The tenth ghost story -
Herobrine from Minecraft (6)
After a while, we sat together again at our computer seats in our respective PC rooms..
I sent Jinhee the PC room location and my seat location via KakaoTalk in advance, just in case we couldn't see our phones..
Lastly, I once again check the rules that members must follow..
“Taking off the headset is prohibited. You must only speak through the microphone or chat. Please wait for about an hour to go to the bathroom. The only way to succeed is to concentrate completely for the next hour or so..”
“hmm… Well, I get it..”
The members tilt their heads but follow along..
“Okay, Deokhun. Use the cheat key to move all members to the east where I am..”
“okay. Everyone calls out the coordinates and stands there without moving. It's a concept of exchanging other things..”
[Admin（Oh Deok-hoon）: /tp 12550820 140 0]
Soon, Deokhoon enters complex numbers containing the coordinates received from members and the location to which he will move..
Pabat- Pabat-
The grass tiles in front of me must have been swapped with the space they were in, so sand, snow, and sea water came tangled together and poured out of the air..
And the members were teleported to the east where Seona and I were..
“One, two, three, four. Five including me. Okay, we're all here..”
The endless expanse of the southern tip, the horizon of the grasslands.
The members gathered there.
Deokhoon looked around, saw burnt marks on the grass in front of us, and said:.
“Were you eating grilled mushrooms? Pick fruit from the forest.”
“You can eat fruit too.”
All kinds of things are truly possible..
I slowly looked around at the guys and said,.
“Can I lead from now on??”
“as you please. You were originally the manager, right?.”
“thank you.”
Although I am still immature, I am slowly learning the controls and game mechanics..
I regained the command that I had temporarily entrusted to Deokhoon..
“so? What is that method??”
Gyeongwon asks while touching the transparent wall..
I'm also blocked from going..
“Building a house on the border. all together.”
“house?”
Members with puzzled expressions.
“Yes, home. Instead, it is not the first house that Deokhoon built with just a wall and a fence, but a properly decorated two-story brick house..”
“hmm ”
Members who look like they don't know what's going on.
“Instead, the entrance door must be right next to the border of the world map. So, when you open the door from inside the house, it can open right through the transparent wall.” “... That’s how it goes.?”
Gyeongwon asked in a questioning tone and looked at Deokhoon, who knew the game best..
But the guy also shrugged his shoulders and looked like he didn't know..
“Did the manager, who played for the first time today, discover something that even I, who had played before, didn't know? A man who can't let down his guard..”
“Are you sure? that way?”
I waved my hand at the guys who were asking questions, as if asking them to give it a try..
“I think it will definitely work out. So let's start preparing quickly..”
“okay. But aside from the reason, if you build an entrance there, how can you get into the finished house??”
“I have to go in through the window or something. Or build bricks from the inside.”
“Well, then there's no problem……
These are faces full of curiosity..
But explaining any more than this would be poisonous to immersion..
“Let's make it together first. I will provide an explanation after the house is completed..”
“good.”
In the end, Gyeongwon shrugs his shoulders..
“Since it's the manager's job, I'll assume he has his thoughts on it. Let's get started.”
Eventually, we slowly looked around the border and drew up a blueprint..
“As I said before, you can't build a house where you just mark the territory with a fence made of dirt. It must be a house that has been carefully maintained using good materials..”
At my request, Deokhoon searches BJ’s buildings on YouTube and gets an estimate for the house..
“If it's the kind of house the manager wants, it will take some time. Even with five people, we have to bake bricks and transport materials, so it's quite a lot of work. How much time do you think about??”
“ Umm
The real time is now a little past 4 PM..
Still, I have to send the kids home by dinner time..
5If we build a house by o'clock and cross the end of the world, wouldn't we be able to explore for about two hours until evening?.
I thought for a moment and said.
“You can spend about an hour in this house, but it is not an unreasonably spacious house, but rather intimate and sophisticated. There is a fence, a second floor, and some furniture and interior design..”
“Hmm, 5 miljomil in an hour……
Deokhoon, who was looking at various blueprints on the Internet in windowed mode, moved his character and marked several places by driving stakes into the ground..
“You can get from here to there in just an hour. A house just this size would be nice. ”
“good. Let's get ready right away. I guess I'll have to make a bunch of bricks first..”
“Hmm, in the case of bricks……
When I looked at the crafting method in the inventory window with Deokhoon, I found that bricks were an item that had to be made by baking clay..
“They say you have to bake the clay to get it. So where do you get the clay??”
“I need to go to the water.”
“price……
I raised my head and looked around..
The location where we are now is a plain with a huge meadow..
I don't see any water nearby..
“Can't I make it a cheat??”
“No cheating from now on.”
I nail it hard.
“Strictly in the style of the original game
Let's build a house.”
“Hum, I understand..”
As we all gathered together and played 'dedentee' by sitting down and standing up, Deok-hoon and Hayun won as the ones who went out to get the clay..
“I feel like I'm looking for an oasis in the desert..”
“It's not a desert. Look around a little and you'll find it soon..”
“Sheesh. Be sure to be prepared until it arrives..”
Deok-hoon, who had collected various things while traveling alone in the desert earlier, was grinding up ores to make weapons..
He handed the crossbow to Hayun and put an ax on his side..
“Be careful and come back. I promise not to use cheats.”
“I understand.”
Deok-hoon mutters as he leaves, and Hayun quietly follows with a crossbow in hand..
“good. We have a lot of preparations to do until they come back with a lot of clay. Let's hurry.”

Seon-a digs hard with a pickaxe, and Gyeong-won hits a rock nearby..
To build a house, you need a lot of materials, but since there is only grass around here, I am deliberately digging into the ground to obtain various minerals..
“zeroth order, zeroth order.”
“good. This is the cobblestone used to make furnaces..”
What I want is a pretty house decorated with bricks.
Of course, there is no big difference in functionality whether you build it pretty or roughly, but the reason for putting so much effort into it is to get the members to focus more..
“Juna!”
I heard a call and looked down into the pit, and saw Seon-ah jumping down there..
“I can't dig any more here! The mud swamp keeps coming out.”
“great job. Come up, now.”
“Take it out……
I guess I made a hole too deep while digging the rock..
“Gyeongwon, please make some stairs for Seonah to come up..”
“Leave it to me.”
Gyeong-won, who was digging for rocks nearby, collects his wings and jumps down to the pit where Seon-ah is..
Cheolpuk-
“Ugh, mud.”
“be careful.”
It appears that the ground below here is quite humid and is made of mud..
Soon, Gyeongwon piled up the dirt in real time and climbed the stairs..
“Heh, heh.”
Unlike Suna, who still seems unfamiliar with the game, Kyungwon seems to have already adapted, perhaps because he has a basic brain..
In the meantime, I'm working hard on creating blueprints in the game..
“Manager, the pebbles we collected by digging the ground here..”
“good. From now on, let’s make a furnace to bake clay with it..”
Clay that Deokhoon and Hayun will retrieve from the waterside..
Looking at the recipe, it says that if you put the clay in a furnace and bake it, a brick will come out..
“If you put a pebble here and put it together,……
When I opened the inventory and placed the ingredients according to the recipe, the character clicked something, and then boom, a brazier appeared..
It looks like a furnace from a blacksmith shop in a fantasy game..
I light a torch in my hand and it burns brightly..
“Oii- Rich-”
As I was working hard to prepare the house and prepare it, I heard Deokhoon shouting from afar..
A guy who makes something like a cart and carries it full of clay with Hayun..
We threw away our tools and rushed out to meet them..
“zeroth order, zeroth order.”
We all worked together to push the cart and bring it to the house..
moment.

“Hey, I got a call.” Gyeongwon, who was immersed in the game, was startled and reached into his pocket to take out his cell phone..
“Yes, mom. I think it might be a little late. yes… Just hang out with a friend··…
As expected, the guy who answers the phone in a withdrawn state as if the house is strict..
I also opened my phone and checked KakaoTalk, and there was a short reply from Jinhee: ‘ㅇㅇ’..
And at the same time as Kyungwon hung up the phone, I warned the members..
“From now on, can everyone please turn their phones on silent? If it's not important, let's focus on the game. I feel like something is going to happen soon.”
“okay.”
Members turn off their phones without taking their eyes off the monitor..
Elements that interfere with immersion in the game should be excluded as much as possible..
“Whoosh, whoosh.” Back in the game. Deokhoon carries in his hands an armful of brick cubes baked in a brazier..
The members suddenly changed from looking like four-headed characters to completely looking like themselves in real life..
“good. Just put it down here.”
“Hmm!”
Deokhoon throws bricks on the ground with a shout of excitement..
“great job. Let's do it while drinking water..”
“thank you. Phew.”
Deokhoon gulps down game water from a bucket.
Soon, I wiped the sweat that was dripping down my face and sat down against the wall of the house that had just been laid out, as if I wanted to rest for a bit..
“Manager, but... It's that indie game I mentioned before..”
“indie games?”
“uh. You asked me for advice before because you didn’t know where to spend your points..”
“Ah, that.”
About a month ago, when I solved the A-level ghost story and the grudge song and earned a lot of points..
I'm worried about where to use it all, so I'm pretending I have a game to play these days, this guy.
I remember receiving counseling from.
“That's also a redirection of the ghost story system we're currently in, right??”
“that's right. That's what I said back then. I couldn't tell you everything about the situation, so I ignored it..”
“Hmm, after all.”
Deokhoon cooling his sweat and thinking about something.
A cool wind blows from beyond the horizon.
“why? There's something wrong with it?”
“little.”
“What is it?”
“see… From what I remember, I think the manager explained the situation he was facing at the time by applying it to an RPG game. Is my memory correct?……
“huh. It was like that.”
At that time, this guy used words like monster and experience..
“But now that I know the context, I'm a little concerned about the way the manager becomes stronger, so it's hard to call it an RPG..”
“how i become strong?”
“Um, how can I say this… … A guy who quietly rests his chin. “What is important in RPGs is ultimately the growth factor. But even if the manager becomes stronger, all he gets is three special abilities..”
“···Well, that's right.”
“The main character's growth elements are too limited. That bothers me.”
Hmm, now that I think about it, that’s right..
In fact, when I tried to substitute the name ‘Demon King’ for a typical fantasy game, I ended up seeing myself as the hero and protagonist standing at the opposite end..
When I think about it again, there were quite a few parts that didn't fit together..
Actually, let alone the fact that my tendencies are not that heroic..
This is because there is almost nothing I can do to level up or improve my stats..
Even if I say I became stronger by spending points, all I have is lip reading and a strange luck ability..
Can this be seen as the growth story of a hero who went on an adventure to defeat the final boss, the Demon King??
“The limits are too clear to be considered an RPG. Something different... … The sweat has already cooled off, but he is still lost in thought..
“Health, mana, strength, intelligence, agility... There are no such elements, and even the abilities are just strange gimmicks. There is no such thing as a physical attack.……
“hmm.”
It certainly is..
The limit to my own growth is too clear to view it as an RPG..
If you look at the systematic differences between me at the entrance ceremony and me now, it's that I have acquired special abilities lip reading and life planning..
“There are a total of three special ability slots, but two are currently occupied. Other than this, I don't think I've had any systematic growth as an individual..”
“sodesne……
In the distance, Suna is playing poker and baking bricks, sweating in the heat of the oven..
Deokhoon and I glance at the two of us sitting there, but Deokhoon and I don't care and continue exploring..
“There are already two full… In other words, if you gain one more skill, that will be the end of the manager's growth limit.……
“I guess so.”
Even if you gain more abilities, you can only carry it around as it has 3 spaces and changes it to an equipment concept..
Being able to have 3 abilities is the limit to my growth..
There are no items, abilities, achievements or anything that can be applied to an individual..
3 abilities.
That is the limit to which an individual warrior named Lee Jun can become strong..
“Why... Hmm.”
A guy thinking deeply with his eyes on the floor..
He appears to be concentrating and twitching his chin as if he has a lot of things on his mind..
I also felt like I needed to hear the answer, so I quietly waited for Deokhun while the rest of the team members worked hard to build the house..
“···Maybe, manager..”
After a while, Deokhoon tilts his head but slowly opens his mouth as if he has come to his senses..
“I may have completely misunderstood the genre.?”
