NOVEL NEXT chapter 2
2. A mythical skill?
“Rip this too… … .”
Sitting next to the capsule, I disassembled the devices attached to the capsule one by one.
“What is it?”
The older brother points with his finger at the square box that has been opened on one side.
“This is what you need when you say Resema. A kind of macro.”
“Macro? Can I make some money if I sell it?”
“Well, it is, but the problem is that this is illegal.”
“illegal?”
“yes. Unauthorized equipment.”
“Where do you buy these?”
“There are some capsule shops that do things like this illegally, but don’t even think about selling them second-hand.”
“why?”
“If you get caught with unauthorized equipment, you will be suspended from business and the fine will be huge, so you wouldn’t even pretend to know. Since it is illegal in the first place, there is no A/S.”
“Right.”
“Anyway, take this off… … .”
After connecting the laptop and the capsule, downloading the latest firmware from the J-Tex website, and upgrading the capsule, I nodded with a sigh.
“Junghyun-ah, are you done?”
“uh. First of all, the outside is finished, and I have to go inside the rest, but I have to go to the bathroom and do it.”
One of the biggest disasters that can happen while using a capsule is doing errands inside the capsule. Of course, the game system detects the user’s condition and gives a warning in advance, but there are cases where it is impossible to get out of the game right away, so hard users play the game wearing adult diapers at home.
After a while, I got ready and went inside the capsule. Citra used by the dead, although he was reluctant, he shouted 15 percent in his heart and lay down in the capsule.
“I’ll check the account core right away if there’s nothing wrong with logging in. The account core itself is illegal, so I’m going to use the program I used while working as a VR installer, so don’t touch my laptop. If you make a fuss, the guest account will be linked to me.”
“Yeah, yes.”
The older brother, who had been putting his finger on the laptop, put his hand away with a prickly expression.
“no way.”
“I know. Don’t you believe me?”
“I am promised like this because I trust that my brother will touch me.”
“okay. Jjasik… … . I will never touch you.”
After receiving a confirmation from my brother, I inserted the account core into the external device slot of the VR Gear, put it over my head, and lay down.
“Then go in.”
When I pressed the button next to the VR gear, my vision went black.
The JTexa logo appeared and disappeared on the black screen, and he was standing in a room with white walls. This is the space called the system provided by the capsule. Originally, it should be decorated according to the user’s taste, but it is in an initial state, perhaps because the firmware has been upgraded to the latest.
“Search for an installer.”
When I shout out a command, I hear a hard system voice.
[Five installed games found.]
[Seon 3.13 version]
[Yuna-chan’s secret day]
[AV Girl Squadron]
[The Office wife Version 1.1]
[Knockout Master]
“He was a very hot-blooded man.”
Except Seion, all of them are adult games. I don’t mean to disparage individual taste, but I don’t understand why he had the spirit to play adult games when he was crazy about games and even got debts.
“Now let’s fix it.”
I called up the installer’s program and started inspecting the capsule, and after about 10 minutes, everything was over. And now it’s time to check the account core.
“Activate Seion.”
[Start Seion.]
The surrounding walls were broken into cubic-like fragments and scattered in all directions, eventually turning into a black space. The game is running.
[The account does not exist on the server. Would you like to create a new account? If you do not create an account, you can enjoy the game for 3 days with a guest account.]
“No, explore guest account.”
[1 guest account was detected on the external device. Would you like to associate the guest account with the user?]
I took a deep breath at the system’s question. If you answer incorrectly here, the guest account becomes mine. And once the account is linked, the guest account that is presumed to have been recycled cannot be sold.
“Connecting to the game without interlocking.”
[Connect to the guest account. The remaining usage time is 8 hours 21 minutes 11 seconds.]
Shuuk!
[Welcome to Seion, the world of adventure and plunder… … .]
“Skip.”
[My dear, now… … .]
“Skip.”
Fire!
It gets dark before my eyes, and a cluster of stars shoots up from under my feet into the sky. My body is floating alone in the vast universe. As I watched the universe for about 30 seconds, the stars gathered around me, and gradually a dazzling amount of light enveloped me, and then a text appeared in front of my eyes.
[I am a traveler who travels the dimension. Welcome to Seion. you… … .]
“Skip.”
When I shouted skip, a character appeared in front of me with a flashing light.
“It must have been a man.”
There is a saying that the more the character and the user’s body type or gender are the same, the higher the motivation rate, so most of them keep their original gender. And as expected, a handsome man who seemed to have customized with great care appeared. I don’t know, but it looks like it could have been made by investing an hour. But I was in no mood to appreciate it. Because of the status window that appeared right in front of me… … .

Skill Eater [Myth Level] [Tier 1]
“Poetry, mythical level!”
[The game is forced to close because the user’s condition is unstable.]
Beep-!
The eyesight is dark and bright.
“hahahaha… ha… … .”
“hey! what’s the matter?”
As soon as I jumped out of the capsule, I threw away the VR gear I was wearing and took a deep breath. My heart is beating so fast I can’t stay still.
“Brother, radish, some water… … .”
“Uh ok! Hang in there!”
At my words, my older brother brought a bottle of mineral water from the kitchen, and it was only after I took one shot of the bottle of water that I calmed down.
“Great… … .”
“What?”
“Awesome!”
“what! Speak in a way that I can understand!”
“It’s a mythical level skill.”
“A mythical skill? what is that?”
“Whoa, wait.”
I accessed a site called Itemgate on my laptop. This site was the largest game item trading site in Korea, and most of the trades were related to Seion. However, no matter how much you search, you cannot find a guest account with a mythical level skill in the sale items. No, this is normal. There’s no way an account with a mythical level skill could exist on a site like this. While searching for items for sale, Jeong-hyeon found a guest account with a rare skill level that was two steps lower than the mythical level.
-Seion windmill [rare]- 8,000,000 won [transaction completed]
“Eight million won… under… … .”
The skill that falls two levels is a whopping eight hundred. I accessed the largest Resemara cafe on the portal site. It’s a place that trades guest accounts made with reshemara, but the credit is low, but the price is definitely known.
– Seion Legendary skill Thorns [Legendary] guest account is on sale. Start playing with 300 million [transaction complete]
-Seon Skill Dragons [Mythic Level] guest account is on sale. No prank less than 1.5 billion [Transaction complete]
– King Seion’s Shield [Mythic] is for sale. It starts at 10 billion won. [Transaction completed]
Even though it has been half a year since its opening, Seion is still a game whose popularity is rising rapidly. No matter how much I stopped playing games for a while, I can’t help but notice that my friends are chatting about it every day.
There were a total of four structures in which Heaven’s Gate, the developer, generated revenue from Seion. The first was the sale of capsules. Seion capsules, which cost close to 10 million won, are so popular that even if you make a reservation, you have to wait three or four months.
The second is a fee that is collected by refunding shoes in Seion in real money. You have to pay a fairly high commission of 20%, but it is said that even if you are only half-paying, you can earn enough money to live on just Seon.
The third is revenue from Seion broadcasting rights, and it is said that the amount of money collected from all over the world is in trillions every year.
Lastly, there is Seion’s gacha system.
Seion’s gacha that can make money if you have skills. In particular, the skill drawing ticket was notorious for its extremely dire probability.
Skill Draw Ticket: 100,000 won
Of course, nuclear chargeers would invest a million won or ten million won, but the problem was the crazy probability. Skills are divided into 5 levels: Normal, Advanced, Rare, Legendary, and Mythical. As you go up one level, the difficulty increases exponentially, and it is 0.0001% when it comes to the mythical level. For reference, a nuclear charge content YouTuber with 2 million subscribers tried to pick a mythical level, but burned a whopping 500 million and knelt down at the legendary level.
Everyone said that the game company was crazy when it first announced the crazy odds and prices, but now people who burn hundreds of millions of dollars come out often. In short, the price of this guest account with mythical skills cannot be measured.
“brother.”
“why?”
I turned my head and looked at my brother. The first thought that came to my mind was whether I could really trust my brother. I said 15% as a joke, but now it’s not a joke. These days, when knife fighting takes place between families even with only a few million won, 15% is equivalent to 100 to 200 million won.
But to me, Sangdo hyung was more than family. At first, we fought a little, but as we grew closer, he cherished and took care of us like a younger brother, and he never betrayed that trust. If my brother betrays me, there will be no one I can trust in this world.
“brother. Do you have Cheongsimhwan at home?”
“… … ?”
* * *
“Huh… Wow, fuck… … .”
“Are you okay, brother?”
“Uh, okay. it’s okay.”
He says he’s fine, but from the outside, he doesn’t look good at all. He keeps shaking his hands as he speaks, and when someone sees him, he asks if he has epilepsy. Dry-washing with both palms, the older brother asked again.
“How much?”
“I haven’t seen options yet, but even if it’s a mythical level, it’s a billion?”
“billion… … .”
“If the options are good, maybe more is possible.”
“ha… … .”
The older brother let out a big sigh at the unimaginable amount.
“If it wasn’t for you, I would have hit the ground and regretted it. To think that I could almost get rid of a billion won for just 1 million won… Thank you. child.”
“done. no one else older brother.”
“why?”
“this.”
widely!
My older brother checked the small object I threw and barely caught it with a hot expression. Because it was an account core with hundreds of millions of guest accounts.
“It’s your brother.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“First of all, it bounced off due to state instability and we couldn’t connect for a while, so let’s eat in the meantime.”
He may be greedy after picking up a first-place lottery ticket, but he whines as if he doesn’t care, asking for food.
“That, yes. Would you like some salty noodles?”
“No rice?”
“This is only a Chinese restaurant.”
“Then I’m salty… I’ll be resting while the delivery comes.”
“I get it.

When Jeonghyeon went back to his room, Sangdo, who had been silently watching him, took out an account core from his pocket and held it up. This is over 1 billion. A situation to be happy about. However, on the other hand, Sang-do was feeling a feeling close to self-loathing. Hearing that it was over 1 billion, he immediately suspected that Jung-hyeon might be jumping around with it. And I felt the urge to snatch it from his hands. But just a moment ago, Jeong-hyeon passed it on to himself as if it was rather insignificant.
“You little bastard… … .”

Jung-hyeon was not just a younger brother to Sang-do at an orphanage. He entered the nursery school with a rather large head compared to other children, and was a child full of hatred for the world in shock of being abandoned by his parents. When even his younger brother, who was his support, was adopted first and left, Sang-do’s crookedness intensified. He’s bigger and stronger than his peers, so it’s only natural for him to bully the kids. Then, one day, Jung-hyeon came to the nursery school, and Sang-do persistently bullied him, just like he did to the other children. Like a doll whose soul has escaped, I made fun of him every day, who only gets fooled.
Then one day, the local middle school students came in droves and started beating him. One of the school kids he bullied was Iljin’s younger brother. Even a middle school student would be able to handle it if it was two or three, but since it was over ten, Sangdo had no choice but to be defeated. And then it was. The fact that Jeonghyeon appeared with a club… … .
“Don’t bully my brother!”

Jeong-hyeon bravely attacked Sang-do, brandishing a club. And from that day on, Sang-do started to cherish Jeong-hyeon more than his own younger brother, and Jeong-hyeon also followed Sang-do like an older brother.
‘My older brother!’
I think I can hear the voice I heard then again. As if his frozen heart melted at that word that day… … .
“sorry. little brother.”
