NOVEL NEXT chapter 1
001. prologue
It’s a common game.
but it’s my taste
Casual graphics or light but interesting story. And even character development. No other game has matched my tastes so perfectly.
＜Warriors Kingdom＞ is the game of my life, a love-hate companion that I have replaced half of my life.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing too many games?
“Um, did you get too carried away? Are you confused between reality and games now?”
I guess I entered this game… … pestilence.
* * *
The plot of the game was simple.
The main character, ‘Ackerman Breed’, grows by overcoming trials at the Warriors Academy, and eventually defeats the final villain, ‘Thanatos’.
Literally, it can be said to be a cartoon game for boys walking on the right path.
I enjoyed watching boys’ cartoons, so there was no other game like this.
of course… … That’s what I’m talking about when I’m playing on the computer in the corner of my room.
“I’ll be thrilled.”
The moment the game becomes my reality, the story changes.
First of all, you need to know the background of the game to understand what I mean.
The main character’s country, the kingdom of Aeonia, fell into trouble as the momentum of the surrounding powerhouses and beasts grew day by day.
After long contemplation, he came to the conclusion that strength was needed to protect the kingdom and its people.
That’s how the Warriors Academy was built.
The purpose of this place is to select talented young people regardless of their status and raise them as warriors who fight for Aeonia.
Warrior candidates must constantly compete and develop strength within the academy.
The unique content was the external ‘mission performance’.
Since they are warrior candidates who do not know when they will be put into action, this system is designed to gain practical experience as quickly as possible.
When common people or nobles put up a certain amount of money to entrust a mission, it is a way to solve the mission alone or in a team.
In other words, it is not a place where you can just take classes in peace.
… … So, I’m going to say goodbye.
In fact, the missions they undertake are quite dangerous.
What a great opportunity for the bad guys to be able to hire elite candidates for a cheap price.
Your mouth will be watery.
Traps sometimes hide during missions.
Well, because the main character is the main character, only traps are caught.
Unfortunately, despite knowing that it is being used illegally, this system is still maintained because of the surrounding situation.
Given the circumstances, surviving in this world might be quite difficult.
As long as the game has become a reality, I don’t know when and how I will die.
“It’s worth it, though.”
Anyway, only the main character, Ackerman, will solve all the really dangerous things that happen in this world.
Even in this hopeless situation, the fortunate thing is that I possessed as an extra in this game.
I want to safely graduate from the academy while receiving only moderate and safe missions.
It was the same in the military. It’s best to be neither too good nor too bad.
The time to apply that life lesson is now.
I just want to rest in moderation. without dying… … please.

Current time 00:53.
I’m sitting on my dorm bed right now.
The dormitory is a double room, but my roommate doesn’t even poke his nose.
“Are you having a party?”
Looking at the date, today is the first day of school.
Considering that the beginning of the game is the welcome ceremony, it is time for the welcome ceremony to be over.
In other words, unlike freshmen, who were still face-to-face with each other, seniors were more likely to be having a drinking party with friends they hadn’t seen in a long time.
Perhaps my roommate was in a higher grade than me.
Well, insiders will play regardless of grade, but that’s not my case.
I was an outright extra.
In other words, it’s expensive.
Name: Aren Blackfire
Gender: male
Age: 20
Personality: [gloomy] [aristocratic]
Specialty: [Black Magic] [Black Fire: Spruce]
Stats: [Strength: 3] [Agility: 3] [Stamina: 2] [Luck: 1]
Power: [20/20]
The problem was not simply having no friends and being a quiet ass.
“I didn’t even know this guy existed.”
I possessed as a child of a family that is quite hated in this world view.
The ‘Blackfire’ family.
From my memory, this family borrowed the power of demons to study black magic 100 years ago, but was discovered and ruined.
Instead of being spared from extinction because of the merits accumulated by the ancestors, he was sentenced to 100 years probation for the crime. I was the first Blackfire to finally pay for my sins and start outside activities.
At the time of the main story, no one knows my face, and only the family name is unnecessarily regarded as a legend. It is a name like an empty can covered with filth.
Still, if the saying that even if a rich person perishes, the third generation goes on is true, somehow, it seemed possible to send a child to the Warriors Academy here.
There are various ways to join the Warriors, such as acquaintance recommendation, scouting, and admission test.
In my case, it would have been thanks to the family name.
“Well, thanks to you, I can really keep quiet.”
When you play as Ackerman, you’ve never seen him before. The main story and the side story do not show their faces anywhere.
As a child of an unclean family, it seems that he went to the academy like he was dead.
In other words, it is the best character to achieve my purpose of living moderately.
“Let’s live as if a real mouse died.”
In addition, since it was a family with a deep history, the worry of dying from starvation was lessened. Looking at the bankbook, I can’t be this confident.
His specialty also seems to be good, so if he develops well, he won’t explode anywhere.
[Black Magic], [Blackfire: Spruce]
First of all, it looks like there is something shiny on the surface.
“not bad.”
brainwashed constantly.
Think positively.
Let’s go somewhere in the middle!
