Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 85

◈Episode 85 I Want to Talk (1)

「…Can you hear my voice?」

「If you can….」

「Forget everything.」

* * *

If I lose consciousness without realizing it and wake up, I can’t help but feel like a stranger. Shouldn’t we be allowed to use modifiers such as ‘It’s the ceiling’ or ‘It’s flashing!’?

I felt sorry for the presence of something that seemed to have tied its eyes and did not allow even that. Even if I think about it, it was such a useless regret.

I probably wouldn’t be in a position to feel that way right now.

Anyway, thanks to you, I came to my senses a little. I first tried to figure out my situation.

Even if you can’t do it, it looks like your eyes are definitely covered. The body has no sense of what is wrong. It looks like the limbs are still attached, but they can’t move.

I even feel some pressure around my mouth. I tried moving my lips as a test, and seeing that it was difficult to move them, I think they had their mouths covered as well.

It doesn’t seem like my ears are blocked, but I don’t hear any sounds from around me.

I have a deep feeling that something has gone wrong.

The fact that my eyes and mouth are tied means that there is a high possibility that my body is also bound, so why am I bound?

I quickly tried to remember before it was cut off.

So… I clearly fell into a trap and pretended to be a devil, and in that state, I dealt with guys who were like the 72 Knights or something, and also dealt with Vipurit who turned into a monster. And…

and what did you do?

Uh… I guess I went to sort out the demon followers because I felt uncomfortable leaving them in the castle. I vaguely remember saving people who were to be used as sacrifices.

But I don’t know why my memories are so hazy, as if they were through a filter. There are a lot of missing memories, like I missed a few frames… I can’t remember the thoughts I had or the feelings I had at the time… Oh?

For a moment, I felt like I wanted to blink. It’s because of a memory that came to mind late.

I think I last saw Kimchi Dumpling swinging a mace at me with his madness gauge at a very high…? Oh, I vaguely remember the meat dumplings I saw?

…What do you remember?

At once, I felt like cold sweat was running down my back. That’s exactly what I remember, but I didn’t have a feeling that all the scenes that were omitted would be good.

Maybe that’s why I was arrested.

I can’t be sure because I don’t remember, but I guess I filled up my madness gauge and went on a rampage regardless of whether I was a friend or a friend. If that’s the case, arrest is absolutely possible.

I was distraught over the highest odds. If that’s really the case, what should I do? How much time has passed since then?

First, while trying to check the clock, I remembered that there was no separate clock function. So what is the function that can check the passage of time?

Grumble.

At that time, the inside of my stomach rumbled, as if laughing at my serious situation. What’s even more intense is the hunger that comes with it.

I groaned between my teeth, feeling a hunger that bordered on pain. It hurt more now than when I got hit by the knife.

“eww.”

I finally groaned. “huh?” Then there was a sound nearby. It was a human sound.

However, when I actually felt the presence of people, calling was like that again. I need to let them know that I’m awake, but when I let them know, it’s because I wasn’t fully aware of the situation.

It was even more so since he was detained without knowing the reason. It occurred to me that if I pretended to wake up here, my hair might get all dangling.

“Is it because of my mood?…”

I waited quietly, holding my breath, and finally the people around me let down their guard. Relief welled up in my heart.

It gave me time to think again.

But the problem is that even though I have time to think, I have no clue what to figure out. At least I don’t even know how much time has passed…?

Oh wait a minute. If you’re hungry, doesn’t that mean your feeling of fullness has decreased?

I briefly opened the status window to get a clearer picture. I was very fortunate that the status window didn’t disappear just because I closed my eyes.

「Stamina 2457/2457 Magic

power 2785/2785

Fatigue 51

Saturation 0」

I pushed through the statuses that I had never properly checked since I wasn’t uploading them, and then checked the information I wanted to see. My first thought was that it was a little strange.

Aside from fatigue and satiety, the state of magical energy was strange. It was originally 1500 units? Why did it become a scam?

I kept looking at the magical energy compartment with a strange feeling. It seems like at least 3 days have passed since I’ve reached the bottom of my satiety… Why did my magic power really increase? It’s almost twice as big. why?

But that wasn’t all that surprised me.

「Anger│Anger can be either strength or poison.

Effect: Negates all status ailments and ignores additional status ailments.

A new madness gauge is created, and as you perform certain actions, the madness gauge fills up.

※The skill is automatically activated in certain situations.」

「Magic Spear│Creates a spear made of magic power in the air and sends it to the desired location.

Effect: Consumes 20 magic power. Penetrating attack with 200% damage to the enemy.」

「Bombard│Ejects a mass of magical power twisted in a spiral shape forward.

Effect: Consumes 100 horsepower. Attacks enemies within range with 600% damage.」

「Three claws│Adds two trajectories to the swung prongs.

Effect: When activated, two trajectories are added to all attacks. The magic power consumption of the skill changes three times.」

「Magic power control│You can fine-tune your magic power.」

There was nothing I could do anyway. My level went up and I gained points.

Crucially, when I tried to check whether my magic power had exploded due to the creation of a new skill, a truly new skill popped out.

what?

Even the first skill was the same as the status ailment I had.

It’s no longer a status ailment, but it’s become fixed as a passive skill that I activate on my own.

The second and third are roughly like long-distance attack skills.

The fourth one… I think I understand, but I’m not completely sure. I guess I’ll have to check it out later.

Lastly, the fifth skill… I don’t know any more about this. I was wondering if it was this guy’s fault that the amount of magic power increased, but there was no mention of the amount increasing in the description, right?

Additionally, just looking at the explanation makes me wonder what this is.

I really don’t understand.

“What on earth are you trying to show me…”

At that time, a familiar voice was heard along with the sound of something opening. It’s probably like a wind hand… right?

“…Is that a demon knight?”

“yes.”

“Why why is that person…!”

I listened to their conversation without showing any signs of it. When I heard that I had been sealed, I almost got excited for a moment, but I calmed down again because the restraint and sealing were all there.

Rather, what I need to focus on is that I really went crazy…

Wow, the madness gauge is scary. I couldn’t believe it, but it really makes them run wild without any distinction. It also blows the player’s mind.

It was a skill well suited to the profession of Demon Knight. Of course, I never hope for it! If possible, I would like you to delete it immediately! shit!

“Did you see the castle with the middle part destroyed?”

“what?”

“The knight Nari did it.”

But what did I do now?

I couldn’t hold back and started shaking slightly.

In fact, I had no sense, so I wasn’t even aware that I had moved my body. I just heard the faint sound of the chain and thought, ‘Huh? ‘Did I move?’ That’s what I wanted.

“…for a moment.”

But I guess it was visible to other people. A voice that seemed to belong to the Inquisitor cut through the center, and the sound of footsteps approached quickly.

“Has the devil knight awakened?”

At that point, I decided it was time to get up.

Sigh.

I shook the chains that were constricting my body—perhaps?—

“So… can you hear me clearly? If you can hear me, please shake your head.”

More than that, wow, how do I really look at the kids’ faces? You must have had a hard time subduing me. Of course, the one that has the advantage is the Inquisitor.

“Are you really a demon knight? If it is correct, please nod your head up and down.”

…no. This is not what I need to worry about right now.

“You’re really awake!”

Is this the kind of person who would shamelessly ignore the concept of a cancer demon knight?

“Please wait a moment. “I will release you.”

Even like the last time – when moving from Somon to Tatara – it wasn’t just a brief attack, it was so violent that it even got sealed?

Of course, the reason I went on a rampage wasn’t because I was eaten by the devil, it was just a skill penalty. However, to others, it will definitely be the former. Honestly, the only thing I can explain to them is the former.

Moreover, I even acted like a devil so that Luk Quan and I could live together! It was just an act, but the other kids will never know!

Hahahahaha.

What should I do now…? If it were a concept, you would never allow yourself to have such a big incident, right?

Sreuk.

Meanwhile, what was blocking my eyes disappeared. It was fortunate that the surroundings were not overly bright.

I got used to the light by blinking a few times.

“I’ll open your mouth too.”

As my eyes adjusted to the light, the sight of my son-in-law began to come into view. The Inquisitor was kneeling in front of me and bringing his hand to my face.

Thanks to that, I was able to see the kimchi dumpling’s face directly. White and chubby cheeks, green eyes that sparkle as always, or red hair shaved off on one side…?

More than that, why did he shave his head again?

I barely managed to stop the pupil earthquake. In my shallow memory, which is of little help, a part of the ‘red’ hair rising into the air coincidentally remains. After that, Kimchi Mandu swung his mace at me.

In other words, it looks like I am the culprit.

Slurp.

“That’s it.”

The piece of cloth that sealed my mouth finally fell off, but my mouth still refused to fall off. It was natural. What shame do I have for choosing to speak my mind!

Moreover, due to the devil knight concept, what I could say was limited.

“Demon knight?”

I… I guess I’ll have to ask you to kill me directly with my own mouth, right?

“How many people have died?”

Ugh. Just that, please!

I asked anything to buy as much time as possible. Of course, this was also a question chosen after intense deliberation.

There are only a few things I can say about this concept before telling you to kill me.

“doesn’t exist.”

However, no matter how much I thought about it during the time I earned, there was no way my concept could get out of this situation. It was even more so because I didn’t know the extent of the damage I had caused or the progress of the incident.

“There is no need for proper words.”

Taking advantage of that opportunity, the shackles around his neck fell off with a crash. I didn’t even know it was hanging.

My throat felt itchy and I couldn’t breathe for a moment, and then I lost my mind and realized what I had done first.

“It’s true.”

Ah, my back feels weak.

thud.

In addition to the Inquisitor, others beat the wizard and broke the chain that was fastening his waist.

Thanks to this, my back naturally bent. I must have starved for over 3 days, but would I have the strength to straighten my back? The chain was both a restraint and a support for me.

My body felt like it was leaning forward. Because his hands were tied separately, he could not even stand on his arm first.

“I…”

My hair is barely there… my forehead? The area between the crown of the head and the forehead was stamped on the floor first. I somehow strengthened my waist to prevent it from falling down.

But does avoiding falling over make anything different other than living?

“I…”

I tried to turn the happiness circuit over and over again as much as I could, but this is all I can say.

“I am not worthy of being alive. “Kill me.”

…I guess I can’t avoid death.

I’m crying.

“Demon knight!”

“I told you to kill me.”

Of course, I don’t really want a retry. I’ve told you this many times, but it’s so hard to wake up again.

But what can we do when this damned concept absolutely refuses to allow it?

In the end, I cried out for death without even wishing for it—as I have always done since I started playing this game. If you don’t ask for it, it’s just like, ‘You’re a cafe.’ I couldn’t challenge it because it seemed like it would be a ‘die’ ending.

“I mean, kill me right now…!”

Ha, but can I still save him?

“What are you talking about, sir?”

Dev helped me upright as I fell forward. As my upper body straightened, I felt something lukewarm flowing down the bridge of my nose.

My eyes widened.

“You can’t do that!”

“No, you will have to.”

No no. If possible, I hope you never do that.

If you retry, you can definitely create a better situation than now, but you can reduce the damage and do it quickly without falling into a trap, but you can start over without that damn passive skill, but still… Wow

. With that being said, does it seem like restarting is much better?

“That is what you will do.”

No, I thought wrong. Know when the restart point is and retry.

This damn game doesn’t have a manual save function, so you can’t load it using a save file, and you can’t restart it using autosave.

Please note that there are several reasons why the latter is not possible.

Firstly, if I directly instruct a restart, only a system window like “Impossible command” appears. Secondly, in the case of a restart through GAME OVER… Regardless of whether it is

possible or not, the current situation itself is a bit of an obstacle.

Because the last autosave must have happened after the fight!

Isn’t automatic cancer saving called ‘automatic’ saving because it is automatically saved every time a major event is completed?

Judging by my experience with the game over a long period of time, even if I press restart from the last save point, I’m sure I’ll be past the part I want, right?

“Kill me right now.”

Oh wait. Looking at it this way, isn’t it Litra and all, and I’m just screwed? If the auto-save time is after recapture, I’ll have to keep looking at this shit, right?

crazy. crazy. crazy!

“….”

Either the operator or the status window or the system. Anyway, whatever. Please give this poor guy a reset button. I’m begging you like this.

Even if you ask me to do it all over again, I really won’t say anything. No, it would be better if you said yes. Now, let’s clear up the concept.

So please reset Burteu!!

“Why are you hesitating!”

I chased those who were silent in front of me. Of course, the intention was exactly the opposite.

In any case, if I wasn’t given a reset button, the only way I could head into the future was at their mercy.

Actually, I have to shut my mouth and whine for you to kill me.

shit. Is this extreme contradiction really real? My heart swells…

“I guess it’s not your job to keep the devil alive!”

Just take a look. Just take a look. Chew my words just this once!! please!!

Inside, I desperately cried out for help, and with my mouth I made long-winded requests for death. Mortal death was not far away.

My neck felt stiff.

“Hey, what are you talking about?”

“Nari…”

And when everyone was overwhelmed by my shout—no, you shouldn’t be overwhelmed! You have to convince me! Or you should chew my words! Hey!—The Inquisitor chewed his lips.

Did it come out too much? Regret slowly raised its head.

“I don’t think you are the devil.”

…But the kimchi dumplings did not disappoint my expectations.

“If you were really a devil, there would be no reason for you to ask me to kill you.”

The kimchi dumplings were divine!

* * *

“under!”

A sharp sound of laughter echoed throughout the hall. The voice, cracked without any moisture, is like looking at ruins covered by the four winds.

“Then why did you tie me up? For that reason, can I say that what I had did not run wild? How can you say that there is any other reason why the evil within me did not run rampant!”

It was a product of decline and decline. Things that are going extinct and hopefully that is the only future.

“…Say it again. “Your job is to kill the devil, and my job is to kill the devil.”

Is that why? The figure that shook off the thief’s support and stood upright as usual looked unusually small.

It looks infinitely similar to his usual steely self, but somehow you can still hear the resignation in his voice.

“So… make sure each of you can fulfill your mission.”

so.

That’s why.

She couldn’t open her mouth without permission. A few people exclaimed that the silence of others was aroused because they felt the same way.

“…My mission is.”

But you can’t keep your mouth shut forever. The Inquisitor spoke for a long time.

“It’s about saving people from the devil. Not killing innocent people. In addition, you… are not someone I need to kill.”

Is this right? I don’t know about that. Just try. As always.

“How can I kill you, who resisted until the last moment even though your body was taken over by the devil, and who finally stopped before killing the person?”

Because that was the path she had to take.

“…drivel. “Just because no one died this time, do you think there won’t be one next time?”

A rebuttal came back to the words that were so difficult to say. Those were somewhat painful words. Even she can’t hastily deny those words.

“If you’re going to let down your guard and rely on a moment of luck, that’s fine. Take off the shackles. “If you won’t do it, I will.”

But that cannot be accepted. I don’t want to accept it.

“If only it was luck.”

Why is the devil knight diagnosing the devil? He doesn’t lose. Didn’t we finally overcome this time?

“Next time it will be inevitable.”

So please don’t say things like that.

As always, I hope you build your pride and be confident of victory. As if she confidently moved forward in a moment of confusion, as if she calmly brought down what seemed impossible to possible.

“I will make it happen. “I will never let the evil you bear run rampant and cause harm to anyone.”

If she does that, she herself will be able to follow him.

“So please believe me one more time.”

The Inquisitor finished his speech with that. Now she didn’t know whether this would work or not. She did her best.

“…why.”

And at the end of a long silence and a long period of silence.

“Why are you so sure I can suppress the devil?”

The demon knight quietly asked a question. It was an easy question.

“Because that’s the kind of person I see you as.”

A crunching sound was heard.

“…There will never be another idiot like you in the world.”

A clear white flag was waved.

It was a heartwarming ending.

Even though she doesn’t know the other side of the conversation, ‘Isn’t it a kabung if I accept it here?’ I kept thinking, ‘If I try to type some more lines, maybe the Inquisitor will cover up the trolling.’
