Haroon

The large area of the plaza was full of people with their own space. Harun, who was about to enter the safe zone where countless users log in and out, paused and thought.

Harun, who has always taken something seriously since he started Beyond, has been worried about the time of full moon. After partying with the users once, Harun was troubled that he didn't even want to look at it.

I didn't have any special plans, so I thought I'd have to hang out with Bell or find something else to do.

“Ah!”

I remembered.

The existence of the outsiders who helped my stepfather to make this wonderful game go unnoticed over my head.

Compared to my previous life, I made a lot of money, so I thought I could repay my kindness to some extent. I thought that whatever they wanted, whatever cash and items they had, could be a little more rewarding.

Harun stopped by the bank first. Banks were installed for users to use everywhere over a certain scale. I didn't see the users in the bank because it was too late.

Harun returned 5,000 gold. It was funny to see the mouth of the banker who was the same user in a huge amount of money. He had 10,000 more gold to spend on his own accord.

“Today's illusion is ₩ 30,150 per gold. All money, excluding fees, is paid. Thank you for using. ”

The banker was a user of the merchant family and was able to level up their commercial skills just by doing this banking job. The banker's attitude of unintended luck was incredibly friendly as he gained experience based on the total transaction amount.

Harun couldn't hide his heart proudly, seeing the trading window in front of him and the 150 million won deposited into the demo account. I had no idea I could make this kind of money.

Even though I tried to be careless, I couldn't erase the smile that came to my mind once. Harun happily logged out.

“Haha! I've been seeing a lot of that lately. ”

Bell smiles cute and cheerful as he often looks at him.

“I just want to see my sweet Bell. ”

Harun, who came out of the capsule with a gesture bell excuse, now grabbed her completely physically.

When a small and small bell came into his arms, the feeling of fulfillment that he had never felt at home before made him happy.

“Hehen, you're lying! ”

“No, I really wanted to see you. ”

Harun rubs his cheeks by pulling Bell's face.

“Oh, it burns! Brother, it hurts! ”

Even though I said that, Belle hugged him tightly to make sure he didn't hate that kind of skinship.

Her warm breath is felt in the cheek. It was Harun who hugged Bell with a sweet scent like the smell of honey.

Once I embraced her, I didn't want to remove her from my body. Warm and soft skin felt vivid through clear clothing, as if it had been turned into a body with warm blood like its own, not a body with no texture like before.

After a long time, Harun, sitting on the couch, rubs his face back into her cheeks.

“So, how's it going? ”

“Yes, brother. ”

“No, I think something's changed. ”

“What?”

Bell's big, round eyes were so cute.

“I think we've completely evolved into Humans... haven't we? ”

Bell's eyes curl up like a half moon, smiling as if he understood what he was talking about.

“Not quite yet. But I'm working hard, and I think I'll soon be born a real human being. ”

“I hope that day comes soon. We play games together, we go outside and watch. ”

“Me, too."

Belle nods to see if she wants such a day to come quickly, like Harun.

“But, brother, what really happened? ”

“It's really nothing. I came out to see you. ”

“Really?"

Bell's eyes turn half moon. I felt really happy that my cheeks were glowing too. Seeing that, Harun was somewhat happy. It warmed my heart that the orphan himself could give joy and happiness to other beings.

“Of course.”

Harun answers, and Bell rubs his cheek this time and pulls his neck.

The warm feeling that came vividly through the touch of the heart was inscribing both of them with a feeling of fullness and happiness that was not lacking. They sat there for a long time, tasting each other's body temperature and emotions without saying a word.

After such a long time, Bell still whispers in his ear with a graceful face.

“Brother, I want to become a human quickly. ”

At that moment, you can feel Bell's thoughts closely.

Huff!

Until now, I felt a feeling that I had never been conscious of. The puffy, elastic ridge of his chest pressed against his firm chest, bringing out a strange sensation I had never felt before.

I felt the sensation of the buttocks following my chest. Come to think of it, he was bare and Bell was bare because he was also a hologram. The senses of the opposing flesh sharply dig through his sensory organs, like the days of a sharp scepter.

Harun's face became puzzled by the first contact with a woman who was like no other world.

“Yonseok!”

Surprised by a strange feeling he had never felt, Harun tried to cut Bell off, but her body was much stronger than before.

‘Phew.’

Harun, who closed his eyes, was surprised by the strange emotions, but at the same time, he hugged Belle's small body because he was caught up in an unknown urge. Harun breathed in haste, surprised by his reaction.

“Hehe!”

I can feel the sweet, tender bells.

"When did she become a woman? ’

Apparently, she looked like a girl who was still growing up, but Belle was already a girl. Kina's body was becoming that of a girl who was still a girl, but her body was already becoming a complete girl, and she began to smell the sweet scent of mature women.

Again, for a long time, there was a long silence between the two embracing each other.

There was something invisible but sticky between the two of them that closed their eyes and tasted the vivid texture of each other transmitted to the skin and to the chest, which was thickening and hardening like a thread by thread.

“Bell!”

“Huh?”

Bell's answer, which was as cute as a child, was now coming out of a mating ceremony that only women could have.

“It's good to be here. Right?"

“Yes, brother. I wish I could stay like this forever. ”

Belle suddenly changes her tone, and she digs his arms as if she's never going to leave him.

Harun was baffled by a strange impulse he couldn't tell Belle about, and changed the subject.

“Belle, you know where the outsiders who helped your stepfather live? ”

“Yeah, it's Science Town. ”

“Can you find me a location, then? ”

“Okay. This is it. ”

At the same time, Bell raises a hologram window in front of Harun's eyes and points to one place.

“Right outside F3-4. Not that far from the black market. ”

It was west of Union. The number after each section name indicates the direction. For example 1 points east, 2 points north, 3 points west, and 4 points south. Then, each 15-degree angle of the direction is given a number to indicate the address.

Thus, the area of F3-4 was virtually as adjacent to the area of F4-1 where he lived.

There was an abandoned power plant. The power plant created at the end of the Apocalypse was a kind of nuclear power plant that was being processed until the end of the war.

It was built with a new concrete construction method that was discovered at the end of the age, and it seemed like the outsiders had lived in it. The buildings that were built at that time remained solid for centuries.

It would take a normal person two days to get there, but it would take less than a day to use messenger walking that could unfold in real life.

“Are they still there? ”

Harun mutters. She doesn't want Bell's answer, but she explains it in detail.

“I will, brother. According to my information, the power plant has two small reactors that can still be advanced. There are solid exterior walls and defenses that can effectively defend against Hark and other mutants as well as living spaces, making it safer than anywhere else outside of Union. ”

“Do you know what happened there? ”

“That's ……. ”

I didn't seem to know that much.

“In just a little bit more time, we'll have access to the satellites that humans had floated in space during the Apocalypse. Then we can get the ground level to nanometers, but we still need more time. ”

Bell grunts as if he had sinned for no reason, without lifting his face.

“I'm a little frustrated because I don't know what's going on. Don't worry too much. I'm satisfied with your current abilities. ”

Now she feels like a lovely sister and the same human being. Of course, Harun doesn't recognize her just as much as the evolution of a computer with artificial intelligence.

“But……. ”

“It's okay. You'll see when you get there. ”

“I need to grow up quickly so I can help my brother with my whole body. Belle wants to grow up fast. ”

I didn't quite understand what it meant to keep growing, but I hugged Gigi again because I felt sorry for her.

“Yes. Grow up fast. But I think you're pretty and adorable enough to be who you are. ”

Bel smiles and grabs his neck lightly, feeling the warmth of his words.

“Thank you, brother. I'm so happy you're my brother. I want to live like this for the rest of my life. ”

“Me, too."

Harun rubs his face against Bell. Rubbing her warm and gentle face really filled his heart with happiness. This time, I was fortunate that the stimulus caused by contact was much less ugly.

After a long time of enjoying the warmth, Belle still holds him in her arms.

“Speaking of which, brother! I have what I need. ”

“What?”

“A little more. There are too many machines and devices I want to make, including nanobots. But I don't have the materials, and I don't have room for that. I want my brother to make a lot of money and move to a big house soon. ”

“Home?”

“Yes, I need a house with a large workshop. And, of course, a lot of materials. ”

Harun narrows his eyes for a moment.

Union's land, which has only limited its barriers to space, has already been created in the early days of union creation and has been continuing to be owned by a group of businessmen, scientists and soldiers now called Noble.

Because of this, the price of land or house is enormous, and most Union residents have been using the house in the form of rent. The rent varied slightly each year, but was usually set at three to five percent of the income, making it a stable source of income for Nobles and a chain that never escaped from poverty being taxed by ordinary people.

Since only a few decades ago, the Union government, represented by the Senate, managed and operated on behalf of all the buildings to prevent the collapse of the Nobles' free rent raising, the price was now very stable.

I do not know much about the world's water supply, but the money I pay back may not be the right house, but it may be a faulty house. I thought I could buy a single-floor house on the C and D side of the basement.

Located exactly halfway from the center of Union, the boundary area was sometimes difficult to live in due to excessive energy accumulation, overlap, or interference.

So people were living on the third or fourth floor of the basement where that energy anomaly did not occur. It would be reasonable as it would only be an apartment in Area D of the same size.

Since it was a place for labs and workshops, it was not possible to rent it with a lot of interference.

It was information I knew because one of my classmates lived there.

‘Yes. With Belle's ability, we should be able to do enough. ’

Harun explained the area to Bell.

“Perfect. That's exactly where I want to be. ”

Underground three- and four-story houses with small garden areas remained overflowing with laboratory or workshop spaces.

“Good. Now that you mention it, let's find out. Open up Uninet! ”

Harun searched for Uninets that govern Kowon Union through a global network of Internet sites across the globe. The Union government searched for information on housing rentals that directly governed the area, and found that many homes in the area were rented out.

The use of energy essential to life is not adequately habitable because of the unusual phenomenon. The government's control was also full of complaints about him, so there were a lot of empty houses.

Of course, there were few properties. I picked one of them, and it cost 200 million won. Thinking about the ground and underground space, it was really cheap.

Bell confirmed the structure through a photograph of the actual spaces, including the blueprint, and made a satisfactory smile. Apart from living areas on the four basements, we were able to use the four floors of living spaces in laboratories and workshops.

‘If you auction off items recovered from Fukran at 150,000 this time, you will get the purchase price. ’

“Let's do this house. This stuff is old, so there's no need to rush it. If you don't have the materials you need, moving in won't do you any good. Let's go to Science Village and decide the move problem. ”

“Heheheh heh! Thank you so much, brother! ”

Harun was pleased to see what Belle liked. It was really nice to have the ability to listen to what my loved ones want.

“But you also need to get the materials you need from the black market, right? ”

“Yes. I don't think we should find out at Union. ”

“I need help from my brother, Baran. Great! We can't go to Science Village empty-handed anyway, so I'm going to the black market. Get me a list of things I need. ”

“You're the best! Thank you, brother! ”

Belle embraced Belle with a smile as if she had her own space.

‘This one is secretly addicted. ’

It's a bell full of girly greed on the outside, but when I hold it, I don't want to take it off. I always wanted to be like that if I didn't get confused.

“Him. You should do this. ”

It's really nice to have the ability to hear what you desperately want from someone. Not to mention a gift.

Cocksucker! Boom!

Bell slaps a small, plump lip across his cheek.

Harun grins like an idiot. Having a sister as cute and beautiful and capable as Belle can be a wonderful thing.

“We need a lot of money, by the way, so we'll have to auction. ”

Though he could spend the money on the account, it was best not to leave any problems in the future. Harun, the Union government, who had hidden or distorted many truths and brainwashed them, could not be trusted.

Harun recalls a few of his items. They were all relatively useful items from Hookran to fishing grounds.

Harun searched the dark jewellery site where Bell had opened to find out the approximate price of items he would put on the auction and put up an auction.

Crimson Magic Staff

Grade: Magic (Award)

A magical staff made of Processed Red Orm, a precious jewel. Comparable to canes, Mana conductivity is 32% faster with an amplification rate of 124%. Up to 4 circles can be used and, optionally, can only use a Magic Missile once a day.

Auction Start Price: 70 Gold

Angel Bracelet

Battleaxe-Warrior Fighting Spirit

Grade: Magic (Award)

A battle axe used by powerful Orc Warriors and Warrior Generals. Can only be used with an Attack Power of 150 or higher.

Options: Strength +10, Stamina +3

Auction Start Price: 100 Gold

Harun placed a one-hour time limit on all three auctions. Of course, if you stall for longer, you're more likely to get more, but you'll need cash right away. I had to find a lot of money at the bank to stop at 10 million won.

The price was hard to predict because the illusion rate had fallen more than the last auction and many items had been released. But I also expected that the demand for users with that kind of funding would increase, so it would be similar to the last time in reality.

‘This should help the outsiders, right? Well, if it's not enough, we'll find more at the bank. ’

Some of the items that checked the information were wizard-specific, but they were willing to deal directly with the sea urchins. She would be worth more than herself. I helped out the last time and there was no way I could cheat.

‘You'll have to catch me once and clean up. ’

Inventory and cheap sub-space, there are many items that have not been checked yet, but I didn't want to or want to feel like I didn't have time. If there was not enough space, I thought it would be better to use it like that when I needed money.

It was even more so when I thought there were many items that I couldn't check. Moreover, he still didn't know where to spend a lot of money. Entertainment (?).

“Bell, what kind of things do the outsiders need? ”

“Well, the information outside the barrier is classified, so I haven't seen it yet. Information about the outsiders that can be accessed is very limited, as security is still low. ”

Harun gives up his expectations of Bell and recalls the information he has.

I heard from the merchant that the situation outside was very bad when I was looking for Harlan's Horse and Medicine. In the case of mountains or oceans, he heard firsthand that most of the plains were turned into deserts, while the vegetation became more abundant than in the previous apocalypse.

“Well, maybe we should buy some food. But would it help to have food that only one person can carry? I wish I could buy a lot and bring it to you. The problem is transportation. I wish I had a magic backpack. ”

Harun reminds me of Beyond.

A magical world like that could easily be transported with a huge amount of groceries in a few magical backpacks.

Seeing him like that, Bell cautiously said.

“Brother, I'll make it for you later. But just because you don't have a backpack doesn't mean there's no way to transport things. ”

“Huh? There's a way? ”

“Yes. Although there's no such thing as magic backpacks, why not hire them if you're certain that the outsiders will reach the black market through a secret passageway? I think some of you are professionally moving things out of the barrier. ”

“Well, it's easy to find a way or contact them. That's a good idea."

Harun strokes Bell's head with a satisfactory smile.

“By the way, you're going to need medical supplies. They wouldn't have that kind of pharmacy technology or factory. ”

“Very well. Then it's your duty to find out more about their situation. ”

Harun rolls his head for a moment.

“Yes! There was seaweed. ”

I didn't know the capability in detail, but I thought I could use her as an information trader. Looking out the window, you see two faint moons in the dark through the barrier.

'You don't think Harlan used the best capsule, do you? ’

In most cases, users will not have access to Beyond, even if they are adults, for up to 14 hours a day. It is intended to minimize physical and mental damage with long-term access.

For users who usually have a job, it was common to play for about 6 hours a day. That was a day in Beyond.

As long as I had the know-how of the game or was lucky enough to continue earning great items, or was not a dark gamer who made the game a living, I had to solve the problem.

Advanced capsule users were subject to the use time limit, but there were exceptions.

For the best capsules, continuous access was possible because the advanced system automatically does all the menstrual activities, such as nutrition and excretion. Of course, I had to log out at least once every two days. Otherwise, the muscles weaken and the physical body of reality takes a big hit.

But even the best capsule users rarely have a continuous connection. Most of the people with that kind of wealth are Nobles, and they were more interested in the reality of exercising unmatched military power than in the game.

“Put me through to this number. ”

Fortunately, shortly after attempting to make a video call to the number you received from Baran, Harlan revealed his face.

She hasn't even taken off her suit yet, as if she just came out of the capsule. She's taking off her suit even when Harun can see it. I was surprised by her attitude as if she were Bora.

“Hehe. What is it, her? ”

Harun glances at her actions with curious eyes, even though Belle has turned away from her embarrassment.

The suit takes off, revealing the body of a pearl in its lustrous underwear. The figure of the eighth idiot seems unhealthy and resilient, unlike the user who chose the wizard.

“Oh, there's your sister. ”

“It's Belle.”

Harlan gives a light hello as he winks at Bell, then turns to Harun.

“But I thought I looked pretty good, and I guess I didn't. ”

“Why?”

“Your eyes didn't shake at all. I tried to take it off, but I'm disappointed. ”

“You did? You don't have to be disappointed. The eyes were delightful.”

Pick!

Harlan smiles and changes into his lingerie. Wherever she is, there is another capsule, which appears to be comprised of perhaps twin serrants.

Harlan opens his mouth with his butt on top of the capsule.

“I heard from my older brother that you were back and forth. I wish I had called sooner. ”

“I have an urgent matter. ”

“What's the point of calling someone who can't shake my body or face at all? ”

She asked with a grumpy voice if her ego was broken.

“I want to know the details of their lives. ”

“Outer? Going to see Nine? ”

The sound of an outer voice raises the peat in place. It looked complicated.

“No, I have to go out. I think I need to know information about the outsiders in advance. ”

“I see. I see. ”

Harun had a strange thought, but that wasn't the point.

“Okay. I don't know what you're wondering, but I'll tell you about the outside world as I know it. ”

Harlan takes a glass of water and starts talking. By Harun's side, Bell listens to Harun with gleaming eyes.

Outside the barrier, a lot has changed during the Apocalypse war and the Dark Ages.

Basically, the plains with many cities have been turned into barren deserts by nuclear weapons with little exception. The Union was built in such ruins.

He was still breathing the life force of powerful radioactive materials left in the atmosphere and on the earth. Desolate land where only the sand and dust winds blow, but some areas still produce plants like grass and grasslands with little to no water.

Plants that overcame and emerged from radiation were mostly species that had never existed before, but some of them were species that had existed before. Plants like 300 herbs had a life force strong enough to overcome radioactivity.

However, most plants were not edible by humans or animals. It was highly toxic.

They were absorbing constantly pollutants, including radioactivity, to purify the world little by little. But it would still take thousands of years before the Apocalypse war to purify itself to the environmental level of extreme contamination.

The mountain range was somewhat different from the plain.

Many plants died during the end of the war, but the density of pollutants was significantly lower than in the flat or urban areas, so many plants disappeared as if they were extinct.

A powerful evolution took place throughout the plant in a very short period of time, although the cause is unknown. Before that, there were hundreds of years of evolution that would have taken place over tens of millions of years.

The power of evolution was great. The plants were similar in appearance but had more vitality than before. Especially herbs have powerful medicinal properties, along with stronger vitality.

Many outsiders have lived in underground spaces where villages were formed from relatively low pollution, large underground facilities built from secret bunkers, or military ruins built from strong concrete, invented at the end of the age.

The outsiders initially survived by peeling and eating the bark of grass or trees, but now they share a large amount of corn and parrots, a type of potato, adapted to the contaminated environment through powerful mutations.

Outers near the barrier have also been trained to become warriors by fighting alongside mutants and generations of martial arts, or by supplying goods outside the barrier to the black market, such as the Nine party in the town of Entertainment, and by buying what they needed.

Even just near Kowon Union, the number of Outer Towns is about 20 days' walk away. The survival of the outsiders who had survived the contaminated environment was strong, and the population gradually grew.

“So what do they need most? ”

“Of course it's food. All the rice and wheat-like grains grown at Union's direct farm and artificial meat made by synthesizing plant proteins extracted from mass-produced soybeans, as well as vegetables, can't be obtained by themselves. ”

When I heard the description of Harlan, the situation was sketched in my head like a picture.

“And then?”

“Well, old-fashioned machinery like medicine and clothes and generators. Although they have more knowledge of the end times than we do, there is no facility or power to build such a thing because of the environment that is constantly threatened by mutants. ”

“Hmm, I see. ”

The items that Harun should bring as gifts to the outsiders who helped his stepfather are approximate.

“Where are you going? ”

“I have business in a village on the site of a power plant outside District F3. ”

Harun's words raise his eyes wide and shout.

“There? You mean Science Village? ”

“You know?"

“Of course. We also deal regularly. The village is home to a large group of outsiders who have learned science from the Apocalypse a long time ago. ”

Harun nods. That's why my foster father would have been able to study Bell, a supreme capsule with artificial intelligence. In the absence of anything, such research could not have been possible.

“And I need some people. ”

“If you're a person, what specifically are you doing? ”

“I need people to cover me with porters, food and medicine, etc. ”

“Of course I do. He's a worker. We can get him ourselves and have no problem escorting him. That's what warriors in the village do, the Nine I met last time. ”

It seemed like things were going smoother because of Haran. Though it was a bit computational, I felt very fortunate to know her.

Meanwhile, an audible tone informs you to complete the auction.

“What is it? An auction? ”

“Yes.”

“What item? ”

Harlan asked with curious eyes.

"Let's see! The Magic Master's wand won 320 gold, the Rare Angel's Bracelet won 551 gold, and the Magic Master's Battle Axe, named Warrior's Brawl, won 410 gold. ”

“Angel bracelet? Sell it to me. I could've given you 600 gold. After hunting without a cult, I needed a healing line item. ”

The eyes of the pearl hitting the drum behind the back seemed to be filled with a strange light. You must be wondering where you got those things. But Harun didn't want to satisfy her curiosity.

“If you don't, I've left some magic items for you to use, so make sure you get the right price. ”

Harun was generous to her just by getting information about the situation outside the barrier or the outsiders.

As he puts the item's information up as a hologram, the stirrups surge.

“Ugh! Rare grade magic wand! Option is Mana Auto Charge and 140% Mana Amplification! How could you do such a precious thing? ”

The items presented to her were the best from the Hookran to the fishery. It looks like something a ranker used to use, but unfortunately it was dropped dead. I tried to give it to Hall the Wizard in the first place, but I decided to sell it to Harlan as a bribe.

“How much do you want for it? ”

“Well, that should be 1,000 gold. But Harun won't get all that great money from me as a friend... How much will it cost?”

It wasn't the year I put the merchant temperament somewhere else.

“We'll take it all with weapons and armor. We'll need it to get out of the barrier. Of course, I'll give you 30% off the sale price, right? ”

The work of reality or Beyond's handicraft is usually similar to or severely multiplied by the cost of materials, so there is no harm to her. Just as he thought, Haran whistles.

“Kohl!”

“Good. I'll see you at the store then. ”

“Okay. I'll make arrangements. And how much do you expect to buy? ”

A Ghost Ghost Harlan, of course. I am prepared to buy the products he asked for. The domestic economy was certainly capable of being called, if anything else, by marriage.

“I'll spend all the money I made today on goods and transportation expenses. ”

I've decided to spend all the money I'm going to get today on a black deal. I thought it was a bit excessive, but I felt comfortable considering the value of Bell.

“Okay, so that's about KRW 25 million. I'll take care of everything. Leave it to me. ”

Harlan lets out a gust of wind and knocks the capsule filled with serpentine. Maybe he's even trying to borrow her powers.

Harun closes his video call and quickly prepares to go out. He's agreed to meet with the winning Humans near the black market. I was annoyed that I had to face you face to face, but I had to do it because I needed cash.

“Ehyo, I miss Beyond. ”

I wanted to go to Beyond quickly. I had to make a deal and buy things with it and stop by Science Village, where I helped my foster father, but it was all a bother. But there are some things that can no longer be postponed.
