Desire

When I logged out, it was already dawn. Even though the body did not move, the mind was constantly bruised, so the feeling of emptiness was inevitable. I was thinking about eating ramen, but recently I stopped thinking about eating ramen all the time. I don't have to worry about malnutrition because I'm replenishing my nutrition through medicine, but I decided to work on the fact that Azin is eating for a long time.

It is not that great, even though it is explicitly expressed as a ball. Take out the instant rice that was placed in the refrigerator and return it to the lens. Similarly, return the frozen food stuck in the freezer to the lens. And you move it to the table, and you don't even use a plate, you just rip the bag off.

That's the meal. Azin chews the chopsticks and eats the food. Not in a hurry, I chewed slowly for a long time. There's no need to rush. I'm going to take four to five hours off anyway.

Finish your meal, take a shower...

Imagine something that has nothing to say. It's the same as always. It eats. I wash my body. I eat and I pee. Pee, poo, semen. You cool off the pile and then gather the information you need, or you can just sleep if you don't have it.

The same after that. I eat food and take nutritional supplements even if I don't feel empty. I drink enough water and see what I have to do. Wash up and access the game.

It was a lifestyle that remained the same for the last six years. All the focus was on his own desire, a dull life tailored to the game, but Azin was satisfied with it. No one will stand in the way of his satisfaction.

My parents died six years ago. It was a common accident. Without despair about it, 18-year-old Azin was thrown into reality and understood him. My parents gave me the house. I had some property and a claim came out.

But I didn't have enough money to keep in mind for the rest of my life.

He criticized himself for the boy called Ajin at that time, saying that he had nothing to be greedy about. No, I wrote it down, to be exact. He wanted his own comfort, and that was all. It was not lavish, nor did I intend to make a family to support myself. It was not to paint a hopeful future. I studied well, but I didn't even greed to get the job I wanted based on it.

Graduate from high school. Go to a good university. If you work hard, you can get a scholarship, and that will solve your tuition. And then what? Work hard, graduate college, make specs, and then what? The right answer is a job. What happens after you get a job? Become a member of the pyramid of society. No, it's Cast. Slavery at the end of the social cast, staring up. Earn, earn, earn. Repetition of work and work, accumulation of experience points through it.

'It's like a game.'

Asin grins as she receives cold water. Reality is no different from the game. Gain experience and grow. Skill levels can be substituted by studying or skills. The higher the growth for it, the faster the growth. And it continues to grow.

Azin turned off the water.

I did not need to worry much about my decision to drop out of high school. At the time, the 18-year-old understood society, and whatever the pyramid or the cast, he understood a system that would eventually be a society. With more effort, I understood that I could start from a little higher, not from the bottom. I don't think about marriage, I don't think about having children. I want to live alone and die of old age alone. I have no intention of living a big luxury. If so, it will give you as little room as you need to reach death. If you get a decent job, you won't have a problem living alone with your parents' legacy, claims, and salaries.

But he stopped. I dropped out of high school, had no idea I was going to college, no idea I was going to have a job. Because...

Because I didn't think it would be fun.

He chose virtual reality over reality. I thought the same pyramid and cast would be better off in virtual reality. I thought that would be interesting. About the greed of doing what he wanted to do, he had pain. No, to be precise, the focus of his greed was on virtual reality.

There is no law there. There is nothing to stop Azin from releasing his low and straightforward desires. NPC? It doesn't matter. I'll kill you if you try, but it doesn't matter. Azin, who put reality in the trash, focused on virtual reality. I chose a career as a target journalist because I felt the need to earn money. Make lots of money playing games I explore the fun I've never had while trying like this. It's the best job.

A boy aged 18 has become an adult aged 24 years. But all that changed was the appearance of wearing the weight of age and time. The human nature of Ajin has not changed anything.

He was still lustful, only himself.

Place a towel over your head and return to your room to access First's homepage. There were still four hours left to rest. Three hours of sleep is enough, which means one hour of spare time. During that time, Azin was looking for the hunting footage Daisy mentioned.

Many users were wasting their time talking nonsense on community forums. Idiots. Ajin laughs at the post in real time. I'm going to play games when I have to do this shit. What the hell is this? Oh, is that it? The beta test, it only takes a month to reset, so you don't have to work hard? Azin laughs out loud. If that's the case, the bastards who waste their time here are idiots. It is definitely different to going down a path that has never been there and stuttering on a path that has already been there.

Experience is important - even if it is a beta service to be initialized, the experience gained between the beta services will never be negligible in a future full service. Initializing the beta service was painful for him, but nevertheless, what he was desperate for in the game was to gain that experience.

Azin looked at the community bulletin board for a few minutes and concluded. These guys are losers. I am not competitive and don't want to think of myself as a competitor Of course, most of them will be higher level than the pain. But so what? While those bastards waste their time like that, Azin will not rest and will eventually reach higher ground than they do.

So I ignore him. He's on the playback board. There was quite a lot of video uploaded by the player. Most of them were hunting videos, and there were videos such as expeditions, conversations with NPCs, and performing quests. Most of them were either showing someone or disclosing tactical information. These guys are morons, too. Why disclose information that can't be sold for free? Show-off? Honor? It's useless.

Using the search feature, the video I was looking for came out immediately. It was a video of Luke's hunting party. Ajin ran the most recently uploaded video.

The time point was three inches. You could change the camera's point of view to wherever you wanted, so there was no difficulty watching. Azin narrows his eyes and watches the hunting footage.

What is it?

Monsters targeted at the hunt arouse curiosity first. I've never seen this monster before. A giant tree with ugly, sharp nails. The roots become feet, dragging and slowing the giant body. The arm swinging at the subject was quick and violent. The ground cracks open in a single strike, and the vision trembles with a roar. It's a lot of pressure.

It was four players who faced the giant monster in the shape of a tree. I see a familiar face. Luke, Azella, Anvil... and a face I've never seen before. Azin frowns, looking at the woman standing unarmed.

Is that Sylvester?

Ignore the commute from the party. Azin was going to check everywhere. The first party to enter the Silent Forest. The first-ever party in First, the first to enter a port city and use it as a base. How strong is the party that includes the top rankers in Rank 4.

'.. it's not just a tank.'

Azin thinks as he throws his whole body and sees Luke colliding with the tree. The giant monster frowns and retreats. A powerful collision. With that level of attack, it's not just a tank. Besides... it's not just power, it's speed. Reaches out with a heavy knuckle and pulls the tree back. Instead of dodging the swinging attack, grab it and drag it. It is so powerful that it is ignorant. Azin grits his teeth as he recalls Luke's charge that sent him flying.

And, Asella. She quickly fires a crossbow across the street. She was much faster than I had ever seen her before. At the time, I could see some of the arrows she was shooting and avoid them, but I wasn't sure anymore. Of course, if you enter the game, you may be able to cope with your extended senses and enhanced stats, but you cannot deny that your skill level in Asella has grown to a lesser extent than before.

I don't even use a saber. '

All you need is a crossbow. You mean you don't need to get close? By the way, putting in a melee deal against a monster like that is too risky.

'This isn't just Hiller either.'

Focus the camera on the anvil. The girl in the big hat keeps chanting the long staff forward. I could clearly tell the difference between Daisy and the party she was leading. The members themselves have different specifications. Unlike Lina, who used to pour out her buff magic, the anvil magic was relaxed. Explore the flow of combat and use the most appropriate magic when you need it the most. It's not about hitting heels unconsciously. That is, managing magic, while simultaneously looking at the flow of battle to the fullest extent. Furthermore, the flame explodes and the ground is turned upside down by Daisy's magic. I mean, I'm a healer and a dealer.

This son of a...

Sylvester.

Azin stares at the woman standing next to him, poking her hands in the pockets of her sieve trousers. The woman with long, silver hair was wearing a suit that should be called a party dress rather than armor. Neither hand that was stabbed in the pocket moved, so it's doubtful that she's really involved in the battle.

But she was actively attacking.

"Superpowers!"

A silver knife floats around Sylvest, swirling around and shooting at the tree like a quickfire. And that's not all, but the pebbles and the sand that roll over the ground come together, and they crush the trees. The attack is recovered and hits the tree as it is. Superpowers, of course. Psychic powers? Azin frowns.

It didn't take long for the monster to fall. The video is finished at the same time as the monster fell. Ajin checks his feelings and his silence.

The first thing I thought about was the direction of the party. That party was all members of the dealership. Even Luke, the tanker, suppresses monsters with his powerful attack power, and even Hylar, the healer, uses attack magic. Of course, that power is not comparable to the main dealers Asella and Sylves, but they are all in charge of the attack, so the hunting speed will be incredibly fast.

"Uncomparable. '

Ajin naturally compared Daisy's party to Luke's party while biting a cigarette. No, there's no need to balance the party. What happens when a member's own balance doesn't match the balance of the party?
