Chapter. 13. Hunter, Scavenger, and Swordsman (1)
****
A dark, narrow secret room. Amidst a gloomy tension that takes even your breath away.
Huh-huh-huh-
“….Budlam. Calm your excitement. noisy.”
The group, all covered in blood and dust, was staring at one point, holding their breath.
Jijijik – Jijijik –
This is what makes them so breathless as they are highly trained and have gone through countless battles.
That is….
=========
“….Live well. Astrad.”
Para la la la rock!

[Rec. Professor Park’s Game Saeng (Real Death)] Preparing to broadcast –
=========
“Kya!”
“Wow….”
“This is how it ends.”
“Fuuuuu-! Oh, I’m suffocating! Captain Wang, I’m feeling emotional. Isn’t that right?”
It wasn’t an assassination target or enemy line, but a screen of a half-broken drone.
A four-person shelter located in a remote area outside of Area 47. After the destruction, an individual survivor had been living with the housing AI, and 12 strong men were gathered together in this place.
“Uuuuu-! I thought my nose was rotting. “What kind of person smells like something rotting alive, not even a mackerel?”
“Hehehe. I guess someone knows how to wash well. “Didn’t you all get kicked out of the barracks by Bex because you were all dirty in the first place?”
“Are you the same as you, Budlam, who has some dust on him and needs chemical decontamination 24 hours a day? Oh really. “Why aren’t you washing up?”
“Try living as a scavenger in District 40. Water doesn’t come out as well there as in area 47. And what’s wrong with the smell of sweat? Evidence of an active metabolism. Isn’t it truly the scent of life? Now, enjoy my day to the fullest. “Are you going to come to your senses?”
Widely!
“Awww!”
“Uuuuuuup!”
“Throw that bastard down the well!”
“You do it! “I don’t want to be touched!”
“Hey dog#@(*&*)#!!!!”
His colleagues, who had been admiring the sight of Budlam’s strong arms that were lifted up wide like a black crane spreading its wings, were startled and took a step back. Everyone’s sense of cleanliness had been worn down as they had lived in the wasteland for a long time, but the stench of the ‘black biochemical bomb’ budlam was felt not through the nose but through the eyes and skin.
And there was another person who was as upset about this situation as his terrified colleague.
[The air pollution level suddenly exceeds 30%! What are you dragging in here, you bastards!] A
housing AI with a shiny, state-of-the-art alloy body – an activity drone.
Corduro screamed as he saw the drone held by the black man at the side, the epicenter of the commotion.
[Ugh! My old body!]
“Hey Corduroy! It came right at the right time. This screen is a bit blurry-”
[I told you not to call me that! You squatters! You look like a barbarian! He must have hit it with his pot-lid-like hand just because there was a broadcast lag! Is there any home appliance that can be repaired by hitting it at the end of the 21st century? And what did they bring this time, so the air looks like this! I said it before! Eat a radioactive scorpion raw for a day! Even if you cook it, it quickly spoils in 3 days!]
Flap, flutter, flutter!
[How many times have I told you that if you’re going to try that damn 30th District traditional fermented dish again, this time I’ll just use it as firewood! Does running the purifier seem like a joke? Ah? Dorian It’s you again! Damn BDSM vulgarity!!!] The
angry AI’s harsh swear words echoed through the sealed shelter, and the tough men on the battlefield who became the target of the swear words… were
grinning with happy faces and enjoying the swear words. .
“Ahhh. Be friendly. The more I listen to that nagging, the better it gets. Hey, can you hit me on the back with a corduroy? “It seems like my dead mother has come back to life.”
“You too, brother? “Me too.”
“As I keep listening, I think I understand why Captain Wang lived with such a humane trash drone. The audio is very full. “For a person living alone, there is nothing more important than that.”
“Hehehehe. I know yeah. Hey Corduroy! I’ll get you some high-end adult stones, so come live with me! “I’ll be good to you!”
[Kyaaagh! This is a violation of the human rights of electronic individuals, you scum!]
A drone flying violently with the sound of an angry turbine. As they called it, it was Corduro, a self-learning housing AI that lived in this shelter with Professor Park.
Corduroy was waiting for Professor Park, who did not return. There’s a deep and complicated story as to why I’m with these scum, but…
haha!
[Ugh! My old body! Budlam inoooom! How dare I use my body as a nostalgic drone full of the owner’s warm illegal modifications!!!]
In summary, the BDSM caravan guys, including the new owner, protected the shelter that was almost swept away by the mutant wave, and they often used it as a base when they passed by this area. It was like that.
‘Ah, master. I miss you… Are you alive and well? I… am going through a period of shame as the housing AI that manages this shelter…’ I used to
sing like that when I was with the professor, but when I bought it, I was unable to use it because I didn’t have a technician to connect it to the housing AI. Corduroy finally succeeded in changing. He thought of the professor as he looked at his old, miserable body.
These guys, who always come back covered in blood and dust, cannot be kicked out because they are the ‘guests’ of the new owner, Ian Bex, and do not fall into the category of ‘completely autonomous thinking and behavior’ set by Professor Park. After all, the only person he can treat roughly is Professor Park, who as the owner allows it.
It was explained at length, but it meant that since he was an ordinary human being, he could not touch according to the three laws of robots. They are not intruders, but humans outside of Corduro’s hands who cannot be shot and killed.
[Oh my gosh, master, what kind of bullshit case is this? My master, who said he would return soon, has not heard from me for a month since he came to Seoul, but the master who asked me to come did not come, and some big people came into the master’s house with dirt feet and told me to give me food and drink, so the AI, which had no courage to do anything, only looked at the promise without promise. [Spending every night with lubricant]
“You have to be patient, Corduroy. “They are just like Professor Park’s subordinates.”
[New master!]
In the end, Corduro, who had nothing left to do but nag, was about to recite the lament medley he had prepared for today. Thanks to Ian, who came into the shelter at the right time, Corduro’s AI lament literature, which was developing day by day, fell asleep with the preface at the end. .
“Why do you guys get sick every time you come to Professor Park’s shelter? What is it again this time? “Dorian, did that bastard make sauce with rat snails again?”
[Oh my gosh! Don’t even talk! Those people are not people, but type 2.5, right? How can living, breathing humans pollute the air inside the shelter where the purification facility returns to grass by as much as 30%? Please do something! Or maybe just make a group of neat and intelligent people and have them sleep here! Why are there some people in BDSM too! Like the technician who maintained the shelter last time, or the programmer who helped me change my body!]
“The white-faced Bousker said he won’t come in because you’ve been stalking him and whining about fixing the house, and Swan also wants you to install something, so he wants to see Professor Park, so he’s going to the administration. I’m shaking because they’re begging me to install CCTV. Kes doesn’t like loud things. Tolman is a former Happy Blind outcast, so he doesn’t like shelters, so he doesn’t come in. I mean, you kicked out the ‘sane and quiet’ guy that I wanted so much. “It’s a blessing to be self-employed, Corduroy.”
In fact, most of the well-washed and smart technicians and sniper cover teams were staying in the barracks in the yard that the Vex had swept and polished to a shine.
[So, from now on, whenever you come here, these guys will keep coming…?]
“They will stay at the shelter. I’ll do my best to wash it, but after that, please ask me. It’s an AI that guards the house. Get to work, Corduroy.”
“Did you hear? Instead of following those nerds you don’t like, let’s hang out with the ones we like.”
“Hehehehe. Just wait a moment, Corduroy. If the bonuses continue to be as high as this week, I think I will be able to purchase an old-fashioned adult robot within three months. “It would be much better than a body like that of an RPG game pet.”
[I am voiceless! No, since we learned Professor Park’s personality data, he is closer to a male!]
“An ambiguous male? Rather good! As expected, you’re the best, Corduro!”
[Ugh! I will tell you to Vex!]
“Hahaha! “Run away!”
“With this, Budlam takes the lead with three wins!”
“Hehehe. No joke. I really liked that AI. “If I actually see Captain Wang, who is said to be the foundation of that AI, I might confess.”
[Weeeeeng! Bex!! Bexniyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
.
A corduro goes out making a sound that you can’t tell if it’s a turbine sound or a cry. Ian looked at the drone and quietly scolded the bald boodle.
“Don’t talk about that in front of Vex. “You’re going to die, you idiot.”
“Hehe, I know, Captain. Brother Bex is no joke. Would you like to sit next to me? “I still have some alcohol left.”
“That’s it.”
Slurp.
Chick. Chick. Whoa whoa.
The crew members were randomly spread out on the floor of the shelter. However, even those who were just leaving left the old sofa that Ian was currently sitting on empty. It was a kind of respect for someone who is not here right now.
Ian exhaled his bitter feelings along with cigarette smoke as he felt the wide space of the sofa, which was too cramped for three people to sit on.
“Write. Let’s see. The rush team is here… Wait a minute. Why is it all there? Dorian Why are you here, you bastard? You and Tolman must have been on guard duty since the 1930s. “Get out now!”
“FUUUUUCK!!!!”
Contrary to his frowning face and mouth spitting out double curses, Dorian quickly puts on his combat uniform and enters the decompression room.
Ian took a deep breath of cigarette smoke as he looked around the assault platoon, which had turned into a mess after picking them in the best order.
Thruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…
. It’s been a while since I’ve been a head, so it doesn’t suit my body. “It was very comfortable when the professor was there.”
“Are you talking about Captain Wang?”
“Uh oh. When I was with that guy, even though I would vent about everything I didn’t like, he would strangely take care of everything. “It also turns the game around in a way that is good for us.”
“Tsk. “He always praised me so much that my mouth was dry, so I thought it was just a memory change, but now I can’t say no.”
“I know yeah. Even if I knew how to do half of what they do there, I would be just as good as President Young. So, are you going to visit me this time?”
“OK. I was already going to talk about that. The professor said his condition seemed to have improved a bit. There was a time when I got mixed up with Professor Hyde and almost fell, but since that day, my recovery has actually gotten faster. “Now, it can be said that the monster’s state has stabilized, so it’s okay to visit with outsiders.”
At the mention of a visit, the members of the rush team who were lying on the floor of the shelter stood up like meerkats.
“oh. “Then you can go into the administration ward?”
“Isn’t Dana there too?”
“The real thing…. The real thing of Dana’-sama….”
“He’s like a purifier for a soul steeped in mutant blood….”
“Hey, you beast-like bastards.”
slam!
“evil!”
Ian, who had caught the attention of the audience with the bald head of Budlam, who was next to him, continued what he was saying.
“Anyway, the time has come for the president’s work to end. Everyone, please stay alert. know? “Recently, the inspection department only gave me boring jobs like maintaining public order.”
“Ah… doesn’t everyone know this unless they’re an asshole? “Brother Bex won’t rest if you don’t receive such an order.”
“Didn’t the captain secretly invite me and Kes and tell us to break off Brother Vex’s legs? They said I would really die from overwork. I survived thanks to President Young. “In order to get one of Vex’s legs, even though I don’t know the captain, Kes and I had to be prepared to go after him.”
Ian thought of Vex’s eyes sparkling with life at Boodlam’s words. Now, as part of my treatment, I am shown a broadcast where the professor’s liveliness is overflowing and explodes, so my condition has improved slightly, but I still suffer from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. Especially when I’m sitting still with nothing to do.
Just today, I went out with a separate repeater to monitor the other side of the shelter. Ian felt even more sick when he thought of the guy grinning while looking at Professor Park on the small screen in the sandstorm.
“….a plague. Even Professor Park alone would make my stomach explode, but I wonder when he will come to his senses. Anyway, I’ll have to get back to my job soon. It is said that a hole has been opened in the area 45 expansion base defense line. “They say he’s a Type 3 Unidentified Star.”
“Nimi. “I locked it up two weeks ago.”
“Anyway, just think of it that way and relax. If there are people who need to update their will, talk to Bousker. Also, don’t get into trouble because women are naked and clingy to you in the refugee camp. Especially Carl Budlam Jimmy. I talked about you three guys last time. Also, if you face me behind bars at the inspection department, I will let you breathe through your mouth and temples from that day on.”
“Tsk! If I do anything, they will hate me. “How can you hate me so much?”
“Um… of course.”
slam!
“evil! really!”
“It’s because I especially hate you, Budlam, whose name is never mentioned when something happens, dude. Anyway, I spread it to those who are out on duty. more! Now go to sleep.”
“Yep!”
“Let’s go in!”
Even if they are lax when talking, subordinates quickly salute when leaving. Ian, who left the idiots behind and came out of the shelter, took a deep breath and shouted towards where Vex was likely to be.
『Stop coming in, you bastard!!!! 』
.
.
.
.
“…Nimi.”
Huuuuu-
『If you oversleep, I’ll leave it behind!!! They said they wouldn’t take me to visit!!!!』
.
.
.
.
sparkle. sparkle.
Only then did Ian sigh like an old man as he saw the luminous signal coming back from afar.
“It’s Area 45… I’ll be going there after a long time. Nimiral, how did I end up being the babysitter for this group of idiots?…”
Ian, who wanted to see Professor Park more today, puffed on a cigarette and walked towards his barracks.
Behind him, the sound of Vex climbing over the wall was heard.
****
Tap…. Tap!
Stumble-
“Aaaah!”
dump.
A small cabin in a secluded forest. Standing in the yard, Dana, instead of chopping firewood, fell backwards and almost hit her knee. She put down the ax and sighed quietly.
“Haaah. “Nothing is easy.”
GG. Gedreutz’s game. As an information merchant, he knew the subject better than anyone else, and that information was full of all kinds of strategies and tips for easy play.
I couldn’t play it because I was worried that strong emotional disturbance or shock wouldn’t be good for my naturally weak heart, but I thought that if I did, I could do better than anyone else.
When I actually played GG, it was like a different world that couldn’t be described simply as ‘full of realism.’
“Now that I think about it, I’ve never really used my body properly. “How on earth can that person use his body like that?”
My blistered hands were sore from swinging the heavy axe, and the tree thorns that were stuck in my slender hands were painful enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Dana felt as if she was losing consciousness as she looked at the professor, who was so exhausted that it was difficult to use his body to the point where it was doubtful whether any of the original text would remain.
Even outside. Even inside. A person who burns his life for a good cause more than anyone she knows.
Her face turned red at the words ‘my man’ that came to mind for a moment, but fortunately, there were only chirping birds to see as she lived alone in a quiet cabin.

Threesome Place: Huh!
eijoxh2772: Awesome! I can’t breathe. Ambulance Call an ambulance!
30 Years of Pediatric Tutoring: I’m sorry, but it looks like you suffered from acute cardiac infarction, which is rapidly becoming popular these days. There is no cure.
Heungan Mandu: Ugh! Thank you, Professor. Thank you, Rabbit Princess! Thank you for leading Speedwagon into a bright world! Ugh!
========
….Except these humans.
Dana felt embarrassed for a moment in the chat room where people went crazy whenever she did anything, but now she knew that if she was embarrassed here, there would be more chaos over there. Rather than wondering what to do, I chose to catch my breath.
“Sang…Taechang.”
Tiring-!
Translucent letters appeared before her eyes along with still awkward commands.
=========
Log/info
Name: Dana Elisha Hyacinth
Occupation: Undetermined
Race: [Human]
Gender: [Female]
Origin: [Youngest daughter of a reclusive noble]
Age: [Maturity (25)]
+Characteristics: [Insight] [Born in the nobility] [Gyeongguk Color] [Moon Song] [Clumsy Hands] [Dwarf Candle]
+Log
+Item: ㅁ / Old Axe / ㅁ
Realistic + Personal Synchronization Mode ON
=========
Status window. A window that literally shows the status of the object.
Although she had never played the game, Dana knew GG’s information well enough to be recognized by the famous Nerd Association, so she knew quite accurately what her condition was.
Objectively, her character was very good.
That fact made her blush again.
Realistic + private sync mode. This was a mode that reflected her desire to live in an environment similar to that of the professor, which she put in despite fierce opposition from viewers.
This combination, also called the character mode, can be added for about 300,000 shillings. Simply put, it is a mode that transfers the player’s status to the in-game, and is a minor mode that is classified as a penalty in all cases where money is added. .
A mode that literally projects the scanned state of the player onto the character in the game.
If you think about it, it is natural that it is a penalty. What if the player is a hero who has overcome all kinds of battles?
You will start with the following merits: reflexes + aim + some strength +.
However, that kind of perk only comes with changing to an archer, and even if you receive the perk, your strength is less than half that of an adult Orc. With such a theme, you can’t choose a single characteristic that can be selected when creating a character, and even minor characteristics such as battlefield PTSD or fear of explosions and binge drinking are all included.
Even if it’s in the best condition. What if it is used by a person who is stuck in a shelter watching GG broadcasts on a bad day and forgetting cans? The worst character is created, with no good traits, a dull and slow body, and all kinds of adult diseases. The GG system, which is very objective and fair, even acknowledges that you are ugly based on characteristics such as [heavy build] and [light color].
The self-character mode was a mode that no one used except old men like sluts who wanted to enjoy 19+ play, even the platonic parts that were not necessary in a fantasy world where all kinds of pretty girls cut up mountains and seas.
Dana also thought a lot before using this mode. She came to GG not to enjoy games, but to improve the work environment.
still.
Dana wanted to experience this world as it was alive.
Is it because you have a bad heart?
Many people have already passed away before her.
Because there may be characters that are difficult to play?
Still, I wanted to live in a world full of grass and trees with my own body.
Climbing the hill.
tending the yard
Try cooking with fish caught from the river.
I wanted to realize the things I had only dreamed of in the hospital as a child, dreams that are now impossible, even in a virtual world.
Dana Elisha Hyacinth As she is pure.
The conclusion is… well… it came out better than I expected. A little maybe a lot.
[The youngest daughter of a reclusive nobleman] was the origin she chose for an extra shilling. A noble couple, tired of the cruel world, settled down in a remote village… At the time of play, their parents are dead and they have left behind a lot of inheritance, and the two older brothers have moved to the city and do not know about the news.
It was a perfect place to live alone while quietly processing information, but of course it was expensive.
Of course, the moment Levitt overheard her worries and brandished his flashy card, the worries became meaningless.
So, the characteristics other than [the youngest daughter of a reclusive nobleman]… are said to be the characteristics of a person named ‘Dana Elisha Hyacinth’, which was identified by the GG system through the connector and through her community chat room records.
=========
Darby: He’s always an awesome character. This is the first time I learned that you can get as many as 3 rare specials in JaCapple.
NOmarcy72: ㄹㅇ That’s Injin River….
Pao Chai Chai: [Gyeonggukji] How many hero units did you have? six? seven?
GOM Destroyer: Five people have been revealed so far in World 3. One from the Levitt family, one from the Empire’s second princess, one from the count’s daughter who can be rescued at the end of the Warlock’s Tower quest, and one from the 7th rank illegal priest Sydney Flameskirt. I don’t remember the rest.
=========
Yes, that is the problem.
[Gyeongguk Jisaek]
A beauty who can turn a country.
Why does such a famous trait belong to her? For someone like Levitt, who doesn’t know how to decorate well and has spent her entire life wearing hospital gowns, she still only wears loose, simple clothes, such a shameful trait.
slap.
“…Come to your senses, Dana. “I’m going to eat fruit for dinner tonight too.”
Thinking that she wouldn’t be able to do anything if she got more caught up in the audience’s atmosphere, Dana pushed the status window and chat room into the corner, took out some firewood piled up in a corner of the yard, and held it in her arms.
She just wanted to do it herself, but in fact, the young people in the village brought it to everyone, so it was piled up until this winter.
Warm fire. A bubbling, clumsy fish soup. A small cup of flower tea for dessert.
“Whoa.”
Although the fish soup tasted worse than the refugee camp rations was disappointing, Dana did not let that discourage her. Because I’m just starting to learn. One day, when the professor came out and joined her again, I didn’t want to be seen as a woman who couldn’t do anything.
Rattling.
I put away the finished dishes and turned on a small lantern to prepare for the night in the forest that was quickly getting dark.
Now that you’ve finished resting, it’s time to get to work.
“…I heard that BDSM people are making a comeback today. “I guess I’ll have to hurry up a bit.”
Crunch, crunch, crunch – a
quiet cabin. Under the flickering candlelight, the sound of Dana’s pen brushing her long hair with a small twig filled the cabin.
A small smile appeared on her lips as she thought of the two people who had been shouting at each other and saying that they were no different from the professor’s sworn brothers.
