Episode 81
As Youngjun Kim’s head exploded with an explosion sound, there was silence in the lobby for a moment.
Youngjun Kim disappeared like the wind from the screen, and only the orc warriors were still wandering the forest path, screaming.
“… … no way.”
“He’s not really dead, is he?”
An ominous feeling came over me.
“You will be alive! “It’s just a game!”
“that’s right! When a person’s head explodes, there’s no way it actually makes that kind of explosion sound! “It’s just a game, a game!”
I try to think that way, but everyone probably feels the same way.
Everyone knows it.
There is no mischief in anything that happens in this tower.
[Player Youngjun Kim has passed away.]
The tower’s message eventually declared death.
“What a piece of shit!”
“There was no warning before the game!”
Players from District 2 screamed in rage.
Unfortunately, it was Kim Young-jun’s mistake who thought the game was simple.
If you think about it, the fact that all of humanity was brought to this tower happened without any warning.
We are simply beings who struggle to survive.
You cannot protest against the unfairness of the rules, and you cannot end the game at will.
In this endless game, the only thing we can do is walk a tightrope.
We can’t even ask the question “Why?” yet.
It was also Oh Du-ho’s role to organize the players from District 2.
Strangely enough, they calmed their excitement with just one word from Oh Du-ho.
This is probably an effect of the general’s job characteristics.
“Hey, Jeonghyeok Choi. “I think you should definitely apply for the second order.”
Choi Jeong-hyeok nodded at Oh Du-ho’s words.
“It’s my fault. “I should have taken first place.”
An uncharacteristically serious tone of voice.
This was proof that the current atmosphere in our lobby was heavy.
“But what on earth was the problem with Kim Young-jun just now?”
It was a very meaningless death for someone who had confidently volunteered to be first.
“It’s probably a matter of adaptation. “The character in the game would have completely different specifications than the real person.”
I also agreed with Choi Jeong-hyuk.
The movements he showed on screen were just awkward.
It’s like moving around wearing clothes that don’t fit.
“He died simply because he couldn’t adapt to his new body?”
“It’s not simple at all. The characters in the game will be significantly nerfed from our actual specs. “If we don’t control our bodies precisely, we will never be able to face the orc warriors in the game.”
It was indeed the insight of a professional gamer.
Just by looking at Kim Young-jun, who was playing the game earlier, Choi Jeong-hyeok had already come to a conclusion that was close to certainty.
I too was fully convinced by his words.
[Choose a second player.]
“Let me play it and share my review. “It will definitely be helpful to you.”
After a while, Choi Jeong-hyuk entered the screen.
* * *
Everyone watched Choi Jeong-hyuk play in fascination.
According to the interface, the specifications are the same as those of Kim Young-jun.
However, we were impressed by the fact that such different outputs could be produced with the same character.
Jeonghyeok Choi carefully attacked the Orc warriors.
He never seemed to be in a hurry, just testing things out.
The same area was attacked once with a fist and again with a foot.
We also attacked various parts of the Orcs and observed the monster’s reaction.
Sometimes, they showed a research attitude that intentionally allowed Orc attacks.
The surprising fact was that Choi Jeong-hyeok’s movements were becoming sharper as time passed.
[Quest accomplished.]
Unlike Kim Young-jun, Choi Jeong-hyuk appeared right in front of us.
“I have one good news and one bad news. “What do you want to hear first?”
Choi Jeong-hyuk seemed to have figured out something.
After all, being a professional gamer is a fraudulent job within the top.
“Bad news first!”
Many people shouted in unison.
It would be better to get beaten first.
“There was no special weakness against orcs. “No matter where the attack occurred, the reaction was similar.”
I thought they were testing various things, but it was also to find weaknesses.
Since we couldn’t see the orc warrior’s blood on screen, we had no choice but to trust Choi Jeong-hyeok’s experience.
Perhaps what he said is correct.
“So what’s the good news?”
“As expected, there are no special weaknesses. In other words, it means that no matter where you hit it, you get the same shock. “Whether you hit the head or kick the butt, it’s the same if you attack with the same power.”

I’m not sure if this is good news, but it’s definitely useful information.
There is no need to aim for critical points; just aim for the easiest place to attack at that time.
Jeonghyeok Choi continued to share his review.
“I’ve given you bad news and good news one by one, so now I think I have to tell you one really bad news. “I think a lot of us will probably go to Kim Young-jun’s side.”
“what?”
It was truly a shocking declaration.
Jeonghyeok Choi concluded calmly.
He said that the characters in the game have much lower specs than the orc warriors, and that this must ultimately be overcome through control.
He also added that this is a very difficult challenge for ordinary players.
“Your survival or death will be determined by how much you have trained so far.”
It was a truly ironic conclusion.
It’s a game mission, but it’s not very game-like.
Jeonghyeok Choi said that the training we have done so far will affect the controls in the game.
“It would be different if you were born with control like me.”
In the end, it’s all about boasting about yourself.
Choi Jeong-hyeok’s wife, Oh Min-ah, who applied for the next position, also told a similar story.
Although she analyzed information about orc warriors more thoroughly, her conclusion was that control was also important.
After the two professional gamers finished the game, it was finally their turn.
No one is willing to step forward.
Not everyone is sure what level of control they have.
Anyway, I was planning on being next.
I am a gladiator, but I trained to the point of losing my swordsmanship skills. Because there is no training insect like me.
It may not be as good as professional gamers, but the quest will be easy to complete, so I thought I would help accumulate information about this mission.
“I will do the next one.”
And the moment my turn was decided, there was a message notification sound.
[The strategy book has been sent.]
It’s amazing timing.
I quickly skimmed through the contents of the strategy book.
“And let me make you a promise.”
“Hoyoung Lee, what promise do you mean?”
“I promise that when I return here, I will bring information that will help all of you survive.”
“Everyone survives? “That’s impossible!”
Choi Jeong-hyuk immediately refuted.
“Hey, Hoyoung Lee! My wife and I are professional gamers. Our diagnosis is correct! But what do you gain by misleading people like that? popularity?”
“I came back to talk about that.”
I moved into the screen with the tower’s message.
* * *
The mystery of the tower was amazing.
The body of a newly acquired character.
As Choi Jeong-hyeok said, my current abilities have been significantly nerfed from my original abilities.
Physical strength, agility, strength, and senses were all at a pathetic level to survive in the game, and there were no skills, jobs, or items.
From now on, you have to rely solely on control.
‘ah! There’s one more.’
This is the strategy book sent by the wise man’s status window.
Where I am now is
I started to backtrack at the start of the game.
One step, one step.
Of course, you can’t go back indefinitely.
The background of the game is a created world. There will definitely be space limitations.
And it didn’t take long to get there.
Wow-
Eventually, I felt a heavy sensation on my back.
You have reached an area that appears to be an open space but does not exist after that.
If you look at the hologram screen, the area behind me will probably be black.
Of course, there was a purpose for coming here.
[Strategy: Reach into the space behind the veil and obtain the item.]
In the end, the hand stretched back passed the barrier.
As I fumbled around the space, I felt the feel of a solid handle.
‘knife!’
I’m so used to it now that it feels like a part of me.
Although it is not as high grade as the Indomitable Sword, this will be sufficient.
The sword will increase my reach and destructive power by several levels.
When my hand came out of the barrier, I was holding an old long sword.
I feel like I’m feeling the way I felt during the tutorial again.
‘let’s go!’
Orc warriors can be dealt with lightly.
Now all you have to do is take forward steps.
* * *
“You all saw it on the screen, so I don’t need to explain it.”
When I returned to the lobby, people’s faces were mesmerized.
I thought there would be loud cheers.
“item! Can I get it that way?”
Seo Jun-ho asked.
“yes. “I tried it because it reminded me of a game I played before, and it worked.”
After acquiring the item, there was no hesitation in my strategy.
There was no reason to hide my power, so I immediately used my martial arts sword and cut down the orc warrior.
“hey! When you get an item, is the skill automatically registered?”
This time, Oh Du-ho asked.
To those who don’t know me well, Muyeongchuhongeom may be seen as a
You’ll be embarrassed if the skill you expected doesn’t activate.
“What I did wasn’t a skill, so don’t do anything foolish and just fight with control. “Even if you only have one sword, it will be much easier to deal with orc warriors.”
“It wasn’t a skill? Does that make sense? Just by looking at it, it looks like an advanced skill.”
It’s an advanced skill.
When Master hears this, he will be completely furious.
It’s all my fault.
With the nerfed abilities, the level of martial arts sword I can unleash is just this high.
Of course, even this would be shocking to most people here.
“I told you! “Everyone here will now be riding Hoyoung’s bus.”
Ko Yong-woo seemed very excited about my performance.
In fact, most people from our district look similar.
I felt like I was a national soccer player and scored a goal.
“Then I will take the next step.”
Seo Jun-ho, a gladiator like me, stepped forward.
My previous strategy must have given him positive inspiration, so Seo Jun-ho will succeed in the strategy without difficulty.
“It’s me next!”
This time it’s Kim Se-yong.
Se-yong Kim also has nothing to worry about.
He is a player who has excellent natural sense and has trained harder than anyone else.
The atmosphere in the lobby was taking a sudden turn.
I hope that these two players will successfully attack the Orc warriors and serve as a good example.
