chapter 1
Episode 1
I denied it at first, but I had no choice but to accept it.
The fact that I was possessed in the game.
I looked around.
The room was dirty, as if a rat would jump out at any moment.
In a very narrow room with a bed that could collapse at any moment.
By the way… Where do you see this scene?
“Ah!”
It was only then that I remembered.
The place where Nam Do-yoon is now is the starting point for Nam Do-yoon.
“We need to get out of here right now.”
And I died countless times while playing as Nam Do-yoon in the room.
I need to get out of here right now.
As long as this character stays still here, every person he encounters is murder.
If I run into it, I will definitely die.
At that moment, a notification rang.
Tee-Ring-
A blue window appeared before my eyes.
[Stats]
Power-1
Agility-1
Stamina-1
HP -0 (+1)
[Skill]
[Skill 1-[‘Copy’ – You will be able to copy the skill you have seen once. (1 Day cooldown)
LV1. You can use 5% of the skill’s power.]]
[Skill 2- ‘Nam Doyoon’s unique magic can be used.]
[Skill 3-Lock]
…
Still, two skills were unlocked.
It was the same as the unlock skill I unlocked while playing the game before being possessed.
Is this…Is it the same as the character I used to play?
However, it is not enough.
To deal with that monster, you must have at least 10 unlocked skills.
Besides, his stats are terrible right now. It wouldn’t be strange at all if someone bumped into me right now and my bones would break.
If I meet that killer in my current state, I will die.
Unconditionally die.
I quickly ran to the door and grabbed the handle.
Then I turned the knob, but the door wouldn’t open.
It’s about to open! A little!
Kikki-
The door opened as I pushed harder.
I lived..
Now, all you have to do is open this door and get out safely.
But it was strange.
The door opened not to the side I applied the force to, but to the opposite side to which I applied the force.
Bang-
The door hit my forehead.
“Ah… “
I grabbed my forehead.
It hurts terribly.
Why did it open on the other side?
I looked ahead.
At that moment, I was shocked.
Her hair was so white that she even forgot about the pain on her forehead.
It’s ruined.
Every murder.
Numerous corpses strewn about in an abandoned factory.
And there were two men standing on top of it.
One stared at the man holding the sword with a bored expression on his gauntlet.
“……”
The man with the sword held the sword with both of her hands, and a blue aura instantly soared from her sword.
“Come. That’s enough to make a sword with mana. It would be perfect for entertainment.”
The man in the gauntlet snapped her finger.
Soon the man with the sword leaped at the man with the gauntlet at a speed that I could not see.
Then she swung the blue sword at the neck of her man in her gauntlet.
His means of defense, the gauntlet, was far from his neck.
The man with the sword smiled as if he was sure of his victory.
Ting-
However, the gauntlet came up in an instant and deflected the sword.
The eyes of the man with the sword went wide.
“Is this all?”
The man in the gauntlet looked ahead, frowning at her.
I couldn’t even see any movement.
It was as if the moving process was omitted.
The man with the sword seemed to have a hunch.
It is impossible to defeat the man in front of me.
It seemed clear that the previous attack was an attack in which he had poured his all into it.
He quickly threw down his sword and started running out of the factory.
“Ah… It’s really boring.”
The man in the gauntlet yawned and swung his fist forward as he stood still.
A distance that can’t be reached at all.
However, strangely, a large hole was pierced in the chest of the man who ran away.
“Cheuk.”
The man collapsed, spilling her blood.
I gulped.
I couldn’t even see the previous attack.
What the heck…. What happened?
The grim-looking gray-haired man grinned when he saw me.
Then it started coming toward me.
That man is a contract killer.
This world is mostly similar to the Earth I used to live in, but there are major differences.
Monsters and demons that appear only in fantasy worlds come out and attack humans.
The people who oppose him are ‘Hunters’.
‘Hunters’ are people chosen out of countless people, and have physical abilities and skills that far exceed ordinary people.
However, even at Seoul National University, where only those who are good at studying are gathered, rankings exist among hunters who collect monsters, as if the last place is divided into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.
Among them, ‘Cain’, a mercenary group that can only go to the top
‘Cain’ is proudly ranked in the TOP3 among numerous mercenaries.
At first glance, the mercenary corps seems like a place where ordinary mercenary work is received and handled, but in reality it is completely different.
Each of these mercenaries is a hired killer.
They only have 11 people. It is a place where you can join only through thorough verification.
That man is ‘Urvashi’, one of the 11 members of ‘Cain’
Dubuck-
He is approaching me step by step.
My heart starts beating faster and faster.
And before he knew it, his steps stopped.
At some point, he came in front of me.
He looked at me without speaking.
“There’s a little rat hiding there.”
Soon his huge arm was moving toward my face.
Is this how you die?
No. Absolutely not.
You have to survive somehow.
“Aren’t you Urbashi?”
Hearing those words, Urvashi’s fist stopped.
In an instant, his eyes narrowed.
“How do you know me?”
Yes, the information about each of them is highly confidential.
Their faces have not yet been revealed to the world.
In order to commission other employers, there are only videos showing off their skills while wearing masks that they put on their homepage.
Of course, it wasn’t a video that showed all the skills.
“I was able to find out by watching the video on the website of the ‘Cain’ mercenary group.”
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to know that he is Urvashi just by looking at the video.
However, I could tell.
Because I’ve seen his unmasked face countless times.
“I just saw that and knew… Hmm.”
Urbashi tilted his head.
It seemed that there was something unclear.
Originally, Urbashi is a person you shouldn’t meet here.
If we met here, this Nam Doyoon character would have died unconditionally.
And I restarted again.
However, if I die here, there is no guarantee that I will restart.
This life may be over.
That’s why I have to live.
In order to do that, you have to gradually arouse his interest.
“And isn’t one of the ‘Cain’ slayer dead now?”
Urbashi looked at this place with his eyes wide open.
“How do you know that?”
He said holding me tight by the neck.
“Tell me the truth. That information is still unknown to anyone other than the ‘Cain’ mercenary group. How do you know that?”
Kwaak-
I feel like my neck bones are about to be splattered by his hand.
“Kek keek-“
“If you tell me the right way, I’ll kill you with ease. You know too much that you shouldn’t know. Who did you hear from?”
Urvashi’s voice began to grow hoarse.
Here he can only survive by bluffing plausibly.
That’s the best bluffing I can do right now.
Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately let the bluffing come out of my mouth.
“Because I am Evan’s biological son.”
“What?”
Hearing those words, Urvashi’s pupils started shaking.
Evan was one of the dead ‘Cain’ Slayers.
He was one of Urvashi’s few true friends.
And Evan told his friend Urvashi that he had a son.
‘Cain’s Mercenary Corps I said to Urbashi what I had never said to anyone else.
For him, Urbashi was a reliable friend.
And I can only survive by pretending to be his real son.
“My father always talked a lot about Mr. Urbashi. He was the only reliable comrade I could entrust my back to.”
Urbashi frowned in pain as the thought of Evan came to mind.
“If you are really Evan’s son, I will spare you. However, if you are an impersonator, know that you will not die gracefully.”
“I can prove it.”
“What?”
“Before that, start with this hand…”
I looked at the arms gripping my neck with a distressed expression on my face.
“Yes. Good. Prove it once.”
Urbashi immediately withdrew his hand and kept his arms crossed.
“I’m going to re-enact the one you just used to kill that man.
“Hoo-“
Urbashi looked at me with an interesting expression.
Evan’s main specialty was his genius in copying all the techniques he did once.
The best way to prove that he is his son is that he inherited Evan’s genius.
It would be impossible to do it normally, but I can.
[‘Copy’ – You will be able to copy the skill you have seen once. (1 Day cooldown)
LV1. Can produce 5% of the power of the skill.]
Because I have this skill.
“Then let’s start now.”
By the way, how do you use this? Does it come out if you take a similar posture?
I took a posture similar to the one he had taken, but there was no reaction at all.
Urvashi’s expression hardened.
Once you saw my sloppy posture, of course you would.
You need to find a way to use it quickly.
I immediately recalled the movements he had made in my head like a camera.
That moment. A notification window popped up.
[‘Copy’-Target: Do you want to use ‘Urvashi’-Y/N]
I looked at Y with my eyes.
Soon, my body moved automatically without my knowledge.
Surprisingly, it matched Urvashi’s movements that I had seen in my head.
As soon as I stretched out my fist, the floor cracked.
“Hmm…”
Urbashi licked his lips.
There seems to be something unclear.
Of course, it is impossible to be certain that he is Evan’s son simply by recreating his skills.
“Is this enough proof?”
“Hmm…”
He was still silent.
“May I go?”
“What?”
Urbashi frowned.
But he certainly won’t kill me.
He has a genius side that is no different from inheriting Evan’s ability that I showed him just now.
Seeing it won’t kill me.
I really won’t miss the possibility that I’m Evan’s son.
And it’s important for me to dig into that gap of possibility.
Urbashi pondered for a long time before opening his mouth.
“Okay. I’ll send it to you first. However, there are conditions.”
I swallowed and said.
“What is it?”
“Where are you going now?”
“‘This is Elpon Academy. The entrance exam is a little later, so I have to go now.”
This world is always moving towards destruction one step at a time, just as its name suggests is ‘prevent the destruction of this world’.
No matter how much Nam Do-yoon is a fraudulent character, it is impossible to prevent destruction alone.
You must block it with the main characters.
To do that, it is essential to enter the academy.
“Then take the test with the attendant I give you.”
“Yes?”
“Why don’t you like it?”
“No. All right.”
Now I have no choice but to do what I am told to do.
