I take revenge on those who cut me and ruined my game.
I will become the final boss and destroy this game.
I made up my mind to do so.
But then… …what on earth should I do?
* * *
The next morning, the first thing Mincheol did after waking up was to turn on the capsule PC.
A capsule PC is a computer that consists of a chair in which one person can sit comfortably and a large capsule-shaped sphere that surrounds the chair in all directions.
Virtual reality world. It was a widely commercialized device in the VR era that allowed you to dive into the so-called VR world.
Mincheol turned on the capsule PC and put on the headset that covered his face.
Immediately afterwards, his consciousness entered the VR world.
– Ah! You’re here, master!
As soon as he logged into his virtual home station, his personal AI, OASIS, came running towards him, waving its arms.
– I can’t tell you how worried I was when someone who was logged in for 16 hours every day didn’t come all day yesterday! Are you okay?
Mincheol was overcome with emotion as he looked down at the AI girl in a suit looking up at him with worried eyes.
Personal AI is expensive, and the higher the performance, the more the price increases exponentially, but Mincheol personally purchased the most expensive model and updated its performance every quarter.
Of course, all updates are paid for by the company.
Programming in the VR era has become so complex that AI support is essential. A development team leader at a company as big as Napalm can’t just use cheap AI.
‘Free updates are over now, but… … .’
Now that it’s been cut off, we can’t upgrade it with company money anymore.
Mincheol smiled bitterly and patted Oasis’ head.
It seems like only yesterday that I first felt awkward when I heard that master’s voice, but time has passed so quickly.
“Something came up… … Well, did you get any emails or notifications?”
– Yes! I got an email from Napalm. They told me to submit my resignation quickly. They said they’d give me a severance pay, so let’s get it done quickly… … Huh? Sir, you got fired?!
Instead, Oasis, who had been reading the email, was startled.
“… … .”
Mincheol held his aching forehead with his hand.
“Whew… Oasis, do you know how to write a resignation letter?”
– Of course! Writing documents is a piece of cake for me, the world’s second smartest AI!
“Who was the first smart AI?”
– Of course it’s AlphaGo! My sister is loyal!
Oasis saluted the empty space over there.
‘Is there a hierarchy among AIs…?’
Mincheol, who had put aside his useless thoughts, waved his hand roughly.
“Then write a letter of resignation in my name and send it to me.”
– I see! But, Master! Are you really cut off? Are you unemployed?
“Stop asking, just… … .”
– The data link from Napalm was cut off yesterday. Was it because the owner was cut off?
Oasis organized and presented various data on unemployment benefits, re-employment, retirement fund investments, etc., but Mincheol waved his hand and pushed them all away.
“Okay, launch Wings Online. Connect.”
– Yes? You weren’t cut off from Napalm? But you’re logging into the Napalm game?
“Okay, I’ll connect now since it’s cut off.”
Mincheol said calmly.
“I got cut off, so I’m going to get revenge.”
– No?!
The terrified Oasis jumped up.
He had no intention of hiding anything from Oasis anyway. This guy was an exclusive AI that absolutely obeyed him.
“Listen carefully, Oasis. We are going to destroy Wings Online from now on.”
– Were you making it just the day before yesterday?!
“Since you made it, you take responsibility for it and destroy it.”
– What kind of strange logic is this! I, a rational AI, can’t understand it! W, above all! My master…
You love that game more than anyone else… … .
Oasis swallowed his words. That was because Mincheol cut him off and growled fiercely.
“Just make some noise and run the game quickly.”
– yes…….
Oasis silently ran Wings Online.
In just a few seconds, the surrounding scenery changed completely.
Around Mincheol, grass and trees had grown tall, and a long, stone-paved road stretched out ahead.
Dragons were flying peacefully in the sky.
As the magnificent OST began to play, the game title appeared in the air.
WINGS ONLINE
Even though he had seen this screen so many times, Mincheol’s heart still fluttered whenever he saw this title.
He made the game he wanted to make and played it as much as he wanted. Wings Online was literally the game of his life.
“huh?”
But something was strange. Normally, it would log me in automatically, but the screen wouldn’t move.
Mincheol opened his mouth.
“log in.”
Immediately afterwards, a voice guidance was heard.

This account has restricted access to documents.
“… … .”
By the way, the last account I logged in to was the ‘GM Anchovy’ account. It looks like Napalm blocked my permissions.
‘You blocked it so quickly.’
It hasn’t even been 24 hours since I quit my job, but work is done in a flash. Anyway, it was only in this area that I was fast.
– Ugh… … .
At that moment, a sobbing sound was heard next to my ear. It was the voice of Oasis.
– What should I do, Master… … . I got fired from work, and my account was taken away… … .
“Shut up. How many more accounts do you have?”
Mincheol, who had been fired, first logged in with his regular account.
A warrior character wearing white armor, a shield, and a greatsword appeared below the title screen.
Mincheol checked the character’s status.
User ID: Anchovy
– Occupation: Ascension Paladin
– Character Lv: 90
– Item Lv: 894
The current max level in Wings Online is 90.
The item level is a multiple of 10, with a cap of 900.
Even if you raise your character level somehow, it’s not easy to raise your item level. The average item level for max level players is in the early 800s.
But Mincheol’s item level is a whopping 894.
It was the result of a lot of hard work. In reality, it was a spec that would not be inferior to any server ranker.
but…….
‘I can’t do anything with this.’
Mincheol logged out right away.
Dong-ha and Shin-ji already know that this account is theirs.
Since his goal was to destroy this game world, it was somewhat uncomfortable to move with this account.
GM accounts have already been blocked, and regular accounts are unusable.
“… … .”
A smirk and a mockery appeared at the corners of Mincheol’s mouth, which had been tightly shut.
I have been running this service from the beginning until now with these hands. If you include the development period, it has been 10 years.
There’s no way they didn’t come up with a trick.
“Oasis, deploy the firewall.”
– yes?
“Pretend to connect from China. Forge all logs to a different account. I won’t do that, but if anyone tracks you, make sure to ignore them all.”
– Okay… … but why?
Mincheol smiled as he entered the ID of the account he wanted to log in to using the virtual keyboard.
“Well, from now on, everything I do is illegal!”
* * *
Mincheol accessed all 20 GM accounts that he had set aside as spares.
Some of them were blocked, some were connected but without GM permissions.
There are five accounts with living GM privileges.
“good…….”
Mincheol nodded after logging in with his fifth GM account and checking the list of GM powers.
“For now, I’ve secured five feet.”
Oasis, who had been watching, applauded and cheered.
– Aha! I think I get it, Master! You’re planning to cause trouble in Wings with your GM ID? You’re really hot~! With five accounts, you can easily take over a city!
“No, this is sealed for now.”
– Huh.
Mincheol logged out without hesitation and then logged in with the master developer account.
This was the Development Tool account that was initially used to create this game.
Since the work method has changed since the service started, this account was one that could be used by original developers, but it was not on the GM account list.
The master developer account contained all sorts of functions, from terrain creation to weather transformation, and even the creation and placement of objects and items.
Oasis was amazed.
– GM is GM, but it’s not a Game Master, it’s a God Mode account! You can even touch the in-game stats, so you can really mess with Wings…
“Yeah, this is sealed too.”
– Huh?!
“It might come in handy once or twice, but it’s just too powerful. You’ll eventually get tracked down.”
Log out again.
Mincheol, who had been lost in thought for a moment at the title screen, asked Oasis.
“Are you continuing to falsify the connection log?”
– Yes, master. Why are you doing that?
“Create two new accounts. Since personal information is managed by the government anyway, you won’t be tracked… … But still, wash it by pretending to be a foreigner.”
As the leak of personal information by private companies became more serious by the day, the law was changed so that in the VR era, only the state can manage personal information.
Now, private companies must go through a government-managed personal information management server when accepting membership applications.
Since access to essential information was prohibited, it was a very welcome thing for Mincheol, who would have to move while hiding his identity in the future.
‘But just in case, I’ll put up a smoke screen.’
Oasis skillfully created two accounts with foreign identities, both of which were fake, of course.
Since Wings Online is a service that is launched simultaneously worldwide, there are several countries where the membership registration process is relatively lax.
So it was a possible smokescreen.
– What are you going to do with this?
“I’ll raise it from the beginning.”
Mincheol stretched his neck and shoulders.
“Within the rules of the game, as a single player… … I will destroy this game.”
Mincheol was the creator of this game. He was also the director who created it from the ground up.
He knew all the loopholes, bugs, secrets, and scenario developments.
“A single player account can do something to turn the game world upside down.”
Of course, I’ll use those GM accounts if necessary.
– Oh, oh oh… … ! That’s great, Master!
Oasis, who had been impressed by the owner’s confidence, tilted her head and said, “Huh?”
– By the way, what about the other account? Why did you create it?
Mincheol, who had entered the character creation screen, answered calmly.
“you.”
– yes?
“You connect too.”
Mincheol gave a clear order to Oasis, who did not understand.
“Double-run the app and create your own character. Move together with me.”
The 4th game of the Go match with Lee Sedol. Like AlphaGo, which received an unexpected blow from Lee Sedol’s 78th move while holding white.
Oasis, who had been hanging on the lag for a moment, not understanding the owner’s words, let out a long scream right after.
– Eeeeek?!
