Chapter 1 – My Gamechin is a Returner
One
“Oh.”
Looking at the computer, I let out a cheerful sound.
No, there is no such thing as lightness.
Because the indicators appearing on the screen meant the abyss of the coin I put in.
I found out today
That I have no talent for coins.
“It’s tight.”
Realizing that the life I risked for my dream had gone to hell, I felt tired and placed the back of my hand on my face.
Just looking at it, my head was pounding, and I couldn’t get my mind back.
what about
That was the last money I had left.
I saw a game machine with the label ‘VR’ next to me, with my eyes spinning under the back of my hand.
Price 875,000 won in Korea.
A game machine that can run the world’s first proper VR RPG game Road of Academy.
It’s expensive, but I still don’t regret buying it so far.
Because everything I’ve done in the game meant a lot to me.
It’s already been 5 years since the game machine, but thanks to the hard work and the blowing up, the guy shined even today.
And the light was making my heart flutter.
‘Should I sell?’
Right now, even tomorrow’s rent is a tight yard.
I drank the part-time job I earned yesterday and slammed everything into a coin, and this happened, so I put my hand on my forehead.
Can not be done.
Rather, let’s try another way.
‘Should I sell an item?’
To cool off my aching head, I decided to just turn on the game.
If it wasn’t, I thought I’d go check the water temperature of the Han River right now.
I put the game console on my head, closed my eyes, and after a while, the character selection window appeared.
I have three characters to choose from.
After I selected one of them, after a while it was loaded and I was able to enter the game.
A dazzling sword and black helmet.
Looking at the occupation column marked Black Knight, I stretched lightly.
It’s something I always do when I enter Lord of Academy, and I used to feel that I was in the game through this process.
[ Black Ayu : Domi-hyung, welcome. ]
At that moment, a familiar chat caught my eye.
In the guild-only chat room I created, two people were online, and one of them, Ayu, was chatting.
[ Do Re Mi Fa Solo : Ha ha ]
[ Black Ayu : Hahahaha do you want to play Durang today? i have time ]
[ Do Re Mi Fa Solo : No, I came to the templar. ]
[ Black Ayu : Tem? what good did you eat? ]
[ Do Re Mi Fa Solo : No, the coin is gone zz I have no money to pay the rent today ]
[ Black Ayu : Hyung, isn’t that the time to laugh? ]
When I told you about my situation, Ayu showed a slightly serious reaction.
Ayu, who is a game friend, has known me for this year and it has already been 4 years.
It was Ayu, who I had never met in real life, but knew my circumstances well, and as a result, I had told him various things, so I was genuinely worried as I am now.
[ Do Re Mi Fa Solo : So I’m going to dispose of the items. Selling even the black sword I’m wearing. ]
[ Black Ayu: No, how did you make that? How much money did you spend on strengthening? That’s what I strengthened while going back together. ]
[ Do Re Mi Fa Solo : If you sell it, I will give you some money. ]
[ Black Ayu : I don’t need it. Brother, isn’t the situation more serious than that? ]
Seeing Ayu who cares so much makes me feel a little more at ease.
There is at least one guy who really cares about me in this desolate world.
( Hard to know has logged in. )
At that moment, another nickname appeared in the chat window.
[ Hard to know : Jjimbaek ]
[ Do Re Mi Fa Solo : It’s 12 o’clock now. ]
[ Hard to know : I was busy with work yesterday ]
[ Black Ayu : Ahh noona haha. But noona Do Re Mi Fa Solo hyung, a big problem happened. I don’t even have the money to pay the rent. You’ll be kicked out of the house soon. ]
[ Hard to know : ? Gilma true? ]
[ Do Re Mi Fa Solo : Haha.. ]
[ Hard to know : When to laugh now? Call the account and shoot something urgent ]
I paused at the ensuing chat.
Please call the account right away.
Although I am well aware of how hard to know is usually used, she is the same age as me at best.
In the meantime, I’ve spent as much time with Ayu as I did, but at best, a girl of the same age as me.
Even if my pride wasn’t feeding me, I didn’t want to be a nuisance.
[ Do Re Mi Fa Solo : It’s okay. I’ll fix it. ]
[ Hard to know : No interest. i have a lot of money ]
[ Do Re Mi Fa Solo : Anyway ]
[Hard to know: ㅡㅡ If you don’t receive money, go find it. ]
How did I come here without knowing where I live?
I watched the chat questioningly, always saying it was okay and declined.
“brother!”
While we were chatting like that, Ayu came to see my character’s location.
She has red double-breasted hair and large breasts.
No matter how much effort went into customizing the game, a character created just like YooA, a member of the idol Black Star, ran in front of me.
Of course, it is the dark man who moves that character.
“Really, don’t do that and take my money. I will lend you money.”
“Why are you like this?”
I, who had previously refused Hard to Know’s money, showed embarrassment at the suggestion that Ayu would lend it to me this time.
What kind of money does Ayu, who just turned 20 this year, have?
‘No, considering the money that is poured into idol virtues, it’s not like it’s missing.’
Still, it’s a close brother’s money.
You can’t take money from your nose.
“Brother, stop being proud of yourself! I know my brother well. at university… … .”
“Aww.”
When I stopped speaking, Ayu flinched and lowered her head.
Then he licked his lips as if he had made a mistake.
Because the character was so pretty, the figure looked cute, but in my mind as a man, the action was meaningless.
“If I really don’t like it, I will sell the game console to solve it. don’t worry.”
“Oh, no!”
At that moment, Ayu screamed like a scream.
Why is this guy suddenly like this?
As I blinked, Ayu desperately grabbed my cloak.
“If you don’t have a brother, who will play Durang with me!”
Oh, for very practical reasons.
“Ah?”
“Ah, noona is serious about Rank. I die.”
“No, I’m serious too.”
“Because my brother gives me back as a wealthy girl.”
Ayu began to mumble as she clashed her fingers in the air.
It seemed quite a shock to say that I could close the game.
“Anyway, don’t quit the game. Are you going to abandon all our guild members?”
“You throw it away. It’s just handing over the guild leader.”
“This is our only relationship!?”
Having said that, I have nothing to say.
To me, a relationship created as a proud guild is precious.
It is a relationship that has been going on for five years.
It’s rare to have friends like this in real life, and above all, being in a game was fun for me.
But reality keeps getting tighter.
My life has been completely ruined since I started working in college.
I didn’t do anything to a girl in the same department, but I was accused of s*xually harassing and had to drop out of school.
No matter how much I insisted on my innocence, no one believed me because of the contempt I received at the department and the woman’s political qualities, so I left school with a f*cking heart.
No, it must have been the woman’s background that didn’t believe me.
‘The daughter of the president of JCM, the most successful hunter company in Korea.’
A portal phenomenon that began to occur after the ‘Tower of the Apocalypse’ suddenly appeared all over the world.
And it was the best company in Korea to manage the psychic hunters who appeared at the same time.
I still remember.
“Now do you understand the subject? No matter how good you are, no matter how talented you are, if you get out of my sight in Korea, you’ll be f*cked.”
The words of that woman who smiled at me on the way home after giving out her resignation letter.
And damn, even if I went to law and claimed innocence, I could have predicted my future.
No matter who side the court is on.
Is it the daughter of the president of Korea’s top hunter company?
Is it a dropout who lost his parents through a portal and has nothing?
Wasn’t the result too obvious?
‘You bastard, that bitch trying to freeride a task is wrong. Am I wrong for pointing that out?’
The university I attended is the best Hunter University in Korea with numerous departments related to hunters.
I don’t know how far the woman’s breath worked, but there was no Hunter-related company that I could enter after dropping out in the middle.
and currently.
Feeling the wise time in my life, I fell in love with the game and got to where I am today.
26 years old, unemployed unemployed.
The only thing that is there is the fact that he is running a guild that ranks 29th in the Lord of Academy master rank and ranks in the game.
Writing it down makes me sad.
Of course, Ayu doesn’t know all of this.
He knows some.
As much as I quit college because of an unfair job.
It was a response to knowing that it would be meaningless to tell this story to others.
At that moment, my stomach started rumbling.
It felt like it came because I could feel the hunger in my body even after entering the game.
“okay. Now that the rent has been paid, why don’t you buy me some rice?”
“Uh, Bob?”
Ayu looked at me with her eyes wide open.
He seemed a little confused by the word Bob.
Is it like buying rice while rent is rising?
I wish I could just shoot one as a gift card.
Hearing my words, Ayu folded her arms as if thinking seriously.
Thanks to that, my chest was highlighted, but I didn’t pay much attention to it because it was a character.
At that moment, Ayu nodded as if he had made a decision.
“okay. Because I miss you hyung someday too!”
huh?
Is the story like that?
Hearing Ayu’s words, I blinked.
I thought they would shoot me with a gift card, but it seems that they interpreted my words as buying me food.
“Don’t panic when you see me instead.”
“Uh, well, I got it.”
I scratched my cheek when Ayu disconnected after telling me where to get out by 2 o’clock.
Since I knew Ayu’s number, there was no problem, but it was the first time I met him in real life.
‘What does it mean not to panic.’
Maybe it was because he was fat or his character was ugly.
I shrugged when I remembered the image of a devotee who lives crazy about games and idol virtues.
Whatever it was, it didn’t matter to me.
In the first place, I am not in a normal state.
‘I need to shave my beard.’
With such a light heart, I decided to go out to eat from Ayu.
I didn’t expect this to be the beginning of anything.
