I Killed the Heroine in the Game

01 : I kiIIed one of the main players in the game today. Today, maybe yesterday.

The weather is hot again today.

I thought as I ran my arm through the sweat dripping down my chin.

On a day like this, you need to stay well hydrated or you will collapse. I checked the remaining amount of the ion drink that I roughly squeezed into my sweatpants.

Okay, that’s enough for me to buy another bottle.

It was not a waste of money to buy an ion drink.

What I’ve learned from playing nogada since I was young is that if you don’t take good care of your water and electrolytes, you’ll collapse.

In addition, it costs almost 2,000 won to buy at a convenience store, but 500ml of ionic beverage is sold for only 100 won at the shop with the gift of a possessor. Necessary but cheap.

I selected Ion Beverage and pressed the purchase button. Immediately after, the drink fell on my hand.

This is a really convenient store. And if you want to be greedy, it would be nice if the real price was this much.

While thinking such a foolish thought, I trudged along with a sword on my shoulder that wouldn’t be strange even if I was arrested as it is in modern society.

Even when they saw a dangerous person carrying a knife in downtown Seoul, people only glanced at it, and they didn’t report it or look frightened.

Rather, I could see it more like looking at a neighborhood cleaner wearing a fluorescent vest.

At first, I also searched the clothes collection box for a shirt that didn’t fit the weather, so I tried to hide my weapon in broad daylight.

I have been walking around confidently since I realized that there is a trend in this world where if there is a person holding a knife and looking strange, it is normal to say that it is an exorcist.

If it were me, if there were people walking around with knives like this, I would first report them to the police and start.

I wonder if it’s because you’re not carefree or because you’re used to danger?

What I have felt after living in this world for several months is that this world is truly a mess.

Evil spirits, which are said to be born from a combination of human dark emotions and fears, don’t ‘must’ exist for a reason, such as that there is an incident or accident.

It’s caused by a strange ghost story being spread, and someone made a ghost story out of gore on the Internet.

For some really strange reason, when evil spirits appeared, people didn’t pay attention unless the exorcist drew his sword and just let it go.

In order to exorcise evil spirits that appear for all sorts of reasons, exorcists, who are few in number, walk around with dead eyes every day, so that has become a daily routine.

This is so absurd. But if it wasn’t for this world, I’d be a psychopath walking around in broad daylight with a sharp knife.

But now I’m impersonating an exorcist, so I wondered if there was a problem.

I want you to see that the reason I walk around with a knife is to catch evil spirits just like the exorcists.

While thinking such a foolish thought, I scratched my chin with my fingers hanging from the string hanging from my apron.

I’d like to say that today’s extermination of evil spirits is the same as usual, but today’s extermination is a little different.

My usual method of collecting money is collecting money that appears as if monsters are dropping in the game after defeating evil spirits, or requests through personal connections that I got from doing various things.

[ Normal Quest ]

＜ An evil spirit appeared at the Cheonho-dong construction site. Deal with the B-class virtual evil spirit ‘Mister Cuckoo’. ＞

＜ Compensation – KRW 3 million ＞

[ The quest has been accepted. ]

Only this time, I have to deal with this quest by accepting it.

When I saw the word virtual demon that popped up in the quest window, I scratched my stomach and tried to think of the meaning of the word.

I’m sure my little brother was talking about this game and then explaining about the virtual demon…….

If ordinary evil spirits are simply a natural product of fear and negative emotions.

As the name implies, virtual demons were born from ghost stories spread among people.

It moves according to the contents of a fictional ghost story and harms people.

The more people know the ghost story that forms the nucleus of a virtual evil spirit, the stronger it is, he said.

Then Grandpa Mangtae is so damn good. The ghost stories I know are about the red mask and the mangtae grandfather…….

The corner of his mouth went up because he remembered how he had been cursing me to have a game hobby while saying these things. It was also for a while.

Anyway, accepting this quest that popped up in front of me is in addition to receiving money as a quest reward.

Because the businessman who took good care of the evil spirit I dealt with at the shopping mall the other day said that if I dealt with the virtual evil spirit that appeared this time, he would give me an additional 500 bucks.

The businessman who makes such a request to such a child is clearly a person who has his hands in a dangerous way, and I could see that he was trying to stab me in the back with this. I didn’t mind.

That person definitely makes a request like this and takes care of the money properly, but he feeds me medicine while giving me snacks and bread or whatever.

If you become addicted to medicine, you’ll think of making a toy to use without paying and pampering yourself with the medicine.

If you did that sh*t from the beginning, you will of course notice everything, so at least I will properly deposit the money for this request and get the job done.

You should only accept that and cut off the kite altogether. I giggled and tapped the scabbard of the fan sword that made a can-can sound.

In the original world, I had experience getting involved with gangsters and people from the secret service, and I had the experience of stepping in and out of there to make money, so I know a little bit about the ecosystem there.

It could be that they see me as a child and try to manipulate me from the start, but- well, then you just have to run away or die.

If you take care of this job and pay the price properly, will you get roughly 800 money? It’s more than the money I spent when I already bought the skiII.

As expected, it’s better to work diligently and save money than to go to an academy.

Chang keeps forcing me to go to the academy! At first, he told me to go to the academy and get the best grades, but then I ignored him.

Now they said they would give you money if you went to the academy site. I laughed at that quest window.

At first, wouldn’t it be nice to go to a place that gives you money just to look around? I thought of doing it, but

I didn’t want to listen to the quest window that seemed to force me to enter the academy, so I beat it.

“People don’t want to listen to me anymore when someone forces me, but it’s clear that this quest guy doesn’t know people.”

Take that sh*t for the rest of your life. Do I pee in the direction of the academy?

I laughed at the feeling of piercing my skin immediately after giggling. I walked for a long time thinking about it, and I arrived at the destination before I knew it.

I am an alleyway that boasts a gloomy atmosphere, no. Looking at the street, I thought about the incident that happened here, which was commissioned and investigated.

The street in front of me used to be a prostitute village street that was famous in the neighborhood.

The show windows and strewn furniture in mostly abandoned buildings tell us what people are doing here.

I heard that in my father’s generation, this was also a place where a lot of people went.

There were a lot of thugs and the security wasn’t very good, but that was a thing of the past.

People don’t come often now. It is said that there were many houses nearby, and that it was a place where redevelopment was carried out and only a few shops remained, leaving vague traces of the past.

Of course, security wasn’t that good. It was a place where people who didn’t come with a purpose didn’t come often.

Due to the nature of the street, it is easy for negative emotions to gather, so exorcists periodically deal with evil spirits to protect nearby homes, so it was a relatively safe place for evil spirits.

One day, a woman was murdered by a madman who suddenly appeared.

The lunatic is said to have attacked the dead woman’s head until it cracked open and its contents protruded out.

Of course, the lunatic was caught, but the problem here is that the lunatic escaped without being caught and was arrested in another area the next day.

I wonder if those who heard the story said that the man was not a human being but a demon? I had a fear of

The story was intertwined with Mr. Cuckoo, a ghost story popular in the old days, and the simple story Mr. Cuckoo was born as a real virtual evil spirit, is the result of my investigation.

What else is Mr. Cuckoo doing? Again, the only ghost stories I know of are the red mask and mante grandpa.

I know this because I saw these two stories in a palm-sized ghost story book that someone abandoned while working a long time ago, and honestly, I’m not interested!

Still, in order to deal with this virtual demon, you need to know about it.

I searched the Internet and found the cuckoo man’s ghost story. I took out a notepad and checked it again.

“If you hear a cuckoo on the road and turn around, the cuckoo man will attack you…”

It’s a simple ghost story. It feels like a group of middle and high school students made a ghost story about something that a madman in the neighborhood would do.

But if it’s such a simple ghost story, you can just run and deal with it.

I blinked. First of all, the goal is 1,000. Collect 1,000 so that you can help your friend’s aunt.

Yes, at least that much.

Since there was an incident and the academy and high-ranking people paid for condolences and received silence fees, they must have received some money.

It seemed to the lady who was waiting for her son, who couldn’t even find the body, that she would be able to raise her head only if she prepared at least that much.

Vengeance on my friends is purely mine. Because repaying her favor to her aunt is another thing.

I sharpened my mind as I weakly chewed the flesh in my cheek.

I walked towards the street where entry was prohibited with the news that an evil spirit had occurred.

Waiting for the sound of the cuckoo that is said to be heard while walking on this street.

※※※※※※

“Ceee…Why don’t you show up?”

Exactly 2 hours, 8 minutes and 24 seconds since I walked this distance.

I didn’t even hear the cuckoo, let alone Mr. Cuckoo.

This brothel street was a short one, about 25 meters. Even after walking up and down the street for two hours, I didn’t hear the cuckoo.

Why don’t you show up? I was scratching my head wondering if someone had dealt with the demon before I came.

The chill and discomfort I felt was the same as the energy of evil spirits I felt in this world. My senses screamed that at least a B-level demon was present here.

Then why doesn’t it appear? Did it have to be something more to appear?

If you knew everything about this game like my brother, it wouldn’t have been so frustrating.

Still, is it better than not knowing at all?

I felt grateful to my younger brother, as I wouldn’t have remembered it to this extent if he hadn’t been singing about the setting, story, and characters of this game for an hour every day for many years.

I couldn’t hide my regret that if I knew I was coming to this world, I would have played the game myself.

But what can I do? Even if my younger brother sang, “Go for it,” I had to make money so I didn’t have time to play games.

Even if the past can’t be helped. I thought about why Mr. Cuckoo didn’t show up.

Virtual evil spirits born from ghost stories must follow the rules and have stronger power than normal naturally occurring evil spirits because they abide by the restrictions.

Killing ends evenly if you just cut it with a knife. Whether or not to appear follows the rules like a knife.

That means that even the cuckoo man appears and can do something that requires rules. Unless you know that, you won’t meet anything even if you stay here all day.

“Damn it. That sucks.”

Somehow, the businessman didn’t even say anything about the deposit to be paid if the mission failed, and it was strange that he would give money if he dealt with this cuckoo man without any sign of fraud, but I knew I wouldn’t find it.

When I thought that even if I went back and forth here, I would only waste time, I felt my body loosen up.

I took out the ionized beverage I had crammed into my pocket, drank it all, and tossed the empty bottle onto a pile of garbage nearby.

There is still time before the deadline for completing the quest, so let’s investigate more about Mr. Cuckoo. If anything, you can come this morning.

After organizing my thoughts, I pushed my toes to go back. Right after.

“＜ /I＞

It was an awkward sound to call a real bird.

The moment I heard a grotesque sound, as if an old man was forcing himself to copy the song of a bird with a split neck.

I sharpened my senses and immediately drew the knife and looked back, but there was nothing there.

What is it? I was embarrassed to hear that there was nothing behind me.

Soon I realized that the sound of the cuckoo was coming from the other side, not from where I was.

Not here. On the other side of this street, Mr. Cuckoo appeared.

I used all my physical abilities and ran to the location where something was supposed to have appeared.

The performance of this body was able to break through a distance of 15 meters in the blink of an eye and reach the destination.

And I have an appearance that stands out with the will to make the viewer feel disgusted as much as possible by combining cuckoo and human parts.

I could see it trying to swing its big claws at someone.

I couldn’t see who was being attacked because of Mr. Cuckoo’s grotesquely twisted body.

I was holding a knife and fighting against Mr. Cuckoo.

Is it an exorcist? It didn’t matter. As for me, I could only thank the exorcist who made it appear.

With a feeling of gratitude, I pulled out the sword as it was and inserted the sword containing spiritual power into Mr. Cuckoo’s head.

Mr. Cuckoo tried to attack me by turning his neck 180 degrees even though his sword had pierced his head as if he was trying to show off his B-class prowess.

I pulled out the knife stuck in my head with my spiritually strengthened arm, and then stabbed the cuckoo man’s twisted neck like a hack.

Foul and smelly blood splatters on your face, but that’s only for a moment. Mr. Cuckoo collapsed with his neck and torso separated.

[ You have completed the quest. ]

＜ 3,000,000 Won in cash will be provided as compensation. ＞

＜ Possessed funds ㅡ KRW 4,591,100 ＞

Okay. Money came in I grinned with joy.

It was fresher than I thought. Considering the ghost story about attacking a person who looked back in response to a sound, I didn’t even look back, I didn’t use my strength properly. It was speculated that

Or maybe it’s because the muscles in this body are strong.

I was really confident in doing all sorts of things to earn money and using my body.

Before my legs were drawn, the reason I paid off my debt was entirely thanks to my body, which was stronger than the average person’s.

Well, I’m worse than my body right now, but

“You…”

It’s the blood of an evil spirit that will disappear without a trace after a while.

Someone has been talking to me. I rolled my eyes and saw the exorcist being attacked by Mr. Cuckoo. I reflexively felt my face crinkle.

The person attacked by Mr. Cuckoo was wearing an academy uniform.

If I was simply an academy student, I would have just passed it on.

But the person in front of me now was a kid with the same appearance as the illustration of the main character shown by his younger brother.

Blonde, red-eyed, smooth-faced little boy looked at me and averted his gaze with an uncomfortable look on his face, not knowing whether it was guilt, sadness, or anger.

Story Why are you here? Like a habit, I continued to think through the pain while rubbing the masseter muscle under my ear.

I put the knife in the scabbard, blinking my eyes, thinking that there was no need to worry about a person I had no relationship with.

The main character is uncomfortable with me and I am not interested in him. But you don’t have to use your brain.

Stop thinking like that and let out a yawn. Something suddenly blocked my view.

[ Chain Quest ]

＜ Please listen to the concerns of the protagonist of this world at the nearest academy.＞

＜ Compensation – 10 million won ＞

[ Do you want to accept? Y/N]

The window popped up again.

Look at that window. I ha! And snorted.

This bastard also clings on so badly. They say they give you a cloth at once?

Although I am a person who values money, I can give up my pride for money.

But I didn’t cross the important line as a human being.

I have a younger brother, but if I become a butcher who only cares about money, I won’t be able to be called an older brother.

Although it is said that one can sacrifice one’s ego for money.

If you treat a person like a dog and offer money like feeding a stray dog, who will listen?

If you wrongly insert a scam that attracts unearned income in this way, you will get nothing but money.

That’s why.

“Hey…”

“hahahaha.”

I pressed the reject button and nervously erased the window with the feeling of eating sh*t. Now, if I get money from a businessman, I am satisfied.

I chuckled and ran off the street. I think the main character said something, but I decided to forget it.

It was a hot day.
