Possessed in a Game That Is Full of Mods

Small Distortion – 2

‘The emperor ordered me to be watched. I can’t understand the situation.’

The first thought I had was this.

‘I’m sure he’s an idiot.’

My next thought was this.

I don’t know what the Emperor wanted from me, or what he ordered him to do, but I could be sure that it wasn’t meant to be overtly monitoring me.

Who in the world says, “I will watch over you from now on,” and watches over you? Unless the purpose itself is to shrink the target’s behavior with such words.

But when I listened to what this guy was saying, it didn’t seem like it was his intention to shrink my behavior by bringing out such words. In other words, this guy really seriously declared that he would spy on me.

‘Nothing has changed from the game.’

The Knight Commander of the Golden Twilight Knights was an NPC close to the so-called gag character, who was routinely kicked and kicked even in the game. Besides, the personality was also different from each other.

Of course, unlike the lord of this city, who was a nuisance to others because he had the same personality, it was a little different because he was a guy who lived for his pride.

As usual in creative works, if there are two rival groups, one is innocent or good and becomes the protagonist’s helper, and the other is corrupt or relatively bad and interferes with the protagonist at every turn, the two knights of the imperial palace were the same.

The Knights of the Silver Dawn become perfect allies depending on the progress of the story and the choice of route, and sometimes join as colleagues. On the other hand, the Golden Twilight Knights had none of that.

‘And my skills are getting worse.’

The Knights of the Silver Dawn were named bosses with all of the Knights Commanders providing an OST for the boss fight, and the normal Knights who were absorbed into the Knights of the Golden Twilight were also miscellaneous mobs with a special title of ‘elite’.

Conversely, the members of the Golden Twilight Knights were simply called ‘Knights of the Imperial Palace’. Moreover, even the only NPC in front of him, the leader of the knights, was treated as a mid-boss, not a boss.

It was obvious what the producers wanted to say.

“Now, who are you spying on?”

“Hey, stop talking nonsense and explain quickly, right? I’m really trying to get hot right now? What are you doing to our newcomer?”

Hearing that he would be watching me, Rize’s eyes turned cold, and Claudia came up behind her and grabbed her by the shoulder. Claudia’s eyes were also brutal enough to not lose to Rize.

The golden knight didn’t show any sign of hesitation, and responded annoyedly.

“I should have said it earlier. It’s the name of His Majesty the Emperor. For two weeks from today, I have been ordered to keep an eye on new knights who join your Knights of the Silver Dawn.”

“Rookie, did you do something wrong then?”

“You don’t have anything in mind?”

“But why does His Majesty the Emperor… … ?”

“I don’t know. That’s why you’re doing this now.”

The three of us looked at each other and exchanged a few words in a bewildered voice.

It’s real.

I greeted the emperor who arrived here as I did in the game, and the emperor asked a question, so I answered because I couldn’t help but block the attack that came in the middle because if I didn’t block it, I would have died.

After that, there was nothing to do. In the first place, Aurora did everything to stick around the emperor, but I just kept my mouth shut and followed him.

The emperor didn’t bother to talk to me as I quietly followed him.

‘… … Where did it go wrong?’

This was the first time in my life that I was in a situation like this, so when the absurdity went away, my worries raised my head little by little. Obviously, I thought that the main story of the game followed the main story.

In the middle of the process, anyway, as a result, I came into the Knights of the Silver Dawn, as a result, I subjugated the headless ironclad cavalry, and as a result, I used the devil to deal with the lord, and as a result, I passed the meeting with the emperor safely.

The details were a bit different from the game, but that was unavoidable because the mod changed his appearance and personality as well.

But as a result, an incident I had never seen occurred.

It was an unheard-of story that the emperor had sent the captain of the Golden Twilight Knights down to watch over the players. I’ve never even heard of anyone else doing this.

Could it be a hidden hidden event in the game? I thought about it for a while, but soon denied it to myself.

Brunet 4 was a game that had already been data-mined by users, but if there had been such a hidden route, it would have been dug up beforehand and the strategy would have been uploaded intact to the community.

‘for a moment. Even his personality changes?’

When I thought about it, I felt that I could understand the cause of this situation.

The gender and appearance of the NPCs changed, and naturally, their personalities also changed. I wonder if it would be faster to count unchanged characters than changed ones.

So, the reaction to the player’s actions is bound to change as well.

‘… … Write.’

I felt a bitter taste in my mouth when I realized that I hadn’t realized this simple fact until now.

What if the emperor’s personality changed, just like the other characters? What if the situation became more interesting to me than simply praising the player for defending their attack?

‘I’ll have to think about it.’

Apparently, I may have been doing the wrong thinking all along. It seemed like something I needed to think about seriously.

“… … .”

I need it, but I haven’t had the time.

‘Ah, that’s really annoying.’

I trembled inwardly as I heard the footsteps of the golden knight who was still following me from a distance of several meters.

Rize, who followed me to the monster subjugation and watched over me, was a nobleman. No, if it was that kind of gaze, I could have rather happily accepted it. It’s definitely because a busty beauty is looking at you with happy eyes.

But this guy was different. Since he openly declared that he would watch me, he really watched me without missing a beat.

Not only when I was walking around the inside of the castle, but also when I was eating at a restaurant or going to subdue monsters for leveling, I could always see the golden armor in a corner of my field of vision.

Thanks to that, I beat the monsters and came back, so I couldn’t even raise my abilities properly. It was impossible to take stats while he was watching.

What’s even more troubling is the fact that it’s only the second day of surveillance. Two days is enough to kill my nerves, but to have to do this for two weeks, I felt like I was going crazy.

Iris and Erica, who had just returned from patrolling the city a few days ago, looked bewildered at what we had to say, but neither of them seemed to be able to pull it off.

Although he is a thin man with a piercing nose and a proud pride, he is definitely the knight commander who serves His Majesty in the imperial palace.

It meant that he was absolutely not a person who would falsely refer to the emperor. The emperor gave an order to keep an eye on me, but how could we stop it?

However, there was no other way to say it, and it seemed that it was not only me but also the other knight commanders that bothered him.

“Hey, newcomer. Why is he doing that?”

“I don’t know. Originally, it is possible to guess the mind of a smart person, but you can’t follow and guess the mind of an idiot.”

“That’s right. Certainly, his intelligence seems a bit low.”

“I think you heard what I just said?”

“I mean you can hear it. Am I too uncomfortable to the point of dying right now?”

Rize and I whispered to each other before facing the wooden sword. That golden knight was meticulously writing down even that in his notebook. Seeing that, Rize gasped in disgust.

I checked for a moment to see what the hell I was writing, but it was a notebook that recorded my activities.

I was so dumbfounded that I asked him why he was writing something like this, and he even wrote down the fact that I asked why he was writing something like this. It’s not some kind of Joseon era officer, so why the hell are you writing something like that?

‘I can’t think of anything because I’m nervous.’

I had a lot of things to worry about right now, but he was taking away all my nerves, so I couldn’t concentrate. Rize and I took a sigh while sighing.

“So, will it stay like this for a while?”

“I think so. It’s a bit ambiguous because work doesn’t come with a notice, but we don’t have a schedule that we’ve drawn up. Well, unless something happens somewhere else, you won’t have anything else to do, right?”

We wielded wooden swords and exchanged conversations. The sound of trees colliding with each other resounded regularly throughout the gymnasium.

In the end, the story itself seemed to be progressing only after I reached level 20 and unlocked the runes. I can’t be sure now though.

When I deflected all of Rize’s three consecutive hits, my body suddenly became heavy from that point on. I put my legs back and straightened my posture. As battle fatigue gradually subsided, his senses returned.

‘To get rid of debuffs, I need to level up quickly.’

I sighed when I thought about when I would take level 20. This was the problem.

Unlike games where even if you beat all the rubbish mobs in an area, you can respawn without stopping after taking a break at the base, now you have to wait for a certain amount of time.

After raising the level by circling around the area and wiping out the surrounding monsters, the schedule is disrupted until waiting for a respawn.

Little by little, I began to realize that although I was in a game world, it wasn’t really a game.

“It sucks.”

‘… … yes?’

As I was tapping the calculator in my head, saying that I would be able to level 20 and unlock the runes with just one or two more rounds, I heard a sound that seemed to be laughing at us from somewhere.

The source was, of course, the golden knight who was watching over me.

“Hey, what did you just say?”

Rize reacted like a madman and growled. The golden knight spoke again without blinking an eye.

“I said it was inconvenient. It’s a sparring that you can tell the level even by looking at it.”

“If you’re here to monitor new recruits, shut up and do your job. Just the fact that someone like you is here is going to annoy me, so why are you arguing? Do you want to stick together?”

“If we stick together, can we win?”

“You ee-up!”

I covered Rize’s mouth with my hand before the atmosphere became even more threatening. Rize protested with her eyes, asking why, but I tightened my hands and smiled as impressively as possible before opening my mouth.

“I can’t help it because Knight Commander Rize has to match my level. Right now, the only opponents I want to sparr with are the knight commanders. They must have felt that way because we did everything together with enough strength.”

“No matter how much you have to match your skills, it’s so insignificant. Will I be able to fight monsters and survive?”

I’ve already picked up dozens of those monsters. Thousands more are planned in the future. He didn’t even know what he was talking about and wanted to say something, but he hid his true feelings and kept a smile.

“I don’t think that’s something the Knight Commander would even say, right?”

“what?”

The golden knight became irritated at my slight provocation and asked back. He had a very low ignition point.

His ego is extremely strong on a trivial subject, so it must be an unbearable insult for a newcomer to the Knights to say such a thing to him.

As if Rize guessed what was going to happen after seeing my smile, her struggles quieted down.

“Isn’t it? Anyone can do a word of mouth. Seeing that you talk about anything without even coming forward, isn’t it because you’re not confident in your skills? If you were really talented, you would have shown it, not just words.”

That was the decisive blow. The golden knight said, “How dare you say that to me!” After spitting out the cliché line, I walked to the other side of the gymnasium to find a wooden sword.

I let go of the hand that covered my mouth. Rize touched her lips, which had been touching her hand for a moment, and winked at her, telling her not to beat too much and do it in moderation.

It was an eye smile full of trust in me.

It was the first event that the player had to face with that guy here, but it hadn’t been in the game since it came to the Knights of the Silver Dawn anyway.

So even if I beat him moderately, it wouldn’t matter as well.

‘Because it’s the other side that started the fight first.’

He was a guy who was scratching my nerves even in the game, so let’s think of it as a revenge.

A pair of eyes watched silently without being noticed by anyone.
