The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[18th, 19th. 16: 20]

You see the face of the man in the purple robe.

Same face again.

I thought about it.

I had to think about it.

Can I repeat this?

Can I see their faces again?

It wasn't.

I broke a man's neck with my bare hands.

And then I checked the message.

[You have completed the 18th Floor of the Hell difficulty tutorial.]

[Heals all status conditions and injuries.]

[You won 3,000 points as a Clear Reward.]

[You won 3,000 points as the first clear reward.]

[There are many gods who have a positive reaction to you. You have earned 7,500 points.]

[There are many gods who have a negative reaction to you. 2,500 points will be deducted.]

[Gives additional rewards based on play history.]

[Death wishes to present some of his powers in exchange for an additional reward. Accept?]

[You've earned Soul Collection Lv.Max.]

[All the gods of the vaccine are watching over you.]

[The god of slowness watches over you.]

[The God of Adventure cheers you on.]

[The god of duel is silent.]

[The God of Death is very pleased to see you.]

[The God of Life looks at you negatively.]

[The god of pain smiles upon you.]

[The god of dedication looks down on you.]

It's finally over.

You squat down on your knees and exhale, as a reward for clearing.

Black pant on a purple top.

The target of a simple costume outfit was not one person.

That's a total of six.

They all showed expressionless, numb reactions like puppets rather than human beings, and it was possible that the six faces and kidneys were exactly the same, such as replicating humans.

I wasn't sure.

But I didn't want to dig any deeper to find out.

It was a story I was not interested in.

I checked the map I was looking at before the target died.

It was a map of Aoeo Island.

The map was marked with a red line.

Having thought about it for a moment, I was able to figure out what the line meant.

It was the same line as the targets.

Target meets in one place on Days 3 & 13, 23 & 30.

The location was the former square.

… very good information.

If we had found this secret hideout deep in the alley earlier, we could have waited 30 days and wiped out the targets.

I wept because of my regret and guilt.

I tried to endure chewing on my lips and tongue, but there was groaning with blood.

I could have avoided this tragedy even if I hadn't found this place.

Whatever.

Now that I've decided to stay here for a long time, I wish I'd forgotten about the terms of your stay and played it neat.

If you ended your search immediately after locating the target.

If you defeated the target from a clear distance rather than provoking it.

If only I hadn't foolishly branded myself as a target.

All the stupid and uncomfortable things I've done have brought about this disaster.

It was my fault.

There's no going back now.

I've already completed this stage.

You clear the portal that appears beneath your feet and move your feet.

Outside the building, there was still sunshine.

It was difficult to walk.

One step at a time, a corpse hangs from your feet, and the floor is sticky with uplifting blood.

As I was walking so uncomfortable, I found a cup of paradise in the street.

It was a parable left over from someone drinking.

It wasn't surprising.

It was the paradise that was commonly seen everywhere on the island of Aoeo.

I raised my glass and drank the remaining paramour.

It's hot.

The ice cream was still melted.

That was it.

Paramals were no more than sweet water, no less than that.

It made me feel better, and it didn't connect me with anyone else.

There was no one else to take over.

But I couldn't stop drinking Paramal.

Every time Paramour entered the street, I took a sip of it.

With the hope that its effects will come back to life after the sweet taste of the paradise.

This day I drank a lot of paramals.

I drank too much and vomited too many times.

* * *

[18th, 20th. 10: 00]

There were no more paramours left in the streets.

It was natural to drink, vomit, and drink without rest.

But I continued to find Paramal.

I wanted to drink more

What came to mind was a café with scents.

In the basement of the cafe was a large warehouse.

Paramal Warehouse.

I remembered drinking Paramalade at the warehouse with the scent, so I went straight there.

When I entered the aromatic cafe, I felt strange.

It's time for breakfast at the cafe.

Commemorating the beginning of the day, I greeted people at a cafe, met fragrances, and ate breakfast.

You walk into a quiet cafe without a soul and head to the warehouse.

As I walked down the narrow, dark corridor to the cellar, I felt familiar.

I know how the scent died.

The storage door is locked.

I held the lock in my hand and was able to roughly rip it off.

Inside the warehouse are large wooden barrels.

A wooden barrel full of paramalade.

I took out a cup and drank it from a wooden barrel.

It is now a drink that has no effect, but it seems a little different to me.

Every time I drank and my tongue felt so sweet, I could recall that feeling I had not long ago.

I drank for a while.

And I was mistaken.

Nevertheless, I couldn't stop drinking Paramal.

This day I only drank Paramalade all day long.

I vomited as much as I drank.

* * *

[18th, 23rd. 17: 30]

An uninvited guest has come to Aoeo Island.

They were the ones who forged the Paramals and tried to manipulate people through them.

Maybe.

Like the targets, they echo the voices of those who drank Paramals throughout the island.

Maybe he was looking for survivors.

But I was the only one who could react to them.

I attacked as soon as I encountered them.

I was not interested in their purpose or the other hidden information.

The sailboat they came on was burned.

Then I went back to the cellar under the café.

I also spent this day drinking paramals and vomiting.

* * *

[18th, 29th. 7: 30]

I thought about it once.

When I leave this island of Aoeo, I'll be left with nothing.

I won't leave until I'm alone.

It seems to have happened as expected.

Days of crying and drinking paramals and vomiting.

I didn't want to drink Paramal anymore.

I felt no remorse or guilt.

The emotion wasn't gone.

I just poured out my emotions and felt nothing, and I had no idea.

It was just empty.

No head, no chest.

When I was crying for a long time, I felt numb, devastated, and at the same time a little warm.

I didn't think of anything.

I was neither angry nor sad.

At this moment, I felt no emotion.

I don't know if this will continue, but I think it will be okay for a while.

It's time to leave.

First of all, it came out of the warehouse.

I could have gotten off the stage through the portal, but first I wanted to check on my condition.

I checked my body's senses from my fingertips.

No problem.

I... have no idea.

You'd better take good care of yourself for a while.

The status window was opened and a progress check was made.

Level up a few, skill level up quite well.

In the past, he would have liked profits.

When I think about it, I feel cool riding on my back, although my emotions were unlikely.

My forearms and cheeks gave me goosebumps.

Looks like they haven't emptied it completely yet.

I don't know how to empty them all.

I think I will continue to follow.

Confirmed the soul collecting skill obtained as a reward for clearing the 18th floor.

Only bad feelings about the ruler remain dark.

: The God of Death has given power to the challenger he cares about most recently after a long worry.

The cautious and swift God of Death already regrets his decision.

Just like all power skills, I don't know what they are.

It's a soul-collecting skill based on its name, but I can't figure out how to use it.

Ask Kirikiri to explain.

I looked out the window at the street.

There are hundreds of thousands of souls on this island right now.

I stopped trying to use it as a test.

I don't know the exact effect yet.

I didn't want to dig up the bleeding wound for a while because of my curiosity.

After finishing your thoughts, you stand on a portal that was one step away from you.

“Go.”

After closing your eyes for a moment, you open them up and move to the green field.

“I'm sorry!”

As soon as you head into the field, Kirikiri screams and flies away.

I bumped into her running head-to-head, and sat back down.

“What are you doing, Kirikiri? ”

Kirikiri frowns, hugging me tightly.

“Hehe, I couldn't do my job. ”

Couldn't work.

Oh, because you didn't give me any advice on the 18th floor?

Actually, it was because I rushed back to the waiting room.

I haven't heard much advice on stage raids in a while, and I've had a lot to worry about since I cleared the 17th floor.

It's not Kirikiri's fault, it's mine.

“No, it's my fault. I should have caught him and told him. ”

That's really nice.

A few days ago, I might have blamed her.

But now I feel no resentment or regret.

“Kirikiri, more importantly, I need an explanation of your soul collecting skills. ”

“Hehe, got it. ”

Kirikiri looks up and answers.

But I didn't let go of the arm that was holding me.

He also asked for advice on the next floor.

Kirikiri said there would be no great danger on the 18th floor.

He also told me about how to deal with colds and care tips.

Since I won't catch a cold anymore, I will meet someone on the 19th floor who has a cold.

I'm starting to get frustrated.

I got up from my seat and opened my base.

I was afraid that Kirikiri would fall if I woke up, but Kirikiri was clinging to me when I woke up.

Like Koala.

“Don't you want to fall off? ”

“I won't.”

“If you fall, I'll give you cake. ”

“Got it!”

Kirikiri falls like a knife.

I bought a piece of cake for Kirikiri.

“Hao Jae Ae, don't you eat? ”

“Yeah. I don't think I'll be able to eat sweets for a while. ”

I literally drank the paramals upstream.

I was bitten completely by the sweetness.

“Hehe, don't be so hard on yourself. It's not your fault. It's just a trial. ”

Kirikiri might have said something for me, but I didn't agree with her.

Anyway, thank you for worrying about me.

But I didn't get anything off the 18th floor.

I also know how to thank others honestly.

“No, you used to be honest and self-centered. ”

Suddenly, it's a compliment.

“It's very scary and awkward for other beings to be able to read their thoughts. But you didn't care about God or me looking into your thoughts. Because there's nothing to be ashamed of and be ashamed of. ”

Well, I don't think so.

I feel ashamed and want to hide it from others.

Still, it feels good to hear a compliment.

“Hao Jae Ae!”

Kirikiri suddenly screams.

Then I closed my eyes and started thinking about something.

After a long time, Kirikiri opened his eyes and spoke to me.

“Nice fingers. ”

I couldn't immediately understand Kirikiri's proud expression.

It wasn't until I realized what I thought earlier that I could understand her.

She's complimenting me for me.

You mean to tell me you have pretty fingers because you've been thinking about it for almost three minutes?

I was seriously thinking about taking the piece of cake.

“Ho, ho, Jae-anne! ”

Kirikiri shouts noticeably.

And I closed my eyes and thought hard as before.

I'm looking forward to it.

What kind of compliments do you want?

“What a funny name! ”

I'll take the cake, too.

* * *

Greetings to Kirikiri and into the waiting room.

After talking with her for a long time, the slightly excited atmosphere calmed down again.

I sat on the bed in the waiting room and thought,

I was numb.

I was worried that this might be a big problem later.

There was nothing bad about it right now.

On Aoeo Island, I really saw the bottom.

I cried like a madman and cast all kinds of horrors.

It is much better now than it continues.

It's convenient.

Maintaining a strong emotional state is a lot of hard work, both mentally and physically.

But it might be a problem someday.

I'm nervous.

I diagnosed my current state of mind

Like a third party.

At first glance, they appear to have been detached.

A state in which a person abandons all of his or her feelings and is deprived of his or her own feelings.

But I know it's not.

What should I say... ….

Yeah, I think he's anesthetized.

It's a mental anesthetic.

Like severe pain numbs the senses, like that.

On second thought, there doesn't seem to be any problem.

It's not the first time.

After just falling into the tutorial, every moment is a life-threatening horror and a number of people's deaths.

And as I continued to suffer the guilt of not being able to save them, I felt dull one day.

I treated myself sparingly.

It's like looking at an avatar in a game.

It's not far in the past.

Since entering the tutorial, and only recently.

Roughly... until we summon Edie from the 12th floor and get together.

I was starting to feel like I've been backing down too much lately.

Killing your emotions and objectively judging the situation can greatly help you survive and grow.

It's not bad.

It's just been released too long.

I organized it that way.

After finishing my worries, I had time to look around.

Even if I looked around, it wouldn't be much different.

The waiting room is the waiting room.

There's something else.

When I returned to the waiting room after the race, I felt extreme loneliness and loneliness.

I was distressed. I was sad.

Not now.

Nothing bad, either.

But there was still silence.

There is no movement in the field of view.

It was natural.

I'm the only one moving in this waiting room.

I hear nothing but breathing.

As I paused, I could only hear my pulse.

Head- Head-

The existence of really small pulse sounds like thunder.

I felt the pressure of the dark waiting room rushing towards me in response to the pulse.

I feel like the dark, empty waiting room is full of something.

It seemed to be immersed in silence.

There was nothing I could do to escape the silence.

I opened the inventory and took out the toilet.

Squeaking - Squeaking -

Even in the quiet waiting room, only the sound of flesh I didn't want to hear in my heart was void.
