How the Villain Lives

6. Preparation.

A pure white space with white water everywhere.

It was like a dream, but Sung-hoon certainly remembered coming to this space one day. No, it was weird not remembering. It was the place where someone first explained the world of The Mission.

"Jerry?"

"Wow. You still remember my name. I can only say it's an honor."

I heard a voice directly behind my back, but the Holy Hun did not panic and lightly pointed his finger at the ground. Then Jerry snapped his fingers with a freshly smiled smile and immediately came up with a couch.

"It's been a long time. It doesn't look any different than it was then."

"Yooseong Hun seems to have changed a lot from the first time I saw him. You've grown a lot in many ways."

Unlike being weak at first, it was Jerry smiling at the appearance of Sung-hoon, who now boasts a mature atmosphere. In The Mission, they will be assisted by players. They were not always visible, but they were trying harder than anyone for the players they were in charge of.

I'm not just doing this because I like you. If the player in charge finally rises to the position of god, they are able to climb higher in recognition of the ball. Of course, they want their players to be stronger and more active.

In that respect, Sung-hoon is a very good player.

'Ranked 21st. Honestly, even if someone who didn't have the talent came all the way here, he was pretty upset.'

Those who ranked among the players in charge of other beings were all talented. On the other hand, it is hard to find anyone as ordinary as Sung-hoon among rankers. I can't believe you're approaching the rankers in plain sight.

Given that so many players were below average or barely above average, Sung-hoon was playing a very satisfying role for Jerry.

"I'd love to have a conversation with you about the talks I've had, but unfortunately, I'm running out of time. It is not enough to give a basic explanation before starting the mission in earnest."

"Ha. I didn't expect to start at 12: 00."

"Time is gold, isn't it?"

'Actually, it's because the gods are counting on it.'

In the meantime, the gods were hoping to begin a compulsory mission that would bring the atmosphere that had loosened up as quickly as possible. In particular, I started the compulsory mission as soon as the day changed, thinking that I would be able to wipe out all the beggars and unexpected beings.

"This mission is also a compulsory mission for the first time, and unlike other missions, there are many things to be careful about, so I have time to explain this in advance. As you know, the difficulty of this mission is class S. But the real difficulties don't go like that. To put it simply, the level will vary depending on the player, from A to C, if it is severe."

"Why are the different levels of missions undertaken by everyone participating?"

"Otherwise, everyone dies."

Jerry said with a smile.

"Thinking in common, do you think you can carry out Class S missions at the current level of players?"

"……."

"Absolutely impossible. If we gather all the people in one city, we'll wipe them out with just one Arc Reach."

There is no magic to pierce Arc Rich's antihorsepower, only a warrior who can pierce the Great Physical Defense and make a blow, but if you look at it with a sword, there will be no scratches on the bones. After that, Arc Rich will be wiped out by one great magic.

"That's why I need a balance patch. It is impossible to level down monsters. instead of improving the skills of the players."

"Is that possible?"

"It is possible. The class S mission that you will perform is' The Dawn of Darkness' because it is unfolded by the body of the NPC present in the mission, not the body you currently have. In a word, even though you currently have stats that are nothing special, during the mission, you perform with a much higher stat body."

"Wait. So you can't use any of the skills or abilities that people currently have?"

According to Jerry, there was no point in people learning and awakening their skills.

"No way. In the mission, all of your body's abilities will be added to the players' iced flesh. You can use all the skills. Moreover, the occupation or tendency of your body is based on your current occupation. Otherwise, we will find and possess NPCs that are as likely to be similar to your players as possible."

"Oh, so!"

Then there is definitely a possibility.

NPC's stats are added to their original stats. I can't say that I can't clear it because I don't have enough ability.

"Plus, we added middle-class heroic NPCs. If they are impoverished, the mission level will go down even further. Is that enough to convince you? The gods didn't give me a class S mission for the last time. Huhu."

I was nervous because it was a class S mission, but this is enough to make sure. Then what Jerry said was about compensation.

"And even though you were forced to participate, I have a class S mission, so I should reward you accordingly. Legendary items will be released in this mission. There are a lot of things that can be solved, and none of them can be solved. There are treasures like the mountain pile, and there are lives of bees that many users expect."

"You're already solving the legend right below Epic?"

"I'm sure you'll be more enthusiastic. And it's not that easy to get a Legend item. Another point to note in this mission is MP. Mission Points. It is possible to earn Mission Points by contributing greatly to the progress of the main mission or by performing small sub-missions."

Jerry said with excitement, shaking his head as though he was very sorry.

"You can also get Legendary items during the mission. However, at the end of the mission, you will not be able to bring any items from there to this place. It is possible to consume Mission Points and bring them here."

In other words, try to die to get what you want. Obviously, if you give them great rewards like life and legendary items, everyone will have to work hard.

"Finally, let me explain to you the sunrise that kicks out the darkness, a class S mission. It has the background of a battle of warriors to deal with the Demon King before the world was conquered by the Demon King, and the mission is divided into three places in total."

When I was sober, Sung-hoon and Jerry were sitting in the middle of the battlefield, and there were forces of monsters and humans fighting around them.

"This is a demon army deterrent that will be run by relatively low-level users. It's a mission to stop monsters by being possessed by soldiers. There are no major threats to this place due to the superiority of human numbers. The overall difficulty is quite low."

"Next up is the castle."

"Yes, your last name. It's the second battlefield to defend the castle built on top of the dungeon where the Demon King is staying. This is where players with average or higher skills play. I'm responsible for stopping the elite soldiers of the Demons."

Since then, the two of them suddenly began to descend under the castle. Surprisingly, there was a huge dungeon beneath the castle.

"This is the battlefield for top level users. All three of these roles are important. If the army is pushed, so many monsters will attack the castle with the demons. If the castle is not successfully defended, the demons will be added to the dungeon, making it very difficult to clear."

"All three must succeed."

"Yes. Even if you don't take care of the Demon King in the role of army and castle, the Demon King will come out and wipe out the rest of the people. In other words, this mission requires the involvement of all players. And... wow."

Jerry, who was explaining to me, frowned and sighed.

"Time's up. Too bad, but I think we should break up."

"I've heard enough explanations, so I'm fine. I don't think this is as hard as I thought."

Sung-hoon closed his eyes, thinking that he would generously demonstrate his skills so far with all his abilities. Meanwhile, as Sung-hoon disappeared, Jerry immediately opened the window to see what kind of body Sung-hoon possessed.

If you are possessed by a body such as the Royal Palace Knight Commander or General, you can easily carry out the mission. With that in mind, Jerry was forced to harden at the moment he checked the message window.

Paraplegic.

Rubbing your eyes and looking back has not changed anything.

"Why, why this role... Ah!"

The body that a player will be given will be created according to his or her personality or will be given by finding a body that is as similar in nature as possible. If he had fallen to the army, Sung-hoon would have been tasked with a scout or a thousand seals.

If I fell to the castle, I would have been on a mission like a Ranger or a Special Forces member. However, the mission of the Maze...

"I think you'll see it again soon. Sung-hoon."

Jerry thought he'd be back in this room in less than an hour. Sung-hoon was so unlucky.
