Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 8

◈Episode 8 I didn’t know that (1)

I had to take a carriage and drive for more than ten hours to reach the northwest forest.

It was a bit hell. The ride feels good, but the game company did not include a skip function at all.

Moreover, I was in an uncomfortable position, crossing my arms, crossing my legs, and even closing my eyes for that damn Gao.

I moved for several hours in one position without thinking, thinking that I would arrive soon.

Thanks to this, I thought I had entered the room of spirit and time.

Seeing that the sun is setting now that we have arrived, it is clear that it took about two to three hours in reality, but it feels like ten hours. If you can believe it even after +n hours, you can get a rough idea.

However, even to my own surprise, I endured the harsh conditions to the end.

Of course, it would be closer to being defeated by evil rather than a victory of patience. When I had traveled for about an hour, I felt like it was a waste to hold on for that hour, and when I had traveled for about two hours, I held on because I felt like it was a waste of those two hours.

It was the same when I got off the train. Even though it was a waste of time I had endured, I couldn’t show any signs of discomfort.

So I got looks of awe, which was at least some consolation. It was only comforting.

Shim Hae-jin-ju, this dog….

* * *

I checked the quest window with a rotten look on my face.

「Tikone Village」

「❖ Danger lurking in the northwest forest

∎ Move to the northwest forest

∎ Search for the devil hidden in the northwest forest」

It was nothing special, but my whole body hurt as if I had been hit, so even this text made me feel bad.

Damn it, I take back what I said that it won’t fail even if the movement system is shit. The travel time is N hours, which is a problem, but is the ride quality like this?

If you don’t patch, the game will definitely fail. Even I, a long-time fan, wanted to beat the game, so most newbies will rush out!

“I’ll be better…”

In the end, I pretended to put the sword on my shoulder—it was so long that I had to take it out of the sheath when I sat down—and straightened my back. I gritted my teeth and pretended to remain calm, saying it was a waste to hold on, but it was no longer possible.

Wow. I heard the sound of my back going out.

“I hope you had a safe journey… hehe.”

I frowned more at that sound and turned my head. The coachman was looking at me, rubbing his hands together. Just looking at it, it looked like he wanted a tip.

“What answer do you want?”

Why me? Such thoughts are unnecessary. Before I left, I gave a good tip to the boy who found the coachman.

So, it is not at all strange that the coachman who witnessed this had expectations of me. Not really.

“I paid for your services. “Maybe more.”

Are you a bastard trying to get a tip from a ride like that? You bastard thief.

I didn’t plan on giving it to you originally, but I have no intention of paying any additional money after going through all that hard work. I stiffened my expression.

“If you don’t have any other business, get out.”

Just in case, I held my hand strong. When the left hand made a clattering sound, the driver ran away with a hiss.

It looks good.

I snorted slightly and turned around. As I took a step forward, the people around me slowly backed away.

It doesn’t seem like a coincidence in terms of timing, but it seems that picking on only the coachman was very effective. Did being sincere have an impact?

“after.”

However, it was just unintentional and it is not a scene that goes against the concept.

I moved forward, shaking my head as much as possible without losing face. The goal is to cross the village and enter the forest beyond.

“There’s no inn over there…!”

Around that time, someone courageous shouted to me. It wasn’t exactly the advice I was hoping for, but I really appreciated the service itself.

“I really don’t have one…”

However, the national rule is that playable characters are fine even if they don’t sleep. It was independent of the existence of a sleep function.

That’s why I have no intention of stopping by the inn and sleeping. If you get tired, you should put it into sleep mode, but why bother when you can still endure it?

Why do a full dive if you’re going to sleep all the time?

The mental strength lost while riding the carriage can be refilled by doing things like hunting. I’m tired because of boredom, not because I’m actually tired.

“If you’re going to go into the forest, stop.”

But the people here. So nice. It may be a stranger, but they come forward and care.

“The devil is coming out.”

but? Now, I am not a grumpy city guy… but a cold, cold-hearted person.

I passed by him without even giving him a glance. The man got so angry that he raised a blood clot in his neck.

“They don’t say the devil will come out! “You want to go into that forest at night, not during the day!”

I slowed down my pace very slightly.

“What does it matter if it’s day or night?”

Monsters at night are usually stronger than during the day. There are times when you need to maintain balance by increasing health or increasing attack power.

“It would be a problem if we lost to bastards from hell just because it was night.”

But that’s okay. In the case of games that mainly focus on hunting, the difference in difficulty between the two is not significant.

In addition, the attack power of the weapon received as a pre-order (pre-order) seems to be effective enough to at least reach the mid-game monsters, but wouldn’t that be enough to catch even a single night monster in the early stages?

I made that judgment through my long gaming career. And then I stretched out my feet towards the darkening forest.

A dense forest that did not even accept light swallowed my body.

* * *

“In fact, when I heard that 700,000 gals were hanging around the devil’s neck, at first I thought the amount was too exaggerated.”

A woman slashed the body of a goblin blocking her path with a mace.

The red hair that was loosely tied and hung in front of one side was so red that it was impossible to tell whether blood had splattered or not.

“It’s worth it. “Aren’t there quite a few victims that are revealed on the surface?”

A handsome old man walked along the path that the woman had opened. Beneath the white hair is a face that resembles a lion, not a typical human face. The soft white fur gave an elegant and noble feel.

“Still… I think my thoughts were too short. Even if you don’t suffer it yourself, if you are deprived of your place to live, it also causes people to die.”

“It is enough for you to know that. “Aren’t you just coming out of the temple and getting to know the world?”

At the old man’s remark, the woman gathered her arms around him. It was a feeling of disapproval towards himself and a bit of anger towards the current situation that showed no signs of resolving.

“For the sake of the lambs, we need to quickly eradicate the evil that is lurking in secret, but it’s nowhere to be seen.”

“I guess that’s why the bounty has increased so much. Don’t be impatient. “If you’re in a hurry, things don’t work out.”

“I know. But…”

She sighed at the demonic presence that did not come out even after wandering for days.

It was that frustrating. Until I received the revelation from the temple, I never thought it would happen like this. The outside world, which I experienced for the first time, was complicated and difficult.

There is no set routine or answer. I had to judge, decide, and move forward alone.

“As the Archmage said, evil will not show itself just because I act like this. “I’ll come to my senses and scan the forest again.”

“You are making the right decision.”

The woman regained her composure as she crushed the goblin that popped out again with her mace.

“…This dark magic!”

As if in response, a deep malice that she had never felt while wandering through the forest hit her senses.

“Archmage!”

“Yes, I felt it too. “Go first, Inquisitor.”

“Excuse me!”

The woman left the old man holding the cane behind and headed to the source of the magic energy after a month.

“I found it, devil!”

The one at the end was a man with a lantern hanging from his belt and a huge sword on his shoulder.

Thick magical energy flowed from his right hand, which seemed to be filled with a gauntlet.

“How dare you become a human and betray God!”

She couldn’t stand it even more.

To become a human and embrace demon energy in your body. You can’t do that unless you have made a contract with the devil. It means that they turned their backs on God and betrayed humanity.

“I will punish you in the name of God!”

I will never let a traitor who deserves execution live.

She tightened her grip on the shield and charged the mace with divine power.

“…?”

Suddenly, gloomy eyes that were not covered by an eye patch caught her gaze.

Cough!

Swords and maces clashed.

* * *

「Spotting the enemy│Selecting the enemy is the basis of battle. You can recognize hostility.

Effect: When a hostile target approaches within 10m, a target mark is provided to the nearest person.” It

was night so I couldn’t see the devil very well, so I tried using ‘Spotting’ among the life skills. Just believe that it will indicate if there is a hostile target within a 10m radius.

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

“…?”

But I never thought I’d be able to use my tracking skills like this right away.

“How dare you become a human and betray God!”

The target wasn’t even the devil I wanted. It was a person.

“I will punish you in the name of God!”

I swung the two-hender, barely able to suppress my embarrassment. I knew very well that resisting the mace with a sword would ruin the blade, but there was no other way now.

Cough!

Judging by the sound that was heard, the ‘perfect strike’ was activated.

It was a defense skill that removed 100% of the damage, unlike the regular ‘Punch’, which only removes 90% of the damage when the weapon is struck at the right time.

Thanks to this, I was able to hide my embarrassment and quickly prepare for the next step. It was a preparation to be able to respond to any attack at any time.

“Is it a religious order?”

At the same time, I also worked hard with my head.

The person who appeared… Judging by the shouting of God’s name and the white light that rested on the tip of the mace, he seemed to be a priest.

Seeing as how he doesn’t act like a slug even though he’s wearing a shield and plate, his level seems to be a bit high.

“Yes, I came to punish you.”

However, after figuring out his identity that way, I became even more confused. The priest… why me?

Seeing as there are no new quests or updates, it doesn’t seem like an event or story.

So is it a field boss? However, to be called a field boss, the design does not match the map. Isn’t the setting of a priest protecting the forest a bit strange? There isn’t any backstory involved.

Then again, a story or an event? There was nothing like this in the original, but I don’t know anything about the remake, so I can’t guess. I am dumbfounded.

“The church I knew was one that practiced good deeds and mercy in the name of God, but looking at it today, it seems that’s not really the case. “When I see them recklessly committing violence.”

hmm. Still, I guess I’ll enjoy it once it’s out. It’s not like I’m just trying to make a living.

“Does the devil talk about violence?”

When I listened to the lines separately, it was clear that something was out of focus in the conversation.

Why are you yelling at normal people, calling them devils?

Did you misunderstand me as the devil? What on earth are you looking at?

What on earth do I have to do with the devil…

and at least I don’t even have a cursed item…?

Uh…

could it be my right arm?

“…!”

The realization was instantaneous, and it was the instinct of a concept lover that made my expression cold.

The setting is that he wore gauntlets because he didn’t want to see his arm with a devil in it. I hate the devil, but at the same time, looking at the devil on my arm, am I still human? It is said to be a setting of suffering.

A kid like that listens to the priest talking about the devil? Hey, isn’t this a button switch? It definitely makes you roll your eyes!

“Don’t call me the devil, fanatic!”

I absolutely can’t stand it. You have to get your blood pumped and scream loudly!

How can Min, whose self-esteem is wandering because she doesn’t even know if she’s human, get over this?

“How dare a traitor fall for evil!”

The fact that the enemy is a priest who is at a higher level than me and has compatibility? It was none of my business. In this type of game, not only does the level not always determine whether you win or lose, but even if you die, you just have to play again.

For concept lovers, dying is also content. Either way is fun.

“Accept judgment obediently!”

I avoided the priest’s mace by suppressing the corner of my mouth that was about to twitch in excitement. Then, I held my sword straight up towards the sky and performed the promised ceremony.

“Victory to my sword and glory to the sky…!”

“You’re just imitating a knight!”

How dare you imitate a knight. But since he’s not a real knight with official ordination, he’s not going to be noble even in a fight?

I turned off the light on my belt and melted into the darkness.

This is because while their entire body shines due to the buff, mine does not. If I turn off the lights, my field of vision will be narrowed, but unlike on the other side, I can spot the other person.

“You cunning…!”

As expected, the opponent immediately lost the target. On the surface, I had the advantage.

“I will cut off your tongue and offer it to God…!”

Then, let’s give the ambusher a stinging taste. I wonder if the attack will stick.

“Breaker…!”

「Breaker│With a weapon filled with magic, it performs a powerful magic attack in a wide area in front.

Effect: Consumes 10 magic power. Attacks enemies in the forward range with 540% damage.” The

attack skill Breaker, taken before the red enemy skill, added a black effect to the two-hender and split the night air.
