chapter 446
446 – Ready Player One #1
446 – Ready Player One #1
There were various characters in the game D&A.
When you first start, it takes a while to even memorize names and faces.
There are so many characters with different personalities.
Not to mention “Victorica” And “Enio,” Who are considered main heroines, as well as the highly popular “Hilde Brun” And teacher “Domina,” And “Christina,” Who was an impossible heroine…
In addition to the main character “Luke,” Male characters such as “Dearmid,” “Melvin,” And “Jin” Were also popular.
Both performance and individuality.
If you complete each story quest, play time increases steadily.
The fun and purpose of D&A was for ‘players’ to have various characters in their party and go on their own adventures.
It was a process I was already familiar with, having played for countless hours and formed numerous party combinations. But I am about to play the game in the true sense.
As a player in the true sense of the word, I couldn’t help but feel nervous and nervous in many ways.
“Victor, what’s going on? “You called us all.”
As I was holding my sword in the training area near the club room, Luke approached me from afar, waving his hand.
His unchanging and lively appearance truly deserves to be called the ‘main character’ of the world.
“You clearly plan to have a festival before going to the Pantheon!”
Was Melvin there too?
Melvin was also as cheerful as ever.
If this is her, she will be a reliable vanguard.
“Melvin, we had a festival a while ago. “I’ve been to too many festivals these days.”
There was also Diarmid.
The guy was wearing armor made of layers of “Dragon scales” Over his school uniform. Looking at it, it seemed like all of these guys had easily passed the level 70s.
“Oh, this? We also went to that place called Tartarus. I could only go up to the 10th floor. It was amazing. Have you ever seen “Dragon of the Abyss – Demiurge”? He was really strong.”
Is it a dragon of the abyss?
As I was thinking of a monster comparable to Fairybane, Designer Jin adjusted his glasses and said.
“About subjugation level 75. It was slightly stronger than Fairybane.”
A dragon of the abyss, comparable to the fire dragon that caused us hardship and frustration.
Was it defeated by a party of four of these guys?
It’s amazing how the level has risen so much.
Luke said.
“Victor, although you are one step ahead now. Don’t forget that we have your back. “If you let your guard down, you’ll catch up quickly.”
Yes, I think so.
Damn genius guys.
But on the other hand, it was a very reassuring moment.
At the same time, my shoulders feel heavy as I look at their smiling faces.
“Why, do you have anything to say? If you have something to say, say it like a man! Victor, you are the most manly man I have ever seen! Haha!”
Melvin slapped me on the back.
It hurts.
Thanks to that pain, I was able to come to my senses.
“I am leaving for the Pantheon in three days.”
“Oh, finally!”
“We’ll probably be playing some ‘games’ there. At that time, you may be able to receive help from those on earth. And, you may be driven to death because of me.”
A moment of silence.
A short but heavy silence fell on the training ground.
“We might die because of you. What does that mean?”
Jin asked.
They seem to be curious about what it really means.
When I was wondering how I could answer this.
Luke was the first to intervene.
“Victor, I’m not sure what you want to say. But originally, it would have to do with the burden that Yumi and I would have had to carry.”
“It will be similar. It’s hard to go into detail, but when this is over, I owe you guys a big debt—.”
“Don’t worry. We don’t die that easily. And we are friends. I don’t care if it’s debt or anything. “You have saved our lives many times!”
It was Luke, smiling brightly and showing his white teeth.
Soon Melvin and Diarmid also said, “Okay, whatever, what’s going on!” Or “No, I’m a little worried?” And laughs sarcastically.
There was something funny about seeing that.
Are you a friend?
Yes, we were friends.
I also wanted to be friends with these guys for a long time.
I also wanted to laugh and talk together and live adventures together in the game world.
When I came to my senses, it was already like that.
* * *
When I looked towards the detention center, people were buzzing.
This is because there were a lot of miscellaneous criminals locked up.
“Victor, this is all because of you.”
Hilde tapped my side with a loud sound.
It seemed like she tried to hit it lightly with her fist, but Hilde’s level her was also quite high, so it hurt quite a bit.
Are you trying to control the regime?
“What is it about me?”
I asked as if nothing had happened.
Then Skadi, looking at the detention center with his arms crossed, said something.
“It’s like the end of the century right now. Everyone is so excited and excited that it’s not like there’s a fuss. There are a lot of people talking about the world being destroyed. Even the remnants of the Church of Genesis and Pymblebert are full of crazy people.”
I see.
Originally, you should have defeated Cain, obtained the crown, and then gone straight to the ending.
By that time, there would have been a narration that said, in fact, all the remnants of Pymblebert and the Church of Creation had been dealt with, and the days of Ludens had continued in peace.
As all sorts of incidents erupted, the remnants of Pymblebert and the Church of Genesis remained even in the current situation.
It’s probably because I couldn’t follow the main story of defeating them.
The world after the ending.
However, the incident took place at the end of the century.
Skadi’s expression was accurate.
No wonder crazy people run amok.
“Well, it’s nice that I don’t have time to be bored every day.”
The sight of Skadi cracking his fingers was filled with quite a bit of enthusiasm.
As she was constantly fighting criminals, it seemed like the guy’s level had risen considerably.
Same goes for Hilde.
“So, what business does a busy person have?”
Hilde asked.
“We are busy and you are also busy. If there is business, it is better to speak briefly.”
I see.
As expected, it’s nice to have a refreshing personality.
Then, let me try to speak coolly.
“Let me touch your chest.”
I clenched her hands in front of her.
Then Hilde nodded and answered.
“You want to be locked up in jail?”
“He’s a red-light criminal.”
Clap-.
It was Skadi taking out handcuffs.
Then Hilde bursts out laughing.
“Victor, you’ve changed a lot since you left the executive committee. “I learned how to tell jokes.”
No, it wasn’t a joke.
I really wanted to touch it at least once.
However, Hilde arbitrarily dismissed my story as a joke.
“Honestly, it is true that I like the person you are now more than the person you were when you were an executive committee member. However, with so much work going on, I can clearly feel that there is a shortage of executive committee members.”
Sreuk-.
Hilde took something out of her pocket.
It was a badge depicting a ferocious dog.
“This?”
“You know very well. It’s a badge with the executive committee symbol on it. Victor, I would like to appoint you as an honorary executive committee member. “If there is nothing to do, you help our executive department.”
Indeed.
If I have this, I will also be able to have the authority of an executive committee member.
Now that I have the crown in my hands, I wonder if this has any meaning.
It was one thing for proud executive committee members to put forward this.
It is a sign of being a ‘comrade.’
Executive committee members take pride in fighting shoulder to shoulder with people wearing the same badge.
Originally, it was after obtaining this “Badge of Honor” Item that I was able to have Hilde and Skadi as party companions.
Skadi said.
“I heard it from Jin. They say you need our help? Are you saying it could be life-threatening? If you need help, speak up. No matter what, aren’t you part of our executive family?”
“I see.”
I liked that the story was fast.
Even if I stay here now, all I can do is take up the time of busy people.
I put the badge in my pocket and left the executive office.
Hilde shouts from behind me as I push open the door.
“Everyone stand at attention, salute!”
Chuck-.
All students in the executive department placed their clenched right hand and left hand on their chest.
This is the saluting posture of the executive branch.
Sigh, pot-.
I also placed my clenched hand on my left chest.
Then Hilde screams.
“Victor, don’t lose! No matter who the opponent is! Because it is the strongest that cannot be defeated by anyone, it is the executive branch! Don’t forget that defeat is not acceptable to the executive committee!”
“Hilde, that’s true, but you made all the noise. “I think it got too hot.”
“Well, I’m just cheering.”
I walked forward while listening to Hilde and Skadi cheering.
The main building of the student center is located nearby.
When we went up there, the student council members were sitting at the table.
“Senior Victor!”
Milone, a blonde girl, was hugged to me.
Then she rubs her face back and forth against my chest.
“Seup, ha, this is the smell of someone with a crown. A better smell than any gold coin… Hopefully, she’s not a queen, but she’s a concubine, ugh, ow, ah, ah!”
“A cheeky first-year student. “Fall.”
Milone, the clerk Shadi’s hand took her by the ear and took her away from me.
Shadi hummed while looking at Milone who was crying while touching her ear.
“Victor, what’s going on here?”
“Because I had something to tell you before I left for the Pantheon. I don’t know what will happen to Ludens when I head there. Your role will be very important then.”
The student council was a very important command center.
Only when this place is well-centered can Ludens Island maintain peace.
“Of course, you have already done well enough without me having to say this. “I guess it’s thanks to you guys that Ludence has been maintained despite the many problems that have occurred so far.”
Christina, who was sitting in the secretary’s chair at my public office, burst out laughing.
“Wow, that’s a lot of praise, Victor. “I feel somewhat embarrassed to hear such a thing from the most famous and great person on Ludens Island.”
It was like he was really embarrassed.
But I wasn’t just paying lip service.
This second semester was full of unexpected events.
From the demons to the Genesis Church meeting and the Orca incident as well.
However, the reason Ludens students were able to maintain their daily lives was thanks to the student council, which worked hard day and night.
“I especially admire you, Christina. It was Victorica who was chosen as the student council president. Honestly, Victoria isn’t even doing half of her job as the student council president.”
When Victorica is excitedly fighting as a member of my party.
It was purely the resourcefulness of Christina and Shadi, who were general secretaries, that filled the gap in the student council.
“Christina, when the time of peace comes, I think you, not me, will be the one most worthy of the crown.”
“… !”
Christina was very embarrassed.
In fact, Christina’s dream is to find the’crown’and become’king’.
She soon showed enthusiasm on her face, as if she had not yet given up on the dream.
“Victor, please don’t forget that I am always looking out for both the student council president position and the throne. I have no intention of remaining second in command forever. And, regarding love…”
Christina was blushing as she spoke.
Soon someone cleared their throat and said, “Hmm.”
“I can’t just listen to it and ignore it. It wasn’t just the student council that was active. “I want you to know that we, the vigilante group, Vigilante, are also working for peace in Ludens.”
When she turned her head, she saw a female prosecutor with a squirrel on her shoulder.
She was Akasha, a member of the vigilante group.
“Victor, there are definitely amazing animals living in the Pantheon, which is called heaven. “Maybe there is a rainbow Michuri that goes down in legend.”
What is Rainbow Michuri?
Is it like a gaming quail?
“I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of animals there will be. So make sure you come back alive. “I want you to tell me what kind of animals you met there.”
I see.
Akasha still likes animals.
I liked animals too.
Cong, Orléans, Elisabeth, etc.
There isn’t much time left to see them now.
“There are not even three days left. “Victor, I will keep an eye on the foolish student council, so go where you need to be.”
Zek-.
Akasha pointed outside the student council room with her white gloved finger.
“Akasha, you are good at carrying gloves now.”
“Because you can’t throw stockings like an idiot in a duel.”
Did she know that she was a fool too?
He is a funny guy in many ways.
But what Akasha said was right.
There are only 3 days left.
I also have to go back to where I belong.
“For your information, I received a call from the workshop. Victor, I heard that what you ordered has been completed. “Four little accessories.”
“Indeed.”
I stopped by the workshop, picked up the items, and then headed to the club room.
A place where the guys I want to see are.
Because it was a place where there were guys who wanted to see me.
“──”
“─ Is correct!”
“You are both wrong.”
Zek-.
As I stood in front of the club room door, I heard someone talking loudly.
When I opened the door, I saw three women sitting in the club room, blushing at each other.
“Victor!”
Nike was the first to welcome me.
And then he runs to me and says.
“Did you greet people well? “You went around and said hello before leaving for the Pantheon, right?”
“Okay. “I think I’ve probably done everything.”
Now all that’s left is you.
But I couldn’t get out of my mouth easily.
To begin with, I wasn’t a good person to talk to.
So instead of speaking, I rummaged through my arms.
And I took out four accessories that I had requested from the workshop.
When I placed it on my palm, Nike tilted her head.
“Ring… ?”
