The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 26

Episode 26

Disguised Identity

“Oh, I can’t believe you were Eve’s friend! I guess I should at least upgrade my room! ha ha ha!”

“…That’s it. “What a chance to be a friend.”

I was sitting at the counter, drinking the special beer Lucard had given me.

Gulp gulp.

“Ugh, I think I need to pour some soju for this.”

“Yes? what?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

The beer didn’t taste as bad as it was portrayed in the original, and my mind was in turmoil.

Eve.

This was Irgal’s real name, which High Priest Varmilo had tipped off.

So I was confused.

‘It’s a woman’s name, right?’

‘Irgal’, which I was first introduced to, was a name that suited the black guy very well.

But no matter what anyone says, ‘Eve’ was a woman’s name.

It was a name that could not possibly go with something as huge as Gomtaengi.

And something even more embarrassing.

‘You’re Eve from the Duchy of Wyler?’

From the moment I heard that name, a face appeared in my mind.

I knew a woman named ‘Eve Wyler’ very well.

She was an NPC.

< Eve Rottweiler >

[Character] Also known as ‘Genius Little Princess’. She is the beautiful and intelligent granddaughter of Archduke Weiler.

During the regular scenario ‘Crack in the Alliance’, he is captured by a rival faction and goes missing.

There was no mistaking this.

Eve, the granddaughter of Archduke Wyler, was a unique entity within this worldview.

As is clearly stated in the character description, she was a girl so beautiful and strong that it was difficult to compare her to anyone else in the world.

However, as the story of the principality progresses, he is also a character who inevitably faces death.

‘That’s why it was ranked as the number one NPC that players wanted to save.’

Eve Wyler is caught up in a political fight within the principality and is sacrificed.

Just like the 3rd prince of Gilroshan where I reside.

‘Of course, the background is a bit different.’

Gilroshan was so incompetent that he was pushed out as a victim of the secret struggle between the empire and the revolutionary army, but Eve was the complete opposite.

The brothers, fearful of her outstanding abilities, plotted to drive Eve out.

Although she was smart, she was so young that she had no background to protect herself.

So I became very serious.

‘How on earth did this happen?’

I thought Yrgal was definitely a player character.

Because there he was in the player’s place!

In the Third Prince Assassination event, it was clearly the player character’s job to drive the carriage, contact High Priest Varmilo, and hand over Giloshan.

‘Surely you could have gotten some extra experience points with that, probably?’

Since Irgal was playing that role, I thought he must be a player.

When escaping from the black market, he even made a subtle show of it by talking about his own ‘quest’!

‘But now you’re saying it was actually Eve Wyler?’

I don’t understand at all.

Why is the Little Princess, who should be dead in the Duchy of Wyler, suddenly kidnapping the 3rd Prince in the mountains with the revolutionary army?

Above all, Eve was a small and petite girl, befitting a minor princess.

‘But Irgal is big and bulky, right?’

It’s a span taller than me or Carls!

If you just stand still, you’ll look like you’ve been draped in rags by a wild bear!

…rags?

At that moment, there was one item that passed through my mind like lightning.

I looked away from my beer glass and looked at Lucard.

“Wait a minute, owner. “Please look at me.”

“hmm? “What’s going on?”

“Has there been any trouble at the border guard barracks recently?”

“Troublesome?”

“Well, there was a thief in the barracks, or valuable items disappeared…”

I asked carefully, and Lucard thought about it for a moment and nodded.

“Ah, not recently, but something like that happened a few months ago. “There was a thief in the barracks, but we couldn’t catch him in the end.”

It was said that the case remained unsolved and the culprit could not be caught.

The border guard blamed the city guard in charge of security.

The security guard, who had been standing still and was struck by lightning, stood up and asked, “What kind of army would be robbed by a petty thief?”

So, that petty thief…

‘I think it’s him.’

I get a feeling.

I can feel it!

“So there was no mention of anything missing?”

“Hmm, I heard that some kind of cloak is missing? “It was called a balloon or something?”

“…!”

also.

I knew exactly what the cloak was and what function it had.

< Bubble Cloak >

[Clothing] A magic cloak made by a designer who has reached the level of a demi-god. If you wear it and infuse it with magical power, you can change the shape of your body to your liking and hide your identity.

I stole it and used it.

If she wore that ‘bubble cloak’, it would have been entirely possible for the girl to transform into the body of a giant.

‘But I didn’t know you could even change your voice.’

Actually, if I think about it, there was no way I could have known that.

In the original game, all of the player’s lines are processed as text, and it is not specifically described how the voice is controlled through magic or items.

So I thought it was just a big guy covering his face and talking loudly.

‘No, everyone aside, why on earth is Eve Wyler in the player position?’

NPCs!

Why should an NPC die?

“…uh?”

I felt like I was hitting my head for a moment.

“Hmm? “What else are you curious about this time?”

“Oh no.”

After shaking my head at Lucard, I began to seriously think about the idea that just occurred to me.

According to the original story, this is an NPC who must die.

However, the NPC survived without dying and is exploring the wrong place.

This was true for me, and it also applied to Eve Wyler.

then.

‘Could it be that he’s like me?’

…Has he possessed the body of an NPC?

As soon as I thought about it, my body started shaking.

It was a strange feeling that cannot be described in words.

It felt like I was dropped into the world of this game alone, but in reality, that may not be the case…

And one more thing.

‘Maybe he knows why we were suddenly dropped into this world like this.’

If Eve Wyler had fallen into this world earlier than me.

If so, I might know something more about this strange thing.

‘Yes, that can happen.’

It felt like cold spring water was gushing out from somewhere in my body, where the alcohol was swirling around.

If so, I need to prepare a little more.

He told me that we would meet again soon.

It is not yet known what form that meeting will take.

What was clear was that we could not trust each other at all.

Even though they are barely under the same roof now…

‘That guy didn’t hesitate to kidnap Gilroshan and try to kill him.’

Eve Wyler was basically an NPC with anti-imperialist tendencies.

He was a person who believed that the Duchy of Wyler should one day become independent from the Empire.

As someone who remembers that, I couldn’t trust him just because he revealed his identity.

…wait for a sec.

‘Isn’t this it? What if you have a personality that is independent from existing NPCs like me?’

Are you going to have completely different thoughts again?

Otherwise, is the basic direction of thought the same as Eve?

“…I don’t know.”

As I was shaking my head, Lucard chuckled.

“Haha, you seem to be worried about something? In that case, have another drink.”

Even though I didn’t order, they gave me another beer.

Something that has no taste.

Well, it’s a service anyway.

“Thank you. “I will eat it with gratitude.”

Then Lucard tilted his head crookedly.

“huh? What are you talking about? “One silver coin?”

“…Shit.”

It was a robbery with a menu.

For a moment, I thought about throwing it away, asking who asked for it.

Gulp. Gulp.

I swallowed it all in one go.

It’s a little bland, but it’s really cool.

I remember the beer I drank while sitting at the convenience store in front of Gosiwon.

As I put down my glass, I gathered my thoughts.

‘No matter who that guy is or what he’s thinking, it’s the same anyway.’

My survival in this world is what I protect, and I have to become strong as quickly as I can.

“Here are two silver coins.”

I put down the money and looked at the owner.

Then, resting his chin on the table, he slowly opened his mouth.

“Oh, now that I think about it, there’s another friend of mine who knows the owner…”

“Hmm? Who else said they knew me? Haha, my popularity has skyrocketed!”

Yeah, you know.

I know it and you know it too.

A name that all players who have delved even slightly into this game know.

“Sifter.”

Then Lucard’s eyes suddenly changed.

“Chero? “Did you just say Chero?”

I nodded and said.

“I met you yesterday and you said you were a card expert? “You didn’t believe me because I was so absurd.”

But that was partly true.

He deals with ‘cards’.

This is the fate card that the player uses.

“Oh, yesterday? So, where was he yesterday? All I have to do is meet my guy! very! “Ajak!”

“hmm? “Why are you doing that?”

“After all, the alcohol he bilked me into is worth the price of a house!”

When I pretended not to notice, Lucard got excited and shook his fist.

That’s a gross exaggeration.

What kind of credit is the price of a house?

‘I guess I just got scammed with my credit card.’

That was the official setting for the NPC called ‘Chero’.

This guy is a fraud.

At the same time, fate cards are dealt.

‘Unlocks the promotion function of destiny cards.’

That was the benefit it provided to the players.

The player’s ‘Destiny Card’ is referred to in various ways by NPCs in this world.

God’s card.

Cursed card.

Cosmic cards, etc.

That’s how we understand the power that is only available to the player.

Well anyway.

“Find him and bring him to me! Then I will reward you handsomely!”

A spark seemed to fly from Lucard’s eyes.

At the same time, a system message appeared.

[Quest ‘Card Cheater Chero’ is given.]

…with a sense of parody.

The content of the side quest ‘Card Cheater Chero’ was, of course, to find Chero and understand his role.

In fact, this was a quest that must be completed at some point, even if not now.

‘As the game gets to the mid to late stages, higher grade cards become essential.’

Therefore, you must learn the card promotion function through Chero.

But I insisted on calling up this quest now.

Because I needed it right away.

‘Now it’s time to open the D-class card drawing ticket.’

Besides, I was soon level 10.

That meant that it was now time for the second random drawing.

‘Now it’s time to escape from Class F.’

Goodbye, retired gladiator!

I cried out in joy.

However, on the outside, he looked a bit troubled and scratched his chin.

“Hmm, really? I had no idea Chero was that kind of guy. Still, it’s a bit much to capture a friend and offer him up…”

This is how you should always do things when dealing with NPCs.

Lucard shouted urgently.

“Ah, yes. They say the beast people are terrible at making friends, right? But he is a very heinous fraudster! “He’s not someone worth having as a friend!”

“Hmm, it’s still a little…”

“Once you catch it, I’ll compensate you so you won’t be offended!”

“What… so that I don’t feel upset?”

“I’ll give you the sword I used! How is it!”

“Okay! Thank you, thank you!”

Lucard had a look on his face, but I was already getting up from my seat.

[Negotiation with an NPC on friendly terms was successful.]

[‘Retiree’s Artificial Sword’ is added to the expected reward for the quest ‘Card Cheater Chero’.]

“I can get Chero for you tomorrow.”

In fact, catching it was possible not tomorrow, but this evening as well.

I knew very well where Chero would be by now.

But before that, we had to plan some strategy in advance.

This time, I had to get the right card.

I was planning to use the card draw ticket to my advantage by using a sieve.

‘At least C grade card.’

More than that if possible!
