Desire

00074 Reality

When I logged out and came out of the capsule, the first thing Azin felt was a fierce emptiness. He takes a deep breath and sets his feet on the ground first. The momentary headache and dizziness clouded the mind, but the pain did not lose control of the body.

"Is it stacked?"

It's not a big deal. I've been hanging around for the last three hours, reducing my sleep. Familiar, but not always able to live like this. Insufficient sleep and unresolved fatigue continue to accumulate in the body of pain, like poison. And it will definitely seizure someday.

‘It's time to start the cycle. ’

I needed some rest. Today is the 13th day. It was too much because the deadline was set for 30 days. I ate every meal, and the nutrients were supplemented with medicine. However, my fatigue did not resolve properly. I can avoid the miserable appearance of Asano as malnourished, but I will collapse at this rate.

Ajin is not an iron man. He's human, that's all. Azin presses down on the itchy temples with his hands. Let's... get some sleep today. He stood in front of the mirror and thought, Looking into the crease of his eyes, he twists his lips.

“Well, I'm sure it's fine. ”

Your appointment with Daisy's party is at 3: 00 p.m. It's 1: 00 in the morning, so you should be able to get enough sleep. I didn't think it was a waste of time. There is enough need to rest in the long run. If you fall while maintaining this pace, there is more time to waste because of it.

‘Let's eat something. ’

After all, it is only eating. Azin raises the water and goes into the bath. After a quick shower, he puts the ramen in boiling water. Drink enough water to replenish moisture and finish eating. I chew a few nutrients. The empty feeling disappeared, but the headache remained. Azin squeezes his bitter eyes with his hands. Dry, because of fatigue rather than lagi. From the inside of the eye, Cook Sting sharpens the sore teeth.

‘Too weak. ’

The pain is irritating. No matter how much I hold my mind and calm myself, I can't stand it. The body collapses, the mind collapses. When was the last time you fainted? Oh, yeah... it was two months ago. I was playing with the Moorish winds for a long time, and maybe it was the merchant who challenged me. I went too far to reach my target, but my head fainted while I was in the shower.

And I haven't played in days. It's not a pleasant memory. Azin takes a deep breath and sits in a chair.

I think I need to sleep now, but not yet. You need to check what you need to check.

As expected, the bulletin board was flooding. There was a lot of writing about selling myself and a lot of protesting against the management. Why don't you impose sanctions on such bad play, it was like this. Checking on him, Azin smiles deeply.

“.. idiots. ”

What the hell? I'm talking about stealing a boss monster. Such nonsense has existed since a few decades ago in PC games. It's foolish to be taken away. What else is bad play? Do I have to die quietly if I'm going to kill you? Ajin vomits a dry smile.

There are no sanctions on this side. They were just dragged into the Predatory Monster realm, and they were the only ones who couldn't handle the monsters and died. Luke and Azella? There is also no problem. They were the ones who first heard about killing Ajin. No matter how you respond to it, there is no intervention from the management.

‘I can't do anything about it. ’

Azin ridiculed the player and posted the video saved in the capsule to the bulletin board. This is the footage of the typhoon being killed and Luke's party crushed. I thought there was no need to draw more malice than needed, so I edited the clip of cutting off the limb. Instead, Azella, Luke, and Anvil cut and pasted the scenes that were raining for their lives.

That's it. I've clearly marked the difference in power. The storm is a quick video of defeating the top rankers, including Luke, fourth in rank. I don't want to avenge them.Those who are about to die won't be tailed. Of course, there may still be real idiots out there. It doesn't matter. Azin will cross the Thorn Forest. After that, the vampire will be a shield that blocks the way.

‘There's only one left. ’

I think of a cliff I was sick of. First the Harpies, then Grifon... and then the vampires. There is only one cliff left. If you cross it, you can finally enter the blue volcano. Azin pulls the chair back up. The video was being viewed explosively, and the ripple continued to run. Confirming it will be quite pleasant, but first sleep.

‘.. should sell the entire video separately. ’

Vampires of Thorn Forest and Rod Persik Duna. Even without a nutritional value, it will be enough to attract attention. How much do you think you can get? The map to the wild forest was $10 million.

‘I can get more than that. ’

Azin threw himself onto the bed and put his face on his pillow. A vampire road you can't easily meet. Information about her is definitely money.

‘.. let's sleep. ’

Let's think about the rest tomorrow. Azin closes his eyes.

You hear a rustling sound.

He wakes up, but he doesn't open his eyes. I listen instead. You are not mistaken. The sound is clear. Did you open the window? No, I didn't. A thief? There will be no problems with the security system. In that case, Azin listens again, trying not to shake his closed eyes.

You hear footsteps. There was someone. It was clear. Ajin kicked his tongue. There is no one who can enter this house but Ajin. Family only opens in the security system. But all of his family died in an accident, except for Ajin. No one can enter this house but Ajin. Friend? Nothing like that. I thought I had lived a relatively ordinary life before, but not now. At first, all the people who came to me worrying about how many times, but when Ajin ignored them, they all left. I first realized that breaking up with her was simpler than I thought, and surprisingly nothing.

And that was when he knew his dream. Standing at the door, he noticed the back of his friends leaving for the cameras at the doorbell. He found out that he did not consider them friends, and that his relationship with them was formed by his lowering and acting. Finally, no one came to the house of Azin.

So, I don't know who's wandering around the room right now. Someone else. Ajin clenches his fist.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Azin stood up on the bed like a spring bouncing. Then I looked around with my eyes wide open. My smiling eyes met Ajin.

“Huh? ”

The first thing I felt was horror. After that, it's denial of reality. Are you still dreaming? No, it can't be. In that case,

What the hell is in front of me?

“Good night. ”

The murmuring and groaning stops hurting.

There was a smile of raw snow in front of him.

“... Master, why? ”

Asin asked in a dazed voice. I looked around, smiling without answering the question. He looks at the room on the white wallpaper, with no furniture but beds and closets, and mutters in wonder.

“I didn't wake you up because I was sleeping so hard. There's a lot of curiosity about it, by the way. ”

She mutters and reaches for her feet. She steps into bed and presses her finger against the mat.

“The bed is fluffy... Hmm, looks pretty comfortable. ”

The relaxed muttering reached out and grabbed the wrist of the black snow scent. He spits out the scent of raw snow, still pressing his finger against the mat.

“How the hell did Master get here?! ”

“Let go.”

He said, smelling of Raw Snow. At that, he stopped and looked at the smell of raw snow. The smell of Raw Snow was smiling.

“Let go.”

Again, the smell of Raw Snow said. He gritted his teeth and let go of her hand. Raw snow fell on Azin's wrist, and turned around and sat on the bed.

“Your grip is terrible. So I can snap a rabbit's neck. ”

“Just answer my question! ”

“Are you going to order the Maiden? ”

The smell of Raw Snow smiled, revealing its teeth. Azin takes a deep breath. Kuang! Something fell on Azin's shoulder heavily. Azin lays his hands on the bed, shaking his head unwittingly. My shoulders thumped and trembled. This is...

"No way...! ’

This is real. This is not a game. And yet, he was under duress. This crushing force... this intangible power... has only been experienced in the game. I mean, how did NPC Black Snow even get here in the first place?

“It's because of the Persian deal. ”

The scent of Raw Snow waves. Ajin sighs loudly. The pressure on his shoulders disappeared like a wash, but at that moment, his body was drenched in cold sweat.

“She drank your blood, signed your soul. And so your shadow and her castle were joined.”

Obviously, he talked about it. Through the contract of the soul, the shadow of Azin leads to Persian castles. She can emerge from the shadow of Azin at any time she wants.

But it was a story in the game.

“Something like that. I entered her castle, and emerged with your shadow. This is everything."

“This is not a game! ”

“I know. ”

In response to Azin's shout, the smell of Raw Snow answered with a bold voice. She stands up with her butt tucked, her chin straight, and looks around again.

“You call the world a game, you call it reality. Well, there's nothing you can do about it. That's how it was planned, and that's how I understood it. But...

The scent of Raw Snow stopped speaking and looked at the pain.

“To be honest, my actions are clear now. If they knew, they'd be talking like that. But one day it will be. Then it won't be a problem to get out of here first. ”

I couldn't understand what Raw Snow was saying. What are the "they" she says and what does it say? As soon as I opened my lips to ask about him, the smell of Raw Snow reached out and stopped the pain.

“Let me get this straight. You were chosen.”

“.. Yes? ”

The muffled words of Azin mutter make you smile brightly.

“I was chosen for the long term. ”

Raw snow scent was explained in a relaxed tone. Asin, sitting on the bed, was dumbfounded and forced to listen to her explanation. At the end of the story, time had passed almost an hour ago. Asin listens to the description of Raw Snow without asking questions, and raises her hand to her head as her lips are clenched.

“What the...”

I thought it was ridiculous. He blinks and looks at the smell of raw snow, and the smell of raw snow still smiles.

“So, God?" ”

“That's what it looks like for now. ”

It was a smiling face, but the voice that answered was cold. The air in the room seems to be getting cooler, so Azin pulls the duvet and covers his body. The cold has passed, but his body trembles and trembles.

God.

The word that filled his head chewed his lips well.

The description of the black snow scent was about the purpose of the game and about First's world itself.

The world is not a game. To be precise, it's a real world built like a game. NPCs that live in that world are not NPCs, they're all living people, and they're monsters. But it's adjusted.

Throws a real human into the created world. Add manipulation of memory to it. It is minimal processing, not a whole memory crystal. Builds new relationships and allows us to embrace the world as it is. Thereby, humans are engineered into NPCs.

The stage that was created is an island. Throw 1500 players on the island first and pick the top 5 players of the island. And after the end of the beta service, the service is officially open around those five.

The purpose of five people is simple. Winning the game. Winning, giving victory to the transcendent who made himself his successor. In doing so, the owner of the throne is turned.

“Ha-ha-ha. ”

Azin bursts into laughter because he is very small. This is absurd. Where in the world is God? First is a game, that's all. But...

Azin looks at the scent of Raw Snow.

She is a living human being, not a polygon mass, smiling in front of his eyes.
