Episode 39
“ah.”
I blinked. hot and humid As I exhale, my vision blurs.
As I groped my head, I touched something hard.
‘VR helmet.’
When I peeled it off, the dusty inside of the capsule was in front of me.
I sat on an old capsule chair with the cushions off to calm my thumping chest.
“Real? Really?”
Logging out after 30 days, I suddenly felt a surge of fear.
Is this really real? When I pressed that button and opened the capsule, wouldn’t too much have changed? I opened my mouth with a trembling heart.
“Status window open.”
Silence has arrived.
Neither familiar notifications nor system windows respond.
Only then did I realize. The fact that the logout was successful.
“Huh, I took a deep breath and pressed the button. The capsule door opened with a click. The stuffy air greets me.
“… … her.”
A small TV and a bed on a desk in a dark and narrow room. And one person who is asleep with the smell of alcohol.
“Khehehehehehehehe.”
I never thought that weird snoring would be so happy.
‘I’m back. to reality.’
as in memory As if the memories of the past 30 days were a dream.
After looking around the room blankly for a while, I approached Jinho hyung. And hit his neck with the blade of his hand.
f*ck!
“Khehe… … Kuck!”
If it wasn’t for this human snoring, there would be no crawling into the capsule. I held onto the struggling Jin-ho.
“Let’s get one more hit. No, just two.”
f*ck! f*ck!
“Ouch! Coheo!”
“People who know everything. And that’s the nobleman who is the secretary of the gosiwon.”
“… … sorry.”
“Let’s not blush. huh?”
bang.
When the door closed, Jinho sighed and turned around.
“Are you crazy?”
I hit the head before the tougher words came out.
“I’ll tell you in advance, it was self-defense.”
“What bullshit. did you turn?”
“It is perfectly normal.”
“But why would you cut the neck of a person who sleeps well… … thump thump.
The man next door knocked on the wall. Judging from the beat and intensity, it contained the meaning of ‘I want to kill you. Jinho hyung lowered his voice.
“Why are you f*cking? Even this morning.”
“dawn?”
“Yeah, you crazy bastard. It’s only three o’clock now.”
Jinho-hyung held out his cell phone with an expression of excitement.
July 25th. AM 3:02. After checking the date and time, I opened my mouth.
‘It’s only been three hours?’
One month in Moorim. It’s been exactly 30 days, but in reality, only three hours have passed.
“… … brother.”
“Don’t tell me. My throat hurts.”
“What is a typical game capsule time multiplier?”
“A guy like Hong Gil-dong? this is it The topic of conversation flashes in East and West. very “
“How much?”
“uh?”
When I asked with a hard face, Jinho-hyung, who was momentarily taken aback, answered.
“Five to one of the newest capsules released last month? Probably.”
“What exactly are those five to one?”
“What? Five hours in the game feels like an hour has passed in real life.”
driving me crazy.
“More than that?”
“No, there is a limit to that with current technology… … But why are you asking this?”
Because something unbelievable happened.
‘How should I accept this.’
Looking at it again, the old capsule. That junk that was made more than 20 years ago far surpassed the current technology.
Just three hours in 30 days.
How much is it in terms of time scale? I can’t even count because I’m out of my mind.
“It hits the goal.”
“what?”
It’s something I can’t quite comprehend in my head. If it was Jinho hyung, wouldn’t there be an answer to something? I hesitated for a moment, then opened my mouth.

“I went into that capsule a month ago, no, three hours ago…
I have a lot to say because I’ve been through so many things. After hearing all the stories, Jin-ho remained silent for a while.
And threw out a word.
“It hits the goal.”
“therefore. does this make sense Isn’t that an illegally modified capsule, something like that?”
“No, not capsules. you.”
“huh?”
Jinho hyung said with a serious face.
“I sincerely apologize, just. sorry. The snoring was so loud that it hit me. Be cool, you son of a bitch.”
“What, risking your life for a month because you can’t log out? Write a novel, very.”
Yes, somehow it worked out well. I sighed.
“Because it’s real.”
“Now, Tae-kyung, let’s think rationally.”
Jinho said in a serious tone.
“Someone slaps a good sleeper on the throat and wakes him up, and he says he was locked up in a game for a month. But when he looked at the clock, three hours passed? Capsules are junk that can be put in a museum?”
“It sounds crazy. I know, I understand. however… … “
“Well then, please understand me. My head hurts from the hangover, my throat hurts, and my heart hurts seeing you.”
“No, listen to me!”
thump thump.
The man next door lowered his voice before banging the wall to pieces.
“Then brother, try it yourself.”
“what?”
“You won’t believe it if you try it.”
There is nothing faster than experiencing it yourself. If you take it out in about 10 minutes, you’ll have no choice but to believe me.
Jinho stared at me intently before opening his mouth.
“Okay, let’s try it, then.”
Then, I put my body into a capsule and even put on a VR helmet. I told Jinho hyung, who grumbled that there was a musty smell inside the helmet.
“I’ll get it out right away. I’m stuck in Honghwaru
“You sound like Honghwaru. Close the capsule door.”
I’m curious about Jinho hyung’s expression after a while. I closed the capsule door, took out my phone and turned on the stopwatch function.
As soon as you hit the start button, the number jumps up quickly.
‘One second, two seconds… … 10 seconds.’
10 seconds in real life would be minutes or hours in the game.
By now, Honghwaru should be busy trying to figure out the situation… … .
rattle.
“uh?”
The door is open. What is it, why are you already here? no, how are you?
Seeing me embarrassed, Jinho sighed.
“What are you doing now?”
“Uh, huh?”
“What game are you playing when there is no power?”
what is this again
“The power doesn’t come on?”
“Look out of the way.”
In the meantime, Jinho-hyung opened the door and bent down under the capsule.
and picked up something.
“What do you think this looks like?”
it’s code Unplugged electrical cord.
Did you see something in vain? I rubbed my eyes with furious momentum, but nothing changed.
“Why is this… …
“Tae Kyung. Jin Tae-kyung You poor, pitiful man.”
Jinho said with a sad face.
“Go to the mental hospital as soon as you wake up. I go to my room.”
I stared blankly at Jin-ho’s back as he threw the power cord and left. There wasn’t even an electrical cord plugged in.
‘Then what game did I play?’
It feels like being possessed by a ghost. Goosebumps all over her body.
I lay in bed and thought.
‘Am I crazy?’
He played games for 30 days with a capsule that was not even plugged in.
Jinho hyung’s reaction is also understandable.
But everything that happened there
‘It’s all true.’
Jin Wi-gyeong, Wol-hwa, Hyuk Moo-jin and the general.
I remember each NPC’s face, their way of speaking and their actions. It was never my own delusion.
‘Then what’s the problem?’
There is only one answer. A game capsule made 27 years ago. The problem is that junk that retired from active duty a long time ago and should be in a museum.
In addition, the time when it was made is questionable. January 1, 2020.
The day the demon king Asmodeus fell at the hands of mankind.
‘Where are the capsule makers at that time?’
It is an era when billions of people died in a five-year war and monsters roamed the city.
‘Now, let’s make a game capsule!’ It is my opinion that those bastards who run the factory should be brought to court.
‘At that time, I thought the printing was wrong.’
In an instant, my body stiffened. print?
‘Product user manual!’
You forgot that important thing, you idiot.
I jumped up and started to turn the room upside down.
And finally, I was able to find a familiar little booklet under the bed.
[Product User Manual]
Product Name: Virtual Reality Connector.
Model Name: Ark – 2020.
Manufacturer: H Soft.
Date of Manufacture: January 1, 2020.
and the next page.
[caution]
– Players cannot arbitrarily log out.
– If you die while playing, you cannot resurrect.
A month ago, no, three hours ago, I threw a book here.
But this time it’s different. I turned the last page with trembling hands.
[ main function ]
– Customized capsules for one person only!
Upon user registration, the capsule becomes permanent, which is valid until death.
– Time multiplier adjustment for pleasant play! When you log in, real time passes very slowly. The reverse is also true.
– Synchronization system with characters! Users feel a greater sense of unity by synchronizing with the character.
“What’s this.”
I read the text with my eyes, but my brain can’t accept it. I started reading again from the beginning.
‘First of all. Belong forever.’
It literally means mine until the day I die. I made up my mind to destroy that dog-like capsule once the question was answered.
‘next. Time multiplier.’
This is the part I was most curious about. However, instead of an accurate number, only a vague expression such as ‘flowing very slowly’ was written.
Since the opposite was also true, time in the current game must be passing very slowly.
‘Then will the war continue?’
Suddenly, Qin Wei Qing came to mind. The betrayal of the elder is already a known fact, and he will try to stab you in the back at a critical moment. Did Hyuk Mu-jin and the scouting team tell Jin Wi-gyeong the news?
‘Oh, that’s a long way. Because the time scale has been reversed.’
More than anything, my nose is sleeping right now. I looked at the last major feature. However, unlike the previous one, I did not understand this even after reading it several times.
‘Synchronized with the character?’
I even searched the Korean dictionary just in case. That’s what I know.
That makes it sound even crazier.
‘How do I sync with the game character?’
I really don’t know this. In the end, it’s just one more question.
What’s certain is that I’m not crazy. I stretched out on the bed and read the front page of the booklet.
“producer. H Soft.”
Eventually, the road leads to one. Investigate these guys and you’ll find something. I searched the internet for Hsoft, but couldn’t find anything except that there was a p*rn production company with the same name.
I’ll lock the door first and think about it.
