1 – Game Start
“f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck…… “
He buried his face in the pillow and continued to curse.
How long have you been like this?
“F***ck…… “
I had been doing this for quite a long time, wondering if it would be okay if I cursed, but the stuffiness in my chest showed no sign of going away.
‘If it’s natural, is it natural?’
In the first place, I wasn’t the type to go around swearing.
‘Eh, let’s stop.’
Even if I lie down, my mood doesn’t improve, and even if I curse, stuffiness doesn’t go away.
On the contrary, because I talked too much, only the sore throat was added.
‘I should at least drink some water.’
And in order to do that, I really hated it, but I had to lift my face buried in the pillow.
‘…… We can’t keep going like this.’
After quietly resolving, I raised my head slightly.
Then, with the light in the eyes hidden by the pillow, I saw a room with a strangely familiar shape even though it was clear that I was seeing it for the first time.
I let out a sigh at that familiarity and muttered a word I thought I would never say in my life.
“Status window.”
Tee-Ring-
[Status]
Name: Yoojin Do
Level: 1
Attribute: [Invisible Hermit (3★)]
Strength: 5
AGI: 5
Stamina: 5
INT: 5
mana: 5
“…… No, what are you going to do if it comes out for real?”
A grumble automatically jumps out of her mouth.
Maybe it’s just an illusion?
I suddenly had such a hopeful thought and stared at the status window.
But that didn’t mean that the status window turned into a delicious donut or other happy things.
“Why are you doing this to me?”
I quietly looked around the room.
‘As expected, it’s the same room where the game’s tutorial begins.’
Thanks to that, I definitely felt it.
“Ehh…… “
That means I’m screwed.
◎ ◎ ◎
There is a game with a common name called [Circle Academy].
For reference, the contents are as obvious and common as the name.
Because it was about the main character gathering talent and heroines to prevent the destruction of the world.
Incidentally, the graphics are a bit outdated, so it’s a game that feels outdated at a glance.
But even so, [Circle Academy] Was called God Game by people.
Through the excellent story and the overwhelming degree of freedom, just those two things.
I said that because there are still a lot of broadcasters who are professionally digging into this game even after 10 years have passed.
By the way, I am one of the many viewers who watch the [Circle Academy] Strategy broadcast.
No, aren’t you just one of the many viewers?
As for the number of broadcasts that I watch regularly, I easily passed 20, and I went to TreeWiki from time to time to write or change documents.
Perhaps it would be good to say that he is one of the most noticeable among the viewers.
However, although I have a lot of interest in games, I have never actually played this game myself.
The reason was simple, but it was just annoying to do it myself.
By my personality, I liked to organize things while studying and researching various things, and to experiment with new things.
And in order to do that, it was necessary to develop various characters, but it was more comfortable to just watch other people do it through video rather than taking the time to continue doing it with my own hands.
Fortunately, I was named in the [Circle Academy] Gallery, to the extent that if I wrote down an idea for character development, the next day, perverted old person broadcasters would try various things with it.
Thanks to that, I was able to solve my curiosity comfortably without moving my hands and without wasting time.
Not only that, but sometimes I could see novel concept plays based on my ideas.
While I was having such a fun and satisfying day, the day finally came.
‘…… I’ve seen it all.’
Gallery, Nutube, Continent, Bellflower, etc.
I’ve been looking around all over the place for about a month, but I couldn’t find a play video that gave me a fresh and fun feeling.
As usual, I threw a few crazy ideas into the gallery.
– Now, he’s like drinking water.
-It looks interesting, but is this possible with human control?
– Brain Fiscial Settlement Chung, your limits are finally being revealed.
Maybe it was because I wrote a meta that was too perverted, so it was only buried in swearing.
‘Is it finally time to use that method?’
So I downloaded and played the game with the feeling that a thirsty person is digging the ground.
“But I never thought this would happen…… “
A sigh escaped automatically from his mouth.
‘I wouldn’t have been so unfair if there had been at least some precursory symptoms such as the laptop glowing or a truck falling from the sky.’
To be specific, I felt more injustice and despair than when I found out that the character I thought was a woman in the preview was actually a Futanari character.
No, that’s good.
If I knew that the character I was attacking was Futanari, I would naturally delete the game and leave a review saying I would recommend it to men who manage their butt hair, so I just had to respond in my own way now.
‘Aside from that, it’s not all that bad.’
Think positively.
I think it’s pretty good news that a 20-year-old man is possessed without TS and is experiencing rejuvenation.
Thanks to that, it became unclear whether or not I would be able to return to my original world, but I managed to cover it up with a smile.
Because I didn’t have family or friends in the original world.
Ha ha ha!
Ahahahaha!
Haa……
“Seriously, why is my life like this?”
No, actually, it’s all lies.
My face is stiff, so I can’t smile.
It’s not because I originally left something behind in this world or because of the various problems I had after falling into this world.
No, to be precise, it’s because of them, but they’ve been pushed back because of other, more serious problems.
“Why did you fall into this game anyway?”
As I said earlier, [Circle Academy] Boasted a great degree of freedom.
And that also meant that there were a lot of endings, and that was the problem.
The creators of this game must have gathered only masochists, apocalypseists, and Illuminati, and 90% of the endings were bed endings.
‘In addition, the level of difficulty is also an issue.’
[Circle Academy] Allows you to select the desired difficulty level before starting the game. There are a total of five difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, Hell, and Lunatic.
And if my predictions are correct, this world seemed to be built on a Lunatic difficulty level.
Because the number 5 was written all over the status.
‘Why does the Easy difficulty start with an average status of 30, but the Lunatic difficulty starts with an average status of 5?’
Of course not.
At first glance, I saw my face reflected in the window, but at a glance, it was not the face of the handsome and beautiful protagonist and her colleagues.
In other words, it wasn’t because of the difficulty, but because this body was originally an extra’s shabby body that would have moved while blending into the background, there was a possibility that the stats were low.
‘But when it comes to something ominous, my almost prescient sense is screaming that this world is lunatic difficulty…… ‘
Well, just because I know that doesn’t mean I can do anything right away, and it’s something I’ll come to know naturally in the future, so I didn’t have to look into it right away.
Maybe that’s why I was more concerned about this body now.
‘Due to the game settings, the average status of non-superhuman adult males was 10.’
When I thought about it that way, it meant that my body was at a level where I could engage in a close arm wrestling match with a slender beautiful girl.
‘Really…… ‘
Buddha is also the beginning to say no.
Haa, good. Let’s put aside the fact that Buddha actually has a hobby of studying English and put things aside.
First of all, a beginner who has never played a game fell into a lunatic difficulty level game world.
Secondly, it is not the body of the only main character in this world who is possessed, but the body of an extra guy whose name has never been heard.
Hmm-
“I don’t know how this is different from just biting your tongue and dying.”
Perhaps it was because there was no hope in sight, my eyes looked darker than when I heard that I had been deployed to the front line.
Of course, Lunatic difficulty also had its own advantages.
There were quite a few things like hidden pieces and events that could only be obtained by selecting the lunatic difficulty.
‘Although it’s a floating rumor, there was a saying that you must select the Lunatic difficulty level to see the true ending of this game.’
In other words, it is insanely difficult, but it has its own charm for passionate gamers.
‘But that’s only an advantage when it’s a game.’
As long as the game turned into reality, that kind of advantage was as useless as the fat belly of a man in his 50s.
Ehh-
‘A 20-year-old, just becoming an adult, I have to worry about world peace, not my university grades.’
I was staring at the ceiling blankly, then I checked the universal machine of this world, the device next to me.
‘February 22nd. It’s not just the location, it’s also timed to the time the game first starts.’
We also checked the time of both sides.
9:00 A.M. As far as I remember, the opening ceremony, the entrance ceremony, must be at 10:00 a.M.
‘There is still plenty of time. Is it luck out of misfortune?’
This amount of time should be enough to calm your mind……
Push-
“Not the same.”
I assure you.
I can’t calm this even if it’s not an hour, but a day.
‘What were the main characters in the novels I read doing?’
What? Because I possessed a game, is it my world now?
Can I replace the original main character?
If there was a guy who said that in front of me right now, he could land a screw punch right in the stomach.
I was an orphan without a family, but I did my best and managed to make a home for myself.
But I wasn’t victimized by voice phishing, I just threw them all away and from now on I live with monsters dying and killing them day by day……
“I really hate it.”
Yes, if you monopolize the hidden pieces everywhere, it might be possible to grow explosively and take the place of the main character.
Then you will be able to enjoy things that are incomparable to what you have lost now.
‘But I’m not really interested in those things.’
No, to be precise, it wasn’t that I wasn’t interested.
I like to shut myself up in a corner of the house, but I still like money because I’m a snobbish person.
‘However, if the condition is that I must go through a life-and-death risk before that, it’s the other way round.’
To me, a quiet day enjoying hobbies and donuts at home after finishing trivial tasks was more attractive than a luxurious daily life obtained by overcoming such risks.
‘The most comfortable way is to just leave the main character to take care of everything and then drop out of the academy…… It’s too much.’
As long as there is a possibility that this world is Lunatic Difficulty, we couldn’t just leave the main characters alone.
I had to give all the opportunities in the world to the main character’s party, and I had to make the board itself a board for the main character by breaking the strategy of the enemies that would unfold around the academy.
That way the main character won’t die and the world won’t collapse.
“…… If it becomes clear that the difficulty is easy, would you choose to just leave everything to the main character and run away?”
I thought about that for a while, but naturally shook my head.
‘Still, I would have stayed at the academy.’
No matter how small the odds are, there’s no way I could just put my heart on the gambling board and stay still.
“Haa, really…… “
I put my forehead together and summarized the current situation.
From now on, I have to hinder the movement of the enemies while helping the protagonist grow.
In this way, you can protect this world from destruction by blocking the enemy’s movement and at the same time making the main character strong.
Also, from now on, I have to get out of sight of all the main characters, including the main character and the heroine.
So you can live a peaceful life without getting caught up in the vortex of events that will happen around the main character.
“The difficulty is insane.”
It feels like you are already on the floor, and in that state you dig a hole and walk into it.
‘I really don’t want to do it.’
Sug-
But there was no other option, so I had no choice.
I stopped grumbling and stood up.
It is 9:30 now, and I had to leave the dormitory to go to the venue where the freshman welcome party was held.
“Haa, I’m going to die, really.”
With a teary face, I muttered something out of habit and walked out the door.
Whether you like it or not, it’s time to start the game.
