Episode 8 of the 100th regression of a max level player
8. Democracy in Episode 101 (Middle)
‘W-Where am I?’
Min Joo-ri looked around and was very embarrassed.
A dark space without a single light.
Although my mind was fine, the situation in front of my eyes was pitch black, and for a moment I felt scared.
‘I can’t believe it… … ‘Are you dead?’
As long as we are human, everyone is afraid of death.
However, Min-ri Min had other concerns ahead of herself.
‘dad. My dad… … !’
Who will take care of my father who is left alone when he dies?
Dad already has a soft heart.
‘If you knew I had collapsed, you would probably be crying… … .’
A question that suddenly occurred to me at that time.
‘Why did I suddenly collapse when I don’t have a chronic illness?’
The reason was soon revealed.
-Humans are fun. They celebrate the new year without knowing what kind of situation they are in.
Suddenly, an image appeared like on TV.
Naturally, my eyes couldn’t help but be drawn in that direction.
‘What is that? Cheer, angel?’
There was a beautiful angel on TV that anyone could see.
And underneath, I saw a lot of people going to the bell-ringing ceremony.
‘It’s the same place you saw on TV a little while ago, right?’
While I was watching intently, something surprising happened.
-Pow!
-Ugh!
-Aaaah!
As the person’s head exploded like a firecracker, people nearby screamed and ran away.
-To an insignificant human subject. How dare you speak informally to me, a person of high rank. You humans have no right to question me. Don’t try to be cocky. Unless you want your head to explode and die like that person.
‘What situation is this? Is it CG? Is it a movie? ‘Isn’t that also a dream?’
Have you ever had such a vivid dream?
Not even once.
– Are you wondering what the situation is now? What do inferior humans know? I will explain each step in an easy way, so listen carefully.
The angel explained the game.
The absurd story of being taken to another world on the 1st of every month.
It’s ridiculous that only half of the people can survive each round.
Even after hearing those words, Min Joo-ri could not help but believe it.
It was an absurd situation for me to be in a state where I could see everything like a spirit.
‘I hope it was a dream. If it was a dream… … .’
However, the wish did not come true, and like everyone else, I was dragged into a space where customization was done.
[Please tell us the nickname you want to register in the system within 30 seconds.]
[If you do not decide within the time limit, your real name will be automatically registered.]
Dream, reality, whatever.
Min-ri Min wanted to go back.
Because I couldn’t leave my father alone.
‘I said I could go back if I beat the round.’
I have to return alive.
No matter what situation you are in.
[Time remaining: 3 seconds]
[Time remaining: 2 seconds]
“I’ll choose the nickname [Democracy].”
* * *
I changed my hair style and my nickname.
Meanwhile, an angel appeared in the meadow.
It was different from the angel I saw on TV earlier.
[Hohoho, nice to meet you. Trash people. Doesn’t it make you feel bad to be caught like a dog in the middle of the night? Don’t worry. Round 1 is not a very difficult quest. Before we start, would you mind saying this to yourself?]
I opened my inventory and there was an item inside.
[It’s a random rune piece. It can only be used at level 1, so use it now.]
As the angel said, people used the item.
There was a mixture of sighing and joy as the abilities really came out randomly.
‘I have to write it quickly too. use.’
[You used a random rune piece.]
[congratulations! ‘Protection Rune’ has arrived!]
[The acquired runes are automatically imprinted on the player’s body!]
[Rune of Protection]
-Effect: A shield is added equal to the number of players within a 10m radius (up to 10 stacks). Only one shield can be obtained per player.
When I read the explanation, it was ambiguous.
‘I don’t know if it’s good or bad.’

I understand, but I don’t know what the strength of the shield is.
You will have to experience it yourself to confirm its performance.
‘Anyway, it’s good to be around people, right?’
I decided to stick close to as many people as possible.
Everyone else had the same idea that if you move in groups, your survival rate will increase.
but.
“Kiyayak!”
“Kyaaaa!”
When 50,000 goblins were created and they rushed in droves.
“Aaaah!”
“Run away!”
Everyone was busy running away.
There were only a small group of people who wanted to come together and do something.
‘ah! If you run away like that… … !’
Min Joo-ri was also scared and thought about running away, but then quit.
According to your rune characteristics, it is advantageous to go to places where people are gathered.
‘You should rather join the group!’
At that moment, I saw a group gathered to deal with the goblins, and I quickly joined them.
It was at that time that the approaching goblins caught up with the front row.
Puff puff!
Sigh!
“Ahh!”
“It hurts!”
“Save me… … “Give it to me.”
Most of the men in the first row were stabbed to death with daggers.
If you get stabbed once, you’re lucky.
Most people were stabbed dozens of times here and there.
It was a natural progression as goblins with swords came in droves.
‘Woah, weapon! ‘If you don’t have a weapon, it’s a fight you’re no match for.’
No matter how childlike his body was, I wasn’t confident that I could subdue him with my bare hands.
In fact, it was more appropriate to view it as a wolf-like animal rather than a child.
Goblins flocked together like animals and were hell-bent on killing people.
‘ah! there is.’
Luckily, I saw the dagger dropped by the goblin a few meters ahead.
I tried to go and pick it up right away, but someone else intercepted it.
“ah.”
I immediately looked around to see if there were any weapons on the floor.
I had a wooden club so I chose that.
Actually, there was no choice.
“die! “Die, you bastard!”
I saw a man stabbing a goblin next to me.
It was the man who had just intercepted the dagger.
Min Joo-ri also raised her club towards the goblin that was running towards her.
Huh!
I missed it.
In the first place, I was clumsy because I had never swung something or tried to hit it.
“Kit!”
The goblin laughed and jumped in, looking for an opportunity.
A sharp dagger penetrates the body.
Sigh!
It was a situation where I expected terrible pain, but there was no pain.
The thumping noise belonged to the person next to me.
“Ahhhh… … .”
The man who was killing a goblin with a dagger earlier was stabbed.
Puff puff! Sigh!
Before he knew it, the man was in a situation where he was being slaughtered by goblins.
Meanwhile, Min-ri Min paid attention to the message that appeared in front of her.
[Currently overlapping shield 9/10]
[Currently overlapping shield 8/10]
[Currently overlapping shield 7/10]
… …
… …
… …
The protective shield is shrinking.
It’s not because the person next to me just died.
It was because the goblin in front was stabbing him.
Kang! Kang!
“Kiik! Kiik!”
The guy was knocking on the translucent wall created in front of him.
As the sword struck the wall, the number of protective shields decreased.
‘Oh, no.’
Bah!
Minjoo-ri, who came to his senses, belatedly hit the goblin in the bone.
Sigh! Sigh! Quick!
Once, twice, three times.
It wasn’t until the blood spread on the floor that I remembered the message.
[The goblin has been defeated!]
[Experience +4%]
[Gold +10]
‘Ha, I caught one.’
Meanwhile, people were moving and flocking.
At that time, another message came through.
[Currently overlapping shield 10/10]
The shield, which had been reduced to 3, had already reached 10.
At that time, Minjuri realized.
‘Ah, this… … It was a really good thing.’
It is a fraudulent rune that guarantees survival.
* * *
It wasn’t difficult to catch 100 goblins.
The rune of protection made it possible.
‘I lived. I lived… … .’
Thousands of people had to die or be destroyed by goblins.
I returned to reality with a sense of guilt.
“ah… … .”
“Juri, Juri! “Are you awake?”
“ah… … bar?”
My dad was looking down at himself lying on the bed, crying like chicken shit.
“This place… … Is it your house?”
“okay. Is it your house. “I brought you here after you suddenly collapsed at the convenience store.”
“ah! “I was at the convenience store, right?”
I remember it all.
Even though it was a dream.
“Dad, I had a strange dream… … .”
It was too vivid to be a dream, but I had no choice but to dismiss it as a dream.
Because if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have the confidence to live sanely.
I just beat round 1, how can I survive round 20?
Dad, who had been quietly listening to the story, sighed deeply.
“Dream… … “I guess not.”
I could tell from breaking news that it wasn’t a dream.
1.8 billion people suffer from narcolepsy.
Only half of them survived, and he was among those survivors.
‘Dream… … ‘No?’
The status window that lit up proved that it wasn’t a dream.
The father was happy that his daughter came back alive, but he couldn’t even smile because his life was on the line.
The new year came, but I wasn’t happy.
A national disaster has come, forcing me to give up everything, including my dream of becoming a doctor.
From that day on, Min Joo-ri searched for various information to survive.
I looked around the community, but I couldn’t find any information about the next round, and there was only speculation.
As the time for the second round approached, my anxiety grew.
‘are you okay. ‘I have a rune of protection.’
The rune of protection was also applied in real life.
When I go to a place where there are a lot of players, a message automatically pops up.
It wasn’t that difficult to build 10 stacks.
‘Min… … What happened? Did you pass the first round like me?’
I was able to survive because I had good runes, but what about Ryumin?
‘I’m curious, but I don’t have a way to contact you… … . Because it’s vacation, I can’t see you even if I go to school.’
Just in case, I went to the restaurant where he worked, but I couldn’t find him.
Since I wasn’t always at work, I developed anxiety that I never had before.
‘I guess not… … no way… … .’
Ryumin is strong.
If you have the tenacity and perseverance to work part-time despite being bullied by the gang, you will survive no matter what.
Even though I tried so hard to rationalize that I wouldn’t have died, I kept having bad thoughts.
‘He must have died… … . ‘Like everyone else.’
What good is mental strength in the face of a goblin with a sword?
‘No, let’s not confirm it. We’ll be able to meet someday. ‘If you’re alive.’
There is another reason to live.
I have to live for my father, but I will also survive to see Ryumin again.
Definitely in this game.
