Ch.164I didn’t know exactly what situation the game was in right now.
by fnovelpia
What is a righteous heart?
Does it truly exist?
Here, the hero could answer proudly.
‘Yes, it really does exist.’
Look, I’m showing it right now.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
This guy being punished now is clearly a criminal.
“Pl-ple-please… sp-spare… m-me…”
“Quiet.”
At a young age, he led group bullying and assault.
Despite continuously tormenting his victim until they fell into a coma,
He didn’t face any punishment simply because he was “too young.”
Does that make any sense?
Can someone really smash a classmate’s head with a beer bottle just because they’re young, immature, and didn’t know better?
He clearly knew what he was doing.
He acted knowing full well what the consequences would be.
That’s why.
Crash!
“Aaaaargh!”
I had to pay him back in kind.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
By the natural order of this world where crimes must be punished accordingly.
By the self-purification that must naturally occur.
“Grrrrgh…”
Today, I saved someone.
“What… is he dead? Just from foaming at the mouth?”
Luring him out was easy.
Just bump shoulders a few times and provoke him a bit, that’s all.
He probably doesn’t even realize he was baited into a place with no CCTV.
“Phew…”
I exhaled with satisfaction.
Put away my knuckles and gloves.
The judgment ends here.
Tomorrow morning, society will strike him down again.
So I immediately climbed over the wall to leave the alley.
“Okay! That’s good!”
As if they’d been waiting, the OK sign came down.
“Wow, your acting is amazing today! It’s always good, but is it because I haven’t seen you in a while? It feels more vivid!”
“It’s because the directing is good, that’s all.”
“Haha, this is… I feel so good getting praised by actor Kim Donghu.”
Director Lee Seongdeok approached me and showered me with compliments as if he’d been waiting to do so.
As we looked at the screen together, thinking about how to shoot better scenes…
“Ah, right! I almost forgot about this.”
“Yes?”
“The mid-section script is out, and there are parts that could change based on your opinion, Kim Donghu.”
“Mine?”
“Yes.”
Director Lee Seongdeok said this while pulling out a script from his bag.
The content itself wasn’t particularly special as it followed the early story, but
one special skill used by the protagonist caught my eye.
“He throws a ball?”
A baseball.
There was a scene where the protagonist, Hero, uses a baseball to chase after an escaping opponent.
“We can’t use guns in our country, right? Same with bladed weapons… so it’s a baseball.”
“Ah, that’s good.”
“I’m glad you think so, but what should we do? We can use a stand-in, or if you think it’ll look strange, we can remove it entirely.”
Director Lee Seongdeok said this while looking at me.
I held the script and carefully checked the content again.
“No, I can do it. I can throw.”
I immediately answered that it was possible.
Using the filming break, I said I needed to rest and went into the van.
‘Immersion.’
I immediately entered the script.
+++++
Huff.
Huff.
Huff.
I’m out of breath.
“Y-you crazy bastard! What the hell are you doing!”
I thought today would be just like any other day.
Walking around with my shoulders spread wide.
Finding someone who looks easy to target, bumping into them, beating them up, and taking their money.
Among drunk guys, the most important things were size and tattoos.
When those idiots with alcohol-soaked brains see me and suddenly sober up, the look on their faces…
It was absolutely ridiculous.
So I beat them up, and if I took a few hits in return, it wouldn’t be considered one-sided assault.
Just a few handshakes and that would be it.
But.
“Don’t follow me! Stay away!”
This strange guy suddenly approached me and started talking about his criminal record.
So I was going to teach him a lesson for being so arrogant, but…
‘How… why!’
He was on a completely different level from the guys I usually beat up.
From thoroughly covering his face to his fighting technique.
He was perfectly trained.
Knowing I couldn’t win against someone like him,
I desperately tried to escape from the alley, but…
Thud!
“Ugh!”
Thump.
Something flew through the air and hit me right in the back of the head.
Fortunately, maybe because I’d built up some fat,
I didn’t lose consciousness, just fell down momentarily.
“What, a baseball? Did you just throw a ball at me?”
He hit a moving target with a baseball, not even a stationary one?
“W-what the hell are you doing!”
I shouted at him once more, but the response was…
Thud!
A baseball hitting me square in the face.
Whaack!
And at that moment, the immersion ended.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
-[Recognizing the gap between the protagonist’s abilities and reality]
-[Downloading application ‘Cy Young’]
A message from Sims arrived.
And I was shocked as soon as I saw the application name.
‘Cy Young?!’
The application is downloaded with this person’s exact name?
‘The script probably only requires a decent throwing ability.’
Why did I receive the talent of a player who left his mark in history?
Thinking about it, I quickly reached a conclusion.
‘Maybe it’s because to act like you can throw decently, you need to throw extremely well?’
An age-old rule:
If something someone does looks easy…
‘That person is truly skilled at it.’
Following this rule, maybe that’s why this talent was downloaded immediately.
There’s a world of difference between actually throwing and throwing for acting.
“At this point, he’s literally a human weapon.”
I couldn’t help but laugh thinking about the weapons used by Hero, the protagonist of “The Real Hero.”
Gloves and knuckles for close combat.
And baseballs for perfect pursuit if a criminal escapes.
Just looking at the setup, he could rightfully be called a human hunter.
“So how far can an A-grade go?”
Muttering that, I checked my phone during the short break.
‘During breaks, it’s YouTube time.’
The algorithm was quite diverse, so I could just watch anything briefly and then close it.
As I was checking what to watch this time…
“…?”
《Golden Resolution: Trailer》
A very familiar title caught my eye.
“Isn’t this Kangsik’s game?”
++++++
“It really is?”
I clicked on it just to check, and I was right.
The first thing I saw when I pressed play was a chick holding a toy sword.
Then the camera angle changed to show a giant standing in front of the chick.
It was that giant.
The monster-like giant from the tutorial that showed just how powerless and pathetic the chick was.
The two of them soon begin to fight.
But the scale was no joke.
It made me wonder how they developed it.
The game movements were at a level impossible to see in 2017.
“…their own engine?”
No way.
Even for a genius developer, is that possible?
‘What if investment raised their ceiling?’
Would that make it possible? Thinking about this, I focused on the video.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As the giant approached and swung its hand,
The chick dodged nimbly.
But it was slightly different from normal rolling.
More like flailing with short legs.
‘Everyone else looks serious, but this one is bright and… hopeful.’
That mismatch actually made the situation seem more serious.
‘But where did that dragonfly and… everyone else go?’
I thought they said it was designed for multiplayer.
But all those elements seemed to be excluded.
It looked like it was designed as a strictly solo playing game.
Anyway, the battle between the giant and the chick continued.
And at the end, when the chick was pushed into a defensive position…
Click.
“?”
The chick, wearing dragonfly-eye shaped sunglasses,
Pointed a dragonfly-shaped revolver at the giant.
Beep beep! Peep!
With unintelligible questions…
Click!
The chick pulled the trigger, but.
Peep?!
Either there were no bullets or it misfired.
Boom!
Unable to dodge the giant’s palm strike that followed, the chick falls off a cliff.
The trailer ends there.
With the final text ‘HaPPY NoTe’, the video concludes.
“Wait, why didn’t he tell me about this?”
If he had told me, I would have promoted it like crazy.
Swallowing my slight disappointment, I immediately checked the comments.
ㄴWhat unknown company is making this masterpiece… seems fishy;
ㄴIt’s already on Steam though
ㄴLooking it up, this is a Korean game? LMFAO
ㄴA Korean company making something this good? It’s almost AAA quality?
ㄴDefinitely not that level, doesn’t seem that high quality… but they must have invested quite a bit
ㄴNo need to think about it, I’ll make a patriotic bet and buy it right away
ㄴTypical souls-like, but cute. Just the character lol
I didn’t even need to watch it.
It was full of praise.
“But I thought GOTY awards aren’t given out now…”
As far as I know, that happens a bit later.
Yet it’s already getting this kind of reaction.
Something seemed unusual.
++++++
Honestly, Choi Seokho wasn’t entirely happy about investing in Happy Note.
That’s because starting game development from scratch was truly a money pit.
Yet the reason he quietly invested was just one:
‘Because Donghu said to do it.’
He followed the instructions of a leader who naturally led to the best results if you just listened well.
But since Choi Seokho was still old-fashioned,
He didn’t have high expectations about making money by developing games.
And truthfully, he didn’t know much about that field.
Just at the investment level.
So…
“…Selling 50,000 copies on the first day is considered a lot?”
He didn’t exactly know what situation the game was in.
