My Villains Episode 003

2. Open your eyes (1)

Uh, what is it?

Amusement park? Why am I here?

“Samchoon!”

A lovely voice comes from behind.

When the silence suddenly broke, I looked back with tears in my eyes.

A girl wearing a T-shirt with a large picture printed on it and a denim skirt was running hopping.

“Did you have fun?”

“Oh, that was really crazy! What about the photos? ‘Did you take a picture’?”

“here.”

When I held out the broken smartphone, Jiwon burst into laughter.

“Puhahaha, what is this! “Is this your uncle’s hydrocephalus?”

The guy chuckled and flipped through the photos.

“Wow, I really can’t take pictures. Uncle is now an uncle too. “My senses are completely dead.”

“Hey, what a man. “How can you be a 23-year-old man?”

“Ha, uncle. “Age is not important.”

“then?”

Jiwon made a humorous expression in response to my question.

It’s so disgusting that you look so much like your older sister.

“Of course it’s important to look good!”

“Hey, I’m young enough, right? “Even these days, if you go to a bar, your ID is checked.”

“You’re paying lip service on purpose. “Your uncle doesn’t even know that?”

Jiwon and I passed the police line and sat down on the bench.

He massaged my calf and gave me a chin gesture.

“Uncle, they sell churros over there.”

“•••however?”

“I’m hungry.”

“It sounds like a bang. Do you want to get beaten up?”

“Oh quick!”

“no way… “Buy it?”

“Hi-Hi.”

“You used to call me uncle, but now I order it naturally. “You, the youth of this age, should buy it.”

“Oh, it’s hard. “Can’t you do that much to your pretty niece?”

Due to his anger, I eventually got up and headed to the store.

I was waiting for the churros to come out in a store with the lights off… .

Wow, the smell of butter-grilled squid fills my nose.

I can’t stand this.

“Hey, Han Ji-won! “Eat squid-”

After saying that, I turned around.

Naturally, there was no support on the bench.

“uh.”

There was someone sitting on the bench that should have been empty.

A beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

“Huh?”

A girl with a familiar appearance was looking at me and waving her hand.

The cold wind and water droplets hit my face.

••Smell of the sea?

I suddenly opened my eyes to the salty breath that passed the tip of my nose. I screamed without realizing it as the rough sea filled my field of vision.

“Aaaah!”

“Ai, be surprised!”

A grim-looking sailor nearby growled as he pulled his sails.

“Brother! “If you don’t want to get hurt, stick to your ass!”

“yes yes?”

Only then did I realize that I was standing on a ship in a storm.

It was a ship with two large sails, but the deck seemed crowded with all kinds of miscellaneous items and merchants filling the seats, leaving no room for movement.

As I looked around in panic, the sailor shouted again.

“Sit down! “I’m so dizzy I’m going to die already!”

“yes? Ah—yes, yes!”

I looked sideways at the sailor’s tanned, bulky shoulders. His grim expression and harsh tone made me collapse.

Even though the seat was only a small gap between the piles of luggage, I had no choice but to squeeze my butt.

My teeth chatter as the wet water comes over my whole body.

What is it, Si What is here?

I sat down while a scary-looking man was yelling at me… … What the hell is going on?

I looked everywhere and tried to understand the situation.

As I already understood, I was sitting on the deck of a ship sailing on a stormy sea.

Despite my unexpected behavior, the passengers on deck only gave me a glance, and the crew seemed busy running around frantically.

Now that I thought about it, the waves were so strong that it felt like the boat would capsize at any moment.

Ugh, fuck, I’m getting motion sick… … uh?

I used to get so sick of motion sickness that I couldn’t even take a cruise on the Han River. But for some reason, I’m fine now.

With the cold raindrops, the chilling sea breeze, and all the loud noises piercing my ears, my senses were sharper than ever, but strangely, I didn’t feel dizzy.

“What is this… …

As I wiped the moisture from my face, I shrugged my shoulders in shock.

I raised my hand and swept my face, and it felt like I was touching someone else’s face with someone else’s hand – a very unfamiliar sensation.

The unfamiliar texture was caused by changes in the face and hands.

First of all, the nose was too high, and the hands were big and rough. My hands were several times rougher than the hands that were sore from working part-time in the kitchen when I was a high school student or the hands that were dry during cold weather training.

“What the fuck is this?” …

When I looked down again, my body felt strange too.

If you think of my original body, that is, Kim Seung-su’s body – with a height barely above average, skinny arms and legs, and a protruding belly – it was, in a word, the physique of a typical office worker.

But now… … Every time I twisted my body, I could clearly feel the strong muscles throughout my body.

The limbs were surprisingly long, and there was no fat on the waist. Surprised, I felt my marble-like chest muscles as I touched myself.

The outfit was also strange.

The top and bottom were made of leather. The pants seemed to have been processed at least, but the top was rough, as if it were made of rawhide.

Iron armor with ropes loosely hanging from the chest and shoulders.

There was a knife wrapped in a cloth lying around at my feet, and it looked like something I had dropped earlier when I got up.

When I looked down because my waist was getting in the way, I saw that a shield as big as my head was hanging from my belt and was shaking.

What is this? What was I wearing?

I tried to stay calm and started to remember.

The blood knight ‘Pique Application Note’, who had been carefully raised for nearly a year, was killed by the Trickster.

Whether it was a hack or a bug, it was an obvious cheating play and I hurled two insults at the guy.

The trickster left, and I let go of my anger and sat down again after eating.

I played ‘Nuclear Fighter Lee Saeki’, a level 1 blood knight I created in a fit of anger.

After successfully clearing Chapter 1 and boarding the ship heading to Chapter 2, I closed the game and fell asleep… … .

‘Wait a minute, put me on a boat?’

My body trembled as if I had been struck by lightning.

The surrounding scenery, my changed body and clothes, the vague knowledge flowing into my head… … The brain, which received a lot of information, completed the calculation in an instant.

And the so-called ‘feel’ and the cold reason that remained came to the same conclusion.

“this.”

I am 30 this year, a young man or an old man in my 3rd year of working life… … .

“Mr. …

He became the hardcore character of the Dark World, the blood knight ‘Hack Hacker’.

After trying everything I could to escape reality for a day, I finally came to terms with the situation in front of me.

To quell my hunger, I took out hardened black bread from my pocket, not sure if it was a bag or a bag, soaked it in rainwater, and chewed it. Meanwhile, I was lost in thought.

The main stage of Dark World is divided into two branches. Campaigns and Expeditions.

Expedition is high-level content that involves wandering around a hellish other dimension and farming items, and the campaign is content that progresses the game’s story.

Dark World’s campaign consists of a total of ten chapters, including Chapter 1, which is essentially a tutorial.

During the campaign, players go on a desperate journey to prevent Middle World from being tainted by the Dark World.

And the ship I was on was the passage connecting Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the Dark World Campaign.

The crucial difference between the game and reality was that the journey was not omitted with a short video, but that the journey was sailing on the sea while facing wind and rain.

“Fuck you.”

After wiping the moisture from my face, I sighed and cursed, burying my forehead between my knees.

‘Why is it a dark world? …

If I were to express the worldview of Dark World in one word, it could be said to be ‘a dead end without dreams or hope.’

Kings wage war, and lords wage civil war. The church was corrupted, and thieves, monsters, and undead were rampant in various places.

The future becomes even more chaotic. All other dimensions, including the Dark World, break down the thin dimensional boundaries and come to this place, Middle World.

Because it is going to be swallowed up.

“Whoa.”

As I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling my head pounding, I remembered the scene I had seen in my dream earlier when I forced myself to fall asleep.

Familiar texts and symbols. It was a character sheet that displayed stats and skills without any room for misunderstanding.

For some reason, the equipment window did not appear, but the character sheet alone was enough to solidify my confidence that I was now in the dark world.

He also checked the status of his stats and skills, as well as the ring on his hand.

The conclusion I came to like that was… … I felt like I was now a character in the dark world. After clearing Chapter 1, he became a level 10 blood knight, ‘Nuke Hacker.’

Ha, if it was already going to be a game character, I’d send you a ‘pique request note’.

‘Pique Application Note’ successfully completed the campaign and was a hero who was treated as a savior not only on the continent but also at all levels.

Moreover, he was a powerful character who could never threaten his life at the level of the enemies that appeared in the campaign.

I quietly looked down at the relic left behind by the ‘Pique Request Note’.

Looking at the red-tinged ring, I naturally thought of the original minor wizard who killed ‘Pique Request Note’.

trickster. Given the circumstances, he is the man who I suspect threw me here.

In fact, there was no way to know whether the bastard was a father or an aunt.

We didn’t actually meet each other, we just met each other clinically and guessed their age and gender.

Anyway, it’s a hidden quest, and since the invitation mentions you, it’s definitely related to the current situation… … .

“It’s all land!”

“It’s South Harbor!”

I suddenly raised my head at the shout that came from the boat. Seeing the people getting off their butts, I also got up from my seat.

Before we knew it, the rain and wind had stopped, and the black ink clouds were retreating to one side.

And under the brilliant sun, the beautiful port city in the distance was dyed yellow.

The beginning of Chapter 2 was ‘South Harbor’, the southernmost point of the Kingdom of Milanol.

“and-”

I let out an exclamation, forgetting about the situation I was in.

The Blood Knight’s young, healthy eyes reflected South Harbor clearly despite the distance.

A castle built high with brown bricks, a long pier stretching out toward the sea, large ships anchored here and there, colorful roofs, and statues wearing unique clothes.

Soldiers wearing human and chain armor, livestock that look like I’ve never seen before… … .

Although I had traveled the world for five months right after graduating from college, the scenery of South Harbor was so new that nothing could compare to it.

I was fascinated by the scenery that was incomparable to any other coastal city on Earth, such as Nice with its endless coastline, Amsterdam with its beautiful night view, and Barcelona with its crowded people.

Car payments, monthly rent, boring company dinners, an old team leader and an incompetent manager – I felt a sense of liberation at having escaped the hellish life in Seoul.

And the unprecedented strength boiling through my extremely strong body and blood was what made me gently bring out the sense of adventure that I had hidden in a corner of my heart.

And this happy feeling was shattered in less than five minutes.

nettle liquid.

” huh?” From somewhere, the sound of wind being torn was heard, followed by a horrifying cracking sound.

Without thinking, I turned my eyes towards the source of the sound and was struck by a sight I had never imagined.

There, a man with an arrow stuck in his neck was bleeding.

“Gruk••••♦•

“Well, well… …

Even after the arrow pierced the man’s neck, it seemed to have enough strength left to remain firmly stuck in the railing, and the man was muttering something with his neck bent.

He raised his hand and felt for the blood-soaked arrow shaft, but was unable to pull it out or break it, and only continued making meaningless gestures.

I looked blankly down at the man’s mouth, trying to figure out what he was saying.

“It’s a pirate!”

I stared at the man’s mouth until I bumped my shoulder into a sailor on a rocking boat and fell.

But in the end, I couldn’t hear his will.
