Mincheol was inside the VR world, but he was logged out of Wings Online.
‘It’s already been a week since I got cut off by napalm.’
Mincheol clicked his tongue as he checked the calendar. A week passed by in an instant.
‘Level 50 in a week… … .’
The new account I created right after I got fired from the company, ‘Labo’, is at level 50.
It was a tremendous speed.
So far, everything was going according to plan. It was time to move on to the next step of the plan.
Mincheol thought as he logged onto the Internet and typed on the virtual keyboard.
‘First, I need to make an alibi.’
Mincheol’s goal is to destroy the game he created, Wings Online.
But if Wings started to collapse as planned, it was obvious that Napalm would suspect Mincheol first.
Mincheol had both the motivation and the ability. Napalm will pursue Mincheol as its top priority.
He had to lay the groundwork in advance to prove his innocence.
Basically, they were falsifying the connection logs. It would appear that both accounts were connecting from China.
But this wasn’t enough. It had to look like there was no connection between Mincheol and Labo.
‘First of all, change of address.’
Mincheol accessed the public institution and changed his address to his hometown house.
‘I’ll pretend to go back to my hometown like I told Shinji and Dongha.’
And I was planning to remotely control the capsule PC in my hometown and connect Mincheol’s max-level main character to Labo at the same time.
The purpose is to leave a log of simultaneous connections to secure at least a minimal legal alibi.
‘Shall we test it?’
Mincheol’s hands quickly typed on the virtual keyboard. He was trying to remotely access the capsule PC at his hometown.
All capsule PCs identify users through iris and fingerprint recognition whenever they log in, but Mincheol easily bypassed the security and succeeded in remote execution.
‘And… …Wings runs.’
Wings Online also naturally blocks log falsification, multiple app execution, and remote execution.
But Mincheol passed through that level of barrier naturally.
A while later, Mincheol’s main character successfully logged into his hometown PC without any problems.
The max level paladin, Anchovy, stood proudly below the title screen.
‘It’s working. It’s easy.’
Hehe.
One corner of Mincheol’s mouth curled up wickedly.
Napalm was Korea’s largest game company and publisher, and boasted impenetrable security.
He was the original developer of Wings Online and worked at Napalm for 15 years. His hands were deep in the security protocols of Wings Online.
‘You idiots.’
Napalm may have cut off Mincheol and severed the data link with Oasis, but it couldn’t take away the 15 years of knowledge and experience stored in Mincheol’s head.
‘Above all.’
Labo glanced to the side. An AI with a familiar girlish appearance was floating beside him.
– huh?
The girl whose eyes met mine smiled brightly.
– Is there anything else you would like to order, sir?
“… … .”
Mincheol looked at each other and smiled brightly.
He has Oasis, an AI that is one of the best in the world.
If Mincheol finds a weakness and Oasis increases its operational firepower to the limit, it is possible to easily break through any security.
If anything, it could even tear down the firewall of Napalm headquarters.
‘I don’t think I’ll ever go that far.’
No… … It shouldn’t be there.
Mincheol opened his eyes slightly.
Mincheol knew very well that he could not win by fighting napalm head-on. In front of the giant corporation, Mincheol was nothing more than a tiny ant.
‘But, I am a poisonous ant that carries deadly poison.’
No matter how huge the giant is, if you can just poison its heart… … .
“… … I can knock it down.”
– Yes? What?
Oasis blinked as she heard Mincheol muttering.
Mincheol, who suddenly came to his senses, stopped thinking and nodded to Oasis.
“Oasis, search all the airlines and get me a ticket to Bali. About three weeks from now, before the Season 6 update. Round trip.”
– Yes! Oh, but Bali? Why Bali?
“I’m thinking of going on a trip. For about three days.”
The surprised Oasis blinked.
– Yes? A trip? Really?
“Then it must really be fake.”
I really was thinking of going on a trip abroad. Of course, the purpose wasn’t to travel, but to create a more solid alibi.
What if Labo’s account continues to be active while Mincheol is in Bali?
And what if the connection point is China?
There was no proof of location as certain as departure.
As he had already prepared for Shinji and Dongha, Mincheol was planning to go around diligently.
Oasis muttered softly with a surprised face.

– Master, I thought you were a total homebody… … .
“It’s true that I’m a homebody, but… … .”
To be honest, I didn’t want to bother going, but for a more certain ‘bad ending’, is there anything I can’t do?
“And order the best head connector. I’ll use it when I go to Bali.”
I also ordered a portable device to access the game while I was traveling. It doesn’t have as much graphical performance as the capsule PC, but it’s able to access the VR world without any problems.
As I was booking my flight and hotel, I felt more excited about Oasis for some reason.
– Hehe. A trip! And overseas at that! This is so exciting!
“You can still go and come back… … .”
If it wants, can’t AI connect to any PC anywhere in the world through the network?
Then Oasis made a grumpy expression.
– It makes sense to go with the owner!
“Okay, okay, whatever.”
Mincheol’s expression became serious as he roughly planned an alibi plan.
“Lastly, I should get insurance.”
– yes?
Oasis tilted his head.
– insurance?
“You’ll know it when you see it.”
Immediately after, Mincheol made a video call to someone.
AmYolman~ AmYolman you~ Follow me today too~ Today too, I only think of you~
K-pop from decades ago was playing as a ringtone.
Oasis flinched at the melody they heard for the first time, but Mincheol hummed along as if it was familiar to him.
After a few loud rings, the video call was connected.
– Wow! Who is this, Mr. Anchovy!
A white rabbit doll appeared across the screen. The person on the other end of the phone was nowhere to be seen.
– Long time no see, Anchovy Oppa! How long has it been?
Then the other person greeted me in fluent Korean. It was definitely a foreign accent, but I could tell that he spoke Korean quite well.
“How have you been, Rabbit? It’s been a long time.”
The person who called Mincheol a rabbit burst into a cheerful laugh.
– Haha! That’s right. It’s been almost three years. How is Anchovy Oppa?
“Well… just so-so.”
He couldn’t tell everyone he met that he had been cut off. Mincheol tried to cover it up and changed the subject.
“Are you still living in Bali?”
– Yeah~ I like Bali. The sun is nice, the food is delicious, and the Wi-Fi is great! Come visit sometime~ I’ll be a good guide.
“That’s great. I’ll go there next time.”
– Huh? Really? Really?
Mincheol continued speaking calmly to Rabbit, who was slightly flustered.
“Let’s meet up. I have a favor to ask of you.”
– … … .
Rabbit, who had been silent for a moment, soon chuckled in a small, low voice.
– Huh… … What on earth would the world’s best anchovy oppa ask a low-level hacker like me! Why would he come all the way from Korea to Bali?
“Is there anything else you could ask a hacker to do?”
Mincheol let out a snicker.
“It’s hacking.”
– … … Okay, brother.
Rabbit, who had become slightly serious, corrected his voice and asked, “Ahem!”
– Let’s meet up and talk about the details, just answer this.
“Anything.”
Rabbit took a deep breath and then asked again, one by one.
-Who do you want to hack?
Mincheol smiled as if he had expected the question and answered without a moment’s hesitation.
“The place you robbed three years ago.”
– what……?
Mincheol spoke more precisely to Rabbit, who was laughing in vain.
“In other words… … napalm!”
* * *
Mincheol finished all the work and launched Wings Online.
A long, stone-paved road unfolded with a majestic OST, and the game title appeared under the blue sky where dragons played.
WINGS ONLINE
Beneath the title appeared an imposing knight in black armor with a bloody cloak waving.
Below the article, there was a status bar.
User ID: Labo
– Occupation: Commander of the Dark Army
– Character Lv: 50
– Item Lv: 495
– Final access point: Dark Cult Base – Undertown Branch
“log in.”
When Mincheol chose Labo, Labo walked into the path inside the title screen with his armor creaking.
Start avatar sync
Mincheol’s body floated up and overlapped Labo’s body.
My vision was blurry, and my fingertips and toes felt numb.
Avatar synchronization complete. Connecting.
Adventurers, I hope you have a pleasant adventure.
The next moment, the screen went black… … Labo closed his eyes, then opened them again.
Before I knew it, I was inside Wings Online.
Since the last connection point was the Dark Cult base, when I reconnected, I was inside the Dark Cult base’s command barracks.
“Okay~ Alright, I’ll work hard to raise it today too… … .”
Labo, who was about to go out of the barracks, stretched out loud and stopped.
“huh?”
The ‘Friends’ window was blinking on the interface, indicating that someone had requested a whisper conversation.
‘Who is it? Was there anyone who registered in the friends window?’
Let’s check, it was Akasa. Now that I think about it, it seems I registered her as a friend when I borrowed money last time.
Labo answered the whisper without thinking much. Then he heard Akasa’s voice.
– Brother Labo? Are you online?
“Hey, Akasa. What’s going on?”
– No, it’s nothing… It’s nothing… No, it’s something.
“Is that because I borrowed 1 million gold? If you need the money urgently, you can pay it back now.”
– No, it’s not about the gold. So… … .
After hesitating for a while, Akasa finally continued speaking.
– Do you remember ‘Cain’?
“Cain? Hunter Killer Cain? Of course I remember.”
Labo laughed bitterly.
“I have some connection with that guy… … .”
– That old man Cain noticed that you started a new account. And he’s determined to find you and kill you.
“Huh? How did you know?”
Labo was a little surprised but calm.
“What if I knew? I wouldn’t be able to find it if I didn’t know the ID.”
– But, that’s… … .
Akasa, who had been hesitating, let out a deep sigh.
– … … I forgot to tell you.
“what?”
– I told you my ID… I’m sorry, brother.
Labo, who had been standing there with his mouth open in shock, laughed, “Puhaha.”
“Mommy, what if I tell you that?”
– No, I got completely stripped down too! I got beat up even though it was a 4 on 1 fight! Damn, is that a person or a monster…?
Akasa explained in detail how Cain came to him, how they fought, and what information he took.
– … … That’s what happened. If I hadn’t told you, you were going to beat me up forever instead of me! You should have seen that bastard’s dirty eyes in front of you!
Akasa is a guy who can play one hand, but it’s amazing that Akasa can defeat three more subordinates.
A smile appeared on Labo’s lips as he listened to the story.
“Hmm, okay. That Cain guy, you still have your skills.”
– No, what are you talking about so calmly?! That PK fanatic, I told you I knew your ID! Now he’ll be looking for you with his eyes wide open! Once he catches you, he’ll chase you forever and try to kill you!
“That’s good. I was planning to come and see you later, but it would be more convenient if you came first.”
– Yes? What did you say?
Akasa was taken aback by the unexpected answer. Labo remained calm.
“Good job, Akasa. Don’t worry too much. I’ll take care of that guy.”
– You’re going to take care of that hunter-killer? Are you serious, bro?
“Of course I’m serious.”
Labo stroked the sword hanging at his waist.
“Beasts have their own ways.”
– … … .
Akasa just stood there blankly in response to Labo’s voice, which was free of even the slightest disturbance.
