ALL NOVEL chapter 2
Episode 2
“… … .”
Kim Kang-han touched the unfamiliar face in the mirror. No matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t his face.
“Huh, it’s too vivid to be a dream.”
There was no gamechang full of dark circles under the eyes.
Instead, a handsome young man took his place, except for the fact that his eyes were sharp.
If there was one unrealistic thing, it was a dot full of letters next to that face.
[Name: Jinhwan Oh]
– Level: 1
– There are two new notifications.
Jinhwan Oh?
It was a name I had never heard of.
‘It was obviously the name of a villain that appears in the game’s best by luck.’
Upon closer examination of the appearance, it was similar to the description in the novel.
“What are notifications?”
In response to the unfamiliar voice that came out of his own mouth, the text in the mirror moved strangely.
[New beginning]
– You entered the world of the game’s best by luck.
-Oh Jin-hwan is a young man with excellent abilities and potential. However, it is also a character that should have disappeared in the story development.
-If it is Kim Kang-han’s ability, I believe that through Oh Jin-hwan’s body, he will be able to change his fate in the world of the game’s best game.
– Please show the spirit that you confidently shouted to the artist through Oh Jin-hwan’s body.
– Reward: Return to the original world, ???
“… … .”
Kim Kang-han couldn’t even utter a single word.
because it’s too crazy
‘What the hell is that writer doing?’
To really send them to the world of a novel?
Then, the situation was understandable.
Kim Kang-han is no longer Kim Kang-han, but possesses the body of a character named Oh Jin-hwan in the novel.
“… … Do you not have the right to veto?”
As if responding to a voice, a new notification comes to mind.
[your goal]
-Oh Jin-hwan is a character who has lived a typical failed life.
-Improve Jinhwan Oh’s life, and furthermore, take the top spot in the game world with luck.
-Start the main game ‘Horizon’ with luck as the first goal.
– As the second goal, achieve great achievements one step ahead of the main character.
[A new notification has arrived.]
[Start Horizon.]
-You came to conquer the world of the game’s best by luck. First of all, start Game Horizon as the first step.
-Compensation: 100,000 won
-Payment of Oh Jin-hwan’s debt.
-Jinhwan Oh tried to become a streamer in the past but failed. I was scammed by a big-time viewer and went into huge debt. Pay off all these debts.
– Reward: Health stat bonus
-Health improvement of Jinhwan Oh.
-Oh Jin-hwan was born with poor health. Improve this health as much as possible.
-Reward: Healing Potion Combination Scroll
‘What the hell is this… … .’
Quests fly like a game.
Apart from the first, the second and third are ridiculous.
‘By the way, is this guy in bad health?’
Kim Kang-han looked at Oh Jin-hwan in the mirror.
He is a good-looking and handsome man.
But is your health bad?
‘Originally, I look worse.’
Kim Kang-han frowned.
I don’t know how it happened.
But once it became X, it seems right.
* * *
Kim Gang-han, who roughly grasped the situation, first thoroughly grasped the surroundings of what kind of person Oh Jin-hwan was.
Of course, I looked into not only Oh Jin-hwan, but also the world itself, where I am now.
‘It looks similar, but it’s a different world.’
First of all, this is also Earth.
No country is different, civilization, culture, race… … . Most of them are the same.
But it’s definitely a different world.
‘A brand or a company… … . In the details, everything is different.’
First of all, the technology seemed to be a little better.
In the world where Kang-Han Kim lived, VR games were everything at best.
However, here, a full dive game that existed only in the imagination, that is, a virtual reality game, was commercialized.
‘… … First of all, if I want to follow the quest, I’ll have to buy a virtual reality game console.’
Kim Kang-han sighed.
Currently, Oh Jin-hwan’s property is a room with a deposit of 1,000 and a monthly rent of 40.
And there was about 30 million won in cash.
‘As far as I know, the debt is 100 million.’
The only money I had to pay back a month was 1 million won.
‘If I spend money hastily, I might starve to death in this unknown world.’
First of all, 10 million won goes out for the game machine.
‘Equipment is not important.’
The high-end capsule is not only comfortable, but also has a much higher synchronization rate.
Of course, there are no leftovers.
‘First, order the capsules… … .’
Now, Kang-Han Kim had two weapons.
The first is this quest and Oh Jin-hwan’s healthy body.
The second is the knowledge in game novels brought from outside.
If you use these two weapons well.
A mission given by the writer.
It was difficult, but not impossible.
‘Debt isn’t such a big deal.’
Words that would be said by a game junkie who went all-in on the game!
… … same but not
In the first place, this was not a reckless way to spend money.
One thing is that this world is different from reality.
The point is that game items or assets are legally recognized.
‘In the original novel, I bought an apartment in Seoul as a game item.’
I also thought about stocks and coins.
But I soon gave up.
A world where corporate names and items have changed in reality.
If you put money in carelessly, you really end up sitting on the street.
In the first place, there is no seed money, so what?
“Well, then, have you come up with a plan?”
Grow in the game and earn money.
And pay off the debt with that money.
Kang-Han Kim stood up immediately.
“Let’s see how well virtual reality has come out.”
* * *
“Installation complete.”
“thank you.”
several days later.
Kim Kang-han stretched out in his newly acquired studio.
“This is it.”
A silver streamlined capsule placed in front of my eyes.
That small capsule is the price of a compact car.
But Kim Kang-han did not regret it.
What is the purpose of buying a car in the first place?
There are actual rides, but there is also a lot of self-satisfaction.
In that sense, Kim Kang-han was fully satisfied with this device.
‘Because I’ll experience it for the first time in my life.’
He reached the pinnacle position in the VR game ‘Dragon World’.
But there was always something missing.
I felt it every time my heart pounded beyond the goggle’s field of vision and every time I fell on the floor during a boss fight.
Can a true virtual reality game satisfy that thirst?
“connect.”
Kim Kang-han, who entered the capsule, said.
gulp. I heard the sound of swallowing… … . away
In the next moment, his eyes went blank.
In front of it, two message windows appeared.
– EEG registration in Horizon has been completed.
– Crossed the horizon.
A wide field of vision and a moving body.
Kim Kang-han opened his eyes wide and looked around.
‘oh… … .’
A space filled with pure white light on all sides.
Only Kim Kang-han stood in it.
“Is this really strange?”
It’s not just sight.
Even if you do push-ups or jumps, you can feel the sensation as if it were real.
It’s so realistic that I wonder if it’s not connected.
“No, this is not the time.”
Kim Kang-han started working immediately.
I chose a character and starting point and listened to the tutorial that followed.
Of course, it wasn’t something random.
‘The original novel clearly said that the beginning of this town was good.’
By luck, the main character of the game, Flush.
His luck is literally sky-high.
Even if you fall down on the road, you can get a rare item or a random skill.
He is the protagonist of heavenly fortune chosen by the times.
The ‘good spot’ verified by such a guy was in Kim Kang-han’s head.
‘I can’t make mistakes.’
Kim Kang-han completed all the courses by pointing out his memory.
Because of this, I stopped for a moment when I saw the last message.
-You have completed all tutorial courses.
– Please choose a nickname.
nickname?
it’s a nickname
“… … Fafnil.”
After pondering for a while, Kim Kang-han answered.
1 in the Dragon World PVE World Ranking.
It was the name of the pinnacle that shined at number 1 in PVP.
-It has been set as ‘Fafnil’.
– Crossed the horizon.
– You have entered the world of Horizon.
Dig.
A bright light covered my eyes again.
When the light disappeared, Kim Kang-han, or Fafnir, opened his eyes.
“… … wow.”
Unknowingly, I let out words of admiration.
* * *
– Arrived at Clover Village.
– You can interact with quests and NPCs, level up, use skills, etc.
– Nothing is set.
– Pioneer a new world and fill your pages with your own records.
A message appeared before the eyes of the people who arrived in the village.
But people didn’t have time to check that out.
A town square full of admiration and excitement!
In it, people showed various reactions.
“Wow, it really moves the way I want.”
“Hey! Side roll!”
“This is me… … ?”
“Wow, it really moves.”
From touching the body or doing gymnastic movements.
“Have you finished greeting the village chief?”
“uh? uh. I just did it.”
“Then let’s head south. They say it’s the fastest to catch a rabbit there and jump straight to the fox.”
I saw people moving straight away following the strategies they heard or saw.
“I think I will live because the fat is gone.”
“Wow, are your eyes wide open? How can you see without glasses… … .”
“Sup-ha. Sup-ha… … .”
“Wow, how much is this skewer? 3 copper? Give me 10!”
There were also people who were enjoying the new world itself.
‘The contents of the original novel are the same.’
As it is a setting that was created by science and technology ahead of its time, it created a world that is more realistic than reality.
It was the first time I had tasted such a world, so I was so excited.
Of course, Fafnir was also excited.
“Whoa.”
Fafnir inhaled.
You can feel the fresh air when walking on a country road.
The wind brushes through the cheeks.
Everything flows without a sense of incongruity.
‘This game… … ?’
If real VR games are Han River ramen, this is Buldak Stir-fried Ramen!
When I actually tried it, I felt a difference beyond that.
‘This is great!’
I hate the author enough to want to kill him.
But apart from that, the game itself.
‘It’s really well made.’
After thinking about it, Fafnir recalled the original novel.
The reaction of users who were lucky enough to be in the game’s best.
And even the development of the original novel.
‘Maybe everyone just hunted.’
Hunt while looking at the website’s strategy, and then hunt again!
I do my best to go to a big city as quickly as possible even for a second.
No wonder.
The quest given by the town is… … .
‘It was written that it was really filthy and not fun.’
He falls as an outsider in the rural countryside of reality.
If you put a title on the starting point, it felt exactly like that.
“Take the egg here, please.”
“I have to shear the sheep, but I am busy with other things. Can you do something for me?”
“Help me clean the barn! Urgent!”
Quests that are good if they are good, and bad if you say sh*t!
Even the reward was a meager amount of experience and copper.
– Completed the quest.
-Obtained 2 eggs.
-3 Copper obtained.
– Completed the quest.
-Obtained an old broom.
Working under the hot sun all day.
At best an egg or a broom?
‘Even a real farmer wouldn’t do that.’
The fight between the dragon and the knight that appeared in the advertisement on the TV screen.
An archmage who overturns the game on a large-scale battlefield alone.
Who would do it if they threw chicken poop and weeds at the users who wanted that kind of look.
‘That’s why everyone except Flush only hunted.’
In many other beginner villages, the choice was correct.
Even if you die, you will only gain experience and favorability.
You can’t even enter this place when you’re at a high level.
Trying to get a crush on the trainer at the training center is useless!
But this town was a little special.
‘There is a reason the original protagonist came here.’
A hidden piece that cannot be obtained from other starting points.
In the original novel, this village was one of the places to hide it.
‘In the first place, I can never catch up to the flush with the normal method.’
Fafnil conceded.
Flush is the king of luck.
Pick up rare items along the way, and get a lot of advanced quests in every village you stop by.
Even the heirs of large corporations and even the biggest players overseas are fading in front of them.
I can’t possibly catch up with him in a normal way.
So, use the ‘strategy book’ you have to your heart’s content.
‘That way I can go back to reality and argue with the author.’
It’s a bonus to get a reward.
to obtain a brilliant future.
And to prove your skills.
Fafnir raised a scythe.
“Don’t you need a hand to cut weeds?”
“Oh, farming was hard at the time… … . May I ask you a favor?”
“of course.”
It was the moment when a crazy farmer was born in Clover Village.
