Chapter 0 – Prologue
There is a game called Lucedia Phantasm.
Chewdeok An open world action game where you fight by directly manipulating high-quality cartoon-rendered graphic characters that seem to have been translated directly from 2D illustrations into 3D.
At the time of release, the game captured users with its high-quality visuals compared to other games, as well as its extensive story and characters.
It is a game that started in the late teens and poured all of the youth of the 20s into it.
Lucedia Phantasm.
In short, Rupan was thought to be the best game to enjoy as a hobby, posting favorable reviews, complaints, joke drips, and trivial nonsense in the community.
Most users in the community probably felt the same way as me.
“Are you kidding me?”
Until the event boss event known as the final boss.
Game operation for over 10 years.
Since the game has become a huge hit, the game company is trying to lengthen the main story as much as possible.
Users are not particularly dissatisfied with that.
As the story continues, there are more things to enjoy, and even though it is not the main story, event stories and sub-stories are added periodically to relieve boredom.
Moreover, since the character that plays the main role in the event story appears in the gacha, time passes quickly as you study the strategy and training for that character.
Above all, the event story is fun, but the main character of that fun story appears as a gacha?
How can I keep quiet about this?
The game was so well received in the community that it was always said that the game always held the story hostage to make you buy characters.
But 10 years is a long time.
No matter how much you stretch, stretch, or scale it up, the main story has an end in the end.
Unlike games that fail before even completing the story due to low sales, Lucedia Phantasm was a game that had a long life even though it was less popular than before.
By the way.
Arriving at the end of the long-awaited main story…
“Why are you doing such a piece of shit!”
In Lucedia Phantasm, there is a being called the Demon Lord of Chaos who always appears from the beginning as a piece of cake.
According to the setting, it is an evil entity that spreads the power of chaos and seeks to lead the world to destruction.
A being that sometimes corrupts people with its powerful presence and power and turns them into its subordinates.
An entity that is constantly thrown at you to the extent that an entity called the Apostle of Chaos appears as a boss every now and then in the main story.
And the boss of this last main story, the battle to subdue the Demon King of Chaos, is the Demon King.
The final main story is a two-week battle to subdue the Demon Lord of Chaos in the form of an event.
13 days since the event started.
No one has defeated the Demon King.
Even I, a nuclear tax collector.
I draw all the characters, complete all the final training, reach max level, raise all skill levels to the limit, and in the case of other event bosses, even I make combinations and cut them in 3 seconds.
I was unable to defeat the main story boss, the Demon Lord of Chaos.
“Aaaaah!”
Even though I tried hundreds of times today, I couldn’t even reduce the Chaos Demon Lord’s stamina to a tenth and the character was completely destroyed.
Even if we tried to engage in a short-term battle with a combination that would produce the most damage, we failed as we were hit by an attack with an unavoidable pattern.
Even if you make it strong with a defense-oriented combination and pass the pattern, if the 20-minute time limit to catch the boss exceeds 20 minutes, you will be wiped out using an instant kill.
I kept trying various combinations with different characters, but they were all useless.
Unable to resist, I turn on the community and write a post.
[What is this fucking game?]
-Fuck, no matter what combination I use, I can’t break it. Is there a problem with the production crew?
Yes, black cow. Are you still trying?
ㄴReal shit game kekeke Is this a game kekeke
ㄴThis is a manga game company that has been listening to Godgames for a long time and then threw it all away with one event
Even Real can’t break it? Aren’t you so fucking mean?
The bulletin board is already full of posts full of anger like mine.
Of course it is.
It’s been going well so far, but now that this is the final boss event, it’s bound to get even worse.
Mr. B, aren’t you the person who always posts videos of a few seconds of the boss? Why can’t I wake up?
ㄴWriter: Because the company gave a boss like an asshole. Is 1 trillion won worth of physical strength real? We can only cut 99 billion won
As if my reply was a hit, a lot of new posts were posted on the community.
[Nuclear tariff dam 99 billion lol]
-Wasn’t the previous event boss’s stamina of 1 billion? Is it possible to pay 99 billion damage?
ㄴYou can get it if you finish off the core characters and apply a lot of buffs. However, except for boss attacks, you must not be hit even once
Does that make sense? The pattern sucks
[Hey, the game production company president’s parents passed away]
-Fuck it, if you don’t, will you give me this boss?
ㄴPadrip Evande
This damn game is The Eva
Yes, your life is worse when you play games like this~
The community bulletin board was on fire and the event period ended with no one catching the Demon Lord of Chaos.
And.
[The world was destroyed by the hands of the Demon King of Chaos.]
All users saw a video of the entire world in the game being destroyed after just such words appeared in white letters on a black background.
It’s just such a ridiculous sight.
“This company is really crazy.”
Those words came out naturally.
After the video ends, only my character stands tall in the peaceful meadow as if nothing happened.
‘No, is there anything else? Are you saying the world is destroyed? Is the event over like this? What happens to the main story?’
At that time, the icon heading to the in-game store page began to glow brightly.
When I clicked on it, a more spectacular screen unfolded.
[New beginning]
[A world that has been destroyed. So many clues you missed. The goddess answered your earnest wish to save the world again. With the abilities you choose, go back in time, reconnect with each other, and save the world from the Demon Lord of Chaos this time.]
It was good up to this point.
Wow, I was able to overlook that shitty event and think it was actually preparation for this.
But.
[Purchase price: 57,000 won]
The crazy guys sold this for money and got off themselves.
“You crazy bastards! Have you really gone crazy? What are you doing after being treated like this with gacha? You’re getting paid for this!”
I pressed the purchase button.
“It’s my first time seeing such crazy bastards. What do you mean, it’s my first time!”
A skill selection window appears.
“A company like this needs to be cursed and go bankrupt to come to its senses!”
‘Oh, fuck. Which one should I choose?’
What you can choose is the type of passive skill.
I could only choose two.
After thinking for a while, I chose penetration and spear mastery.
“It’s nothing special and it’s not fun! I’ll put my gun on my back and file a complaint. This is it! Oh, there’s customization. Hmm…”
Normally, only male and female players were allowed to choose, and a new customization function was created, with the character chosen by the game company being the player’s alter ego.
It took about 2 hours to complete the karma.
Bangs that are slightly wavy and slightly reveal the left side of the forehead.
The point is the slightly long pigtail.
And although the face is fine, there is a scar on the torso.
It won’t be visible when you wear clothes anyway, but the concept is important.
Hair and eyes are black.
Most of them are different from other gacha characters with colorful hair and eyes.
I was thinking of making my skin purple in a stagnant style, with an afro perm, and making me look very obese…
In Lucedia Phantasm, the main character often appears in story cutscenes.
‘I don’t want to ruin the mood by just being stagnant in a serious scene.’
When all settings were completed, a ridiculous confirmation window popped up.
[The settings are correct. Do you really want to start?]
“Don’t be damned!”
I already bought it, but do I really want to start? Are they mocking the user until the end?
I pressed your button.
And the next moment white light emitted from the monitor.
I was possessed by the world in the game.
With the body of the character I created.
In addition to that.
As soon as I was possessed, I became completely distracted by the quest window in front of me.
[Final goal: Defeat the Demon Lord of Chaos.
Conservative: Failure to realize wish: Destruction of the world.]
“Seriously, don’t give a damn…”
I was only able to return home after beating the final boss, which I couldn’t even beat with an over-the-top account.
