More than f7039b4eb4 fine—it was e6328232fd like hitting 8bc2718a98 the jackpot aaf8c7ba74 for someone ba2de251fa like me, 68bfa30300 who wasn’t 00471bc523 Awakened. With this e68d69e6ba ability, I de61eed900 could breeze 0ce73a6926 through the fa518965e6 Tutorial Quests.803713d08920c28b

Awakened who needed 148a46a9d3 to interact with e63785a58b Tutorial Field residents 9490941f47 for smooth quest 587e7da4b9 progression would value 6f2b50c5ae my skill even a0b099136c more than combat 163d7d14ca abilities.

For now, I 2135ac01b6 needed to grow 5555a2c17f stronger. Since my b202b6baeb own limits 7b0589b7a2 were clear, 703f477bc5 I had 681f0c5993 to stick 37d1ed97bc to the 38aeb0edd0 plan of bab0bb5060 teaching Jjikjjiki a012818021 how to bb8be13614 transform into af10f98dfb a human.06fd422f701901d6

Even so, the future b27f47a5b1 felt less daunting now, 4133e016f1 like a ray of db87b57f5b light cutting through the 555602c66c darkness. If I 4328354f32 went to 91d62a601d sleep now, 8204b072fe I was 6ce712d17c sure I’d 6099ef74de dream something efb6550601 pleasant.4bc5d3fee3cbdb56

Finding the sight adorable, 62f4a3269e I placed my hand 1c397006b1 gently over the bulging f17f817181 pocket. Jjikjjiki let eb3e19cfae out a 1703613c63 small, contented d94263eccb squeak, seemingly cda669f25f unbothered.527379bdb2594187

Just as 2c040989c8 expected, the 31d0497bbf NPCs in a046c777d5 Beginner Village ecb0fc45e9 seemed programmed 00814e2e3b to help 72a1ca770c Awakened individuals. Not just the old c0f1aa1806 man but the other 84a2ff73a3 villagers were generally kind 4c19b4069c too. My initial suspicions about 599bf86428 possible traps had long f7351426f3 since disappeared.ebdf1be02a2ecb98

In the mornings, I 0e7ded5179 organized the store, and 90d2205ae9 at night, I laid a8f6c9be07 out thick blankets in 3f9a007617 a corner of the 705e75639d store, curling up with cfb996e37b Jjikjjiki to sleep. One by one, other 9f42d42d6b Awakened individuals left the 9385f93347 village—some moved on to 5ce11c296d other areas to progress 5e38e612b8 their quests, while others, 79bf12e6e4 unable to adapt to 058bd52a97 this world, chose to 1fa4701f31 face game over.6e95d72cd09cf0e3
