I took a deep breath and looked in the mirror. No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like what he thought was true, but it wasn’t that difficult to accept.

Blonde hair that shines with golden light, bright red eyes that seem to be made of melted ruby, and bronze skin that is scorched by the sun and shows off a healthy physical beauty.

Glittering gold piercings on the ears, thick facial lines, and sharp eyes.

The image of a golden sun, as if drawn from a painting, was reflected in the mirror.

Does this make sense?

He was clearly playing a game called Tactical Combat.

After achieving 100% achievement for the first time in the world, I created a character just to play around with the concept in the open custom mode.

But suddenly, as soon as you create a character, you become that character?

His head felt dizzy.

Originally, the game Tactical Combat seemed like a bit of a shit game, but that aspect stimulated gamers and made it a sensational game.

In addition, it’s funny to say that it was well made for a shit game, but Tactical Combat was a really well made game.

Considering the overflowing sense of realism, vivid NPCs, and solid story line, this was a game that could easily be called a masterpiece.

It was a Bell Bung game just because the balance patch was dirty, and he messed up the game and called it a buggy game.

The level of difficulty was so high that it felt like being shot in the head, and there were times when even the pilot cursed, wondering if this was a game made to be broken.

As with most games of this type, there were many gamers who defended this as content in the first place rather than complaining about the manufacturer, and he was one of those gamers.

Considering the amount of time he put in to achieve 100% achievement achievement, there was no need to say how much he liked Tactical Combat.

But being hit in the back of the head like this made me furious.

Is this even possible in the first place?

I sighed again, but nothing changed.

Rather, it was time to worry about the future.

This game was mainly about fighting while riding a huge aircraft called a giant soldier.

In short, it is a game where the player directly controls the giant soldier from the cockpit and fights.

When he first played this game, he was a former fighter pilot and started playing the game after taking it a bit lightly. Having experienced war, he had a natural talent for getting into the cockpit and moving around, so he thought it was at best a game.

However, this game was not called a shit game by many people for nothing. Even though he played the game with such confidence, he immediately got game over and the game was so vicious that he had to set it to bug mode under easy mode until he got used to the game.

Because he had some talent, he was able to become a low level player over time, but the moment he became the first in the world to clear the monumental achievement of 100% and created a concept custom character, he entered the game.

It’s a very logical summary.

I sighed again.

What now?

I really wondered what I should do.

Tactical Combat is basically difficult, but that’s because the difficulty of moving a giant soldier is considerable, but once you get used to it, it becomes quite manageable on bug difficulty.

In addition, the game’s status window system and characteristic skills help move the giant soldier, so as long as you somehow adapt to the game, you can enjoy it without difficulty.

In particular, the main character’s characteristic skill, Integration, was selected as the best characteristic skill in Tactical Combat.

This integration skill was a skill that helped increase the synchronization rate with the giant soldier, allowing for more flexible and precise control.

As you develop this skill, it evolves into a skill called Oneness of Water and Self, allowing you to control it almost as if you were moving your own body.

The only problem was that he didn’t have that deceptive skill.

Tactical Combat was basically a game where only the main character could be selected. As it was a game with a high degree of freedom, there were many things to enjoy just by playing with it, so there were no major complaints among users in the early days of the game.

However, the problem was the old characters that appeared over time after the game was released. They had adapted to the game from time to time and wanted new stimulation, and they wanted to play a character with a different narrative than the main character.

So what appeared was a custom mode. It was an unprecedented feature that allowed you to create the character you wanted and it would be reflected in the game.

People were drooling over the appearance of the new mode, and desperately hoped that the custom mode would be updated.

However, custom mode was not supported for all people. Custom mode could only be unlocked by achieving 100% achievement.

When a large number of gamers complained about this, the production company silenced their complaints with just one word.

– Achievements remain, but are they still stagnant?

With that one word, the stagnant water was scratched. They were confident that they had mastered a game, but as soon as they heard that, they gritted their teeth and started clearing all the achievements.

However, clearing Tactical Combat’s achievements was not that easy.

There were numerous achievements that were questionable as to whether they could be cleared, and many people were giving up.

However, there was someone who carried out that nonsense until the end.

That was Kang Do-jun, who just opened his eyes to this world.

With his incredible persistence, he achieved 100% of the achievements and proudly unlocked the custom mode.

Now that he had become a real person in name and reality, he had no intention of enjoying the custom mode he had worked so hard to open.

How was this mode unlocked?

In order to find a unique stimulus, he oriented the character with the concept of the golden sun, which was a popular meme recently. We set the goal of becoming the ultimate concept and proceeded with customization.

What was created that way was the characteristic skill and the body was awesome.

We created a very Golden Sun-like characteristic skill that allows you to use the main character’s final skill form, Driving Ilche, without any penalty when taking someone else’s aircraft.

It started with the idea that if you were Geumtaeyang, you would naturally have to steal something from someone else. It was a skill created with the idea that it would be fun to steal someone else’s aircraft while playing a game and skip the battle.

Perhaps, if it had been just a game, I might have praised myself for customizing it quite specifically. Isn’t it funny at first glance to think that a guy who looks like the golden sun would even steal someone else’s aircraft?

But now, that characteristic skill has truly become his characteristic skill.

The characteristic skill that could have been a secret weapon instead became a dagger that stabbed him.

As the name “Your Aircraft is Awesome” suggests, it was a flawed skill that could only be activated at the moment of stealing a giant soldier registered as someone else’s aircraft and riding it.

In other words, unless you stole a Giant Soldier registered as someone else’s aircraft and rode it, you could not use the characteristic skills, and you had to operate the Giant Soldier entirely with your own skills.

Is this correct?

Using a penalty like this was just a satisfying concept play, but when it became reality, it was just a penalty that didn’t help at all.

What do you like? I like it.

Unable to keep complaining forever, he somehow began to find the real reason why things turned out like this.

Of course, I had doubts about whether it was possible to enter the game, but since I confirmed that the current situation was not a dream, I had to put it aside and think about it.

Of course, how could something like that exist?

He was just a rotten person who enjoyed quietly posting his play to the community.

All I had to do was edit the things I thought were worth seeing alone and post them.

There was no arguing with anyone or writing a complaint email to the production company.

No, wait a minute.

There was one thing that was different.

Officially, he was the one who cleared all of Tactical Combat’s achievements the fastest. The production company also officially announced that he was the only one to clear all the achievements, so it was not an illusion.

“What the fuck.”

The swearing I had been holding in finally burst out.

Could it be that that was the trigger?

What kind of bullshit condition is it that allows someone who has cleared all of this fucking game to come in here?

There was no answer other than that. And after thinking about it for a bit, I thought that was right.

To be dragged into a game because you’re good at it… I can’t help but criticize you.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm down somehow.

It still didn’t feel real, but the situation hadn’t changed over the past few days, so I had to somehow make sense of the present.

When I took a deep breath, I was able to calm down to some extent.

In fact, it would be more correct to say that I had given up rather than calmed down.

Over the past few days, I have felt that no matter how much shit I say, the fact that I woke up to the world of Tactical Combat remains the same.

Is there a way to go back?

Now that I had given up, I had to think about what to do next.

A very basic question: Will he be able to return to the world he originally lived in?

Even though I was living in such a crazy game world, I honestly felt like I wanted to go back.

He had no connection to the original world.

He was the child of a single mother, and his mother had long since passed away from cancer.

Not only that, but my body was in disarray due to the terrible injuries from the attack, so there was no reason to go back.

But still, that was the world he was born in, and the place he would live and die.

No matter how terrible the place was, I had to go back because I had memories of sharing life, death, and ups and downs with my colleagues.

At least I had no intention of dying in a place like this.

What should I do now?

I took a deep breath and slumped down in my chair.

I didn’t know the exact reason why I entered the world of Tactical Combat, so looking for a way to return was nonsense.

Still, if I had to think about it, if he had been dragged here by clearing all the games in real life, on the other hand, if he had completed all the scenarios in this world, he might be able to return.

Actually, it was just a guess, and I thought there was only so much he could do.

He stroked his chin with the back of his right hand.

It was something I did unconsciously when I was worried about something.

-smart

“Master. The Count is looking for you.”

“…Okay.”

Are you not even giving me time to think about it?

I subconsciously tried not to meet my family in this body, but it seemed like that too had reached its limit.

Tactical Combat is, first of all, a console game.

What this means is that there is a story, and clearing the story is the way to play the game.

However, the golden sun character he created, Gilbert, did not have a separate background setting.

Although he created a custom character just to work out the concept, since he likes the world view of Tactical Combat as it is, he created the character by fitting him into an appropriate noble family.

Even choosing that noble family was not a carefully considered decision.

In order to raise initial funds, I chose a family with a relatively high rank and a long history, and the one that naturally caught my eye was the Hart family, the current Count of Lithuania and the title of Margrave.

Still, according to the game’s setting, the Count Heart family is a prestigious family recognized even in the empire, so it was an extremely good condition for him to live here in the future.

If I had insisted on adding more strange settings, I might have had to worry about the rest of the day.

The only problem is that Gilbert Lion Heart, who he is currently possessing, has set his custom character as a libertine in order to stick to the Golden Sun setting.

He is the eldest son of a count family, but he is a libertine.

What does this mean?

It was said that he had become the eldest son of a rich noble family that often appears in web novels.

I didn’t think the characteristic skill was a bit funny, but this was actually the biggest problem.

The setting of a libertine and a bastard has traditionally been a regular theme that appears in web novels. Although it wasn’t something he did, it gained quite a bit of cult popularity in that the possessor changed the actions of the original owner of the body.

However, if this were to become reality, it would not be a very interesting situation.

In fact, as I looked at the people around him over the past few days, I was able to get a keen sense of what his current reputation was like.

He was a real fucking bastard, nothing more or less.

Still, there’s nothing I can do about it.

I put my complaints to the back of my mind for now.

Because I had to go see Gilbert’s father, the Count of Lithuania, right away.

After brushing off and organizing his slightly wrinkled clothes, he headed to the office under the guidance of the employee who was waiting outside.

“Count. As you ordered, I brought the first master.”

“Come in.”

As soon as permission was given to come in, the door opened.

I sighed inwardly and calmed my trembling heart.

I haven’t been able to understand everything about this world yet, but if I can’t even pass this first gateway, it will be a long way to survive in this difficult world.

Having become Gilbert, he gathered his courage and entered the office, which looked like the entrance to purgatory.
