Omniscient Reader's Perspective

Episode 15–A Kingless World (3)

Episode No.15 - No King World (3)

The first legend is established.With this, the main goal of the fourth scene is achieved.

"What the fuck is going to happen now?"

"No, why are you destroying the throne?"

Some are bewildered by the situation, others fear what the angry ghost will do.

From the point of view of those present, I was the one who made the fifth scene difficult.Some people yell at ghosts.

"Re-make an absolute throne! I'm going to re-join this scene!"

"This time I will be the master of the throne!"

[The finished scene cannot be changed by anyone.Everything that happens to you from now on is that person's fault. 】

The intermediate ghost's answer was cold.

The ghost pointed at me, and the rain-drenched shoulders of the crowd shivered.

[A world without a king?All right.Let's try again.I'd like to see how well you can live without focus. 】

The intermediate ghost snapped its fingers.Immediately afterwards, the people of Gwanghwamun began to disappear like smoke.People screamed and fled in all directions.

"What? What happened suddenly?!"

...it was an unplanned development.

I turned around and saw Jung Hee Won, Yoo Sang Ah, Lee Ji Yong, and others yelling at me.

"Only son!"

The next moment, Yoo Sang Ah disappeared.Then there are Lee Ji Yong and Jung Hee Won.Next up are Jung Min-sub and Lee Sung-guk.One minute after the ghost snapped its fingers, I was the only one left in Gwanghwamun.

The intermediate ghost looked at me with a weird smile.

[Please remember well.If the world is destroyed, it will be because of you. 】

Just as I was about to speak, a series of bells rang in my ears.

My body shook, and I was teleported somewhere else.Severe nausea and headaches follow.I lost consciousness because too much energy had been expended.

【Due to the settlement of the fourth scene, 10,000 coins were obtained. 】

***

I slept for a long time, exhausted from over-connecting with the constellations.

I even dreamed about it.

This is a dream from before the end of the world.

– Hey, are you still awake?

The moment I heard this voice, I realized that the dream was my high school days.Back then I was always getting beaten up by bad guys in school.

……Yes.There have been times like this.The dream was childish, but when I thought about it all again, I couldn't hold back my anger.

-What?why are you looking at me like thatDo you want to kill someone?

He slapped me backwards.

Blood dripped from my cracked lip, and my cheeks stinged with shame.

Arms, legs and shoulders.Pain comes from all of these places.This may be a dream, but it is more painful than reality.Maybe it's because there's no fourth wall here.

-Why?Hit me if you don't want to bear it anymore.Do you want to be in the same newspaper as your mother?

My clenched fist trembled, but I couldn't hit him.

At that time, what was I thinking?

"...If only I were Liu Zhonghyuk."

Yes, that's right.That's what I thought when I was trapped in pain.At that time, I was reading "Inactivation Law".

I read the name tag on my uniform.

Song Minyu.

What is he doing now?I remember him going to college and doing a great job.That was the first time I felt that the world was unfair.I don't know if he is still alive now.

[Exclusive skill "Fourth Wall" has been activated! 】

The dream collapsed and I was left in darkness once again.

[The third stage of the exclusive skill 'Omniscient Reader's Perspective' has been activated! 】

Sounds start to overlap.

"Hey, can you hear me? Are you okay?"

"Representing the adults?"

"Only son, where are you?"

Those are familiar voices to people I know.

These words are delivered through the 'Third Person Perspective' of the third stage of the 'Omniscient Reader's Perspective'.I don't need to look to know who the masters of these voices are.

"Ah...why are you here? Only son? Can you hear me?"

There is a bar with all kinds of foreign wines.Zheng Xiyuan frowned and sighed.

"A love letter...I'm going to meet that uncle again...Damn it, why did I fall into school?"

Li Zhizhi touched her cheek, as if she had been beaten by someone.

"What's going on...why...here...?"

Lee Hyun-sung was stranded at a nearby military base.

...I can roughly guess what happened based on everyone's reactions.

The people of Gwanghwamun seem to have been teleported to a place connected to them.This explains why Lee Ji Hye was in a school and Lee Hyun Sung was sent to a military base.Lee Hyun Sung is the one I sympathize with the most.

Maybe it was the goddamn mid-level goblins.

It created the situation, with the avatars scattered all over the place.No matter how irrelevant this is to the main scene, mid-level goblins are sure to get a rebuke.

I looked at everyone who was confused and murmured.

"I'm fine, take care of yourselves. I'll see you soon."

They can't hear me, but I want them to hear the words.

[The third phase of the exclusive skill 'Omniscient Reader's Perspective' has ended. 】

I slowly regained consciousness and opened my eyes.Thick dark clouds still hover over Seoul like a black hole.

I stood up and looked around.

A wide panorama of Seoul is in front of you.Here you can see skyscrapers and row upon row of buildings.This reminded me that I should have been teleported to a place related to me.

At first glance, it looks like the roof of a high-rise building in Seoul...

"this place……?"

Damn, I thought about that possibility, but I really don't want to be here.

[Some constellations look forward to your soliloquy. 】

"... Minosoft?"

This is the rooftop of the company I work for, Minosoft.

[Some constellations are disappointed. 】

[Constellations who don't like to catch up with the plot are very happy. 】

When I saw these indirect messages appearing in my mind, I found that after breaking the absolute throne, the constellation group focused on me has expanded.

[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Hoop' threatens the emerging constellation. 】

[Constellation 'Secret Strategist' coughs at the pretentious constellations. 】

Why am I here?

Shuttle vehicles are gone on the streets of Seoul.The lights in the office went out.

When I saw these familiar buildings, I felt a little nostalgic.This is my first time going to work in a month.

It felt weird, and I remembered that after being reprimanded by Team Leader Han, I would go up to the roof with Deputy Team Yin.I've been testing new games before, and now I'm slashing people with a sword.

Is Vice Group Yin still alive?

I turned my head and saw a message flashing in mid-air.

[There are still 10 days before the start of the fifth scene. 】

The scene was flowing just as I expected it to.If the Absolute Throne is destroyed, the Seoul Dome will get a 10-day respite.

The fifth scene, the Great Vault.

During this grace period, I had to find a way to clear the fifth scene without absolute throne.

[To supplement the intermission, a sub-scene is in progress. 】

【Sub-Scene – Survival Activities】

Category: Sub

Difficulty: C+

Clearance conditions: Survive 10 days in the ruined city.You should ensure three meals a day and sleep at least 6 hours a day.Don't forget to pay 500 coins every night before going to bed.If you violate any of the above three items, you will be punished for customs clearance.

Time frame: 10 days

Compensation: None

failure: death

*This scene has "Coin Event" applied.

*All monsters in this scene have a specific chance to drop coins.

I sort of figured out how things were going.

The existing scene was completely destroyed, so they threw together a sub-scene hastily.Additionally, this subscene overlaps a coin payment event.I thought they would start soon, but didn't expect it already.

Survival fee of 500 coins a day...the scene cannot be passed without coin events.

Anyway, now I must act.I can't miss the opportunity to replenish coins.

At this time, voices came from downstairs.

"Drag this! Hurry up!"

I looked down and saw armed men entering the building with others behind them.

Minosoft is located near Seocho-gu, but in my impression, there is no 'king' in Seocho-gu. ...then who are they?

I watched those armed men carefully and realized something.

Yes, they are "vagrants".

In this perishing world, everyone has a different way of surviving.Someone will be the "King" and others will be the "People".But there are also people who will become "wanderers" without any affiliation.

And Seocho is the territory of the homeless.

I turned on my phone looking for information on the area.Unfortunately, my battery died.I have to find somewhere to charge the battery, or find a spare battery...

I opened the door at the top of the building and went downstairs.I passed by the president's office, the planning department and the finance department.When walking past the offices of the QA group I worked for for a while, I stopped.

It's fair to say that I have a pretty good memory.I walked into the office and opened the drawers one by one.Because I think there might be a spare battery left behind.

At that moment, someone came in with a flashlight.I pulled out the sword reflexively, but the sound was strange.

"what?"

...?

"Ah - the only son? It's the only son!"

That's when I saw the man's face.

"Deputy Yin?"

"Oh, you're alive! You're alive!"

It's Yoon's subgroup of the QA team. (Note: QA=Quality Assurance)

***

"It's really scary."

I heard about what happened at Minosoft from Deputy Group Yin.To be precise, it happened after I got off work.

"The first scene starts with everyone on the night shift."

Deputy group Yin pinched his nose while talking.

The corridors of the company were filled with the stench of rotting corpses and maggots.Some of the corpses had the faces of people I knew, yet there was no trace of mourning or sadness in Deputy Yin's expression.

"You know what? That guy over there, Director Kim, I killed him. Why, that bastard... I stabbed his neck with a ballpoint pen, and the blood just... It's really like a game."

"... Deputy Yin."

"Hold-sorry, is it uncomfortable to say this? Haha."

This kind of change is very natural, but I still feel bitter when I see Vice Group Yin's expression is different from before.No...maybe that's what Vice Group Yin looks like now.

"Are you here alone?"

"Huh? Ah, I'm not alone. By the way, where was the only son before?"

"Ah I……"

"I didn't see you at the company. What group do you belong to? Are you somewhere else?"

"Yes, um... more or less. I used to be at Gwanghwamun on the other side of the bridge..."

Vice-team Yin interrupted me before he finished listening.

"Aha, I see. Only son, your luck is really bad."

"……what?"

"There's no need to go through all the scenarios. Don't you know? If you hide well and use the right tricks, most of the scenarios will be broken by other people. No need to risk your life. Haha, although the world It has become like this, and life is still very comfortable.”

What he said was true.If you become a "wanderer" who is not attached to anyone, you can escape some scenes that must be cleared and let the main scene be cleared by others.There are many such people under the Dome in Seoul.

The problem with them is that if you stay alive in hiding and end up being caught by a nearby syndicate, you die.There is no better prey than a solo "wanderer".

"You don't have to worry. Wanderers have great power too. Is it necessary to be a king to build power?"

We left Minosoft.There was a crowd around the company, and there was a group of homeless people gathered there.I saw some of them transferring the bound people.At this time, an armed man asked, "Yin Shunhao, who is this?"

"Oh, he's a colleague of mine. We met by chance."

"Humph... a homeless person? Not acceptable from the Syndicate. Got it?"

Sub-group Yin nodded slightly, and the man walked past us.I looked at the man and asked, "Who is this man?"

"A manager of a 'coin farm'."

"Coin Farm?"

"Ah...the only son doesn't know."

For a moment, Vice Group Yin showed a gloomy expression on his face.

Coin farm...this reminds me of something.But have these guys already started doing it?

"look here."

The cages are placed at regular intervals, and two people are trapped in the cages, as if in a zoo or a police station.The homeless around the cage shouted excitedly.

"Hey! Are you kidding? Hit hard! Who will give you coins when you beat like this?"

In the cage, two people are fighting.Blood was splattered, the eyeballs were gouged out, and a man dragging his internal organs screamed like an animal.

[Constellations who like the Colosseum feel happy. 】

I looked carefully, and there were several iron cages like this.Not all cages are wrestling.

There is a naked woman and several men in one cage, and a lonely woman lying in another cage, it seems that the men have ended her life.I could hear moans and cries of pain coming from all directions.

Outside the cage, homeless people laugh while holding their little brothers.

"Hey, does it feel good? It's great? Get out of here!"

"It's my turn next, you idiot!"

[Constellations that like excitement feel happy. 】

Deputy Yin said.

"In the game industry, the customer is the king. In Minosoft, the president is the king. Only son, who is the king in this new world?"

"...Are you relying on the sponsorship of the constellation?"

"Yes. Sometimes there are crazy constellations like this. The more exciting the sight, the more coins the constellation will give. It's like a gift. We get coins from these people, and in exchange we give them what they need to survive food."

Adjutant Yin threw a piece of chocolate into an iron cage.The caged woman screamed and grabbed it.

Some people in the world first discovered the existence of the system and found a way to take advantage of it. A "coin farm" is a system designed to take advantage of the system by those who first understood the world.

"I saw people from our company..."

"They are people from our company."

After hearing his cold tone, I finally confirmed it.The "Yin Deputy Group" I met in Minosoft, he no longer exists in this world.

"Hey! New slaves! Lock them up!"

"Yes!"

The slaves were transferred to prisons.Among them, I was rather shocked to see a familiar face.

Deputy Yin laughed.

"Oh, there's a new one? Hey! Strip her off and take her to the cage!"

A petite, fair-skinned man.Thick black hair fell to his shoulders, slightly raised eyebrows.

I rubbed my eyes, but there was no doubt about it.

The first apostle, plagiarist Han Xiuying is here.
