The Live

It was not easy to adapt to the way the world turned upside down, mixed up and down.

Yoon Jae lost his mind while watching the world turn upside down like that for just one minute.

I don't know how long I've been out. No, he may or may not have fainted.

It seemed like time had disappeared for a while. Like waking up in a deep sleep.

And then I woke up.

What felt like Yoon Jae's skin was not the warm air in a warm room, but the cold wind.

And…….

“Hey, where are we? ”

“The playground? Why am I here……. ”

“Isn't it a forest, not a playground? ”

There were a lot of people around Yoon Jae.

A massive clearing. Hundreds of people have fallen into chaos in the woods surrounded by trees.

And Yoon Jae, who was standing in the middle, seemed to be really fascinated.

‘It was real.'

Yoon Jae raised his trembling hand. He had a journal in his hand.

September 18th at 10: 00 p.m.

At the promised time, Yoon Jae opened his eyes in a completely different world.

‘Actually...' ’

Yoon Jae gripped his teeth.

If all the stories in the diary are true.

Yoon Jae knew what was behind it.

This was no longer the world where Yoon Jae was born and lived.

[Let's start the tutorial from now on.]

“What? Tutorial? ”

“Is this a game?"

“Where the hell am I! ”

The sudden sound of voices makes people even more confused.

Yoon Jae was also not confused.

But I found rest at a much faster rate than others.

It was a memory that came to my mind.

“Journal……. ”

[I fell to the other side, and the tutorial started. The backdrop of the other world is made up of games. No one knew why.]

A journal.

Thinking about it, Yoon Jae gradually regained his composure.

If those records are true…….

Yoon Jae muttered in his mouth.

Tutorials.

It was a system that anyone who had played the game had heard of. And it was the same in the other world.

Caring for people who have stepped foot in a strange world for the first time.

…… you might think so.

But the tutorial on the other side was far from considerate.

At least the world on the other hand, which was recorded in the diary, was not such a kind and caring world.

[Think of your weapon of choice. If you do not decide within a minute, you will automatically be given a 'sword’.]

“Weapons?”

“What the……. ”

While people were confused, Yoon Jae quickly remembered his weapon.

‘Sword.’

Though it is said to be basically a sword, Yoon Jae chose a sword without having to think twice.

He didn't know how to handle the other weapons, and he thought it would be better to use a weapon that was a little more familiar to his hands, as he had learned how to handle the sword a long time ago.

Good boy.

Yoon Jae gripped the sword.

An ordinary sword with nothing more than a handle and a white machete.

It was a real longsword that stood in the day.

Yoon Jae thought, looking down at the smooth blade.

‘It would have been better if I could use a gun……. ’

Of course I did.

What time is it these days? Are you thinking of a spear knife with a weapon?

Especially for Koreans who are divided countries, a man who has been in the military will think of a gun.

But…….

[There were a lot of people who thought about guns. But for some reason no gun was provided. Instead…….]

“What, what is this? ”

“Why is there a bow? ”

“This is not a gun! And no arrows, nothing! ”

The confusion that erupted from everywhere.

In their hands are bows, not guns.

Yoon Jae was also a Korean young man who had served in the military.

If I told you to think of weapons like that, it was natural to think of guns first, not swords.

But as a result, their hands were crossed with bows instead of guns. A bow that could not be handled was no more useful than a club.

If Yun Jae didn't know about this, he would have had a difficult bow to handle and recall a gun instead of a sword.

‘I really don't know if this is a future record or what the world is doing here……. ’

It doesn't matter.

‘My world isn't this way or that way anyway. ’

Eungyeong and Mina.

Two people's faces appear in front of them and disappear like a mirage.

“The world I used to live in.... ”

[Zombies approaching. Work together to stop the zombies.]

“Zombies?”

“A zombie, what is that……. ”

gruuuhhh

While people were embarrassed, strange cries came from all over the forest.

The sound of the crying stops for a moment. Yoon Jae stepped toward the forest without hesitation.

And soon.

“Monster, monster! ”

“Crazy! A real zombie! ”

Rotting, rotting zombies slowly begin to creep out of the forest.

There was only one person approaching them, Yoon Jae.

* * *

[The tutorial begins, and the zombies appear. All I know how to do is slow them down. However, no one was willing to move at the appearance of a monster I had never seen in my life.]

Jubbuck-

Yoon Jae approaches the zombies and recalls the next sentence.

[There was no great danger in dealing with it. But at first I was too scared. A walking corpse. I didn't want to fight. But…….]

Gruuuhhh!

The zombies cry out for Yoon Jae.

To be honest, if I wasn't afraid, I was lying. The story of the journal reached my bones. As I got closer and closer, my back grew creepier.

They're not people, they're not animals.

Literally a monster. If you're not afraid of monsters in front of your eyes, that's weird.

But...

‘There's something really scary about it. ’

Acknowledge -

Yoon Jae gripped his teeth.

A greater fear than the monster in front of you overwhelms Yoon Jae's fear.

‘It's not monsters that scare me. ’

Jubbuck-

Sadness is the greatest pain.

I finally found a clue that I can only meet again. It was the scariest thing for Yoon Jae to fail to catch it.

Yoon Jae's eyes became poisonous.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

Yoon Jae hesitates as she approaches the zombies.

The mind is ready.

Ta-da.

Yoon Jae runs as he swings his sword at the zombie's neck in front of him.

Pound-

Yoon Jae's sword cuts the zombie's throat in half.

No matter how common the blade may be, it was not easy for an ordinary person to cut the bones at all times.

Yoon Jae was also expected. Yoon Jae pulls the sword out of the zombie's neck with her strength.

[Zombies do not die easily. You cut off your limbs and move freely. I think I know why they call him a zombie.

Head and neck. Zombie weaknesses. I learned later that zombies have no pain, no fear.]

Head and neck.

Yoon Jae aims for the zombie's neck exactly as it says in the diary.

Fluffy...

The first walker falls.

Then...

[You have earned 1 Achievement Point.]

[I commend you for defeating the first zombie.]

[Achievement achieved.]

[I congratulate you on your brave determination.]

[Acknowledge Achievements, all stats gain +2 points.]

Multiple messages that came to mind at the same time.

My whole body was energized. I feel a little stronger and lighter.

He said that his physical abilities were marked with shame like a game, and that was what he meant.

A little faster! ’

It was only 2 stats, but unlike just now, I felt confident.

Clattering -

Yoon Jae swings her sword at the second zombie.

I couldn't cut it once before, but this time it was hard to cut my throat.

The power to wield the sword grows stronger and faster.

Gruuuhhh!

The zombies rush towards Yun Jae.

Their movements are slow. It was definitely a monster that appeared in the tutorial, so the difficulty itself was not that high.

Yoon Jae pulls back slightly, but wields his sword vigorously, aiming at the zombies' necks.

[You have earned 1 Achievement Point.]

[One Achievement Point…….]

[Increase Strength by 1.]

As Yoon Jae wields his sword against the zombies by herself, a loud voice erupts from behind him.

“Damn it! Oh, don't come! ”

“Ahhhh! Go away! ”

What a mess.

Those who are afraid of the approaching zombies simply swing a sword in their hand or a bow without an arrow.

Not everyone, of course.

“Shit, I don't know! ”

“They look weird. They're nothing! ”

Some people saw Yoon Jae fighting earlier and stepped forward, gripping his teeth.

But there were not that many.

Of course I did.

Even if Yun Jae is the first to go and kill the zombies, the opposing team is not human.

Besides, zombies resemble humans in a subtle way, so cutting their throats with swords also makes them resistant.

Few can wield a sword of their own against such zombies.

Most people just want others to step up and stop the zombies.

Evil-

Yoon Jae's sword slashes the zombie's head in one swoop.

2 stats for upward power while slashing zombies in addition to the first stat point.

Agility 1 went up there.

Now the sword is getting lighter and better at how to swing it.

Most importantly, the first two stats were quite valuable.

‘It's different.’

At first, I thought it was just a small change, but I could see it clearly with a little more strength and agility.

Killing zombies makes them stronger. There are already dozens of dead zombies in Yun Jae's hands.

Every time the stats rose, Yoon Jae's strength became stronger and his body became much lighter.

The first slow-looking zombies now feel much slower.

And the sooner Yoon Jae catches the zombies, the sooner naturally.

“Ahhhh!”

“Been bitten! Help me!"

“Aaaah! Don't come! ”

Yoon Jae gripped his teeth with screams from everywhere.

‘It's not time to care about anyone. ’

It was time to get stronger, even with a little poison.

I couldn't afford to take anything else for free.

The other side of the world was not a world that could survive with someone's help.

Only I had to become strong.

Shhh!

Yoon Jae's sword slashes two zombies' throats with its dagger.

Shhh! Shhh!

[2 Achievement Points awarded.]

[HP +1.]

And the last zombies that appeared around it collapse.

“Phew...”

Yoon Jae breathed out loud.

Until just now, I felt like I was out of breath, but I was able to relax a little.

Is it because of your health stats? ’

It looks like you just gained 1 health stat.

[58 zombies have been killed.]

[Respect your skills in hunting the most zombies.]

[100 Achievement Points awarded.]

[Your weapon gets sharper.]

[2 free stats awarded.]

The first phase of the tutorial is over.

Yoon Jae takes a hand to his forehead, confirming that there are no more zombies left.

Let's do it.

[Information]

Name: Kim Yun-jae

Strength: 15

Health: 14

Agility: 15

Reflection Capacity: 14

Physical Resistance: 12

Magic Power: 14

- Free stats: 2

In Yoon Jae's head, information came in turn.

‘You said it was based on a game, but it was real. ’

Total of six stats.

Yun Jae could see how much the stat increase, which was the first reward, was a big reward.

‘I only got four stats for killing zombies like that... ’

Twelve stats just for killing the first zombie.

We had a platform that allowed us to move forward faster than anyone else.

‘Magic power is 14 stats……. ’

The only stats Yun Jae gained after killing the zombies were strength, agility and stamina.

Yun Jae could roughly see what her basic abilities were.

‘Not bad. ’

Magic power.

In the diary, he said it was more important than any other stat.

Of course, other stats could not be ignored.

However, unlike other stats that have equal share, magical power was the most important stat that would later become the basis for dividing the strong from the weak in the world.

In general, all stats were based on 10 stats. Lower is lower than the average and higher is higher than the average.

Yoon Jae considers where to invest his free stats, one point each for strength and magical power.

Magical power is said to be the most important stat, but in the early part of the tutorial, strength and agility were more important.

However, we can not think about it later, so we agreed on one point each.

Not a bad start.

All stats of Yoon Jae were well above average.

“Shit! Where the hell am I?! ”

“Can anyone explain this shit right now? ”

People screaming whales.

They were running around without knowing they were in physical distress.

People's reactions to unfamiliar situations are largely divided into two.

Crouching, over-excited.

Yoon Jae was neither. Yoon Jae was already prepared for this situation.

‘Soon……. ’

Yoon Jae raises her head, checking her condition.

The sun that was floating in the sky began to set, and the moon rose to the other side.

‘Here we go.'

[198 survivors. Start stage 2 of the tutorial now.]

[The rules are simple. Three days later, the 100 people with the most Achievement Points can survive.]

Achievement Points.

That was the point you earned each time you killed a zombie.

Yun Jae was already aware of the need for achievement points in the next tutorial.

But…….

“What?"

“Can you survive? ”

“No way…. ”

A voice full of anxiety that erupted from everywhere.

Yun Jae was confident when she saw them.

‘I was the only one who received the journal. ’

Everyone else had no idea what the tutorial was or what the other side was.

From Yoon Jae's point of view, it was not bad, but rather good.

From now on, everyone here will be either a rival or an enemy.

[Except for 100 people, the rest will die. Remember, there are only 100 people who can survive.]

“Damn it! You expect us to die?" ”

“Only half a hundred people! ”

You yell at the whale, but you don't hear an answer.

The mysterious voice continues to speak.

[There are two ways to earn Achievement Points. The first way is to split up and fight the monsters of the other side and kill them.]

It was a story most people knew.

Anyone who kills a zombie will know they're giving you a breakthrough point.

A zombie monster is more than enough to deal with. Unless you're scared of the lever.

[The second way is simpler than before. If you kill someone who earns Achievement Points, you can get half of their Achievement Points.]

“What, what? ”

“Half?”

They looked at each other.

Kill people?

If we think about it, it means that everyone can live, except for a hundred.

Killing someone increases your chances of survival.

It was more realistic.

They looked at each other's eyes and began to be vigilant. The user notices that the target is thinking the same thing.

[Now, let's begin Phase 2 of the tutorial.]

As soon as I heard that voice, 198 people gathered and trembled.

Yoon Jae was also creeped out by the eerie feeling.

‘I smiled.'

Unlike the previous voice, there was a subtle mixture of laughter in the last voice.

Someone who dragged everyone in this room to the other side.

He must be watching them somewhere, watching each other kill each other like a god.

“That's a hell of a character. ”

Yoon Jae bit his lip slightly.

Step 2 in the tutorial.

Yun Jae also knew how this was going to go.

‘So far…… it's the same as the diary. ’

The beginning of the other world, the tutorial, and the second stage of the tutorial.

Increasingly more reliable At this point, the following contents were also reliable.

Yoon Jae tried to move straight away. He already knew what to do next.

But…….

“A boat, isn't it just a hundred people left? ”

A voice came from somewhere.

“No, you're right. Then... Then you don't have to fight the monsters... ”

There were more than one or two voices that were in tune.

They seem to think it's better to point the sword at the same person than to fight monsters.

And those voices made each other even more alert.

“Just a hundred more to go! ”

“Damn it, I don't want to die! ”

“Do you know who wants to die? ”

“Now, hold on! Stay away from me! ”

People stand vigilant to each other, even though there are no more zombies left.

If someone gets excited here and swings a knife, it's more likely that the stretched rope will snap.

Then this place will be a mess of killing and killing each other.

Then.

“So, what, we're just gonna kill each other? ”

Yoon Jae stepped forward and raised his voice.

His gaze gathered, and Yoon Jae said in front of over a hundred people.

“If you don't want to die, just kill the monster and collect your Achievement Points. It will be difficult... ”

“You, you're good at fighting monsters, aren't you able to say that? ”

Yoon Jae's gaze shifts toward you when someone asks.

Yoon Jae replied, with a mixture of laughter.

“That would make no difference to anyone. ”

The man flinches and bows his head as he raises his sword.

Yoon Jae's performance against the zombies was impressive. Without hesitation, the movement of swinging the sword was clearly outstanding.

Of course it comes from a sudden rise in stats, but it is clear that Yoon Jae can show superior movement than ordinary people.

“There's no choice but to leave a hundred people behind right now. But if we were to stab each other in the face, would there be 100 of us left? ”

Yoon Jae's question surprised people.

They knew, too.

If we get stabbed here and kill each other....

There was no guarantee that the stabbing would stop just because there were a hundred remaining people.

“This tutorial was all about getting together and stopping the monsters. What happens when this mission is over, and we need to work together next time? ”

According to Yoon Jae, people became deaf and dumb with honey.

If something like that happens....

Can we trust the man who put a knife to each other and tried to take his life now?

What if fewer than a hundred survived?

The situation is the worst.

There's no way we can work together.

‘In fact, the more people there are in the next tutorial, the better. ’

Yoon Jae already knew the next step of the tutorial.

For that reason, it was not very desirable for too many people to die here.

Moreover, the situation of giving up being strong by yourself, without collecting any achievement points, was the worst.

“Think about it. Is it really the right thing for us to do here? Or is it better to try and be strong and survive on your own? ”

Yoon Jae said so and started walking into the bush.

Then a woman who was close to him asked.

“Da, where are you going? ”

Yoon Jae glanced at the woman and replied.

“To survive.”

Along with that, Yoon Jae disappeared into the forest.
