chapter 1
Episode 1 Prologue
“If you twist it, you’ll see that you’re better at games than him.”
The man called the god of games, Kim Kang-han.
After writing a wrong comment once, you end up trapped in the world of a game fantasy novel.

“You kid, you should grow up healthy.”
For this reason, the father gave his belated son the name Kanghan.
Kang Han Kim. It was my wish that he would grow up healthy like his name.
Is it because of the wind? Kim Kang-han grew up in good health. Although he wasn’t strong like his name, he was a weakling who was sick of using his body.
Instead, other fields developed.
It was just a game.
“Hey, Kang Han-ah, you are really good!”
When I was in elementary school, I easily defeated middle and high school hyungs in the arcade.
“How do you do that?”
When I was in middle school, I went to a PC cafe. When Kang-Han Kim started playing, everyone from children to the elderly came to watch.
And when I became a high school student… … .
[A young man from Korea who won second place in the WGC (World Game Cyber) at the age of a high school student.]
[Kim Kang-han writes a new history of RPG.]
Kim Kang-han announced the beginning of the legend.
‘Wouldn’t it be like Lim Yo-hwan or Faker?’
Not only children of his age, but even pro gamers, who are said to be the best, started to show excellent grades.
Life in the future will be solid.
Kim Kang-han himself predicted the future like that.
It had to be. Right now, isn’t it the best skill in Korea, or even one of the best in the world?
‘Maybe I can become a legend.’
In my 20s, ambition was engraved in my bloody heart.
It seemed that the ambition would come true.
That was until I was taken to the Army Training Center at the age of 25.

Spread one wing to cover a city, spread the other and cover a mountain range in shadow.
dragon.
A great being that no human could dare to face.
A knight appeared before such a tyrant.
The knight rushed at the dragon, wielding a white spear that glowed softly in the sunlight.
It was a reckless rush. The dragon roared mockingly as it looked down at the small creature that dared to challenge it.
It was a fight that looked foolish to anyone.
In front of a dragon that destroys towers with a single flap of its wings and burns forests with a single breath, any lofty knight becomes less than an ant.
But the battle was tight.
White spears filled the battlefield. The article was astonishingly agile and also wonderfully accurate.
Its volume and area were so huge that it was incomparable to humans, and it evaded and blocked the dragon’s attack, which seemed impossible to evade or defend with a human body.
Wonder, it was itself.
The fight gradually became fiercer. Even while cities were crumbling and mountains were collapsing, the knight did not let go of his spear and pursued the enemy.
The dragon was exhausted. But the article was not. He was upright as if he had been there the first time.
‘This is the last time.’
Beyond the visor, the knight’s eyes shone. The white window emitted a brighter light than that.
coo-ooh!
The dragon’s colossal body finally fell to the ground.
A red knight stood between the fountains of blood.
“Whoa.”
The knight took off his visor.
In front of my eyes, the achievement was emerging as a situation board.
[quest]
[‘Dark Tyrant Valtalios’]
[clear.]
[Time: 00:07:41]
[Achieving SS rank.]
“Hey, that’s great.”
article. To be precise, Kim Kang-han, who was manipulating the knight, muttered through his VR goggles.
Dark tyrant Valtalios.
It was a terrifying quest that boasts the highest difficulty in the VR action game Dragon Hunter.
Cleared 30 minutes ago, enough to receive SS rank just by reviving once.
But Kim Kang-han never died.
‘Wouldn’t it be the first in the world to clear in 10 minutes?’
Kim Kang-han flirted and searched Mutube. the first one was right
“Okay, I can get some views!”
Kang-Han Kim tossed out his VR goggles and danced on the floor.
After that, I freaked out and lay down on the floor.
The number of times he challenged Baltalios to pull this record was hundreds of times.
I finally achieved my goal, but the only thing that came to me was futility.
‘How did I end up like this?’
Just a few years ago, I was looking forward to becoming a pro gamer and leaving behind immortal achievements.
The reality that came after serving in the military was a gutter.
The PC-console video game market, which had been dominating the world so far, has completely collapsed.
In just two years, VR games have completely taken over. Gaming with a mouse and keyboard has long since become obsolete.
Are there any pro gamers?
Of course, there was.
‘It’s because the reality is that I have to chase after them after I’m in the military.’
Kim Kang-han was talented.
The problem was that it was after he had given his talent to PC-online games.
VR games are similar to, but different from, PC online games.
The senses that you have to do as if you were moving your body directly through brain waves.
Kim Kang-han lacked the remaining talent to develop that sense to compete with young pro gamers.
Maybe it was because of my age.
‘Fortunately, the singles games were still talented enough to break world records.’
Kim Kang-han, 31 years old.
200,000 subscribers to the Mutube game master channel.
Quite a giant for a record-oriented recorder game channel.
There is no problem with eating and living.
However, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of emptiness.
‘I wasn’t expecting this level.’
The game was good.
To be honest, the control alone was extremely strong.
Dragon Hunter.
fantasy legend.
black soul.
It has broken various records in numerous VR games released over the past few years.
All single game.
That was the reason I was so confident about ‘control’.
Because no other user has been able to raise the record as much as he did.
Then what?
The only thing the world pays attention to is the so-called ‘inside’ games with professional leagues.
Kim Kang-han was just an amateur master who only received the support of maniacs.
‘It’s not that I couldn’t achieve it… … . obviously not… … .’
Kim Kang-han sighed and accessed the VR game League of Legends.
His tier is Grand Master.
it’s not that i can’t
Skills of the top 0.4% of the world.
But Kim Kang-han knew.
There was no way for a pro gamer to do this.
‘Last year, I just filmed Challenger, but my skills are getting worse.’
It’s a life that I didn’t have in my head except for games.
It’s hard to choose another path now.
How many times have you seen former pro gamer colleagues dumping their accumulated wealth into business or stocks, only to collect dust?
‘Songchungi should eat pine needles.’
Tsk.
Kim Kang-han turned on his smartphone.
My head hurt.
There is a little bit of video editing,
I had done all my work, so it was time to cool down a bit.
[Cocoa Page]
Web novel platform.
This was perfect for not moving and watching.
‘It’s all there.’
A few novels that I enjoyed reading and registered were shining.
Kim Kang-han’s expression darkened as he read slowly.
‘I didn’t even want to win this much.’
winning trophy.
As a progamer, that was the only thing I wanted.
‘I’m not some kind of gas.’
Back in the days when PC games were finally shining.
Kim Kang-han had almost reached world No. 1.
Each time, it was always the same person who appeared on the wall at the end.
Tricker.
Five years younger than Kim Kang-han, he was truly a genius in the game world.
‘If I had started a little earlier, I think I could win him too.’
Well, that’s all a thing of the past now.
The guy who was on a winning streak like that was caught up in the coin gate and was eating all kinds of curses.
I just wanted to win properly… … .
‘It can’t be helped because time has passed.’
Kim Kang-han opened the last work he had read.
A game fantasy titled ‘By luck, the best game’.
It was about the main character becoming the best in the game by breaking numerous hidden pieces and quests through luck.
It’s a common cliché, but it’s a novel that’s gaining popularity in its own way with its cool development and decent setting.
‘where… … .’
I met a legendary boss monster this time, but it was until yesterday that I discovered the boss’s weakness thanks to luck.
‘Then let’s see how to catch him?’
Kang-Han Kim already had more than 50 ways to attack the boss in his head.
Kim Kang-han’s expression gradually changed strangely as he scrolled down with anticipation.
“What, why are you just leaving?”
After knowing the weakness, the main character escapes safely and goes to another area to find items necessary for the attack.
The novel ended there.
“Are you crazy?”
Immediately after sitting at the computer, Kang-Han Kim opened a comment window and started typing.
– This is the reader who has been reading the work so far. But today, there is something I can’t understand, so I’m leaving a comment.
Tata tatak, Kim Kang-han’s typing sound was so intense that even the cicadas around him died.
– Obviously, the main character had a personality that boldly took on challenges. But running away now doesn’t match the character I’ve seen so far… … . Once you have a weakness, shouldn’t you believe in luck and enter it boldly… … . The author himself destroys the character he created. Are you going to make other characters like this?
how much time has passed
Kim Kang-han, who completed a super-long comment of 5,800 characters, took a deep breath and pressed the enter key.
“I wrote everything.”
Kim Kang-han sighed and pressed F5 one after another with a huff.
After a while, the reaction started running.
-Buungeosa: The author must have an idea… … .Let’s refrain from comments like this.
-Solarion: ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ Hipster bottle ㅎ ㄸ. Have you ever played a virtual reality game? It’s historical evidence that it doesn’t really exist, so it’s a strategy, so I’m going to have a good time, so I’m going to have a good time.
Most of them were criticisms of Kang-Han Kim’s comments.
However, the reaction changed over time.
-fkdhahxh: Wow f*ck, this sounds like sh*t, but it seems to be right.
-Nagawondil: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, right now, writer shack, right? I’m trying to squeeze a refutation in my head, but if it’s according to the setting, it’s right, right?
-Pyopyohi: I came from a genre novel cafe. insect!
-Drum Bass: No matter how many comments that provoke a fight like this… … . The content itself is convincing. It would have been better if I had sent it to the author by note.
Three or four out of ten agreed with Kim Kang-han’s opinion.
The other comments were that they couldn’t just peel it off.
It was worth it.
In fact, Kang-Han Kim’s comment made several simulations in his head.
In other words, it was because the contents were persuasive to some extent.
“Yes, because it is.”
Kim Kang-han, who smiled triumphantly, was taken aback.
‘No, what am I doing?’
Kim Kang-han’s limbs drooped.
‘I can’t force my experience on others.’
Always keep your eyes level with yourself.
It is a bad habit that Kim Kang-han still has.
‘I need to clear it quickly. Before it becomes more controversial.’
Kang-Han Kim went to the computer to delete the comments, and found a notification floating on the screen.
‘Are those all replies?’
Pushing it all at once is good for your mental health.
Thinking so, Kim Kang-han’s eyes widened when he saw the notification at the top.
[Title: Hey, are you that good at games?]
By suez
Suez.
The author of ‘By luck, the best game’ sent a note directly.
‘Ah, is it late?’
Judging by the title, I thought I had already read the comments.
‘If I don’t even send an apology… … .’
Kim Kang-han sat down and clicked on the note.
At that moment, the contents that I had not read unfolded.
[Content: Then try it yourself!]
uh?
What are you trying to do yourself?
game?
Kim Kang-han’s head tilted.
“No, how to play a game in a game novel… … .”
At that moment, a light came on from the computer.
No, a thunderbolt struck the ceiling of the country house where Kim Kang-han was.
Lightning strikes in the dry sky!
When the lightning that flowed down the antenna disappeared, I couldn’t find Kim Kang-han inside the house even after washing my eyes and looking around.
