Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru

"In the meantime, shall we go outside"

I go outside thinking about how to communicate the threat of sticky fungus to the mites.

Leaving "The Cave of Running Water," the sky was already dim.

I thought I was attacking well, but I still got to the boss, so I guess it still meant a lot of time had passed.

I took the potato shishaw out of my bag and rarely used it as a pine light.

Too convenient to increase weapon proficiency, they tend to be forgotten, but Occasion Shishaw will never break no matter how long you light it, on top of being able to use it as a normal pine light.

It's a convenient item to look at as a pine light.

With that in our hands, we moved to a little high ground.

Look at the lights. There's a danger that the monster will come, but I can sweep it away with an apple thunderbolt the moment I see him anyway.

Then it's a decision that a promising place less likely to be ambushed would be better able to calm down and talk.

"Sure, 'The Viscose Forest' was about two fields away from here.

What if I go now and destroy you?

Mitsuki cut the fire as she calmed down and lowered her back.

Seems like her, it's a confident word.

However,

"No, even Mitsuki, in case.

Naturally we're all headed there, and I want to avoid fighting those guys in the dark.

Let's get back to the dojo once and come back in the light. "

That's dangerous.

It doesn't go very well with Mitsuki and them.

It's only about two weeks since the game started.

I know it's okay with the numbers of them right now, but I can't risk being useless.

In fact, it was sometimes here that I chose the place for my arm test to be this' running water cave ', which was close to the' sticky fungus forest '.

It takes a lot of time to get here, and I didn't have the sentiment that I was so thankful to stay in the 'sticky fungus forest', but I should still try it with a full attitude if I'm going to.

"... are you sure you're that much of an opponent?

Mitsuki's words bore more surprise than dissatisfaction.

Cat ears don't even have a heart, they jump properly.

"Oh. Those guys are not like any other monster in this world.

No matter how much mitzvah you try, you can lose. "

I'll tell you when I'm clear.

Throughout all monsters, the horror of 'Yellow Slime', also known as the worst enemy...

Yellowslime, the only enemy that appears in the Mucus Forest, is not, of course, the real mucus itself.

It's like collecting all the bad images that people hold when they hear about mucus fungus. It's a horrible yellow, amoebic group creature.

That is this' yellow slime '.

Well, if you put it this way, you might imagine a rather disgusting creature, but if you look at the real thing, the impression definitely changes.

Perhaps, but when we actually meet, I don't get the feeling that it's disgusting.

I just escape without words to the horror of my hair.

At least, I was.

When I first met them, the fear of that time was hard on my brush tongue.

The first time I ran into those guys was at level 50. When there.

Having erased the data at the wedding event, and then started solo play, I took the time but digested the quest at the beginning smoothly, raising the level to a little over fifty.

If you want to do a level increase from here around Ramlick, you're going to be inefficient as soon as possible.

Then I thought about moving to Wang Capital early already, saving my money and boarding my first demon sealed ship.

But the demon-sealed ship crashed brilliantly before reaching the King's Capital.

The merchants on board escape with a transfer stone, but even the price of boarding a Demon Seal ship was critical, and I couldn't have had a rare item that could be worth more than a few times that.

I resented the merchants who were just escaping, but it even says on the price list that the Magic Seal ship should be boarded after considering the risk of crash.

I guess complaining here is something of a difference.

At the end of the day, even the pilot escaped with a transfer stone, and with the deserted demon-sealed ship, I fell into a strange land of bright yellow trees and yellow grass.

Having managed to escape the burning demon-sealed ship and for now looked around, I was reassured that I did not see any enemy monsters nearby, but the decision was only premature.

The raid had already begun when I stroked my chest down.

If you notice, something like the yellow paint that was sticking to the trees falls to the ground with a bump.

Plus, the paint that fell to the ground didn't stop moving there, and I pulled over with the nearby paint to make a big chunk.

The anomaly didn't just stay there.

Other than on the trees, there will also be changes on the ground where there should have been nothing creature.

The yellow grass growing there rapidly groans, and this one gathers again and turns into something like a chunk of yellow mud.

When the grown 'guys' came at me, I finally realized.

There were no yellow trees or grass here.

It was just a surprise on the tree, on the ground, that 'those guys' were sticking around.

But the realization was too late.

By the time I realized who they were and tried to escape, I was surrounded by a yellow sea.

The first thing that struck me was an enlarged yellow bumpy mud doll up to about two meters.

But if you look closely, there was a constant yellow object in that mud doll, which aroused physiological disgust.

He wanted to escape with all his might, but there was no escape to escape or avoid.

I understood the level difference, but I broke down and waved my sword.

But he betrays his predictions, and the blow lightly breaks the mud doll.

Light handfulness as if even water was cut off.

When I found hope that I could go,

"Beep!!

The yellow mud that split left and right approached me as it pinched me.

Yellow mud hits me.

And as it is, it spreads throughout the body.

- From there on out, I'm already panicking and I don't really remember.

Vision is just yellow, yellow, yellow.

Nothing but yellow.

Just instinctively, I realized I was swarmed by that yellow thing.

VR game pain has been minimized.

I was fortunate that the whole body under constant attack did not convey the pain of being eaten alive.

But still, it conveys the feeling of something crawling around over your body without a shortage.

"Ahhh! Wow! Aww, Ngu!!

'Those guys' take it all over my body, pull me down to the ground, even crawl around my face, trying to get into my mouth.

Even if I wave my hands and scream desperately, there's no way 'those guys' are going down.

Yellow that swarms and follows me indefinitely.

… … …

Even though I know there's no way a monster can come into my body on a VR system, I'm afraid to open my mouth.

I roll on the ground desperately trying to do something about 'those guys' stuck in my body on my back, but the momentum of 'those guys' doesn't diminish at all, although I don't feel bad about bumps and something crushing on my back.

Alert indicating a decrease in the HP gauge, which causes it to stand in the ear.

I can't afford to pay attention to that, me rambling around in a semi frenzy.

For a long, long few seconds until the HP gauge reaches 0.

- In the end, I couldn't resist the yellow tyranny at all, and I was killed without the art of exchange.

In the sense of obscenity, it is a fine traumatic experience that even "cat ear cat" enters the five fingers.

And then, by the way, in the Ramric monolith that led to death,

"What is this!

What the fuck, you fucking faggot!

Or it's a crash!

I'll never be on a ship like this again!!

and aroused all alone, and I logged out.

Of course, after that, I never got on a ship that wasn't even like this.

Eventually, after about two hours of resumption of play, I killed my time with Ramric and headed to the Wang Capital on 'A different demon sealed ship from the one that crashed', this time safely to the Wang Capital without any problems.

Yeah, I knew I wasn't lying.

Well, naturally, it was the ruler of the 'Sticky Forest' that attacked me when I crashed from the demon-sealed ship.

"Cat Ear Cat" is the worst corner of the monster, "Yellow Slime".

This slime, in fact, has only one single HP and is very beaten and weak, but because the whole thing is so small, attacks by dots and lines, such as spears and swords, have little effect.

A thousand of them are finally about the size of one regular monster, but for slashing and attacking this with a sword, there are at most a hundred that can be defeated with a single blow.

I would say that a simple physical attack doesn't make much sense, as the 900 survivors will be physically obsessed with whatever powerful slaughter they unleash.

I wish I could use magic to carry out a face attack, but I can tell you I'm an incompatible opponent by the time I'm desperate for a melee position I can't do that.

Well, even if I could have used magic at the time, I don't think I would have ever won.

Besides, these guys have a bad way of fighting anyway.

There is only one type of attack method with yellow slime, 'predation'.

The point is, we even get together, we swarm, we eat our goals.

If you say that the image is hard to grasp, I wonder if you can grasp the feeling if you can even see footage of an army ant or a pyrania devouring prey.

The effect of predation is that, game-wise, it's a seemingly plain thing to say: 'Reduce the HP of a stuck opponent by one every certain amount of time', but conversely, it's pointless, no matter how defensive it is.

In particular, this tactic is very effective against human characters with an overwhelmingly low maximum HP compared to monsters.

If any benign warrior is preyed upon by hundreds of viscous fungi all over his body, there is no art of exchanging it clearly.

Or whatever the game is, if they do that in real life, I'd freak out before I die.

Besides, the subjects these guys eat are not limited to humans.

Players, NPCs, of course, even flock to items with HP and monsters who are supposed to be buddies for once, and eat whatever HP exists anyway but their peers.

And worst of all, if you eat, they grow.

- And this growth is the biggest feature of 'Yellow Slime'.

As a matter of course, there aren't more monsters on the field than a certain number in the basic "..." even in "Cat Ear Cat".

Because from one pop point, two or more monster groups never show up at the same time.

It can be said that the state in which a monster emerged from all pop points is the substantial maximum number of monsters in that field.

By way of exception, if a monster appears in a way other than pop, the total number of monsters on the field may also increase.

It can be, for example, an event raid on a monster, an influx of monsters from a neighboring area where the 'Demon Invasion Degree' has been maximized, or if the original monster has called the monster in some way.

'Growth' of yellow slime also hits this example.

Even if nothing is done, yellow slime divides and grows every certain amount of time.

That number increases to a rat formula, which eventually fills the forest with yellow.

The result is the yellow forest I saw.

However, their growth rate is not very fast when there are no predators.

No, you can clearly say it's too late.

Sometimes the size of the whole thing is very small, especially, and right after the start of play, it can be said that within a still small number it is hardly a threat where it splits.

However, the horrible thing about rat calculations is that the more time passes, the faster they become.

Even if there was one slime that first appeared, if you made ten splits, you'd be over 1,000 more.

Ten more splits from there, and it's a calculation that reaches a million.

Taking the trouble to leave the town of Lamlic at the beginning, it is not uncommon that by the time it comes to the King's Capital, all of the 'Mucus Forest' has been filled with yellow slime and has become like a golden field.

And then, when all the slime is filled in "The Viscose Forest," the yellow disaster begins there.

Do you remember the story that when many monsters are present on the field, 'demonic invasion' increases?

Naturally, therefore, when the yellow slime fills the "Viscose Forest," the "Viscose Invasion" of the "Viscose Forest" increases with horrible momentum.

The moment it crosses a certain value, the specification of 'Demonic Invasion Degree' allows them to invade adjacent fields.

Slime crosses the 'Sticky Grove' and floods the rest of the world.

The speed of their invasion since then is unparalleled.

Somehow other fields have their feed springing up at regular intervals, that is, monsters popping up every certain amount of time.

It increases only as much as the mass eaten on the boulder, there is no such thing, but when predation takes place, it definitely speeds up the growth.

Eventually, Yellowslime eats and grows monsters of neighboring fields, filling those fields with their yellow bodies and instantly pushing up the 'demonic invasion' of the place.

Then the yellow slime will slip further into the adjacent field, where it preys and grows monsters...... a vicious circle.

It's not uncommon for a boulder to give back to a monster there in a high level field, but if it's a field below level 100, they instantly rule.

Repeat it one after the other, and the mucus will eventually push it to the king's capital.

Well, even though games can afford processing power these days, they won't be dealing with monsters fighting each other foolishly and honestly where players aren't looking, but conversely, it also means that they will be drawn properly for the part they're looking at.

The super free man video, "Mucus Ambition," which took advantage of it and continued to watch the world invasion of the mucus fungi from the sky city was quite interesting.

While this video, double-speed playback, is essential, the more fun it is to watch as people play this game in and have knowledge of each field because they can observe in detail how the viscosities sweep the world.

The setting level for "Yellow Slime" is 120.

With 1 HP and 1 fixed attack damage, this level setting doesn't make much sense, but basically this seems to be the criterion for the strength of yellow slime.

As they enter a field below this level, you can see the yellow spreading across the field in an instant, controlling that field.

On the other hand, when it reaches a level 120 or higher, especially a field that exceeds level 150, we can see that the rate of invasion slows down.

Predatory attacks are of little significance because high levels of monsters increase HP.

For example, King Butcher, who tormented us.

I knocked him down quickly by backgammon means then, but he has a huge amount of HP and playback capability.

Even if the viscous fungus is caught in the body and preyed on, it is substantially intact because of the amount of HP it recovers more than it does.

As a counterattack, he says he will repel the Slimes in order to kick them in hundreds or thousands of units with assault attacks where judgment exists all over his body.

But quantity is still power.

The mucous fungi, which had been repelled merely by influx from one direction, can also dominate the area by turning everything around them into their own fields and attacking them from all directions.

The earlier butchers and the like will never be killed, but they will still not be able to kill all the sticky bacteria that push them in 10,000 units.

As a result, even if the monster is alive, things happen that the field itself is painted yellow.

Completely stopping the invasion on the water is about a volcanic field with the castle of the Demon King.

No, maybe even this place can fall one day, and sometime I'll be watching it in support of world domination from a slime perspective, but unfortunately I can't watch the world conquest of sticky fungus in this video.

After all, enemies near Rasdan are powerful, and most importantly because a clear time limit exists for this invasion.

As I said earlier, 'demonic invasion' everywhere jumps when sticky fungus spills all over the world.

Visiting Wangdu occurs the 'Wangdu Raid' event, etc., which can flatten into mucus in an instant, but nothing is the only event that occurs with the 'Demonic Invasion Degree' increasing.

- "Evil God Resurrection Bad End".

Leaving the sticky fungus world invasion for a long time, the war system decides that this world has become a demonic superiority, forcing the evil gods to resurrect and become game over.

Or in fact, if you normally think about playing games, you can't even say it's practically game over when the city is destroyed by mucus fungus.

Since the first patch, NPCs required for story queries have dropped quest items when they die, so clearing is possible if you can eventually defeat the Demon King no matter how many people die.

However, you can't possibly use them with no hints, and the likelihood of getting caught in a bug if you didn't advance the game with regular progression jumps, so you can't get to the Demon King for the most part.

If we want to avoid that, we'll have to somehow protect the city even if the mucous bacteria invade, but this is hard.

Their weakness is supposed to be fire for once, and they won't be close to where the fire is for a while.

I crashed into the 'Sticky Forest' in the game, and I wasn't attacked for a while, also because I was carrying a burning demon seal ship on my back.

But this won't last long either.

They don't give up if there are predators, even if there are fires, and they see that their numbers are adequate, they surround themselves and they storm without worrying about the fire.

And once your body swarms you, you have little more means to deal with it.

I don't have the skills to shake off the sticky fungi on my body all at once, and I can't expect support from my peers because of the risk of peer support.

And, as I was saying, a predatory attack on a sticky fungus always deals one damage, no matter how defensive it is.

This is not an attack that a human character with low HP can withstand.

Then before you can grab it, a magic attack from a long distance can be described as a theory of anti-sticky bacterial combat, but this is not an easy one.

Their speed isn't so great, but it's not a big deal to have enough firepower to counter their overwhelming quantity, and if the opponent is gathered and chunky, even if they can be defeated on the surface of that chunk, the magic won't reach the ones behind it.

And if they leave their enemies behind, they 'regenerate'.

I don't know what kind of processing they do gamely, but they don't eat together, but they eat the bodies of their people.

If there's a sticky fungus nearby between defeating them with magic and the body disappearing, he preys on his buddy's body and takes it in.

and multiply it into food, and multiply in number.

It still seems compatible with your buddy's body, for example, if you defeat 50 out of 100 sticky bacteria, the remaining 50 sticky bacteria will eat and grow your buddy's body and number up to about 75.

It's a very nasty nature, but that's the same, of course, if one of our people gets hit.

When one person gets hit, of course, he eats up to the items he has, and they grow again.

So if you get to the city, for example, it really sucks.

Their feed is innumerable, and this one cares about people and can't shoot massive magic or skills.

As a result, the number of allies decreases slightly and, conversely, the number of enemies increases.

Numerous' cat ear cat 'players challenged that desperate battle, and scattered without even finding hope.

- "Viscose Bad End".

It was then that words emerged that expressed that despair in the end.

Once the sticky fungus is out of the woods, a theory arises that it is too late, and at the beginning of the wiki precautions: 'Be sure to wipe out all the sticky fungus forest monsters every certain period of time. Otherwise, I think it was about the same time that the sentence' Grow and Stuff Infinitely 'was published.

"So now, at a time when their numbers are still low, we have to move."

While I lay low about the sources, I gave them as much information as I could.

However,

"You guys..."

Unfortunately, my story wasn't listened to seriously.

Kuma is sticking to my neck again and petting her head, and Mitsuki is pointing that way, and even to the apple, drinking the milk she brought from the dojo.

"That sounds delicious, apple"

I'll sarcastically tell you,

"... Mm. Milk, delicious."

Apple nodded joyfully with no expression, exhaling a milky breath.

Kind of horny, not......

"You know, we're talking about something important right now, right?

Those guys really suck!

Look, Mitsuki's right over here too... "

"Sure, that sounds like an unusual opponent"

I finally realized there that Mitsuki's cat ears were stretching pins and tense.

"Mitsuki...?

"I have pretty good eyes and a good night's eye.

It's just weird.

I can't find a single tree that's supposed to be on two fields away. "

Two ahead...?

For a moment I rebelled the words of Mitsuki in my brain and finally realized it.

The direction Mitsuki is looking at, which is, in the direction where there is a 'forest of viscous fungi'......

"No way......"

But it's impossible.

About two weeks after the game started yet.

At this stage, the number of mucus bacteria in the 'Mucus Forest' should not be so high yet.

No, before that, I can't believe trees are eaten...

(Right!!

I was oblivious that this world was no longer a game.

In the game world, trees are part of the field.

Except for something special, like a tree in a dojo, it was uninterruptible.

But not in this world.

I couldn't do it in the game, I could dig the ground and break the walls.

If so, of course, breaking trees, or eating...

"That's not good..."

The fact that the tree is gone, in itself, is fine.

But what if eating a tree was increasing the speed of mucus growth?

Although it has become interferable, it is possible that it is a substance for which HP is absent and that it had nothing to do with proliferation.

However, I can't predict what will happen any more than I'm showing a different development from the game.

(What do we do? Should we head to the woods as soon as possible?

Or after all, once you get back to the dojo...)

I was worried about how I should modify my future behavior.

"Do you realize that?

We are here in such a prominent place, with the lights.

And yet there's not a single monster coming after us. "

The words Mitsuki uttered blew the thought away at once.

I should have thought and predicted to the worst just now.

But what if things were already moving beyond that?

"Soma...!

An apple threw the remaining milk bottle, still only half of it, far away.

The moment it falls to the ground, something crawls out of the darkness and covers up the milk bottle.

"Become!"

And after a moment of stagnation, it went into darkness as if it hated the light.

The milk bottle that should have fallen there is no longer shadowed or shaped.

I swallowed the saucepan.

I don't even have to think about what I just saw anymore.

"Guys, be careful.

Anyway, stay away from me, from the fire. "

From now on, even a moment of alarm is unacceptable.

Because…….

"- This is already a sticky forest!!
