BJ Grand Mage-Episode 8
8fury. Episode 3. ? (1).
1.
When God Wars first came out, the first to foam at the mouth and react violently were groups that hate game addiction..
They spoke with veins in their necks the moment God Wars appeared, as if they had been waiting for this day to come..
“Are you going to take responsibility if someone dies from game addiction while playing that game?!”
What is unique is that in the case of God Wars, this reaction was not just a backlash from some groups..
Even though safety has already been secured through countless clinical trials and sales and service approvals have been obtained from most countries around the world, people have raised questions about the safety of God Wars and Capsule Gate..
“The following restrictions are added to the use of God Wars:.”
In the end, God Wars had no choice but to impose fairly tight game usage conditions..
First of all, it was impossible to play the game for more than 5 hours at a time..
5When using time, you had to log out and then reconnect..
It was also impossible to play the game for more than 14 hours a day..
Even if something goes wrong with your physical condition during this process, you will be shut down immediately..
The physical condition referred to here was diverse..
It was natural for health problems to arise, such as decreased blood sugar levels in the body..
Therefore, before a really important raid or battle, professional players would prepare their bodies by eating food and getting health checkups, just like a martial arts athlete preparing..
‘Damn, I want to check that out.······’
It goes without saying, but there was no way for Jeong Hyeon-woo, who only used the capsule room, to exceed the time allotted..
‘The quest logo appears above the dog's head. This is definitely not normal..’
It's been 5 years since starting God Wars, and even Jeong Hyun-woo had no immediate way to answer the questions he had about the situation he was seeing for the first time..
‘What if I log in tomorrow and it disappears??’
Moreover, isn’t God Wars’ quest eternal??
Someone else might pick it up while Jeong Hyeon-woo is sleeping..
Above all, it was the territory of the Explorers' Guild, which had a monopoly on quests..
In many ways, Jeong Hyun-woo's expression was bound to be bad..
“Brother, here's some candy. Thanks for your efforts. You've used up all your time today. huh?”
As soon as he came out, Lee Hyuk-joo, who handed him candy, looked at Jeong Hyeon-woo's crumpled expression and said,.
“Brother, is there a problem? His expression looks like he chewed shit?”
In response to that question, Jeong Hyeon-woo accepted the candy and said,.
“If you feel good about raising an alt, that's strange..”
“No, why are you suddenly raising an alt character??”
Lee Hyuk-joo's reaction became more intense..
I knew that Hyunwoo Jeong was creating new characters, but I never thought he would be raising new characters.?
“Why on earth did you leave me alone??”
It's bound to be special for a professional player like Jeong Hyun-woo to develop a new character..
“You were banned from using it.?”
Instead of answering the question that followed, Hyunwoo Jeong made a more serious expression on his face..
Lee Hyuk-ju was shocked by that fact..
“Oh my god. It's a real stop.?”
“Hey, shut up. Don't go somewhere and say.”
“tongue, brother!”
“Quiet. Because I'm feeling upset.”
Jung Hyeon-woo, who was speaking, immediately came out of the capsule and started putting on his clothes..
In Jeong Hyeon-woo's mind, calculations were being made and scenarios were being written quickly..
‘I have to hide the abilities I have gained as much as possible and make my situation as bad as possible..’
One of the few things Jeong Hyeon-woo realized in his life was not to reveal his good fortune to others..
It's literally.
‘When people around me find out that I have this ability, they rush to me..’
The world that Jeong Hyeon-woo has lived in has always been a stage full of envy and jealousy..
If there is a popular person or a lucky person, it is a stage full of people who are anxious to cling to them and eat them or knock them to the floor..
On that stage, Jeong Hyun-woo had no intention of tearing off the flesh like it was a delicious grilled fish..
‘Until we get on a certain track, we have to hold on quietly..’
He planned to be self-sufficient until he had a shell so strong that he couldn't dare to bite into its flesh..
“I'll be back tomorrow, so make a place for me.”
That's why Jeong Hyeon-woo turned his back after saying that to Lee Hyuk-joo with an expression filled with anger more than anyone else's..
And then he left the capsule room with his shoulders drooping, feeling more sad than anyone else..
Lee Hyuk-ju sighed briefly when he saw that..
“Wow, Hyunwoo is screwed. It's really pitiful, pitiful. From now on, I only have to walk down a path of fireworks..”
It was the moment when the acting really worked..
2.
“uncle!”
Jeong Hyun-woo opened his crumpled expression and spoke at the bright smile of his nephew, who was visible the moment the door opened..
“Yes, uncle is here. How have you been?”
“huh.”
“What did you do in kindergarten today??”
“I drew a picture!”
“okay? who?”
“dad and uncle!”
The brief conversation that followed immediately brightened up the small space of less than 10 pyeong..
“okay? look where.”
“huh!”
Next, Jeong Hye-rin showed Jeong Hyeon-woo a picture she had drawn in kindergarten..
A picture drawn with a tablet pen was visible on the thin tablet PC..
“Hey, our Hyerin is good at drawing too..”
Of course the praise follows.
However, Jeong Hyeon-woo’s eyes were slightly shaken as he gave that compliment..
‘You draw really well.’
The reason for the shaking is that Hyerin's drawings are so outstanding that it's hard to think of them as those of a 7-year-old..
‘I draw really well.’
And the older brother in the picture is sitting in a wheelchair..
A bitter smile filled with bitterness that touched his heart even more because he drew it so well. Jeong Hyeon-woo forced himself to swallow that bitter smile..
“Hyerin will grow up to be a great artist. amazing.”
I forced myself to swallow and praised him again..
“no.”
“huh?”
However, the nephew rejected Jeong Hyeon-woo’s praise..
“Hyerin will become a player when she grows up. So she'll make her uncle and her dad rich.”
“what?”
“Hyerin will be the player!”
Jeong Hyeon-woo was speechless for a moment at the answer that came after the rejection..
“I'm here?”
The person who saved him was none other than his older brother, Jeong Tae-woo..
“uh.”
“Please reset your biometric code quickly. So you can come without ringing the doorbell..”
While Jeong Tae-woo was talking, Jeong Hyun-woo stroked Hye-rin's head and handed her a tablet PC. Hye-rin took it back and ran into the living room with a smile..
“Hyerin is good at drawing. Is it because she looks like your sister-in-law? I need to study art..”
“That would be nice too.”
The older brother who was speaking shook his head..
“I want to be a player.”
Jung Hyun-woo’s expression hardened at the words that followed..
I can't help but smile when I see my daughter who is good at drawing..
That was the situation that Brother Jeong Hyeon-woo was in now..
It wasn't just about money.
“It's a time when everyone in the world is waiting in line for God Wars..”
God Wars.
Another era had come to the world and was eating up the world surprisingly quickly..
Among those things was a job..
Various occupations began to decline due to the advent of God Wars..
Among other things, the decline of the arts and physical education field was so devastating that it was hard to believe..
I can't make art any more without God Wars..
It was a time when the best painters had to paint in God Wars and singers had to sing in God Wars to survive..
“He never created God Wars for a world like this..”
Jeong Tae-woo briefly reminisces about that era and sighs in a low voice..
“who?”
That sound, which was no different from talking to oneself, did not properly reach Jeong Hyeon-woo's ears, and Jeong Hyeon-woo expressed doubt..
“It is nothing.”
Jeong Tae-woo vaguely responded to that question..
Jeong Hyeon-woo spoke to him..
“Rather, bro, I'm trying to sell some in-game information, but I can only sell you one broker account.?”
My brother tilted his head at the sudden request..
“Why a broker account??”
broker account.
Simply put, it was an account that could not be traced and automatically laundered cash..
“I got some information and I'm trying to sell it..”
It was often used when making transactions that could cause problems in many ways..
“I'm not doing anything bad?”
Naturally, the older brother asked a worried question, and in response to that question, Jeong Hyeon-woo smiled and said,.
“If I told my brother here that it was to help the underprivileged neighbors who are marginalized and persecuted by unjust power, he would believe it.?”
In response to that question, Jeong Tae-woo did not respond in any way..
“Don't be too hard on me.”
I'm just giving sad advice.
Jeong Hyeon-woo frowned at that advice and said,.
“I have no intention of pushing myself too hard because of my brother..”
With those words, Jeong Hyeon-woo's gaze turned to his nephew, who was drawing a new picture in the living room..
“It's all for our cute Hyerin..”
Only then did a faint smile appear on his brother's lips, and Jeong Hyunwoo also smiled..
“I'll make it right away.”
Soon, my older brother pulled the wheelchair and approached the nearby laptop..
Looking at that scene, Jeong Hyeon-woo felt sad..
‘I'll somehow change this whole damn house.’
For my brother and my nephew.
‘Yeah, this is a God-given opportunity.’
Jeong Hyun-woo, who had that determination, was thankful to God at this moment..
And then I made a promise.
‘Then you have to use it properly so that God won’t regret it..’
I will use this opportunity perfectly so that God will never regret it..
The day passed with that promise..
3.
“Ah, I can't do it. Your damn character has been suspended! So don't contact me again!”
A young man with a dazed appearance approached Jeong Hyeon-woo, who ended the call with an angry shout..
“brother.”
Lee Hyuk-joo, at his call, Jeong Hyeon-woo wrinkled his eyebrows and shouted nervously..
“why?”
“There is a capsule space..”
Only then did Jeong Hyeon-woo relax his expression..
Lee Hyuk-ju carefully asked him a question..
“Bro, it's really stopped.?”
Jeong Hyeon-woo frowned at that question..
That was it..
Without even answering, I glared at Lee Hyuk-ju as if he were going to kill me..
‘also.’
I pretended to be so angry.
‘I don't believe it once or twice.’
That's what humans are like..
Even if the other person says something, it is extremely rare for someone to believe it..
The same was true in this case of Jeong Hyeon-woo..
5The character he had developed for years and was his lifeline was put on hold.?
So I discard that character and make a new character.?
It's sad..
However, conversely, doubts may arise.
I wonder if there might be another plan..
Of course, there was no possibility that the question would immediately cause an accident..
‘There should be no room for doubt.’
The problem was as time passed.
‘If you keep playing the game like this, it's bound to pop out somehow..’
The abilities that Jeong Hyun-woo has now are enormous, as far as what has been confirmed so far..
In addition, Jeong Hyeon-woo had no intention of hiding these abilities and living like a petty citizen..
Of course, I had no intention of revealing my identity openly..
I was thinking of wearing a mask and hiding my face..
‘Even if I hide my identity, I shouldn't be suspected of being me..’
In order not to become a suspect at that time, Jeong Hyeon-woo was now laying down groundwork for that purpose..
In some ways, it's not even funny.
‘These little sketches are important..’
In other words, it was proof that Jeong Hyun-woo was surprisingly meticulous in terms of his abilities..
‘Same goes for quests..’
The same was true for the question mark above the dying dog’s head..
‘It might be a trivial quest..’
Jeong Hyeon-woo didn't have high expectations for it..
“Brother, the preparations are done, so you can enter the capsule..”
At that time, Lee Hyuk-ju spoke, and his words made Jeong Hyun-woo think..
‘Okay, since when did I get lucky? At best, it will be a rare level quest. There's no way my topic includes legendary level quests.?’
With that cold look in my eyes and a sneer at myself, I logged on to God Wars..
4.
The biggest boom due to the advent of God Wars was the capsule rental service provider, also known as capsule room..
The reason for the popularity of capsule rooms is that even those who can easily spend a million won to create a character find it burdensome to purchase a personal gate capsule..
Capsule rooms have become a part of the world to the extent that the expression “infection” is more appropriate than that expression..
From the perspective of ordinary people, such a part-time job in a capsule room was very easy..
“Capsule room part-time job, you don't just have to put people in the capsule when they come and then clean up after them.?”
“The person in the capsule doesn't do anything, so there's no fighting, and it's a completely crappy part-time job.?”
On the outside, you might think so..
But surprisingly, part-time work in a capsule room was difficult..
The reason was simple.
“Fuck! This fucking trash game!”
The game God Wars is not as easy as people think..
“Damn, what kind of bullshit is it that I pay my own money to play a game and can't play it for 80 hours?!”
However, the moment you get a game over, you cannot use the game for 80 hours..
To put it simply, there were frequent cases where people who had just accessed the game ended up sucking their fingers for 80 hours in less than 10 minutes..
“Fuck really!”
And most of those who fall into such cases are unable to accept the momentary change in the situation and react violently with abusive language..
The handling after that was, of course, the responsibility of the part-time worker..
“Cow, sir! You can't kick the machine.!”
Lee Hyuk-ju, that was why he hurriedly rushed at the customer who was kicking the gate capsule that his salary could not buy..
However, there was no way the customer, who had just lost the game over for reasons that were unreasonable by his standards, would be able to calm down his excitement easily..
“what? hey! Do you fucking look at me like shit too? You can ask me something like this!”
bang!
He reacted rather violently to Lee Hyuk-joo's words and hit the gate capsule once with his foot..
Lee Hyuk-ju gritted his teeth at the sight..
‘How much does that cost?!’
It was that moment.
beep!
Another gate capsule made a noise and its thick door gradually began to open..
The opening was earlier than scheduled, and when Lee Hyuk-ju saw it, he thought it was a mistake..
‘It's double!’
To make matters worse, the moment the word double passed through Lee Hyuk-ju's head instead of that word, a sound came out from inside the capsule..
“fuck!”
A very strong curse came out, and Lee Hyuk-joo's complexion began to harden..
At that moment, the man who came out of the capsule room went straight to the bathroom without taking off the equipment he was wearing..
And the man heading to the bathroom stood in front of the sink and made a noise without realizing it..
“Wow, fuck.”
The man who said those words looked at himself in the mirror..
Then, with surprised eyes, he looked at himself in the mirror and looked at Jeong Hyeon-woo..
‘Legendary quest, is this real??’
