Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World

New Start (1)

Inside a magical tool shop at the eastern commercial district of Onpros City, a transaction was being processed.

The shopkeeper brought out a pouch of gold coins and handed it to the red-haired mage.

“The Devil’s Spirit Stone value measurement is over. Combined with the value of gold and jewels, the total is 12,830X.”

Artis sold the stones Ryu Han-bin obtained in the Alpha Dungeon in his stead.

After leaving the store, Artis handed the bag to Han-bin, who was waiting outside.

Han-bin laughed as he checked its contents.

“I won’t worry about money for a while.”

The Devil Spirit Stones prices were likely to be high since they were from monsters level 30 or higher.

The Lich’s gold and gems also gave him a significant sum.

“Huh? Why isn’t it opening?”

A message popped up.

[Your level is insufficient.]

“Right! You can’t use it at your level, Han-bin. I’ll open it instead.”

With ease, Artis opened the refrigerator instead, took out a bottle of water, and poured it into the glass.

“Here, have a drink.”

Holding his glass, Ryu Han-bin stared at the refrigerator blankly.

An additional message popped up.

[Constant Cold Storage: Conditions of Use lv. 20.]

“…. This is!”

He finally understood why the world wasn’t riddled with magical household tools.

“The technology of this world cannot be used by commoners.”

The common people wouldn’t even be able to use low-level magic tools.

Only high-level individuals could enjoy the perks of the world’s technology.

It was only natural for the appliances to be rare.

The tools were created based on the Dungeons’ magic tools’ science. There was no way to remove the level requirements.

“We need a way to get rid of its limitations.”

In response, Artis asked as if it were strange.

“Is anyone on Earth able to use such convenient tools?”

“Of course!”

“Without any requirements?”

“For what reason would you need to be qualified?”

“Without qualifications, you won’t need to take responsibility for the convenience you enjoy. That doesn’t seem right.”

In this world, all magic tools and artifacts were subject to conditions of use.

The understanding of the people revolved around that notion.

“Well, some of the aliens sometimes carry a unique item with no level limit, but…”

Such taboo items were confiscated and sealed off by the Thinkers.

It was all for the sake of preventing the items from falling into the wrong hands.

“There is such a huge cultural difference between our worlds.”

Ryu Han-bin shook his head.

He wasn’t on Earth, after all.

After dinner, the two sat together in the living room.

Now that their stomachs were full, it was time to discuss their plans.

Their biggest problem was that Ryu Han-bin was only measured as a level 5 Swordsman.

Han-bin brought up a question.

“How can I fool the measuring stone, Artis?”

After contemplating for a while, Artis bowed his head.

“I’ve never heard of such a method. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I didn’t expect it to be solved that easily anyway.”

Ryu Han-bin sighed as he shook his head.

“Is there no other choice but to stop measuring the level itself? But in this world, if you refuse to measure your level, you can’t even work as a hunter.”

“Oh, did you want to work as a hunter while avoiding the use of measuring stones?”

Artis shrugged.

“If that’s the problem, then there’s a solution.”

Han-bin was surprised.

“There’s a solution?”
