I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 5
Only Noblemtl
005.
‘It’s like this···.’
Lee Do-hyeok looked around as if he found it strange.
I didn’t really notice it when I was in the broadcast room decorated like a real room, but when the background changed, it felt like virtual reality all over again.
Just looking at the sensations, such as the peculiar musty smell of the abandoned house and the way it suddenly became night, it felt identical to reality.
‘I feel a little uneasy.’
That was because Lee Do-hyeok had a sense that was more outstanding than others. In normal cases, it would not be any different from reality.
Just looking at Ji-an’s appearance, it seemed like she was stuck to Lee Do-hyuk’s back as if she was in an abandoned house.
“Ugh···”
-I’m so jealous···
-Scared Chu is cute
-Aren’t you selling the ticket?
The opening scene continues like that.
To summarize the story in the opening scene, it was like this.
‘You said you received a letter from your missing ex-wife and came to look for her with your current wife. When you went to the address written on the letter, it was this abandoned house.’
Since it was an opening scene where the story progressed on its own, the scenes passed by as if I was watching a movie.
It begins with a couple talking to each other in front of an abandoned house.
“Ethan, are you sure? Chloe’s in a place like this?”
“If it is as it is written in the letter.”
Husband Ethan and wife Ellie hesitate to enter the abandoned house in front of them.
Naturally, Lee Do-hyeok was Ethan and Ji-an was Ellie.
The game background explanation continued through Ethan and Ellie’s conversation.
‘So Ellie and Chloe were best friends in high school? But Ethan broke up with Chloe and married Ellie? Maybe because it’s an American game. The relationship is quite dramatic.’
He’s marrying his ex-wife’s best friend.
Lee Do-hyuk watches the opening scene, thinking it is truly amazing.
Meanwhile, Gianchu continued to communicate with the chat window.
“Guys, please give me some tips. I haven’t even looked at the strategy guide at all···”
-Ah, you learn while you’re dying, lol
-First, let’s farm weapons.
-You have to go around and find clues.
Lee Do-hyeok was able to get a general idea of [It Kills To] through the opening scene and explanations in the chat window.
A survival horror game with a hint of action.
The goal of the game seemed to be for two players to work together to avoid enemies and escape the abandoned house.
-You can fight the early mobs alone, but you need to work together well against bosses. -ㅇㅇ There aren’t many weapons that work on bosses… and those that do are just for escaping. -The key is the flashbang. One person has to shoot the flashbang to save the other player while dealing damage. -That’s all for the explanation. ㅋㅋ I’ll stop here because it’d be boring if I spoil it. Still, I guess people don’t want to see Lee Do-hyeok and Ji-an holding on to [It Kills To] for days.
There were viewers who gave me things that could be called tips.
Or it means that the difficulty level is such that it doesn’t matter if you tell them to this extent.
And right then.
“oh.”
“Whoa!”
It feels like the sensation of watching a movie has become one.
It was Lee Do-hyuk who was able to move Ethan’s body directly.
Along with that, a window opens up in front of your eyes.
[Choose a mode]
-Game Mode-
-Reality Mode-
Lee Do-hyeok looked at his younger sister with eyes that expected an explanation.
“Ah! This is for choosing whether or not to use compensation. If you use game mode, you play according to your character’s specs, and if you use reality mode, you play with your real-life physical abilities.”
“Aha. So that’s why you did the scanning earlier.”
“Yeah. That’s when I measured your physical abilities.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Before starting the broadcast, it was Lee Do-hyuk who had his physical abilities measured in the capsule.
Status measurement.
It was also a familiar method to Lee Do-hyeok.
I don’t know the exact principle, but scanning the body to measure a person’s fighting ability was a technique used among hunters.
Perhaps they developed technology in virtual reality and used it on hunters.
-How high are your stats, hyung?
– Judging from his body, he seems to have worked out a lot, but he’s probably over 100kg. – Judging from his forearms, he seems to have worked out consistently for several years, maybe 110? 115?
– Information) Chu’s stat is 49. It is 20 lower than the average adult female.
“No! I measured it again and it was 53?!”
-ㅋㅋ I barely got 53 out of 15 attempts
– In my opinion, the scanning AI keeps re-measuring so much that it’s annoying, so it raised the score. – It felt like it was going to fall off after eating the old one.
-Anyway, go to game mode. It’s really hard to break it.
“I was going to press game mode anyway… Huh?”
“···hmm?”
Ji-an looks back at Lee Do-hyeok with a surprised face as she tries to select a mode.
Lee Do-hyuk also looked at Ji-an as if asking why.
[Mode selection complete]
-Reality Mode-
-Ugh lol
-Forced entry into reality mode
-There’s a streamer trying to clear the public game with stat 53?! Before Ppushyongppashyongjian pressed the game mode, Lee Dohyuk had already completed the mode selection.
Of course, it was in reality mode.
“Ah… So this doesn’t just apply to me, it applies to everyone?”
Lee Do-hyuk was also embarrassed.
Lee Do-hyeok was obviously more comfortable in real life, so he tried to proceed in reality mode, but since [It Kills To] is a two-player game, the system applied to both players as soon as one person selected the mode.
That is, not only Lee Do-hyeok, but also Ji-an must play the game in reality mode.
“Oh, brother···”
-Ah, I failed like a dog to clear it on the first try!
-You know that if you restart the game, it will be treated as a retweet, right?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋSafe assets on
Viewers laugh at that sight.
So far, the amount spent on missions cleared in one go has exceeded 1 million won.
Of course, since it was being conducted by two newbies, it was originally a safe asset with no chance of success, but when Lee Do-hyeok chose reality mode, the 0.1% chance changed to a 0.000001% chance.
[It Kills To] is a game where you have to run around like crazy against bosses, even if it’s not a problem against trash mobs.
There was no way that Jianchu, with a total stat of 53, could break it.
A situation that is nearly impossible to clear.
There was no way viewers could miss this opportunity.
[‘Lips-Echu’ has applied for the 1,000,000 won mission.]
– If you clear it within 3 times in real mode, you’ll get a bonus.
Time remaining: 47:59
[‘Jijichu’ has applied for the 500,000 won mission.]
– Enjoy it when you clear real mode. There is no limit to the number of times.
Time remaining: 47:59
Especially when it comes to big-money viewers, ‘Lips-Echu’ and ‘Ji-Ji-Chu’, who have previously competed over clearing missions.
It was a golden opportunity to show off one’s financial prowess by betting on safe assets that had virtually no chance of clearing, as they were now.
[‘Cheonwondonemanham’ has applied for the 100,000 won mission.]
– Big hand play is fun lol. Clear real mode and get 100,000 won
Time remaining: 23:59
Other viewers who saw that scene also started to give missions.
Is there anything more fun than playing big with safe assets?
The mission amount keeps piling up.
Lee Do-hyuk’s eyes lit up when he saw that.
“Hmm. So if you clear the Want in Real Mode… it’ll be about 3 million won total, right?”
-Brother, it’s not that easy lol
-Newbies are cute
-When I first started Full Dive, I thought I could fly around in the game. Of course, Lee Do-hyeok’s confident attitude was just another source of entertainment for the viewers.
A newbie who has never played a full-dive game before confidently chooses real mode and dies immediately.
A few years ago, when full dives first became popular, didn’t countless gamers and streamers have fun showing off their skills?
The original classics were always about not betraying people.
Many gamers who underestimated full-dive in previous VR games because they thought the physics were good were disappointed.
There were viewers who overlapped with them and Lee Do-hyuk’s current appearance.
-Let’s proceed quickly.
-Open the abandoned house door and go down to the second basement level, and it starts properly.
-You can farm pistols there lol
Now, there are viewers who even help with the game’s progress.
Lee Do-hyeok and Ji-an followed the instructions and entered the second basement level.
Squeak-
A door opens with an unpleasant friction sound.
Upon entering, what you see is the corpse of an adult male.
“Whoa!”
When Ji-an saw that, she screamed.
-Scream restaurant
-It’s already deliciousㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅋㅋㅋScream umai~
-Look through the body.
“Oh, Oppa, do it.”
A corpse that appears to have been dead for a long time, but is not decomposed, perhaps due to trauma.
Lee Do-hyeok searched through the corpse’s bosom.
Naturally, it’s a pretty familiar movement.
Corpse hair was a basic skill of those living in a ruined era.
-Oh, you’re familiar with routing.
-Did you have a crush on someone when you were young?
-Ah …
What they found was a pistol and an axe.
Lee Do-hyeok, who handed the pistol to Ji-an, grabbed the hatchet.
-The axe damage is really bad lol
-Give me an axe and I’ll give you a gun
-You can’t hit it even if you give it a shot… Don’t you know that the legendary 3 magazines hit 0?
– Information) Even the shooting compensation was in effect
“Brother… I’m not confident with guns….”
“Really? Then you’re confident about the hatchet?”
For Lee Do-hyuk, it was a question born out of pure curiosity.
“······.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ugh lol
-Is it because they are siblings? This house is so good at packing
However, Ji-an’s expression, which seemed to be shocked by Lee Do-hyeok’s words, provided entertainment to the viewers.
-If you want to change, change quickly. A monster will appear soon.
-Spoiler alert ㅡㅡ
-If you don’t tell me even this much, I’ll never wake up in my life.
At that time, a chat window notifying the appearance of the enemy.
Almost at the same time,
Foodduck-!
Something flew from a corner of the quiet room and attacked Lee Do-hyeok and Ji-an.
A bizarre crustacean with a worm-like appearance.
[It Kills To]’s newbie cutter, the neck hugger.
There are as many as four of them!
-? What? There are 4 of them?
-Did you press the wrong difficulty level?
-No, this is real mode, so the difficulty is automatically adjusted?
“Gyaaaah!!!”
Gian screams in surprise.
The wide-open legs of the neck hugger came right in front of her nose.
It was at that time.
Phew!
An axe was stuck in the joint of the neck hugger.
It didn’t end there.
Phew! Sizzle, Phew!
A few blood lines drawn in the air.
“Kkeureuk!”
The neck hugger’s body rolled on the floor.
All four of them.
-???
-What is it?
Of course, the neck hugger is a trash mob.
A mob that can be defeated with one shot if you get the timing right.
But because of the neck hugger’s fast speed, it’s really difficult to get the timing right.
Still, since it’s a game, it’s okay if you get used to the tempo, but that’s only after you get used to it.
The Neck Hugger, which lies still as if it were dead, jumps up and pounces on players as they pass by, is terrifying to those who encounter it for the first time.
A situation where not one, but four neck huggers rushed at you.
But instead of going ‘bang, bang, bang, bang!’ with a gun, you go ‘pook, pook, sizzle, puuk!’ with an axe?
This is also the first time for someone like me who is playing this game, and it’s not even in game mode, but in reality mode?
-No, shit… Explain please.
-What did I see?
-I really don’t know what I saw
There is no way to understand.
A feast of amazing physical abilities never seen before in Gianchu’s broadcasts.
No, I’ve never seen anything like this on any broadcast.
The surprise didn’t end there.
“Whoa, whaaaaah!”
Tadada tatang!
A beat, no, two beats late.
Jianchu, who had his eyes tightly shut at the appearance of the neck hugger, pulled the trigger of the gun that Lee Dohyuk had given him.
I turned towards the neck hugger I had seen before I closed my eyes.
So, now, I’m looking at Lee Do-hyeok, who is wiping the bodily fluid from the neck hugger’s hatchet.
“Ugh!”
“Huh, huh?”
Even if he is Lee Do-hyeok, there is no way he could avoid a bullet fired from an unexpected place.
Bullets rained down randomly due to the inability to overcome the recoil.
Two of them landed on Lee Do-hyeok’s thigh and chest.
Of course, since it was a virtual reality, the pain was reduced, but the character’s blood pressure was not the same.
“······?”
[MISSION FAILED]
-Ethan died-
A black screen follows.
“······.”
A moment of silence.
[‘Military service female middle school student’ donated 1,000 won.]
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seriously, what did I just see?
With the donations that followed,
Ting- tting-
The sound of a dropped bullet hitting the floor marked the end of the broadcast.
