Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1)

***

I killed the player.

He was one hell of a fucker.

3 years ago, I woke up as a game character,

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

As expected of a game, it had an enormous setting filled with all sorts of crises and events, including even the destruction of the entire world, but it was fine!

As a side character at that.

『Heroic Legends of Arhan』

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

There was nowhere to run, and it’s not like I could avoid things from happening by leaving this continent, so let’s watch the story unfold from the side~ was what I thought.

At least let’s have a look at the face of our dear protagonist, Park Sihu, who was now destined to have both wealth and fame but——

Because the protagonist would solve it all!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

Wait, you too?

“…Slow development… hate… fast plot… I’ll live for myself… efficiency……”

“…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

The difference between him and I was that Sihu was the protagonist, the player, and had access to the ‘status screen’, the privilege of the playable character. academy It was unfortunate that Sihu had never played this game before, but that was something I could handle.

As a previous player and a diehard fan of ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱, I knew the game story by heart and had gotten most of the hidden pieces.

Park Sihu was a ‘possessor’ like me.

Because I had played this game quite a lot.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

I had also seen most of the various endings and this informational advantage was an extremely significant merit.

What if instead of a ‘game over’ screen, it straight away led to my life being over?

In this world’s plot, countless people will die without the protagonist and the world will also fall to ruin. action If I perish alongside the end of this world, will I be able to return to Earth?

However, most of the items were unobtainable without the player’s status screen and the system, so Sihu just had to use the information I gave him to beat this game.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

The only unfortunate part, I guess, would be that we couldn’t get closer to any of the heroines of the game. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

With that doubt in mind, I helped Sihu with all my heart and strength. album The kinship of being from the same hometown, and both of us having fallen into a game from Earth, made us the bestest of friends.

The two of us made a good duo.

We soon realized that I was older than him back on Earth, so it felt like I had a younger brother who would call me ‘bro’ every time, so that wasn’t that bad either. amber And although my limit as a side character was obvious, a portion of the items we got using my knowledge was also given to me to supplement my lacking abilities.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

Of course, the girls would show interest in Park Sihu, the player, so I only wanted to watch from the side as a fan but…

By the time I realized it, the party was filled with male humans and our party ended up being a sweaty group of men, including Park Sihu and me.

Park Sihu – this guy did not interact with any of the heroines and only added them into the party only when they were necessary.

There were all sorts of male and female characters in this game, but the romance simulation of the playable character interacting with characters of the opposite gender was also an attractive element of the game.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

I should have noticed something was off.

When one of the main heroines, the granddaughter of the Sword Emperor, Alicia Arden, did not show up at the entrance ceremony;

“Fuck…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“What’s this?”

When the mysterious missing incidents caused the story to flow in a direction unbeknownst to me, instead of optimistically saying, ‘You’re doing great, Sihu!’ I should have taken a deeper look into it.

The mind and the personality of the human called Park Sihu, and the oddly unnatural flow of events… I should have doubted them.

When the final boss of the 1st arc, Marie, had gone missing;

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“Wait wait wait…”

If I recall correctly… it was the equipment used by the final boss girl of the 1st arc.

It was a familiar staff.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

Back then, I reprimanded myself for lacking the power to change the original plot but… why was this here?

A gear of the character who should have been the boss of the 1st arc according to the original plot. action Sihu and I had waited for a long time to stop the tragedy, but in the end, could not stop it from happening.

That wasn’t the end. attic This secretive underground basement not only had the staff but also countless other items put on display like trophies.

Why was this here?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

The spellbook of Lark, who got expelled after stealing the mid-sem test papers.

The mace of the typical bully character, Jaeger, who picked a fight with the player at the start of the semester.

Don’t tell me…

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

I realised something common.

Jaeger went missing in a prac after picking a fight with Park Sihu at the start of the semester, whereas Lark was expelled after trying to put the blame on Park Sihu, who excelled in everything he did, out of jealousy.

Besides, every other item also belonged to those that were related to Park Sihu in some shape or form and most importantly…

These were all items of the ones who had gone ‘missing’. wizard And they were items that belonged to those that… were somehow related to Park Sihu.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

It was one of the houses that the player could buy in the game, that could be used to store items as an extra storage…

I could not have imagined that tailing him who suddenly woke up at night would lead to such a result, but there was something else that shocked me the most.

This building was Park Sihu’s private property.

“W, why is this here?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

It gave me goosebumps.

“……Ah.”

There was only one way to obtain this hidden piece in the game – and that was to cause the death event of Alicia Arden in whatever method possible. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

A unique single-edged sword was on display like a trophy. acid The demon-slaying sword that belonged… to the granddaughter of the Sword Emperor, Alicia Arden, an important heroine, who died before the entrance ceremony.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“…!”

“Ah, fuck.”

The biggest premise thus far shattered – the premise that Park Sihu had never played this game before.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“S, Sihu…!”

That voice belonged to someone else.

“…Why are you here bro?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“You…”

I wanted to ask for an explanation questioning what all of this was about, but I could not bring myself to open my mouth in fear of what I would hear in response…

The owner of this horrendous scene, Sihu, was oddly calm. album He only appeared slightly annoyed by this whole thing.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

I pointed at the water-coloured girl that was on ‘display’ in a horrifying state. echo Unlike the sword of Alicia Arden that was stored like a trophy, she… Marie Dunareff was…

How could I possibly calm down in a situation like this? artist How can I be calm in the face of something this horrible?

“Calm down my ass!!”

“Bro, calm down.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“It’s a demon anyway. arena You know? echo It’s an enemy. meadow And I was just using that as efficiently as possible.”

Understanding my point, Sihu tried to persuade me and justify himself.

“You… You… You lied to me when you said you couldn’t catch her back then…!”

“…Using?”

He smiled and blabbered as if bragging about his achievement.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“She even sucked her own friend. echo And yet she was hiding in the forest crying by herself. adjust Do you know how hard it was? portal Who knew that stubborn bitch would dig a hole in the forest and stay there for a whole month?”

“…She’s a high-vampire. zenith A one-year old that just awakened is at the same level as an elder. meadow Don’t you know what happens when you refine a vampire elder’s blood? alert You had it a lot too, bro.”

“But ‘using’? orbit What do you mean by using!?”

– Shouldn’t she pay for her sins at least?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ayish… Bro, are you okay? adapt Wait a sec. abstract Let me clean this up.”

“U, uweeekk!!”

His words suddenly made me remember the potions he gave me. armor Those potions, incomparable to common potions, that rivalled low-grade elixirs—

Despite babbling about such awful and horrifying deeds, his attitude towards me remained the same and that was the most horrifying of all.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“If I do as you tell me, bro, it’s too slow. athlete We have to suffer losses trying to save people and can’t even kill retards like Jaeger and Lark.”

“The story?”

“Of course it’s to progress the story as efficiently as possible.”

“But wh, why would you…”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“It’s the same for the other bitches. autumn They’re useless unless you build rapport with them, you can’t take their items and they just party up by themselves. august This is the most efficient way to make use of them.”

As for Lark? audit He tried to blame Park Sihu, but all he did was steal test papers. aluminum Of course, Park Sihu might have been expelled if things went south but even then…

“You… How many have you…”

All Jaeger did was pick a fight. armor He was just a random bully that was blinded by his own power.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“You fucking animal!”

“Who knows? silence I don’t think the kill log was over 100k… Ah, three more and I’ll hit 100k.”

His eyes went to the corner in response to my words. accent He opened the player’s system window and replied nonchalantly with a smile.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“You, you…! atlas How could you do that to people…!”

“Bro, wake up. afford How are these guys people? atlas They’re NPCs. canvas They’re game characters.”

I grabbed him by the collar. crystal I could no longer listen to the words of an animal.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“You…!”

“Those were guys that tried to destroy the world!”

“And haven’t you been killing people as well? action There’s nothing new here.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

It was true that ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱ was a game, and the game had NPCs in it. artist However, are people in this world also NPCs? atom Can they be killed just because they are game characters?

The people I killed were evil ones that were beyond saving. zenith Main enemies of the story – characters that were designated by the plot as villains.

How was Park Sihu any different from them? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. beacon This guy did not view people as people.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“Trust me. august I’m telling you my way is the most efficient gameplay. timber I’m a veteran player at this game.”

Fuck that.

What makes you say that for sure? anxiety Who says this is a game or a reality? zenith How can you be so certain?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

I couldn’t trust you before.

Sorry for not telling you, bro,

That was what he said.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

Even when the school building collapsed,

He had monopolized all the hidden pieces that belonged to the heroines and profited as much as possible from the events.

It was so dumbfounding that I couldn’t say anything. adjust Park Sihu was so sure of himself, and in a way, he wasn’t wrong. apron He had the status screen and could make use of the system however he wanted. aspect If he had an informational advantage on top of that, like me, of course he would have used that as efficiently as possible.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

Even when a Unique Grade monster attacked the school,

Even when the terrorists came to attack,

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

Although it was a world within a game, Park Sihu stood firmly as a hero just like the intended story.

This guy profited in whatever method possible. arena He excessively monopolized everything.

He probably had indeed been ‘playing this game’ as efficiently as possible. canvas Over the 3 years I had spent following him, he had indeed solved many cases and problems with ease, including cases that I could not solve due to the limitations of a side character.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

However, the Park Sihu in front of my eyes was no hero.

Hundred thousand… I reflected on the events that had been oddly ‘efficient’ among the countless incidents and the ‘victims’ that I had overlooked. arctic There must also be countless massacres that happened outside of my sight.

He was a devil. arcade He had a psychotic gaze that I had never even seen from any of the past villains.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

Ah I see… so this guy had never considered this world a reality.

All the people were only programmed organisms in his eyes.

I realized that all the events which made me think the real world would naturally be different from a game plot were all affected by him.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

This world that I had accepted and adapted to for 3 years was nothing but a virtual world to him.

“Efficiency? adopt Plot? palette Bullshit. echo If you really loved efficiency, why would you take Alicia Arden’s demon-slaying sword? audit Why would you take a hidden piece that’s for knights with your mage build!”

“You… just chose the easy way out.”

“What?” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“Fuck! auction No wonder. aspect It’s because her sister Lunia Arden was so stubbornly chasing after the sword that you couldn’t take it out! acquire You fucking retard. matrix Of course you can’t handle it all because you try to monopolize things that you can’t even swallow!”

“That’s…”

Was I really hailing this guy as a hero? ability This fucking idiot?

Stupid and sloppy idiot! amber Selfish and greedy little pig!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“Efficiency? riddle Don’t fuck with me. amber You just needed a sandbag to quench your psychotic thirst. atlas What kind of bitch that loves efficiency exhibits such psychotic proof in a place like this!!?”

“Elixir? galaxy You fucker. canvas You could have substituted that with other ingredients using your crafting window anytime!”

All he had to do was tap the screen a few times so what was the point of this horrendous farm? agent Why was he doing such an inefficient thing?

“Ah damn it. arrow For fuck’s sake!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“What… ugh!”

“You’re really driving me crazy bro. aluminum You’re driving me insane!”

Park Sihu struck my face with a seriously irritated look on his face, that was vastly different from his previous persuasive attitude.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“Huh, huh…?”

“You can’t do this to me bro. anxiety Even if everyone in the world talks shit to me, you can’t do this to me!”

He grabbed onto my hair and pulled it back.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

Oi, what’s wrong with your sentence? arch Be careful with your choice of words!

“S, Sihu?”

“Do you not know why I’m like this, bro? timber Do you really have no idea how you’re driving me crazy!?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’m… not gonna hold back anymore.”

“You put your nose into other’s business as a weak-ass and get bashed up. abstract And smirk in front of those sluts…”

He glared at me with passion that I had never seen before. abandon It was an extremely burdensome gaze.

It was then. armor He suddenly pushed his head forward as if doing a headbutt on my face.

“Ehng?”

“Hikk?!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“Uhh, oi dude. academy What’s wrong with you all of a sudden? alpha Huh? ability You weren’t like this before. athlete You and I were going through the story till like Episode 199. acid What’s with this sudden drift in Episode 200?!”

“You are mine bro. adopt Both your body, and heart. acid Do you think I’ll let those foxes steal you from me?”

I instinctively dodged that disgusting mouth. accent I managed to protect my chastity by turning my head, but I could not escape from his burning gaze.

“I see… so you had no plans of accepting me huh?”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“D, don’t tell me the party is full of men because…”

It gave me goosebumps in a different sense than before. auction To the point that I needed the physical treatment of mother Russia.

“F, fuck! abandon I haven’t even dated anyone before, so what’s this shit about!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

I desperately tried to escape, but something suddenly popped out of my shadow and grabbed onto my ankle and made me fall flat on the ground. arctic It was his spell.

“They’re just there for looks and they’re not the real one. agent My only real one… is you bro.”

“Uaakk…!”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

– Hiiiiik…

It was terrifying. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“Bro, you… can’t run away. matrix I will lock you up. academy Forever.”

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

By seeing the victims like Marie, Lark and Jaeger, it was not difficult to predict my future.

What’s going to happen to me now?

It wasn’t even this terrifying when I first discovered this place, nor was it this horrifying even when he confessed he was a psychotic lover of fast plot development.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

“You! acid You…! alpha What about my consent! aspect You fucker, what about my consent?! abstract I’m a heterosexual! galaxy An unwavering heterosexual!”

Being alive not in the true sense of the word, and a repetition of pain and curation.

“Your consent is not important bro. alien You are mine. altitude My only real one in this fake world.”

In response to my words, Park Sihu grinned and replied with a butter-like voice.

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

The shadow spread its mouth wide open. abstract Right as I was about to lose my consciousness from his spell, I saw him float a crooked smile.

“You’re fucking giving me goosebumps! riddle You crazy fucker!”

“It’s all almost over now. aspect After this fight is over, I will have you for myself, bro.”

– Chaaakk!

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

Ahh, so it has begun.

That was the end of my consciousness. silence I only woke up later thanks to a certain voice that reached my ears.

“Have me?! riddle Have me for what you bastard!”

『The Last Stage has been opened. abstract The final fight with the Last Boss will now begin.』

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

It seemed that Park Sihu had started the decisive battle with the Last Boss while I was unconscious.

I could easily imagine the horrifying future waiting ahead of me.

『The Player has been killed. timber You have failed the attempt.』

Since he loved monopolizing everything for himself, he would probably win against the Last Boss as well… If he really does defeat the final boss… what would happen to me then?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

****

With that, I finished looking back on my past life.

………This fucker lost?

Translation of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) by Indra Translations.

I must kill the player.

I returned to the past; to 3 years ago.

And I must kill him.
