Episode 169
169. Gaming friend
Ryu Min visited Joo Seong-tak with the face of Hwang Yong-min.
Because I had tracking skills, I was able to chase it down without difficulty.
“See you again?”
“You, you bastard… … “Wow!”
Joo Seong-tak, who rolled into the house due to Ryu Min’s kick, hastily took his stance.
‘Curse of fear!’
I widened my eyes and was terrified.
[The other person resisted fear.]
[The curse of fear failed.]
It was as useless as before.
“Don’t be too scared. “I just came here to talk.”
thud-
Ryumin closed the front door and smiled.
However, Joo Seong-tak, who felt that even that appearance was ridicule and ridicule, could not help but get angry.
“You’re being damned! conversation? “What kind of conversation is this bastard who said he would kill me if I met him one more time?”
“Oh my, what I said hurt you so much? sorry. But in the church, you were the one who attacked first. “You admit it, right?”
“f*ck that, you made me like this…” … “Wow!”
He kicked again and Joo Seong-tak rolled around on the living room floor.
“From a while ago, I was blaming others, blaming others. “Even after being treated like that by the church, I still haven’t come to my senses.”
Joo Seong-tak was a poor candidate for reform.
What more can you expect from a murderer who has already killed dozens of people before becoming a player?
‘I kept it alive because it had good characteristics, but it won’t work. ‘You should remove any variables you may not know about.’
Seeing Joo Seong-tak glaring at him as if he were going to kill him, he was glad to follow him.
“good. “I’ll give you a chance to get revenge.”
“what?”
Ryu Min, who did not answer any more, manipulated the system window in the air.
Soon, a message that Joo Seong-tak had seen for the first time appeared.
[The opponent in front of me challenged the nickname ‘poop idiots’ to a duel.]
[Duel type ▶ Simple sparring that never dies]
[Opponent victory condition ▶ Touch 100 times]
[Dung Idiots Victory Condition ▶ Touch even a single hair]
[In case of victory ▶ The loser becomes a slave and serves the winner as his master for life and obeys his orders]
[Opponent penalty ▶ Prohibited from using all equipment and skills]
[No penalty for idiots]
[Would you accept a duel under the above conditions? Y/N]
“what’s this?”
When he was confused when he received the challenge for a duel for the first time, Ryu Min kindly explained it.
Because you can force action only if he accepts the request.
“It’s a dueling function, but it’s simple. If you touch me even a single hair, you win. Conversely, if I touch your body 100 times, I win. The loser obeys the winner like a slave. how is it? “It’s simple, right?”
“If I touch you even once, I win?”
“okay. Instead, I won’t wear any equipment or use any skills.”
Joo Seong-tak looked at the system window once again and was worried.
‘You can treat that bastard like a slave just by touching his hair or anything?’
It was a completely worthless bet.
The question is whether the bet will be executed.
“Are you really going to duel with me under these conditions?”
“Can’t you tell when you see it?”
“How can you believe it? “You might break your promise.”
“How can you violate this, you idiot? “Like governance, the system forces action.”
“… … .”
Joo Seong-tak was silent.
Seeing as the system window pops up, it seems reliable.
It looks like there is a chance of winning.
‘No matter how much of a wizard I am, I won’t be able to touch him once while he touches me 100 times.’
If you get scared just once, the game is over.
Of course, I’ve never tried to figure out how to resist.
‘If necessary, you can use corpse explosion. There are many ways to do this.’
Just because it’s a job that uses magic doesn’t mean it only increases intelligence.
There are many cases where you have to engage in close combat or run away, so you have a certain level of strength and agility.
No matter how fast the guy was, I was confident he could do it once.
“how is it? Are you going to do it or not?”
“Why are you suddenly making this offer to me?”
“What do you think?”
Ryumin burst out laughing.
“Because it’s pitiful.”
“what?”

“I’m not giving you a chance because I feel sorry for you who keep struggling even though you’re not good enough. Even giving yourself a penalty. “Didn’t you know?”
“… … .”
“A guy who is said to have a certain level of intelligence isn’t this smart. The head is not a decoration. Tsk tsk.”
‘That dog… … .”
I can’t believe that I, who ranked 2nd or 3rd in the entire district, was ridiculed like this.
It was humiliating.
“So are you going to do it? Are you going to tell me?”
“Let’s do it, f*cking ballum.”
[The duel was concluded.]
[After 10 seconds, the duel between the two begins.]
Joo Seong-tak, who was angry, took the flatfish bait.
I didn’t even know it was a fight where the chance of winning was close to zero.
‘With this, we have one more slave.’
The corners of Ryumin’s mouth rose cruelly.
* * *
The economy was shaken as 22% of the world’s population decreased.
Because of players, the world has become scary to go outside.
The streets became deserted and small business owners complained that sales had decreased.
However, it was the gaming industry that was hit harder than anyone else.
This is because the main users of game content were between the ages of 15 and 29.
‘But I guess popular games aren’t going out of business. ‘If you see that they continue to serve you.’
Even though other games were in decline, with the number of users falling by more than half, the famous AOS game maintained its undisputed first place.
It was fortunate for Ryu Won, who had nothing to do at home.
I’ve finally gotten to play a game I’ve always wanted to play.
‘But I’m getting sick of the game after playing it for several months.’
After staying at home for more than 9 months and playing games like an old man, I’m so sick of it that I’m sick of it.
‘I know you sound full compared to before. But it’s really hard… … .’
Eating delivery food three times a day was good at first, but it wasn’t something I could do.
The reason I was able to survive was thanks to my brother and my gaming friends.
‘I can’t make friends in real life, so I have to make friends in games.’
I had a great time with my gaming friend.
He responded well no matter what I did, never got angry, and was good at games.
Even on days when I felt stuffy and depressed, my stress was relieved when I played games with that friend.
He was different from his classmates who bullied and bullied him.
Although they are online, they are true friends, Ryu Won thought.
Until we meet in person offline.
“Are you Ryu Won?”
“Yeah, are you Taewan?”
“We finally met. nice to meet. “You f*cking bastard.”
Before I could be surprised by the sudden swear word, Taewan put an arm around my shoulder.
There was a typical gangster smell.
“Why, why are you like this Taewan… … .”
“You bastard. Don’t speak informally. “I’m two years older than you, motherf*cker.”
“what? In the game, they are clearly the same age… … .”
“That’s what I was trying to do to get close to you. Just follow me. “Let’s go somewhere quiet.”
Taewan, with a wry smile, led Ryu Won as is.
I tried to shake it off, but it was impossible.
The strength is no joke, it feels like a rock has been placed on my shoulder.
‘Well, now that I think about it, if you’re two years older than me… … player?’
It’s a player.
A veteran who survived until the 10th round.
gulp-
The tension was greater than the embarrassment.
Players are more dangerous than ordinary criminals.
Judging by his actions, he seems to have bad feelings about himself.
‘ah… … Like your brother said, he should be at home.’
It’s too late to regret it.
Ryu Won was taken somewhere by a guy he believed to be a friend.
In the meantime, I looked around the street, but even though it was broad daylight, there was no one in sight to ask for help.
“Go in, kid.”
In front of Ryu Won, who was pushed onto his back, was a dead end alley, not a PC room.
What are the gangsters planning to do in this place where they can just smoke cigarettes?
I didn’t even want to think about it.
“Why, why are you like this, Tae, Taewan?”
“Baby, I’m two years older than you, so you’re still speaking informally. And f*ck, don’t call my name careless. Because it’s like X.”
“Why are you doing this… … .”
match-!
My eyes flashed and my head turned.
My cheeks were swollen and my nose was bleeding.
“This X cubs will be back. “Do you think we’re still friends just because I tried to please you?”
“… … .”
“Why am I like this? Are you asking because you don’t know? Of course, I don’t know. Because I acted really well. “I endured the feeling of wanting to kill you and your brother.”
“my… … brother?”
I mentioned having an older brother in the game, but I never went into detail.
Of course, I never introduced it to my brother.
Since there is no point of contact, it means there is nothing worth complaining about.
“What did my brother do… … .”
“Tsk, this guy still hasn’t figured out the situation.”
Taewan’s mouth was smiling, but his eyes were wide open.
With eyes that really want to kill.
“Hey, you know Tae-gyu.”
“Tae-gyu? Who is that… … .”
“I mean Bang Tae-gyu, you f*cking bastard. I do not remember? “My younger brother, who was in the same class as you, was beaten by your older brother nine months ago and ended up in the hospital. f*ck you!”
“ah.”
I remember.
Even though it wasn’t that long ago, I forgot about it.
Iljin, the guy who brought despair to his school days.
His name was Bang Tae-gyu.
“Looking at your eyes, I guess you remember. “I’m Bang Tae-gyu, Bang Tae-wan.”
“… … .”
“Do you know how much trouble I went through to find you? I searched for a crime report and did everything I could to find it, but I couldn’t find it. If I knew the face, I would have used the tracking skill, but I didn’t even have that common photo, so damn, how hard it was. It was fortunate that I was able to find the game ID. “Because this is how we ended up meeting.”
“Well, then all the things you did when you were friendly to me… … .”
“It was all an act, you bastard. To meet you offline. But the male cub is begging me? Maybe he’s a fool, but every time I ask him to meet me, he says it’s dangerous and I can’t leave the house. X haircut.”
Now I understand.
He’s not a gaming friend or anything.
He’s just a bully who deliberately approached him to get revenge on his brother.
“Did you say your brother’s name was Ryumin? Is that kid doing well? “Are you living well after breaking my brother’s fingers and even his arm?”
“… … .”
“I’m sure we’re not behind already, right? How long have I waited for the day to get revenge? uh? “Answer me, motherf*cker.”
“… … .”
Ryu Won closed his mouth as if he had zipped it up.
‘I can never talk about my brother… … .’
match-!
Until my jaw rotated and blood splattered.
“hey.”
Bang Tae-wan glared at me with scary eyes.
“Aren’t you going to tell me? Am I easy? “Do you think it’s a joke?”
match-!
My head turned to the other side.
Blood flowed out of my clenched lips.
“Answer me. Is your brother alive? “If I don’t speak up, they’ll hit me again?”
“Lord, he’s dead… … .”
“Dead?”
Ryu Won nodded, putting on a sad expression.
The only way to prevent harm to my brother was to tell him that he was dead.
“Well, unless you’re a talented person like me, there’s no way you can survive until the 10th round.”
Bang Tae-wan, who was shaking his head as if it was worth it, turned into a worried face.
“So what now? I was planning to use you to lure my brother and kill him, but I heard he was already dead… … . “Revenge is gone?”
Ryu Won felt relieved when he seemed to have given up on revenge.
But even for a moment.
“Can not help it. Since I don’t have a brother, I have to kill you at least.”
“Uh, huh?”
“What do you want to play? If the older brother did something wrong, the younger brother should be punished instead. “Don’t you know about guilt by association?”
On the contrary, it was Ryu Won who was embarrassed when the target was turned to him.
“If it’s a lie, tell me honestly right now. Is your brother alive? You said you died to protect your brother, right? huh?”
“… … .”
“You’re not talking? Then I should die in my brother’s place. Do you think you can’t do it? Just like what happened to my brother, I will break your fingers and arms, and finally, I will break off your head. Do you understand?”
“… … .”
“So tell me. “Where are you, you bastard Ryumin?”
“Uh, my brother… … .”
A soft sigh flowed from the mouth of Ryu Won, who was trembling slightly.
“Hey, he’s already dead… … .”
“You bastard lie to the end.”
Bang Tae-wan’s face crumpled mercilessly.
“I guess you don’t feel like talking yet, but okay. “Break your fingers first and listen to the answer again.”
“Oh, no… … !”
Just as he was about to grab Ryu Won’s finger and break it.
“What are you doing here?”
Bang Tae-wan turned his head at the sound of Misung’s voice.
A woman was looking this way with a mischievous smile.
“f*ck you. “Never mind, just go your way.”
“I wasn’t asking you, was I? “f*ck you?”
“what?”
The moment when Bang Tae-wan, who was embarrassed, was about to get angry.
The woman’s eyes were pink.
Then, Bang Tae-wan suddenly stretched out his arms like a soulless doll.
‘What happened?’
Ryu Won, who had a puzzled expression on his face, couldn’t help but be taken aback by the woman’s question a moment later.
“Are you okay, master?”
‘Do you, master?’
Because he was talking as if he knew me.
