Chapter 124: Wow! It’s Taecho Village!

Jump Up.

Made by. jinha_na

Production time, 2 hours plus alpha.

The rules of the game were very simple.

Just jump up using the various objects visible in front as footholds.

There are no separate complex controls, no pressure to defeat enemies, and no psychological warfare involving reading opponents.

It’s a game that ends when you reach the goal located at the top by climbing numerous platforms sequentially using only jump and movement keys.

But the real fun of this seemingly simple game…

“Kyaaaaak!! Bom, not this way, not this wayyy!!”

“Aaaak! Unnie, wait a minute!!”

…begins with the desperate screams of the two falling.

Due to the low gravitational acceleration set in the physics engine.

Spring and Fall were.

Slowly, very slowly…

Falling.

‘Maybe there’s a hidden flight function?’

‘At the very least, can’t I move even a little in mid-air?’

Fall frantically flailed her arms and legs, trying to maintain balance in mid-air.

Of course, such a cartoonish thing as stepping on air and jumping up couldn’t exist in Jina’s realistic world.

Fall’s desperate and futile struggles just looked comical.

Next to her, Spring, as if having already given up, covered her face with both hands and just kept screaming.

Like that, Spring and Fall passed the floating cloud platforms.

Skimmed past the slippery ice platforms…

And continued their endless descent towards the starting point.

At the fact that tens of minutes of effort had turned into bubbles in an instant, Spring and Fall sat on the map floor, legs outstretched, with expressions like their lives were ruined.

Unlike the two, who were properly experiencing a sage moment (post-nut clarity/moment of enlightenment after failure), the viewers’ dopamine was properly exploding.

[-LOLOLOLOLOL]

[-Welcome back LOL]

[-Irasshaimasei~ (Welcome~)]

[-No, this game seems kind of crudely made, but why is it so fun LOL]

[-Where can I download this game? Looks f*cking fun]

The desperate feeling of despair when falling after painstakingly climbing for a long time due to one tiny mistake, eventually returning to the starting point, is exquisite.

However, bearing this emptiness alone is too suffocating.

Designing it for two players, to share the pain, was Jina’s final consideration.

And so, Fall was called out.

She was the optimal partner, not only familiar with flight (or rather, falling) systems and VR games, but also someone who wouldn’t get discouraged thanks to her bright and optimistic personality.

“Bomaaaah… Why do you keep jumping in the opposite directionnnn…”

But even such Fall was about to break after repeated free falls.

Fall’s dark evolution version, DeepDarkCorruptedFall, is about to pop out.

“Unnie… I’m really sorry… But my fingers don’t move as I want them to.”

Fall stared blankly at Spring’s face for a moment, then soon smiled again with her characteristic bright and energetic voice.

“Hey~ It’s okay! Still, you’re definitely climbing better than at first, right? Next time, we can go even higher!”

As expected of Fall unnie.

Spring was grateful and relieved by Fall’s positive personality.

‘If I had played this game alone?’ Then she might have already become thoroughly damp and broken.

[-Still enduring? Tough, tough]

[-Those who want to ascend vs. Those who want to descend]

[-So where can I buy this!!]

Spring, glancing at the chat window, squeezed her eyes shut and sighed inwardly.

‘This content is clearly to get used to the feeling of floating.’

‘It’s a training ground Jina Mama made by taking time out of her busy schedule.’

‘This isn’t why I started this content…’

Somehow, she had become a log again, getting carried by Fall.

“Alright~ Then, 11th journey, depart!!”

At Fall’s energetic voice, Spring mustered her courage once more.

“Yes! This time, even a little higher…!”

‘Right, I can’t just keep getting carried like this!’

One of the things Spring is relatively confident in is trying hard and not giving up.

She even stubbornly cleared the Jar Game after playing for so long it was called an occupation!

A jumping game like this… surely…!

Like that, Spring and Fall, mindful of the rope tied to each other’s ankles, gathered their strength and leaped towards the first platform.

No, they tried to leap.

“Unnie, left! Ah, no wait! Is it right?!”

Spring, with only her enthusiasm ahead, just slammed the jump key and saw.

“Wait wait wait!! Bom, look at the platform position, then slowly… Uwaat?!”

The flustered Fall also unknowingly pressed a button, and the two got entangled in mid-air, landing flat on their butts.

The chat window was flooded with laughing emojis at the sight of the game avatars tangled up and flailing on the floor.

[-11th try –Complete-]

---

If it were just about stepping on 3D objects placed in mid-air and climbing, they would have reached the top long ago.

Unfortunately, Jina is a malicious game developer who can’t just leave it at that, so she put numerous gimmicks in between the platforms.

One of them is the ice path right in front.

“You know this is slippery, right? Let’s go slowly.”

“Yes, unnie! I’ll be really careful this time!”

Spring made a solemn promise at Fall’s cautious voice.

But if her body moved as her mind willed, Spring wouldn’t have been called a 겜못스 (game-noob).

“Uwaa?!”

As soon as she placed her foot on the ice, Spring’s body couldn’t withstand the light friction and wobbled.

Fall, who was barely maintaining balance, quickly moved her character to Spring’s opposite side as soon as she saw Spring instantly slip.

“Bom, try to get up somehow! I’m holding on, so calmly!”

[Emergeeeency!!]

[-Hold onnnn!!]

[-Fall fighting!]

Fortunately, thanks to Fall’s tearful efforts, Spring somehow managed to get her character back onto the ice platform.

Thinking she had overcome one hurdle, Spring unknowingly let out a deep sigh, huaaa-.

“Don’t be too nervous. If we fall, well, we just climb back up from the beginning, right? Isn’t that so?”

“Yes… If it wasn’t for unnie, I would have been in big trouble…”

The problem is, the ice path is just the beginning.

As they say, one mountain after another, next is the trampoline in front.

Having already fallen here four or five times, Spring was extremely tense and swallowed dryly.

“Alright, Bom! We have to jump at the same time here. Got it?”

“Yes, Fall unnie!”

Spring clenched her fist as if making a vow, and Fall slowly nodded.

The two matched their breaths and carefully stepped onto the trampoline.

The surface underfoot, the vision, sways like water.

One, two, and three.

Just at the moment they matched their breaths for the first time and stepped on the trampoline simultaneously.

“Waaaaaaah?!”

Spring, surprised by the unexpected elasticity, squeezed her eyes shut.

The trampoline had bounced the two much higher into the sky than expected.

Meaning, until now, their timing hadn’t been right, so they hadn’t fully received the trampoline’s tension.

At the momentary feeling of floating in mid-air, Spring’s hand froze.

Unable to even open her eyes properly in the slowly floating vision, Bomrani shrieked, Kkieaaak-.

“Aaaak! Unniiiie! This is weird!! We’re not supposed to go this high!!”

‘I thought I grew a little.’

But she couldn’t handle it as soon as the past problem was slightly modified.

“Ahahahat! This is fun! It could go this high?”

Fall, however, was properly excited. This moment of jumping as one with Spring for the first time is enjoyable.

“Now, if we just land well, it’s perfect…”

“Aaaak!! Kyaaaak!!”

“…Bom? Calm down, Bom!”

“Impossible! No! Scary! Kyaaaak!!”

Of course, listening to Bomrani’s ear-splitting cries wasn’t very enjoyable.

Spring, flustered, instinctively mashed the controller buttons.

As a result, the avatar Spring controlled started flailing its body and swinging its arms around.

Every time the avatar moved violently, the rope connecting their ankles shook rapidly.

Eventually, even Fall, who was trying hard to maintain balance, began to spin in mid-air due to Spring’s sudden movements.

Soon, Spring and Fall’s bodies got tangled and began to fall slowly.

In contrast to the two slowly falling towards the starting point, the chat window scrolled up rapidly.
