Tutorial Target: I Farmed Skills While They Beat Me For 1,000 Years

They called it the "Tutorial Village." I called it hell. For one thousand years, I was the wooden practice dummy that every new player hacked at to learn their first skill. Warriors burned me. Rogues stabbed my kidneys. Mages used me for target practice while I screamed soundlessly, respawning instantly, feeling every goddamn hit. The System classified me as [E-Rank Monster: Immortal]. Bullshit. I was the bitch of the starter zone. But the System made one mistake: it didn't cap my skill acquisition. Every sword that cut me, every fireball that melted my face, every arrow that pierced my eye, I learned it. At 0.01% power. Stored it. Hoarded it like a dragon with a grudge. After ten million beatings, I had every skill in the game. I just couldn't use them. NPC code. Frozen. Helpless. Until Sung Min-ho walked in. Rank #1. The "Perfect Hero." The asshole who holds the speedrun record for fastest tutorial clear. He needed to shave 0.4 seconds off his time. So he hit me with his ultimate skill, something no one had ever used on a practice dummy before. And for the first time in a millennium, the pain broke the code. I moved. I caught his blade. I looked that smug bastard in the eye and said: "Welcome to the fucking tutorial." Now I'm loose in a world that treated me like furniture. I've got 10,000 skills at 0.01% power, a healing potion addiction, and a list of every player who's ever hit me. They practiced on me. Now I'm going to practice on them.
