episode_0195

There are a few more materials besides this, but that’s all for the brainwashing.

The main story is scheduled to be serialized regularly on Fridays.

Happy New Year, readers!

NOTE) This episode has nothing to do with the main story!

prolog

After a three-month overseas business trip, I arrived home two days earlier than scheduled.

Originally, I planned to come straight home and unpack, but as soon as I arrived at the airport, my boss kept urging me, so I went straight to the office to take care of the remaining work and have only just returned home.

Crunch- Creak-

From the front door to the floor, there was a pile of trash, not just one or two, but various types of trash were put into convenience store bags without any sorting.

It felt like I had stuffed everything I bought that day into a single bag and disposed of it.

My eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

I suppressed the anger boiling up from deep within my danjeon and took in the dirty corners of the house with my eyes closed.

“What is this if not a pigsty….”

The entrance was a mess, full of trash.

There was a foul odor coming from the kitchen, as if food was slightly spoiled, and looking at the table piled high with delivery containers, I started to feel a little feverish.

Pitter-patter!

His teeth ground together and the debt collection notice he was holding in his hand was roughly crumpled.

I carefully opened my brother’s door and went in, and I saw the back of his head panting as he looked at the monitor.

“Whew…Whew..!”

He’s not even excited, he’s just breathing quietly, but he looks like he’s having trouble breathing. When did this kid gain so much weight?

“Hohohoho Finally, Eli-chan’s real face!!!”

Bam!

“Ah…..Aaak!! Hyung!!”

“You noisy little shit. You promised to study hard, so I bought you a cell phone, but you’re just playing games. How much is your cell phone bill?”

“…that..”

My younger brother, who was suddenly hit on the back of the head and was startled, was speechless when he saw my murderous expression.

“I gave you an allowance so that you wouldn’t be discouraged from preparing for the civil service exam instead of going to college, I bought you a new cell phone, I sent you to an academy, I even gave you living expenses, so why didn’t I do the housework?”

My parents passed away and I only had one younger sibling as my family, so I think I raised him very pampered.

A beautiful girl with red hair and a ponytail was standing on the computer screen, wearing a school uniform.

“Limited pickup and shit, give me your phone before I get hit by a pickup truck.”

“Tongue..tongue!!!”

Before going to the office, I saw a debt collection notice in my mailbox addressed to my name, and when I checked it, it said that my little brother’s cell phone bill had been unpaid for over 5 months and had been transferred to debt collection.

When I was young, I opened my younger brother’s cell phone account in my name and kept using it, so it was under my name.

I see that you’ve maxed out your small payment limit and even used a gift card.

I never imagined that the amount of money given each month for living expenses and other things would go unpaid.

“Brother. Would you like to read the amount written here?”

“1…12 million won…”

“You son of a bitch!”

Pfft!

“Woweeek!!”

“You haven’t been hit in 10 years, so you’ve finally gone crazy!”

“Okay….Wait a minute!! Huh!!”

Stop!

When I saw my younger brother rolling on the floor, crying miserably after being hit in the head, my heart weakened for a moment, so I stopped kicking and looked.

Soon, my younger brother took a deep breath and said to me.

“But…still, it’s only been 3..3 years since I became a director, so I have to pick Ellie-chan….”

Paaak!

“Kueeek!!”

“Fuck! It’s 12 million won and you’re a piece of shit. It’d be more profitable to just kill you and do the funeral!!!”

Since I’m working a very difficult job, I already signed up for a mutual aid fund under joint names with my family in case my brother would be shocked if I died, so even if my brother dies instead of me, I don’t have to worry about funeral expenses.

“Tongue..hyung..murder is punishable by 7 years….Kuaaak!”

“You bastard, you think it’s more profitable to survive and go to jail!!!!”

Paaah!!!

“Eeee!!!”

I hit my little brother in the head with the criminal law book that was lying on the desk and soaked with ramen soup.

“Whoa… What the heck. 12 million won isn’t even in someone’s name..”

I hung my little brother upside down from the ceiling, took his cell phone, and lit it in my room while smoking a cigarette.

“’Academy life?’ Is this it?”

I have also heard of ‘Aka Life’, which has become popular worldwide and broken all mobile game records for 3 years.

I installed it because the faces and bodies of the female characters were pretty to look at because a manager I used to work with recommended it to me, but I remember deleting it after only doing the tutorial because I heard that it costs a lot of money to create and raise a character.

“This kid suddenly went crazy…”

When I went to the main screen, I was confused when I saw the inventory filled with various goods and paid goods at the max account level.

“Purchase history.. Purchase history…”

These days, even if you say, “The cat pressed it ㅠㅠ My cat pressed it by mistake ㅠㅠ,” they won’t give you a refund, but just in case, I check my purchase history…

“You did it right when I was out of the house..”

I think I’ve been playing the game since it was released, and I’ve been playing it without spending any money, but this time, the popular character ‘Ellie’ came in as a pickup for the first time in 3 years, so I think I bought all the growth items and packages in advance.

Looking at the purchase date, the refund has already gone out of business.

“It costs 10 million won to make one character….whoa….”

I went into the community connected to my brother’s phone and looked at the game information.

Even though it was a popular game, it wasn’t without its problems.

They say that this game doesn’t have a so-called ceiling system.

I searched the tree wiki for information on drawing.

“You can enjoy everything with a business card, but there aren’t any idiots who just play around like fools…?”

There’s a crippled kid here in our house.

Even if it’s a pickup, the probability of increasing it is minimal.

The expected value for breaking through the limit of a pickup character is 6 million won.

The expected value of a full re-forge of character-exclusive equipment is 3 million won.

It appears that including the voice talent package, it will cost approximately 10 million won.

“Ah…. crazy.”

No, I said it’s worth doing even if you don’t necessarily have to break through! There’s no competitive content, so there’s no sense of deprivation, so why…!!

The more I looked into it, the more I couldn’t understand what my brother did, and I tried not to look at it out of consideration for his human rights, but my occupational disease kicked in and I had no choice but to naturally look through his internet search history and email history.

“Ugh…!”

Fan art was searched under Ellie’s name on various adult sites, and hundreds or even thousands of adult fan art pieces of Ellie being humiliated were stored in the gallery.

There was even a situation where he received the painting while giving a commission.

“I’m not studying as I’m told!!”

I tried looking through my emails and other community records just in case, but I was falling deeper and deeper into the abyss.

“No, what is this email terrorism to the developer?”

My heart sank when I saw my younger brother struggling, sending me long emails every day for the past two years asking me to help Ellie.

“Ah… Should I leave it hanging until tomorrow evening? I wonder if the game company will sue me… That’s not my area of expertise.”

I was so angry that I hung it upside down in my room, but I think I’ll take it down tomorrow evening.

I tried to let you go in the morning, but it didn’t work. You little shit.

“No, is this really that fun?”

Woohoo!

[Ellie, the Red Flame Magician! Limited Pickup Begins!!]

The phone notification that rings as soon as midnight hits.

After exploring my brother’s abyss, I logged back into the game to see what was so fun about it that drove my once kind and innocent brother crazy.

I repeatedly clicked on the X mark on the banners that appeared and turned them off.

[Limited Pickup! Increased Probability!!!]

12 million won is a large sum that can be recovered in one or two times, so it won’t have a big financial impact, but I wanted to know why I was stuck in this piece of data, so I went into the lottery menu.

“What the hell, even if I burn 10 million won, I won’t get anything?”

In the account of the younger sibling who had embezzled 12 million won, there were 2 million won worth of various goods for nurturing Ellie, and the rest were all paid goods for drawing, worth 10 million won.

10 consecutive draws for 30,000 won each.

I spent 10 million won on the draw, and even collected mileage to get 3,370 out of 3,380 draws… but I didn’t get a single 5-star hero, not even Ellie.

“Crazy… What the hell were you fighting about, little brother…”

After starting work in earnest, I stopped playing mobile games and started playing gacha games for the first time in a long time, but this is the first time I’ve played such a crazy game.

“You’re saying you can break through the ceiling without any problems? Oh my… This is a fucking game. Why did I play this for 2 hours…? Oh my, I should just go to sleep. ”

Tick!

I put my phone away, thinking I’d bring my little brother, who was hanging upside down in the room, down around lunchtime.

My tired body, which had not yet adjusted to the time difference, immediately fell into dreamland.

****

After the man went to bed, his younger brother’s cell phone fell off the bed while he was tossing and turning in his sleep and slipping under the blanket.

Bam!

[10 consecutive draws] (pickup recruitment)

After a bright light burst out from the phone, the man and the phone disappeared, and only silence filled the room.
