chapter 25
25 – The Sleeping Man at R’lye (2)
“f*ck, what the heck is this…”
After the situation was over, the academy decided to cancel all schedules and send the students home because the professor was beaten by the villain.
Thanks to that, I was forced to leave school, and as I returned home, I cursed at this absurd situation.
I let out a sigh.
I never thought that an academy professor would be beaten by a person with brainwashing powers.
It is said that a person who is the level of a professor is a super strong person who has enough to occupy the A class even among heroes.
It was said that if you brainwashed such an existence and send it to the academy, even the opponent would be a formidable person.
No, it must be at the level of looking at S-class beyond formidable.
Officially, there are 30 S-ranks.
However, this is a figure measured only by the manpower of the hero side, and if the area is expanded to the villain, the S-class will increase even more.
If the villain didn’t have the strongest ability in the first place, he would have been wiped out by the hero a long time ago.
The most famous villain is ‘Cartesia’, an S-class villain who united all Mexican cartels and occupied Mexico itself.
“Is it a declaration of war?”
To me, who has now reached the level of a constellation in a human body, it doesn’t matter anyway, but in a way, this could be said to be a declaration of war against the academy.
As I said earlier, brainwashing a professor means that you are close to S rank.
It’s safe to say that such a strong man did something without any benefit as a challenge to the academy.
‘A war may break out soon.’
Of course, since I’m on the hero side, I’ll support the academy.
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.
I knocked on the password for the door lock, which I can now type with my eyes closed, and opened the door.
“Dad aaa!!”
Then, Yehwa, who was watching TV as if she was curious, came running to me with her arms wide open.
f*ck this is life.
sh*t.
Dad, having enjoyed the overflowing paternal love for the first day, I asked Nyarlathotep, who was playing Pokemon on a handheld game console, holding Yehwa in my arms.
“Did you find out anything about him?”
“It’s a matter of course, but it didn’t have any physiological reactions like humans. And maybe it’s because you were born with your divine power, it seems like you’ve already awakened.”
“Awakened?!”
Nyarlathotep speaks indifferently.
However, what was contained in it was truly shocking.
“Yehwa, can you use magic?”
“Malayuk?”
When I lifted Yehwa in surprise, the guy tilted his head and looked at me.
Awakening is done after becoming an adult without exception.
No one in the world has awakened their abilities before reaching adulthood.
However, Nyarlathotep, who was usually very interested, found out about Yehwa’s awakening.
I woke up before I became an adult.
As Yehwa’s father, I also knew what this meant.
That means you start learning at least a few years faster than everyone else.
It was said that he received a time advantage that not even a genius can receive.
“You want to wipe out the world as soon as you grow up?
“Kyaaa!!”
Embarrassed at the sight of her already stirring up the house, I quickly proceeded with the order.
As soon as Yehwa was picked up by a fisherman and put down on the floor, the guy ran to Nyarlathotep again to see what was so good about it.
“Ask C’tuga to play with you…Why do you keep trying to cling to me…”
For some reason, he looked tired from the moment he entered.
Nyarlathotep was exhausted from playing with Yehwa in the morning.
“Why don’t you go to your dad and do this to me…”
“Kyaaa!”
First of all, since the child seems to like Nyarlathotep, I went into the room.
Parenting isn’t easy either. It’s a relief that Nyarlathotep took care of it, at least I almost took it lightly.
Tip.
When I entered the room and pressed the power button on the computer, a bright light came on the monitor along with the sound of the engine running.
Perhaps it has been a long time since I turned it on, the computer’s operating system is unfamiliar to me today.
The logo of the operating system with the motif of a window passed by, and the desktop filled the monitor.
[Cthulhu – ONLINE]
‘Cthulhu is also doing it.’
Cthulhu.
I met him the other day when I read the Necronomicon and was imprisoned in a strange underwater prison-like place.
And that was a story in reality, and it was quite a long time ago in terms of meeting through a game.
-What are you doing here without taking a seat?
The first meeting was a hunting ground in an RPG game.
It was a relationship that started when I started talking to her, feeling puzzled by her not finding a seat or hunting.
Looking at his taste in games or what he says, there is a part of him that is so-called ‘jjinta’, but he was a friend with a good heart.
To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be a god.
‘Shall we go together after a long time?’
A while ago at the academy, we made a promise to ‘today we’ll only play games until we pass out’, so we have to play games anyway.
But it’s not good to enjoy the game alone, so it was necessary to have someone to play with.
I was thinking of taking Ktuga or Nyarlathotep, but I changed my mind.
Leave the two of them playing with Yehwa, and today I’m going to play a game with Cthulhu.
Click, click.
I tried voice chatting with Cthulhu, whose green light was on by clicking the mouse.
Trulun turun, turulun turun.
A strange octopus-like icon of Cthulhu floated to the center, flickering and flickering along with a beum indicating that reception was going on.
Dun.
“Hello?”
But it wasn’t long before Cthulhu answered the phone and started talking.
-Tongue, Hyeon Seong-ah? Hey, it’s been a long time? What’s the matter?
A very soft and beautiful voice.
Cthulhu, who must have bewitched many men with his voice alone, stuttered and asked again today.
“No, let’s play a game together after a long time.”
-…! Gee, really? Leave Nyarlathotep and these guys alone and me…?
“There was only you.”
Currently, Cthulhu was the only one playing games in the Friends window.
Everyone else had something to do, so not a single one was running the game.
In other words, the only person who could play games with me was Cthulhu, the true lung that played games all day long.
-Gee, really? hehehe… I’m glad you said that.
‘…What?’
I wondered if it was something to be happy about not having anyone to play with, but I didn’t want to tackle it, so I shrugged and asked.
“So, have you found any interesting games lately? I want to try a new game after a long time.”
-Ah, there’s a game I’ve prepared for you to play when you come…Would you like to try it?
“Oops.”
Turun.
At the same time as my answer, a chat was posted on That’s Code.
[Cthulhu : https://dfsafd//asfadsf…]
It was a link to a new game company.
When I went to the link and looked at the list of games, there was nothing but a new game that was only released about a month ago.
The name of the game is ‘Boss Raid’.
It was a kind of survival game where you survive by killing bosses pouring out in succession.
“Sounds like fun. Let’s try it.”
The number of players is just right for 2-4 players.
It’s fun to do this with 4 people, but since Cthulhu is the only talent to work with, I decided to do it with 2 people.
-hehehe, okay. Download it.
The price of the game is 1,200 won.
It was a good enough amount to enjoy a day.
The game downloads as soon as you simply complete the payment.
It was downloading at a fast speed, probably because the capacity was light enough for the game screen and price.
Let’s chat about it and wait for about 5 minutes. The boss raid is all covered.
“Are you all covered?”
-Me, I installed everything before…
When I asked if Cthulhu was still downloading it, the answer came back that they had already installed it a long time ago.
Are you saying you were already sure of what to do with me?
No matter how you look at it, God is God. Intelligence should not be ignored.
[Outer Games]
When I ran the game, the logo of the game company appeared on the screen first.
Then, the title screen appeared with cartoon-style characters posing with heroic faces.
[Multi Player]
I pressed multi-game, but no server existed, probably because it was a game that wasn’t very popular.
[Cthulhu’s game: Hyunseong-ah, come in…!]
Except for the server created by Cthulhu, the empty server window reminded me of Manggame.
‘Isn’t the game good?’
As someone who enjoys playing major games rather than minor games, I was naturally anxious when there were few people.
If there are no people in the game, it means that it has already reached the end of its lifespan.
Click, click.
Once I ignored the anxiety and connected to the server, a character that appeared to be Cthulhu was standing ready.
[Cthulhu: Readyㅣㅣㅣㅣㅣ]
[Me: (Ready)]
[The game will start in 5 seconds.]
I pressed the ready button at Cthulhu’s urging, and the countdown started with the voice of the system.
But isn’t this old X free tts?
As the game started with a countdown from a familiar voice somewhere, Cthulhu spoke to me.
– Ki, I look forward to it. Right…?
“Well, yes.”
Still, it must be fun because it’s a game that Jinsung’s gamechanger Cthulhu picked up.
I warmed up and grabbed the keyboard and mouse.
