[You’re the only one who didn’t criticize my work. I will give you a gift as a token of gratitude.]

“What are you saying?”

Shin Jeul was taken aback by the content that came to his message box out of nowhere.

Age 22. As he was about to start the new semester as a returning student, he received a strange note.

“This writer is a writer who messed up the ending and got double-shamed, right?”

The author’s name, ‘Giant of Light m87’, appeared in front of him.

I clicked on a work that had just been completed yesterday.

[Become an academy!]

Number of players: 180

Number of serialization: 50 episodes

Series last views 50

In terms of performance, this is a work that is truly a failure.

‘A common story in which monsters suddenly descend on the academy and awakened people fight against them.’

An introduction that is like the standard of popular academy music these days.

But the problem was that it was unpopular.

Because the characters died so easily and the main character was the Academy itself, it was difficult to move properly.

The story progressed like that, but one day it was suddenly brought to an end by a super-large monster over 80 meters tall.

[April 9th. At 4 o’clock, when the sun was still beginning to set, the Academy was destroyed by the power of a gigantic monster that no one could have imagined.]

Until now, the Academy’s water monsters had been about the size of a human or slightly larger, but a giant monster appeared out of nowhere and finished them off with one blow.

The readers who followed along poured out insults.

Episode 50: The Final Battle (+49)

50 views and 49 replies. Shin Jeul went in and checked his ID.

All of the different IDs are full of double insults.

-This is the first time in my life I’ve seen such a garbage ending.

-You better do it all year round, you writer! Did you leave to load and unload?

-I am a legend because I read this trash novel until the end.

Each of the 49 IDs is unique.

As the 50th subscriber, Shin Je-ul did not particularly swear.

‘I guess they just gave up because there was a lot of swearing and the author wasn’t popular.’

That was simply the perception. The problem came when Shin Je-ul called a friend from the engineering department and talked about taking a leave of absence.

Suddenly, a note came from the author.

‘How do you know it’s me?’

Jeul Shin is one of the readers who recommends but rarely leaves reviews.

How did he know it was him?

“I’ve heard that if you swear, you’ll be dragged away… Is the writer joking?”

At a time when I was full of doubts. Another message arrived.

[We invite you to the world of ‘Become an Academy!’]

“What are you saying?”

It was even more incomprehensible, but the moment Shin Je-ul blinked, his vision changed.

[Sinjeul data transmission]

-Successful establishment of existence in ‘Become an Academy!’

-send

Unknown phrases appeared in front of him, and soon his mind went blank for a moment, as if he had lost consciousness.

The moment Shin Je-ul saw an intense light in his eyes and looked up, everything changed.

Before I could describe it as an unfamiliar ceiling, I saw a sight that felt foreign.

First of all, wallpaper. Since his house had been rented out for 10 years, there was an uproar over whether to wallpaper it or not.

Of course, the wallpaper was old and showing yellow marks in various places.

But now, there is pure white wallpaper around him, as if he is in a new house?

“What am I looking at now?”

Of course, an ordinary person would be extremely embarrassed in such an environment.

Fortunately, Shin Jeul is a saint and has a lot of knowledge about various things.

‘Did my vision change and end up like this while I was talking about a web novel at home?’

This is not the house where he lived now. I stood up, convinced of only that one fact.

When I saw the bed, I couldn’t help but feel even more confident.

‘There was no bed in my room to begin with.’

The rented house he lived in as a college student had no bed, only a mattress.

But getting out of bed?

First of all, it is not your own home. If I figured that out and combined it with the phrase that popped up earlier, the answer was simple.

“Have I come to the world of a novel?”

He was silent for a moment and then headbutted the wall.

A heavy sound was heard and Shin Jeul covered his head in intense pain.

“Ugh. It’s true.”

Some people may think it’s a live show, but you really have to do this to be believable.

The current situation was so bizarre.

Feeling that it is a world in a novel, you understand the surroundings first.

If you were in a novel, who would you be and how would you live?

“…”

The room has a typical layout with a desk, closet, and computer.

‘Is it bigger than my room?’

While looking around like this, he suddenly turned his gaze towards the computer.

Because this computer is turned on.

The time is 7:20 am. The time Shin Je-ul was on the computer was 5:30 p.m.

I definitely felt a sense of disconnect. Suddenly it’s morning?

And above all, there was a strange phrase written in red on the computer.

[Awakened Academy 2nd year student Shin Jeul]

-Height: 178cm

-Age: 17 years old

-Weight: 79kg

-Affiliation: Academy Support Department

“…Why did my height decrease?”

He couldn’t say anything about the shocking fact.

Above all, he is a third-year college student who even served in the military. But a 17-year-old sophomore in high school? For a moment, a scary thought occurred to me.

‘I went to the military, so you’re not telling me to go to the military again, right?’

He recalled the original novel. It is a society where awakened people run wild, but it is also a world where there are soldiers and militias.

He was more afraid of the military than anything else.

The computer screen changed and a photo of Shin Jeul himself appeared there.

[Knowledge Injection]

-Instill knowledge as a character in the current novel

As the computer displayed the message “Data Loading,” a distinctive blue dotted line began to appear.

The moment Shin Jeul saw it, he understood. What is this world like and what kind of student are you?

It means being instilled with the knowledge necessary to live in this world.

How you live now, whether your parents exist, your friends, etc.

Everything. After loading is finished, the screen changes again.

[Injection complete]

-Monday, April 9, 2029.

-Main scenario running

-‘Stop the Giant Monster’ has become the main scenario.

“…”

He understood the situation with the instilled knowledge and was more worried about school than anything else.

“5 minutes slower than usual.”

For 5 minutes, my usual pattern was broken as I tried to understand this situation.

‘Let’s stay calm. From the knowledge that has been given to me now… .’

As an academy student, I’m one of the few students who doesn’t live in a dormitory, I’m in the support department, and I don’t really have any close relationships.

That’s who I am right now. So, I am a quiet student in class without much presence.

“This is absurd.”

First, when you go into the bathroom to take a shower, you see your own face.

Fortunately, the face reflected under the light is Shin Jeul himself.

However, it is a younger face.

“I was praised for having a good-looking nose.”

It’s okay to be proud of your appearance. Shin Jeul looked back and forth in the mirror and suddenly turned his head in surprise at the noise coming from the living room.

He was saying that the injected knowledge was an alarm he had set.

Around this time, the routine is to eat breakfast and go to school.

But as I said before, it was a little late.

Shin Jeul washed up in a hurry and immediately opened the refrigerator.

A meal prepared in advance by your parents? There was no such thing.

‘I can’t believe there are no parents here either.’

Shin Je-ul lived alone both outside and inside the novel. In the rented house left behind by my parents.

The room itself is a two-room unit, so there is enough space to live alone.

However, the surrounding furniture is bare. Aside from the kitchen where he was sleeping, it was practically an empty room.

The living room was empty without a TV, so only sunlight came from the veranda.

He was living here. Fortunately, it is possible to replace TV with a computer.

‘I guess that’s how it was set up.’

A choice made to reduce any sense of discomfort with the instilled knowledge.

But more than anything, he had no idea who had sent him here.

At best, you can clarify yourself here with the instilled knowledge?

Shin Jeul headed to the hanger where the academy uniforms were neatly ironed.

The academy’s school uniform is different from regular student uniforms, such as a checkered skirt like a regular high school uniform.

Shin Je-ul took out a uniform with well-shaped angles.

A black dress shirt with the Academy school’s mark, a golden star, engraved on the chest and shoulders.

It’s a stiff-looking outfit that looks like something you’d wear at a military academy, but surprisingly, many people like it because it’s stylish.

Just put on a coat that covers half of your upper body and you’re ready.

Shin Jeul knew that the bus to the academy was coming soon and ran right away.

This is because the academy bus always stops on the road close to my house.

He ran quickly wearing sneakers that matched his school uniform.

My body felt as light as if I was flying, and if I ran like this, I would be able to go to school without any problems.

However, he opened his mouth when he saw the passageways connected between each building.

‘Is that a hyperloop?’

Transport device for quick movement. If a monster appears or an emergency occurs, it is possible to escape the scene using the hyperloop.

Emerald-colored cylinders are spaced between buildings, and a bus can now be seen below them.

“Not yet. Not yet.”

I wave my hand and hurriedly get on board, afraid that he might leave.

There were about 7 to 8 students sitting in about 20 seats.

‘You said most of you live in dormitories, so you said commuting to work is extremely rare, right?’

As the bus departed, Shin Jeul remembered what he had to do now.

Anyway, I fell in love with the world of the novel. There he became a nameless Assa.

What should you do and how should you do it now?

First, he wanted to check if he had any special powers.

There must be a reason why they were sent here. In the first place, the phrase itself was an invitation.

‘So are you asking me to invite you and stop you?’

While I was worrying about this and that, the bus finally entered a space surrounded by a special loop.

Awakened Academy. An academy city that trains countless awakened people from around the world.

The term “Academy City” is not an exaggeration.

Because it is a training institution that built and created a huge artificial structure in the middle of the ocean.

“came.”

Shin Je-ul noticed a tall building like a clock tower in the center of the island.

This is where the Academy City Functional Management Bureau is located, and various facilities are located around this area.

In his eyes, he sees a place that is contrary to its name as a city with its auxiliary facilities. You can also see that there is a forest outside the building and that an artificial mountain is rising.

‘The area is four times the size of Yeouido and the total number of students is 2,000, right?’

Although there are academies all over the world, talented people gathered in Korea, which was the first to operate the Awakening Academy.

As we reached the loop, the blue sea and sunlight combined to create a beautiful view.

Shin Je-ul also got off the bus, had his identity verified at the checkpoint, and moved inside.

In the vicinity, people were seen going to school from the dormitory several times.

Then, they passed the checkpoint and gathered one by one in front of the space transmission device.

Shin Je-ul was also impressed by the space transmission technology using special conductors and ether that only existed at the Academy.

Students are moved to the desired location using spatial transmission, as seen in movies.

Shin Jeul also had to go to the second grade classroom, so he moved to a circle of 10 people.

As a bonus, the name ‘2nd Year Support Department’ is written in a hologram next to it.

Soon after, Shin Je-ul’s whole body felt a strange feeling as if it had become weightless, and in an instant, the second-year support department building came into view.

“Phew. First of all, I came… .”

What are you asking me to come and do?

Fortunately for him who was so confused, a status window appeared.

[Main Scenario]

-Giant monster invasion

-Prevent the invasion of giant monsters.

-Go to the basement warehouse.

‘okay. If I tell you this, I will feel at ease.’

There must be something in the warehouse to catch the giant monster.

It was when Shin Jeul was about to go to the warehouse. He felt something off.

‘When did a monster appear in a novel?’

He searched his memory and remembered that it was April 9th.

And the day he went to school today is April 9th.

“….”

Shin Jeul’s expression became contemplative.

“Today? Are you kidding me?”

It was truly unfortunate that the very day he went to school was the day the academy was destroyed by a giant monster.
