episode_0083

The Maxian I finally met was a human who was quite handsome in terms of appearance alone.

Not only did he look good, but his voice was unpleasantly good, and he was also tall.

If I hadn’t known about the ugly truth about him, I might have thought of him as a handsome, attractive idol-like guy that everyone would like.

I tried using analysis skills on him, but it didn’t work.

Just like a seeker like Elkahim, the skill didn’t work no matter how many times I used it.

I don’t know if my analysis skills can be blocked if I am recognized as a seeker by the maskers, or if it is because I am from another world.

Perhaps the maskers recruit people from other worlds like Maxian and me to become seekers, and because such seekers view this world with the sense of playing a game, they naturally commit evil deeds?

“Why is there no answer? Is it so beautiful that I can’t help but admire it?”

Maxian looked at me with disdainful eyes, belittling all the people in the world, and licked his lips with a sinister smile.

As soon as I saw that, I felt so uncomfortable that I got goosebumps all over my body.

“Are you just treating these people as collectibles?”

“Yes, these are the beauties I carefully selected. As for this work, she is my second older sister. The way he treated me was extremely arrogant, but his face and body were amazing. So, unlike other cubs, we did not kill him but turned him into a work of art. Isn’t that merciful?”

“I wanted to tell you what a great story, but all you ended up saying was absolutely pathetic nonsense.”

I didn’t want to listen to Maxian’s words anymore, so I aimed at his head and shot him with my magic pistol.

However, Maxian was not hit by a bullet and instead showed a relaxed attitude.

“Humans are nothing more than biological machines that move with electrical signals and hormones. So even a little interference between your eyes and your brain, like now, can cause you to aim in a completely wrong place.”

“Shut up!”

I focused all my attention and shot at all the vital points of the guy, but as expected, I couldn’t hit any of them.

So I took out the magic shotgun and shot, but this time I shot at the ceiling.

How did this happen?

“She’s a really impatient woman. I know how to shoot a gun too.”

Maxian aimed his magic pistol at me and pulled the trigger.

I believed in the mask’s effectiveness and did not dodge it, but the bullet grazed my cheek, causing blood to splatter.

what? Why the mask? Wait, was I wearing a mask to begin with? mask?

I suddenly felt incredibly confused.

Apparently, I received the Maskers’ favorite mask from Lucybel… but I’ve never used it at all.

“I think I’m starting to notice that things are starting to turn strange. From the moment you entered the villa, you were already caught in my net. If I wanted to, I could make even the emperor lick my feet right away! Hahahaha!”

Maxian saw me embarrassed and laughed in a different, mean tone than before.

After all, a guy who can manipulate minds is an enemy… Somehow, even when we went around and invaded the villa, they responded roughly.

And if what he says is true, there is a high possibility that the lord, Alicia, and even Elena are being manipulated by him, and I have clearly fallen into a trap.

However, seeing as Lucibel and Krausen, who had obeyed Maxian after being threatened, rebelled as soon as the opportunity arose, it is clear that this ability has loopholes or weaknesses.

“Oh, is that so? Then why don’t you use that great ability on me right now? Huh?”

“I’m a person who likes to go through stages, so I want to see you take off your clothes first. Ah, yes. Like now.”

I had no idea that I had taken off the robe I was wearing and was now naked until Maxian told me.

I didn’t feel any shame, but the sense of crisis grew bigger and bigger.

If a solution is not found quickly, he and his loved ones will suffer all kinds of humiliation and end up as Maxian’s collectibles.

“After that, it would be okay to spread your legs and open your pussy with your own hands to show me what’s inside.”

Fuck! When I wake up, my body is moving as I want.

This is so embarrassing that I feel like I’m going to die, but I can’t give in like this.

“You’re not an ordinary pervert to spill water even in this situation, are you?”

“Then don’t drag it like a virgin and quickly fuck my pussy! Are you really scared that you won’t be able to find a hole to put it in because you’re a virgin? Huh?”

“Be careful what you say. Now all your colleagues have guns pointed at their own heads. If I want to, I can blow off his head.”

“You’re just trying to say whatever you want, even if it’s a mess anyway, why?”

“You have no intention of giving up now. The only thought is to find an opening by provoking me somehow.”

“Ah, I got caught. So what should I do? And if you know all my thoughts, you would also know that I created this world. Do you know anything? If I fuck up, this world might fuck up with me.”

“What? Don’t talk nonsense. I am the creator of this world! I created this world, and only I have the right to live in this world as I please!”

Ah, the guy who knew I was provoking him was easily caught up in it.

I guess I was proud that I reincarnated into another world on my own. I’m sorry, but this world was created by me using artificial intelligence.

“Stop bragging like an asshole. Anyway, Arcadia is a world in a game I created with YWS. You may have thought you were playing a noble character with cheat skills, but that’s not true. All human races, demons, and all other unique creatures that exist in this world are all related to me, and the level of abundance and cleanliness of the world is just a result of my settings.”

“How do you play that game… No, it’s definitely a world where I have tentacles that I created and I can get cheat skills and live as I please. It’s ridiculous that you created it…”

Maxian, who was so energetic, trailed off for the first time.

After hearing that he was YWS and feeling very embarrassed, I felt my mind clearing up and I regained some control over my body.

I quickly quit my extremely ugly posture, picked up the magic pistol I had dropped on the floor, and looked closely at my surroundings.

It was definitely the room we entered, but the atmosphere was definitely different.

Although Maxian and I could see clearly, other people and the surrounding environment seemed blurry or shimmering.

If my vision is not wrong, is this perhaps a hallucination or a dream?

Aside from Maxian’s loud shouting, he didn’t even think I would bring up YWS, so I guess I’ll take a risk.

“What are you trying to do?”

“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think this is reality. Then, see you in real life, you idiot.”

I boldly pointed the gun at my head and pulled the trigger.

Anyway, if my guess is wrong, I will be humiliated and the end will come to an end, so I will just die like this.

However, it didn’t hurt at all, not a drop of blood leaked out, and my mind became clearer.

And when I clearly realized that this place was not real, my vision shook violently and I opened my eyes anew with the feeling of being sucked somewhere.

“Ah, it was a dream after all. Everyone wake up! How long are you going to sleep?”

I shook Laura and Iris at the same time to wake them up, and Lucibel, who was a little later than me, woke up on her own and slapped Krauzen on the cheek.

“Rebecca? Ah… it was all a dream.”

“That’s right. I don’t know how, but it seems like Maxian did something to our brains to force us to sleep.”

I opened my eyes first and stroked the cheek of Laura, who had a dazed expression on her face, to reassure her.

Laura looked at me with something very regretful, but I didn’t dare to ask why.

Then I shook Iris, who was still unable to wake up, harder and soon she woke up as well.

“Hehehe, Rebecca, our baby is cute… huh? Huh?”

“Iris, what on earth were you dreaming about? My baby?”

“Well, that means… It’s all Rebecca’s fault!”

Iris couldn’t make eye contact with me and suddenly started hitting my arm.

No, why are you blaming me for being embarrassed because of a dream you had?

But it doesn’t matter because it’s cute.

“Lucibell, how did you wake up on your own?”

“Something crazy happened and I immediately realized it was a dream.”

“I won’t bother to ask about the details.”

“Oh, it’s nothing special. It was a dream where you paid money to buy me and have fun with me. Having already seen your strong determination, I knew right away that it wasn’t reality. So I enjoyed it in moderation and woke up from the dream on my own.”

“I see.”

I was almost instantly captivated by Lucybelle’s captivating smile.

I feel like a fool for not being able to easily turn my eyes away from pretty people even in situations like this.

“Okay, now let’s really go deal with Maxian.”

I took the lead and headed towards the room within the room where Maxian was locked up.

Maxian didn’t know if he was scared or if something else had happened, but he didn’t think about coming out at all.

“Open the door! Or will I break it?”

I knocked roughly on the plain wooden door and shouted, but there was no answer.

So, I shot the lock with the magic shotgun, which is a great negotiation tool, and kicked the door with all my might to get inside.

“Maxian!”

I hit Maxian’s offended face hard with my fist as he slowly retreated.

With his ungainly posture and falling backwards, Maxian hit monitors and computers that, like smartphones, are completely unsuitable for this era.

To be honest, this small room felt similar to the bedroom I used when I lived in the old world, but I didn’t want to admit it.

“Fuck… I can’t believe I’m being treated like this!”

“It’s your fault for being startled and embarrassed by just one word. How confident do you have to be to become helpless as soon as you find out that I’m from the same neighborhood? Huh?”

“What on earth are you? Why have you come into the world I created?”

“As I said in my dream earlier, this is a different world from what you thought. It is a real world where life is alive and breathing. If you’ve lived your life thinking it was a fake until now, you’ve made a big mistake.”

“Don’t be funny! A status window pops up, I have skills, and I can control NPCs however I want, so why is this not a game? And I have a cheat skill. There’s a cheat that you don’t have… really?”

“You pathetic bastard. Is there anything in the world that is only good for you? It’s easy to think that the fact that you met me was just something that came to pass. If you hadn’t tried to kill me and Veronica in the first place, this situation wouldn’t have come to this.”

“Yes, I admit that you easily destroyed my sleep and dream manipulation skills. But you won’t be able to do anything to me, a nobleman.”

“Well? In my experience, no matter how wealthy a noble is, he cannot avoid a blind bullet on his own.”

I decided to shoot Maxian in the shin.

It was clearly an aimed shot, but it didn’t matter.

It would be enough if the people here just shut up and pretend it never happened.

“How dare you! Ouch!”

“Oh, my. The bullet was fired by mistake? It seems that gun management was poor. Giggling.”

“It fucking hurts! Fuck! Fuck!”

“It’s a game? It’s a game, so how could it hurt that much? If I lived here for over 20 years without even logging out, I should have accepted it as reality. Did you think that just because you had a handsome face and some cheat skills, the world was yours?”

“This can’t be happening. It’s definitely a world I created with YWS! It’s a world where I live as I please!”

“That’s what I’m going to say. I’m really curious how you managed to fit your setup into one that I’m mostly involved with. Maybe it has something to do with why this world is real.”

“Okay, then let’s do it like this. Find the truth of the world with me. There is no way to return to the original world… Argh!”

“Fuck you! Because I have no intention of doing that. I really don’t want to find out the unpleasant truth just because of you.”

I also shot Maxian’s other shin.

I don’t want to know the truth about the world, it’s enough to just truly believe that this world is real.

And in the first place, it is impossible to join hands with such trash.

When I think of the countless victims, including Iris, as well as the victims who were trapped in glass coffins and reduced to subhuman beings, I never want to walk down the same path as Maxian.

What suits Maxian is a painful death.

“You made smartphones and other machines with skills, right?”

“Okay… Ugh! Even if I can’t use the Internet, I can do everything else.”

“So you are originally from Korea?”

“Okay.”

“Do those guys wearing masks know about your identity?”

“I don’t know anyone except this guy who is a great leader. I didn’t even know who they were in the first place.”

“Then the last question. Where is the bomb?”

Maxian happily answered my question with an unpleasant smile.

“Tsk tsk tsk, it activated just now and is moving toward its destination. You guys are already late.”

“Where are you going? Speak quickly!”

“Why me? You’re going to kill me anyway, right?”

“I can make it into your collection or I can make you regret being born in this place. So it would be better to choose well.”

“You can’t stop it anyway. Because it never stops working unless it’s my voice.”

“We have Elena.”

“That naive NPC always believed what I said. There’s no way I’m really giving that bitch control! If I had known this would happen, I would have fucked that bitch earlier. Wow!”

I crushed Maxian’s mouth with my foot, who was spouting the most shitty thing I’ve heard today, and thought about a solution.

Oh yes, a computer! I put the Maxian aside and connected the monitor back to the computer to find out the location of the autonomous bomb.

Fortunately, perhaps thanks to Maxian’s cheat skill, the computer worked well without plugging in the electrical cord, and the location of the autonomous bomb could be known in real time.

In addition, the autonomous bomb’s field of view could be shared, making it possible to see exactly in which direction it was moving.

“You’re coming here, right? This dog is playing with people.##◦

“I will go and stop it.”

“Wait a minute! Krauzen! Hey!”

Krausen saw the location of the autonomous bomb next to me and ran straight out of the room, and I followed behind to stop him.

But without the magic armor, I couldn’t keep up with Krausen, and Laura and Iris caught me, so I couldn’t run any further.

Krausen tried to hit the leg of a flying saucer-shaped autonomous bomb running towards him from the hallway leading to the elevator, but his legs were so fast that he could not shoot it.

Then, Iris used her magic eye to blow away all of the autonomous bomb’s legs.

Of course it’s Iris! Thanks to Iris, the autonomous bomb lost its ability to move and was left floundering on the ground.

“Do you think you guys will survive if we stop that? If that explodes, the entire room will be blown up, and even if you survive, you will be infected with demon parasites. If you hit just one bullet properly, it will explode!”

“Then stop that right now!”

“I don’t like it? Like you said, if it’s a mess anyway, just throw it away! Hahahaha!”

“Fuck you!”

I hit Maxian hard out of anger, but it was of no use.

I thought Maxian might have lied, so I tried to connect with Elena, but it didn’t work.

It is clear that Maxian used a skill to block it.

People who are planning to die cannot be persuaded no matter what they do, so they are going crazy.

“There are 10 minutes left. There is enough time.”

“Krausen, what does that mean?”

“If I take this outside and run as far away as possible, you will be safe.”

“Don’t run away! You need to be punished by Elena!”

“I will be punished in hell. Please tell Elena that.”

“Hey! You idiot! That’s right… fuck!”

I wanted to stop Krauzen, who started running with the bomb, but Laura, Iris, and Lucybel, unlike me, had accepted Krauzen’s resolve.

I had thought about using Krausen as a cannon fodder, but I still had no intention of entrusting him with bomb disposal like this.

“You’re such a funny NPC that you suddenly try to act like a hero when you’ve obeyed me until now.”

“Shut up!”

After kicking Maxian once more in the face, who was laughing and bleeding even though several of his teeth were missing, I watched Krausen’s movements through the monitor and map window.

There were enemies who blocked Krauzen’s path, but they made sure to get out of the way.

Perhaps they were well aware of how powerful and dangerous the bomb was.

And Krausen, who went out of the villa, ran with all his might to the mountain behind him. When he had been running for almost ten minutes, his name disappeared from the map window and at the same time, a weak earthquake occurred and the basement shook slightly.

Krausen was clearly tricked by Maxian and participated in numerous evil deeds while serving as a member of his bodyguard, but he was at least prepared to be punished and ended up sacrificing his life for us.

I just couldn’t accept him negatively or positively.

It was a short meeting, but I don’t think I will easily forget that I owe him my life.

And I felt like I had to put an end to Maxian, who had made me feel such complicated feelings.

“Iris, you always said you wanted revenge, right?”

“Yes, Rebecca.”

“Lucibell, you want revenge too, right?”

“Sure.”

“I think so too. It would be better if we all punish Maxian together.”

I got up from my seat and approached Maxian with Iris and Lucibel, who wanted revenge because of personal grudges, and Laura, who had no personal grudges but wanted revenge for me.

Maxian, who had been loudly shouting that death would be enough, looked very frightened when the atmosphere took an unusual turn.

“You know the saying that revenge is just vain?”

“I know it very well. I know that’s bullshit. Everyone load up the flame rounds.”

“What are you trying to do?”

Instead of answering Maxian’s question, I poured a lot of rapid recovery capsules into his mouth and stuffed the transfusion patch into his throat.

And we simultaneously shot fire bombs at Maxian and set him on fire.

Even though Maxian was burned, his body quickly recovered and he could not die easily.

In fact, the wounds recovered so quickly that the body was transformed into a strange shape.

Like tentacles covering the women he called collections.

“Ugh! Just kill me! Kill me! Wow! Kill me! Please!”

“They say it’s okay if I die? Thank you for doing what you wanted.”

I listened to Maxian’s screams like sweet music, but soon got tired of them and left his side with everyone else.

“I was just thinking of killing him by shooting him, but there was another way.”

“I thought it would be better to use it as firewood rather than having blood on my hands.”

“I think I should never be your enemy. Huhuhu.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”

After finishing my short conversation with Lucibel, I approached Iris, who was still silently watching Maxian writhing in pain.

Iris was smiling a cruel smile full of joy that I had never seen before.

I didn’t want to see Iris like that anymore, so I grabbed her face and turned her towards me.

“Thank you, Rebecca. Thanks to you, I got my revenge. Now, once I finish my mom’s funeral, I won’t have any regrets.”

“Iris, let’s only think about good things now. We may not be able to make a baby, but we will still be able to live happily together with Laura.”

“Rebecca, I will live my whole life for you.”

Iris gave me a hot kiss.

The kiss accompanied by Maxian’s dying scream was not romantic or sweet at all.

I could only feel relief that the situation was over.
