Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 10

◈Episode 10 I didn’t know that (3)

“What… devils fighting among themselves?”

The Inquisitor was the first to see the one running towards the demon. I was embarrassed. He was a renegade. A person who betrayed God by making a contract with the devil.

“Why a traitor…”

Those who make a contract with the devil become no better than the devil’s servants. Although they are not employed by low-intelligence demons, they cannot be hostile to them.

But do you attack those demons without hesitation? Do you even persistently search for my body, whether it is bitten or not?

Something like this was impossible. Something like this….

“No… no. Inquisitor. The author is not the devil’s contractor.”

It’s not part of what she learned.

“yes?”

“…I never thought I would actually see the possibilities I had dreamed of. The Magi uses magic power… Hmm, I wonder what this will bring in the future…”

The Inquisitor grabbed the mace at the Archmage’s muttering and serious expression. This is because I thought that the Archmage would know something.

“Please provide a more detailed explanation, Archmage.”

“…Oh, right. “It is a hypothesis that only existed as a theory even in academic circles, so the Inquisitor has no choice but to not know about it.”

The Archmage gave her an answer, smoothing his staff with his thick fingers.

“That young man… he probably didn’t acquire that power by making a contract with the devil, but became the devil’s host and came to control that power.”

“Host… Ramen… Are you saying that it has become a zombie?”

If you’re a zombie, you’ve learned something. Zombies were people whose bodies were taken over by the devil and who could no longer move by their own will.

Literally living corpses that are only controlled by parasitic demons. The only rest is death.

“That’s right. However, while a normal zombie loses his or her self to a parasitic demon, that young man seems to have suppressed the demon and taken control himself.”

“what! “There is no way something like that is possible!”

“Is Moore impossible? There is nothing impossible in the Inquisitor world. “There are just some things that are considered impossible.”

The Archmage smiled faintly as he looked at her screaming as if she was struggling. It was an ambiguous smile that seemed a little like crying.

“Otherwise, what should we call the young man in front of us?”

At that moment, the man managed to find the devil’s body and cut the snake into pieces. It was when the devil’s power killed the devil.

“Then, now I’ll rip that mouth off like I promised.”

I spoke my lines with a happy heart, immersed in the concept.

“I think there was a brief misunderstanding. “I will apologize for attacking you, so will you please listen to me?”

Then the wizard urgently stopped me. Now I see that he was a very handsome person.

“misunderstanding? That’s a really funny thing to say. “Is it a misunderstanding that you treated me like one of those bastards and attacked me?”

He’s really incredibly tall. When you look straight ahead and see that your eyes reach the neckline, it looks like it is at least 2m long.

Or maybe they are of different races. Middle Sland Qee Shaggy in ‘The Legend of Heroes’. Because there are a total of 4 races.

And the ‘Shagi’ tribe, which was a complete animal type that was close to a bipedal beast, had an average physique that was very large.

“Please forgive me. Because demon energy was entangled in your arm, they mistook you for a zombie parasitized by a demon. As any demon hunter would know, it’s somewhat unprecedented for someone who has become a zombie to maintain their sense of self.”

Oh… how to react to this. First of all, it seems like they’re trying to cover things up in the story, so I think I can get a little more angry.

After making those calculations, I clenched my fists. The face was also distorted terribly, and I hoped it would look like a mixture of anger and self-loathing.

“what…?”

Other than that, I don’t remember the zombie setting. What was it? I think it was a bit different from regular zombies.

If we infer from the statement ‘zombies parasitized by the devil’, it’s roughly like a host… isn’t it? Does this seem right?

In any case, it wasn’t a pleasant line to hear from someone with a complex. Because you’ll feel like you’re not really human.

“If I had known that you were maintaining your sense of self like a normal person, I wouldn’t have attacked you. “I apologize.”

Snapping.

He dropped the sword that was on his shoulder and gripped the hilt tightly. At the same time, with his right hand, he touched the bangs that fell over his right eye, which had an eyepatch on.

As I became immersed in the concept, it became hateful, unclean, and horrible for no reason.

And I hated those writers who misunderstood just that much. Of course, I didn’t really hate it, but I had the feeling that I would.

In reality, I understand their position and I know they are NPCs anyway, so I am not particularly impressed, but at least the concept I have adopted will not work that way.

“Ha zombie…”

Sometimes when acting, your vocal cords say the lines on their own and your body moves as it pleases.

Should I say that the concept leaves my hands and moves as it pleases? I think now is the time.

“How dare you… treat me like that?”

That’s why I raised my sword even more than usual.

Of course, maybe it was a little heavy when I held it with one hand, but my black hand was shaking. I hope others will see it as if I’m angry.

“…It was clearly our mistake. “If you have any wishes, I will do my best to accommodate them.”

Ah, I don’t think it’s the right time to say this, but it’s really, really fun. It’s more fun because there is an opponent — NPC — who reacts and even responds to you.

I feel like I fit in with my classmates from college.

“Damn it. Are you willing to listen as much as possible? “If I asked you to cut out your tongues, would you do it?”

“That’s…”

“If you can’t even do that, then stop making half-decent apologies.”

What should I do with other games now? No, why are you thinking about other games? ‘The Legend of Heroes’ and Shim Hae-jin-joo are gods.

Still, it would be nice if only the movement system and user convenience were patched.

“…I would like to rip out your chins and hang them at the entrance of the village, but then I would be no different from the devil bastards.”

“…Hmm.”

“go away.”

Anyway, I pretended to swallow the anger I had expressed outwardly in excitement. The sword was also taken away.

‘Is it right to step down like this?’

I briefly questioned the decision I made, but I quickly came up with an answer.

This is true even if you are not necessarily conscious of the story. Because you hate the devil, you don’t want to act like one.

Honestly, yes. I think that the sensitive and sharp temperament in the official setting of the Devil Knight comes from the anxiety that the devil in his arm may run rampant at any moment.

In other words, since I don’t know when I might become a devil again and kill people, I’m going to fiercely not have anyone around me from the beginning.

But would that kind of personality be so angry at one misunderstanding that I would vote for you to die or for me to die? Targeting humans, not demons?

I’ll get a lot of heat, but as long as it’s a misunderstanding, I won’t necessarily try to kill you. There must be a deep-rooted thought that killing humans is something only the devil would do.

That’s my interpretation.

“….”

I turned around with the sword on my back. The quest included recovering evidence of the hunt, so I wanted to collect it.

“for a moment.”

He bent down and retrieved the snake’s body. Accordingly, the voice of the priest… that is, the Inquisitor, was heard.

“…I also apologize.”

I thought they were saying something about taking the body, but I was a little surprised because it was an apology.

“I… no, no matter what I say, it will be an excuse. I’m sorry for attacking you first. “I sincerely apologize.”

Uh… actually, I never paid any attention to it. If you just look at the settings, isn’t it true that it can be misunderstood?

In fact, I think it’s a good thing that I haven’t run into a temple until now. Later on, an oracle will be given, so you won’t be able to bump into it even if you want to.

“If you want compensation for this…”

Separately, the concept is different from mine.

“There’s no need for that kind of hypocrisy.”

So I have to follow it.

“…!”

However, I am somewhat impressed by how they manage to drag this into the story even though the player is so uncooperative.

Of course, I think the original goal was to go beyond cooperation and become collaborators…

Hmm. This may be a bit long. We’ve been fighting and fighting like this, but I don’t think we’ll become friends easily. I’m not even sure if the companion system exists in the first place.

Above all, it’s so sudden and unexpected. I’m a fun gamer who likes everyone, but the average user doesn’t like this kind of unexpected joining.

“It’s not hypocrisy—.”

“Come on, Inquisitor. Please calm down.”

“Arch Mage…!”

Now that I think about it, didn’t I increase my level while catching snakes? I’m worried about what skill to use.

The attack skills are pretty good, and looking at this incident, the tracking isn’t bad either. Or, I think it would be a good idea to take a close-up attack tree and add compensation or increase defense.

“Rather than that, we should stop going back. “I didn’t leave because I couldn’t catch the devil, but the purification wasn’t complete.”

Wow, that’s right, Jeonghwa.

“…All right.”

I briefly opened the purification progress window and saw that it was at 98%. From what I overheard in the conversation, it looks like those two were purifying themselves.

I’m a bit envious of this. For the Demon Knight profession, the only way to purify it is to set it on fire.

It was quite a penalty for the devil knight. Thanks to this, even though I was immune to magical energy erosion, my preference was a bit low.

The priest profession has a separate purification skill, and other professions can purchase purification stones from the temple and use them, but the devil knight does not have that at all.

“….”

“….”

…So, can anyone tell me why those two are following me?

“I’m sorry you worked hard for a week.”

“…Not really. “It was the right thing to do as a servant of God.”

Why are you really following me? I have the entire map turned on and am taking a straight path to the village, but there is no way the NPC knows that.

We’re not good friends, so isn’t it better to go another way? Ah… because it’s a story?

“I would have told you to fuck off.”

I decided to threaten him just in case. NPC reactions should be very realistic.

“I guess what I said doesn’t sound right.”

I grabbed the hilt of the sword at my waist and slightly twisted my waist. I almost turned to the right unconsciously, but before it was too late, I remembered the eyepatch.

I almost became a strange person looking back with eyepatch-covered eyes.

“I apologize if I was offended. “It wasn’t intentional.”

The two people who turned around had a sphere of light floating around them. I wondered why I didn’t turn it on earlier, but that’s the same for me, so I don’t have much to say.

However, what stands out is that in addition to the orb of light, there is also something that looks like a compass…

“I was following the navigation magic. “It looks like the place we both marked is the same.”

Was the navigation function implemented through magic? I suddenly became a hyper-self-conscious person.

“….”

But the good news is that they aren’t following me. If you’re worried about going straight and overlapping, I can take care of it.

There is nothing I have to solve in the village over there anyway, and I have no intention of getting back on the carriage. There is no reason not to break up. If only the system would allow them to break up.

So I pretended to frown and turned around. Since we arrived here after driving for several hours by carriage, we had to walk diligently to return to the starting village.

“Wait, where are we going?”

Then the Inquisitor asked where I was going. I didn’t feel the need to answer, so I didn’t bother to answer.

“Hey, the forest at night is dangerous…”

But I can’t stand words that hurt my pride.

“I guess it’s the same for people like you. “Don’t hold your standards against me.”

“…Still, it’s not a good idea to go alone.”

No, if I had to choose the most dangerous thing in this forest, I would choose you, so it would be safer to go alone.

Of course, if he said his true feelings, it would be a joke, so I scolded him fiercely.

“I guess your ears aren’t working as ears.”

Fortunately, the Inquisitor did not catch me even after hearing those words.

I don’t know what kind of event it was or what I was hoping for if it was a story, but in the battle between the system and the concept, the concept was the winner. Ah, haha.
