HIGH GEAR (2)
Sirone could not move.
With my body frozen like a piece of wood, I felt the inertia of being sucked somewhere.
The blue light that seemed to flow through the wire continued, and at some point, darkness came.
‘Is the event starting?’ Since when have my eyes been closed? Grumble. Grumble.
When I opened my eyelids at the sound of thunder, I saw a sky covered with clouds like scum.
My eyes were half closed as cold raindrops fell.
“Hehehe! I found it! “I found a wild dog.”
I tried to look up when I heard a voice beneath my feet, but the chain was pressing down on my neck.
‘I’m tied up.’
He was lying on a board with his entire body wrapped in thick chains.
A man with a long chain tied to a board draped over his shoulder muttered as he walked across the mud.
“Damn you guys. “How dare you ignore my achievements?”
While listening to the man, Sirone checked his own mental state.
‘Hmm, neither magic nor fireworks work.’
Perjury is impossible in Hwashin.
Since it was Shirone’s own decision, there was no rejection.
‘Is it possible to stop this…?’
It did not seem to be a code that could not be destroyed if one decided to reach the level of Yahweh.
‘Still, it’s really powerful code. I think my coding skills surpass Shura’s.’
I wondered what the man’s expression would be like if he broke the chain and woke up.
‘I won’t be able to see it anyway.’
The moment it deviated from the designer’s intention, there was a high possibility that the event itself would stop.
“Day…
At that time, Sirone’s mouth moved on its own.
“Where are you taking me? Release this bastard quickly!”
The man turned his head.
“Hehehe! Are you awake? you are lucky “Because from now on, you will be able to live forever.”
“no! “Send me back to where I live!”
“It’s already too late. Then why are you crawling into the dump? “Like a rat, I will just live inside the building.”
“Aaaah! “Aaaah!”
Sirone shook his head and struggled.
‘I feel dizzy.’
I still felt at ease, but it was a bit unfamiliar to have my vision uncontrolled.
“ha! ha!”
Even the sound of his terrified breathing didn’t seem to be his own.
“I’m here. “They’re all here.”
From my perspective aligned with the ground, I saw the door open, and immediately the ceiling approached. I
climbed up the incline onto what looked like a narrow operating table, and only then did I see the man’s face.
A mechanical human with tattered skin had flashing blue eyes.
“Do you know what this is?”
He held out a sphere device.
‘I don’t know.’
Sirone wanted to speak, but the event forced his body to tremble.
“Hi gear. Semi-permanent power engine. “If you have this, you too can enjoy eternal life.”
“no! don’t do it!”
Ignoring Sirone’s answer, the man turned his back and headed towards the table.
“Let’s start with the introduction. I am Dr. Martin. Developer of High Gear and unfortunate genius. He’s such a genius that he’s only made a mistake once in his life. But that one mistake brought me to this situation.”
What Martin took out was an ax that was half rusted.
“What was that mistake? He gave eternal life to trash like you. Damn it. Eternal life cannot be redeemed. Actually, high gear is a godsend. “As long as there is sun, there is no need to eat or sleep.” ‘
Srrrrrrut
?’ ? O 9 1 ~ ? o ?
The sound of an ax blade being sharpened was heard.
“What I overlooked is that you guys are the scum of the scum. When I developed a drug that cured incurable diseases and prevented aging, people looked up to me like a god. There was not a city where a statue of Martin was not erected. But when they gave him eternal life…
Martin jerked his head.
“Are these people trying to kill me now?”
Even while breathing heavily, Sirone gradually became interested in his story.
“You wanted to kill me and monopolize my technology to become a new god. That’s how I got kicked out. It was horribly ruined. But I didn’t give up. Those who rebel against God will be punished. Hehehe! Yes, heavenly punishment.”
Martin, who was stroking the sack lovingly, said with a mad expression on his face.
“Because I took away the sun.”
There were many more things he wanted to ask, but his mouth didn’t open, and Martin finished preparing everything.
“High gear will replace your heart. A huge number of nanomachines are coursing through your blood vessels. Your brain will soon be eaten too. It doesn’t matter if my arm gets cut off, and it would be nice to have an excavator installed. “There is no such thing as an immune response.”
Martin, with his ax on his shoulder, once again showed Sirone in high gear.
It wasn’t beating like a heart, but blue electricity was circulating regularly along the lens-like groove.
“I am human! I’m not saying you’re a monster o] You son of a bitch!”
It was an unfamiliar stimulus to speak language that I would not have normally used.
“Then let’s begin. Hehehe! Heehee hee!”
Martin, who had placed the high gear on the table, spat on his palm and lifted the ax with both hands.
“no! go away!”
Sirone’s vision wavered again and Martin raised his ax above his head.
“I’ll eat your heart!”
The moment he rushed forward, no matter how much of a simulation it was, I couldn’t help but feel dizzy.
“Aaaah! no! An… Before the death sentence was over, Martin’s ax
was plunged into Sirone’s abdomen.
‘Huh!’
The moment I felt my heart sink, my vision darkened and I heard a woman’s voice.
“Start customizing.”
When I came to my senses, the humid laboratory was gone and I was in a place surrounded by mirrors on all sides.
As I was looking at my naked body in the mirror, numerous gauges appeared next to me.
“This is a space where the user’s body shape is processed. Please create the shape you want and give the command to complete it.”
I took a quick look and found that all the items needed for three-dimensional design were listed, and some were locked.
‘Is this paid content?’
Sirone, who was looking at items such as gender reassignment, abnormalities, and other abnormalities, made a decision.
“complete. “I will do just that.”
Unlike other users, Sirone, who accessed the site for real-life issues, felt aversion to the change in shape.
“Customization is complete.”
My vision darkened again and a hazy scene appeared, as if I had been drugged.
“Kkkkkk. Fight, fight.”
Martin’s voice was heard.
Sirone realized that his chain had come loose and he was being dragged across the floor.
“A half-lived eternal life that cannot live without the sun. Destroy each other. “Fight endlessly.”
Martin, who arrived at the steep cliff, pulled Sirone’s feet and shouted.
“This is God’s punishment!” The moment I felt the acceleration of gravity, I felt weak and my senses returned.
“Uuuuh.”
When you finally regained your physical freedom and regained your balance, you could see the distant earth.
‘It’s incredibly high, right?’
If you fall like this without any countermeasures, not only your limbs but also your torso will be shattered.
– We run the artificial intelligence program.
At that time, I heard a mechanical sound in my head.
“huh?”
A blue film was placed on the retina, and numerous information was expressed in augmented reality.
-High gear level 1. Energy output.
A huge amount of energy erupted from the heart and enveloped Sirone’s entire body.
“Wow.”
The powerful force offset the feeling of fear, but it was still at a height where fatal injuries could not be avoided.
-Mechanism of kinetic energy reduction.
A red circle was drawn on the landscape, and the probability was seen changing in real time along the peak line.
‘61.7 percent.’
Sirone found a rock jutting out of the cliff and grabbed it.
“Ugh!”
With an impact that felt like my arm was going to fall off, the rock broke and started falling down again.
As the falling speed decreased, more recommended patterns emerged and the probability became much higher.
Coo coo thump!
After stepping on the rock wall a few times, Sirone landed safely on the ground.
– Location navigation. Beginner’s Zone is the home of iron.
Feeling the cold wind, I looked around and saw numerous piles of scrap metal blocking my view.
Augmented reality provided information about objects.
‘They’re all weapons and armor, right?’
These were items that did not need to be made in Sirone’s world, such as helmet rifles and grenades.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!
A gunshot could be faintly heard beyond the scrap metal pile.
‘I should arm myself too.’
At that time, a beeping sound was heard, and a picture of a letter appeared in Sirone’s right eye.
-Would you like to view beginner tips?
“View.”
There was a lot of detailed information that could not be heard in the tutorial.
“Hmm, there are a total of three user statuses. Artificial intelligence level engine output level selective options.”
Since Sirone was currently level 1, there were no bonuses attached to any items.
“Once you try it, you’ll understand.”
After roughly understanding the system, Sirone next checked the parts that bothered him.
‘You can’t use magic or fireworks.
But…
the 11th sense remained.
‘Is this part of the beginner’s tip?’
High Gear’s combat power is calculated mathematically, but there are cases where this is not possible.
‘Well, you can’t quantify things like judgment or agility. If the same goes for the senses…
Shirone thought for a moment and opened his eyes like a rabbit.
“Good?”
Sirone, who had hope of defeating the Operator, excitedly searched through the scrap metal pile.
I put on an old helmet, took a rifle and a pistol, and stuffed the magazines into the belt.
It weighed approximately 10 kilograms, but it did not feel heavy.
‘Hi gear.’
The power unit that replaced the heart was emitting explosive energy every time it cycled.
‘This is level 1 output? Then, if you become a ranker, how far will you go…’
The corner of his mouth went up at the rising shiver.
“good! “Let’s get started!”
Sirone tapped his helmet and took his first steps into the virtual world, one step at a time.
A point 200 meters away from there.
“You’re here, you’re here.”
A long-haired man stood on top of a pile of scrap metal, pointing a rifle at Sirone.
When level 7 artificial intelligence implemented augmented reality, a code name appeared above the target.
“The code name is Yahweh 2. “Oh, it’s platinum?”
He took his gaze off the scale and blinked.
‘Raw bio without parts. An old helmet that can only be obtained at the first branch. And platinum.’
There was only one conclusion.
“haha.”
In order to secure an expensive code name, they brought in someone who didn’t really matter in real life.
‘It’s been a while since I caught a big fish.’
When I put my hand on the trigger, the artificial intelligence automatically aimed at Sirone’s helmet.
‘The old helmet is a good item, but level 7 artificial intelligence calculates penetration as well.’
This difference is very important.
This is because the brain is the only organ in High Gear that cannot be replaced with parts.
‘The downside is that computation is slow.’ The number next to the aim changed in real time and was fixed at 98% penetration probability.
‘Goes.’
When I pulled the trigger, a gunshot went off.
At the same time, Sirone twisted his body, and the bullet missed by a narrow margin.
The long-haired man opened his mouth blankly.
“How?”
If the artificial intelligence level had been high, the presence of the sniper would have been detected from the beginning.
“Dodging bullets with nothing?” The code name Yahweh 2 sparkled in the eyes of a man who seemed to have lost his soul.
