I CAME TO BE INSIDE THE NOVEL - 03

...

Everyone was staring at me with a question mark above their heads.

Even the main characters wondered what I was doing. Not choosing a weapon is like giving up on being a hero. Of course, if you're a high-ranking hero, you might not necessarily need a weapon, but a cadet is a different story. Look at Yeonha—even though she doesn't have great combat skills, she chose a weapon she was most familiar with.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Nayun and Yeonha herself staring intently at me.

"I don't need one."

With a shrug, I responded to the instructor.

"You don't need one? Cadet Theo Sagan, do you think Cube is a place for jokes?"

With a small sigh and a steady gaze at the instructor, I explained.

"I use magic to create whatever I want, so what's the point of having a weapon when I can make it myself?"

To prove the truth of my words, a small green magic circle hovered in front of my hand, and then it began to rise.

"Not only that, I can also summon weapons from other dimensions..."

These weapons belonged to the ancient servants and allies of Anos who died in the Mythical Era. It seemed like I had acquired a graveyard with thousands of weapons at my disposal.

Aside from these weapons, in another dimension, I possessed three incredibly overpowered swords—so broken that they were truly game-breaking.

Around me on the ground, small red portals formed, and from within them, swords, axes, spears, daggers, and more emerged.

With that dazzling display, many students could only stare in awe.

"Whoa!"

"What a cheat-like Gift!"

"Hey, what kind of broken blessing is this?"

"Idiot, that must consume a lot of magical power."

"If I had a Gift like that, I could fight for the top spot among all first-years."

While almost everyone admired my actions, two guys in particular had complicated expressions on their faces—one was Shin Jonghak, and the other was the creator of this world, Kim Hajin.

He must surely be wanting to bang his head somewhere, cursing the co-author to the depths of his soul, thinking I'm some kind of implementation of his.

"Cadet Theo Sagan, I apologize for my words."

"It's fine, instructor."

There was no reason for the instructor to apologize. In fact, since there was no information in the records about what weapon I used, the instructor wanted to clear up his doubts, as a hero without a weapon is like a cat adrift at sea.

Instructor Kim Soohyuk left the room, and I canceled my spells.

After leaving the room and walking for a bit, I found myself in an even larger room than the Weapon Selection Room.

As soon as I entered, other people came in as well.

Specifically, two people walking side by side approached me.

"Hello! I'm Kim Suho, nice to meet you. That back there was amazing."

The blue-haired young man stretched out his hand to greet me. This was the guy destined to become the greatest hero in the world, and also the protagonist alongside Hajin.

"Ah? It was nothing. Nice to meet you, Kim Suho and Chae Nayun. You probably already know, but my name is Theo Sagan, so feel free to call me Theo."

Accepting his greeting, I also stretched out my hand and shook his, then greeted the girl beside him. My heart raced just looking at her.

As one of the main heroines, Nayun's beauty was truly something to behold. Her green eyes and long brown hair accentuated her youthful beauty even more. She wore a hooded long-sleeve shirt and blue pants, one of the Cube uniform sets. Seeing her in person was really another story, especially if she was someone you liked.

"Uh! That is, uh!"

Suho was at a loss for words.

"As you can see, I come from the other side of the world, so you know, the order of names isn't that important to us. But I still prefer Theo."

"Alright, we'll call you Theo, and you can call me Nayun, and this guy here—feel free to call him Suho."

"Deal!"

The three of us, after the brief introduction, walked toward the area that suited us best. During the short walk, we remained silent. Nayun, with her shorter stature compared to me, occasionally glanced in my direction.

"Theo and Nayun, I'm going to spar against the dummies."

As soon as we arrived in front of a green field area that stretched over 1,000 meters, Kim Suho bid us farewell and went straight ahead. As a swordsman, Suho headed to the close-range training area. And we continued to the shooting range.

"Ugh! That idiot! He calls me to train and then bails."

A small frown of displeasure reflected on her beautiful face as she watched Suho head elsewhere.

Anyone watching might think she had some interest in the opposite sex at this early stage of the story. But in reality, it was due to her complex rivalry with those stronger than her.

"Ahaha!..."

Remembering some of her scenes from the original, I started to laugh.
