chapter 2
I was possessed by a garbage character.
knowledge enters the mind.
The environment in which Seokhyun Lee lived, the basic knowledge of Final Destiny, manners, society, etc.
All the elements necessary to live in this world are forcibly injected.
‘Lee Seok-hyun.’
This is the name of the character I possessed.
A trash character who has the same name as me and everything is randomly determined as I explained before.
But the problem is that Lee Seok-hyun is not the only reason why he is a trash character.
‘Worst early growth route.’
Final Destiny has a lot of characters, and you have to solve your own story before entering the academy.
Usually, the personal story before entering the academy is called the introduction, and after the academy is called the main body.
Some characters grow up with numerous perks in this introductory part, but not Lee Seok-hyun.
‘It’s just like a game.’
Am I really into the game?
When I opened my eyes and looked around, I had to forcefully accept the truth.
In an underdeveloped space reminiscent of an ant den, children are lying on the ground in a row.
“You can’t get up quickly, you scumbags!”
<Always the same daily life, I won’t be able to escape from this hell for the rest of my life>
This is the first line that pops up when you select Lee Seok-hyun and start the game.
A harsh forced labor environment that begins at the young age of seven.
A grumpy-looking man enters a room full of orphans.
“You bastards! If you don’t meet your quota, I’ll kill you!”
A vicious overseer and a cruel whip that treats us like cattle.
Lee Seok-hyun is the character with the highest probability of dying in the introduction, with a 63% mortality rate from the beginning.
It was a very desperate figure compared to most of the other characters who never died.
‘Ant Quarter.’
This is the name of the place where the children live.
“Hey bastard! You’re still in bed, aren’t you crazy?!”
thump thump thump.
Mannis walked over, snoring as if he didn’t like me lying there.
Seok-Hyun Lee starts the game with a scene that touches the supervisor’s temper.
If this was a game, the options would appear, but this was real, not a game.
So I spit out the most ideal answer here.
“I’m sorry. I misunderstood for a moment. I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again, so please take a look.”
Crouching down and apologizing like crazy in case I got hit was the best option.
At first Mannis entered the room and said he would kill him casually.
This was not a simple threat, but a hint from the game.
‘If you touch Manice’s heart, you will really die.’
Lee Seok-hyun is a character who can die as easily as a sunfish in this introduction.
Especially in the early part of the movie, there was a 50% chance of being killed by Manis, so I had no choice but to apologize here.
“You bastard…! Ummm… what’s Seok-hyun? You’re a good example, so I know you’ll only look after me this time!”
“Thank you. I will do my best.”
“Um, ok, so it should be…. um? What are you bastards! Did you see it? Hurry up and get back to work!”
At least, this is what it can be said that Lee Seok-hyun received preferential treatment like other characters.
He had a very good reputation with other guards, including Mannis, and he was a model guard.
[I have escaped the crisis of death. Will increases by 1.]
‘It’s crazy.’
A reward given immediately after escaping the situation.
It was very similar to Final Destiny.
‘…I’m not dreaming.’
I just had to admit it.
I entered Final Destiny.
It was also because he was possessed by the trash character Lee Seok-hyun.
‘…after’
If so, it was as if the goal had been decided.
Getting out of this game without dying.
‘You must escape.’
++++++++++++++++++
Lunch time after work in the morning.
I hurriedly finished my meal and went into my room to organize my thoughts.
‘It was said that even if you go into a tiger’s burrow, you can live if you are alert.’
It’s not a tiger’s den now, it’s an ant’s den, but anyway.
Because the meaning is consistent.
‘Yeah, maybe not the worst.’
The worst thing is that he was possessed by Lee Seok-hyun.
The fortunate thing is that I was the one who studied Lee Seok-hyun until he passed away.
‘The first goal is to escape from here.’
The place where Lee Seok-hyun is located is called the anthill.
A garbage-like place where orphans with nowhere to go are gathered and forced to work.
All the facilities are outdated and there are many things that are lacking, so most of them die before the age of ten.
‘If the ant den is the same as the game, it’s lucky.’
The question was how to escape.
The ant den is waking up at 6 a.m. – 12:00 – 1 pm Meal – Afternoon work – 6 – 7 pm Meal – 12 o’clock at night.
Of course, there are no holidays.
In other words, except for the time to eat and the time to sleep, he works all the time, and his main work is to dig magic stones.
When you clear a dungeon, a magic stone blooms in that spot, and you have the kids dig it up.
‘People who make a living by finding dungeons that have been cleared 10 years ago and digging up very small mana stones.’
They are called ants, and they hate that title so much that they refer to themselves as ‘the guard’.
Children say that they are taking on the sins of their parents, and they are verbally indoctrinated from an early age.
In fact, some of the children in the anthill think they are truly guilty of this brainwashing.
‘This is not important now.’
This was not the time to be immersed in trivial emotions.
As Pade is a rogue-like game, one mistake can lead to death.
So, staying alert was key.
First of all, I made up my mind to do what I could do right now.
First of all, my information.
“Status window.”
A statement that would be treated as a second-class soldier if spoken on Earth.
But what if it’s in the game?
—-
[Name] Lee Seok-hyun
[Main Skill] Find Ding Dong Dang [Seal]
[Sub Skill] None
[Stat] Will: 1
The other figures are the lowest among the general population.
[Status Abnormalities] Including hunger, thirst, malnutrition, osteoporosis, and other 21 diseases
[Other figures are not displayed because they are default or not.]
—-
A status window will pop up like this.
‘Early start is the worst.’
As mentioned above, Seok-Hyeon Lee is an all-random character, and all stats are set randomly.
That means that sometimes the beginning can be set stronger than the main character.
Such a possibility was given the worst stats.
‘…skills… huh?’
And the main and sub-skills that are empty as if it were too natural.
Wait, the main skill is sealed?
‘…? Are you crazy, this is real
Whatever goes wrong, it’s been wrong for a long time.
Where is the character whose main skill is sealed on the pad?
No matter how much I have it, the feeling of not using it and not using it even though I have it are different.
The main skill is a very essential element that must be present for any main character of Pade.
Why is that?
‘I don’t know why it was sealed.’
That skill that I used only twice while nurturing Lee Seok-hyun for 4 years.
I wouldn’t use it anyway, but whether to use it or not was a very important factor in the game.
‘Maybe then?’
Before entering the game, I remembered the message that [Find Ding-Dong-Dang] gave me a hint.
What if [Find Ding-Dong-Dang] is a one-time skill and it is sealed because of its influence?
‘When I first wrote it, it was just because the conditions for activation were not met… If it is activated, that one time is the end?’
This was a real case.
If this were the case, it would be difficult to play an active part in the main body even if the introduction was off.
‘No, let’s not look too far.’
I couldn’t even get past the introduction, but I’m already thinking about the main point.
Even turning the happiness circuit was too high.
Anyway, Lee Seok-hyun’s introduction didn’t require a main skill, so it didn’t matter right now.
‘It will become a real problem later.’
Anyway, now that we got the rough information, it was time to get through the situation.
Many people have suffered a lot while studying Lee Seok-hyun.
Because the level of difficulty of nurturing is different from other characters.
But even the rewards are huge? It wasn’t like that.
‘Lee Seok-hyun has to go through a very practical and realistic stage.’
If the main character, not Lee Seok-hyun, was in the same situation now.
He probably led the orphans to resist the guards and cause a wonderful revolt.
It must have been that he conquered the anthills and gained great fame at a young age and raised his fame.
But it wasn’t Lee Seok-hyun.
‘This is the key from here.’
It’s crazy to work with orphans and do something.
It was suicide to ask for anything from the kids who dig dirt with their teeth because they didn’t have the power to mine magic stones.
If so, what should I do?
That’s the way.
“Manis, can I give you a massage?”
“Huh? What suddenly?”
“You look very tired, so I came here to give you a massage, hehe.”
Sucking the butthole of the jailer.
You don’t have to suck for a long time, just for a while, it’s like getting down on your knees to really gain momentum.
But the problem was that Mannis was very suspicious.
He squinted his eyes and doubted me when I was doing something I wouldn’t normally do.
“You bastard…”
gulp.
“Is it because of what happened this morning? As expected, the model number is different no matter what. Yes, give it a try.”
phew.
Fortunately, he averted the crisis because of his status as a model-super.
“Yep!”
I slowly cleared things up, rubbing Manice’s shoulder.
I couldn’t use the skill right away, so I had to find a hidden skill, and I had to escape the anthill.
‘If you only find hidden skills, you’ll really hit them all.’
If that’s the time for a jailer or something, I’d be able to become a gangster in the beginning.
Now was the time to bend the knee for a very brief moment.
