Pick Me Up!

Chapter 9: If You Want to Survive, Ride the Wave Well (1) Part 2

I explained the basic rules of Pick Me Up to Jenna.

The existence of a master who gives us orders. We have to subdue enemies and fulfill missions according to those orders. With each completed mission, the floor level increases, and when we reach the 100th floor, we might be liberated.

We have to fight monsters all the time?

Thats why we train. We have to grow stronger.

Besides training, there are various ways to become stronger, but at the current low floor level, most of the content is still locked. At this point, training is all I can do.

Do we have to keep fighting alone?

I also explained about summoning. The master summons humans from another world using gems and gold as currency. We were brought to this world through that summoning.

People will continue to be summoned steadily, and we have to perform missions while sometimes competing and sometimes cooperating with them.

I kept the world and my true identity hidden.

This is all I can explain. Did you understand?

Yes, I got it.

Jenna nodded her head. Her expression wasnt particularly good, but she didnt openly show it. She was concealing her emotions.

She didnt act like a kid about it, there were no signs of tantrums or misbehavior.

She was calmly accepting the situation.

Shes reliable enough.

We are in it together, right?

We are in it together? What do you mean?

If I die, you die, and if you die, hyung, Ill die.

Thats not it.

But shes showing goodwill.

I didnt explain about synthesis either, but maybe for another time.

Anyway, the master will be back soon, and then the battle will begin. Until then, keep training. Its better than being idle.

Yes!

Jenna saluted loudly and raised her longbow.

Training resumed once again. There was nothing special about the training itself; it mainly involved physical conditioning and swinging swords at scarecrows or shooting arrows.

But neither Jenna nor I were playing around.

Our lives were at stake.

After a day of training.

The reason why I couldnt find Jenna in the dormitory was revealed.

When I opened the door to the dormitory, a modern-style house appeared, but when Jenna opened the door, it revealed the interior of a quaint wooden house. When I asked Iselle about it, she replied like this.

[Do you have any complaints? Be thankful youre not stuck in a barn!]

Since I had no complaints about my living conditions, I didnt argue with Jenna either. It seemed that the location changed depending on who opened the door.

And so, on the third day of training.

[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]

I stopped swinging my wooden sword.

The straw-stuffed scarecrow was in tatters.

Status window.

I acquired two skills. Low-level Swordsmanship and Low-level Shield Techniques, which enhance sword and shield abilities, respectively. Jennas Low-level Archery skill had increased to level 2.

We did what we could.

Get ready. The master is coming.

Already?

What do you mean already? Its been three days.

We returned our weapons and went to the square.

The equipment from the training camp couldnt be taken outside.

[Loading complete.]

I am the Strategy King! Check out the official caf

The announcements were skipped, and the master appeared on the main screen.

I calculated the time ratio between Earth and the waiting room. If the master logs in here every day, one day on Earth is equivalent to three days here.

The summoning gate opened.

[Summon!]

A party consists of five members.

He will draw three times.

[Summoning Heroes!]

[Summon heroes using gold or gems. Try summoning the infinite heroes of Mobius Summon!]

[Master, summoning is starting. Im excited to see which hero will come out!]

[Whisk, whoosh, whoosh.]

Common!

Master Anytng has acquired hero Aaron ()!

Common!

Master Anytng has acquired hero Toby ()!

Common!

Master Anytng has acquired hero Yellens ()!

All 1-star heroes.

A faint light seeped out from inside the summoning gate.

After a moment, three men walked out with bewildered faces.

Where is this?

Thats what Im saying.

Hey, mister! Get ready to fight first. Ill teach you after its over!

Youre talking about getting ready to fight? Who are you? Answer!

[Forming a party.]

[Drag and drop heroes!]

Aaron () joins Party 1!

Toby () joins Party 1!

Yellens () joins Party 1!

[Open, the rift of space and time!]

Creak.

The front door opened.

At the same time, the door to the armory opened.

It was much faster than the previous round.

The master was in a rush.

Jenna, get your weapons before its too late!

Yes!

We ran.
