#Episode 252, Conditions of Possession

The plan to reveal the coordinates with a camera was revised at the recommendation of the platoon leader, Ha-seon Kwon.

This is because they were able to communicate with headquarters through military radio channels.

To prevent accidents, the military has decided to distribute different spot coordinates to each country.

It was decided that the country would proceed by assigning numbers to volunteer organizations within the country.

Of course, the process would take quite a bit of time, but once the system was created, there would be no additional preparation time for newly secured coordinates.

“I think it would be over 2,000, right? “There are more than a few familiar foreign heroes.”

Kwon Ha-seon, who was staring at the rapidly increasing troops at the platoon leader’s words, nodded.

“The value of Han Seongjun’s name is great… .”

“What does this have to do with the value of my name? “They’re just saying they’re sorry about our situation and want to help.”

I tried to correct Ha-seon Kwon’s words, but she snorted and refuted what I said.

“If there was so much charity in the world, the world’s three major fronts would have already disappeared before the Rak Vishia kids showed up. Why did Croatia and Colombia fail? “If it weren’t for you, I don’t think we would be any different.”

Even if what Ha-seon Kwon said is correct,

It’s hard to fight back when someone compliments me to my face.

“… … anyway. Let’s stop at this point. “I have to go to another area and get it again.”

“ah. All right.”

He was saying this while looking at Kwon Ha-seon, but the platoon leader next to him understood what he was saying and immediately picked up the radio.

“Are you going now?”

Eat.

Although we are in the midst of disaster,

I saw a young Kwon Ha-seon chasing after his older brother in the neighborhood.

My conscience is still tingling, but I was glad that Kwon Ha-seon’s mind was relieved.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Of course I should go. The whole country must be like this… . No, it will be more serious in places other than the metropolitan area.”

“Well, that’s right. The situation in front of me is so crazy that I keep forgetting it. okay. Let’s see once everything is sorted out.”

“huh.”

As I turned around and was carrying the man lying on the floor on my shoulder, Ha-seon Kwon said in an incomprehensible tone.

“I really… . Just let me go. “What kind of trouble are you doing?”

***

31-year-old Koo Chang-su thought the world was unfair.

A dirt spoon graduate from a local university.

By the time I realized that I should have studied harder, I had already been thrown into the world.

There were no second chances for him.

I could not expect any financial support from my family,

Because I started studying late, I had no confidence in winning the competition.

No, why do you have to compete with your studies?

Born with good genes,

If I had lived in a good home, ate good food, and had a good tutor, I might have done well.

Beans grow where beans are planted… .

It wouldn’t have been unfair if he had been given at least athletic ability and artistic sense.

Someone says this:

‘That’s the way you are because you keep finding excuses and complaining.’

There is nothing to refute.

However, I thought that each person was born with different limits to the disabilities they could handle.

Born to be.

‘Gaecheon Yong’ was also born with extraordinary will and courage.

If you don’t have that kind of will and courage, you need to be born with a personality that can manage interpersonal relationships well.

Gu Chang-soo, who suffered from group bullying and school violence, became accustomed to looking for things he lacked compared to others at a young age.

Why do I have to go through this?

Why am I the only one experiencing this?

Why only me… .

What am I different from others?

What is lacking… .

The excuse was the reason he wouldn’t die,

Complaining was a consolation to myself.

Still, I felt intimidated.

My self-esteem fell,

The motivation to try new things has weakened.

So I hid in a corner of the room.

Then I came across ‘Lost Korea 2033.’

Gu Chang-su was born there and saw a fair world for the first time.

‘Ah, fuck… . I never thought it would be applied to NPCs… . huh?’

Flashing.

Gu Chang-su, who regained consciousness, took a deep breath.

“Hmph! haha-.”

When Gu Chang-soo opened his eyes, what unfolded right in front of him was a landscape of land rushing by in the distance.

‘omg!’

And the bottoms of the man who was strangling him… .

Gu Chang-su realized that he was now on the man’s shoulders and trembled.

It was only then that I realized the fear of the man’s state.

‘Magic… What is it? ‘Is it that fast?’

What was surprising wasn’t just ‘agility’.

What about this high-speed flight that is rarely seen as a fly?

At that time, the man suddenly stopped flying.

Gu Changsu instinctively closed his eyes.

Shuuuuk—!

However, I slowly raised my eyelids again at the bloody sound of a blast coming from higher in the sky.

bang! bang! Quagwagwang!

Coogung! Quang! bang! bang! Quagwang!

Quang! Bang bang!

‘Wow, crazy… !’

Gu Chang-soo, who was lifted up to look at the ground, was blanched as he saw hundreds of meteorite chunks bombarding the ground.

Meteor… , and a Meteor in flight!

‘Where on earth did this guy come from?’

Gu Chang-soo, who was lost in confused questions, heard the man muttering to himself.

“Whoa… . “It would be nice here.”

Gu Chang-su closed his eyes again and went limp.

The wind passed by my face and my body was thrown away.

dump!

‘Ugh!’

Because my eyes were closed, I was not prepared for the impact of hitting the floor.

The man’s voice continues.

“Are you awake?”

“… … .”

Gu Changsu did not respond.

“I was panting earlier… .”

“… … .”

If I thought it was going to happen right away, I would have tried my best to fall when I was thrown.

“Get up before I kick you in the head.”

“!”

Gu Chang-soo was startled and jumped up.

‘Fuck… .’

The man asked with a grin.

“Are you completely out of your mind?”

“… … “What are you planning to do with me?”

“I’ll just ask you a few questions and then let you go.”

“… “Ask.”

Gu Chang-soo internally gritted his teeth with relief.

The patronizing words touched his disgust.

The self-esteem I finally regained after coming to this world.

‘Insolent NPC bastard… . Let’s meet again after farming.’

The thing I was most afraid of in Romance 33, which became reality, was Han Sang-cheol, the boss of Chapter 1.

That you won’t be able to retry-

Although it was uncertain, it was due to instinctive belief.

But in reality, this was not General Han’s world,

None of the missions in Chapter 1 related to him went well.

It was strange, but for a high-ranking player, such a situation presented an opportunity for rapid growth.

Wasn’t it because of the interference from General Han’s forces that made it difficult to grow in Chapter 1 in the first place?

Thanks to this, Gu Chang-soo, who had already surpassed the average growth rate of one chapter in just a few days, was full of confidence.

That was the reason why he was confident that he could rob Kwon Ha-seon.

Although I was embarrassed that chapters 2 to 5 were suddenly opened at once,

I thought I was already ready for the upper chapters.

‘But it wasn’t… . Farming needs to be done more quickly.’

Kwon Ha-seon was also stronger than the game,

Because I was intimidated by an NPC I had never heard of.

Gu Chang-soo suddenly felt eyes observing him and put his thoughts aside.

“… … Why aren’t you saying anything? “Didn’t you say you wanted to ask something?”

“uh… , I was thinking where to start. “What’s your name?”

“Full deck… “No, it’s Goo Chang-su.”

Koo Chang-soo unknowingly brought up the character’s nickname ‘Fuldexkel’ and then changed his words.

“okay. It’s Changsu. “Welcome to the world of Romance 33.”

“… … !”

Gu Chang-soo opened his eyes wide.

Fluttering.

I took a step back and fell down.

He had been possessed by the game, but he wondered if there would be anything more surprising.

But what was happening now was something that overturned the common sense he had managed to understand and accept.

Gu Chang-soo hurriedly clicked on the settings tab in the corner of his field of vision and activated ‘Show NPC name above head’.

As expected, the name 【Han Seong-jun】 appeared in light blue letters above his head.

‘N, it’s an NPC… ?’

Players are displayed in light green,

Major NPCs are yellow,

This is because all other miscellaneous characters are displayed in light blue.

“why. “Is this your first time seeing an NPC that recognizes the world?”

“… … .”

Gu Chang-soo quickly racked his brain to understand this horrifying situation.

‘He’s not the same player as me… If you know the system… .’

“omg! “No way!”

“no way. … what.”

Why were you brought here?

Or, the question of who did it was a topic he had agonized over many times.

His status is close to that of a bug… .

The puzzle fits together.

“City, are you the owner of the system?”

“… … .”

A man named Han Seongjun opened his eyes wide and then laughed out loud.

And he pointed to Gu Chang-su and said.

“You bastard… . “Are you a genius?”

Gu Chang-soo couldn’t control the emotions that were surging.

He didn’t really know why he was crying at this moment.

“uh… , why, why are you crying? It’s a joke. No, whether it’s a joke or not, is this something to cry about?”

The Transcendent said something, but

Gu Chang-soo, already exhausted, could not hear properly.

Resentment toward the real transcendent?

Rather, it was closer to relief.

no… , it was both.

Resentment for a past that was not cared for.

Relief that I was chosen, albeit late.

At the same time, I had doubts.

“why… , Why did I come in here!”

“… Well, that’s fine. “How many hours did you play?”

“yes? ah… . “I don’t know exactly, but I remember receiving compensation for 10,000 hours.”

“In two years? You crazy bastard… . “Have you just stayed in the corner of the room?”

“Was that a condition?”

“what? hmm… , that might have been the condition.”

The Transcendent says,

He said it was to save marginalized souls.

***

‘You’re worse than me… .’

I also mostly played games except for the time I ate, slept, and showered. If you ran at least 1,000 hours more than me, that means you even reduced your physiological activity.

In any case, it is a credible story that the condition for the player’s possession is ‘stagnant water’.

This is because the time a player spends is generally proportional to their ‘strength’.

Why did Marduk put in an irrelevant human (player)?

Ultimately, the goal is to obtain a strong disruptor.

A player who has been around longer than me,

A player who had a better understanding of builds than me.

Now that administrator privileges are gone,

The only thing I’m better than them is that I got there first.

‘If we give it more time, it could become a real threat.’

… Anyway, I don’t know why I cried.

“As for other players who are in contact.”

Gu Chang-soo wiped his eyes and answered.

“uh… . There are no friendly players. Originally, I only did solo farming.”

‘I guess I’ve been farming ever since I started the game.’

If you had looked up a little bit of information, you wouldn’t have known that I am the son of the famous ‘Fuck General’.

The ring he wore on his middle finger caught my eye.

A ring worn on both sides in an extreme-agility setting.

I could tell just by looking at that I had already gotten a pair at this point.

Anyway, they also look at the UI,

It seems that it even serves as a community function.

Even convenience is superior to me.

“then… .”

I wanted to ask for your nickname, but

I was a little reluctant about that part.

Just as saying ‘Romance 33’ to people in this world feels like a denial of existence,

The moment I heard the player’s nickname, I felt like I would assimilate to their side.

Empathy, understanding, compassion. These were virtues I had to avoid.

Anyway, their position was that of a disruptor.

I don’t know what it will be like right now, but

One day, Marduk may suddenly give me a mission to kill me.

But now, we must first overcome the disaster in front of us.

It’s just a slightly different event for players… No, as I felt, it may seem like a ‘good farming season’,

Now this place was real and home to me.

“… no. done. “Go.”

“Well, may I ask one question?”

“uh.”

“If I die here, will I return to the original world or will I really die? Or, I wonder if I will return someday, whether I die or not. “Ah, I’m asking because I have no desire to go back.”

“… … .”

Only then did I realize that he still believed the joke he told me earlier.

When I think about it, I felt like there was something about his attitude, tone of voice, and even the things he said that didn’t match mine.

‘… ‘Are you a little short?’

I answered questions that were asked independently of my thoughts.

“Just die. “There is no way to go back.”

“yes.”

Seeing this strangely relieved guy, I felt strangely pitiful.

what… … It would be helpful to have at least one player.
