episode_0001

I was dropped into a strange world.

It seemed as though there could be no more clear words to describe my current situation.

There was no particular omen.

After working part-time at a convenience store as usual, I just kept up my routine of doing community activities and went to sleep.

But when I opened my eyes, a scenery that was far from the corner of my one-room apartment unfolded before me.

Gray wall.

And the candlesticks hanging on the wall.

It didn’t seem like a dream. When I slapped her cheek, the pain was really real. When I pinched her thigh, the pain was definitely there.

It was such a dreamlike situation that I was convinced it was reality.

‘… I should have been a little more polite when I was doing this.’

I didn’t even do anything violent with the gallery yesterday.

No, if I had lived my life diligently before becoming a nerd, I wouldn’t have ended up in this shitty world.

I advanced very carefully.

Toouk.

Something caught my foot.

My gaze turned to the foot. What was hanging at my feet was a skull.

Degurrurur… .

It was clearly the skull of a very human being.

My head was filled with confusion.

What kind of world have I gotten myself into?

The presence of a skull bowl means that there is an element in the space where people can die.

Faded brick. The smell of dirt and mold.

Well, it’s not like it’s a dungeon or anything, right?

I walked slowly. All I could do now was follow the flames of the candles.

My footsteps stopped.

【 1 】

The black numbers caught my eye.

1.

… Is this the first floor?

Is this a building made of steps?

For now, I had no choice but to keep walking.

Kkwaduk!

I heard the sound of something being chewed.

The problem is that the source of the sound is right in front of our noses.

I crouched down, using the slightly protruding gray wall as cover.

‘Fuck.’

Crunch!

Something was consuming something.

Giant ant.

A giant ant that looked to be at least 100cm tall was chewing on something.

‘… is a person.’

It looked like a person. And a dead person at that.

My body was being eaten by ants without me even moving.

The large jaws of the moving ant. And every time, dark red blood flowed down.

Kwajik!

I held my breath.

I couldn’t tell if it was because I was behind him or because I was so absorbed in my meal, but one thing was certain: he was still unaware of my presence.

‘I have a weapon.’

Right, right behind the ant.

Perhaps the spear used by the person who is currently being chewed up by ants.

The only thing that could kill that ant now was that window.

If that giant spider thing finishes eating and comes this way, I’ll be dead before I even have a chance to raise my spear.

The opportunity is now.

The best option was to move my body right now and grab that window.

I lowered my body as much as possible and moved forward slowly.

I moved forward while holding my breath completely.

Crunch! Crunch!

I stretched out both hands as I heard the terrible sound.

Aiming at a spear behind a giant ant that was still eating.

chin.

‘… got it.’

The sense of creativity was quite heavy, but not so heavy that I couldn’t lift it. It’s a good thing I lifted the empty bar quite often at the gym.

I was about to throw the window down when I felt eyes on me. The gaze of a very creepy predator.

The giant ant’s black eyes were staring at me.

He moved his body quickly. He stepped forward with his right foot and stretched both arms forward.

Phew!

The spear hit the ant’s head straight.

He swung his spear at the legs of the ant that was staggering backwards.

Kwajik!

My heart was beating fast.

The momentum was on my side. I kept swinging my arms with all my might.

Towards the giant ant’s head. Dozens of times.

Within seconds, a pool of turquoise blood formed on the floor.

Anyway, it seemed like I had succeeded in killing that guy for sure.

The giant ant with its head crushed didn’t move at all.

By then my whole body was drenched in sweat.

His black shirt was stained with the sticky blood of ants.

“Ugh… .”

Maybe it was because I was using all my strength, but my arms started to hurt as if they had been ripped off.

[Experience points have increased.]

[Current experience 30%]

[When experience reaches 100%, your level increases.]

[As your level increases, your experience points increase more slowly.]

Level?

By this point, I was starting to lose my mind. Where the hell am I?

My gaze was still focused on the distorted ant.

And then he turned to the dead man behind him.

“What?”

The clothes were so different from the modern clothes I had been wearing until just now.

It feels like clothing from the Western Middle Ages.

Something floated above the corpse’s head.

[NPC – Fleeing Citizen]

It’s not even a name, it’s a title called ‘Fleeing Citizen’.

“Is that an NPC… .”

Every situation I encountered was unrealistic.

I carefully searched through the dead citizen’s clothes.

There was a pocket underneath the clothes.

In the pocket there was an object with a very familiar feel.

I took it out.

“Cell phone?”

What the heck, a cell phone suddenly popped out here.

Up until now, only unrealistic situations have unfolded, but then suddenly modern civilization popped up.

The shape was exactly like a smartphone.

I pressed something like the power button.

Tiring-

The screen turned on.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed on the screen, and a holographic interface appeared before my eyes.

And the visible letters.

【 Transcendent Gallery 】

I raised my hand and put the drag down.

There were quite a few posts.

Just like the community gallery I was running before I came here.

First, I clicked on any text that caught my eye.

Title: Are there any notable rookies these days?

Author: ㅇㅇ

-I’ve been busy lately so I haven’t been able to go to Deunggal. It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve been to Chogal too haha

n I don’t see any particularly notable newbies.

N Seriously, these days, people have no will at all. They just try to find the easy way out.

N So where did you clear it? Normal? You wouldn’t say something like that on an easy difficulty terminator, right?

n Sword of Light) Do you know the sword?

N, Black Widow, aren’t you bored?

I think Chogal is an abbreviation for ‘Transcendent Gallery’.

What the heck is Denggal?

First, I pressed back. Then I clicked on the latest post that had just been uploaded.

Title: Why can’t I write on the real Denggal? Damn system.

Author: Archmage

-I’m going crazy because I’m so frustrated. Why are you so scared that you can’t win when you can win easily? It’s only the 35th floor! Just push in and kill him, even if your arms get burned or your legs get torn off! You’ll recover after clearing the stairs anyway, but you’re just lying around.

N You’re lecturing me too harshly, saying it’s not your job. Are you really a great wizard?

N Easy Mode Terminator J-Bab-Ssuk Arrested. You all need to know that he’s not a J-Bab like you. This guy is a hard terminator. Can’t you tell by looking at his nickname?

Gonic.

A fixed nickname refers to a person who continues to use a unique nickname within the gallery.

N 60% of the players are from easy mode, so aren’t you from normal mode too? You’re the same fucking person. Why did you rely on that archmage?

N Easy<<<<<<
