Became a war hero of the academy

001. Eugene Carter (1)

“What a fucking piece of crap game!”

I was about to habitually type on the keyboard when I suddenly stopped.

I’ve lost over 30 keyboards playing this crappy game. I have to hold on.

Instead, I grabbed both hands full of the stress balls that were next to me.

“Oh, shit! I’m so dirty I won’t do it!”

I repeatedly pressed ALT F4 to close all the windows and leaned back in my chair.

When I double-clicked the small icon at the bottom of the monitor to go to the homepage, a single line of sentences greeted me.

― Completed 999 out of 1,000 challenges (99.9%)

As soon as I saw that, all the efforts I had put in came back to me.

“…How can this really not work?”

It probably won’t work.

It’s already been 10 years since I started trying with the hope that I might get a chance.

I already knew it myself.

That no strategy, no luck, can clear this mission.

, aka MAGA.

Although it appears to be a typical breeding simulation game, it is characterized by a wide range of objectives and difficulties depending on the various modes and conditions.

The basic objective of this game, which has the same acronym as President Mo’s presidential campaign slogan, is to save the failing academy.

And the mode I’m currently obsessed with is Apocalypse mode, which boasts the most extreme difficulty in MAGA.

In [Apocalypse Mode], raise the overall evaluation of [Imperial Academy ‘Carvena’] and [five main characters] to [S Rank] [within 2 years] and maintain it [for at least 5 years].

This was the last challenge I failed to crack.

Anyone who has cleared this game even once can sympathize with its extreme difficulty.

After four years of bullshit, I managed to meet five of the conditions, but the last one held me back.

Well, that can’t be helped.

In the third year, one out of five will definitely die.

Ethel Livenia.

Michelle Bernhard.

Karen Rosefield.

Francia Brida.

Rubia Magnus.

Over the next six years, I saved and rescued these characters countless times, but one of them inevitably died.

We couldn’t save everyone.

No matter what.

… Maybe that’s what the developers wanted to say to the users.

The world cannot be saved unless someone makes a sacrifice.

“Nimi, shit. I just let it go.”

Even the last time there was a bug fix was three years ago.

A game of dead games that even veterans have lost interest in.

That’s what MAGA said.

I’m going to quit now too

I’ve been playing this fucking game for a really long time

I want to go back to a time when Maga didn’t know about it, damn it

A message board where the last post by anyone other than me was 13 months ago.

Of course, it’s a post that no one will comment on and no one will read.

Still, I wanted to leave one last record.

That was my honest feeling.

This is how we say goodbye.

I can’t help but laugh when I see the end result of a game that I spent most of my 20s with.

As I was thinking those thoughts, the screen started blinking.

I pressed F5 without thinking, or it seemed to have refreshed automatically.

My gaze instinctively turned towards the comments.

Total comments 1

Yeah(???.??) | So I sent it to you^^

“…uh?”

That was my last memory of this life.

* * *

Eugene Carter, from Imperial Rivenia Parcel.

The 16th graduate of the Imperial Academy ‘Carvena’, the youngest officer in the Imperial Special Forces, the youngest battalion commander, and the youngest recipient of the Medal of Honor.

He was once called the future of the empire, but he lost everything with one act of recklessness.

In the battle to annihilate the S-rank demons in the border area, he was surprised by the S-rank demon ‘Incurable Sabnak’ and lost 90% of his mana hearts, falling into a coma.

Sabnak, who had already suffered a fatal wound, was destroyed in the ensuing battle, but the ‘incurable curse’ he left behind continued to haunt him.

“There will be no problem in carrying out daily life… but it seems impossible to recover as a soldier.”

After that, he spent his life on drugs and alcohol.

The glorious past disappeared without a trace in just one year.

His once muscular and toned body had lost all its flesh and muscle, and was now emaciated.

I don’t know where he was looking, but his eyes were unfocused.

Her chapped lips trembled with signs of addiction.

Even his colleagues who had been watching him for a long time unanimously agreed.

That he would never return to the scene.

After so many years, six years have passed.

Suddenly, at the end of the slow month of February, he showed up.

The empire’s most elite group.

To the Imperial Special Forces.

Fuck, fuck.

I didn’t think the swear words stuck in my mouth would fall off.

‘Now I’m getting into trouble because of typos.’

I was standing tall in front of the main gate of the special forces headquarters, grumbling all the time.

It looked like he was barely holding on to his legs with a cane, as if they would collapse at any moment.

A post saying goodbye to a 10-year journey, and a comment that suddenly appeared.

I lost consciousness as if I was underwater, and when I woke up I was here.

It didn’t take long to figure out the situation.

Familiar backgrounds, familiar names, a world that reacts to the word ‘status’ that is casually shouted out, and members who are not at all flustered when they see the status window that appears before their eyes.

I could quickly figure out that this was the famous ‘Hwibinghwan’.

I could tell right away that this was MAGA’s world.

Remaining task: Clear the game while satisfying the following conditions:

[Mode: Apocalypse] [Affiliation: Imperial Academy]

[Condition 1: Survival of all main characters]

[Condition 2: Comprehensive evaluation of the Academy and all main characters must be S-rank or higher] [Condition 2-1: Within 2 years]

[Condition 3: Maintaining the rank] [Condition 3-1: 5 years or more]

‘Meanwhile, the challenge remains the same, dammit.’

Anger welled up in me, but then I thought about it again and nodded my head.

No, isn’t that better?

In reality, it’s a mission that I couldn’t break even after 6 years of bullshit.

If you’re giving me this last chance, why should I refuse?

The problem is that this world is currently in apocalypse mode, where destruction is certain.

MAGA’s internal playtime is exactly six years.

Originally, all evaluations were completed in March of the 6th year and the GAME CLEAR message was displayed, but that was only when I was in reality.

At least for me now, this is not a game, and starting over is impossible.

That doesn’t mean I currently have loop or regression abilities.

In fact, it would be safe to say that this episode is the first and last opportunity.

This may be a discouraging fact for some people from the start.

As a MAGA veteran, there could be no greater motivation for me.

‘I will definitely survive until the end.’

Even if you die, don’t worry too much! When you open your eyes again, you’ll be in reality!

I wonder if there is even a similar guide.

I met death with careless judgment, but what if it was my real death?

Shit, it’s so unfair that I’m glad I don’t turn into a ghost.

‘Let’s die after completing the last task.’

Since it’s a task that has to be completed anyway, it would be great if I could find a way to survive in the process.

It would be nice to save the world while also saving others, but that’s not something we need to worry about right now.

Because it’s not the world I have to save, it’s them.

Let’s look over there with those thoughts in mind.

I saw soldiers in full uniform approaching me.

“Vena Liberia!”

The front line member saluted and chanted.

A slogan meaning ‘Honor to the Empire’.

Almost all countries use a salute in the form of the word “Bena” before their country name.

“I will take you to the command center, Colonel.”

“egg plant.”

With my hands full of strength holding onto my cane, I began to walk.

* * *

Imperial Special Forces 3rd floor command center.

The agents at the scene momentarily doubted whether they were hallucinating.

Despite possessing the greatest talent in the empire, he failed to make good use of it, became arrogant and ambitious, and ended up in a miserable ending. He is the most representative example of a negative role model for the imperial army.

That Eugene Carter is back on the scene!

Have you run out of money you saved up?

Or maybe you’re trying to snatch the alcohol and drugs confiscated by the special forces?

Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to visit here.

Not only the regular soldiers but also the officers thought the same.

Especially those who were his contemporaries.

The same was true for his academy classmate and special forces colleague, Colonel Eric Balfour.

“That piece of trash is back?”

After receiving the tip, Belfour ran straight to the special forces leader’s office where Eugene was headed.

There I was able to reunite with my old colleagues.

As soon as he entered, he saluted the special forces leader.

“Vena Liberia!”

“Hey, what’s going on, 3rd Battalion Commander?”

“I came to hear that Colonel Carter ‘former’ has returned, sir.”

Of course, the main purpose is this.

His gaze was always fixed on Eugene.

“You’re still as shameless as ever, Carter.”

“You’re still the same, Belfour. The contemptuous look in your eyes, the stupid corners of your mouth.”

Wiggle.

For a moment, I had the urge to throw that wretched body over and crush its head.

Belfour did his best to keep his composure.

The opponent is the fastest-growing player in history. He was a force that no one dared to look down on during his prime, but now the situation has completely reversed.

Even a quick glance would tell you the difference.

His once sturdy shoulders were hunched, and his eyes showed no strength.

His pupils were cloudy and the corners of his mouth were swollen and scarred.

Even basic rehabilitation seemed to have been neglected, as his legs were shaking and even his hands holding the cane were trembling.

Compared to the heyday, it’s a world of difference.

It was a miracle I was able to walk this far.

Even if you try to incite competition in the current guy, it will only end up as bullying the weak.

Ahem.

A cough interrupted the strange air flowing between them.

“You can resolve your regrets later. So, what brings you to see this special task force leader, Colonel?”

“I’m thinking of slowly ending my life as a loser and starting to live in the present.”

“…hmm?”

Eugene looked back and forth between the two of them and smiled faintly.

“Please reinstate me, Captain.”
