This Is Not a Game

I can only laugh

The vision of the assassins that momentarily blocks pain so that even in the midst of dying, they can calmly aim for friendship with the enemy.

Even though the orc’s club hit the side straight, Yoosung, who activated Pain Cut, felt only that his body was slightly tilted to the side.

‘There are two left. This is the place to win.’

I wielded a sword and a whip at the same time, forcibly enduring a throbbing headache from an accident that accelerated several times.

“Kuk…”

The sword stabbed between the flanks of the decapitated orc pierced the stomach of the stupid orc behind him and achieved its goal admirably.

Wedge!

“Stupid human!”

The problem was the whip.

The orc laughed cruelly at the sight of the whip flying in the wrong direction, let alone nearby.

It was a mockery of his sloppy workmanship and shallow idea of using a whip to stop his steps, so that he couldn’t match himself, who was only a few steps away.

He hurriedly pulled his arm back to return the whip, but the distance was too close to swing it again, and the weight of the two dangerous black orcs was intact, so he couldn’t even pull it out with one hand.

“die!”

Convinced that it would be impossible to reverse this situation no matter what he did, the orc swung the ax with all his might without thinking about defense or evasion.

“You have to die. But you, not me.”

Taang!

The deafening sound of explosions and the acrid smell of gunpowder.

The orc, who was looking down at the metal lump in Meteor’s left hand with blank eyes, stumbled back and forth and fell backwards.

‘It’s good that there are still ammunition left.’

The whip he swung at the end was not aimed at an orc.

Meteor, who remembered the fact that modern weapons could deal meaningful damage while watching the police and the orcs fight, swung the revolver to snatch it away.

With a combination of three techniques: concentration through Sura Sensitivity, the movement of a snake that snatches prey in a four-way expedient, and a thorny vine that moves according to its will, it somehow succeeded in recovering the revolver the police were holding, but there was no ammunition left. If it wasn’t for that, it would have been an orc instead of himself who survived.

“Ke… black!”

When the end of the pain was over and the pain I had been ignoring came back, Yooseong collapsed in place with a violent cough and a feeling of vomiting.

As I slowly lifted up my clothes, my eyes caught my eye on my side, which had turned black from being dyed blue.

‘Looking at the position, are the ribs out? Judging from the fact that there is no blood involved, it seems that the internal organs are not injured…’

No matter how many times you vomit, all that comes out is saliva and gastric juice.

Yuseong, who deduced his condition from a story he had heard in a movie somewhere, took a moment to catch his breath, then invoked Stop Pain once more and stood up.

His mana is almost at the bottom, and his physical condition is hitting the bottom.

Hearing the gunshot just now, he had to find a safe place first because another monster might come.

“haha···.”

After taking a stride, stop at the rising pain, grit your teeth, and as soon as your mana is restored, activate Pain Cut and repeat the walk.

At first, he intended to find a place with safety, privacy, and comfort, but realizing that he couldn’t last long in his current condition, Yooseong looked around for a while and walked toward a nearby shopping mall.

with my daughter!

Yuseong, who had swept an energy bar and water into a plastic bag at an empty convenience store, climbed the stairs at a slow pace, opened the nearest door, and went inside.

“Kuk!”

As soon as he closed the door, Yoosung lost his strength and collapsed.

I managed to move somehow by cutting the pain, but the injuries Yooseong suffered were not something that could be improved simply by putting up with it.

On top of that, Yuseong’s mind and body, which had undergone a desperate battle with a monster in the mansion, a fall in an apartment building and a collapse of a building, endless simulations and close encounters with orcs for 15 days, had reached a dangerous state just before the limit.

‘Before losing consciousness…’

– There are various elixirs in the world. The Three Kings of Mannyeon, which can obtain enormous positive energy, ice crystals, which can obtain extreme negative energy, above all, Gongcheong Petroleum, which provides pure inner strength, and the Sun Moon Shindan, which removes all wastes and makes the body suitable for martial arts. However, if I had to choose the best elixir among them, I would choose the Great Hwandan without hesitation.

Although the absolute amount of internal energy that can be obtained or side effects are lower than other elixirs, it is an elixir with ultimate stability that does not suffer from side effects even if taken by a person who has learned some kind of martial arts or even by an ordinary person who has not learned any martial arts. .

Yuseong, recalling Haecheongyeong’s advice, immediately poured the great pleasure he took out of his inventory into his mouth.

“Let’s get some sleep.”

Then, unable to overcome the powerful surge, he closed his eyes.

Only the faintly rising and falling chest was telling me that Meteor hadn’t died.

* * *

The first word Yooseong uttered after waking up from the chill felt throughout his body was ‘It’s cold’.

Yooseong, who was absent-minded for a while in an unfamiliar landscape, not his familiar room, later recalled what he had been through and got up from his seat with an embarrassed expression.

Perhaps it was the effect of the Great Hwandan, I felt only a slight tingling pain in my side, which used to give pain beyond imagination just by inhaling and exhaling.

growl

“…First of all, let’s fill the stomach first.”

I unwrap the energy bar I got from the convenience store, put it in my mouth, and walk to the window to sneak a peek outside.

There is no light except for the occasional flickering street lamp.

Instead of the car’s engine sound, which was always heard, only the cry of an unknown being intermittently pierced the silence of the city.

Yuseong, who had been staring blankly at the scene, burst into a devastated laugh.

“This is so absurd that it only makes me laugh.”

There is a degree of non-daily life, but I couldn’t help but laugh at a situation that far exceeded common sense.

After returning inside and passing the energy bar and water in silence to satisfy his hunger, Yooseong pondered for a while, then took off the goggles he was wearing on his head and took out his smartphone from his pocket.

First of all, it was decided that grasping the situation was the priority.

Fortunately, the smartphone worked fine, and although the speed slowed down and there were interruptions, I was able to access the Internet safely.

‘The date is March 11th. The date when I bought the goggles was March 7th, so four days have passed.’

Just in case, I checked the information inside the smartphone and access various websites, but there was nothing that was out of sync with my memory.

He had guessed that, but it was clear that this was the reality he was living in.

‘When I came back after spending 15 days in Murim, not even a second passed in reality, so I thought that time in reality did not flow when I went to another world, but is that not the case? In [Anyone is welcome, please help!], the average death time per episode was about 5 minutes and there were 999 deaths, so it seems to be a guess. Rather than that now…’

-Room limit: Manggem throw. There seems to be a bit of a problem with the goods. Can we meet again? ^^.

At first, he tried to drop a long message with all kinds of greed and paddling, but with superhuman patience, he calmed down his anger and wrote a compromised message.

The sad thing is this one

Rather than provoking it for nothing, for now, as if it’s not a big deal, somehow calm down and make an appointment to meet again…

Pudeuk.

After going through this, Yooseong then started looking around the portal site.

Strange-looking monsters that would appear in a creature movie, a city in chaos, soldiers moving with a stiff expression, this was somehow within the scope of expectations, but the moment I saw a certain text, the meteor had no choice but to harden as it was.

[Direct shot of the talented person! A video of subjugation of giant insects that did not budge despite being bombarded with machine guns and grenades!]

Just in case, I went to You Tube and started to come up with videos of countless people fighting against monsters.

Some wielded weapons like in martial arts novels, some cast spells and hand signs like wizards, and some dealt with monsters with invisible power like psychics.

The names they called were also diverse, such as warriors, wizards, psychics, saviors, abilities, and awakened people.

‘Could there be thousands or tens of thousands of these goggles?’

Just in case, I searched through You Tube videos and sites like this, and came to the conclusion that this is not the case.

Among the videos and posts, there were a lot of things written by people with abilities, not ordinary people, but among them, not a single word was written about goggles or similar content. .

‘Are the mechanisms of goggles and those with abilities different?’

Unlike those who simply acquired ‘ability’, Goggles can bring not only ‘ability’ but also ‘things’ from another world.

I can’t be sure yet, but until I get separate evidence, I decided to consider the goggles, the invasion of monsters, and the appearance of people with abilities as separate things that have no contact with each other.

“…First of all, it’s not that hopeless.”

I was thinking of the worst case, like the government that collapsed helplessly without being able to resist in front of a sudden invasion, which is common in web novels, but fortunately, mankind was coping well in its own way.

If you think about it, even the orcs could resist enough with the revolvers the police carried, so the idea that the 21st century mankind, armed with gunpowder weapons and all kinds of high-tech equipment, could not overcome the invasion of monsters and collapsed was too unrealistic.

“But isn’t that unrealistic enough already?”

After scratching his head for a while, Yooseong turned off his smartphone after seeing a message saying that the battery was running out while looking around the Internet where all sorts of propaganda, groundless rumors, and false information were rampant.

Unidentified monsters have appeared, and the suddenly appeared talented people are cooperating with the government to calm the situation.

The only thing that is certain in this situation is this.

Having read countless web novels, Yooseong decided that this was a very good situation.

Where is the existence of another world impervious to modern weapons appearing, or a sudden outbreak of a zombie virus, and civilization not collapsing in an instant?

It was like comparing reality to a novel, but even if raid or hunter water was better than apocalypse water, it was several times better.

“Okay then, now the etifier is over…”

After thinking for a while, Yooseong swallowed dry saliva and reached out for the goggles he had taken off in the corner.
