Return of the Frozen Player 433
Once upon a time (2)
The rising spirit crashed in an instant, as if it had been rinsed.
“Keugh.”
Seo Jun-ho’s palm covered his forehead.
My head ached like the day after I drank too much.
A stone wall overlooking Seoul, a well-decorated promenade, and a tall tower right in front of you.
‘The place is Seoul, Namsan Park.’
I’m sure I was talking to the wise man in Frontier just a little while ago, but suddenly I’m in Seoul?
This situation was not understood, but questions were put aside for now.
“… … What the hell did the association do until it got to this point?”
Because saving people was the priority.
But I couldn’t afford to wait for the pain to subside.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
“Monsters, monsters are coming!”
“It’s an open door! f*ck it as far as you can!”
A scream filled with fear and trembling awakened him.
Seo Jun-ho opened his eyes in pain, and his eyes shone sharply.
‘Open door? A monster?’
A quick scan of the surroundings brought several pieces of information into my head.
“Inventory, Remorseless Executioner.”
A man ran away to Seo Jun-ho, who took out an ink-colored halberd without a moment’s thought.
“Sah, save me!”
I’m sorry! A wolf with red fur follows furiously after him.
‘Red Wolf. A lower level monster that is stronger than a goblin but weaker than an orc.’
But aside from that level, it was the monster I personally hated the most.
“To hurt someone else.”
Seo Jun-ho with a cold face is holding a halberd.
swung
The moment when a clean attack without any superfluities cuts through the man and cuts down only the wolf.
Quadduk!
“Aaaagh!”
A man who was bitten on the back of the neck by a wolf that rushed at him fell forward with a scream. At the same time, Seo Jun-ho’s movement suddenly stopped.
“… “what?”
“Ah! help me! evil! ahhh uhh O”
Until the man’s screams turned into sobs, and the sobs stopped.
Seo Jun-ho couldn’t move from his seat.
‘Obviously passed.’
The attack he wielded passed through the red wolf.
Likewise, the body of the man who fell forward also passed through him.
as if it were a ghost.
“What the hell is this?”
With a frown on his face, Seo Jun-ho fell to the floor and looked at the glowing object.
‘A smartphone?’
Isn’t it a relic of the past that can only be seen in textbooks or museums now?
But the moment I read the number 20190306 that popped up on my smartphone screen.
‘… … Oh, was it like that?’
everything was understood
-Ask yourself, ask yourself.
The sage’s words were not a metaphor, but a message to find the answer from one’s self in the past.
“… … You are doing too much.”
Seo Jun-ho complained with a face that looked like he was about to cry.
did.
Perhaps the wise man’s ability is to see the past himself or to show the past to someone.
Then there must have been one reason why he bothered to show himself the memories of that day. ……
Searching for memories, I ran to somewhere, and as expected, I saw an ambulance and players belonging to the Association.
“Bring more stretchers!”
“Ask for an ambulance and additional player support! shit! The gate that used to be fine
Honey, why are you blowing up!”
“Sweep straight up and rescue other survivors. Follow me!”
Dozens of red wolf corpses were piled up in the place where they passed.
However, Seo Jun-ho’s gaze passed by those insignificant things and turned to a young man who was sitting on the floor.
“… … mom? dad?”
A pale face rather than white.
The young man, who had just turned 20, stared at his parents covered in white cloth with unfocused eyes.
In the back, the players whispered with sad expressions.
“At first I thought it was a pile of bodies. The bodies of three people were stacked on top of each other. He probably stood on top of it to protect his son until the moment he died.”
“Ehh……

“I was pitiful. Even the condition of the corpse is not very good, so the shock received must be considerable.”
The young man gathered a white cloth with trembling hands and asked for it.
“please… … I’ll listen carefully from now on
yo. this. I don’t drink late at night, and I don’t need pocket money. I don’t have to do anything, please… …
please stay by my side
Tears flowing and a hoarse voice. A body that trembles incessantly.
Looking at the young man who seemed to be left alone in the world, Seo Jun-ho silently closed his eyes.
Once again, consciousness surged.
Seo Jun-ho, who opened his eyes this time in pain, looked around.
‘The place has changed.’
The scenery of Seoul and Namsan Mountain was nowhere to be seen, and a dark forest was visible.
Plants that don’t grow on Earth and plenty of magic power floating in the atmosphere.
A place so dark that not a single light can reach it because of the thick and convoluted leaves.
“This looks like it’s inside the gate… … Wait, can you?”
Seo Jun-ho had a hardened face and body.
turned
Passing by a poorly built and unsightly camp, ten men and women are seen hiding together.
“Then, vigilantes, please.”
“When it’s time for your shift, don’t delay. Wake me up right away. You should get some sleep too.”
“I know, so stop nagging and go to sleep.”
The young man who lost his parents and fell into despair became a player.
His muscles were stronger than before, and his eyes were full of vitality.
Before long, the sound of even breathing filled the camp.
“… … Those guys fall asleep as soon as they put their head on a real pillow.”
“Everyone is forcing themselves to pretend to be bright, but they must be tired.”
“huh. I’ve already been moving and hunting for a week.”
A man and a woman who had been on watch with him laughed lightly.
It’s already been a week since I came here.
Food is running out, mental strength is wearing out
His stamina did not come back even after sleeping.
“This damn gate, I hope I can go out tomorrow.”
“Can I?”
“I think I just need to find the location of the boss monster. It’s so clever that it doesn’t show up well.”
As the three of them were talking, the night deepened and the temperature dropped frighteningly.
“Ugh, it’s cold.”
“Etch! Ehch!”
A bitter cold enveloped the party, and the comrades in the sleeping bags shivered.
The woman who looked at the figure was crying.
“How to. You guys must be cold.”
“… … I guess so. We, who keep moving, are also cold, how disgusting are they?”
“What if the kids catch a cold and can’t hunt tomorrow?”
Uh, so what do you really do? It would be difficult to find medicine inside the gate, and the attack would be delayed.
A young man would think so.
There was a moment of silence, and the young man slowly looked around and opened his mouth.
“Then shall we light a fire for an hour or so? small.”
“Are you okay?”
“Wait, wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
“I built a camp, and installed various boxes around it… … It won’t be too dangerous.”
No, please don’t, you’re on this line
That is the lesson Seo Jun-ho and that young man will learn from this gate.
Roaring!
Eventually, it caught fire.
“Mmm”
“Ah, the kids must be warm too.”
“I know. I don’t cough anymore.”
“thank god.”
The three of them laughed happily for a while, but the worried young man opened his mouth.
“But just in case you don’t know, I’ll just do a round of reconnaissance and come back.”
You will regret it for the rest of your life.
“Please, asshole.”
Seo Jun-ho, whose face was distorted, reached out and grabbed the young man’s shoulder roughly.
But that hand passes like a ghost.
All he is allowed to do is observe this timeline. Because I couldn’t use any physical force.
“… … stupid guy.”
Consideration and favor without thinking about the aftermath sometimes brings the worst results.
“okay. Instead, be careful?”
“Junho, don’t forget that you are the ace of this party. If you get hurt, you’ll be in big trouble.”
“Nag.”
The young man burst into laughter and went on reconnaissance, leaving his colleagues behind.
Seo Jun-ho, who was looking at him, closed his eyes.
‘At the gate, there was one that lit a fire in the forest where there was no light at all.’
Two of them believed in a lame trap that would not have caught a monster with clear night vision.
Three things were empty to scout the surroundings and cut power.
These were foolish mistakes that only beginners could make.
‘Even if I didn’t do just one of them.’
Or if you were really lucky and there wasn’t a bunch of monsters roaming around at the right time.
What if it was
Ding! It’s time! Ding!
“..uh?”
“What, what!”
As the set-up traps swayed, the bells started ringing frantically.
The startled man drew his weapon and shouted.
“Crazy, Choi Eun-rang! Go find Junho right away!”
“what? But I have to fight… …
“Wizards aren’t much help in this melee! I need him!”
“Ah Okay!”
The moment the woman nodded and ran out of the camp with all her strength.
“wake up! It’s a surprise! It’s a monster!
Mons… …
Quadduk!
The man’s head was shattered by the goblin’s club protruding from the bush.
After that, it was a breeze.
“Ugh, what is it?”
“attack? Could it be an attack?”
“Everybody get up, arms… … Aww!”
hooked! hooked! hooked!
The goblins climbed atop their sleepy comrades and slashed their hearts with crude stone daggers.
It only took about a minute for the eight players to be killed.
“shit.”
The moment Seo Jun-ho covered his bent face with both hands, overwhelmed with guilt.
“Lee, dogs!”
Returning to the camp, the young man slaughtered the goblins in an instant.
But no matter how well they fight, those who have already died do not come back.
“Ah ah ah ah ah.”
The woman who returned together hugged a corpse and cried sadly.
was her lover.
It’s enough that you don’t see it after that.
Because it was all he knew.
‘That woman took her own life, and I despair.’
Seo Jun-ho looked at the fledgling player.
It was different from when I lost my parents because I couldn’t catch a wolf cub.
He has definitely grown up, and is strong enough to hunt most monsters alone.
done, but
He was still trembling and afraid.
“Why didn’t you come out?”
Seo Jun-ho muttered with a tired face.
After going through two of the most difficult events in my life back to back, I felt drained of my mind.
The third ‘and’ that came to him
It was obvious.
“Never be in a hurry for us. Be patient until the moment you can definitely kill her.”
“Mio is right. It’s impossible to kill the Frost Queen in two minutes. Rather, if you jump in hastily, she will only lose her initiative to her.”
“Did you hear? Please don’t die for nothing and ask me to slit your throat. That is the price of concession.”
“We may not know, but you can do it.”
Not a fledgling anymore, really
said the young man who became a great player.
“… … See you later. It is a promise.”
After saying that, the player ran up the stairs.
Seo Jun-ho remained on the spot and watched his colleagues freeze.
“Ha, I guess I’ll die like this.”
“what. It’s a big deal for a distracted guy to die.”
“what? Hey gunman, is this not my normal reaction?”
I don’t know. Arthur, I miss you.”
“Please do your best, Junho.”
Guys who can’t unify until they die.
Seo Jun-ho swallowed a sad smile and went straight up the stairs.
‘At this time, I was consumed by anger.’
He was in a state of heat all the way to the top of his head.
The adrenaline rushed out more than necessary was enough to even calm the fear of the Frost Queen.
“You really know nothing about this world.”
“I came to kill you and even that
Should I know?”
However, Seo Jun-ho’s eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the two of them.
because it wasn’t
Despite the fact that he was overcome with a rage so great that his reason was paralyzed.
rattle.
The player who was called a hero was trembling with fear.
‘I… … Did you say that?’
I can’t remember.
At this time, I had no choice but to kill her quickly and save my comrades.
was
“Kill you, game over. I just need to know that.”
Starting with the clash between the two beings, my spirit soared once more.
There was no pain this time.
Whoa. Seo Jun-ho let out a light sigh and opened his mouth.
“You have worse taste than you look.”
“You wanted an answer, and all I could do was this.”
The wise man, who tapped his shoulder and looked at him saying he had suffered, asked.
“So, did you find the answer you were looking for?”
Seo Jun-ho looked down at my hand.
The shaking still won’t stop. It’s because I’m afraid of the existence I saw in Melis’ memories.
Because the object you have to face someday is so strong that you want to hide and run away.
‘but.’
Seo Jun-ho clenched his fists tightly.
It’s not just doing this right now.
He lived in fear of something every moment.
“I don’t know, but I don’t think I’ve ever been a coward.”
Facing the past, I know for sure now.
It’s not strange, it’s a perfectly natural phenomenon.
“Looks like you’ve found the answer.”
The sage smiled happily.
Denying fear is a momentary
It’s an escape, it’s just an escape.
If you really want to overcome your fear, you have to start by accepting it.
“Yes, thanks for finding it.”
The moment you face the weaknesses of your past self and present self and clearly admit them.
The trembling of both hands disappeared like a lie.
