ALL NOVEL chapter 17
17 – Episode 17. Final Return (1)
[If you clear the game and meet the escape conditions, the game ends immediately and you return to reality.]
[Escape Condition 1: The attack rate of all heroines must exceed 95%.]
[Escape Condition 2: You must defeat the final boss ‘Draken’.]
The phrase I’ve seen so many times appears before my eyes again.
However, from now on, it is safe to assume that escape condition 1 does not exist.
I will never be associated with boring main heroines ever again.
Even if there is a risk of death, the only goal is to conquer the final boss.
The moment I woke up and woke up.
[If you do not meet the escape conditions when clearing the game, you can return to the starting point. Dontteulgyeopgeun wall tteotteukeuk Dingdangmmph]
Wow, this is a f*cking surprise.
Suddenly my vision was filled with letters and I felt like sh*t.
What on earth is going on?
I was momentarily surprised by System Chang’s unannounced strike.
“Keeek! My father’s enemy! Keek!”
As always, our Blynn rushes in, holding a club and shedding tears.
I just got the timing wrong.
“Be quiet! You’re thinking!”
“Keuek!”
Puck.
A cheerful sound rings out and Blynn falls over.
I was so angry that I unconsciously hit the top of his head with the blade of my hand…
Why is Blin lying down and not moving?
“Hey, wake up. You’re not dead, are you?”
“······.”
Seeing as the achievement hasn’t appeared, it looks like he hasn’t died.
No, maybe even the achievement window was broken.
Just in case, I continue to assess the situation by sitting down on the fallen Blin with a large hump on the top of his head.
“Status window.”

Then I thought it was just a simple text bug, but

“Wow, my eyes hurt.”
That doesn’t seem to be the case.
There was actually a broken part in the status window.
This was a window that was updated in real time and showed relationships with characters in the game, but it was completely lost.
‘This isn’t unusual.’
That’s the only error that stands out right away.
I am in good physical condition and all of my initial possessions are the same, so I don’t feel anything wrong except for a slightly creepy feeling.
But we cannot be completely reassured.
The part where the error appeared ominously was because it was a part that informed people that if they did not meet the escape conditions when clearing the game, they would return to the starting point.
“Isn’t this something that can no longer be returned?”
It is a system that has been exhaustively weighed against probabilities to the point where it has been able to create arbitrary settings.
There is no way that even a minor text error could have gone unnoticed.
If everything else is fine but the problem only occurs when that window pops up, there is no room for any other interpretation.
I can’t go back anymore.
If it doesn’t work out, they pick a heroine and run straight to the kiss, which means that the trick of returning is blocked.
When I think like that, my eyes become dark.
“Let’s think positively. Be positive.”
It’s a shame that the bug has been discovered now.
What if it happened when I was in the middle of memorizing the location and structure of the dungeon?
I probably had to attack the final boss without even being able to prepare sufficiently.
It is fortunate that the bug occurred now that we were fully prepared.
The worst was avoided.
I decided to think so.
“Nothing will change anyway.”
In any case, the goal does not change just because regression is prevented.
It was the same from the beginning.
Defeat the final boss and return home.
Avoiding the three main heroines who have nothing to gain from touching them.
It was just changed to allow only 1 coin clear.
Everything else is the same.
I’ve memorized everything about this game except for the final boss face, but I can’t seem to crack it?
‘I heard kids these days like difficult games? Raise the difficulty level! Let’s make a young game too!’
“Oh f*ck! Boss!!!”
I remember what the boss said back then and my mind becomes confused.
It is not that difficult to predict how the rpg team, which only obediently followed the boss’ words, would have set the difficulty level.
I would have just raised the level of difficulty, like opening the lid of a container of red pepper powder and throwing it in.
Uhehehe, since it is the final boss, there must be tension, right? It’s easy to imagine the scene of Phases 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… And being cut to pieces while doing so.
It’s really f*cked up.
The guy who only occasionally plays healing games has started to challenge end content exclusively for those who are addicted to games in the corner of their room.
Suddenly, my head hurts.
“I have to do it. What should I do…”
Even if you hold your head and think about it, there is nothing you can do.
It must be done.
You can only go home.
Although my voice was already full of moisture, I decided to stay strong.
If you think about it, I am now at the level of a game junkie.
It’s no different from playing games in full-dive VR for 12 years.
It’s been such a long time that I wonder if the system is slowly getting frustrated with me and blocking the regression.
Yes. If I don’t wake up this time, I’ll be dead.
There is nothing to say even if it is written on the tombstone, ‘I am an idiot who was trapped in a game for 12 years without being able to beat it.’
“Keeek… It’s so heavy I’m dying! Who’s up there?!”
“Uh. Are you awake?”
“Keeek! My father’s enemy! Keek!”
I felt like something was wriggling under my butt.
Blin woke up.
My eyes turn slightly red upon hearing the news that he is alive and not dead.
To be honest, how sad Blin must be too.
It feels unfair to lose my entire family, but it’s like a vending machine for achievement rewards that always dies from the beginning.
“Hey. Try to calm down.”
“Keok! Are you serious? You lost your father, older sister, and younger brother!”
“Why are you padding? You’ll get hurt…”
I don’t want to kill Blin in this episode.
Especially because it is the last time.
Of course, I am not in love with him, but considering that I have had peace of mind and body by carrying his wooden club as a holy relic, I owe him a lot.
“Kill it! Keek! Kieeek!”
“Blin, let’s do one thing with me. Your brother might help you avenge your family.”
“Keeck! How can you believe that?!”
Blin’s struggles gradually become weaker.
And Blin’s eyes, which had been filled with anger, gradually became more intelligent.
She asked why goblins have such a high intelligence, a fact she never even thought about when she was swearing.
If you have intelligence, conversation is possible.
“You have to get your money’s worth. I was destined to die anyway, so why not trust someone and die?”
“······.”
There was silence for a while.
Blin grabs my outstretched hand with a disapproving look on his face.

.
These days, there have been ugly rumors going around in the free adventurer area.
They say some assailant attacks in the middle of the night and steals all the property.
Even if I tried to fight back without sleeping, I was just overpowered and robbed by the guy.
That was roughly the rumor.
“hahahahaha! Are you an asshole? Are you being so foolish that you can just lay a trap and wait?”
“No, that bastard is so f*cking strong? He’s not at the level of an adventurer! He’s just flying around!”
At first, everyone was laughing at the guy who got hit.
However, as the night fell and victims continued to come out one by one, the situation took a turn.
“How did this happen? There was a trap set in front of the door, and suddenly a sword came through the door and destroyed the trap? It was like he had some sort of see-through ability!”
“Aren’t you using magic?”
“Why would a wizard play robbery in this vagabond town? If he could just breathe, he would make a lot more money than robbing here!”
“That’s right…”
All the adventurers who boasted of being strong were defeated.
The last sight they remember of the robber is a grotesque figure with a sack covering his face.
Everyone fainted without even having a chance to see their faces.
And when he woke up, without fail, all his belongings had been stolen.
The robber persistently targeted only adventurers and robbed them.
Because of this, an incident occurred in which citizens who used to collect protection taxes from adventurers praised the robbers, calling them righteous enemies.
Rumors are even spreading that a wizard under the instigation of the citizens has come to make all adventurers penniless.
It was instantaneous for fear to spread among the adventurers.
“I’ll deposit it. All my assets!”
“Customer. Your voice doesn’t suit our store, so I’m offended. Please leave.”
“Ah. If the employee says that, then we should follow suit.”
“I’ll take the next guest.”
“I am…!”
“Please leave.”
The Adventurer’s Guild was busy every day.
People who were afraid of being robbed too began to use the guild’s banking services.
The guild is staffed by not only S-class adventurers but also former wizards and knights who are always on guard.
It is safe if it is a guild.
That was everyone’s common perception.
“Keak! All the guards are down! Blin’s words are true!”
“Be quiet and follow me. We have to steal all the gold by the end of the night.”
“Where do we spend human money?”
“I can’t use it.”
“Then why on earth are you stealing?!”
“I steal because humans are in trouble!”
“I’m convinced! Kekekeke!”
That night.
For unknown reasons, all of the guild’s guards fainted and fell, and all of the warehouse’s triple locks were unlocked.
A horde of goblins entered inside without blood.
Under the guidance of Blynn, the spectacle unfolded as hundreds of goblins carried and carried sacks of gold in an orderly manner.
The sun rose and all the goblins retreated and disappeared.
And the adventurers only found the adventurer guild that had been consumed by fire and disappeared.
In front of the burned ruins.
When the employees tied with rope opened their eyes, there were a lot of angry adventurers crowding in front of them.
“How did this happen, employee!”
“Customer. Your voice is too loud. Please leave…”
“You crazy bastard! You still think you’re a big deal! Give me my money back!”
“My money too!”
The adventurers began beating the employees who had been obediently obedient until now.
It was as if I had been released from the strong hypnosis that the adventurer’s guild must endure.
The staff, who were still unconscious, were fighting back when the sounds of the adventurers’ hands being thrown loudly rang out.
A man leisurely left the free adventurer area with a smile on his face.
