The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 1

Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 1

Prologue

The man held the sword with both hands. The blade raised vertically reflected sunlight.

[Baldur. Give me strength.]

The blade glowed as if responding to the chant.

The man let out a deep breath, kicked the ground, and took a leap. There was a dent in the spot where he hit, and the air trembled for a moment and followed him.

A group of monsters fill the landscape in front of you.

Among them, the blade was extended through the head of a cow standing on two feet with two horns growing.

[Ugh…!]

The blade flew towards the temple of the bull’s head and slightly cut the skin.

His attack with all his might stopped there.

The cow stretched out its arms. He grabbed the man’s leg. The man was caught helplessly in the air.

The sound of the wind disturbed his front

[──!]

The cow shook the man off the tree next to him as if it were a wet towel.

Whether it was his back or his side, the man was hit somewhere, broke somewhere, and blood flowed back from somewhere and he vomited.

The body that was stuck on the tree for a moment slipped.

The leg that was caught was also broken. No, it is correct to say that I was torn apart.

He lay down, lifted his head, and looked up.

The sun shines. This is the light that made his sword shine just a moment ago. Sunlight breaks through the green clusters of trees.

And the cow.

The cow saw him with its own eyes.

[…Baldur, who governs justice and light, call me…]

There was a clattering sound.

* * *

I looked at the monitor for a moment.

The phrase ‘GAME OVER’ was placed in the center of the screen in a simple and unpretentious way.

Hmm, I snorted. And I took that much breath.

“Mangem!”

I was about to hit the shotgun when I remembered the price of the keyboard, and when I was about to throw the mouse away, I also remembered the price.

My hands hovered in the air for a moment and then I crossed my arms.

“I tried everything I could think of.”

‘Etius’, a game where swords and magic gods and monsters exist.

I can say without a doubt that there is no one who is as deeply into this game as I am.

Everyone shouted that it was a game before me and then escaped.

And since I have finally declared that I am a gamer, I am the stupidest gamer and the biggest victim.

“I thought it was a god game.”

Lively AI, vast open world, attractive characters, and countless contents.

At the time of opening, it was expressed that a fantasy world from another world was literally incorporated into the game.

In fact, it was a balance problem.

Apart from the death of the main character, no one has seen the ending of this game.

Although it is a vast open world, there is a border that cannot be advanced due to monsters, and once that border is crossed, even ordinary mobs cannot be easily killed.

I don’t think it was a game made with the intention of beating it. The company has no intention of fixing it.

But rather, it stimulated my desire for a challenge.

‘The fact that there is no intention to fix it means that there is definitely a way to attack it somewhere.’

Because I believed that.

Why did you do that?

“I’m tired.”

I put my arms on the desk and buried my face.

The time has come for me to say goodbye to this game.

The game over just now was the last move I could think of to win this game.

Since that also failed, there is no other way.

“Frondier student.”

In the end, Etius became the first game I couldn’t conquer.

Since no one has been able to capture it, I’ll leave it out of the discussion.

“Frondier de Roach.”

…But what does this mean?

I heard a strange noise in my room, where I was the only one.

Let’s raise our heads there.

“…?”

It looked like a blackboard.

In front of him, a woman who looked like a teacher seemed to be holding a textbook-like book and giving a lecture.

The teacher was looking at me now.

“Oh me?”

I answered without realizing it.

Frontier? I’ve never heard a name like that.

“Then who else is there besides you?”

The teacher said it as if it were obvious. It seemed like it was obvious that I was a ‘frontier’ or something.

I looked around. I saw the faces of students wearing school uniforms.

Some people were giggling at me.

‘It’s not my room.’

This is a classroom. My room has become a classroom. I just woke up with my face buried in the desk.

‘…ah.’

Is this a dream?

How can you be so crazy about the game Etius that you can have such vivid dreams?

“Frondier, do you know what the name of this weapon is?”

The teacher displayed the screen on the right.

This is ‘Wizer View’, a magic product that floats images in the air.

It’s a special feeling to see magic techniques that you only see in games before your eyes.

‘That’s it.’

I saw that it was a weapon that the teacher had brought up with Wizard View.

It was a tree branch. It’s not like a weapon.

‘…aha.’

I get it roughly. What answer does the teacher want?

But it’s a dream.

Should I try to be a little more oblivious?

“That’s a tree branch. “It’s not a weapon or anything.”

The students’ laughter grew louder at my words. The teacher also sighed.

“As expected, you didn’t attend class at all today either.”

I didn’t listen at all. I should have been able to hear it.

“…Teacher, was today’s class about ‘Baldur’?”

In Norse mythology, Odin’s son Baldur is the god of light.

It is said that he was stabbed to death by a mistletoe branch.

The name of the tree branch is ‘Mistiltein’.

In other words, I had to look at that tree branch and answer Mystiltein correctly.

The teacher seemed to be looking at me like something strange.

“…That’s right. “If you knew about the Frontier students, why?”

“teacher.”

I looked at the tree branches in the wizard view again.

It’s definitely true. That’s just a ‘tree branch’.

“Mistiltein doesn’t look like that.”

A weapon that will one day be wielded by the protagonist in the world of Etius.

I have seen and handled that weapon countless times.

It is not difficult to distinguish between ‘Mistletoe Twig’ and ‘Mistiltein’.

“….”

“….”

The students and teachers looked at me in silence. It was a gaze filled with things like discomfort, anger, and disgust.

That’s right. At the start of the game, everyone thought Mystiltein really looked like that.

“….”

Let’s see so.

When will this dream end?

* * *

…A week has passed since then.

I decided to admit it. This is not a dream. Whether I acknowledged it or not, this was reality.

I thought it was a dream, so I said something about Mystiltein, but my image only got worse.

As I passed through the hallway, I heard voices whispering to me.

-Is this the one who was talking nonsense in class?

Me in charge of him and him in…

“Well, I guess this body originally had a bad reputation.”

Now I am inside a mansion. The mansion where the original owner of this body lived.

As for how I got there, as soon as school was over, there was an assistant waiting in front of the front door to pick me up in the car.

I came here in a very luxurious sedan.

…Up until this point, I had some expectations. This is because I realized that even though he was not the main character, he was the son of a noble family of considerable renown.

Besides, I really liked the face of this body reflected in the mirror.

The jet-black hair and eyes were so dark that they were quite classy, and so was his appearance.

Before I found out its identity, I was almost fooled by its appearance.

I looked at my watch on the desk in my room.

Smart watch.

It was the only item brought back from the original world when coming over to this side. Maybe it was because I was wearing it on my wrist, but if so, why did my clothes change?

That’s something we still don’t know.

I wondered if this smartwatch would work, but not only did it work.

Name: Frontier de Roach

Age: 17

Affiliation: Constel, second son of the Roach family, 1st year trainee

Species: Human

Power: None

Magic details >

Quest >

It worked in a completely different way.

Now this isn’t a clock or anything.

The status of Etius that we are familiar with. It was on my smart watch.

When I saw this, it felt real. The feeling that I had fallen into another world.

For me, a complete stranger to this place, this status was a bit of salvation.

“…frontier de roach.”

It was an unfamiliar name. It took me a while to come up with it.

I worked really hard on this game. Trying to find hidden elements in every nook and cranny. He was a difficult person to remember, even for me.

When I finally remembered it, I sighed first.

──Human sloth Frontier.

It is a derogatory term referring to a sloth. It is just a derogatory term without any other meaning.

Lazy but powerful. Lazy but

not with

something hidden .

Just a lazy and lazy character. That’s just the character.

“It’s not that I don’t understand that the skill composition is like this, but it’s not like I’m lazy.”

In the world of Etius, the only things that determine whether someone is strong or weak, competent or incompetent are skills, magic, and divine power.

Among these, divine power refers to the power given by God.

In Etius, all kinds of mythical gods appear and grant power to humans. However, there are not many people like that.

People who receive divine power are no different from being chosen, and in reality, all people who have divine power are named.

On the other hand, everyone can acquire skills and magic, but their power is minimal compared to divine power. However, it is not easy to obtain.

There are a very few people who, through great effort and talent, develop skills and magic that surpass divine power.

Frontier obviously has no divine power and

doesn’t even have magic, so

if you look at its skills.

Skill Details >

[Weaving]

Grade: Unique

Description: Saves and replicates images of objects. However, it is an illusion. It goes through a process of ‘work-out’ and ‘replication’.

– Workshop: Stores woven objects in virtual space.

– Replication: Duplicating objects stored in the workshop.

It is like this.

What does this mean?

I picked up a fountain pen on the desk and used ‘Weaving.’

The image of the fountain pen is saved and the saved image is filled in as if thread is being woven before your eyes.

As if printed with a 3D printer.

Probably because of this appearance, it is called ‘weaving’.

[Viet Company’s high-quality fountain pen] (replica)

Grade: General

Description: A woven product imitating a fountain pen. There is no physical entity.

I held a real fountain pen in my left hand and a replica fountain pen in my right.

When I saw it with my own eyes, it looked exactly the same.

This is weaving. Reproduce objects as illusions.

The image of the object once ‘woven’ in this way is stored in the ‘workshop’.

As written above, the workshop is like my virtual space where I can easily view what I have saved.

Like augmented reality, I can see it with my own eyes, so I can display everything, including weapons and tools.

Therefore, weaving is possible anytime, anywhere.

However, only things I have seen with my own eyes.

Even if I know the weapon in my head, it is not saved in the workshop until I actually see it.

Before I was possessed, Frontier had already used several weapons and items stored there.

…If you just say it like this, it sounds very plausible.

Because it’s a fantasy, it’s all fake.

A fountain pen copied like this cannot write, much less pierce a single sheet of paper.

Moreover, since it is only visible to my eyes, other people may not know whether I have woven it or not.

A fantasy that cannot interfere with reality at all.

…We decided to call this ‘delusion’.

I have no idea what to do with this.

“It’s a skill I’ve never seen before while playing Etius.”

Since I’ve never seen it before, of course it’s rated unique.

In Etius, unique grades have characteristics that are different from other grades.

The grades range from ‘General’ at the lowest to ‘Secret’ at the highest, but the ‘Unique’ grade is not included here.

Instead, unique classes have different characteristics. That there is only one.

Therefore, unique grades cannot be a standard for judging good or bad. No matter how insignificant it is, if it is only one, it is given a ‘unique’ rating.

…But is there a unique skill that is this useless?

“Sloth Frontier.”

This skill seems to prove its derogatory name.

From now on, I have to live as Frontier in the game that I was unable to conquer as the main character.

“It’s not a matter of just living.”

I clicked on the ‘Quest’ field on my smartwatch.

Quest >

[Main Quest: Transformation of Destiny]

Description: You know the end in which humanity will be destroyed. SAVE HUMANITY AND CHANGE DESTINY

This quest was on point from the moment I opened my smartwatch. It’s probably a quest that started from the moment I was possessed by Frondier.

As this quest explains, I know the ending of this game. Or should I say that I know the outcome if I fail to conquer it?

The end of humanity is extremely bleak.

In a typical game, it would be a demon king or a final boss of that level, or a huge conspiracy or a dark secret. It is not about being destroyed by something like that.

Just get slaughtered by monsters. The home of humanity is gradually taken over by monsters, and eventually they are unable to withstand the waves of monsters and are swept away.

Even the protagonist of this game has such a vain ending.

Stop that. Look at me.

ha ha ha.

smart.

A maid’s voice was heard from the other side of the door.

“Mr. Frontier? “Can I come in?”

“That’s right.”

Without realizing it, I answered politely. Frondier is a nobleman by birth, so speaking like this would be awkward.

The maid who came in was also looking at me a little strangely. Of course, I wouldn’t say that thought out loud.

“A letter from Frontier has arrived.”

“letter? To whom?”

I try to force myself to say it. It may be awkward for a while, but you will gradually get used to it.

“It’s Ampere.”

“…Father?”

Ampere Frontier’s father.

I don’t know the character Frondier, but I know Ampere. I know very well.

Ampere de Roach, the northern iron wall.

A superhuman who has never once allowed the intrusion of monsters in ‘Yeranhes’, a territory on the outskirts of the Terst Empire.

The reason why I am unfamiliar with the character Frondier is because the father, Ampere, and his first son, Adgier, account for almost all of the Roach family.

As a general, Ampere has the leadership ability to reach the rank of corps commander, and his individual military power is comparable to that of ‘Zodiac’, one of the twelve fingers on the continent.

Atzie is a fraudulent character according to the Etius formula who inherits all of his father’s incredible talents and grows above them.

Ampere Now my father is writing to me.

Nervously, I took the letter the maid gave me and opened the seal. The letter contained simple sentences.

[Frondier, your laziness is enough.

Be in the top 10 overall in your grade at Constell.

If you don’t do it, you will be excommunicated.]

I read the contents in full and exhaled through my nose. And I drank that much.

“…Mangem!”

“What did you say?”

“it’s nothing!”

It seems like my life is about to become simpler.

I heard a monotonous notification sound and checked my smartwatch.

[A subquest has been created]

[Subquest: Father’s Order]

Description: Due to Frondier’s laziness during the past, his father Ampere’s patience has reached its limit.

Goal: Rank in the top 10 overall in Constel within this semester

Reward: Receive recognition from Ampere.

If you fail, you will be excommunicated.

I know!
