An Alchemist Who Builds Shelters in the Apocalypse



Monster Apocalypse

“Sir Kang-Jun Seo, it seems that rehabilitation training will be meaningless.”

I couldn’t react to the doctor’s thunderous words.

My age is twenty-seven this year. Not long ago, he was a promising national triathlon (triathlon) player.

‘I’m unemployed now.’

A ligament rupture caused by a car accident was fatal in triathlon, where the winner was decided in just a few seconds, and he had no choice but to retire.

After losing my brother and parents in a fire, the only thing left for me was exercise, so I didn’t give up and trained hard for two years, but in the end I had a limp in my left leg.

Feeling hopeless that my legs could not recover, I was enduring day by day suffering from extreme depression.

Then one day.

I checked my mail as usual, and there was an interesting ad.

The Monster Apocalypse Closed Beta service was conducted for three days worldwide, and the rewards given according to the ranking were as follows.

100th, 5 million won.

…

6th to 10th place 100 million won.

1-5 Tears of God.

Money was earned, and the legacy inherited from my parents was quite small, so I couldn’t see it, but when I saw the explanation of ‘Tears of God’, I couldn’t help but be stunned.

＜The moment you drink it, all diseases are healed and the body’s performance is improved.＞

Of course, that was nonsense.

But I was desperate enough to believe even this nonsense.

‘It only needs to be in the top 5.’

When I lost all my family, I had a good chance of finishing in the top 5 because I used gaming as a refuge for close to half a year.

There are only three things that are important to become a ranked player in the game: starting point, information, and finally time investment.

‘Anything is possible.’

It was judged that there was a sufficient possibility, so I made a plan and moved to the mart to buy the necessary items.

First of all, I packed simple food to eat for 3 days, bought high-caffeine drinks, coffee, and ionic drinks to avoid sleeping for 72 hours and returned home.

Someone did.

During a raid in a certain game, he used to play games with newspapers in his room because he didn’t have time to go to the bathroom.

If necessary, I would too, but there is a bathroom right next to the computer room, so there is no need to do that.

…

…

One hour before club start.

I woke up to the pre-set alarm sound and connected to the game in preparation for an unexpected update.

‘Fortunately there is no additional patch.’

I took a shower for the rest of the day, then ate and waited.

Clube started exactly at midnight.

When I logged in, the number of concurrent users was less than 100 despite the huge rewards.

I don’t know why, but I’m glad I did. If there are few competitors, the chances of being in the top 5 will increase.

That’s how I was able to win first place thanks to my unique desire to win and playing the game without sleeping for 72 hours.

And after the club ended, I slept for 18 hours… no i fainted

***

A few days after the club ended.

Ding dong!

When I went outside at the sound of the doorbell, no one was there and there was a small box with MA written on it.

When I went inside and opened the box, there was a very small bottle inside.

The bottle was about 10ml in size and contained an unknown liquid with a blue aura inside.

‘Are these the tears of God?’

Will eating really heal all diseases and improve body functions?

I opened the lid and smelled it.

There was no smell.

‘Could it be poison?’

I thought of this, but without hesitation I gulped down the liquid. It was possible because there was no reason to kill me in a game company that didn’t even know me, and I didn’t have much regret for life.

“Ah!”

As the liquid ran down his throat, he lost consciousness with excruciating pain.

…

…

When I came to my senses, the sun had set and I felt extreme thirst.

I opened the refrigerator and took out bottled water.

Gulp!

The moment I finished drinking 500ml of bottled water, I got goosebumps all over my body. The reason was because he realized that he had come to the refrigerator without crutches.

I put strength on my left foot, which had torn ligaments, and moved it forward.

‘There is no pain.’

It really healed my legs.

‘Maybe I’m dreaming?’

It wasn’t a dream, seeing as the tingling sensation spread through her skin when she pinched her cheek.

I hurriedly accessed the website of Monster Apocalypse and checked the ranking board.

1st place iron man. KR

2nd Bonjour FRA

3rd place Changcheng/长城 CHN

4th C. Eastwood USA

5th place Sugo-i JPN

I was the only Korean, and the bulletin board was overflowing with words of thanks for the prize money.

‘There is no text about God’s Tears.’

I waited for the post of the person who obtained the god’s tears to come up, but that didn’t happen.

A month later, a game company started a huge advertisement.

“In 666 days the earth will perish. But there is a chance of survival.”

In the video, a tall man wearing a crow mask said.

“Start the monster apocalypse right now. Depending on the honor you have acquired until the last day, we will provide you with the supplies and superpowers you need to survive.”

The reaction of people who saw the advertisement for the game, Monster Apocalypse, or MA for short was enthusiastic.

“Give me superpowers? are you god It’s bullsh*t.”

“It’s ridiculous to say that corona will lead to a zombie apocalypse.”

“666? Are you Satan?”

“I am the first to receive psychic powers and certify them.”

“Don’t regret after 666 days.”

People’s reactions varied. However, users who have encountered the game cheered.

The reason was simple.

“I almost got tired of seeing the monster visuals.”

“Is the zombie sound real? I will fly right next to you.”

“Is this a true story for free?”

“Is it easy to collect collections?”

Overwhelming graphics.

magnificent sound.

And a huge number of summons.

Lastly, what people cheered the most was the lottery system that allows you to draw 10 times a day for free.

Of course, it’s not completely free, and through the collection effect, 5 times a day, 5 times by collecting coins that come out when you catch monsters.

This level is almost free.

In the drawing game, the main income is drawing. Of course, billing is geared towards drawing, and you have to spend cash to draw more than others.

But not in Monster Apocalypse. 10 times if you spend money, 10 times if you don’t. Of course, there was also a system for billers.

Weapon enhancement package.

starter package.

Optional rebalanced packages and more.

Not only billers but also non-billing users liked the cash item. It was because I was able to buy enough by selling summons that came out of the lottery.

The game was simple and fun. People all over the world naturally fell in love with MA.

So did I.

‘Of course, the reason was different from them.’

Because I saw the effect of God’s Tears myself and believed their words that the earth would perish in 666 days.

I was thinking about how to reveal the information because it was too great a fact for only me to know.

A French man with the ID ‘Bonjour’, who placed second in the closed beta, revealed information about God’s Tears through View Tube.

-I was a soldier who was judged paraplegic five years ago. However, after drinking a potion called ‘God’s Tears’ sent by Monster Apocalypse, he was able to walk as you can see.

The length of the video is 10 minutes.

Videos of the time when he was paralyzed from the lower half of his body and the current state of walking, followed by testimonies from acquaintances around him.

The number of views of the video quickly exceeded 1 billion and became a global issue.

Of course, the popularity of MA also exploded, giving off 30 million concurrent users.

Thanks to ‘Bonjour’, my worries disappeared, and as time passed, my life in MA became more important than my desire for exercise, which was everything in my life.

It was based on the judgment that only by doing so could they survive the end.

That said, I didn’t just play games like crazy, I exercised for at least 2 hours a day and slept for about 4 hours.

I thought my body would be broken if I lived like this, but after taking ‘Tears of God’, my body got better as time went by because all the fatigue in my body was relieved after only 4 hours of sleep.

A year passed just like that.

[Your mail has arrived.]

-1st place reward will be given.

[10,000 Darks will be paid.]

“10,000 dark?”

I looked at the mail for a while to see if it was real. Dark is an abbreviation for Dark Matter, which means cash.

It was 100,000 won per dark, so it was roughly 1 billion won in cash.

‘This is like a club reward, but it seems to be openly asking for first place…’

I paid quite a bit, but I was no match for rich Arabs. Even so, there is only one reason why I was able to reach #1 worldwide.

It was because of the first place achievement in Club Ve.

*1st Place Achievement in Closed Beta.

– Number of draws per day +10.

– 100% increase in chance of advanced appearance.

– Increased chance of rare appearance by 30%.

– Increases hero appearance rate by 10%.

This alone was amazing, but giving 10,000 more darks to it… It’s a really rewarding game.

I accessed the website of Monster Apocalypse and read the notice.

On the first anniversary of its launch, a large-scale update caused a lot of system changes, and if you look at the big stems, it was like this.

1. Deleted free lottery.

2. Consumes 1 Dark per draw.

3. The number of draws is limited to 5 times a day.

4. Strengthen monster attack power.

‘I’ll fold it a lot.’

As expected, the comments on the update notice were plastered with various abusive language and malicious comments.

– Wow, this is the first time I’ve ever had such a bottle

-C8 100,000 won in cash for one draw is a joke?

-I knew it would be like this someday. To be honest, it doesn’t make sense that the draw is free in a draw game.

-Game companies are now about to close their doors. Everyone stop.

Looking at the huge number of malicious comments, it seemed that most of the users would quit, but in reality it was not. Because it only decreased by 30 to 10 million.

The reason was simple.

It was because it was good enough, except for the people who sold the summoned beasts to eat rice. Time passed again.

‘Finally tomorrow.’

It is the last day of the open beta and the day when the final invasion begins, two days before the apocalypse as advertised.

While I was checking my personal base for the final battle, 4 dead people approached the wall.

-Extreme Concept Chung: Open Sesame!

Fool, here we go again.

-Once-time iron man: Nyu-sio!

-Extreme Concept Chung: Yes, man! Can’t you just see it!

-Once upon a time iron man: Soin’s eyes are not good. Please reveal your identity.

-Extreme Concept Chung: Ahem, if I were to say it myself, it would be Muhyul, the best swordsman in Joseon!

you’re f*cking

Not in black, but only shooting guns.

-Once upon a time: I will open the castle gate.

I sighed and opened the gate, and the concept chung jumped up to the wall.

‘ah. Should I really kill that bastard?’

-Extreme Concept Chung: If you are a swordsman, it is basic to walk in the air.

Following the concept, the remaining three deceased people also climbed up the wall while walking (?) in the air.

Ugh. those burns.

can’t be kicked out

– Superman’s panties: Will he finally get superpowers tomorrow?

-Gangnam Sachaewang: Wow, do you naively believe that right now? Oh yes, but what are you going to do if you get superpowers?

-Superman wears his panties: What do you mean, we should catch bastards who believe in money and do bad things like you and put them in jail.

-Gangnam Sachae King:???

– The Waste of Oz: Ah… Stop it, you idiots.

As always with the deceased. I wasted my time talking about pointless things.

-Extreme Concept Chung: If you come late tomorrow, I, the First Swordsman of Joseon, will not forgive you!

[Game closes in 30 seconds due to last invasion update.]

Finally tomorrow evening at 8:00. The final invasion begins.
