My Game Friends Were Foreigners in Mythology

24 – The Sleeping Man at R’lye (1)

“Do I really need to go to the academy now?”

I told her about her sudden question.

No, isn’t it? Now that I’m far beyond S-class, is there any reason to waste my time going to the academy?

Until a while ago, it was an academy that I wanted to attend somehow, but now it has degenerated into an existence that doesn’t matter whether it exists or not.

“It doesn’t matter.”

To my words, Nyala Thotep responded with a shrug of her shoulders.

“You don’t have to go to the academy anymore. You have to learn something to learn. But.”

She pretended to respond to her question, then said.

“Humans seem to value specs. There will be very few guys who will use beggars who haven’t even graduated from the academy… I’m guessing.”

“That’s right…”

High abilities come with high specifications.

Everyone trusts a prestigious university in the Seoul area rather than a graduate from a provincial college.

There is no doubt that I went to that university because I had the ability.

‘There’s no such thing as me.’

There will be very few…Not at all, who suddenly grew up like me and came to have abilities that didn’t fit the specifications.

That means you have to go to the academy even if you don’t like it.

‘What I’m most worried about is Dalian.’

Since I acquired this power, I have never used it.

Yehwa It was so hard that all my energy was sucked out just by raising children.

What would happen if we sparred in such a state?

If you do not adjust your strength, the opponent’s head will explode.

“Whoa…”

Turb, tumble.

I was wrapped up in all sorts of worries, and after barely walking, I somehow arrived at the academy.

“But why are you here?”

I turned her head and asked Nyarlathotep, who followed her to the academy.

My face felt hot because of how much attention I received on the way because of that overwhelming appearance.

“Your face looks dissatisfied like a beaten goldfish, so I followed you. Is there a problem?”

…Was I that worried face?

“No, go in now.”

“If guests come, it’s polite to serve them tea…”

“This is not my home.”

Swoop.

As I pushed on Nyarlathotep’s little back, she mumbled something and started walking towards my house.

Then I have to go to the academy now too.

“Whoa.”

She sighed naturally at the rushing worries, but as Nyala Totep said, she had to build up her specs, so she took a heavy step.

[1 – B]

It’s always a strange place.

It must have been unfamiliar since I had just arrived, but the fact that I, who was in Class F, came to Class B was a strange thing in itself.

In the story of the beggar and the prince, you suddenly feel like a prince.

The current situation was rather uncomfortable because of the sudden rise in status.

Kikik.

When I swallowed my saliva and opened the door, I saw a class with a completely different atmosphere from Class F.

If Class F is a low-key class and Class D is a general high school, then this place feels like a special purpose high school.

Even though it was obviously no different from the other class members, it seemed like an aura was coming out that said something like ‘I’m strong’.

Now they are like ants to me, but I still felt confident.

“Welcome!”

I sat down today looking around a new place.

Then Iris vomited towards her bright face, she said.

‘Can I come openly like this?’

No matter how bad her reputation may be, she still has a thing called ‘people’s eyes’.

She always had a dark face and her self-esteem was at rock bottom. If she suddenly came up to me with a bright face, what would be her reaction?

“You came late, so I thought you weren’t coming today!”

“Ah… Yes.”

After giving a rough answer, I whispered in her ear as I got up and pretended to go to the bathroom.

-Don’t act like a master-servant relationship at the academy. Others misunderstand.

Anyone who likes to gossip about humans.

There are guys everywhere, whether it’s an official or a cerebral one, if they think it’s interesting or fun, they’ll spread it as far as their feet can reach.

If this happens repeatedly, strange rumors will start to circulate in the academy before long.

-At the academy, no more, no less, just friends.

“…! Got it.”

Iris answered my words with a low voice.

First of all, I woke up pretending to go somewhere, so I went outside with a tumbler to drink water.

“Cadet Kim Hyeon-seong?”

“Hmm?”

At that time, someone from behind spoke in a surprised voice.

I turned around and saw a familiar face.

‘Someone told me.’

I was the professor in charge of Class B.

She hadn’t been in Class B for a while, but she was one of those people who stopped trying to be friends with me, as if she thought I was an up-and-comer.

“I was so worried when he didn’t come out for 5 days…Did something happen at home?”

“…I’m mentally exhausted. I couldn’t even think of getting out after being stuck in bed for the past hour.”

“Oh, that shouldn’t be the case. If you’re physically or mentally fatigued, it’s important to get rid of it immediately.”

That’s right.

If fatigue has accumulated, it’s important to relieve it somehow.

‘That was a game for me.’

To me, games were a way to relieve mental stress.

If I give it back for an hour or two in the early morning after hard training, I can gain the strength to live tomorrow.

‘Besides, it’s nice to have met Nyarlathotep thanks to you.’

I also met benefactors who changed my life through the power of games.

To me, games were a means and a savior at the same time.

‘I’m going to go home and play f*cking games.’

Come to think of it, I haven’t been playing games lately because I’ve been busy.

Today, as soon as I get home, I will only play games until I pass out at dawn.

“First of all, I have to go to class, so come in.”

“I’ll just get some water and go in.”

“That’s right.”

Jorororok.

As I leaned the water bottle against the water purifier, a strong stream of water began to drip into it.

As I gained the power of the Constellation, I became a body that does not require basic human physiological reactions, but there was nothing I couldn’t eat if I wanted to eat it, so I accepted it.

Still, isn’t it pleasant to have cold water in your mouth?

Drreuk.

Filling a tumbler with water, I sneaked in through the back door of the classroom and sat down.

“Now, number one…”

The professor in charge of Class B simply started calling attendance.

There was an expression on his face that he had something to say.

‘What is it?’

He was originally a professor who had morning assemblies in the style of a speedster.

His motto is to hurry up and rest quickly. So he was the kind of professor many cadets liked.

But if he says he has something to say, it must be something serious.

“Attendance…Yes, that’s over.”

Tak, tak.

He gathered attention by hitting the lecture table with the attendance book, then hesitantly opened his mouth.

“I want to tell you one important thing.”

It looked serious and urgent, and the cadets looked at it, naturally overwhelmed.

“Do you know ‘deep sea phobia’?”

What kind of nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?

“Fear of the deep sea. In English, Thalassophobia is the phobia of fear of endless depths of water, such as the sea, lakes, and the deep sea.”

“I don’t know if it’s in this class, but it’s probably a phobia that one or two people in the whole school have. No one knows the reason, but the hypothesis is that it’s caused by fear hidden in the human evolutionary unconscious.”

“Human beings were born to live and breathe on land, so it’s natural for them to feel fear in the water where they can’t breathe.”

“But this is just a hypothesis, no one really knows. But.”

“I figured out why humans have such a deep sea phobia.”

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

“Humankind was instinctively afraid of ‘a being’. It sleeps and breathes in a deep, deep abyssal city that mankind has never pioneered. To exterminate foolish mankind at the time of destruction.”

“Deep phobia was the scream of the instincts of some sentient beings. It was a requiem that cried out: It’s coming! It’s about to awaken!”

“That’s why I suffer from deep sea phobia today. I’m afraid. I’m afraid. I’m afraid of water that is even a little deep…aaa!”

Puck!

-What, what?!

“Mu, water bucket! Who has a water bucket! Are you sure you aren’t afraid of living underwater?!”

“You don’t know! No! People all over the world don’t know! It’s waking up! It’s waking up from its thousand-year slumber, preparing to destroy mankind!”

Boom, bang, bang, bang!!

“It may come as a shock to you, but now you have to accept it!! The fact that it actually exists! Ah, that window! The window!!”

…

“How crazy!”

I was stunned by the madman’s performance for a moment, then I regained my senses and ran toward the lecture table.

“Ph’nglui Mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl FhtagnPh’nglui Mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl FhtagnPh’nglui Mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl FhtagnPh’nglui Mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl Fhtagn…”

f*ck!

Arriving at the lecture hall right away, I slapped the professor on the cheek and shouted.

“Professor has been attacked by mental ability!! Suppress it!!”

Damn it, what is this?
