Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 54

◈Episode 54 However, (2)

it has been a while since I deleted the question of actually being simply trapped in a capsule. This is why, no matter what excuse we have come up with so far, we cannot deny that it was a time when the real body was starving.

It’s strange that they didn’t ask you to log out if an outsider intervened.

“Hey, Mr. System?”

It’s been a while since I’ve had the suspicion that there might be a backstory in the system.

no. This is closer to an older question that has been with us almost from the beginning.

“hey?”

The reason is… it’s nothing special, it’s just a cliché.

There are many novels that provide a system, but there are also novels that do not, so it can be said that it is something I have thought about often.

“hmm. log out.”

“This is an impossible command.”

“Force termination of the emergency protocol capsule.”

“This is an impossible command.”

However, the moment when my suspicions became serious was when I noticed that the message that appeared when logging out and executing the emergency protocol was subtle.

Usually, even if a bug pops up, they don’t say it can’t be done in that way. They say it failed.

There….

“Option settings. graphic. Resolution changed from 24K to 18K.”

“This is an impossible command.”

“Frame. Changed from 240 to 120.”

“This is an impossible command.”

“Adjust the brightness of the field of view. “The worst.”

“Impossible command.”

“Restart from last save point.”

“This is an impossible command.”

If a message like that appears in most settings, most people are bound to feel uncomfortable!

“under.”

That’s not all there is to be suspicious about.

What about skills that go back and forth between judgments? Especially tracking skills.

How many times have I had to launch it only after getting close to it? Isn’t this a serious error for a system that is supposed to be consistent? Of course, this game is full of bugs other than that, but whatever!

Additionally, the standards for displaying item descriptions are indiscriminate, as is the HP drop.

Based on simple calculations, there were many points where my HP would have been depleted, but somehow I was able to maintain my HP just because I didn’t check…

The incident I experienced was too much to pass off as simple luck. When you experience an incident like this, you can’t help but feel a sense of discomfort.

“Hey, let’s just talk.”

What was more decisive than anything else was the skill provided this time.

It was so blatant that it made me laugh, but it was also funny to ignore it anymore.

“Let’s talk…”

I sighed and relaxed the strength I had put on my waist in response to no response. My back touched the rock and my head leaned against it.

My hair, which was sticky and full of salt, fell loose as it touched the rock.

In addition, there was a clear feeling of pulling or something sticking out of the skin. It was probably salt and sand.

“….”

However, the clothes were actually soft thanks to the restoration ability. I felt awkward as if I had only changed my clothes without washing.

Sometimes this makes me feel real, but then it ends.

It’s not that important, though. A faint sense of resignation pressed upon me as if strangling my throat.

“What on earth are we going to do?”

As for the system not answering, well. I’m not sure if I’m angry or if the anger comes before the anger. I wonder if there is a need to make a distinction.

“By showing off like this….”

But that’s right. All that remained was what I wanted to ask, floating around in my head.

Is this a game or a different world?

Why was I called here?

Who on earth brought me here?

What on earth do you want me to do here?

Things like whether there is a way for me to return to Earth.

‘I’m angry.’

If the system had been consistent, it wouldn’t have made me suspect that there might be a back-up.

If that were the case, I would have just lived like that. Because there is no more meaningless action than finding a reason for something that happened for no reason.

Moreover, wasn’t I in a situation before where I was worried that I might starve to death due to the body inside the capsule?

Therefore, it is highly likely that he viewed this life as an additional opportunity. There is no way for complaints to come in.

‘I resent everything.’

However, if there is a cause for this, it is different.

If it was someone’s intention for me to come into this character and do this. And if there is a means by which to communicate with it…

then I just cannot understand it. I can’t conform.

I wanted to get it back.

‘The whole world…’

I don’t have to act, it’s full of people who know me, and the life is so familiar to me.

‘Everything?’

I blinked. The feeling that didn’t belong to me disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint sadness. My heart is pounding. It seemed as if I could hear the beating of the beads that had been placed in my inventory.

“What if?”

Hey. Actually, I don’t think it really matters whether this is a game or reality. It doesn’t matter either way, as long as you can survive without dying.

In this world, if I accept it, illusions become reality, and if I reject it, the truth also becomes lies.

“If I catch Satan and clear the main story.”

But I think the game would be better if possible. Being able to retry has many advantages, including putting my mind at ease.

Above all….

“Can I go home then?”

The game turns off when you clear it. yes?

So, I mean…

“Please, please.”

Please tell me it’s okay to leave open the possibility that I can go home when I see the ending.

But I won’t be disappointed, I won’t be discouraged.

The system didn’t launch the quest for no reason.

“I won’t blame you even if it was you who called me.”

Can you please say yes?

Just this one thing is good.

“….”

I gritted my teeth as the system did not respond. The right hand that was holding the sword came up and touched my eyes and forehead.

I couldn’t tell if the cold temperature of the metal made me feel sadder or soothed me.

The anger that was building up was replaced by all kinds of swear words, and then came down again, crushed by the last remaining reason.

The area around my eyes went from hot to cold to finally becoming lukewarm.

“…system.”

In my grief, I called again to the system that had no answer.

Resentment is okay. Not yet. I feel frustrated, at a loss, feel betrayed, and a little angry. Still, there was no resentment.

Not included yet.

Anyway, I’m not sure if the system really has a backstory, and there’s no guarantee that it would have brought me back.

Moreover, the system was my ally and helper. Judging from the fact that he gives away his skills in times of danger, it is clear that he at least has some favor towards me.

Do you have to be hostile towards such an object, unable to overcome even a moment’s emotion, to write it? That is a very foolish act.

It certainly was.

Therefore.

“I’m sure there’s a reason you’re not trying to have a damn direct conversation.”

I swallowed all the questions and sadness and relaxed my body. Took. What flowed from the corner of my eye passed through the skin between my eye and my ear, went around my ear slightly, and reached my neck.

“I will assume that there are restrictions such as not being able to talk to me.”

Then he moved his hand away and opened his eyelids, which had been closed for a moment. I could see the sky. A sky overflowing with the Milky Way. A world I don’t know.

“So please let me go back when I beat this game.”

I miss home.

The one word I couldn’t say got stuck in my throat and I cried. I wondered how five letters could make me so choked up.

* * *

I suppressed the overwhelming sadness and covered my eyes again. So that I don’t collapse in despair and feel light again.

If I become pessimistic about a situation that I cannot control or solve, I will be the only one ruined.

Also, the situation was not necessarily bad.

Anyway, I was swayed by the concept and was half-forced to follow the story. Other than this, there was nothing else I could do or worth doing.

So this suspicion is just one more possibility added to what I originally would have done. The possibility that something tied up in the system might send me back when I see the ending. hope.

“…I guess we should leave open the possibility that it might not be the case.”

But I don’t like being disappointed, so I anticipated a negative outcome. The fact that I might not know how the system works was actually closer to my wish.

“Are you going to continue to rest there?”

Did you really make up your mind like that?

Dev arrived at just the right time. The village had already become quiet.

“When material aid arrived, we received a house in return for some distribution. “Would you like to rest there?”

I corrected my expression. It may be hard to see because it’s night, but you never know.

“Not required.”

But why is my voice like this? I answered without thinking, but was even more surprised when my voice was as tight as a newly purchased soda bottle. It was fortunate that I didn’t feel like crying.

“They say it might rain at night…”

Oh, this is a bit much.

I was lucky that Dev didn’t notice anything, so I passed it on and ended up sleeping on the street and under the house in the rain.

I thought intensely. But no matter how much I thought about it, the former seemed to be correct.

That’s because there aren’t many houses in the village, and we only have about a dozen people. Even though the number of dead was twenty, there were still more than fifty people on our side.

But can those people properly divide up their rooms? The villagers must give up only a few houses, right?

That can’t be possible. I’m sure they’ll sleep snuggled up together. The concept will never tolerate that!

“go away.”

Had Dev not piled up the stack of misunderstandings earlier, he would have been staring right at the eaves. It’s sad.

“Then maybe a blanket…”

“Did you need another ear hole?”

Dev please go. The devil knight would rather sleep with the sound of waves, the sea breeze, and raindrops as his friends than a broken earthen pot. Huh.

“…Be sure to come for a meal. “Because the people who were sent out hunting are coming back one by one.”

I won’t go, even if it’s because of you. It’s fun.

“Are we still talking?”

“It’s over now.”

“Is it warm?”

“No way.”

I lay down on the rock and continued to look at the night sky. Although there were a lot of clouds, the moon in the sky was clearly visible.

“Did I hear that you don’t sleep in the village?”

I heard you talking too. So go, wind hand.

“More than that, this place is a complete mess. Ugh. “The stench is no joke.”

Was there a bad smell? While I was thinking about other things, I got so used to the smell around me that I forgot about it. The sea here has not yet escaped the aftermath of the black dragon.

“The wizards say it will take at least a month for things to return to normal… It must be very difficult.”

There was no subject in Baramson’s words, but I understood them without difficulty. one month. It will be a long time for the villagers.

“Rather than that, aren’t your colleagues going to see it?”

“Why should I do that?”

“Because you’re a colleague…?”

“Those?”

“Or else. Well, you said we were moving together temporarily, right?”

I remember that again.

“Then we can leave right away tomorrow? “If you’re not a colleague, there’s no need to wait until you get better.”

I can’t remember it so I use it right away.

“By any chance… you didn’t forget your promise, right?”

I realized why the wind hand was forced to stand in front of me.

I wondered if he had come to persuade me like Dev, but it turned out that he had come to say this. Because he said he was in a hurry.

“Do you want me to forget?”

“No way. “Then is it really okay to go?”

“Does not matter.”

I answered without hesitation. I don’t know if it was a condition of departure – a ship or food problem – but in concept, refusal was not an option from the beginning.

In addition, there are no other injuries other than fatigue, and even fatigue can be resolved by sleeping on the boat, so there is no problem in leaving immediately.

Of course, it will be difficult for others other than me. Especially the Inquisitor and Archmage who have not yet woken up after fainting.

“okay. “Keep your words.”

But that doesn’t mean I can take it out. The concept is a concept, but it’s a promise that involves a city. There are also quests.

Baramson even lost two colleagues because of this. If I broke my promise here, I was trash. The concept itself is already a bit trashy, but whatever.

So, the two of them decided to just do something. There was nothing I could do anyway.

As for paying compensation… if it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to give up and go. Actually, I don’t really need money.

Even the dragon’s corpse was greedy because I wanted to make equipment, rather than life—if I broke the concept, the mace would fly—so it wasn’t important.

As for the story… To be honest, I say I follow along, but I wonder if there is a main quest. Isn’t this just a structure where I just pass the time by completing random quests?

The direction of the story is completely different from the original, so I can’t predict anything anymore.

“We’re here.”

“Ah, the last hunting team is back.”

At that moment, all the crew members who had gone hunting returned. If you listen closely to the chatter, the total harvest is two deer, three rabbits, and one fox.

The wind hand returned that way.

“Is this it?”

“We tried too.”

“Whose nose are you putting this on?”

The amount of meat produced from one deer is quite large.

However, because we only have a limited number of personnel. With so many mouths to feed, there is bound to be not enough food.

“We are sea bastards.”

Well, most of them are sailors. It must have been completely unfamiliar to catch wild animals, let alone fish. It seems like the deer we just caught wasn’t from the crew, but from the adventurers who followed.

“First, apply it as thoroughly as possible.”

“Yea.”

At that point, I was fiddling with the food items in my inventory – biscuits and vegetable powder.

Even if I give this away, I think it will serve at most 10 people. Is it better than not giving it at all?

But how do you deliver it?

Rustle rustle.

Should I go and throw it away or should I call Dev and hand it to him? I should have thrown it before the wind went away.

As I was thinking about it, I felt a presence near me.

“It’s meat…”

If you turn your head slightly, you can see several children.

It seemed like they were watching the crew dismember a deer, and the members were all in their early to late teens.

“…hungry.”

“So you came out to dig up tree bark.”

“I don’t like this.”

I wondered why he was awake even though it was late at night and it was getting close to dawn, and I realized that the youngest child was hungry and came out to get something to eat.

“I also have meat…”

“No. “They caught it.”

I collapsed there helplessly.

I hate it when kids go hungry! Last time, there was still meat that we shared so I watched them eat it, but this time, they won’t give it to us because there isn’t enough food for us!

Jump up.

At that point, I walked away with my face crumpled. The direction is where the kids are hiding.

Dragon head? Well, it’s not like the dragon has feet on its head, so it won’t be a problem if you leave it alone for a bit. Even the most problematic wizards went to dreamland.

So it’s okay.

“Still, guys, let’s be patient. They said someone would come from the castle in the morning. “They also shared food with me.”

“Then can I eat every day starting tomorrow?”

“That’s…”

“I’m hungry…”

How sad is the conversation you hear in the meantime?

They said they made a deal with supplies for the price of a one-day stay, but it can’t be much. It must be a few days, let alone a month.

“Tongue hyung.”

At that time, a child succeeded in observing me. The child’s hand shook the hem of the clothes of the person who was taller than me.

“Wow, I got caught.”

“You’re probably not angry…”

The children trembled in frightened voices. However, surprisingly, there was no child running away.

It doesn’t seem like he’s full of courage, but rather because he’s too scared, so he looks closer to the stiff side.

“Hi!”

I saw the biggest one of them all. When our eyes met, the child trembled and asked, “Why me?” I asked softly.

I threw the bag I had just taken out of my inventory at him. I didn’t divide it into sections because I was afraid it would take up space, but now I see it was a very wise decision.

If you place each small portion on your palm, it will lose its shape.

“…? “What are you doing there, Sir?”

“Huh?”

When Dev saw what I was doing on the other side, he craned his head in, and the girl who was suddenly handed the bag was embarrassed and made strange noises.

Of course I didn’t explain.

“Why are you taking the kids with you again?”

Dev hurriedly came over here. The girl’s eyes widened as she looked inside the bag for a moment.

“This this this.”

“What did you give the child to make him play like this… eh?”

“I have something to eat…”

Jooa. First, I gave him something to eat.

Cross the village like this and go to the forest. If you search all night, you’ll catch something.

Anyway, Baramson won’t be leaving at night.

“Are you going to eat it?!”

“Did you give it to us?”

“really? Are you eating it?”

“I’m hungry.”

“Oh, no. Guys! If you eat carelessly… hey, stop pulling my clothes!”

“I’m not.”

While the girl was being harassed by the kids around her, Dev looked at me with a feeling of ‘I ate something wrong.’ Of course, I didn’t have to worry about the pot breaking.

How many times have I given out items I didn’t need to people in need? This one wasn’t much different. In other words, it’s not a cafe!

“…let’s go together. Really. Would you like it if we went together earlier?”

“go away.”

“Oh, don’t do that…”

I elegantly pulled out the two-hender, turned around and smashed it into the floor. The blade of the two-hender stuck right in front of Dev’s toe.

“I’m going out.”

For your information, this is because I’m trying to stop Dev from following me so he doesn’t come with two deer like last time.

I’m definitely not offended by the demonic possession issue that happened on the ship earlier. Oh, not anyway.

My legs started to head deeper into the forest.
