The Illegitimate Son of a Conglomerate in the Game Is a Genius Marksman - Chapter 59
Inconvenient companion (2)
However, it was Siyoon who began to measure his words.
“So you mean, I’m not the ‘first’ player?”
“As expected, I think it’s because I have a good brain, so I understand quickly.”
Cigarette smoke overlaps his light sigh.
“There were people like me who lived as Siyoon Choi in this world before you did, and after all of them got a game over… it’s your turn.”
In short, according to his words, this world has been reset several times.
In terms of game, it would be the same as being thrown back to the main screen due to a game over.
And each time, another ‘player’ continues to play as Choi Si-yoon from the beginning.
If it were a game, there wouldn’t be a game like this.
He glanced at Siyun and opened his mouth.
The tip of the tobacco she was holding glows red as she breathes deeply into her lungs.
Then he let out a sad feeling.
“Sir, isn’t it f*cking empty? here.”
Those red eyes were staring at the empty street.
It was as if he was missing him, or he felt sorry for him.
This place is believed to be the fragments of a destroyed world.
Siyoon’s eyes suddenly sank.
According to him, this place has become a sound that is left over before the world is reset.
Suddenly, an overriding target pops up in a corner of his field of vision.
[Be sure to survive.]
Seeing that, Siyoon asked.
“The game was over, does that mean that I failed to achieve my top priority goal?”
He turned his gaze to look at Siyoon, then shrugged his shoulders and replied.
“What, is that so?”
“…”
“I thought I was doing pretty well until halfway through.”
‘Choi Si-yoon’ brushed back her white bangs and let out a laugh.
“It must have been lacking. After being disgracefully eliminated from the succession race, well, you don’t have to tell me what’s next, you know?”
“Right.”
A strong wind passes between them.
Behind Si-yoon, he muttered as he watched the thunder gradually approaching.
“Well, anyway, don’t be too resentful. I didn’t fight because I wanted to fight with you.”
There was a lot of remorse on that face.
“I’m a body that’s as good as mortgaged by things called gates, so I have no choice but to put them down.”
Then he smiled and said.
“Now then, do you have any questions for me? It’s rare to have a chance to ask someone with experience.”
Siyoon asked.
“You said there were several players in front of me.”
“ok.”
“So, is this a game over and over again until someone succeeds?”
“no.”
he shook his head.
“There’s no way the arcade’s coins are infinite.”
The red eyes looked at Siyoon meaningfully.
“You are the last.”
“…”
There, Siyoon closed her eyes and pondered over the meaning.
“is it.”
He was not surprised by the fact that if he did not survive, the world would eventually come to an end sooner or later.
For some reason, I had the feeling that it would be so.
He recalled the trailer video of the expansion pack, in which only the Horse Musketeer appeared.
If you think about it now, it meant that there was only one main character in the expansion pack, unlike the existing hero biography that had six main characters.
“By the way.”
Siyoon glanced at him and asked.
“How the hell do you know all that? In the first place, how can a dead man talk to me?”
If you think about it, the situation itself, where he is talking to himself like this, who had failed in the first place, was strange.
That’s because the first goal was to survive.
he failed it
Even so, it’s not enough to clearly exist in this place right now, to the point where it seems to be deeply involved in the secret of the Gate.
There were only a couple of suspicious things.
There, ‘Choi Si-yoon’ laughed.
“Does it matter now? I don’t think there’s much time left to waste on such pointless talk.”
As if to prove his words, the wall of fog was much closer than before.
“Well, I’m glad though.”
As he gradually started to get stronger, he approached Siyoon.
“You seem to be quite different from me and the deceased figures before me.”
‘Choi Si-yoon’ continued as if he was having fun.
“From the much faster head rotation to the innate sense.”
Even if there was a restriction to use only the same characteristics as a pistol, it was the same.
“Honestly, I didn’t expect that I’d be able to hit it like this.”
He says, throwing the K36 automatic pistol in his hand to the ground.
In a word, he admitted that he could not beat Siyoon with the same weapon and under the same conditions.
“Perhaps a real genius is what a guy like you is talking about.”
Siyoon turned his head toward him as if he was passing by.
“Perhaps… you really may end up with a different ending than we did.”
At that moment, a terrifying scream is heard beyond the wall of fog that has already come quite close.
“Can you hear this?”
Eventually, beyond the wall of fog, a shadow so gigantic began to appear.
“It seems that time is running out.”
Whoops-! and something pierces the fog and lets out a hot exhalation.
And what that identity was, both Siyoon and ‘Choi Siyoon’ in front of him knew.
A monster of the highest rank, and one who is called a walking calamity.
“Aphetitus…”
Siyoon’s face hardened at the appearance of a monster that could only be seen in the final phase.
After all, he was such a monster that only six heroes could take it down.
Kwaaang-! And now a thunderstorm flashes right in front of you.
A storm that rages as if it wants to recreate the end of the world.
Seeing that, ‘Choi Si-yoon’ muttered.
“Still, I won the game with a hard time, so there should be a reward for it, right?”
“It wasn’t particularly hard to win.”
“Have you ever heard of being unlucky somewhere?”
“It’s done.”
Siyoon said cynically.
“Anyway, the clue to why you failed is the reward, right? Give it to me quickly.”
“Wow, why are there so many unattractive guys?”
However, he soon smiled and shook his head in response.
“Well, okay. From now on, I will give you the best hints I can tell you. listen carefully.”
“·······.”
In his hand was an automatic rifle he had never seen before.
With the golden gun barrel on his shoulder, he turned his back and said.
“Beware of the ‘heroes’.”
“■■■■■■■······!!”
You can feel the space shaking with the resounding screams.
However, as if it was okay, ‘Choi Si-yoon’ was just taking a light step towards Apetitus.
“Savior, Assassin, Magician, Saint, Archmage, Archer…”
Then he turned his head and glanced back at Siyoon.
“There is a fake among those six.”
“…!”
‘Choi Si-yoon’, who made a huge statement, looked forward and said.
“And service from now on.”
In an instant, a tremendous amount of magical energy begins to swirl around him.
“Kuk!”
Seeing that vast energy, Siyoon took a step back without even realizing it.
When he raised his head, hundreds of thousands of magic circles unfolded behind ‘Choi Si-yoon’.
He raised his hand over the edge of his coat, which fluttered violently in the strong wind and rain.
Then, the spells resonated all at once and began to take their own forms.
It was a machine gun, it was a Gatling gun, it was a cannon, it was a missile.
Siyoon’s eyes widened at the sight of thousands of firearms transforming with momentum that would fill the sky.
‘Spatial properties…!’
He hadn’t been mistaken for his sudden disappearance earlier.
‘Choi Si-yoon’ said to him.
“Look carefully. This is where you will soon reach.”
At one gesture of his hand, thousands of firearms lined up at Apettitus.
“This is a stage you must overcome.”
“under···!”
Seeing that amazing sight, Siyoon unconsciously felt the thrill rise.
‘indeed!’
It’s a spatial attribute, isn’t this an attribute that no hero has had so far.
Hearing that that possibility was latent within him, Siyoon felt his heart pounding.
“Then go well. Unlike me… I hope you do well.”
At that moment, a deafening gunfire rips through the space as soon as your eyes turn white.
‘Choi Si-yoon’ drew the shape of his mouth toward him.
‘Beware of followers…’
“…!”
A tremendous shock wave that soon blows the whole body away, and his figure quickly moves away.
Thrown to the ground in the blink of an eye, when he came to his senses, the village he had just been in had already disappeared.
As if making fun of him, Siyoon realized that he had a heavy machine gun on his back.
When he reached the pistol’s magazine, it was intact, as if it had been smashed at some point.
as if he had been dreaming
But Siyoon knew.
That it was never a dream.
He got up from his seat and recalled the scene from earlier.
‘What were your last words?’
Beware your followers.
He probably wanted to say that.
‘I wasn’t talking about spatial properties…’
The words didn’t match, and neither he nor Siyun were deceased people after all.
As long as it was revealed that he had a hidden attribute of space, there was no way he didn’t know that Siyoon had something to say.
‘busan.’
In order to awaken the dormant attributes and learn the magic of the rare attribute, he had to find a magic book suitable for it.
If he’s right, the clue should be right where the Sanghyeon group is ruling.
If so, the last word… The follower was most likely a hint related to why he failed.
‘Beware of the heroes.’
There, he unknowingly fell asleep.
So far, no matter which of the 6 heroes you play with, this kind of development has never existed.
All the other heroes have different beginnings, but in the end, they have grown into personalities worthy of heroes and have never changed as much as helping the player.
‘…but isn’t that the case this time?’
Because it’s an expansion pack?
The faces of the heroes he has met so far pass through his mind.
Savior, Iarin.
Assassin Park Hyun-soo.
Ma Gung-soo, Kang Hee-jin.
And the heroes I hadn’t met yet were the magic warrior Gillian, the saintess Lucy, and the archmage Shin Jia.
‘There are fakes among them.’
What does fake mean in the first place?
‘If fake means betrayal.’
The previous ‘Choi Si-yoon’ was not wary of anything just because he was a hero like Si-yoon had been until now…
‘Does it mean that he was hit in the back of the head at the decisive moment?’
Nothing was certain.
However, if you are a follower, there were many things within the heroic biography.
Those who follow the holy water and the holy woman who purify the polluted land.
Those who fanatically follow transhumanism as salvation.
Even those who follow the demons and monsters of the gate.
‘Followers of giant corporations would be followers if they were followers.’
In that case, the corporate state cannot narrow the scope, so it will be excluded.
‘I’m sure it’s unlikely that it’s Arin.’
If she were a fake, she would have enough acting skills to win the Best Actress Award three times.
‘So it’s about Lucy.’
Right now, the hero that seemed most likely was the saintess, Lucy.
Thanks to her mixed-race Italian mother, she was quite popular for her exotic beauty.
At the same time, he was also the hero most closely related to the keyword follower.
‘Anyway, I have to think about it now.’
The story that this world has been reset several times, the story that he has the last chance of this world, and even the fake hero.
Too much happened in one moment, but whatever it was, there was too little information right now.
It would be better to focus on the task at hand as you gather information step by step.
Above all, it was also because there was no countermeasure other than developing overwhelming power.
‘No matter who the opponent is, it’s enough if you obtain power and status that are inaccessible.’
It was natural to swallow Hanam Management Construction as soon as possible and gain an advantage in the succession competition.
‘Spatial properties, and Busan.’
It was then that he turned his head to the surroundings after chewing on those two keywords again.
Kwaaang-! With a roaring sound, the space was torn apart, and a large man was thrown out in front of him.
“…!”
He slipped, scratching the floor with his sword, and groaned loudly.
And that was a person Siyun also knew.
Cheoljin Kim.
He looked like he had gone through a fairly fierce battle, and he lowered his head and took a deep breath.
‘Did the other side survive?’
As if he was tired, he leaned his forehead on my sword, and soon began to laugh.
“Heh, heh… hehehe.”
“…Kim Cheol-jin?”
“hehehe, hahahaha! Turn it off, heh, ha ha ha ha!”
Kim Chul-jin, who had been laughing for a long time, muttered while sweeping his mouth.
“It’s fun…”
His eyes shone blue.
Seeing that, Siyoon instinctively sensed it.
Kim Cheol-jin also saw something beyond that, something he shouldn’t have seen.
