Episode 2–Protagonist (2)

Episode 2 - Protagonist([-])

[Sponsor selection has ended]

I took a deep breath and looked at the messages floating in the air.

[Some zodiac signs are greatly affected by your choices. ]

Yes, start now.

[Your choice made the constellation 'Abyss Black Flame Dragon' very unhappy. ] The constellation belonging to the black cloud was shocked by the anger of the abyss black flame dragon.You won't be sponsored by any black cloud constellations for the time being. ]

I'm not surprised because it's an expected message.

Made every single member of his team leave because he was rejected... looks like this guy is Kim Nam-woon's patron in the original.Unsurprisingly, the embodiment of this constellation.

[The constellation 'Demonic Judge of Fire' is disappointed in you. ][In the future it will relentlessly monitor your justice. ]

For Archangel Uriel, it was just a disappointment.First of all, absolutely good signs rarely hate a person unless they have committed a great injustice.

[The Constellation "Secret Mastermind" is interested in your choices. ]

[200 coins have been sponsored]

The "secret strategist" did something unexpected.Given the nature of the name, perhaps he valued my caution.

[The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Hoop is interested in your choice. ]

And Monkey King...

I am anxious.Is my choice correct?I have no idea.Perhaps I have lost the golden opportunity in front of me.

[You have not selected a sponsor]

But choosing a particular constellation means being limited by the possibilities, and sponsorship deals are never a fair deal.

I would survive.? But I wouldn't survive by being their toys.? And if my expectations I would survive.But if I become their toy, I can't live.If my anticipation is correct, there is a way to get powerful without astrology.Maybe it's a way more powerful than the avatar of the strongest sponsor.

【Haha, is this true... Isn't there an interesting option? Well, yes, there will be another opportunity. 】

The ghost's crescent eyes rested on me for a moment.

[Now, everyone has chosen.Rest here for a while.I have to get ready for the next scene. See you in 10 minutes]

After sponsor selection was over, the ghost disappeared and he told us to take a break, but those 10 minutes were really important.

In 10 minutes, I need to sort out the situation and prepare myself for the following scenario.I try to recall my abilities in my mind.

[Character List][Omniscient Reader's Perspective].

I don't yet know exactly what these skills are for, but I have a general idea of ​​what they are.

"Everyone, get together."

The survivors gathered together after listening to my words, and the first one to reach out was Li Xiancheng.

"Hi, I'm Li Xiancheng."

"The only son of gold."

"Nice to meet you...although I don't know if those words fit the situation. As I said before, I'm a soldier... well, I should say I was a soldiers."

"Can't you contact your unit?"

"...Yes."

My hand was held tightly.Unsurprisingly, this tank appeared in the early stages of Inactivation Law.

I have to take Lee Hyun Sung with me.He might not look like much right now, but Lee Hyun-sung is an increasingly important character in the second half of Inactivation Act.

"Ah, only son."

"What's up?"

"I want to thank you. We'd all die if we didn't have an only son."

"No, that's not the case."

"Even if I survived, I wouldn't be able to live as a human being again. Thank you so much. And...I'm ashamed."

Li Xiancheng bowed deeply.My mind is a bit complicated.In fact Lee Hyun Sung would have survived even if I hadn't done anything.

Then someone grabbed my shoulder.

"Haha, our staff has done a great thing. Only son, do you know my name?"

I can tell who it is without turning around, I said, taking my hands off my shoulders.

"I know, Han Mingwu."

"Hey, Han Mingwu, shouldn't you call me Minister?"

In this case, Han Mingwu still tried to take advantage of his position.He really is the king of corporate supremacy.

"This is not the company."

"Huh, look at this. Are you planning on not going to work now? Where did you learn basic manners?"

When I saw Han Mingwu's angry face, I realized once again that the world I was familiar with was over.

Before the plot started, the man in front of me was a predator of the world.And I'm just the prey of a predator.Of course it is.

"Whatever I think, you've gone too far. What's the matter? If you had those insects, you should have told me. Why did you throw them like that?"

"..."

"Only son, you have to be nice to me. How much time is left on your contract?"

All of a sudden, it all seemed ridiculous, and I was too weak for the world I lived in.

"Han Mingwu."

"Um?"

"To shut up."

"what?"

"Don't you understand the situation now? Didn't you get beaten by that bastard before, Minosoft? Do you think this company will still exist when the end comes?"

Han Mingwu's face was pale and haggard.

I turned my gaze to the others, and since I've said it, I should stick to it.

"Han Mingwu is not the only problem. Guys, you need to wake up. As the ghost said, this is not a joke."

"..."

"..."

"I think you all should have roughly noticed the situation. Exclusive skills in the properties window. A game-like interface. Is there anyone else who hasn't figured it out?"

In fact, no hands were raised.Due to the high penetration rate of smartphones, there is not a single person who has not played RPG games.

Even if they don't play games, they at least read fantasy novels.

Li Xiancheng sighed.

It's like I'm standing on a post reading a novel, but I still can't feel it.Isn't this really a dream?"

"this is the truth."

My stern answer caused Li Xiancheng's expression to change slightly.

The Lee Hyun Sung character has a little trust in you.

[Your understanding of the character 'Lee Hyun Sung' has increased]

Li Xiancheng nodded.

"It's good of you to be so sure. So what shall we do now? Only son, do you have any opinion?"

"We have to go."

I answered without hesitation.

"Go? Are you crazy?"

"Only son, I don't think..."

This time, Yoo Sang Ah also joined in, it seemed that everyone hadn't woken up yet.

"So how long are we going to stay here?"

In fact, my argument makes no sense.It's a monster's paradise outside.but I know.We must get out of here now.

"Have you thought about your parents? Do you think your parents are safe in this chaos?"

"The phone line has been down for a while, no calls..."

Yoo Sang Ah cried out in despair.

In fact, Confucianism is still prevalent in Korea, and even Lee Hyun-sung and Han Myung-wu become overshadowed when they hear the word "parents"

I grabbed Li Jiyong's shoulder, he lowered his head, the first one to stand up was Yoo Sang Ah.

"Go ahead, I'll go out."

"No, no! Didn't you hear what that thing said? Rest here! Our heads might explode if we move!"

"Let's go to the vote."

Yoo Sang Ah raised her hand first, followed by Lee Ji Yong and me.

"...I have to get back to base, but it seems dangerous to move under these conditions. There are warnings."

"Damn it, go yourselves! I'm not going! I'm not going out!"

I don't care about Han Myung Woo but the problem is Lee Hyun Sung.I'm going to take Lee Hyun Sung anyway.

Bang!

The thick iron plates made a loud noise, and the iron door of carriage No. 3707 was slightly twisted.

"what?"

When the iron gate made a deafening sound again, Han Mingwu's shout was ignored.

Bang!

Someone is trying to break in.This is an unexpected situation, so I had to think.

Is it the next scene? Nope.The ghost hasn't come back yet.Then...

My mind was spinning quickly, my hairs stood on end, and my body trembled slightly.

"What? Everybody stop!"

Han Mingwu shouted and walked towards the door.Li Xiancheng also walked towards the door, but I stopped him.

"You can't stop it."

"what?"

"We have to go."

I looked at the iron door with heavy eyes.

"Huh? But..."

"If we don't go now..."

The sole survivor of wagon 3707.I know exactly who is behind the iron gate.

"We're all going to die before the next scene comes."

Yep, that guy is finally here.The real protagonist of this story.

Episode 2–Protagonist (3)

Episode 3 - Protagonist([-])

I stared straight into the eyes of Li Xiancheng and Han Mingwu and said.

"Do you want to die at the hands of the guy over there at the iron gate, or do you want to try your luck outside the subway? Which would you choose?"

"Uh......"

"Only son, can you guarantee that the person behind the iron gate is the enemy?"

The Iron Sword Emperor spoke at a critical moment.That's why Lee Hyun Sung can't be the team leader.

"Because they came from another car, they are likely to be survivors. If we meet..."

I didn't continue, but looked at the bloody room, Li Xiancheng followed my gaze and said quietly.

"...I was so careless. Let's find a way out."

"Go! Go!"

At this moment, both of them realized.The survivors in other cars will experience the same thing.They won't have good luck finding "insects"

"This is broken!"

"Damn, we can't go this way!"

Listening to the frustrated voices of Li Xiancheng and Han Mingwu, I also checked the door.Without the barrier, the door can now be touched.

In addition to the doors connecting passages, there are a total of eight entrances and exits on the subway.There are three exits that have yet to be confirmed.

Bang!

It seemed that the iron gate would not last even a minute.

Despite being the main character, I didn't expect him to have such a high power in the beginning.I was really surprised that he was able to break through such a thick iron gate.

"Only son! Here-"

I found a hand switch cabinet that works.

"Do not!"

The opening and closing mechanism worked smoothly, but the door didn't open right away.The door opened about a fifth of the way, then stopped as if stuck.

"...It seems to be broken here too."

"What about other places?"

"It seemed like the only place we could escape."

This is unknown to a child.But the gap is too small for both men and women to escape.Han Mingwu and Li Xiancheng tried to pull the door open, but the door did not move.

[coin owned: 4700c]

One of the uses of coins is to improve the overall stats.I've used 2700 coins to reach stamina level 10.

This problem can be solved if I use the remaining coins to strengthen my power.But it is not wise to use coins when the situation is uncertain.

Ultimately, there is only one way to go.

"Li Xiancheng, use your skills."

"Huh?" "Skills..."

I quietly activated the character list.

[Exclusive skill, character list is activated. ]

[Character Profile]

Name: Lee Hyun Sung

Age: 28 years old.

Constellation Sponsor: Iron Masters.

Personal attribute: Soldier who turns a blind eye to injustice (general)

Exclusive skills: bayonet skill lv.2, camouflage lv.2, patience lv2.

Star Trace: Dashantui lv.1

Overall attributes: stamina lv.8, strength lv.8, agility lv.7, magic lv.5

Overall Evaluation: The overall data is very good.Although he is far from injustice, he gets a constellation choice.This is another opportunity for him.

I read Lee Hyun Sung's messages without limit.Luckily the sponsor is the same as I read in Inactivation Law.

You should check this when opening the properties window.Lee Hyun Sung is a soldier, so you have to have a skill to use in this situation. "

"Well...I have one, but how do I use it—"

"Think about using this skill."

"......is this okay?"

"Yes, I've already done that."

Li Xiancheng didn't say anything else, he took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"what!"

Lee Hyun-sung's biceps bulged as he grabbed the door, which is what Dashantui looks like.

In fact, Dashantui is not a skill, but a "star mark" and the star mark is the power from the constellation.To avoid suspicion, I use the word 'skill'.

Both, all, all.

There was a loud sound of springs turning, and the door began to move.

"What? This guy is really strong!"

"That's it! It's amazing!"

[The character "Lee Hyun-sung" has started to trust you] [Your understanding of the character "Lee Hyun-sung" has increased]

Compared to doubts, my reliability has improved, and Li Xiancheng is more nervous than I thought.

"Come on, come down!"

But I felt so relieved that I handed over Lee Ji-yong to Lee Hyun-sung.

"Li Xiancheng, carry the child on your back."

"I see."

Now that iron gate is almost broken.But if my predictions are correct, the iron gate isn't the problem now.

【Ah, that's true.I knew it would be like this.Didn't I see it before?I told you not to go anywhere, damn it!This scene is not ready yet]

The ghost seems angry as it floats on the East River Bridge.

"Wow! I knew it was going to happen! I told you not to come out!"

Han Mingwu covered his head with one hand, as if he thought it was going to explode.But there is no need to worry.

[Alas... there is no way.You are really lucky humans]

This is because the second scene starts from the moment the subway doors open.

(The second scene has arrived!)

[Second Scene - Escape]

Category: Sub

Difficulty: e

Conditions of access: Cross the broken bridge and enter Otsu Station.

Time limit: 20 minutes.

Compensation: 200 coins.

fail:??

"Only son, kind of weird, it says 'broken bridge', but the bridge is still..."

"Don't worry, run! Quick!"

"understood!"

Actually, Yoo Sang Ah was right.That bridge is not broken.In other words, the bridge is about to break

"Only son, come quickly!"

"I am coming."

It ain't broke because we got off the subway too early

The goblin said the prep time was 10 minutes.But we escaped 3 minutes early.

Some might call it an act of cowardice, but there is no way to get through this scene without such a shortcut. ?Especially when I carry such burdens as Yoo Sang Ah and Lee Ji Yong.

"Huchi, Huchi. Indeed, Mr. Li Xiancheng is a soldier with high endurance."

"Don't open your mouth, you'll lose your strength."

Hyun Sung ran first with the child.He's a natural monster with no investment in attributes, but his strength, stamina, and agility combined are over 23.

Han Myung-moo is next, then Yoo Sang-ah, and I'm behind.It's close, but I think we'll make it in time.

"Ah, what is that?"

At this moment, Han Mingwu's scream was heard.There is a huge whirlpool in the center of the Han River, and the water splashes in all directions.

A gigantic monster stands in the center of the splash.ichthyosaur.The problem was that this ichthyosaur was twice the size of the one I saw through the window.

This is not a sea snake, but a sea commander.

An ordinary sea snake is only a level seven monster.Given that it is difficult for normal people to cope with the land speed of a level 9 monster, an ordinary person will be torn to pieces by a level 7 monster.

In other words, this guy here is not a monster to catch in the early stages.Of course, there's no need to grab it.It was not created to be caught.

Library, library, library!

The Han River surged like a tsunami, and the fish and dragons moved.It is biting the leg of the bridge.

"The bridge is breaking!"

"Run! If we run, we can get over it!"

The remaining distance is about 200 meters.If my calculations are correct, we can get across before the bridge collapses at its current rate.

【If the game is too easy, there is no fun】

Of course, this is the case without variables.

[The difficulty of the scheme has been adjusted. ]

[Scene Difficulty: ed]

I heard ghostly laughter.

【If you just run away, what fun is it? Let's create a little atmosphere】

The evil thoughts of the dead are back

The earth around is filled with black ether

(The demonic people have woken up!)

The sound of something chasing us from behind.Liu Shangya muttered to herself.

"Zombie?"

There was a flood of zombie-like bodies, some of whom were in the same car as us.

"We just need to go a little further! Come on!"

The distance to the ichthyosaur is now less than 100 meters.Fortunately, Li Xiancheng crossed the security line with Li Jiyong in his arms.The problem is with the rest of us, including me.Han Mingwu screamed.

"You bastards!"

There are too many zombies.If there were only dead bodies in the subway, we might have escaped.The issue is...

"Kuweeeoooh!"

The driver who died on the bridge turned into a zombie.Lee Hyun-sung's breakthrough path was covered by zombie-like people.I watched the zombies on the road and the approaching ichthyosaur.

"...everybody get down"

too late.

quack quack!

When the huge mouth of the ichthyosaur bit the bridge, the legs of the bridge trembled violently.

The scales of the ichthyosaur glistened in the dust that rained down on the Han River.The area smells of blood and water.

I stood up unsteadily.

Once the dust settled, the scenery around me became clear.Piles of broken concrete and cut steel.The corpses of zombies that were bitten through by ichthyosaurs.

The broken leg of the bridge.

"...the only... son... okay?"

Liu Shangya and Han Mingwu raised their bodies from a little distance away.

One of Han Mingwu's legs seems to be injured and looks very uncomfortable.

Lee Hyun-sung and Lee Ji-yong shouted loudly from across the bridge, but their voices seemed to be blocked by the safety zone.

what do I do?I made plans based on how the bridge would break.But I didn't expect Han Myung Moo and Yoo Sang Ah to be with me.

At this moment, a voice came from the air.

[Someone gets the favor of a constellation. ]

[Constellation scene 'Mechanical God' has been activated]

Accompanied by the sound, a bright bridge of light was formed between the remains of the broken East River Bridge.Then a message surfaced in front of me.

[Mechanical God-Pingqiao]

Description: A bridge of light made of constellations.Only an even number of people can cross the bridge.Once an odd number of people try to cross the bridge, the bridge disappears.

"Only son. This, in my head, suddenly—"

I saw Yoo Sang Ah's eyes, he was talking nonsense, I can probably guess the situation.

Mechanical seance.Constellation stepped into the scene at the risk of great loss.

"...is Yoo Sang Ah's sponsor."

I don't know what zodiac sign it is, but someone chose Yoo Sang Ah as their avatar and wanted her to live.

In the "Inactivation Law", "Mechanical Desperation" is a rare phenomenon.And Liu Shangya is a person who should have died.

I wondered for a moment, what kind of constellation is behind Yoo Sang Ah?

[This person's information cannot be read in the "role list"]

This person is not registered in the "role list"

I'm a little surprised.

Can't see her with my technology?Why?Does she have any special background?Or is she mentally handicapped?But if she had thought that way in the first place... no, wait a minute.Maybe it's...

"Only son, what shall we do now?"

I heard Yoo Sang Ah's confused voice and didn't have much time to think.

Library, library, library!

The Han River is rolling.Having eaten a bridge leg, the ichthyosaur is turning its massive body on the other side of the Han River.I bit my lip and read Bridge's instructions again.

Only an even number of people can cross the bridge.

In the end, 'Mechanic' is just a toy made by those damn constellations who love tragedy.

There is no way to keep everyone alive.

Han Mingwu's body was trembling, and his eyes met mine.

Eventually, someone has to die.
