How the Villain Lives

12. I love disaster movies

A pure white space.

It's usually embarrassing to fall into a place like this, but it's not surprising to experience it a third time. No, in a sense, it's rather nice to meet you.

"Can I get you a drink?"

"Absolutely. Is there anything you'd like to drink in particular?"

"Well, I don't know much, but do you have a drink I'd recommend?"

"Then I'll put up a glass of spleen."

Glug.

I close my eyes. Within less than 0.1 seconds, my surroundings have already changed considerably. An old-fashioned chair, a table, and an understated gesture that mimics the greenish liquid in the glass. I don't know how others think about this space and how it works.

However, at least for Sung-hoon, this place could be described as a nice vacation home.

You can rest before proceeding with a big mission, and enjoy all kinds of delicacies at no cost. Noting that the mission could not be avoided and it was impossible to get special information from Jerry, Sung-hoon focused on just enjoying it as much as possible.

The green liquid had a refreshing scent like grass leaves and smoothly passed over his neck, like drinking fruit juice rather than liquor.

"Delicious."

"If you want to make money in the city, a guild is more than a million items. Huhu."

"I don't like to drink much, but it's free, so if you don't enjoy it, it's a loss. But I can't drink it now, so let's get to the point."

I was mistaken at 12: 00 last time and then at 00: 00. Those who remember starting the mission and panicking at the time of the day change began to wait quietly after the date announced in the announcement, as if everyone had made an appointment. Sung-hoon was also waiting for all the preparations to be completed this time.

The first compulsory mission produced the best results, even if it was thought of by itself. I was in the worst situation, but on the contrary, I was able to produce the best results. But I didn't think that luck would follow me twice. You can't act carelessly and relaxed unless you are in a world where you return to the main character.

"I'm glad Sung-hoon has such a fast story. So let's get to the point. This mission is not a dungeon attack or a hunt that you have experienced so far."

"So how does that work?"

"Hmm. Do you like survival?"

"Survival?"

When Sung-hoon curled his head without understanding what it meant, Jerry said with a clasp of his finger.

"This mission is simple. A month. You just have to survive for a month. You can complete the mission if you survive until the end of the mission by cutting off one limb or barely breathing."

"Wait. Something's anxious. You don't mean to survive a month in the middle of an ogre or where dragon monsters come from?"

"Yes? I don't think so. Monsters are definitely there, but they can be handled at the level of current users."

That's not possible.

How can such a simple condition that you only have to survive a month be adopted as a compulsory mission? Even though things seemed so good, the story of Sung-hoon began to get complicated.

"Then why is the mission B + class? It's only a matter of surviving for a month, but why is it so difficult?"

A Class B mission is a top-level mission that cannot yet be challenged by flying top-rankers or large guilds. I have successfully completed a Class S mission, but it has only been done by looking at various circumstances and providing NPC with physical and skills.

"Sung-hoon is right. If it's just a condition to survive, class B is overrated. C, D will have to be a class. Nevertheless, there is clearly a reason for the B + rating. Only two conditions make that possible."

"Two conditions?"

"Yes, the first condition is murder."

Suddenly, the word murder comes from the story of surviving for a month.

"As soon as you kill another user, a small amount of food and drinking water will be automatically paid into your inventory. If several of you join forces, you will only be rewarded by the person who has caused the most damage."

"No way."

In the words of food and drinking water, something in the interior of Seonghun began to send an intense warning. If this imagination was correct, giving this mission a difficulty level of B + might have been too generous.

"Where is the mission taking place?"

"This is an island that has been blocked from access to land. Well, it's an island, but it's pretty big."

"... It stinks."

It stinks.

The idea of keeping tens of thousands of people on the island for a month. Moreover, the conditions for giving food to kill people are also cruel. In a word, it's a survival bee that dies and kills, right?

"Don't get too upset. The gods don't want the power they have. This mission gives you a chance to hone your viability, attention, bond and humanity, so in a sense, isn't this also an opportunity?"

"Well, what's the second condition?"

"It's not that great. You know about Mission Points in the previous mission, right? Mission Points will be introduced again this time. When the mission starts, a Submission window will be created separately. If you perform the contents of that Submission, you can earn mission points."

"Is the reward method the same as last time?"

"It's the same. You can bring the items you acquired on the island to Mission Point."

I don't know how to react at this point.

No matter how well I tried to think about it, the scene that came to mind was not at all positive.

"You can only survive a month?"

"Yes, it's possible for all users to put their minds together to overcome hunger without incurring a single casualty, and it's an inspiring clearance that lasts a month."

"Touching? If you were expecting that, you shouldn't have put the first condition."

There is even the audacity to expect a future where killing people gives food and does not kill people. However, the voice of the Holy Spirit was rather strange, rather than reproached.

"Wouldn't it be natural for you to be more impressed if you had enough trials? It's only in this mud that human nature emerges."

"I agree with that."

"The same goes for the gods. If you fall into extreme situations, no matter how much you raise your prayers, build up good deeds, and be nice, you can see the true reality, not the usual act. Even if a true good man goes to hell, he won't change. Similarly, even if a true wicked person goes to heaven, there is no room for concern."

Jerry laughed.

When this mission was proposed, evil spirits were quite embarrassed by the desire to vote in favour of the new family, which they thought would oppose.

'Did they say they could find the real jewel in the mud?'

From a human point of view, spirituality would rather look evil than evil. God says he tries to train and check the human of his choice. And the trials of the gods in this world are not of the middle category.

Huge trials that even the middle fishermen can despair, break and succumb to. Even when I asked him which evil god should lower his difficulty a little, he replied:

"It's not enough anyway, isn't it? It's not that few people are left, but if you look for someone who can understand his thoughts to this extent, you'll find enough. It's not like I'm starving to death. What are you so upset about? It's only a month, but if you're a real tough guy, you can't kill him even if you've been starving for a month and practicing cotton wool."

When he heard it, evil spirits were greatly enlightened by the words of the fresh gods and nodded. Jerry shakes his head and shakes his grasp, clapping lightly.

"Then let's get started. Please stay safe for a month."

Sung-hoon had already disappeared before Park Hwang Ri disappeared.

Well, I know I may seem a little weird, but I'm the kind of person who doesn't admit it unless I check something myself.

I can't bear to wonder if the goodness of people like believers and poets who have believed in God all their lives is real. A man born in a peaceful country and living a good life seems pretentious, and a man born in a country that just had a civil war and lived a good life looks like a real good man.

I can imagine capturing those people once and for three days starving or suffering and doing evil to confirm their true nature...

But imagination is just imagination.
