters.

“They are wearing turbans?”
“Pagans from far away continents wear turbans. Are the pagans related to the desertification around the temple?”
“Well… But if they’re wearing turbans, maybe we could communicate with them?”

Sevis, who was staying quiet, raised his hand at her words and interrupted.

“… Don’t even try to know. They’re already… gone.”
“I see…”

Even if they were able to communicate, she had to attack them anyway, so she decided not to think too deeply about it.

“We have to use turbans too. The green cream won’t be enough for camouflage.”

Sylvia took the turbans from the monsters’ heads, put one around her head, and distributed the rest to the other two.

“Let’s put one on Limbo too.”

When all three of them were wearing the turbans, they took another one and put it around Limbo’s head. Their disguises were complete.

‘I think I leveled up.’

When she was swinging the hammer, she heard the system sound effect. Didn’t she level up?
When she looked at the status window, she had gained one level.

‘I wish I could reach level 30 since I’m already gathering points from past events.’

Was the system trying to listen to Sylvia’s wishes? The quest window came up again.

———————————————

[Attack the dungeons Oasis 2 and 3.
– Defeat 100 Green Orcs in the nearby dungeons Oasis 2 and 3.
Completion Reward: 10 HP Potions
Failure: Dead End]

———————————————

“Sevis, find out if there are any more monsters nearby.”
“Understood, Miss Sylvia. Sniff, sniff… Turn right around 100 meters over there, and make a u-turn right in front of the rocks. And over there, turn left around 150 meters, and go straight.”

Knowing the location of Oasis 2 and 3, the group moved to the dungeons with vicious looks on their faces. They wore a green camouflage cream and even a turban, so it was impossible to tell the monsters and the humans apart.

“Ugh!”
“Gaaaak!”

Nevertheless, the potion she had bought at the secret shop wasn’t useless at all, so she was able to replenish her exhausted stamina between dungeon raids by drinking it. After defeating the last monster, there was a glorious sound effect, and a message appeared.

———————————————

[Congratulations! You have reached level 30. Can you please distribute the distribution points now?]
[New skill 1+1 acquired.]
[Received a commemorative gift for reaching level 30.

———————————————

Sylvia endured not distributing her points while she climbed 10 levels. It was pointless, but when she gathered 50 distribution points, her heart was filled with pride.

‘Wow, wait a minute… Now that I think of it, I raided the dungeons without raising my stats? Of course, Noel was also involved, but… it’s amazing.’

She opened the skill window to see the description of the new skill.

———————————————

[1+1
– One of the skills of the Hammer Warrior. You can smash 2 monster heads at once with your hammer.]

———————————————

It was a very intuitive explanation.

‘Then, in the future, will I be able to smash the head of 100 monsters at a time with the hammer?’

What was the level 30 commemorative gift? She held her pounding chest and opened the inventory window. There was a treasure chest in her inventory that depicted the effect of fireworks exploding. As she inwardly shouted, ‘detailed description’, the contents in the box appeared written in a message.

———————————————

[Level 30 Achievement Treasure Chest

30 HP Potions
30 Mana Potions
Boomerang Hammer
1 Restorative Tonic
1 Nourishing Soup]

———————————————

Surprisingly, there were a lot of useful items in the treasure chest.

‘There are potions, a nourishing soup, a restorative tonic. Isn’t this game a combination of the east and west? The item names should be unified… No, what am I expecting from a stall game…’

If she took the restorative tonic, her HP, Strength, and Agility would increase by 50 points, and if she took the nourishing soup, her Intellect would increase by 50 points too. They were great items.

While everyone was resting under the shade of the trees in the Oasis, exhausted from catching monsters, Sylvia sneaked behind a large rock that had fallen off and consumed the tonic and the soup.

Gulp.

After consuming the liquids that tasted like bitter herbal medicine, she felt more energized, and her mind felt clearer.

‘Ah right, I almost forgot. What is the boomerang hammer?’

Sylvia quickly checked the details of the Boomerang Hammer.

———————————————

[Boomerang Hammer
-You’ve been having a hard time smashing the heads of monsters with the hammer in your hand, right?

‘The hammer is coming back!’

Throw the hammer like a boomerang at distant monsters. It will smash their heads and come back.]

———————————————

‘Wow, is the hammer even capable of a ranged attack now?’

It was a great weapon. It was now possible to do not only melee but also ranged attacks with the hammer.

Somehow, the weapon of a certain character in a movie came to her mind for a moment, but Sylvia shook her head and brushed off her random thoughts.
(T/N: I believe this is a reference to the boomerang scene in the k-drama Stairway to Heaven.)

‘Status window.’

Now it was time to distribute the points. She opened the status window to distribute the 50 points.

———————————————

You have 50 undistributed points. Please distribute them.

———————————————

Due to the effect of the tonic and soup she had just consumed, her HP, strength, intellect, and agility increased by 50 points. Sylvia pondered for a moment where to distribute the undistributed points.

Noel, who was looking for Sylvia, came to the back of the rock and found her. Crouching down next to her, Noel glanced around for a moment, then rested his head on Sylvia’s shoulder.

“Miss Sylvia, why are you alone?”
“Well… Hm, Mr. Noel, what do you think is the most important thing, health, strength, or agility?”

She asked Noel what was most important, apart from intellect. Intellect was usually thought to be related to magic due to the nature of combat games, so, as a hammer warrior, she decided to distribute them to the most important stat between HP, Strength, and Agility.

‘Intellect needs to be raised carefully. If I mess up… I could become a failed character.’
