Emperor! Can You See Stats!?
# The world
Since then, the activities of the eradication squad have been smooth.
“I think I've dealt with eight of the martial artists you confirmed. ”
The report from the military, the Zegalian nebula, impressed the blind leaders.
“Phew…. ”
“This is amazing. ”
“Maybe in a couple hundred years, I can take the root of that bridge. ”
In fact, when the imperial teachings came down, the brains who knew more about the history of the Jell-O War were skeptical.
‘This time, it'll be over with just one more embarrassing blow. ’
‘It is very difficult to deal with Mahishmati who have been blind to the mosquito for over a hundred years. ’
"How the hell are you gonna get rid of them? How could you do that? If that's even possible, I'd trust him to be the player. ’
However, the act of the Elimination Squad broke everyone's expectations. There has not been a full-scale all-out war yet, but the hidden knives of the Bridge have destroyed the placenta. This is unbelievable.
The elite gathered in the conference room looked at the vacancy in the center. It was where Yurius used to sit.
“Hmmm……. ”
“Ugh…. ”
They burst into a groan, gazing at it with the eyes of gentle fear. And one of them suddenly opens his mouth.
“By the way, how long will the Lord of Chulalongkorn be away? ”
“Unfortunately, I don't know. ”
“Soon the troops will be assembled, but still? ”
“So in the worst case, it could be all-out war without a week? ”
“ ……!? ”
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the meeting room was greatly divided.
‘I'm anxious if the Lord isn't here.... ’
‘The Grand Coven may have thought about it, but I'm worried that we haven't heard from them since the closing. ’
The first is in Yurius' favor. Concerned about his absence, they tried to slow down the march as much as possible. It was the Exorcist nebula, the military, who represented their opinions.
“I'm afraid that's not a good idea. It is the power of the Lord that binds the cords of the vertebrae. ”
The chordae were currently composed of imperial palaces, greenery, blindness and western continents, with the exception of blindness, the remaining three were practically Yurius' forces.
“That's why you're waiting for the return of the Lord, who has absolute control. ”
His words hit Sari, so there was no argument, but some complained.
“But what are you going to do if the Bridge goes into all-out war? ”
“Shouldn't we have a temporary command system? ”
“Many of the Bridge's forces have already been destroyed. The military is too careful! ”
This was the second faction. These were a collection of prestigious factions with the pre-existing divisions of the elite. When Yurius was there, he was so sure of his performance that he could hardly make a sound, but when he left, he raised his voice again.
The Exorcist nebula was a pain in the ass.
‘Hnng... ’
Yurius' command was not at all problematic, but rather it spawned a new conflict. There are many people who are too excited by the death squad's victory.
“The hidden power of the Bridge is not great. So far, only a fraction of them have been killed by the exterminators. It is my policy to be cautious until the Lord returns. ”
“Hmm……. ”
“Oops!”
The Galilean nebula persistently refused, and the opposition's figures softened. But it is still grumbling inside.
‘We should give ourselves a chance to build a ball. I'm sure he's a great guy, but I don't like the underlings. ’
‘It's a chance to root out martial arts in 200 years. If we don't get the name of the Mainlander in this position, it'll be an unwashable humiliation for decades to come. ’
There was no way the Jegal nebula could not have known the murmur.
‘Looks like they're looking at the bridge as a street hustler. He's not a worthy opponent... ’
“That's all for today's meeting. ”
He concludes the meeting with a shaded face somewhere.
* * *
Glug.
After the meeting, the Galilean nebula came into the Oval Office with a tired expression. Yurius is a closed tube and has been missing for over a week. So far, blindness has become more difficult to control.
There's someone talking to him who came in.
“Huh? You look pretty tired today, huh? ”
“ ……!? ”
The Jungle Nebula quickly corrects its expression and smiles and replies.
“This is unforgivable. The Confucius is sharp. ”
“Is that so? We've got a lot of work to do. ”
The owner of the shrugging voice was a blonde boy. He sits in front of a mountain of paperwork, grumbling and swelling again.
“Anyway, if you fall, my share will grow. Take good care of yourself. ”
The horse was harsh, but eventually he was worried about the Jegal nebula.
Bleeding.
‘Unlike the Lord, he is surprisingly homicidal. ’
He opens his mouth with a slight smile inside.
“Of course, there will be no complaints for the Confucius. ”
The young man, Leonhard, nods.
“It wasn't you who made me do this, it was you. Hnng... ”
He was rescued from the Imperial Palace by Yurius and then returned blind together. It was a good thing I saved your life....
“Leon, don't you have to pay for your meal? ”
“ ……. ”
This was not the western continent, but rather Yurius, who let him play and play. He called the Zegalun nebula.
“I thought you said you were shorthanded at the end of the spinal column. ”
“Yes, there's a lot of unmanned people rotting away, but there's a lot less literature to process than there is in the workload. ”
“Then take this one and use it. ”
“Who's this?”
“He's my brother. ”
“Huh……. ”
Isn't Yurius' younger brother the Crown Prince? You want him to do paperwork?
“He's talented, so he won't grab my ankle. ”
“ ……. ”
Yurius took Leonhard to the Oval Office and swooped away, and the Galilean Nebula had to figure out what to do with him.
First of all, it's a full name.
“This is the Jegale nebula, which is responsible for the blind military. ”
“Leonhard von Sharnos. ”
The short answer was:
“So what do I do? ”
“Hmmm……. ”
The Jegal Nebula opened its mouth after a moment of deliberation.
“This is the final settlement of the blind documents. I would like to ask you to review it.... ”
“You're excused. ”
“ ……!? ”
Leon looks a little resigned.
“It's pointless anyway. If I'm the Crown Prince and I don't do my job right, you don't know what he's going to say. ”
“If that's the case, I'll call you Confucius. ”
“Suit yourself.”
“Ugh…. ”
The Jegal Nebula looked at him with a rather curious look, and Leon frowned.
“What's the matter? ”
“No, I heard from the Lord that he was a little more connected. ”
As he said, Leon in the western continent was the Prince of Righteous Life. Even in front of Yurius, he rarely gave up his petty demeanor.
“You care about everything. Do I have to be respectful? ”
“No. I'll take good care of you in the future. ”
Leon began to learn his work with a grumpy look on his face. It was natural for him to change his attitude. He didn't just snap out of it because he was sentimental.
‘Not the gods or people of our empire, but the far-off Eastern continent. There's no need to play tiredly in front of your men. ’
He thought he was being held captive by Yurius. In fact, the Galilean nebula, the military, was also intended to entrust him with Leon's surveillance.
And then a few days later.
The Jegal Nebula surprised me when I asked Leon to work.
“There was a good reason the Lord was commendable. Your Highness... No, I've never seen anyone learn to work as quickly as a Confucius. ”
“Hmph! A monkey can do this if he learns. ”
He was a much better player than Yurius in the first place. I pretended to do everything well, so I had no choice but to like it as the Exorcist nebula.
After a month, they were not close, but they were able to talk quite well.
“You're tired, so things aren't going well for you. Your brother hasn't come back from training, has he? ”
“Yes. If the Lord returns, there's no need to worry about this. He'll be back soon. ”
Even though he left almost unannounced, the Galilean nebula must still believe in Yurius.
“Hmm……. ”
When Leon noticed that, he was going through the paperwork thinking about something else.
‘I can feel your influence here in person. They're not even from the Western Continent... ’
In fact, he had never seen Yurius do anything. But nowadays, blindness was full of admiration and praise for Yurius, no matter what he said.
Leon could also see Yurius holding meetings within the blindness several times. Whenever he speaks, everyone is focused on listening, saying that he will miss a letter.
The clever Leon realized that Yurius had cleverly twisted their minds. Not all of them were blind to Yurius, but they were taming him with whips and carrots.
Before that, Leon, who had never been arrogant, thought that Yurius had defeated him because of his many fortunes and excellent swordsmanship.
His talent for martial arts was certainly greater than that, but he didn't care as much as he had heard that the rest of the martial arts talent fell compared to him since childhood.
Recently, however, Yurius has shown Leon a continuation of freshness.
In fact, it should have been true, but he finally came to a conclusion.
‘Maybe I was wrong about you all along. ’
* * *
On the other hand, Yurius, who had been on the news for a week, was actually not far away.
Where he is, the Underground Coast Guard!

‘Whew……. ’
Yurius sighs. It was an incomparable growth compared to when it first started. But even with a status like this, he was at risk.
Way to grow up here!
There were two big ones. One was a book about the legacy of the great Sharnos.
"There were definitely six stages in the Great Book, right? ’
Yurius has now reached level five with the sword of the mind. However, according to the Emperor, there is one more step.
However, he could not enter this area at this time.
“Learn.”
Tiring!
[Not eligible (requirement player factor 50%).]
It was a natural limitation. But it was clear there was no way to raise the player factor.
‘The first one isn't ready yet. I don't know how, but at least not for a short time. ’
Then it was the second way. The second is the unmanned Yi Chung Moon's legacy of doubling with the Emperor!
Yurius now holds one of his legacies in his hands. A red stone that heats up in his hands!
[Casting Egg] - An egg with the power of Casting. You can absorb that power by taking it.
This was the stone that Shinigami, the blind master, used before. Archbishop Galeus, whom I met before, spit this out during his purification.
"There's got to be a way, right? ’
[Absolutely. But as I said before, I'm not sure how long it will take.]
‘It can't be helped. ’
Yurius nods and takes the red stone to his mouth with a cautious look.
Gulp!
Bloop!
Holding a subtle heat passes through his throat and into his esophagus. Surprisingly, I felt no pain.
And then the next moment!
Bloop!
Kuaaaa!
Now something amazing is about to happen inside him.
Not long ago.
[Wait! Don't put it in your mouth.]
This was when Yurius was about to take the egg of the barn and take it. Hwang Ryong suddenly stops him.
Is there a problem? ’
[From the second time, choose carefully when to absorb.]
"Why?"
[Fusion.]
Fusion?
[Yes. You'll learn to absorb the details, but simply absorb one and fuse more than one.]
Huanglong's words were rarely serious. Once Yurius lowers his hand, he looks curious and talks to Hwang Yong.
So how long does it take?
[It's up to you. It could take months, years, if it's still there.]
‘ ……!? ’
Yurius needs to wrap his arms around the wonder he's gained. We have a lot of work to do right now, and he's been gone for months! It's too much to think about.
But it couldn't wait forever.
There, he recently broke the wall and stepped up to level five.
‘Wouldn't it be enough to deal with martial arts without gathering enough excitement? ’
Yurius was somewhat flattered. He will be, too, because he is already on the verge of being an outsider, except for the player that was 200 years ago.
However, the strength of the bridge was stronger than expected. Yurius had some insight into it through his arch-enemy, the Bishop of the Bridge.
“The revealed power of the bridge is not half the total power they have. They have a lot to hide. ”
“What if it's hidden? ”
Yurius' question answered carefully.
“I don't know the details, but I know the Pope and the Three Patriarchs! And I'm sure some of the soldiers in the army have figured that out. ”
“Hmm……. ”
She made it clear she wasn't bluffing. Those who fought not too long ago looked like supplies, but Yurius had to suffer quite a bit.
How long is this going to take? ’
[Hmmm... Two fusions wouldn't be so difficult if you were in the fifth stage. But we're still gonna have to wait a few weeks.]
Hwang Ryong ponders for a moment and answers.
Weeks? ’
It was a fairly hazy period. You won't even have to worry about it for a week. There he had a quest where he needed to clear the bridge as quickly as possible.
However, the bear thought that it was also better to do something that took time. I don't even know how much power the enemy has, but wouldn't it be better just in case?
‘And if it takes as long as it takes, it will take weeks. ’
It was Yurius, who had already suffered unexpectedly. It was who he was.
And now.
Gulp!
“Phew!”
Yurius, who swallowed his egg, suddenly senses a sudden loss of consciousness. At first, the heat rose from the whole body, but that was also brief.
Phage!
“ ……!? ”
With a sudden hiss, numerous messages begin to appear in Yurius' eyes.
[Loading authentication system]
[Verification Complete]
[Player1 Awareness]
[Commence tuning This may take some time.]
.
[All Tasks Complete]
Tiring!
[Hidden Quest - Begin ‘Professional Gamer’.]
"A professional gamer?"
Aaaaahhhh!
Without a moment to think of the first word, Yurius' eyes brighten, and he falls unconscious.
* * *
Pot!
Yurius opens his eyes. As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was a cold metallic wall.
“What about here?”
He turns his head and looks around. It was a strange place. It was surrounded by metal walls. No exits, no doors.
The circular opening space was very large, but the height to the ceiling seemed to be tens of meters.
‘But where do you think you've seen this structure? ’
Yurius felt the space was very familiar. After a while, he shouts.
“Ah! The Amphitheater! ”
Like he said, it was very similar to the Imperial Amphitheater. except that it's not outdoors, there's no entrances, and there's metal everywhere.
‘But what am I supposed to do here? ’
This was not the first time that consciousness had flown. Yurius decides to take it easy. As he thought, a message began to appear in front of him again.
[Player has successfully accessed the arena.]
[Start the quest.]
Pot!
Click!
The ceiling lit up like daylight in a dark arena.
“Oh.”
Yurius' curiosity kept his eyes on the ceiling because the light was nothing compared to objects such as torches and twilight.
Then a reminder appeared before his eyes.
Tiring!
[There is a reference video before you start the quest. Would you like to watch? Video Title: Remember1]
Yes!
[Send video upon request.]
As soon as Yurius nods, the landscape begins to change again.
Papa Papa Pot!
First, the seats of the empty stadium are filled with people. No, technically, it wasn't human. Transparent human-shaped objects were sitting in the seats.
Tiring!
A letter appeared over the heads of the objects.
[Incident! Isn't this the first time an amateur has made it to the championship finals?]
[It doesn't matter, why don't you get started? They're letting their sponsors advertise their babies. Why does your head hurt in the capsule?;]
[There is nothing to see. It's Grandpa's victory!]
[Damn it! I can assure you I didn't see the main event.]
So what's the rank of those gambling bastards? This looks like a league for amateurs to win.]
[I agree. Did they come here for some 2,000-year-old game?]
I'm a four-level pro with a keyboard, asshole!]
.
What the hell is he talking about? ’
Yurius could hardly understand the words in front of him. The Champions League? These are words I've never heard before.
[There, suckers, here we go. Shut up, it's a madhouse.]
Really?]
‘ ……!? ’
At that moment, a dazzling light appeared in the center of the stadium. And what comes with that light is a huge screen!
And what's reflected on that screen is the appearance of massive structures. There were many gray walls and glass covered buildings.
[Era: Modern]
[MAP: Skyscraper]
The screen shows the scene from various angles and suddenly drops its view to the ground.
Pot!
Then the screen shifted and illuminated a man.
"Emperor"?
Yurius was startled. A handsome blonde face. It resembles the image of the late Emperor Sharnos, even though he was smiling in circles.
It was just a different outfit. It's not armor or fancy clothes, it's just a jersey and trousers. He gazed at the front with a relaxed expression.
And what was in front of him was also a person. He is a graceful old man, unlike the great Sharnos.
"Wizard?"
As Yurius said, the old man was wearing a long gray robe and was also pressing down on the gray hat. It reminded me of a wizard who appeared in a fairy tale. Unlike His Holiness, He looks unfit somewhere.
Here we go. XX VR Champions League Finals!]
"Huh?
Yurius is stunned again. A cheerful woman's voice echoes across the screen.
[There was a big difference in this competition! An amateur challenger made it to the league finals! The challenger's nickname is Sharnos! Your nickname suggests you are very fond of K'Tulu myths!]
I think Emperor Sharnos is right. But your nickname?
As Yurius nodded, the woman's voice began to introduce the old man on the other side.
[Well, this must be the introduction! Sir reigning on the summit for twenty years. Merlin, the UK's leading virtual reality player.]
Rob's old man seems to be called Merlin. Dozens of messages come to mind at the same time since there are so many people who like him.
[Yay! I knew you were a wizard when you fantasized.]
[Look at that flowing fundamentals. In comparison, the challenger is Erik... Let's not talk.]
I don't know what you're talking about, but I think Emperor Sharnos is a challenger and that old man is willing to accept it.
As he grunts, the woman's chatter continues endlessly.
[You've hosted some special guests this finals. Don't look so surprised! We brought in the most famous portrait powers of our generation. Surprisingly, you're sitting in front of me. I'm shaking, too. Come on! Tell me something!]
[This is Lee.]]
Immediately, the blunt man's voice echoes. And at that moment, people's reactions exploded.
[Crazy! Mr. Lee?]
[That hearing in China?]
[Are you crazy about the K Foundation? No matter how much you spend on VR, you've brought the number one supernatural person in your current ranking as a guest?]
It felt like Yurius had also smashed a hammer into his head among the people who became legislators.
You don't think I know this player? ’
However, in this video, he was clearly referred to as a "portrait power." And the great emperor Sharnos was called "The Player" with that Merlin.
What's the difference between the two?
Speechless.
I didn't know that people were noisy, and the woman had to introduce her next guest in a loud voice.
[Your next guest has collaborated with K Foundation, who has developed the 6th Generation VR! I'm here with Dr. Dimiana Kim from the Development Team at the KFoundation VR Institute.]
[Thank you very much. Please call me Dimia.]
A calm woman's voice received it. This is also a name I've heard a lot about.
The Grand Duchess Dimia? ’
The name of the player who established the Holy Nation. Yurius has no choice but to become more alert. As it turned out, Archbishop Galeus of the Holy Nation called the three mentioned "Gods."
‘What the……. ’
Time was passing, even as Yurius thought he was possessed.
[Let the games begin.]
“ ……. ”
Chuck!
The old man in the screen called Merlin raises his arms in a flash. I don't think Emperor Sharnos likes his relaxed expression.
Bloop!
Kuaang!
The place where the Emperor stood burst out as one. The explosion was more than once or twice.
Pupperfoot!
Tsk, tsk!
In the vicinity of the Emperor, the explosion left him completely dusted. The broken windows are excellent and the walls have been shattered, revealing some nasty steel.
‘Huh……. ’
Yurius was quite impressed by the sight. You can do similar things with your sword, but you can't do such destruction just by raising your hand from such a distance.
[What? That's so lame.]
[It's not going to end like this.]
‘No way. ’
Yurius shakes his head. There was no way I could do something like that.
And that's what I thought.
Overwhelmed
Sharnos rises from the smoky debris. Then he reaches for Merlin.
Bark, bark.
Taunt anyone who sees you turn your sword to yourself!
Is that it? ’
“Khh……. ”
Anger flashes across Merlin's gray face. He sticks his hand inside the robe and pulls something out.
[Oh! I've never seen Lord Merlin pull out his weapon so quickly! That cane was definitely an S rank item, wasn't it?]
[Yes, a staff called the Obliteration. This is the highest rank weapon, except for EX class equipment that cannot be unveiled due to balance.]
Following the calm voice of Dr. Dimiana Kim, Merlin stretches out his staff forward.
Whoo-hoo!
The ball on the end of the staff glows and the attack begins again.
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A lightning bolt of immense thickness fell. The debris of the building burns to the ground. That wasn't the end of it.
Whoo!
A violent gust rolls up the debris. A storm swept through the city. In addition, he relentlessly launches a powerful attack, and finally raises his cane with both hands to the sky.
“ ……. ”
Unlike before, nothing happened for a moment.
"This?"
Huh?
[What's Merlin doing?]
Both the crowd and Yurius had questionable expressions.
Sparkle.
I see a red dot across the sky. And the dot became large with a dotted sight, filling the screen. It's a meteorite!
Most of them were burnt to a crisp the size of beans, but their power is indescribable.
Shhhhhhh!
The fallen meteorite blows up dozens of buildings by half destroying the city. Huge craters dig where meteorites run out.
Chow
Both the woman and the crowd who were dusting and broadcasting lost their words.
"No matter how virtual the reality may be, isn't it too realistic? ’
Hmph!
Merlin rises from the air, avoiding the aftermath of the explosion, looking down arrogantly.
Soon the woman will open her mouth again.
[Er... Hmm... Lord Merlin's attack is truly remarkable. The magic used this time, by the way, is very real. Is it because of this new technology that's being introduced?]
Dimiana Kim replied coolly again.
[Yes, the technology of this generation has focused on reproducing our sense of reality. In fact, the lab asked Merlin to use his natural disaster-causing skills.]
Elasticity erupted from the crowd.
Merlin was part of the K Foundation.]
[That's good advertising. I can't even buy a sixth generation capsule...]
[Tsk! Those bastards, I'll get them in a week's time. Aren't you jealous?]
[Yes, you have the next VR.]
Shh.
The dust slowly walks away in a loud commotion. The moderator seems to have just realized the whereabouts of the Emperor.
[Ahh! So, what happened to the challenger?]
[What are you asking? Powder in one shot.]
[Poor guy, too. The K Foundation doesn't pay for advertising? Didn't you write that in the first place?]
He was skeptical of the audience, of the moderator, of the whereabouts of the great emperor Sharnos. How are you going to survive being beaten like that?
However, at the next moment, the audience was all surprised to see eyeballs pop out.
Flash!
As the dazzling light burst, the rubble of the collapsed building split apart, and a person appeared.
It was the great emperor Sharnos. He is far too fine for anything other than a little dust.
Tuk-tuk.
Seeing him in the dust, the crowd goes into chaos.
[Crazy! Isn't that a bug?]
[What the hell is he doing?]
“ ……!? ”
Merlin, who was floating in the air, also broke his cold face completely. I only look at the Emperor with my eyes wide open.
‘Huh……. ’
Yurius looks at the Emperor and rolls his head around.
Blocking the ball? Or did he do something different? ’
Shhh.
At least the Emperor smiled and pulled out the sword of the waist dance.
“It's too dangerous to march now. ”
“I don't know how many times I've heard that sound. So we're just gonna wait around like this? It's been more than ten days. ”
“I thought the troops were already gathered.... ”
The Jegal Nebula was sighing deeply.
‘I can't believe what the Lord has done has come back like this. ’
Of course, I didn't blame Yurius. But there's always shade in a good thing.
Yurius took control of the weapons in the Great Barrier, so he quickly transported the troops. He finished preparing for the bridge in less than a month.
The Jegal Nebula also thought that their opinions were not entirely wrong.
‘War is essentially a fast pact. Turning it off is not a good choice. ’
Currently, the troops of the vertebrae moving west through the lumen consisted of a total of three digits.
The first digit was fine, even as the main unit of the actual spinal chords. The vanguard, which has already done a revolutionary task, includes a lot of blindness!
Because they were elite and their specialty was high, morale seemed to pierce the sky.
And if I skipped the second group and described the third group, they were green-blind and waterblind. They saw Yurius and Nuada and joined them in the first place, with no major control issues.
Until then, the Zegalun nebula frowned.
‘But the second unit is the problem. ’
The current quarrel with him was with this binary unit. These are a group of middle-scale and some prestigious renters! However, the overall quality is much lower than the leading edge.
But that's why they're more anxious.
“Did we call them to clean up after us? ”
“There's no reason for you to join us if you continue to destroy the Apocalypse. ”
They were relatively weak, so few of them, of course, were active in the vertebral death squad. Because he is thirsty in the specialty he sees, he naturally insists on marching forward.
However, the chieftains of the vertebrae, including the Jegal Nebula, were stubborn.
“As I said, the Lord will be here soon. I'll tell you about it then. I'm against marching now. ”
“I agree with you as a blind minor. Going forward without the permission of the Yurius Convention, a single owner, disrupts the command system. ”
“Haha... Don't rush everyone. Just wait quietly. Do you believe the Lord will never return? ”
However, after the military, the Jegal Nebula, Namguk Ilcheon and Jegal Unhyun, the most talented people in the blind, expressed their opinions in turn, and they were forced to hesitate.
“Hmmm……. ”
“Knng, if you say so, I'll believe you. ”
“ ……. ”
However, the Jegal nebula, which knew that they did not accept, once again became dark in their hearts.
‘At this rate, I don't know what will happen. I hope the Lord gets out quickly. Did something happen to you? ’
He looks at the building where Yurius' lungs are with worried eyes.
* * *
Meanwhile, the gathering place of the troops who came down on the ledge was similar. In particular, executives from Team Leadership Group 2 were very frustrated.
Those seated in the room are complaining again today.
First, a man with a strong figure grumbled.
“I've been waiting almost a week and you still haven't given me an order? ”
He was the owner of a place called the Mountain Goblin. I know it well in the province, but it has lost its reputation compared to the 5th generation.
“Oh my... What a horde of martyrs! There must be cowards up there." ”
Likewise, the leader of the Sanseo Great Pharaohs received the word. He also had a great reputation in the area of the gateway, but he did not recognize it as a whole.
They were also underestimating the bridge, as expected from the Jegal Nebula. In the meantime, an easy victory from the extermination squad has brought them to their senses.
Well, if it had been for Yurius, it wouldn't have been a problem, but it would have been ironic.
“We are already gathered in front of the bridge. ”
“It's going to be a problem if they get ready to fight back. What's the point?" ”
But nothing changed about them complaining. You can't disobey an order, can you?
But as they grumbled, unexpected news arrived.
Boom!
Suddenly, the middle-aged man of goat beard leaps into the barracks and opens his mouth in a hurry.
“Here's the information from the opening of the first half. They say there's a legion of martyrs from the mountains at last! ”
“ ……!? ”
“Phew!”
They quickly open their mouths, startled.
“So what did they say in the first place? ”
“That……. ”
The middle-aged man frowned.
“They said to wait, we don't know the exact intent yet. ”
“Eww……. ”
“Even in this situation, what are you doing in front of your enemies? ”
The grumblers look at the man with the grumbling look on his face.
“No need to fuss……. It's no different than it has been so far. ”
However, he suddenly smiled with a grim smile.
“Hehe... Is it true? ”
“ ……!? ”
“What's that supposed to mean? ”
“Anyway, didn't the bridge move? There's always room for conflict with them. ”
“Huh?"
“Are you going to disobey an order? ”
The second-in-command looked surprised and stared at the man with goatee. No matter how much they complained, it was not that unreasonable.
“Tsu... You don't understand. ”
“Hmm?"
The leaders all look at the man with a puzzled look. His name was given to me and was a tattoo of Hao Moon, a well-known information organization.
“Tell me more. What the hell are you talking about? ”
I winked.
“Of course, if we hit them first, we'd be in violation of the military! ”
“So?”
“But on the contrary, why not attack us at the bridge? ”
“ ……!? ”
Then the other executives realized what he was going to say.
“Taunt the Bridge and make it hit this way. Is this it?”
“Yes!”
“Hmmm……. ”
They hesitate for a moment. If so, it was a chance to build a ball to defeat the leader of the bridge, but the enemy's power is problematic. But I said I didn't have to worry about that either.
“The text says that most of Mahjong's troops are of the Mahjong Dynasty, and that there's a little bit of a Bloodline Master in there. We've got enough power to take them out! ”
In Mahyoung Dynasty, it is the lowest law enforcement organization in the order of the martial arts, and even though I am good at espionage, I am not very good at it. Even the bloodlines that followed were not the elite members of the Church.
“Probably out there trying to jog the power of the vertebrae. He's not a hard one. ”
It seemed like I was already roughing them up. But there's a reasonable explanation, so other binary captains shine their eyes.
“Excellent opportunity, then! But do you think they'll come for us? ”
The question made me grimace again.
“Hehe... I don't want you to come, but I want you to make it so! Trust me."
* * *
Boom, boom, boom!
The emperor was unleashing a fearsome attack as soon as he drew his sword. Merlin continues to push forward, unable to cope with the violence.
Tsk, tsk!
The dozens of layers of armor that protected his body were shattered like glass at a single stroke of the Grand Master's blade. It was unbelievable power.
“ ……!? ”
Merlin flinches, raising his staff and counteracting.
His reaction was also frightening. Dozens of lasers erupted and hundreds of meters exploded in an instant, but the Emperor ignored all of them lightly.
Jiaying!
The laser twisted and avoided.
Kuaang!
Bloop.
The explosion disappears at the moment of its inception, then appears directly in front of Merlin and swings the sword.
Gaaaah!
Finally, Merlin's body was wounded for the first time. After that, it was a battle that was already decided. It was decided in less than five minutes.
Screaming!
“ ……!? ”
Hemorrhoids
Merlin's expression is unbelievable, splitting his neck and torso, and he disappears without a trace.
“ ……. ”
Yurius stared at the video with a surprised look. The reason he was surprised was not just because the Emperor was strong.
I thought you were a knight. I've never seen anything like it. ’
The voice of the surprised moderator echoes through the stadium as he thinks.
[Th-this is amazing! The first round of the finals wins! Sir Merlin's interview... yes? You withdrew?]
Meanwhile, the crowd's reaction was loud.
Speechless.
[What challenger?]
[How the hell did he just show up?]
[Sigh…….]
[Merlin is disappointed.]
[The challenger is too strong!]
[Isn't this a scam?]
[Argh! I bet on fun, but I bet a little more!]
[XX! I'm going to the river...]
.
Supportive positions!
That's all the footage is. Behind the rumbling and cheering, Yurius returns to the inside of the slender arena.
And suddenly a notification window popped up for him to think about.
[Start the quest.]
“ ……!? ”
Pot!
Once again, a dazzling light appeared and Yurius was suddenly standing on one side of the amphitheater. And on the other hand....
“Great Sage!”
Yurius opens his eyes wide. A blonde, disheveled young man! The young Emperor Sharnos must have seen it several times in the video.
“Great king? That's not my name. ”
“ ……. ”
Yurius is speechless. He who is dazed doesn't know what to say in this situation. While staring at him, Emperor Sharnos smiles suddenly.
“Let's get started, shall we? ”
“Hmm?"
Caucasian!
“ ……!? ”
Yurius quickly stopped the Emperor from pulling out his sword and swinging it.
“Not bad? Then there's more! ”
“Huh?”
A new notification window appeared in front of his frightened eyes.
[Hidden Quest ‘Pro Gamer’ has begun.]
[Goal: Defeat Player 2.]
And the troubles of Yurius began.
* * *
24 hours after that.
Puck!
“Huff!”
Yurius is kicked by the Emperor and bounces back. But I had no time to lose my mind.
“Haha! Take this, too! ”
Heave!
The emperor who moved over Yurius' head suddenly struck the sword.
Boom!
“Khh……. ”
Urius, who barely defended himself, leans back. He was never weak, but he was also overwhelmed to prevent the Emperor's attack. But he was not completely baffled.
‘No, even if it's a quest, you have to explain the basics! ’
He tries to speak to the Emperor several times, but he doesn't respond properly and attacks.
Phew!
“Cough!”
At last, the Emperor's sword pierces Yurius' heart.
[Player 2 wins!]
‘Damn……. ’
Yurius barely tolerated the cold feeling of disgust digging through his heart. He knew what was coming.
[Current 0 wins 27 losses, elapsed time 1 day 0 hours 5 minutes 5 seconds]
Bloop.
Surprisingly, his body, which was bleeding from the blade, became normal in an instant. Then the body is pushed back to one side of the stadium.
[Start the next round in 1 minute.]
The Emperor also stood back to his original position with his face intact.
“Why don't you give it a shot this time? ”
“ ……. ”
A week after that.
[Current 0 wins 250 losses, elapsed time 8 days 0 minutes 5 seconds]
‘This is dangerous. There's no time.'
Yurius, who just had his head smashed in like watermelon, is no longer the problem.
‘Apparently, they're never going to let me out. ’
After three days, Yurius had to make every effort to win the Emperor.
Popot!
Dozens of hearts' swords appeared aiming for the Emperor.
“Clothing!”
However, the emperor responded surprisingly quickly. Suddenly throws dozens of swords out of the air with skilled skill.
Damn it!
The cold is also lightly avoided and the chunk of ice that is shot is cut immediately.
It seemed like the winning sword that I pulled out as a last resort worked.
Kieing!
Quack, quack!
A sword that flew at an incredible speed collides with the Emperor and explodes. He flies back and crashes into the wall.
Did it work?
For a moment, Yurius frowns as he sees the Emperor walking out alive.
“This is quite a feat. You've been practicing. ”
“ ……!? ”
“But it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit! ”
The Emperor has been toying with him ever since. Yurius' attack has not even touched the Emperor's Cloak Banner.
Kuang!
“Grrrgh!"
This time, Yurius, who flew from top to bottom, returns for the first time.
The Emperor's attack was completely unstoppable. If he had an intangible armor, he would have recovered, but he disappeared on his way here. The biggest problem there is…….
It's been a week, but I don't know how to deal with it! ’
He desperately tried to find the Emperor's weakness or breakthrough. However, the Emperor had one feature that rendered all of this useless.
‘While I do one, the Emperor does two or three things. This is not how you win. ’
While it was hard for the emperor to see the speed and attack power better than Yurius, there was one great advantage.
Jiaying!
“Hehe!”
Yurius' body twists. As soon as the Great King reached out his hand, the sword in his hand plucked out. It was a new ability, but it seems to attract metal.
That's far enough to stop...
Cough!
Tsk, tsk!
“Kuaak!”
Lightning strikes from the air. The whirring Yurius screams, being hit without even the slightest crack.
Screaming!
The end is the sword. Urius' throat is slit while he is struck by lightning and unable to react for a moment.
This was the monarch's favorite tactic.
The user pulls out a powerful magnet from its hand, pulls out its opponent's weapon, drops lightning, seals its movement and cuts its throat with its sword!
This series of moves is almost without time, and Yurius must defend himself with one move before he can be fooled by two attacks.
“ ……. ”
For this reason, Yurius couldn't find the answer no matter how much he turned his head.
[30 seconds to the next round.]
He looks at the notification window in front of him with a dark expression.
“Wait!”
[Player 2 has requested a pause.]
“ ……!? ”
Yurius opens his eyes wide and looks at the emperor ahead. Until now, he has been quietly obsessed with attacking Yurius with any questions he may have. But what is the change in heart?
“Ahh... I can't eat it because it seems like a cheat! ”
The emperor grumbles into the air and spits out a word to Yurius.
“You! You don't know anything about skills? ”
“Skill?”
“Yes, I was frustrated to see you fight, so I asked for a moment. ”
“ ……!? ”
Yurius quickly asked a question. I don't know, but it was time to accept the story.
“What's that? ”
“Huh?”
The emperor looks at Yurius, looking at his concubine, and slaps his knee as if he remembers something.
“Oh! Are you from a portrait? ”
“Who else is a portrait? ”
“Y-you know... monsters who start fires in real life and chop up buildings. I heard they can get in early if they do this. ”
“ ……. ”
Yurius had never heard it before. However, the emperor gave his own judgment.
“In any case, fighting in virtual reality is different from practicing martial arts. First of all, how many are there? ”
“Number?”
“Like this. ”
The emperor reached out one hand.
Phage!
Sparks appear in the air. It was a bolt of lightning that the Emperor had just used.
“Magic doesn't work well, but electric shock is a useful skill for tying your opponent's feet. ”
Jiaying!
This time, you use your magnetism to pull together the iron around you.
“This is my favorite technique, too. I love fighting swordsmen like you! ”
Bloop.
Finally, it disappears suddenly and appears in front of Yurius' eyes.
Knock!
“Ugh!"
Suddenly, the emperor fed the egg balm on Yurius' forehead.
“Blinks can't be used continuously, but it's a good ability to poke holes like this. ”
“Mmmm... ”
Yurius tilts his head as he sees the Emperor reveal all of his gifts. The emperor smiled and opened his mouth again.
“Now reveal your skills. ”
“ ……. ”
Yurius turns his head fiercely.
"I guess skills aren't the skills I know, are they? ’
His skills were temporarily overhitting to amplify the force. But I think what the Emperor is saying is a little different.
Lightning, pulling iron, was that your last teleport? ’
“ ……!? ”
Yurius recalls the Emperor's ability for a moment and seems to recall something.
"Wait, lightning in the air? ’
He knew there was only one way for the unmanned to have that ability.
Step four!
Step 4 of the Force's hardship was able to implement the force with the image that he desired. In the east, this was called conceptualization.
But you have one skill per person. ’
I had never heard of a single person using multiple abilities at the same time.
“I can't do that. ”
“What nonsense. ”
The emperor swirls his finger around his head as if it were a bewilderment.
“Then what is that ice? He's good with a sword. ”
“That's the power of wonder... …. ”
Yurius, who was about to answer, is suddenly speechless.
‘By the way, do I use such power in wonder, or do I use beer? ’
When you think about it, all the power that was brought to you by wonder was a player's privilege. Suddenly, he had something he wanted to test.
Bloop!
A hot flame appeared in front of his eyes, reaching out his hand into the air. I had forgotten, but he absorbed the casting iron. The power to deal with the heat of casting after the current water and ice was naturally acquired.
“You see! Just use it well.... ”
The emperor shrugged his shoulders and looked at the scene. He said it was not that different from his‘ skill ’.
Yurius opens his hands to the anti-Semitic. And one turned cold, and the other turned hot.
Bloop!
Saaaa!
"It works."
He didn't know it, but it was possible to handle both forces simultaneously. Here, Yurius moves on to his next thought.
What if it is? ’
He stretches his sword into the air.
Phage!
An intense spark and a burst of electricity emanates from the blade.
“ ……!? ”
Yurius was quite surprised at himself.
"This is the Tiger of the Southern Palace. ’
Like he said, it was a brain metastasis used by Nam Gongcheon, a superhero of blindness.
"And?"
Pa!
This time, the sword is stained with dazzling white light. He swoops his sword to the ground.
Boom!
The metal floor made the iron dust explode in a depression.
Needless to say, the white light was the destruction of Nuada's mastermind. Yurius, like the Emperor, was suddenly able to deal with a multitude of storms.
The question is, when did this ability come into existence?
“ ……. ”
However, he did not let the Emperor remain silent.
[Start the next round in 20 seconds.]
“The basics look familiar, so let's start again. ”
“Do all original players have these abilities? ”
“I don't know.”
The Emperor did not answer Yurius' question properly.
‘I have so many more questions, but they won't work. ’
A moment ago, it seemed that it was simply an action to remove the penalty. The emperor returned with an attitude to strike him down thoroughly again.
Yurius looks at the notification window.
[elapsed time 9 days 5 hours 50 minutes 5 seconds]
‘If so, clearing the quest comes first. ’
I was too late. In the blind, it was clear that everyone was worried about him.
Soon the battle began again.
Jiaying!
The Emperor used the same technique as before. The magnetic force used in the subtle timing pulls out Yurius' sword.
Scream!
I was hit several times, so I was a little distracted, but the Emperor had enough gap.
Pot!
“ ……!? ”
His body swiftly blinks back to Yurius and swings his sword without forgiveness. I should have been seriously injured or died before...
Whoo-hoo!
“Huh?"
The emperor's sword bends strangely and leaves Yurius' body. This is spatial distortion! It was Yurius who spread the boil of Jeghal Unhyeon. The emperor lost his balance in an instant due to missed swords.
Popot!
Yurius digs through the gap. Dozens of Mind Swords Aim for the Emperor's Body
“Oops!”
The emperor kicks his tongue and swings his sword backwards. But until then, I couldn't stop them all.
Puppet!
His clothes are torn and bloodstained. Yurius blinks without delay. He instinctively knew it was time to battle.
‘We must decide now! ’
In fact, the emperor still had the upper hand. Using multiple ratios is the same, but with different skill and response rates.
Phage!
However, lightning appeared in front of Yurius' nostrils, spreading his blindness.
“Ugh!"
He quickly dodges to the side, but it's just a stone for his next attack.
Jiaying!
Yurius twists his sword with magnetism again. This time, the Emperor destroyed Yurius by simultaneously using two or three beaks when he was doing one. This difference could never be filled in a short time.
“I win again! ”
The emperor swings his sword at Yurius' neck.
Puck!
However, the dull noise echoes instead of a clean cut.
“ ……!? ”
Surprisingly, you did not cut the head of the Grand Master's Black Yurius. It's a deep wound, but it's not instantaneous.
“Oops! Is this physical enhancement? ”
Yurius barely escaped the crisis with the golden statue of the Grand Duke. The sword was taken by a body stronger than steel. And now was the perfect opportunity.
Kieing!
A sword that moves with a victorious sword shoots out. The Emperor's haste to clear the streets was inevitable.
Pot!
But he had the Blink. Suddenly disappears and reveals itself ten meters away. Blink's disadvantage was that it could not be used continuously, as the Emperor had said, and it became defenseless shortly after use.
‘But this escape is very useful! ’
But Yurius is already deeply wounded, so he can't keep up with the gap.
The emperor who knew it opened his eyes after enjoying his relaxed expression immediately after Blink. But at that moment!
“Huff!”
Pot!
Yurius clenches his fist at an unbelievable speed toward the Emperor. In the blink of an eye, it narrows the distance by more than ten meters.
How?
The emperor looks frightened for a moment and finds out why.
“A speeding up storm machine! ”
“Correct!”
Yurius replies briefly. Like he said, this was the quickness of Beatrice's beacon. That's why he was able to go fast enough even in a messed up body.
Boom!
Yurius pierces the Emperor's chest with a white glowing fist.
“Khh... ”
The emperor groans and staggers back. The power of Nuada's fist was so great that it punctured the upper half of the emperor.
“Knng!”
The emperor became a spiky face looking at Yurius.
“You made a hole on purpose. It's a trick I know I don't know about you. ”
“ ……. ”
Yurius smiles bitterly. It was a victory for the Emperor, as he had said, because he did not know Yurius' abilities well.
On the other hand, he was well aware of the great emperor's ability. It's because he's died many times before.
Bleeding.
However, the emperor quickly opened his eyes and smiled.
“Anyway, last time was fun. We'll fight each other again when we get a chance. ”
Support!
For the last time, the Emperor's body disappeared.
Tiring!
[You have completed the Hidden Quest ‘Professional Gamer’.]
[Achievements increase.]
“ ……. ”
[It took a while, but you're done, right?]
A small golden dragon appeared as soon as I checked the notification window.
“Huanglongs?”
Huanglongs spoke in his native tone.
[You have so many questions for me, don't you?]
“ ……. ”
Yurius is also quite serious. At first, I thought it was just a quest similar to before. But there were more than one or two things that were suspicious.
Why did you come to this place where you absorbed the first wonder and saw the mystery video?
The second was the identity of the Emperor. What is virtual reality, and what is a professional gamer?
The third was the power of the riddle he showed. He had a new ability without even knowing it.
[For now, your ability is a result of the fusion of wonder.]
“Fusion?”
[Didn't you say that before? You don't have enough conditions. Wonder serves to replenish it. You just have to think about it to get what you're supposed to have.]
“Hmm……. ”
According to Huanglongs, Yurius was also a common player. However, according to Huanglongs, once we gather all the wonders, we can unlock all our abilities.
[And since this is virtual reality, I don't really know what to say.]
“You don't know?”
[But I can help you judge. That's my role.]
“ ……!? ”
At the same time as Huanglong's words, Yurius' consciousness was flying back somewhere.
[View footage ‘Memory 2’.]
Support job.
* * *
‘What is it this time? ’
As soon as Yurius entered the video, what he saw was in front of the metallic door.
Hiccup!
The door slams open and three people enter. One man, to be exact, has been dragged away.
Fluffy.
Two robust men in black throw him to the ground.
“Hey! What are you doing?! ”
The thrown blonde man protests with a whale scream, but the men in black don't even twitch their eyebrows.
“ ……. ”
“Please wait here a moment. ”
Heave-ho!
The thick metal doors are locked and there is no way out.
Yurius stares at the scene with a curious look.
Is the Grand Master in custody? ’
And surprisingly, he didn't seem to have much power. I was dragged by a strong man...
Boom, boom!
“You bastards! Let me out!”
Boom!
“You're not afraid of the law! ”
“ ……. ”
Unlike before, he was an ordinary human being who could not break through any of the iron gates. Yurius stares at him with a dazed look on his face.
“Huff... puff... ”
Soon, the exhausted emperor knocks on the door and breathes his last breath on the ground.
In a minute.
Queek.
“Have you calmed down a bit? ”
“ ……!? ”
It was an Asian woman who opened the door. He looks like he's in his late twenties and is an eccentric figure in a white robe.
But he never had the courage to rate a woman or anything.
“Who are you? ”
“I'm the one who asked you to come here. ”
“Oh, my gosh, mate! ”
He tried to squeeze the last of his strength to grab the woman's collar. But that doesn't work either.
“Calm down for a second. Your friend is more urgent than I thought. ”
Woof.
“Huff!”
He floats a few centimeters into the air and wriggles his arms and legs. The man who did this was the man who followed the woman into the room. He looks about mid-30s and wears a blue robe that doesn't fit into the modern interior.
The emperor stared at them and was stunned.
“You!”
“It's called a hearing. Your previous match was quite impressive. ”
“ ……!? ”
The emperor grimaced his eyelids with a surprised look.
“Are you calm now? ”
Nod. Nod.
He went back to the ground and looked at the woman with a slightly frightened face. His fist was closer than the law.
The emperor suddenly noticed that he had regained his senses and the insignia on the robe of an Asian woman.
[VR Team Leader: Dimiana Kim]
He looked confused.
“No, why in the famous portrait and K Foundation would anyone like me……. ”
“Not just any socialite! ”
The woman cut her horse decisively.
“I'm the youngest virtual reality league champion hosted by Von K. ”
“ ……!? ”
The Emperor's expression is unknown. Seeing him like that, the woman said,
“I called XXX because of this K Foundation's VR top secret plan. ”
Not kidnapping? ’
The Emperor replied with a false laugh in his heart.
“Yeah, and by the time K. Foundation, talent will be rotten. Why did you call me? ”
“It is……. ”
The woman seemed to think for a moment. However, he replied with a face that he had no choice.
“Name: XXX, Player Account: Born in Charnos 2XXX, Parent in Early Birth, Currently enrolled as a Special Prospective for VR at XX University. This is who you are, right? ”
“Hmm?"
Suddenly, as the woman recites her profile, the emperor nods with a more curious look.
“Perfect. ”
“Appropriate?”
The woman nods.
“Because you were the most qualified player of all the billions who logged into the virtual reality system created by our K Foundation. so you can't compare it to anyone else. ”
It is a look that you cannot understand. Of course, he never heard it before in his life.
“What is player aptitude… yo! ”
“Simply put, this is an adaptation of virtual reality. It's used in dramas and films. Have you ever seen one? ”
“ ……!? ”
The woman was kind enough to explain.
“You beat and won a lot of players in just one year since you started our game. Haven't you ever thought about something special about yourself? ”
“That's right…. ”
The emperor paused.
“But it's just a game. That's what you're thinking. ”
A woman answered what he had to say for him.
“ ……. ”
“But player aptitude is a real ability. No, a gift, rather than a gift. ”
“Talent?”
“That's right."
Bleeding.
Here, the woman laughs playfully and picks up the documents again.
“I have here your medical records from your enlistment. You have a Korean father too, right? You were in the military before you left. ”
“… that's secondly military confidential, right? ”
“Never mind the little things. According to this record……. ”
Sarak.
The woman turns over the page and starts reciting his information.
“At the time of the new sword, grade 3 was due to mild asthma! You're not as healthy as I thought you were. ”
“ ……. ”
“I have no talent for portrait skills. You're a perfectly ordinary person. ”
“So what are you saying? ”
The slightly angry emperor grumbled. This woman has a knack for intimidating people.
“It's important that we start here. You, too!"
Pair!
The woman clapped her hands and glanced at the emperor with a sparkling look in her eyes. Obviously, it seemed like a cool, egotistical atmosphere before, but it seems like the type of person who can't communicate when he falls into his own world.
“To be the owner of a talent that no one dares to follow in the virtual world. Congratulations. That's a billion-to-one shot, and you've cracked this opportunity. ”
“ ……!? ”
It's all good. Do I have to say it like that? ’
The Grand Master's face frowned. I understood what it sounded like. He lets out a ballstent.
“So I'm a simple corner-pusher in reality, but I'm different in virtual reality, right? ”
“Yes. In your case, it's mostly combat. ”
“What else did I say...”
He became a grumpy face. Isn't he the champion of virtual reality after all?
But then I hear another voice.
“Unfortunately, it's not what you think. ”
“ ……!? ”
The emperor looks at the side of his voice with his eyes wide open. He said it was a man in a blue robe, a man in an Asian robe.
“What's different? ”
“You must have some prior knowledge of the Aether, right? ”
“Of course I know that. I don't know if it's hard to tell, but isn't it the source of the power that superpowers use? ”
“Yes."
[Ether]
This was a new ability that humanity discovered in the 2Xth century.
The theory that four elements of earth, number, wrath and abundance, as defined by ancient Greek philosophers, make up the world!
Of course, not all matter in the world was made of ether like the original.
“The human soul is made of ether, and it is the power of the portrait that uses [Force] to draw out the power of the soul. Roughly this, right?”
“That's right. You know better than that. ”
“Who do you think is an African refugee? ”
“ ……. ”
In 2Xth Century Korea, this was a natural knowledge of compulsory education.
“If you know, I can explain it simply. ”
The woman intervened again.
“As you know, virtual reality is the transfer of human consciousness to virtual reality through the brain wave connection. But it took us a long time to realize a world that was exactly the same as reality with a number of technological problems. ”
“Hmm……. ”
Since then, women have briefly explained the development of virtual reality machines.
“… and by the sixth generation, we were finally able to reproduce 99.9 percent. I think you already know that you've been inside. ”
Nod.
The Emperor accepted. I knew him better than anyone because he was a professional gamer. Unlike previous generations that lacked something in comparison to reality, this machine built a world that was built well enough to be no different from reality.
“But there's one thing that's missing at this stage. ”
“What's that? ”
The emperor asked a question without his knowledge. The woman answered decisively.
“Soul.”
“Soul?”
“So far, the synchronization rate of brainwaves and body is not perfect. In fact, Yi Chung Mun and other senior talent told me that it's hard to get into the virtual world and use all of their powers. ”
“ ……. ”
The emperor tilted his head here.
“But what does it matter? In fact, virtual reality technology is already being used, even though it's not quite the same as reality. ”
Like he said, 2Xth century virtual reality was inseparable from human life. I use it widely, from gaming sports to office work But there was no reason that the world should be the same as reality.
“ ……. ”
The woman shuts up for a moment and asks someone to bring something else.
Chuck!
There was something dense on the paper that was pushed out.
“What's this? ”
“Contract.”
“Yes?”
The woman opened her mouth with a smile again.
“The question is confidential and cannot be disclosed to outsiders. So…. ”
“So?”
“If you could write me a pledge to work with us, I'll tell you. ”
“Huh?”
The Emperor looks stunning. You kidnapped me in the first place, and now you're here with a contract...
“Was that an option for me? ”
“Of course I do. If you refuse, I'll send you back. ”
He tried to answer quickly.
“Then right now……. ”
“Dan!"
“ ……!? ”
“I've learned some of the secrets of our K Foundation, so you should take the appropriate action. Like... lifetime surveillance... ”
“Oh, come on! ”
The emperor was overwhelmed. Since the beginning, what nonsense is this about violence?
Women also quickly started making excuses.
“We're sorry, too. But the terms of the contract are really not that bad. Nothing too dangerous. ”
“You expect me to believe that? ”
“ ……. ”
The woman responded with silence, and the emperor also understood clearly that he was useless when he started a commotion.
“Damn……. ”
His gaze quickly sweeps through the contract on the table.
[Top Secret Project: New World]
* * *
Support job.
Yurius' consciousness returns to the Amphitheater.
[Did you get the answer you wanted?]
“ ……. ”
Huanglong asked, but he didn't answer. I just think of the bear with a calm expression.
‘Browse help. ’
Sometimes I saw help. Because it was necessary to make a decision.
.
After so much time,
“Huanglongs.”
[What's the matter?]
Yurius looks serious at first, but sighs later.
“Hnng... ”
It was actually hard to believe. You won't understand even if you explain it to someone.
[You've come to some kind of conclusion. If you have any questions.]
Huanglongbing also did not tickle as usual. It's kind of important.
“ ……. ”
[…….]
After a brief silence, Yurius finally opens his mouth.
“Is this world made by someone else? ”
[For now.]
"For now?"
Yurius tilts his head for a moment, but he accepts and passes.
“Then……. ”
He pauses here. In fact, the first question was not that important.
‘In the first place, even the continental churches taught us that God created the world. ’
But the second question is different. It was important information that could govern his future journeys. Yurius cautiously utters the following:
“Am I human? ”
[You are human.]
“Then…. ”
Yurius is not quite as nervous as he is. This third question was the most important clue to solving his question.
“What about the others? Are they and I the same? ”
He wasn't a fool. I didn't really know what the player was, but at least I noticed something was different from ordinary people.
‘Once a person's mind is a little fast, but he can read it, but he can't be a normal person. ’
This is what he feared the most. According to the information he has identified with his help,
[means player-user. Concepts contrary to NPC.]
[NPC-Non - Player - Character - Refers to auxiliary characters that help players. In general, in games, etc. …….]
“No way…. ”
When I learned this information, I was most worried about whether the people around him were really like him. The emperor, Mareus, Beatrice, Nooda, Caines... What if these people were just devices made for him?
I couldn't help but get goosebumps.
And Huanglong's answer made Yurius' face turn to dirt.
[Of course it's different. You are incomplete but a player.]
“ ……. ”
Bang!
Yurius is silent, but it feels like a big stone is rolling in his mind.
‘That means……. ’
However.
[I'm joking.I can see your face.]
“What?"
He opens his eyes and looks at Hwang Yong. The face of the dragon was not well shown, but when I looked closely, the tail of Huanglongs' mouth was torn.
[Biologically, you and they are the same. You wanted to ask me this, right?]
“Damn... I bet it is, isn't it? ”
Yurius, who was about to fall out of his liver, spewed a curse and turned pale on his face.
[Yes. Didn't I tell you you're not talented? You didn't have the player's abilities in the first place.]
“ ……. ”
[Did you think you were something? I'm sorry to hear that. How did this guy show up? Tsk...]
Huanglongs seems to scoff at him on the outside, but Yurius smiles in disguise.
“Then I'm sorry. Then let me ask you one last question. ”
[Tell me.]
“Why have I come back to the past? And why are you explaining this now? ”
In fact, it was still a question. Why was he chosen if he didn't have talent? And Hwang Yong, who had helped train before, did nothing else. But now it explains quite kindly.
The people from the Holy Land, Huanglongs, Charnos, and other videos... What are they?
Hwang Yong replied coolly.
[I don't know why you were chosen. So at first I thought it was inappropriate. Remember when I said I didn't deserve it?]
“Definitely……. ”
After thinking about it, Huanglongs was just a well-raised sword, not very cooperative.
[But the others seemed to like you.]
“The others? ”
[It will soon come to light. And that's why I changed my mind.]
“Hmm?"
Jijik.
Suddenly, a video appeared next to Huanglong. And within it unfolds a familiar sight.
“Your Royal Highness! Focus on the class. ”
“I pledge my allegiance to you. ”
“Emperor, the Emperor 1 again... ”
.
“This?”
Yurius watches the video with a slightly confused look on his face. It has been his work since he returned to the past.
[This is what happened before you met me. I asked for the data.]
Hwang Yong continued to look at the video and spit it out.
[And they haven't shown me much.]
“What does that mean? ”
[Don't you get it yet? Anyway…….]
Yurius and current Yurius, shortly after Huanglongbing's regression.
That's the difference!
[Why didn't you actively take advantage of the greatest advantage?]
“… my strengths? What's that?”
[Tsk! I'm talking about your privileges.]
“By privilege, do you mean the power of the system? ”
[Yeah, you've been working on your personal training ever since you met me. Well, lucky for you, the results weren't bad.]
What's the problem? ’
Yurius opens his mouth in panic.
“I've always used this ability of the system." This wouldn't have happened without the benefits of the trainee. ”
[It is nothing more than a natural use of existing abilities. Think of the days you wasted.]
“ ……. ”
Yurius only recalls the situation shortly after he returned to the past.
‘Everything was a mess. I had to do whatever it took to survive. ’
After his return, he had to use all means to raise his strength and build up his strength, avoiding the eyes of his enemies. And in the meantime, what gave me the benefit was....
“Help. Are you talking about your knowledge? ”
Of course, the memories of my past life also helped me a lot. But even the player's brief knowledge cannot be ignored. When he showed unexpected reversal, there was usually a power of help.
[Yes. If you cared about that, things would have gone a lot easier.]]
“Huh……. ”
Yurius feels beaten with a hammer to the head.
‘And aside from my childhood, have I ever actively researched players? ’
I think he was also interested in him when he had a little more time. Over time, however, the interest in the player itself became somewhat vague.
“Hmm……. ”
He blurted and thought about why.
‘There are many reasons. It's all because of the rise of the dominant force. ’
In the early days, we used every means to just survive. So he had no choice but to squeeze out all of his abilities. But after a certain period of time, I didn't have to.
‘And I've had enough of my abilities. ’
I have become strong enough that I can't compare my power to my past. There have been a few crises, but Urius has never been a threat to life.
As a result, Yurius continued his efforts as an unmanned man or as a prince, but eventually he neglected to sharpen and polish the abilities of players who were the key to regression.
Yurius' thoughts so far have changed into a serious expression.
‘I did my job. Huanglongs can complain. ’
He could already see the player's abilities through the video that Huanglongs showed. Overwhelming power to overthrow the sky and the earth with a light gesture! It's not something you can get with simple training.
‘Maybe the results would have changed if I had continued to investigate the player. ’
Yurius' condition was more or less than 'superb unmanned with the power of the player.' And how many hordes of martyrs has he faced?
[Huh! Now do you understand?]
“ ……. ”
Yurius smiles quietly, and Hwang Yong makes a surprising statement.
[In fact, your earlier actions were quite impressive for me as well. It's adaptable.]
“Huh?"
[You are a royal. You're at the pinnacle of an elaborate mindset. It cannot be done by anyone in such an environment to make good use of the knowledge of other worlds. The others must have valued you highly.]
“Hnng... ”
Hwang Ryong gave me a nice compliment. But then comes the harsh criticism.
[But aren't you a little careless that things are a little better? Imagine your purpose.]
“ ……. ”
Yurius had nothing to say. His goal was nothing at first.
[Live this life without regrets!]
But the goal became increasingly complex. The enemies that drove him out in his past life were like onions. I can't see my insides even if I keep peeling it.
[Player? What the hell happened to me?]
[Cult? They look suspicious to me.]
[The Grand Duke had a secret, too. It must have something to do with the player.]
[I suspected it before, but Leonard Hart is suspicious. I have to dig him up.]
[There must be a secret in the east I don't know.]
He gradually searched for clues like this, but it was important that way.
‘It's not an act. My response was too passive. ’
If I knew it was about players, I should have paid attention to it first. Killing the enemy in front of you isn't everything.
‘Then what skills do I need the most right now? ’
The moment I thought about it, Yurius' vision turned white again.
Phew.
And when he opened his eyes, he heard a sound.
[This is my second test.]
“ ……!? ”
[Begin Phase 2 of Huanglongs' Trial.]
[Stage 2-Obtain your abilities and knowledge.]
“Knowledge?”
[Yes, you are neither a player nor a human being in this world. It's a hybrid in the middle. In fact, I wanted to fix it in Crucible Phase 1....]
“Phase one, you mean that training before? ”
His memory was clearly a test that naturally raised his strength while sealing his senses of the Force.
[Honestly, it was absurd. That's not what I meant.]
Yurius was able to rise to the next level thanks to his ordeal. But that's not what Hwang Ryong meant.
[Players are naturally unmanned realizations, so it has nothing to do with this. It's just a structure that goes up once you've mastered the system.]
“ ……!? ”
[But the result was not so bad, so I let it go. You're so low on qualifications that it's just as hard to feel.]
In other words, what is strong as a player and strong as an unmanned is completely different. Yurius' current system skills were mixed with his own unmanned hardships.
“Then shouldn't we just do what we've done so far? ”
Huanglong shakes his head.
[What do you think are the player's strengths? You've been through this before, okay?]
Yurius recalls an emperor who had just fought with him.
“That's it... Ah! ”
[Yes, players are assisted by the system. That's why you don't need to pay attention.]
Originally, using high-end technology like Bigi required a high concentration and control of the Force. But the player did not have that.
That's why the Emperor Sharnos always had the upper hand when he fought him. It was possible to use multiple technologies simultaneously and quickly.
Yurius felt devastated.
“No, so I've been shoveling what you call up until now? ”
[It's not like that. If he had, he would have given up on you or torn you apart.]
“ ……!? ”
[Player is unable to apply. It's not a developed ability, it's an injectable ability.]
The UAVs were able to perform their arts and craft in a variety of ways. It's because blood and sweat are the result of young training, so I can understand how the ratio is operated. Depending on their proficiency, they are even more powerful than the player's spread.
‘So which one of the two cases am I on? ’
Yurius thinks for a moment and looks back at Hwang Yong with his surprised eyes.
“No way…. ”
[Yes. All I want is to take advantage of those two things. It's only possible if you're strong enough now.]
Player advantages and pure unmanned advantages!
Yurius can have both at the same time. He quickly opened his mouth again.
“How do I do that? ”
[…….]
Huanglong raised a notification window instead of answering.
Tiring!
[Follow the system's instructions to view the specific help. Classification-Virtual Reality]
[VR! The Mysterious Experience]
[Where does 2Xth century virtual reality end?]
[Surviving Virtual Reality - Unmanned Side -]
Numerous other data filled Yurius' vision.
“This?”
[Here are some resources to help you understand. And there's something else.]
Tiring!
[Follow the system's instructions to view the specific help. Classification-Modern Knowledge]
[Socialization education that even primitives understand]
[Modern Society Understanding]
[Advancement of Civilization]
“ ……. ”
[Understanding society is also essential if you want to know the player's knowledge perfectly. So...]
Huanglongs spits out in a decisive tone.
[Study.]
“ ……. ”
Yurius asks with a shivering expression, although the titles seem odd.
“All of this? ”
What he is looking at is more than a hundred books.
[Yeah, I know you feel like a child, but you can't help it.]
“No, that's not it… time? ”
If that's what he needs to know, he's right to study, but he's running out of time. The quest to go to the Holy Land was less than 3 months away.
[Don't worry, this is a space where virtual reality time is applied.]
A window was closed in front of Yurius' eyes.
[Virtual reality can slow the flow to one-tenth of the maximum reality. In theory, it could be hundreds or thousands, but the flow of human consciousness cannot be tolerated…….]
“A tenth? ”
[In this place, time flows ten times slower than outside. You've been here quite a long time, but it hasn't been three days outside.]
“Hmm?”
Yurius was amazed. Then time grows enormously.
[I think I should be stuck outside for about a year, but you make the call.]
“That takes too long. ”
Yurius cuts and refuses. Does that mean I'm stuck here for ten years?
[But it will take that long to master all knowledge? Like I said, you have a whole different world of common sense.]
“Hnng... ”
But I couldn't. The judge is about to fight the Bridge.
“Let's just try it for a year. ”
[If you run out of time later, you'll regret it. This space may not always come in.]
“But I can't help it. ”
[Tsk! Still stubborn. Then be my guest.]
Huanglongbing grumbles and retreats, Yurius slumps to the ground.
‘We don't have much time. I need to see it quickly.’
His eyes turn to help.
‘Knowledge about your world……. ’
It wasn't that I wasn't interested at all. I just couldn't see it quietly because I had so little time.
And time... ran fast.
* * *
The place has changed so much.
The headquarters of the vertebrae were located.
“Ugh…. ”
“What should I do?! ”
And it's also a place where there's a constant sigh. One of the owners of the sigh asked me a question.
“Military, what should I do? ”
“ ……. ”
Seeing the faces of those seated in the conference room, the Zegalneun nebula, who remained silent, bit their lips.
‘The situation is the worst. I think I've underestimated the magic of martial arts. ’
Yurius had not heard from him in over a month. In fact, I took the liberty of opening the door of the arena after three weeks of closure.
However,
“The Lord... is gone? ”
There was no sign of Yurius. The Gale Nebula thought for a moment but shook its head.
“It can't be. Lord, there must be a reason. ”
However, the situation was so desperate that there was nothing he could do.
“Spinal cord! What happened to the colored man? ”
“ ……. ”
Every time I asked that question, I had nothing more to say. I had to silently remove the frustration.
‘First, I do what I can. And we have no choice but to wait for the Lord to return. ’
He finally opens his mouth.
“Anyway, it's pointless to think about someone who's not there right now. And this crisis is also our fault, isn't it? ”
“Hmmm! Even so... ”
There is no sign of complaint. My head was already aching because I was thinking of making useless tales today.
“How dare you insult the Crown Prince! ”
“ ……. ”
Grrr!
The knights of the western continent were more agitated by Yurius's disappearance. There, another blind figure insults Yurius and draws his sword without restraint.
“Hmph! Who did the job first and got angry over here? ”
Woof!
The wide corners of your clothing flutter to make sure that even the blind people are lifting their spirits.
‘Hnng... If only Uncle Unhyun was here...' ’
The Jegal Nebula urgently tried to mediate between the two forces. The situation is so sudden! The two sides who were holding on to each other finally exploded.
But that's when!
“Just bear with each other a little longer. The Lord... ”
“Did you find me now? ”
“Huh?"
The Jegal Nebula looked at the direction in which it heard its voice with a surprised look. The others all followed his gaze.
“Lord!”
“Your Majesty!"
“Huff!”
Their gaze was at the entrance of the conference room. Yurius was just standing there.
No one was surprised, but he reached out one hand.
Chuck.
“ ……!? ”
Yurius extends his thumb.
“Eye Wilby Bag! ”
“Yes?”
