I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1
(1) Kill the player.
Killed the player.
Because he was such an asshole.
* * * *
3 years ago, I was possessed as a game character.
As an extra.
[The Legend of Arhan Heroes]
As a game, it was a large-scale story with many events and crises, and even the destruction of the world, but it was okay!
Because the main character will solve everything!
There was nowhere to run anyway, and leaving the continent didn’t mean things wouldn’t happen, so I thought the story would just proceed as it should.
I approached him because I wanted to see the face of Park Si-hoo, who will gain wealth and fame in the future──
“…Sweet potatoes… I want… Cider… I’ll live for myself…. ..Efficiency…………”
“…….”
Hey, you too?
* * * *
Park Si-hoo was a possessor like me.
The difference between him and I is that Sihu was the main character player and that he had a ‘status window’, which was a privilege of the player character.
The only regret is that Sihoo has never played this game, but I can cover that.
I’ve played this game a bit.
As a serious fan and player of [The Legend of Arhan Heroes], I knew the story well and tried all the hidden pieces.
I’ve done quite a bit of quarterly play, and this information advantage is a huge advantage.
However, most things cannot be obtained without using the player’s status window and system. So, Sihoo can attack this game based on the information I gave him.
If there is no main character in the story of this world, many people will die and the world will perish.
If I die when this world is truly destroyed, will I be able to return to Earth?
What if it’s not game over and it’s just Lee Seung-hajik?
I helped Sihu with all my heart.
The sense of kinship of being from the same hometown, Earth, and falling into the world of the game made us indispensable friends.
It turned out that I was one year older in Earth years, so I was treated like an older brother and it felt like I had a younger sibling, so it wasn’t that bad.
Still, the limitations of the extras were clear, but some of the items I obtained according to my information were also given to me, so I was able to supplement my lacking abilities.
We were a good combination.
If there’s one thing that’s disappointing, is it that I wasn’t able to connect with the heroines in the story?
This game has both male and female characters, but the dating simulation that involves playable characters of the opposite sex is also an attractive game.
Of course, they were characters that expressed interest in the player, Park Si-hoo, so I treated them with the feeling of a fan, but…
Park Si-hoo was not connected to any heroine and was only added to the party occasionally when necessary.
At some point, only human men joined the party, and Park Si-hoo’s party became a party filled only with sweaty men, including me.
“Fuck…….”
I should have noticed.
When Arisha Arden, the granddaughter of the Geomje, one of the main heroines, did not appear at the entrance ceremony, when
Marie, who was originally supposed to be the final boss of Act 1, disappeared,
mysterious disappearance cases, and stories that flowed differently from the story I knew.
Let’s just do our best! It shouldn’t have been overlooked.
Park Si-hoo’s way of thinking and personality were overly artificial… I should have suspected even a little.
“what’s this?”
It was a familiar staff member.
Obviously… the equipment used by the girl who was the final boss in Act 1.
“Wait a minute…”
Why is this here?
Equipment for the boss character that was supposed to be the first act boss in the original story.
Shihu and I were on standby in advance to try to prevent the tragedy, but in the end we were unable to prevent it and missed it.
At the time, I blamed myself for not having the strength to change the situation hastily… Why here?
It’s not just this. In this secret underground space, not only staff but also numerous items were displayed like ‘trophies’.
Jaeger’s Mace is a typical bully character who picks a fight with the player at the beginning of the semester.
The spellbook of Lark, who was expelled from school after causing a leak of midterm exam papers.
No way…
I realized something in common.
Items belonging to those who were involved in the incident and went ‘missing’.
Those who are related to Park Si-hoo in some form or another.
Jaeger disappeared from practice at the beginning of the semester because he had a fight with Park Si-hoo, and
Lark was expelled for plotting a frame because he was jealous of Park Si-hoo, who was walking well.
In addition to the ones I know, there are people who have been connected to Park Si-hoo in some way. And crucially…
this is Park Si-hoo’s private building.
One of the properties that players can purchase in the game. It also becomes an intermediate space for the inventory…
I never thought I would follow him as he disappeared somewhere in the night and see such a terrible scene. There were other trophies that shocked me.
“Why is this here?”
A unique single-edged sword displayed like an exhibit. She was one of the important heroines in the story, but died before the initiation ceremony… A hidden piece of the Yam Sword owned by Arisha Aden, the granddaughter of the Sword Emperor.
There is one condition to obtain this hidden piece in the game.
Trigger Arisha Arden’s death event in some form.
“……ah.”
I got goosebumps.
The main premise collapses.
The main premise is that Park Si-hoo has never played this game.
“Oh fuck.”
“…!”
It wasn’t the sound I made.
“Shi shi hu…!”
“…Why is my brother here?”
Shihu, who was probably the owner of this terrible scene, was surprisingly calm. He seemed to find this situation annoying.
“You…”
I was supposed to explain, I was supposed to ask what the hell this was, but I couldn’t get my mouth to open.
I was afraid of hearing the answer, so I thought maybe I would say yes…
“Brother, calm down.”
“Fuck the calm!!”
How do you calm down in this situation? How can you calm down after seeing this?
“You… you can’t believe it… you lied when you said you missed it…!”
As if what was in my heart had been conveyed, Sihu began to persuade me as if making excuses.
“They’re demons anyway. Huh? They’re our enemies. I just used them more efficiently.”
“……use?”
The guy smiled brightly and boasted about his accomplishments.
“I sucked my friend too. And then she hid in the forest while struggling? Did you have a hard time finding her? Who would have thought that a poisonous bitch would dig a hole in the forest and survive there for a month?”
──Don’t you have to pay for your sins?
“Using. Using? What does that mean!”
“…He’s a high-ranking vampire. A one-year-old who has just awakened is said to be of elder level. Do you know what comes out when you purify the blood of an elder-level vampire? You drank a lot of it too.”
Those words suddenly reminded me of the potion he gave me. It’s comparable to a low-level elixir that can’t even be compared to potions sold on the market──
“Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!”
“Ai… are you okay, bro? Just wait. I’ll clean it up.”
Even though he was spouting horrible and disgusting nonsense, his attitude towards me did not change. It was so creepy.
“Why on earth…”
“Of course, it’s to progress the story efficiently.”
“story?”
“If you do what my brother told you, the sweet potato is too harsh. You have to suffer losses to save people, and you can’t even kill idiots like Yeager or Larc.”
Yeager was merely arguing. The gangsters everywhere just believed in their power and did nothing.
What about Lark? Although they framed Park Si-hoo, at most they were falsely accused of stealing test papers. Of course, if you did something wrong, you could have been expelled, but still…
“Other girls are like that too. If they don’t like you, they can’t use it and they can’t use exclusive items. They’re the ones who make party plans among themselves, so using it like this is the most efficient.”
“You… how many of you are there…”
At my words, his pupils turn to the corner. This opens the player’s system window. Then he smiled calmly and answered.
“Well? I think the kill log was just over 100,000. Oh, just 3 more kills will bring it to 100,000.”
“You bastard!”
I grabbed the guy by the collar. I couldn’t listen any more to what the beast said.
“You…! This person…!”
“Brother, come to your senses. Why are they people? They’re NPCs. They’re game characters.”
“you…!”
“Hasn’t your brother killed a lot of people before? Why are you doing this now?”
“Is this the same as those who want to destroy the world?”
The guys I killed were evil people who couldn’t be saved. The main enemies of the story are the villains that the story contributes to.
What is the difference between them and Park Si-hoo?
This guy doesn’t see people as people.
Of course, [The Legend of Arhan Heroes] is a game. The people inside were NPCs.
But does that mean the people living in this world are also NPCs? Is it okay to kill them just because they are game characters?
How do you judge that? What differentiates this from a game and reality? Why do you judge so easily?
Don’t fucking say it.
“Trust me. What I do is the most efficient play. I am the best player in this game.”
I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.
I didn’t trust my brother back then.
I was so dumbfounded that I was speechless.
Park Si-hoo was confident. That statement was somewhat correct.
This guy has a status window and uses the system without any problems. If you had information superiority like me, you would have been able to use it as efficiently as possible.
By monopolizing the ‘hidden pieces’, which would have been exclusive items for the heroines, and cleverly bringing about branching events in the route, they made the most profit.
When the school building collapsed, when
terrorists attacked, and when
special monsters appeared.
This guy benefited in some way. No, I monopolized it to the point where it was excessive.
He must have ‘played’ this game with maximum efficiency. I followed him for three years and solved many incidents.
Even the cases that I couldn’t follow due to the limitations of extras were solved brilliantly.
Although it was a game world, Park Si-hoo stood tall as a hero according to the story.
But the Park Si-hoo in front of us is not a hero.
It was the devil. The inorganic killer’s eyes that cannot be found in any evil thing.
100,000… The ‘victims’ that we passed by without notice in our memories who were strangely ‘efficient’ while experiencing numerous incidents. And the massacres that took place in places I don’t know about.
I was convinced that he must have been involved in the events I had overlooked, thinking that the story was not progressing just like the game.
Ah… this guy didn’t accept this world as reality.
You only saw people as programmed organisms.
The world I had adapted to and accepted for three years was nothing more than an illusion to him.
“You… just chose what was comfortable.”
“what?”
“Efficiency? Cider? Don’t be damned. If you’re such an efficient person, why are you taking Alisha Arden’s yam sword? Why is the wizard Tree Tan taking a hidden piece for a knight!”
“That’s it…”
“Fuck it! For some reason, my older sister, Runia Aden, was so persistent in tracking down the yam sword that I couldn’t retrieve it! I can’t help but pretend that this bastard is monopolizing something he can’t even handle!”
You sloppy and stupid bastard! You selfish and greedy pig!
Did you praise this guy and call him a hero? Such a bastard?
“Elixir? Hey, you idiot, you can replace it with other ingredients in your combination window.”
Why did they create such a horrible breeding farm when it could have been just a few taps on the combination window? Why did you do this inefficient thing?
“Efficiency? Don’t give a damn. You just needed a punching bag to relieve your psychotic tendencies. What kind of efficiency-obsessed bastard would put psycho evidence on display in a place like this!!”
“Oh, fuck, really!”
Park Si-hoo slapped my face as if he was genuinely annoyed, not in the attitude of trying to persuade me so far.
“Brother, I’m going crazy because of you . all. I’m going crazy!”
“What… Ugh!”
He grabbed my hair and pulled me back.
“You can’t do this to me. Even if everyone in the world is mean to me, you can’t do this to me!”
“Uh, uh…?”
Hey, what’s wrong with your comment? You’re not choosing the right wording?
“Don’t you know why I’m doing this? “Don’t you know why I feel like I’m going crazy!”
“Shi Shifu?”
“Going around making jokes about weak topics, getting beaten up, and making a fuss in front of sluts…”
He glared at me with a burning gaze like never before. It’s a very burdensome look in his eyes.
“I won’t… endure it anymore.”
“Huh?”
That was the moment. He suddenly hit me in the face with the intention of headbutting me.
“Huh?!”
I instinctively avoided the disgusting snout. I could keep my innocence by turning my head, but I couldn’t avoid his burning gaze.
“So… you weren’t planning on accepting me anyway, right?” ”
Oh, you idiot. Why is this happening all of a sudden? uh? You’re not this type of character. The story that you and I have been through for a long time is episode 199. Why did you suddenly break Drift just before episode 200?!”
“I’m going to take over my brother. Both body and mind. Do you think you’re going to lose your brother to those fox bitches?”
“You’re crazy! I’ve never been in a relationship before, so what nonsense!”
I got goosebumps in a different way than before. So much so that I desperately needed my mother’s Russian-style physical therapy.
“I can’t believe they only brought men to the party…” ”
They It’s for ornamental purposes. It’s not real. In reality… it’s only my brother.”
“Ugh…!”
I desperately ran away. But something came out from my shadow and grabbed my ankle, causing me to fall down. I was hit by that guy’s magic!
” My brother… he can’t run away. I’m going to lock it up. Forever.”
– Daldaldaldal!
I was scared. I wasn’t this scared when I first found this place. I
wasn’t this angry even when he confessed to being a Cydapath efficient.
What happens if I get caught by him?
I’m Mariena Lark Jaeger. Looking at the same victims, I could easily predict my future.
A chain of suffering, healing, and suffering again, rather than living even if I lived.
“You!” you…! My will! You bastard, what is my will?! I’m straight! He’s a solid heterosexual!”
Park Si-hoo laughed at my words and answered in a voice like butter.
“My brother’s will is not important. Because you are mine. The only real thing I have in this world of fakes.”
“It gives me goosebumps! You crazy bastard!”
-Aaaah!
A shadow opens its huge maw. Just before he loses consciousness due to its magic, Park Si-hoo smiles crookedly.
“Because everything will end soon. After this fight, I will claim my brother.”
“What will you claim? What do you want, Inum?”
My consciousness ended there. The only reason I finally regained consciousness was thanks to a voice in my ear. [The
last stage opens. The final battle with the final boss begins.]
Ah, it has begun.
My consciousness has disappeared . Afterwards, Park Si-hoo started the final battle with the final boss.
Since he was the one who dominated the final boss, he would also win the final boss… What would happen to me if I really defeated the final boss? It was
not difficult to imagine a terrible future.
[Player has passed away. The challenge has failed.]
……………Did you lose, this bastard?

* * * This is the time to look back on my life.
I have regressed. 3 Years ago.
Must kill. Kill the player.
