NOVEL NEXT chapter 2
2 – first comment
“Kyaaah!”
“Hee! This, Ilseong…is dead…”
Unlike me, who is calm, there is no panic in the classroom.
Of course.
Because people died right in front of my eyes.
That’s also the classmate I was talking about until just now.
Everyone was terrified at the gruesome sight.
To the point where I couldn’t even move a finger.
Of course, I didn’t even think about saving my fallen friend.
But I was rather fortunate.
What if you tried to run away from here?
Confusion makes the situation worse,
Zombie damage would have been much greater.
‘Don’t be surprised under any circumstances. This is both a blessing and a curse.’
[The attribute ‘Metafiction’ is active.]
[Keep your composure with the attribute effect.]
Meanwhile, I didn’t feel anything.
It feels like a monster came out of a monster movie.
Even a corpse with its throat torn off.
Even zombies chewing it up.
There is no disgust or fear at all.
I slowly looked around.
The empty hallways and the shivering people.
‘There won’t be a main character in this, right?’
If there’s a candidate, it’s about Yoo Hye-na.
Hye-na is trembling and does not know what to do.
There is no sign of anyone coming running.
At least if it’s an important role.
The main character must have appeared and saved us.
It’s a pity, but everyone here looks like an extra.
Including me, of course.
“Krurruk!”
“Hee, hee!”
Then the zombie raised its head.
Eyes trying to choose the next prey.
“Ahhh…..”
A girl meets her gaze.
Have you lost any strength in your legs?
The female student slumped on the floor.
The area between the crotch gets wet.
Although it is a natural phenomenon,
Unfortunately things are not looking good right now.
“Quaaa!”
Is it an instinct to hunt the weakest opponent first?
Zombies rushed towards the female students.
But as before, no one moved.
It is because the accident paralyzed by fear stiffened the body.
-Fuck!!
Except for me.
“Kuuu!”
“……Your body is softer than I thought.”
I lifted my chair and fired a chairshot at the zombie’s head.
I didn’t die in one hit, so I had to hit a few more.
-puck! puck! puck!
The zombie hit in the head fell to the floor.
I hit the chair one after another just in case.
For the first time in my life, I felt a heavy feeling in my hand.
Bones break, blood flows.
Even the living corpse seems to die eventually.
With each blow, blood splattered on his pants.
‘I won’t be able to move at this much.’
After swinging the chair for a while, he stopped.
It was a fairly rough movement, so I was out of breath.
It was when I killed a zombie like that.
[You have obtained the perish coin!]
[You defeated the first zombie in the area!]
[Acquire 100 perish coins as an additional bonus.]
A translucent window suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
I checked it out and narrowed my eyes.
‘Coin?’
If it’s a coin, that’s it.
An item usually used to buy items at a shop in a web novel.
I never thought I would see the setting that is common in apocalyptic waters.
I really feel that this world is a novel.
Besides, the name is ‘Destruction Coin’.
I even laughed at the overly intuitive name.
‘Come to think of it, I said I need coins to use skills.’
I turned on the skill information I saw earlier.
＜Skill Information＞
▶Skill Name: Check comments
▶Rating: S
▶Level: Max
▶Magic Consumption: 50 Coins
▶Skill effect
: You can check the comments on the novel. The episode with comments and the characteristics of comments are randomly determined.
50 coins required for one skill.
That means I can check 2 comments now.
‘I’m not sure if it’s cheap or expensive.’
I had no idea how much 50 coins were worth.
In the first place, since I don’t know the market price of the coin, is there anything special?
But I thought it wasn’t that bad.
The most important thing in the apomul is information.
It is even the ability to check the comments on the work.
Maybe you can get the information you need to survive.
‘I’ll have to try it at least once anyway.’
I immediately activated the skill.
[Thank you for using the skill ‘Check Comments’!]
[This skill requires 50 coins. Do you recognize and agree to this?]
[If you agree once, the same notification will not appear!]
Unexpectedly, a strangely lively message came to mind.
It even feels like a spam call.
I was a little taken aback, but I agreed in my heart.
[Thank you for agreeing!]
[Confirmed the information of ‘Lee Ji-hoon’ player!]
[You can use the skill ‘Check Comments’ from now on!]
[Please note that the comment check period varies depending on the current progress!]
[First launch free service! As a reward for agreeing, the first skill use will be free!]
[Do you want to use the skill right away?]
‘Oh, it’s free?’
I felt a little better about the service I hadn’t thought of.
I was thinking of spending 50 coins anyway.
If it’s free, it’s unconditionally welcome.
[Skill ‘Check Comments’ has been used.]
[Currently, there are 3 comment lists that can be viewed.]
[Please select one comment you would like to see.]
1. The first comment on the prologue
2. The most upvoted comment in episode 1
3. The comment that received the most objections in episode 1
Three options popped up in front of me.
It looks like you can only choose one of these.
‘It’s still in the early stages, so I can only check up to episode 1.’
Come to think of it, I said that the period varies depending on the progress.
Perhaps this is the influence.
After thinking about it for a while, I chose the second comment.
‘The most upvoted comment in episode 1’.
There is a high probability that the first comment will be simple.
Opposite comments are most likely just curse words.
But if it’s a comment with a lot of recommendations.
It must contain the core contents of the episode.
[You selected comment number 1.]
[The content of comment No. 1 is as follows.]
[Content: If you follow the Apomul special smart-looking extras, you’ll die right away hahahaha]
[Like: 124, Against: 8]
‘What is this?’
Frankly, I was a little disappointed.
Even if it’s not even information about Hidden Peace.
I thought at least a clue about the main character would come out.
I didn’t know what to do with this information.
I immediately tried to use the skill once more.
However, it was blocked by the message that followed.
[Currently, it is not possible to check additional comments due to lack of progress in the story.]
[After this, please use it after progressing the story!]
‘……I didn’t say anything like this.’
I don’t think the skill had a cooldown.
Even the comments that can be checked, and the episodes are all random.
This means that you cannot always get the information you want.
‘It’s a skill that depends more on luck than I thought.’
Well, it’s not bad in terms of knowing the future.
There will be more quality information as the story progresses.
I swallowed my regret.
“Kyaaa Me, over there!”
A female student pointed out the window and screamed.
Everyone’s eyes are looking outward.
There, a considerable number of zombies were running towards this building.
“Me, crazy!”
“Damn it! Where the hell did those things come from!”
People who thought they were calm for a while fell into panic again.
At first glance, there were more zombies than people in this classroom.
It’s common sense to fight or run away.
After gathering all the school people, of course.
And I don’t know if I fought while taking sacrifices.
How many people do that in today’s society?
“Let’s run away!”
Suddenly, a man with glasses spoke.
I remember him as a kid who always competed for the top ranks and was good at his studies.
“Joe, zombies are coming from everywhere, where are they?”
“I’m going to the roof! It’s safer to keep your distance. If the rescue team comes, we’ll be able to hop in the helicopter and get away right away!”
The male student’s words were quite persuasive.
Because no one has any other way anyway.
“You must hurry! There’s no guarantee that we’re the only ones trying to get to the rooftop!”
up to the time limit.
As soon as the words were finished, people ran out of the hallway.
We were on the top floor of the building.
If you go up one flight of stairs, there is a rooftop.
But I just came out of the hallway.
Didn’t go up the stairs.
It was because the comments on the skill caught my heart.
[Content: If you follow the apomul special extra smart-looking extras, you’ll die right away hahahaha]
‘This is exactly the same situation as comments.’
Is going to the rooftop really the answer in the first place?
The zombie that first attacked us appeared in the hallway.
This means that it is not strange if there are already zombies elsewhere in the building.
In addition, due to the nature of the rooftop, there is no place to escape if chased by zombies.
Maybe you are driving yourself to a dead end.
Originally, I would have followed them ignorantly.
But ‘Metafiction’ made me cool.
“Wait a minute!”
After thinking about it, I cried out.
“It is dangerous to move recklessly. I don’t know what’s up there.”
People paused at my words.
Really, just a little while.
“What are you saying, you otaku!”
“Do you think you’ve become something just because you killed a zombie?”
Hmmm, why do you get upset even if you sincerely worry?
People just went up there.
However, you cannot force them to dry.
Whatever choice you make for survival is your personal freedom.
Maybe they’re right, maybe I’m wrong.
‘Still, I’ve done what I would have done if I had dried it once.’
then what do i do
“Ji, Jihoon. Let’s just follow along, okay?”
A terrified voice came from the side.
Yoo Hye-na was shaking while holding my sleeve.
why is he here?
“If you’re scared, you can go alone.”
“My, how can I leave you alone?”
Yoo Hye-na made a slightly hurt face.
To be honest, I was a little surprised.
I didn’t know that you thought of me this much.
No, before that, in this situation, taking care of others first?
Impossible unless you have a very good personality.
‘Isn’t Hye-na just an extra?’
Certainly, Hyena is too pretty to throw away as a disposable.
Even if it survives until the last episode, it is highly probable that it will overflow.
However, as Hyena said, she cannot go up with her.
It was time for me to think about what to do with this hand.
[I tried to save the other survivors, but failed!]
[Sorry, but the right choice!]
[Early progress affects traits and class selection!]
Suddenly, a message appeared in front of my eyes.
Then, a bursting sound in my ears.
– aaagh!
-help me! help me!
-mom! Mama ah!
A creepy sound of breaking bones explodes.
The screams that spread from the rooftop pierced the skin.
Hyena and I looked at the stairs leading to the rooftop.
From there, a female student from earlier jumped out, covered in white.
“The monster, the monster…is alive…”
The female student was trying to say something in the middle of her mind.
But unfortunately, the words didn’t carry on to the end.
The girl who was talking suddenly fell over.
Looking good, I didn’t fall.
A tentacle grabbed her ankle.
“aaa! Hate! I hate it!!”
The female student gripped the floor with her nails peeling off.
However, the girl’s efforts were futile and she was dragged into the darkness.
– Kwap! Whoops! simplicity and honesty!
The sound of chewing something that followed.
Needless to say what the appearance of that meant.
I could feel the presence wriggling in the dark.
[The middle boss of the area, ‘Tentacle Monster’ has appeared!]
…….Is it a mid-boss from the beginning?
After all, neither I nor Hye-nana are the main characters in this world.
