episode_0340

Late morning. An office in a business complex.

A woman with swarthy eyes was looking at the monitor.

Her appearance is beyond words. Grumpy hair. A mouth full of sweet smell.

As the release date approaches, crunch time has not subsided, and there is no time to relieve the stress that has built up since I can’t get off work.

But this too will end soon.

Lastly, the death scene of the sub-main character, which is said to be the core of the game. That’s because the 122nd death scene was just completed.

DEMO #122

Phew.

A razor-sharp blade plunges into the man’s chest.

The dumbfounded face is a sight to behold.

The man literally looks like he doesn’t know what’s going on.

[Why, why is it unreachable?]

Even though his earnest hand gestures, tone of voice, and every single thing he did, he was expressing his resentment toward the girl.

The response to him was even colder.

[What do you say, just search?]

“Yura, how about this time? As you said last time, in a decadent way… I sprinkled blood on it.”

“……Yes?”

Yura flinched and turned around at the sound of a voice coming from the back of her head. It was Assistant Manager Park of the animation department.

“What did you think? During the preview on Monday, you kept saying that the face of this male character, Siron, didn’t give you as much emotion as you intended.”

“Ah… Yes. I think it worked.”

“Then shall we proceed like this?”

After finishing saying that, Assistant Manager Park quickly left the place. Yura, who was looking at her back drooping due to fatigue, began to stare at the monitor again.

Click the Play Demo button.

[Why, why is it unreachable?]

play.

[Why, why is it unreachable?]

Play again.

[Why, why is it something that cannot be reached…]

“…Did you make him look too handsome?”

Yura, who was watching the demo, turned on the modeler and traced the impressions in her memory.

It’s true that even when he was young, he had a high opinion of himself and was full of decadence, but I don’t think he ever felt this way.

But what can you do as the release date approaches? The face of Assistant Manager Park, another department that just passed by.

It was scary. If I asked for further revisions here, I would have the illusion that only one person would be involved.

‘but. I must have stir-fried it so much when I made it.’

Yura didn’t stop loving Siron Prien’s custom model. You can take off the formal avatar you were wearing, and try reducing and increasing the size of the Easter stick hidden inside your underwear.

It may seem like something a grown adult would embarrass himself at work, but there is a reason for this.

Hyunjun Cha. I’ve been with him since I was young… but now I don’t hear any news from him. Because Siron Prien’s original model was an unpleasant childhood friend…

I end up getting grumpy without even realizing it.

Even when I think about that time, my head hurts so much that it interferes with my daily life.

…not because of anger or resentment. This is because the core of regret has not yet been resolved.

-It’s a start.

When we parted ways, the last words we heard were a double curse that is hard to put into words, but just thinking about that time makes me kick the blankets every night.

-I told you, right? They say it won’t work that way.

Why did he say that? Since Hyunjun was heartbroken, she could have comforted her more affectionately… She was so childish at the time, so her perspective was narrow.

but.

‘That’s it.’

However, I thought it would be too much to just turn around and chew up all the contact.

No, I don’t know. I bought a cake and went to his house to apologize, and he said he was going on a long journey across the country.

A month later, I visited again, and this time I went backpacking to Mongolia or Nepal.

‘Jjomsaengi. ‘Why are you as tall as a stick and not even given a chance to apologize?’

After that, I went to Hyunjun’s house, but in the end I couldn’t meet him.

Working holiday. Himalayan trekking. Across the Great Lakes. I went around a lot.

I don’t know if the shock of dropping out of college was that big or what was going on so much, but the important thing was that I was convinced that Hyunjun had no intention of meeting me.

Stop loss.

To cut off a childhood friend of 10 years so easily?

I felt sorry for being so harsh, but this frustrating feeling wouldn’t go away… The problem kept getting bigger and there was no way to resolve it, which created other problems.

Born. This is the reason why a character based on Cha Hyun-jun’s appearance was included under the authority of the CD team leader.

‘Bog, fuck.’

Buuu-

At that moment, when I was rubbing my crotch with my mouth sticking out, the cell phone I had left on the desk vibrated.

‘Who is it?’

[0xx-xxxx-xxxx]

It was an unknown number. Although it would be wise to hang up on suspicious numbers, Yura grabbed her cell phone and went up to the terrace just in case.

“Who are you?”

-Mr. Yura! Can you call me?

‘Who is it?’

Yura frowned and tried to remember the owner of the voice. Since she called me by name first rather than by rank, it seemed like she was from outside the company, but in her memory, she had never heard anyone speak so lively.

-It’s me! Piston’s Hyejeong!

“Ah… I’m sorry. I’m so tired these days that I’m out of my mind.”

Yura immediately apologized to the person on the phone. Piston, the parent company of the game developer Shin Yu-ra worked for, was Executive Director Lim Hye-jung, who played a critical role in Yu-ra’s promotion.

-Ahaha! It’s me who’s sorry. It’s so close to the release date, why did I call for no reason?

“Oh, no. But why did you make the call…?”

-ah! It’s no different. A new work coming out this time. [Reincarnation Geomshin] What do you mean? A minor problem occurred during an internal demonstration.

“Yes…?”

At that moment, a shiver ran down Yura’s spine. Internal demonstration.

An exhibition where the CEO of a subsidiary presents the games created by team members through their own efforts in front of executives of the parent company.

I used the word ‘minor’ to say that there was a problem there, but I felt like I was suffocating.

“Sorry, sorry. Just tell me and I will correct it right away…”

-Oh, that’s not it! Um… how do I explain this? I’ll send it to you right away! You’ll understand faster when you see it for yourself!

“Ah, then I will report the issue through the in-house contact network…”

-Outside of that, let’s work smarter.

“Yes?”

-I’m sending it to you. Don’t you understand?

What are you talking about? I’m sending it to you… You’re sending it to me?

It was a moment when I, as a salaried worker, was trying to understand the Managing Director’s intentions.

A tingling feeling of dizziness.

The hands that were holding the railing lost strength.

“Uh.”

And floating – the feeling of floating in the air.

My feet fell to the ground.

What you see is the stairs on the first floor. A sharp edge that will hurt you to death if you get cut into it.

-Mr. Yura? Mr. Yura?!

The last thing I heard was the sound of a cell phone not being turned off.

*

Reincarnated Swordsman.

A girl who was a warrior 500 years ago. A simple story game about coming back to life, becoming a warrior again, and saving the world.

I slipped on the stairs and ended up in that game.

No, I didn’t even enter the game.

The main setting of Reincarnated Swordsman is 500 years after the Great War, and Yura is not a character in the game, but was born as the last child of an old couple living in a corner of the countryside.

Rebirth.

Yura recalled the time when she first opened her eyes in this world.

In the spirit of a grown lady, let’s do it in a swaddle! The times when I cried. There were times when I shed tears of sadness, wondering why this was a lightning strike!

“Thank you so much.”

But in the end, that was just a once-in-a-lifetime feeling.

Now, 15 years have passed since then. The old couple who took care of Yura had already lived out their lives and were buried underground.

Yura bowed twice to the tomb and stared at the translucent window in front of her.

[Bbaampababam! They took care of the elderly couple with the utmost care and even held a funeral for them! good job! I will give you 500 hero points as a reward!]

“Nimi.”

A harsh curse came out of Yura’s mouth.

‘The hero points are damn good. There was nothing like that in the game I made.’

When she was young, her personality softened somewhat after spending time with Hyunjun, but as she lived a barbaric life in a medieval fantasy world, her personality became even more toxic than it was back then.

But whether she swears or not, her job is done.

A remote area far away from the village where Yura lived. A barbaric land where the tribe of Sileia lived. A lake at the beginning of the northern snow mountains.

They had to find Kylie, a 10-year-old girl, and prevent the destruction of the world.

‘Where… how many points do you think you’ve accumulated?’

[20340 pts]

Indeed, after clearing missions day and night for 15 years, I gained quite a few points. But 20,000 points feels like just the beginning.

There is no reason why I waited until I was 15 when I could have left home a long time ago.

Tiring-

[Hero’s Store]

Yura’s hand quickly lowered the translucent scroll.

[1 pt water bag containing bottled water]

[1 dried meat 2pt]

[Durable leather bag 15pt]

[Class Change 300,000pt]

[Resurrection 350,000pt]

[Star of Wishing 777,777pt]

“Good.”

Yura pressed the button with the holy sword on it without hesitation. A flashing, loud light flashed in the forest, and before she knew it, a handsome heavy sword was in her hand.

“This… a holy sword?”

Although Yura could not feel mana and had no talent for martial arts, he knew that this sword was not just a sword.

Is this really because it was a sword obtained by spending 20,000 points? I already felt courage welling up from deep within my heart.

“Kylie wait! I am Gandaku!”

I don’t know if it was because of the Holy Sword’s influence, but there was no fear.

Because I had a ‘perfect’ plan that I had been working on for a long time.

I literally feel like I can accomplish anything. Yura’s steps heading north were majestic.
