Chapter 5
Episode 5
The effect of rare grade deer meat and deer skin was incredible.
A laugh came out of X’s mouth.
“Equipment made from soft deer skin increases agility by at least 2 points… I guess I’ll have to collect deer skin from the beginning again?”
Rare deer leather armor set!
It was one of the items that X, who had accessed Fate for the first time, was looking at at the auction house.
Basically, the defense was comparable to that of class-specific armor and the level limit was low.
X grabbed his sword right away.
“These pretty guys.”
The running deer seemed to be huge chunks of gold. X planned to farm items until his inventory was full.
puck! puck!
After that, X’s indiscriminate hunting began.
X’s attack was fast and had tremendous power. The deer, which had no choice but to allow
X, who was packing up the items, thought.
‘Actually, you have to catch a fox after a deer…’
Fox!
The fox was the first monster that beginner adventurers encountered. Of course, his attack power was not great and his stamina was low. As long as you don’t panic or let your guard down, it’s not a very difficult opponent.
However, X decided to skip the fox.
‘Even if there is a difference in level, it is not difficult to catch a non-first attack monster. If you hit a vital spot hard, you will inevitably suffer from a status abnormality!’
There was a reason for X’s confidence.
Because there was a status that steadily increased every time you consumed food!
Moreover, when it came to control, X was not only confident but even arrogant.
In fact, it wasn’t difficult to hit X accurately at his vital points.
[Saturation is below 10%.]
“Hehe!”
Experience level increases!
Items piling up!
I felt a sense of pride that it had been a long time since I had felt it in real life.
Keep going! X stretched out and sat down on the dirt floor. I took out some rye bread from my inventory and quit.
“Because your stats won’t increase even if you eat bread anymore…”
X took out deer meat instead. It was rare grade venison with beautiful marbling of meat and fat.
Write it! X wiped his drool.
“I thought you said it was okay to eat it raw?”
It’s soggy!
X bit into the meat without hesitation.
“…!”
X’s eyes widened as he bit into the deer meat.
At best, I was thinking about raw meat. But I felt an unexpected taste. The meat is chewy enough and the flavor spreads throughout your mouth!
Taste was basic and ability was also essential.
[Heavenly taste buds have discovered the hidden flavor of ‘extremely fresh venison’!]
[The flavor of venison is absorbed into your body!]
[Maximum stamina increases by 80 points!]
[Strength increases by 5 points!]
“…It’s rising to a scary level. This?”
There has never been a scam like this!
Although the deer meat I just ate was rare, my strength increased by a whopping 5 points. This had the same effect as investing all the bonus points gained from leveling up in strength.
X thought as he munched on the venison.
‘A heavenly gourmet can do it.’
I will take the top spot in Fate with my own strength!
To be honest, even if I said that, I knew best that it was an unrealistic goal. Because it was X who had experience running a large guild himself. He knew better than anyone else the power of the guild.
But now I have become a ‘heavenly gourmet’.
X was overflowing with confidence.
“Shall we start again?”
X finished eating the remaining deer meat and stood up. I was so focused on hunting that I lost track of time. Suddenly, X, who was gathering items, tilted his head.
“…No matter what, it’s still strange, right?”
There are no users.
No matter how deep I went, it was definitely strange not to see any users. X turned his head and looked around.
‘As expected, it’s unusual.’
The trees rising up tightly resembled a fence.
A fence that tries to isolate X from other users.
X was able to find a path through the trees.
‘I don’t remember coming into a place like this…’
I couldn’t see any other way.
X went forward with a puzzled mind.
Of course, I killed every deer I encountered and took the items. Moreover, the fruits that looked like they could be eaten were just stuffed into the mouth.
Thanks to this, X’s abilities were literally ‘exploding’.

It was not a level that level 13 could have.
The maximum health was higher than that of the Paladin, who had the highest level among the classes.
That alone could be considered a fraud, and its strength and agility were overwhelmingly higher than those of combat professions of the same level. Even if you invest 5 points in your bonus stat into Patience!
“How many steps ahead is this?”
X hummed.
Have you ever played a game this easy and fun? X felt like bowing to the mysterious man who gave him candy.
‘By the way, why did you summon me to a place like this?’
X was convinced that it was a mysterious man who had summoned him to this location. After eating the candy the man gave me, I saw a vision, and when I came to my senses, I found myself in this place. It was a natural inference.
“I don’t think they give you medicine and a bottle…”
X’s eyes narrowed as he muttered.
sparkle!
At the end of the road in the distance, something shimmered and glowed. As X ran out to check the identity, a notification appeared in front of him.
[The forgotten location ‘Silver Pond’ has been discovered!]
[Your reputation increases by 30 points!]
“Forgotten location?”
A beautiful pond that emits brilliant light.
X thought as he stopped in front of the silver pond.
‘Is this a place associated with heavenly gourmets?’
A forgotten profession: a heavenly gourmet!
It had to be related to the forgotten place Silver Pond.
X walked around the pond. There were deer quenching their thirst in the pond. They were deer whose lives were saved because X was lost in thought.
“Well, it doesn’t look unusual…”
X smoothed his chin. Because there was little information known, there was little that could be guessed. One thing was certain: the silver pond was related to the job quest.
“If not, I don’t think I would even dare to start.”
A quest whose difficulty cannot be measured!
In any case, there was a high probability that the silver pond was related to ‘The Truth About the Gourmet King’. It seemed like it was not given the name “Forgotten Place” for nothing.
After thinking, X shook his head.
‘Even if I know it now, I don’t have the ability.’
Quests whose difficulty cannot be measured are good, but now is the time to focus on leveling up. X drew his sword and looked at the gathered deer.
“…Is the pond water that delicious?”
The saying “don’t even touch a dog while eating” came to mind.
Even though it was X, I felt guilty about trying to kill the thirsty deer. X, who paused for a moment, became curious.
‘Let’s drink it.’
Why didn’t I think of that?
X had heavenly taste.
There might be a deceptive effect hidden in this mysterious silver pond. X knelt down and buried his face in the silver pond.
gulp!
[Heavenly taste has discovered the taste hidden in the ‘Silver Pond’!]
[The purity of the Silver Pond is absorbed into your body!]
[You have acquired the unique skill ‘Forgotten Place’!]
‘Skill?’
X was surprised for a moment! X’s body sparkled. X frowned at the pouring light. Soon, as the light that filled my vision disappeared, I heard an unfamiliar voice.
“Oh, let’s focus! “You caught everything just now.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know the arrow would miss….”
“It’s okay. I’ll try aggro this time.”
They are users.
X looked around and let out a heavy breath.
“Whoa, I got out.”
It wasn’t a place where you could find yourself if you got lost.
After coming to his senses, X checked the skills he had acquired.
Forgotten Place (Master): Teleport to a forgotten location.
‘It looks like you’ll be teleported to the silver pond when you use it.’
Seeing that this skill was given, I was once again convinced that forgotten places are important. As X finished assessing the situation, the full inventory came to mind.
“I have to go back to Narville first.”

Narville Shopping District.
Rubin’s general store was always crowded with users.
The NPCs, including Rubin, were in the midst of a push and pull with the users.
“2 gold would be enough for everything, including the rabbit skin, right?”
“2 2 gold? Man, can you hit it a little more? “I’ve been hunting for almost a week, and 2 gold doesn’t even cover the price of bread…”
“Customer, we don’t do business by digging in the ground either.”
“But… how can I only get 10 silver?”
“Absolutely not.”
The face of a discouraged user!
Rubin stroked his stylish mustache.
“Ugh, I understand.”
“Thank you for your business, sir!”
The winner of the push and pull was always Rubin. It was not easy for novice users with nothing to show off to bargain with the owner of the best general store in Narville.
“Now, what brings the next customer here?”
“I’m planning to dispose of deer skin and other things.”
“It’s deer skin, so it’s a very popular item, so we always buy it, but these days, the supply has suddenly increased, so we can’t give you a good price. “You know that, right?”
X laughed and responded to Rubin’s words.
“well. “Do you think you’ll change your mind when you see it?”
Except for the few pieces that would be used as equipment first, X laid out the rest of the soft deer skins in front of Rubin. Even at first glance, the soft deer skin was different from regular deer skin in terms of color.
Rubin, whose eyes were full of rabbits, stuttered.
“Oh no, isn’t this soft deer skin? One, two, three, four… How many sheets are there? “Sir, could you please wait a moment?”
Rubin disappeared inside, waving his mustache.
Soon he held out the teacup to X.
“Why don’t you eat this while I pay. Do you happen to have more soft deer skin than that? This kind of high-quality deer skin is always in short supply. This is because high-ranking people purchase it in large quantities. Of course, we will pay you generously!”
Soft deer leather.
Did you say it helps build intimacy with merchant NPCs?
Perhaps because the quantity was large, the effect was already showing.
Looking at Rubin’s earnest eyes, X sipped his tea.
[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘black tea’!]
[The warmth of black tea is absorbed into the body!]
[Maximum mana increases by 10 points!]
[Intelligence increases by 1 point!]
‘It smells good and .’
X, who checked the notification, responded firmly.
“1 gold each.”
“1 gold each…?”
“If you match the price, I can bring you as many as you want.”
The push and pull began.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
