Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1)
ZLYVI killed the player.O2Qq6YF
SKVOkdVHe was one hell of a fucker.U37k
zGynWo0***Xhh
M6kc3 years ago, I woke up as a game character,Xu2CWuY
jPpfG7sAs a side character at that.yv1B
O8VX『Heroic Legends of Arhan』gaSP1
fy9gscBAs 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!7peWU
L3dLkF7Because the protagonist would solve it all!UotNm
oWLsOVaThere 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.HpynA
0CNBAt 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——iWRrLO
xvyKmh“…Slow development… hate… fast plot… I’ll live for myself… efficiency……”NqR
zj9xEr“…”LhkI2qK
v6Y72JWait, you too?hDeJtu9
P6V1N****MRTp
YNqtRPark Sihu was a ‘possessor’ like me.BotukNq
0SJF0The 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. It was unfortunate that Sihu had never played this game before, but that was something I could handle.gqQj
uZm6g6Because I had played this game quite a lot.NrA
kNsAs 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.zES3He9
UidJh5WI had also seen most of the various endings and this informational advantage was an extremely significant merit.Ciwo
AsNHowever, 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.OeG
VdJyV2bIn this world’s plot, countless people will die without the protagonist and the world will also fall to ruin. If I perish alongside the end of this world, will I be able to return to Earth?zxQPk1
JoCyBxWhat if instead of a ‘game over’ screen, it straight away led to my life being over?lcTV
xemCWith that doubt in mind, I helped Sihu with all my heart and strength. 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.qFL
GpVnJq4We 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. 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.qCROrE
aznU0iThe two of us made a good duo.a5ZFMU
XI4YdThe only unfortunate part, I guess, would be that we couldn’t get closer to any of the heroines of the game.SpkR
owrBjThere 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.g3KnjTP
OVZnv2ZOf course, the girls would show interest in Park Sihu, the player, so I only wanted to watch from the side as a fan but…YuMvng
xf4ZPark Sihu – this guy did not interact with any of the heroines and only added them into the party only when they were necessary.GCjeEy
PXojuYBy 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.PAIqjY
rEVxFk“Fuck…”9C2Z29
jMlI should have noticed something was off.zRK
W7p99When one of the main heroines, the granddaughter of the Sword Emperor, Alicia Arden, did not show up at the entrance ceremony;boFil
BGG7When the final boss of the 1st arc, Marie, had gone missing;27F
2RSQWhen 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.1b80E0b
7saThe mind and the personality of the human called Park Sihu, and the oddly unnatural flow of events… I should have doubted them.EPWQAU7
qR9rJ“What’s this?”XsX
VqFcIt was a familiar staff.n2o
Y7kOIf I recall correctly… it was the equipment used by the final boss girl of the 1st arc.ayX4
MCU“Wait wait wait…”V4VDUw
1qxKyXvWhy was this here?qBx
Ox1rbdA gear of the character who should have been the boss of the 1st arc according to the original plot. Sihu and I had waited for a long time to stop the tragedy, but in the end, could not stop it from happening.n50pG3u
v88jYWBack then, I reprimanded myself for lacking the power to change the original plot but… why was this here?0aDLLH
JwuxQU0That wasn’t the end. This secretive underground basement not only had the staff but also countless other items put on display like trophies.VNi
Yc74QThe mace of the typical bully character, Jaeger, who picked a fight with the player at the start of the semester.bgl
W7ZGEThe spellbook of Lark, who got expelled after stealing the mid-sem test papers.iAtl
aCxt2jXDon’t tell me…j0l
8JwI realised something common.ah5fY
XYVxVThese were all items of the ones who had gone ‘missing’. And they were items that belonged to those that… were somehow related to Park Sihu.yXA
BtfJaeger 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.J9r
giPoFBesides, every other item also belonged to those that were related to Park Sihu in some shape or form and most importantly…0xWz
IaUThis building was Park Sihu’s private property.43WR
2nzoyFIt was one of the houses that the player could buy in the game, that could be used to store items as an extra storage…PzUI
mPmfI 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.I515q
13DC“W, why is this here?”laOF0
4JUSeDsA unique single-edged sword was on display like a trophy. The demon-slaying sword that belonged… to the granddaughter of the Sword Emperor, Alicia Arden, an important heroine, who died before the entrance ceremony.X5ZnK
m3eAbThere 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.Z8BBpN
VQFaH8“……Ah.”9m6W
HkjhDIt gave me goosebumps.ELRZar
C3PVQnThe biggest premise thus far shattered – the premise that Park Sihu had never played this game before.WKzoyP
252OsLk“Ah, fuck.”0hOMgM
SQslvG“…!”9BOReQ
P4VFw0That voice belonged to someone else.fZPd
0Cdp“S, Sihu…!”acVr
YD7A3I“…Why are you here bro?”ZKCxMp
MtzThe owner of this horrendous scene, Sihu, was oddly calm. He only appeared slightly annoyed by this whole thing.E4rtu4
c97AZ“You…”W0aU
ur1I 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…u71B
Wa6vptn“Bro, calm down.”ZPtZin
KIT“Calm down my ass!!”4oOqRX5
oXduK2How could I possibly calm down in a situation like this? How can I be calm in the face of something this horrible?ebG
WeQ7MVI pointed at the water-coloured girl that was on ‘display’ in a horrifying state. Unlike the sword of Alicia Arden that was stored like a trophy, she… Marie Dunareff was…Go79t4
m1oifSx“You… You… You lied to me when you said you couldn’t catch her back then…!”ewspD
qSUZGUnderstanding my point, Sihu tried to persuade me and justify himself.rDEv
jn0rwVU“It’s a demon anyway. You know? It’s an enemy. And I was just using that as efficiently as possible.”MxxIJ0
wuA“…Using?”gnwu
38sHe smiled and blabbered as if bragging about his achievement.wU1wr
Nuzdrv2“She even sucked her own friend. And yet she was hiding in the forest crying by herself. Do you know how hard it was? Who knew that stubborn bitch would dig a hole in the forest and stay there for a whole month?”ihDTBD
aPu0– Shouldn’t she pay for her sins at least?Aly
Yov“But ‘using’? What do you mean by using!?”eu10h20
dZeJ“…She’s a high-vampire. A one-year old that just awakened is at the same level as an elder. Don’t you know what happens when you refine a vampire elder’s blood? You had it a lot too, bro.”7YmsE4
HjrHis words suddenly made me remember the potions he gave me. Those potions, incomparable to common potions, that rivalled low-grade elixirs—yiHQEC
sAz“U, uweeekk!!”dYlaEM2
K8pNUcx“Ayish… Bro, are you okay? Wait a sec. Let me clean this up.”dJLjt
qzutboCDespite babbling about such awful and horrifying deeds, his attitude towards me remained the same and that was the most horrifying of all.c9wf
95ewa8P“But wh, why would you…”DVK4zt
ILlhY“Of course it’s to progress the story as efficiently as possible.”80BWf
EujH4J“The story?”4rF
EK9eM0“If I do as you tell me, bro, it’s too slow. We have to suffer losses trying to save people and can’t even kill retards like Jaeger and Lark.”2KOf7
OIwAll Jaeger did was pick a fight. He was just a random bully that was blinded by his own power.7eznq
1SGE2rJAs for Lark? He tried to blame Park Sihu, but all he did was steal test papers. Of course, Park Sihu might have been expelled if things went south but even then…tESv6r9
BYwvmQ“It’s the same for the other bitches. They’re useless unless you build rapport with them, you can’t take their items and they just party up by themselves. This is the most efficient way to make use of them.”mE5
vrdiWDw“You… How many have you…”pc0iE
s2CpOHis eyes went to the corner in response to my words. He opened the player’s system window and replied nonchalantly with a smile.rFZh
WDUvY“Who knows? I don’t think the kill log was over 100k… Ah, three more and I’ll hit 100k.”Lvt8Y
11Im“You fucking animal!”jy2Byg
dCTxkI grabbed him by the collar. I could no longer listen to the words of an animal.cp37
lVlpOFO“You, you…! How could you do that to people…!”pEDWaj
lx8S5iT“Bro, wake up. How are these guys people? They’re NPCs. They’re game characters.”vMQDF6
rlYe1z“You…!”CMYHag
WFzD2“And haven’t you been killing people as well? There’s nothing new here.”4t9XV
zsUf“Those were guys that tried to destroy the world!”thFnlH
fytyBapThe people I killed were evil ones that were beyond saving. Main enemies of the story – characters that were designated by the plot as villains.aSBmISC
9U1qHow was Park Sihu any different from them? This guy did not view people as people.Emn
RRSTIt was true that ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱ was a game, and the game had NPCs in it. However, are people in this world also NPCs? Can they be killed just because they are game characters?bH6J92H
dXx92mWhat makes you say that for sure? Who says this is a game or a reality? How can you be so certain?B2osQy
ouhiFuck that.ldX
ReAjQ7p“Trust me. I’m telling you my way is the most efficient gameplay. I’m a veteran player at this game.”82tq
uzow1Sorry for not telling you, bro,fO3n6g2
Bhxa9knI couldn’t trust you before.FFy
vuBjtThat was what he said.E5Xp1P
YxqbA28It was so dumbfounding that I couldn’t say anything. Park Sihu was so sure of himself, and in a way, he wasn’t wrong. He had the status screen and could make use of the system however he wanted. If he had an informational advantage on top of that, like me, of course he would have used that as efficiently as possible.nh9bCs
rGlvmTHe had monopolized all the hidden pieces that belonged to the heroines and profited as much as possible from the events.uBOyHzI
W88zP8Even when the school building collapsed,QhNp
JXTvyHEven when the terrorists came to attack,aBfQvnO
Hr5TFYLEven when a Unique Grade monster attacked the school,XGJ4
Y3aFA2PThis guy profited in whatever method possible. He excessively monopolized everything.FewVzDX
SJMHe probably had indeed been ‘playing this game’ as efficiently as possible. 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.VdpMLd
qxcAlthough it was a world within a game, Park Sihu stood firmly as a hero just like the intended story.gSH
Hes3XqnHowever, the Park Sihu in front of my eyes was no hero.bJQ8
kbtbHe was a devil. He had a psychotic gaze that I had never even seen from any of the past villains.mIe7
y4tn95CHundred thousand… I reflected on the events that had been oddly ‘efficient’ among the countless incidents and the ‘victims’ that I had overlooked. There must also be countless massacres that happened outside of my sight.6Xg6E1O
AB8sI 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.vsdhnd
b8LAh I see… so this guy had never considered this world a reality.HYcrmaH
TBJD21aAll the people were only programmed organisms in his eyes.awzyZPM
eNZThis world that I had accepted and adapted to for 3 years was nothing but a virtual world to him.FsukSX
FqLPl“You… just chose the easy way out.”QTUj8ht
xaVt“What?”e0v6
lns7o“Efficiency? Plot? Bullshit. If you really loved efficiency, why would you take Alicia Arden’s demon-slaying sword? Why would you take a hidden piece that’s for knights with your mage build!”6DUAZ
tDOWoN“That’s…”IkvIm5
Iq6Y“Fuck! No wonder. It’s because her sister Lunia Arden was so stubbornly chasing after the sword that you couldn’t take it out! You fucking retard. Of course you can’t handle it all because you try to monopolize things that you can’t even swallow!”ff7
I9pStupid and sloppy idiot! Selfish and greedy little pig!H9d0JE
NybDOWas I really hailing this guy as a hero? This fucking idiot?mc9ey
YJKh“Elixir? You fucker. You could have substituted that with other ingredients using your crafting window anytime!”Tsh7s
LGZwe7NAll he had to do was tap the screen a few times so what was the point of this horrendous farm? Why was he doing such an inefficient thing?zqNbd
dw0YeC“Efficiency? Don’t fuck with me. You just needed a sandbag to quench your psychotic thirst. What kind of bitch that loves efficiency exhibits such psychotic proof in a place like this!!?”36aX5
CKsdLq4“Ah damn it. For fuck’s sake!”0silEp
PVaXPark Sihu struck my face with a seriously irritated look on his face, that was vastly different from his previous persuasive attitude.703o5
GOs“You’re really driving me crazy bro. You’re driving me insane!”eoG
SHrey“What… ugh!”sniBoOZ
pDORCsHe grabbed onto my hair and pulled it back.ZiRVLU3
JDw“You can’t do this to me bro. Even if everyone in the world talks shit to me, you can’t do this to me!”tkV
wJ7“Huh, huh…?”LvEN
NOlNFhpOi, what’s wrong with your sentence? Be careful with your choice of words!Hmlh
uTTUs“Do you not know why I’m like this, bro? Do you really have no idea how you’re driving me crazy!?”osK0Ht
aJVNxPe“S, Sihu?”SoB
bwJC“You put your nose into other’s business as a weak-ass and get bashed up. And smirk in front of those sluts…”8WmS
2qt0FHe glared at me with passion that I had never seen before. It was an extremely burdensome gaze.wFV8mLM
rYv“I’m… not gonna hold back anymore.”55DR
weBDRs“Ehng?”7y6c9
rq2Fr9It was then. He suddenly pushed his head forward as if doing a headbutt on my face.dP7egtJ
v3EoG5“Hikk?!”TMrE
i2LCROuI instinctively dodged that disgusting mouth. I managed to protect my chastity by turning my head, but I could not escape from his burning gaze.8MxKfWc
TXuax5“I see… so you had no plans of accepting me huh?”64X8
bFH0kT“Uhh, oi dude. What’s wrong with you all of a sudden? Huh? You weren’t like this before. You and I were going through the story till like Episode 199. What’s with this sudden drift in Episode 200?!”leBTFW1
akp83“You are mine bro. Both your body, and heart. Do you think I’ll let those foxes steal you from me?”vu45
q92bDQK“F, fuck! I haven’t even dated anyone before, so what’s this shit about!”nYzSPTH
xEmbIt gave me goosebumps in a different sense than before. To the point that I needed the physical treatment of mother Russia.pXdPK7
HdRV3ey“D, don’t tell me the party is full of men because…”8im
JQZ4Qh“They’re just there for looks and they’re not the real one. My only real one… is you bro.”SDC
RyZa“Uaakk…!”iTzel
yV6I 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. It was his spell.NGgi9
rbM5LXy“Bro, you… can’t run away. I will lock you up. Forever.”PiR
rSAp4Ci– Hiiiiik…h0i
dhAgIt was terrifying.7vw7
FuHCynXIt 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.4sKHu8N
x959uWhat’s going to happen to me now?2zjBK0j
vwd8By seeing the victims like Marie, Lark and Jaeger, it was not difficult to predict my future.u6Skn0
JxOooxxBeing alive not in the true sense of the word, and a repetition of pain and curation.EVJ5tt
vyqfUq“You! You…! What about my consent! You fucker, what about my consent?! I’m a heterosexual! An unwavering heterosexual!”czzM
UKNq4umIn response to my words, Park Sihu grinned and replied with a butter-like voice.GxB
3GKg“Your consent is not important bro. You are mine. My only real one in this fake world.”pid2f
aZ4“You’re fucking giving me goosebumps! You crazy fucker!”LzSvz
5rF6– Chaaakk!zSjs5O
GkpThe shadow spread its mouth wide open. Right as I was about to lose my consciousness from his spell, I saw him float a crooked smile.3tridP6
8hqcpXT“It’s all almost over now. After this fight is over, I will have you for myself, bro.”OdMO2
dOzkDW“Have me?! Have me for what you bastard!”W9LJeIN
ww6PThat was the end of my consciousness. I only woke up later thanks to a certain voice that reached my ears.Gpy1Q
lC4MKI『The Last Stage has been opened. The final fight with the Last Boss will now begin.』uKFkx
Q5ucAhh, so it has begun.6aZsAS
AJHMxJIt seemed that Park Sihu had started the decisive battle with the Last Boss while I was unconscious.Sed
w0GSince 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?CRGvu3t
F3xZI could easily imagine the horrifying future waiting ahead of me.ImI2AB
KDAO『The Player has been killed. You have failed the attempt.』eV4
BHpq6S………This fucker lost?dgKn2
EqiNno****pfb
ZVB3With that, I finished looking back on my past life.vqn6M
FBItZzqI returned to the past; to 3 years ago.jth
rTSoAnd I must kill him.37mlQ
ojaJm6I must kill the player.qDv
