Chapter 63 : Heading Towards the Truth (3)

Pwol Will Yoon went into the world of Gyeotddeundwinyak, and through the mirror of that world, he saw Jam in its reflection.

He had vaguely heard about Willhwakjan, but he had completely forgotten about it.

This time, it was said that the game he had played when he was a Kkwetmeot Beonkeum, <Lwonam Namjjui>, had become a real world.

Though it was an incredibly unbelievable situation, he decided to quickly gather information and understand this world he was suddenly

thrown into, to find a way to survive.

Lwonam decided that gathering information about this ‘end’ was the most urgent task.

He pondered what he had to do now, what to prioritize for survival, and recalled the game knowledge from his time playing Lwonam as

Baekgwimeot, thinking about his current options.

Baekgwimeot had low stats and few skills, but he clearly remembered the game’s ending, side stories, and hidden pieces he had thoroughly

explored.

All those things he knew were knowledge, information, strategies, and various other elements that could be advantageous in this situation.

‘…This knowledge.’

After Lwonam finished his assessment, this was the conclusion he reached after much deliberation.

He felt fortunate that he had played the game so thoroughly and remembered all of its contents; it was truly a lucky break.

Because of this, he was filled with a vague confidence that he could somehow manage in this world and achieve the ‘ending’ like a true

protagonist.

However, this thought, which he had barely managed to hold onto, was soon shattered, and his hope quickly turned to despair.

There was a reason for this despair.

Although he believed he remembered everything about the game he had played, just as he had thought, there was one thing he had

overlooked.

That overlooked thing was the existence of the patch notes.

‘Ah, sh*t, I forgot about the patch notes.

I really thought I remembered all the critical details.’

He remembered the game based on how he had played it years ago, but it was said that Lwonam, altered by countless patches since then, had

become an entirely different game.

It had changed so much that it was hard to find what remained the same, and the balance patches and strategies had become entirely

different.

The knowledge he thought he possessed was now largely useless.

He felt a chilling despair, like being thrown naked into a snowstorm.

‘…Is there really nothing I know then?’

[The tutorial has begun.]

Lwonam was not particularly strong.

If he wasn’t strong, he had to use his head well.

And if he didn’t have many choices, he had to utilize this world itself to the fullest.

The world, which he once knew like the back of his hand, had its settings completely changed and had become unfamiliar.

He had thought he could proceed like a protagonist in a game, but now that the information he possessed had become useless, it was truly a

desperate situation.

“In this kind of world, without Myapa, it’s difficult to do anything significant.”

Sseukkwetdwin recalled a faint memory.

He vaguely remembered seeing something like a strategy guide or a forum post somewhere.

It said that in a world where Myapa was scarce from the beginning, one absolutely had to use the ‘Myapa Drain’ skill.

He had completely forgotten about it in this sudden new world.

Of course, it was common sense that in a world scarce from the outset, one would undoubtedly need Myapa…

But he had overlooked this fundamental premise of the game world.

So, in this changed world, he had to figure out how to obtain Myapa particles, and that was the most fundamental task.

‘Then how do I obtain Myapa?

I’ll have to diligently search for hidden pieces and complete quests…

It seems I have to start from the very beginning.’

After thinking for a moment, one more thing suddenly came to his mind.

In this world, for Sseukkwetdwin to obtain Myapa, there was a unique method besides the usual ones: ‘Myapa Acquisition’.

A long time ago, when Sseukkwetdwin was a beginner player, he vaguely recalled seeing guides or forum posts.

He had seen it written in comments somewhere that Sseukkwetdwin had overcome various difficult situations using this.

In situations where progress was impossible due to changed quests or different clear conditions, Sseukkwetdwin had often been stuck.

At that time, Sseukkwetdwin didn’t know.

Or rather, he knew the word ‘knowledge’ but didn’t know how to apply that knowledge.

He had experienced many frustrating situations back then.

This time was different.

It was about Myapa.

Much later, a strategy guide Sseukkwetdwin had seen stated:

‘There is a special clear method for Hoel.Gwo.

It is written in an old Hoel.Gwo strategy guide.

It says that if you know certain hidden conditions, you can obtain the ‘Hidden Piece Reward’ through some sort of hidden element or

interaction.’

So, this ‘Hidden Piece Reward’ was none other than ‘Myapa’ itself.

The knowledge that Myapa, which was otherwise difficult to obtain, could be acquired through a hidden piece—like finding a treasure chest—

was very appealing to him, who was thinking about how to get Myapa.
‘Myapa’ was, in situations where usual methods were blocked, a reward like a hidden ace that could turn the tables.

It was a very attractive reward—

No, it was a reward that could solve everything in one go.

It was perfectly natural for him, who desperately needed it, to be very interested in this piece of information.

Whether it was through items, people, specific actions, skills, or whatever means necessary, he was resolved to find this ‘Myapa’.

Despite his strong determination to obtain it, he felt a sense of dread for some reason.

Among his memories of past information, this particular piece felt strangely different from the others, carrying a unique weight.

It was a very subtle and faint hint, like a fleeting scent at the edge of his senses.

He didn’t know the specifics.

But he sensed that this particular information was connected to something enormous.

It wasn’t on the level of ordinary items or skills.

It was a premonition that this information carried an incomparably greater weight.

His former self, who had written those strategy guides long ago, must have realized its importance back then.

He didn’t specifically recall the details of how to obtain Myapa from his memories.

But he had a strong feeling that this ‘Lwonam’ character was deeply connected to it.

He had forgotten many specific details.

But he was certain that Myapa was like a lifeline in this changed world, and that obtaining it was the absolute priority.

“I must find a way to obtain Myapa.

But how did Sseukkwetdwin obtain it in the first place?

When other methods of obtaining Myapa failed, Sseukkwetdwin used ‘Myapa Acquisition’ to overcome the crisis…”

The thought of some superficial change, or relying on a rare skill, had a 0.00% chance of success; it was just a fleeting notion.

The thought of relying on some common ‘Wap’ method that anyone could use was also utterly useless.

Therefore, such ‘Wap’ methods were of no particular help in this changed landscape.

Then, could ‘Myapa Acquisition’ also be considered such a ‘Wap’ method?

Options to obtain Myapa were inherently few.

So ‘Myapa Acquisition’ was not a common way to obtain Myapa.

It was described as a special method that could be used as a last resort.

It was far from being a ‘Wap’; it was something significant.

But now he was worried that if ‘Myapa Acquisition’ was truly a special method, there would be no easy way to find clues about it…

‘Whatever it takes, by using the information I have, I must obtain Myapa and somehow survive.’

As he organized his past memories, he recalled a crucial detail he had overlooked.

He remembered a certain game community site.

It was a place where Sseukkwetdwin, who was struggling to clear Lwonam, used to share information about item locations or ask questions.

He recalled intensely focusing on information related to items and people there.

And among those, he had been so deeply engrossed in discussions about Myapa’s characteristics and specific acquisition methods that he

almost forgot everything else.

He had to search for that information again, which felt like finding a needle in a haystack.

Though it would be difficult, this was now Lwonam’s only remaining hope.

…And then, one more thing occurred to him.

There was a method to obtain items relatively easily.

But it required a vast amount of past game knowledge, which he now lacked.

Beyond just general items, even obtaining basic starting items or class-specific items now seemed incredibly difficult.

However, he recalled that the acquisition method for one particular basic item always remained the same, no matter how many patches had

occurred.

After confirming its acquisition method in his memory, he realized this information was indeed correct.

This item, unlike others whose acquisition methods had changed, was a consumable that looked like a piece of jerky.

Its name was ‘Emergency Ration’.

‘So, if I obtain these Emergency Rations, then what…’

Ah, a sudden idea struck him.

He had only been thinking about obtaining the Emergency Rations.

But something else suddenly came to mind.

Among his past memories related to this item, there was one that could provide a crucial breakthrough.

It was about the item’s effect that he had forgotten.

Although it was just a common item, the Emergency Ration had a 0.00% chance of triggering a hidden effect.

He remembered reading in some item review or usage tip that if one continuously used this item, a hidden effect would trigger.

But he wasn’t sure if it was reliable information or just a baseless rumor.

Still, Lwonam’s heart pounded with anticipation.

The choices were heaven or hell, a gamble with no middle ground.

Would it be a hell where he’d gain nothing after struggling?

Or a great opportunity obtained through that struggle?

The choice he had to make in this game-like situation was, of course, clear.

Therefore, he had no choice but to take the gamble and see if the hidden effect of the item would trigger.

He was making a choice that felt like walking a tightrope over a cliff.

But since he had to do something anyway, he decided to act according to his thoughts.
