0 – Prologue
There are countless elements that have value in a game.
For example, it could be a trait.
A talent that a character is born with, or an ability acquired through an opportunity…….
In either case, it was an important ‘value’.
For example, let’s say there is a character with ‘the talent of a sword that can cut the sky and the sea’, and a character with ‘the ability to skillfully slice animals with a butcher’s knife’.
If there are two options that catch your eye the moment you turn on the screen to play a game, more than 90% of players will choose the former.
Why?
The reason is not a big deal.
Simply put, it would be much easier and more fun that way.
A character that grows enough to defeat a large monster in one blow if you invest 1 hour.
And if you invest the same 1 hour, a character who can take down a goblin rider with a butcher knife.
It was a simple and clear story.
Which one can have ‘more’ fun?
Which one allows you to play ‘less’ boring games.
There was no need to worry.
I’ll say it over and over again, because no matter who it is, I’d probably choose the former.
…… Well, of course, there is no such thing as ‘absolute’.
Occasionally some choose the latter, knowing that a relatively difficult journey awaits them.
In fact, I’ve seen such cases a few times.
Perverts who take the path of self-mortification in order to slit the dragon’s head with a slaughter knife.
In many ways, they were respectable nobles.
Games are supposed to be for fun, but I didn’t know why they were doing that.
Could all of them be masochists?
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a problem that I can figure out now.
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is nothing else, but in the end, that ‘feature’ has a lot of meaning in the game.
I’ve had that thought at least once.
What if I fall into the game world?
What kind of characteristics do I, an ordinary modern man who are scattered here and there, have to start with in order to survive in such a fantasy world?
Why, aren’t there web novels like that sometimes?
I possessed the world in the game and said I was the world’s strongest swordsman?
But now I can’t see.
If that’s not the case, it’s a setting where absolute abilities are gained for a short period of time instead of a unique concept being forced…….
There were definitely times when I was immersed in a delusion that wasn’t such a delusion when I had nothing to do.
For now, let’s assume that I’ve been possessed by an unwanted person in a fantasy world.
Then, if I could choose a few special abilities or talents, which one would help me the most?
At that time, I came to a certain conclusion.
Actually, I don’t remember very well.
It wasn’t a problem I had seriously struggled with in the first place, and of course I thought it wouldn’t happen.
If it was natural, it was natural.
After returning home from my normal routine, I turned on the game as usual, but a bright light suddenly hit me, and the next thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the world inside the game.
hahahaha. No matter how many clichés there are these days, there’s no way that kind of expedient development would happen in real life.
No one will believe it. Such an absurd story.
“… ….”
Yes. If someone had said that to me, I would have laughed it off and told them not to talk nonsense.
If I hadn’t been the only person involved in the matter right now, that would be.
“That’s f*cking right… ….”
With a blank laugh, I blankly looked up into the sky.
The first thing that came into my sight was the scenery of a city that didn’t seem like Korea, no matter how positively I tried to think about it.
Unless it was a large-scale theme park or a movie set somewhere, it was a city with a very heterogeneous atmosphere that I couldn’t understand.
That’s not to say it doesn’t feel weird.
Rather than that, what should I say, it feels like visiting an old city in Europe or something like that?
Of course, I had never set foot on European soil. It wasn’t that I didn’t like to travel abroad.
Anyway, it was really difficult to explain anything other than that kind of expression.
I was too embarrassed.
What on earth did I do to suddenly get thrown into this situation?
‘It will turn.’
I can say it’s an instinctive intuition, but I know one thing naturally even when I’m literally faced with this f*cking situation.
No, should I say two facts?
I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not, but one thing.
This will not be ‘somewhere’ belonging to the world I have lived in.
In fact, it can be said that it is a very normal reaction that my mentality, which is just an ordinary modern person, is shattered like a certain cookie.
But you know what’s even more absurd?
This city, this scenery that I have my eyes on right now.
I knew the name of this place.
“…… Under.”
That was the second damn fact.
That I know where this place is.
There is no way you don’t know.
As I already said once, I was ‘seeing’ this world until right before I lost my mind.
…… Through the screen, of course.
Seriously, I’ve never wished to have such vivid vision as now.
This isn’t even 8K UHD. No, even if the 8K UHD grandfather comes, it shouldn’t be like this.
My lips parted, but I couldn’t say anything and let out a deep sigh.
No answer.
I didn’t have the confidence to find an answer in this situation.
What comes to mind, yes.
It was just one word.
-Possession (憑依).
Anyway, it seemed that I had won one of the most famous rounds of magic.
