Chapter 2 – #01. Start (2).

#01.Start.

Before leaving the Colosseum Square, we each packed the necessary weapons.
Very basic equipment was provided inside the Colosseum.

“Does it mean to take it before going out…? .”

Someone in the party muttered.

Among the listed equipment, I took a one-handed sword and shield.

—
《Crude Iron Sword (1★)》
《Crude Shield (1★)》
—

It was a combination that could flexibly switch between workshops and defenses.
Among the three tutorials, the swordfight had the highest survival rate.

Yu Da-hee also took a weapon.
One-handed sword and shield just like mine.
The moment you pick up a bow or spear that isn’t good enough, it’s certain to go straight to the goal.
In particular, I’ve seen too many cubs holding spears.

‘Because the gun needs to go up a little more…’

A gun is considered a fairly powerful weapon.
Because it has strong physical power, it was not given in the beginning.

“Where can I go?”
“There are many roads.”

Tutorial starting point.
Taecho Village is centered on the central Colosseum Square and the main road continues to the east, west, south, and north gates.
There are also complicated alleys, so it’s a perfect structure to get lost on your first trip.

“Uh…”
“Does everyone have a favorite direction?”

The Korean party of about 10 people showed indecisiveness from the start.
It’s a familiar picture, but I can’t help but feel like a dick.

This was so frustrating, so in the second round, I led them.
I was flattered by the fact that regression was possible.
The result is a disaster.
Tasted hell

Never do that again
It’s good for mental health to just let it go behind unconditionally.

“When it’s hard to decide, I think it’s better to follow in the direction everyone is going.”

Everyone seemed to have scattered in the direction they wanted to go, but most players moved in a similar direction.
No matter how strong a warrior you are, it’s the first time you’ve ever experienced being summoned to an unfamiliar place.
It is bound to be uneasy.

“Then over there… ?”

The man in charge of the leader asked stupidly.
It seemed to ask for consent.

“I think it’s good.”
“It doesn’t even look dangerous, so why don’t we go?”
“All right. Let’s move.”

The Korean party only noticed each other, and hated carrying arms.
Even before returning, it was so frustrating that it was hard to go around together.
I understand, but I couldn’t help it.

Dahee Yoo quietly followed the group.
He didn’t raise a suspicious eye.
I felt suspicious of the Korean party guys, especially me.

‘It’s fucked up.’

When you think about it, it was a natural result.
Does it make sense that you can avoid suspicion by wearing a mask?

But, what do you say?

Dahee Yoo can’t move recklessly.
By nature, she is very sensitive to revenge.

Is it right to be angry at a player you met before the regression and then to the same person after the regression?

She constantly thinks and thinks again.
As a result, Dahee Yoo views the two differently.
Because the events they have experienced are different, the personality they have built up will also be different, that’s what they think.

‘Then it’s normal to hesitate…’

Looking at Dahee Yoo’s eyes now, it wasn’t that of someone who hesitated.
If you get caught, you die without moving.

The novel genre has changed.
From a female protagonist’s regressive romance to a revenge play.

‘But what?’

Even if he kills me, if Yu Da-hee himself dies, I will return as well.
It means to be revived.

Just imagining it makes my fucking balls tremble.
Of course, I have no desire to die.

“I thought about it while walking.”

We stood in the middle of the boulevard.
Halfway between Colosseum Square and Gate.
There are several players running around.

“The ‘system’ here is very similar to a game.”

It is also a similar flow.
The man who assumes the role of leader is the first to adapt.
Learn about the ‘system’ and lead a Korean party.

‘It’s not all gone.’

Exactly 3 days later.
The pride built up because of Fuck Bob Deadman drove everyone to their deaths.

‘Me too…’

I read the novel, and the thought that I knew everything was eating away at my life.
If it wasn’t for the regression together, I would have just died like an extra 1.

Thanks for being careful.
I realized a lot.

The offense against Yu Da-hee was done after calculating everything.

“In the game, you have to hunt to level up. If you think of a similar structure…”
“You mean we have to hunt too?”
“Yes.”

I didn’t ask where.
Everyone knows it by feeling.

“… Let’s do some preparation with 1,000 coins.”

Because I can’t get out of my body.
We decided to go into a nearby shop and prepare for the hunt.

At that time, Dahee Yoo opened her mouth.

“I think it would be nice to save time. Let’s split up to do errands and gather at a set time.”

The state of the eyes somewhat returned.
They were still staring, but they seemed to be able to talk.

“Hmm… Wouldn’t it be dangerous… ?”

This is not a foreign country, but a place close to the outside world.
The other players are aliens, not aliens.

“They say players can’t harm each other in here. The ‘system’ told me.”

Dahee Yoo solved a piece of information.

—
[This is a safe area.]
[PK action is impossible.]
—

“Ah!”

The meaning of the message was clear.
As much as I understood ‘system’ as a game, I realized what ‘safe area’ meant.
A little wary of the alien players.
That was enough.

“Then…”
“One hour. I’ll meet you in an hour. The place…”
“Let’s go to the gate over there.”

He helped Dahee Yoo who was looking for a place while looking around.
The place I pointed to is the North Gate.
1st round, 2nd round, 3rd round.
I went north every time.

“… It’s good.”

Yu Da-hee’s eyes narrowed.
It wasn’t that I was suspicious of changing my attitude.
Rather, it was mixed with feelings of contempt, like seeing a bug.

‘Good… ?’

I want to see that pretty face distorted.
I wish those cheeky eyes would be colored with despair.

Go and save me

“See you in an hour.”
“Food, drinking water, and possibly armor. Let’s try to find what we need.”

The Korean party was scattered all over the place.
People going into alleys, people walking on the main streets, people hanging around.
And after a while, they got together.

Even if PK is impossible, traveling alone is lonely and scary.
It was a natural reaction.

However, me and Yu Da-hee stood in place.

“… Don’t go… ?”

Originally, it was normal to have a man who flirted with Yoo Da-hee.
In the novel, she even has a history of being courted by an elf, the standard of beauty.

But why are you standing still?
I didn’t see any intention of leaving.

“What is your name?”
“… This is Jinwoo Kim…”
“I’m Dahee Yoo.”

Dahee Yoo held out her hand.
Like a handshake.
I took that hand.
A soft touch felt through the palm of my hand.

Dahee Yu twiddled my hand.
Then, suddenly, I put on my fingertips.

I was startled and took my hand.

“What are you doing.”
“… Hand.”

Yu Da-hee’s eyes flashed.
It’s like you’ve realized something.
It was like a detective with a suspect in front of him.
I guess I got it wrong.

“What is your ideal type?”

Dahee Yoo jumped in.

“She’s short and petite, and she’s good at cooking.”
“…”

Dahee Yoo is a tall woman who can’t really cook.

“… Okay?”

She had no doubts.

“I think you are very calm. Mr. Jinwoo.”
“Well, even if you cry and cry, nothing will change, right?”
“You are not normal. I am still having a hard time.”
“… What can you do if you want to live?”

I accepted Dahee Yoo’s words and moved quickly.
It seemed like it would take longer.
It’s a run

First, I went into any store nearby.

“Why did you come here?”
“… Why are you following me…”
“Let’s go together. You don’t have to travel separately.”

A watchful eye.
Too burdensome

“Do you need anything, Player?”

The store owner greeted us.
Residents living in the ‘Tower of Struggle’.
They live by being given roles similar to NPCs.

I looked inside the store.
Since I was in a hurry, I didn’t even check what kind of store it was.

Thank god.
It was a condiment store that could be understood to some extent.

“Salt, just give me 50 coins.”

Dahee Yoo bought the necessary items.
If it’s 50 coins worth of salt, you can eat it all week long.

“Aren’t you?”
“… I came to buy some salt too.”
“Ah, would you like to have mine?”
“It’s for sharing.”

Dahee Yoo laughed and clicked her tongue.

“Yeah, that’s good. To share Then, shouldn’t Jinwoo buy one too?”

Because we share it together.
Dahee Yoo’s tackle was not a foul.

“What are you going to buy?”
“Hmm…”

Isn’t there something to soften the thorns that have been erected?
It’s not something a raped bastard would do, but I thought about it.

Things Dahee Yoo might like…

“I need to buy some candy.”
“Yes?”

Among the things that can be obtained for 50 coins, Dahee Yoo likes it.
On the 0th floor, Bryn’s candy.

“Let’s go.”

I took Dahee Yoo, who had a stupid face, and headed to Brin’s candy store.
