chapter 15
15 tue – yoke of fate (1)
“I don’t know what the bullshit is. I’ll report it.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
Oh Yoon-ah smirked.
Kang Do-yeon, who was about to turn around and run away, was frozen in place with a shocked face.
A strange sensation in which the body is not moving according to its own will, although it is clearly conscious.
“You must obey my orders. It’s only natural for a knight to listen to his master, right?”
“…what the hell are you doing?”
“It’s not just a game. It’s the secret of this world.”
Oh Yoon-ah forced her to sit on the bench.
In her panic, she had no choice but to look at the screen shown by Yoona Oh, who was sitting next to her.
“Hey, is it a movie?”
“I can’t. Warchief, I made it.”
Perhaps she liked the trembling voice, Oh Yoon-ah clasped her shoulders and raised her hand, then smiled and spoke to the phone.
Kang Do-yeon’s eyes widened in surprise at the scene that happened after that.
On the screen that looked like a scene from a movie, an old man with a long white beard bowed his head.
“What is this…”
“These people are my unit, my people. I met them for the first time recently, and I worked with them to help each other. What happened today is one of them.”
Yoona Oh slowly talked about the situation on the phone.
Of course, it was an incredible story.
Except now that his body doesn’t move at all with a single word.
Shocking stories continued to flow, but Kang Do-yeon was sweating hard to catch her mind.

“Why did you come in so late? Mom, you…”
“Gang Do-yeon!”
Gee, I just slipped sideways.
Even when the door was closed, the squeaking noise continued to be heard.
It wasn’t long before I heard the door close to the other side of the room.
Fortunately, does it end like this?
[Take a good look at your body as well as your surroundings. This episode is already out of the extreme. Most players and units will adapt to the app and wield their new powers]
“Like Jiyeon Cha. But we’re too slow?”
[Infinite possibilities, there must be a penalty for that]
We actually started from nothing.
Little by little, one small cell devours the bigger ones.
However, because of that, the pace was slow compared to the players who were already connected to some extent.
[But the growth rate of the corps is definitely explosive. And the more it grows, the faster it grows. No need to worry too much]
“I know that.”
Instead, we have such strong strengths.
I checked the screen.
The current legion was still preparing for war.
In the meantime, a living creature that was created on a trial basis came out with an egg torn out.
A stooped posture, elaborate forelimbs.
Although he was wearing a carapace, his body shape was obviously made from the rat he ate this time.
“Is this just an experiment?”
[Yes. It is certainly an interesting and attractive form, but the Legion decided that it would be better to keep the existing method for efficiency]
There was no mass production of soldiers based on that mouse.
Even in my opinion, it seemed right for the Legion to go in a direction that better utilizes their strengths.
And I don’t know exactly what those strengths are, but it wasn’t that.
[Are they aware of our existence and are wary of it?]
Destroying the 12-story staircase they were building a forward fortress at will.
The scout in the form of a small bee immediately followed the defeated and went up to the 13th floor.
There was also their fortress there.
Preparations for war were already in full swing.
[Even though the texture was different from ours, they seemed to have a lot to learn anyway. The only problem was…we couldn’t learn it]
The Legion had no time now.
They moved their forces before they had a tighter defense system.
[Still, the gluttony of the legion does not stop. Can’t learn by predation? Then you just have to watch and learn. The size of the corps is the brain of the corps. The learning and computing power of the corps that have grown so far is already transcendent]
The defensive lizards at the front set up solid armor.
After that, the main force marched one by one.
The catapults they shoot are useless.
Even the pieces of mushrooms that were lit on fire are meaningless.
[The artillery force behind the sturdy shield began to fire poison thorns that ripped the skin in the face of their attack]
The guys went down pick-pick.
The countermeasures against ranged attacks are poor.
Only then did I realize
They won’t be used to this kind of war.
[But we are not. We have been a war for survival from the beginning, and we will continue to evolve for war. The corps began to charge. New legionnaires have appeared]
As soon as they finished each other’s search battles, things started to turn in a hurry.
[It is obviously the same as the previous siege of the fortress. But unlike them, we grow. This siege will definitely be different from before.]
The corps, which had been running fiercely, began to split.
A living creature with the leg strength of a toad and a flea.
But the look was somehow creepy.
Investing all their abilities into one leg, they turned around and approached the fortress.
“Wow.”
And the moment the intersection hits.
It exploded its leg power at once.
A shock wave occurred and the leg force was enough to break even its own legs.
But that doesn’t matter.
This body was so deformed that it could not fly even with wings on, and there were no other organs, only a large pocket.
A pouch that can be sprayed with a concentrated strong acid solution.
When the pouch burst along with the body and the solution was sprayed everywhere, the soft skin of the mammal could not withstand the strong acid and burned.
[The fortress of those who did not respond properly began to be destroyed. Thanks to you, the momentum has been turned down. The waiting air combat troops began to attack the inside of the fortress]
“…are you done?”
Virtually a rematch.
The winner, of course, was ours to develop and use new tactical strategies.
Maybe the next fight will be like this.
They can’t win if they don’t respond to ever-changing tactics.
“I should give you a prize.”
I smiled and took my eyes off my phone.
Then I took out what was on the desk.
Protein, glucose candy and so on.
These were the items I prepared because I was sorry that I only spread trees every day.
I couldn’t do anything without a tag to fill 40kg just because of my pocket situation.
“By the way, what are the restrictions on other players? There must be no restrictions on how units can affect players.”
[Of course. In the first place, the limit according to the level is to limit the speed and to match the fairness, there are different conditions for each]
“..how do you know it’s fair?”
[Even if you think it’s unfair, is there a way?]
I was speechless. Well, I was always in the position of Eulin.
“a.”
I just took a picture of the prepared protein and glucose candy and sent it.
There are certainly more proteins among friends and comrades who bought and bought with rants to exercise.
“I really have to work part-time.”
I smiled as I looked at the bankbook that was slowly showing the floor.
The whole world is shaking, and life is at stake, and I have to work because I don’t have money.
Studying seems to have gone away anyway, so it seemed like I had to find something to do quickly.
“…what kind of money is this?”
However, my act of searching for a part-time job was stopped by Kang Do-yeon’s meaningful action that evening.
“reward.”
“What? What prize?”
“Just know that and accept it! It’s because you’re paying back what you’ve been receiving!”
He threw a bag of money at me and went into the room.
I opened the envelope, puzzled.
Ten pieces of golden paper.
How did he get such a large amount of money by a minor who doesn’t even have a part-time job?
“Hey. I’m not talking about gourmet, so be honest. Where did you get this from?”
I said quietly in front of the tightly closed door.
I want you to know that I’m serious now.
“Really… nothing…”
“Aren’t you going to open the door?”
My heart was impatient as it was hard to hold back my tears at the barely squeezing answer.
Especially since this is a kid who didn’t do it all of a sudden.
“It’s really nothing.”
Instead of an answer, a messenger arrived.
My face hardened.
But I didn’t work any harder here.
Now that little girl has grown to some degree.
You won’t open your mouth simply by yelling and yelling.
If I tell my mother… it’s all over on that day.
“A crime? Just say that.”
“It’s not like that. It’s just… doing something with a friend.”
“Maybe Coin?”
Nothing came to mind in my shallow mind.
It’s frustrating, but I don’t have an answer that comes to mind.
“If someone touches your body, it’s going to be really bad, so just be careful.”
“…yes.”
In the end, I heard only an answer, not an answer, and went back to the room.
what do you do with your friends Unlike me, that guy has so many friends that I didn’t get a good feel for it.
Right now, only male and female friends I know face to face would pass.
[Do you believe in fate?]
“What nonsense are you again?”
[The fate that befell your family… you will find out sooner or later]
“Please, why are you doing this again?”
I got annoyed and threw my phone on the bed.
