My Villains Episode 001

1. Hardcore PvP(l)

As soon as I got home from work, exhausted, I turned on the computer.

By the time I changed clothes and finished washing my face briefly, the booting was over.

I stretched out in pain.

“Kkeuhn••••••

The sound of pain comes out naturally.

I turned my neck around and double-clicked the icon in the center of the desktop.

‘Dark World.’

Boasting gorgeous graphics, real sound, and hundreds of thousands of concurrent users… … It wasn’t that kind of game.

Is it because the game came out twenty years ago? It was slowly classified as a classic game.

Still, because it was such a well-made game, there were still people who enjoyed it, and I was one of them.

Actually, I’m a bit of an unusual case to simply call myself ‘one of them’. I first encountered this game a week or two after its release and have been playing it ever since.

Of course, I didn’t just play games for 20 years, so it was difficult for me to boast of being ‘#1 in play time’. I stopped playing games for a while when I was a senior in high school, when I was in the military, and when I was seriously dating.

“Now, who is today’s victim…? … I quickly tapped the space bar to skip the opening of the carefully created dot graphics.

人｝ lined up with several low-level characters with ugly equipment, and my main character with a red aura was welcoming me.

My main character’s name was ‘Pique Request Note’, level 95, and class was Blood Knight.

I was a regular user of Dark World, but the only character I could clear was the Blood Knight.

This situation was due to my play style.

I am a truly hardcore user.

Hardcore was a mode where if a character died during play, there was a penalty of not being able to be revived. Of course, it’s a mode that most light users don’t even pay attention to.

However, for me, hardcore was a mode that I was grateful for that allowed me to feel the thrill while enjoying the game for a long time.

Anyway, even if you are a hardcore user, after playing for a few years, you will have the know-how to clear the campaign with ease.

Of course, I surpassed that level a long time ago. But why is there only one Camcle character?

This is because I am the most perverted hardcore PvP user among perverted hardcore users.

Can you guess what happened to all my Cample characters now? okay. I lost it all while doing PvP.

No matter how good you are at PvP, if you fight until you die, you will eventually die.

There are not many real men who enjoy PvP (Player versus player) in hardcore mode, where levels and items are lost with a single death. In particular, there are very few players who play PvP with characters who have overcome the extremely difficult campaign. It was.

In my case… … There are probably well over a thousand characters in the US (permanently dead).

Among them, there were about four or five characters that reached level 100, which is the ‘maximum level’, and you can’t even count characters over level 90. The ‘Grave’ tab, which collects permanently dead characters, is endless no matter how much you scroll down.

Among Dark World users around the world, there are probably not many who are as crazy about hardcore PvP as I am.

A short loading screen turned off, revealing the familiar village scenery and my blood knight. I immediately checked the note.

‘ oh.’

Unlike usual, two messages arrived. Of course, both are PvP applications.

I carefully read the first note and started typing.

►To Suri Suri Ju Suri: I have checked your message. Is it possible now?

＞SuriSuriJuSuri: Oh, you encountered it.

＞Suri Suri Jusuri: It’s a burden.

＞Suri Suri Ju Suri: But are you really okay with 3:1?

“Newbie?”

I thought about that for a while… … Oh, probably not. Newbies aren’t common in games that are 20 years old.

Perhaps users who played in normal mode will try their hand at hardcore mode.

Then you get used to the thrill, like this

It’s about finding a place to bury the character.

►To Suri Suri Ju Suri: You are 80 Summon Shaman, 76 Jeontae Knight, and 79 Tattoo Beersham, right?

＞Suri Suri Jusuri: Yes, yes

＞Suri Suri Jusuri: Ah, Jeon Tae-gi.

►To Suri Suri Ju Suri: Then, please be polite.

►To Suri Suri Jusuri: ??

＞Suri Repair Jusuri: Reuse level 77

►To Suri Suriju Suri: n 天

►To Suri Suri Jusuri: Would you like to come to my room?

＞Suri Suri Jusuri: Yes, yes

My blood knight, ‘Pique Request Note’, is a character that reaches level 95, as I mentioned earlier.

He was also the strongest character in my Dark World play history, having survived countless PvP battles over the past year.

Although he was not at max level, his equipment was very good and his skill tree was set to specialize in PvP, so he was a truly ‘remarkably strong’ character.

So, after reaching level 90, it becomes almost impossible to find an opponent of a similar level. Throwing away a high-level character that you’ve trained for several months for a moment’s thrill was, to put it mildly, impossible.

So the solution I found was many-to-one PvP.

Two people if level 80 or higher, three people if level 70 or higher, five people if level 60 or higher… … In this way, I came to enjoy the inner region against the majority.

Even so, after the kill log of ‘Pique Request Message’ exceeded 500, there were almost no users applying for PvP.

This is because the character name has become known through various Dark World-related community sites.

I’ve even earned the rather worthy nickname ‘Bloodmaster’, so I’ve said it all.

Therefore, a day like today is truly a missed day.

“Whoa… … Come, you bastards.”

As I was checking my items and skill shortcuts and relaxing my stiff hands, a series of notification sounds rang.

[A new hero has joined. Become a friend by shaking hands, or kill by fighting.]

I ignored the beep and typed. After some simple agreements, it was finally time for the duel.

I kept my distance from the opponent and spent some vitality to apply several buffs.

‘Iron-blooded armor’ that repairs itself every time I inflict damage.

A ‘Blood Blade’ that becomes stronger by absorbing the blood around it.

‘Blood Thirst’ that enhances accuracy and attack power.

Even the ‘conception’ of creating an alter ego with blood.

As soon as I used the secondary skill, I took a vitality potion.

I won’t be able to see the effects of the potion for another minute, but it doesn’t matter. Because the potions over there are running with increasing momentum.

While my Blood Knight applied the buff, the opponent did not sit still.

The shaman summoned all kinds of spirits, and the paladin gave buffs to his colleagues.

The berserker rushed forward with the bizarre tattoos on his body glowing ominously.

Before that, a large translucent eagle and a pack of wolves attacked at incredible speed.

I calmly sprayed the ‘Wind of Blood’ skill to wipe out the summons and cast the ‘Swamp of Blood’ skill on the blood on the floor.

Coughing. With a mysterious sound, the blood turned dark and tied up the feet of the enemies.

At that time, ‘Kwaaaak!’ The berserker jumped up with a shout and swung his huge ax wildly.

I parried the berserker’s attack with iron armor and cast a skill at the feet of the paladin who was attacking me from the side.

It was ‘Blood Festival’, one of the Blood Knight’s final skills.

The Paladin suffered considerable damage along with a rather spectacular effect, with blood exploding all over the screen.

A paladin who runs away while using a potion. I ignored him and ran straight towards the shaman.

The shaman quickly retreated, but by activating the shoe option, his movement speed increased dramatically, so my blood knight was able to quickly catch up with him.

The berserker tried to use berserk to cling to me, but was blocked by my persistent clone.

‘You’re a Berserker with a tattoo, right? ‘You’ll have to beat it for at least thirty seconds.’

As Manj thought so, the bear spirit next to the shaman swelled its size and swung its front paw.

As soon as the bear spirit’s front paw tore through the iron and blood armor, the tiger spirit leapt out of the ground and made a sneak attack.

Cry!

“Uh,”

Crazy, look at the deal. Where does this damage come from? Shaman is level 80, right?

As if a fatal blow had occurred, the vitality bar was reduced to nothing.

If you get hit like that three or four more times, you will die permanently.

Ugh, a cold sweat breaks out.

The fingers tapping on the keyboard and mouse naturally became more urgent.

I dealt with the tiger spirit by mixing the ‘Blood Thorn’ skill with basic attacks.

After recovering, he used the ‘Red Ice’ skill on the attacking paladin to slow him down and then charged at the shaman again.

Then the Paladin shook off the interference with the ‘Fanatical’ skill and attacked with the ‘Glorious Charge’ skill.

‘Dash of Glory’ is a fearsome skill that stuns the opponent for a whopping 5 seconds on a master level.

Although my character’s stun resistance is quite high, I would be stunned for at least 3 seconds.

In short, that ‘Glorious Charge’ is a skill that will kill you if you hit it now.

‘one two!’

I stopped breathing and used the ‘Blood Grasp’ skill at the right time.

Then, just before the Holy Knight’s shield touched, my character stretched out his arm and grabbed the Holy Knight’s neck.

Success or failure is determined by a frame or two difference, but if successful, it is an advanced technique that can chew up the opponent’s skill activation.

Every time my blood knight’s arm twitched, the blood on the paladin’s body burst out one after another.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh!”

［Boy Knight Kim Jeon-tae: Crazy］

［Suri Suri Jusuri: Bitgap］

［Boy Knight Kim Jeon-tae: View Bug Game］

“100 million! 100 million! Ugh.”

The Holy Knight let out a series of screams in his unique, deep voice.

I struck the paladin with a series of normal attacks, breaking the paladin’s shield and inflicting damage with the ‘Blood Thorn’ skill. At the same time, additional damage occurred due to the Blood Grasp effect.

［Boy Knight Kim Jeon-tae: Just sleep］ ［Suri Suri Jusuri: Bitgab se

［Boy Knight Kim Jeon-tae: Sleep□ Black］

［Boy Knight Kim Jeon-tae: Nim］ ［Suri Surijusuri Nim: Use the light armor］

［Boy Knight Kim Jeon-tae: Jiji-ye

［Suri Suri Jusuri: Byeongsina］

［Boy Knight Kim Jeon-tae: ］

A text message popped up in the chat window, but I ignored it and finished the Paladin with a normal attack.

“Uh huh.”

‘I need to use my skills during chatting time.’

If you are caught in the ‘Grip of Blood’, you will be unable to move, but you will not faint. Therefore, even if you were captured, you could survive if you used various skills… … .

Well, yes. Due to the nature of hardcore PvP, keeping your cool is easier said than done. Even though I’m quite tired, my hands shake sometimes.

In this way, the level 77 paladin faced eternal death. A character that had taken a couple of months of effort had disappeared in vain.

On the other hand, my character’s vitality was restored with the ‘Vampirism’ passive while beating the paladin. Even if I died and woke up now, the other two couldn’t defeat me.

They must have realized this, too, as they had a short chat just as I was about to use my skills.

This came up.

[BigHardAxe: 3三]

At the end of that chat, the Berserker and Shaman characters disappeared one after another.

[The hero has left.]

[The hero has left.]

“Ac. “It’s a LAN cable draw.” I mumbled something regretful and massaged my trembling hands.

“Ahuu.”

Looking at the results alone, it may have seemed like an easy victory, but it was a dangerous situation.

‘Battle Knight (a paladin who mainly uses battle stance skills)’ and ‘Tattoo Berserker (a berserker with magical tattoos)’ are both recognized PvP classes, and ‘Summon Shaman (a shaman who summons various spirits)’ is an item. The attack power of this spirit was no joke.

Perhaps, if the Paladin had used his skills a little more calmly and held on, my Blood Knight might have melted under the attacks of the berserker and shaman.

＞Kim Jeon-tae12:

＞Kim Jeon-tae12:

＞Kim Jeon-tae12: I just bought Jeon Tae-gi.

＞Kim Jeon-tae12: Just give me the item.

＞Kim Jeon-tae12: Just a shield and a ring.

＞Kim Jeon-tae12: Jebla

＞Kim Jeon-tae12: Please

＞Kim Jeon-tae12:

“What are you talking about?”

I sneered, cut off the whispers, and collected the items from the dead paladin’s body.

I sold most of the items to the store, but the shield and ring looked really good, so I mailed them as secondary characters.

After trembling for a moment with a sense of victory, I took a sip of my bottle of water and checked another note.

After checking the sender’s name, I snorted and started chatting.

“what the. “This guy is disgusting.”

►To Trickster29: Did you grow it again?

|>Trickster29: Uh.

【＞Trickster29: I’m leaving now.

►To Trickster29: Big big big big big

That’s right

No sooner had the chat ended than the Kwon Beopga character appeared in the village.

When I saw the character’s level, I gaped in bewilderment.

“Wow, level 93? “When did you grow this again?”

In Dark World, it was impossible to check the opponent’s equipment, so you had to infer the opponent’s equipment only from the character’s clothes.

And the outfit that the martial artist was currently wearing, emitting a white aura, was clearly a high-end set item called ‘Oriental Divine Monk’s Maintenance’.

[Pique application note: Wow, old man]

[Pique request note: Was it wise?]

[Trickster29: Just go for it.]

I suddenly remembered that the last time I played PvP with my uncle was only about ten days ago.

［Pique application note: Your level is also high］

［Pique application note: Rotating the workshop?］

As far as I know, it is impossible to reach level 93 in 10 days even if you leave it to the workshop. Is this a hidden character?

[Trickster29: You talk a lot.]

[Trickster29: Just go for it.]

The person using the ID ‘Trickster29’ was a user who had been enjoying Dark World for quite some time.

Judging by the way he chatted and the control that was getting dull day by day, he seemed to be quite old… … It’s been a long time since I became a junkie who donates items on a regular basis.

［Pique application note: There was a time when I was raising monks.］

［Pique application note: Good］

I tried to provoke him a little more, but the old man was ignoring the chat and moving out of the village. I snorted and followed him.

The result of the ensuing duel was… … Well, of course I won.

“what the. “What is this man, his condition is rotting day by day?”

At best, I raised a ‘Jangpung Monk (a martial arts expert who mainly uses the Baekbo Shinken skill)’ and engaged in close combat, so I couldn’t lose even if I wanted to.

“Wow, you tried the Yuji set from Hardcore.”

As I was happily searching for the body of the legal expert, I heard a whisper.

|>Trickster: You bastard!

I giggled and tapped on the keyboard.

►To Trickster: Oh my god

►To Trickster: Oh, that’s funny.

►To Trickster: Hungry pain =• Gyeong =i

[>Trickster: Open the room.

►To Trickster: It hurts so much.

►To Trickster: I am going to raise a monk.

>Trickster: You bastard!

While I was giggling for a while, something strange suddenly happened.
