Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 11

◈Episode 11 I didn’t know that (4)

The Inquisitor held his shield and mace tightly as he watched the man seeping into the darkness. The man’s expression of displeasure and a sense of obligation that he couldn’t let her go like this stopped her.

“Archmage, what should I do now?”

“Uhm, I don’t know. “This is the first time this old man has encountered a situation like this.”

“We can’t just let the author go. He’s still that strong, but if he gets eaten by the devil…”

“Do you think that guy will get eaten by the devil?”

“…I personally hope not. But…”

“I know. “Wish and reality are very different.”

Did I read a lot from her silence? The Archmage touched his chin and then snapped his fingers.

“For now, I will mark that young man. Let’s take some time… and pretend it’s coincidence so we can contact each other again. “If you force yourself to go along now and provoke the man, it will be a handshake.”

“…All right.”

At least it was a possible compromise.

* * *

“…Is it arrival?”

I finally made a promise at the entrance to the city. Look how I walk on the road again. Deep sea bastards.

“….”

It’s nice to have walked for a full day. Perhaps because I walked, it felt like a day that was supposed to last 8 hours was just one day in real time, but I could still endure it.

No, I can’t stand it.

What kind of prank was this crazy Hae-jin Joo playing on? I tend to forget time when I’m engrossed in a game, but not to the point where I mistake 8 hours for 24 hours…!

Still, yeah. I can tolerate this because it is good. If it feels like it’s been a while even if you’ve played it for a while, it’s not a bad thing from a gamer’s perspective who has to take care of their current life as well.

But what kind of game embodies sleepiness and fatigue? I can understand this because there are many games that implement the feeling of fullness, but I cannot understand that they implement sleep as well.

Or are you just telling me not to hunt for 24 hours? Do you guys know that the game is made too realistic?

But you turn it around and regulate it in this way? If that’s the case, it would be better to ban full dives or make people who spent a lot of money preparing for full dives get angry…!

There were even a lot of bugs. In the dirt, among the grass, and in the trees!

The optimization was so good that there wasn’t a single stutter, but it was a waste of technology.

Do you know how I felt when I took a nap in the forest and got scared because a bug got on my back? Do you know, you evil pearls?

I’m glad they made my mangame into a godgame, but this is too much!

“huh? Are you back already…?”

I couldn’t help but speak as I looked at Secretary Izren’s face.

“…Check.”

I had so much going on. It’s really hard.

“What a snake… no way!”

But I couldn’t cry over Gao. After throwing the snake in front of the clerk, he sat down on the chair provided in front of the window.

“Medusa… It was Medusa. So….”

Oh, I want to log out of Full Dive and all. This is the first time I’ve ever wanted to hit a game because it’s so well made.

I think this is why I still feel tired even after logging out. My new condition is that games shouldn’t affect my current life, but it seems that the harsh reality is ruining it all.

“I might have to monitor the situation in the forest more just in case, but… I think that’s right.”

However, it is really a waste of money to go out. The full dive fee is expensive. If you go out in the middle of a dive, you may have to change the fluid again.

It was such a sad thing. The manga game has become a godgame, but it has become so godgame that it’s killing me. shit.

“As soon as we determine the authenticity, we will complete the request and pay the processing fee. “Thank you for your hard work, adventurer.”

Bappambaam!

Meanwhile, lively BGM hit my ears. It wasn’t very pleasant.

Right now, I was feeling a little dizzy and my eyelids were heavy, as if I had actually had a night out. Even if you are a gamer, it is difficult to have fun even in these conditions.

“I… you seem tired. May I recommend an inn?”

Inn recommendation? Good recommendation. Originally, I was going to go to the place that was arranged by the merchant, but it would be a different experience to stay somewhere else.

“Con!”

“yes!”

At the secretary’s call, the child I had encountered when I first started playing the game came running to me.

“Would you like to take the adventurer to the White Wind Inn?”

“yes. “Please leave it to me!”

The child seemed more active and energetic than before. Although I was worn out and exhausted in the meantime.

“Um… adventurer, are you here to catch a demon?”

“…okay.”

“What kind of demon did you catch? What did the devil look like? Was it very strong?”

The child, who seemed less intimidated than before, quietly started talking to me. It was a pity. If it were any other time, I would have accepted the conversation as long as it didn’t conflict with the concept, but I just couldn’t do that now.

“The devil is not someone to discuss for fun.”

He blurted out a word in an icy voice. Just as I aimed, the child made a prickly expression and closed his mouth.

“…sorry.”

Ahhh! It’s not your job to apologize!! I actually feel sorry for the adult!! If I were a child in real life, I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to become an adult who was kind enough to show kindness to NPC boys…!

I reached the inn, struggling with inner guilt. Fortunately, despite his harsh attitude, the boy even flattered the inn owner to take good care of the adventurer.

He was a really cool kid who could put his personal feelings aside.

“…! thank you!”

And I was such an uncool adult that I could only give compliments as tips…

“…Shall we stop?”

I gave the boy a hefty tip and thought about it as I hurried into the inn room.

It had to be that way. The concept was fun thanks to the colorful reactions from the NPCs, but the game itself made me very tired.

It would probably be correct to say that it is not a feeling of enjoying a game, but rather a feeling of filming an extreme job experience. It is difficult to remove this sentiment even when memories are corrected and gratitude is added.

“Huh…”

No… I’ve maxed out my fatigue now so I can do things like this. Of course, the game company that actually made me feel this was the worst…

I fell onto the bed. Then the window slowly floated up.

「 ▲ 0 hours 00 minutes sleep ▼ 」

The count was set to 6 hours. The plan was to sleep first and then decide whether to continue playing the game or not. This is because I know from experience that decisions made when you are tired are likely to be regretted.

Ah… Now that I think about it, I also have to wipe the blood off my body…

The equipment was made to wash automatically over time, but why didn’t it remove the stains on my hair and skin…

Unfortunately, by the time I thought about that, I had already pressed the button. After pressing the button, my vision quickly became dark.

* * *

‘You have to wake up.’

“A hostile target exists within a 10m radius.”

My eyes widened. Considering that the light flowing through the window is less than when I was sleeping, I think it must be the middle of the night. Silence filled my eardrums, not even the crickets chirping.

Rather, it seems like the tracking skill just popped up a notification?

…I’ve never even opened a window in the first place.

Without blinking, I grabbed the sword that was next to me. puck! A heavy blow fell on the blade that was lifted reflexively.

A chill ran down my spine. There was a figure behind me so clear that it was surprising that I realized it now.

“shit!”

The voice I heard for the first time was swearing. That’s what I wanted to say. This damn skill only worked when the enemy was right in front of me.

“die!”

The heavy thing that was touching the two-hender fell away and flew out with murderous intent accompanied by the sound of the wind.

Of course, there was no reason to just accept it. I quickly raised my upper body. Like a game character, his eyes quickly adapted to the darkness and clearly showed the surrounding situation.

Pow!

I hit the empty bed with my club and turned my upper body to face the enemy.

Then he swung the two-hender towards the enemy. Because of the posture, it didn’t take much force, but it was able to cut off part of the enemy’s skin.

“Kaaak!”

The enemy grabbed his chest and stepped back. As the distance increased, victory was tilted towards me.

With my two-hander outstretched towards the enemy, I reached down and fumbled to find the lamp hanging on my waist. I can still see it enough, but I wanted to see the exact face of the person who did this.

“Damn it!”

In the room that turned out like that, there was a person with a hooked nose that I had never seen before.

In his right hand, he holds a club studded with iron pieces, and with his left hand, he holds his bloody chest.

“Please save me.”

He hesitated and took a step back. He was a funny guy. Who attacked me first?

“I just got a money bag…”

“These days, it seems like you get a money bag by breaking someone’s head.”

What would have happened if I hadn’t used the tracking skill? It’s better to have your pot crushed by the Inquisitor, but it’s not cool to have your head crushed in your sleep.

I gritted my teeth and aimed my sword.

“Put it down and put your hands above your head.”

Wow, I had no idea that with this concept, I would end up saying lines that a police officer would say.

But what now?

“I’ll put you down so you can save your life…”

“If the blade of a sword digs under your chin, will you move quickly?”

When I spoke softly, almost like a growl, the other person jumped up. thud. A lump fell onto the wooden floor and both hands went up above their heads.

I went around the bed with my sword pointed at him. It was very convenient that the sword was long so I could keep pointing it. The stick at

my

feet rolled to the corner of the room, and I grabbed one of the man’s arms. I must have kept my hand firmly on my head, so even if I pulled on it, it didn’t loosen much.

Instead, he just released it himself and took out the dagger in his arms.

“It’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Is this an NPC who is crazy about wanting to die? There is no such thing as learning.

I used the two-hender as a shield to block the dagger. He then kicked the thief’s leg and broke his balance.

As the opponent’s body swayed and was about to collapse, my right arm struck his back with my elbow.

“Wow!”

In any case, criminals do not go well if you treat them kindly. That’s not a human right to protect.

“Ugh…”

He kicked the dagger that was holding the fallen human’s hand. It took a bit of work, but I achieved what I wanted. The dagger rolled to the floor like a club.

“Did you think you could kill me with a blade like that?”

I bent down briefly and grabbed the NPC’s back with my gauntlet. He made a noise as if he was in pain, but I just ignored him.

That robber should have been thankful that he didn’t die.

“hey.”

He grabbed the attacker’s neck and walked downstairs with great strides. There was an NPC dozing off at the counter.

bang!

Instead of raising my voice, I kicked a chair I could see. Craddangtangtang! The sound of a chair falling over echoed through the hall.

“Oh my gosh!”

I’m sorry for losing my temper. But I’m not sorry because you’re the ones who didn’t take care of security.

“What what?”

I dragged the thief down and beat him to the floor. The clerk jumped up in surprise, looked at him and me alternately, and screamed. It was a scream that a horror movie director would love. It’s sticky.

“What’s going on…!”

The entire inn soon began to buzz. Some of them stuck their heads out of the room or even came out into the hall.

“Four murders…!”

No that. It’s true that I have blood on my head, but it’s hardened blood.

There is no way the blood that is covered now has hardened. How on earth can you program an NPC to misunderstand facts like a real human being?

“They seem to be wearing eyes as decorations, but they are screaming that they are dead.”

I raised my sword and tried to point it at the groaning robber. This meant that the act of trying to raise one’s body was itself the action of a living person, so don’t misunderstand.

“A hostile target exists within a 10m radius.”

“Did they commit murder in that little moment?”

It would have been like that even if the ringing notification and the voice I heard hadn’t intervened.

“After all, zombies that maintain their ego—!”

This is the guy you met in the forest, right?

“Question and answer dance!”

Boom!

Before I could understand the situation, I hit the spot where the mace was. I narrowly escaped it, but it was a little close. The priest who took off his plate armor and put down his shield was indeed fast.

“you…!”

“I will eliminate you this time!”

I don’t know why you’re here, but I know I’m misunderstanding you again.

It can’t be an NPC that really hits the nail on the head. It’s not easy for things to be like this every time we meet.

Or is this also a story? It seems too contrived and left to chance to be called a story.

Anyway, if the player hadn’t woken up, he might have died.

“I’m sure they would have told me to kill them if they followed me…!”

Or was it the right direction not to wake up? Something like collaborating to find the stolen money bag.

The probability is a bit low because, like now, if the player uses the tracking skill first, he or she will fail.

“Dirty devil!”

“…This time, I’ll cut off your chin and pull out your tongue!”

Separately, when that priest appears, the over-immersion switch turns on and it’s so much fun. How can you only choose words that arouse your complex every time they come out?

“Die in the name of God—!?”

“Sleep!”

The moment the Inquisitor and I were about to collide, white and blue chains came out from the floor and tied us up.

Bindingbinding. It is a CC device that binds enemies with the wizard’s skills and gives them time to use magic. It will automatically release over time, but if you resist, the time can be shortened further.

Well, you’ll still be tied up for at least 2 seconds. Because it was like that in the original.

“Stop for a moment!”

Still, I thought I should try to resist, so I put my skills on the two-hender and swung it. It was almost at the same time that the Archmage’s shout reached my ears.

“Ah, Archmage, why—.”

Quang!

Due to my movement, the chain shattered and the two-hender collided with the floor.

Wow!

The wooden floor split along the blade of the two-hender has created a groove that divides half of the hole. The thief who had been thrown to the floor barely escaped the path of the goal and trembled.

“Huhhh!”

“A monster…!”

“….”

…Oh um… So….

This is what it is. In the original, a skill that was constantly being told that it was a PVP game changer and that it should be nerfed is broken so easily….

A moment of silence. It hovered between me and the Archmage.
