the tenth ghost story -
Herobrine from Minecraft (7)
“I misunderstood the genre?”
“That game system. My opinion is that it seems to be a game with a strong simulation-like... or tycoon-like tendency, like the Minecraft we play now..”
simulation.
tycoon.
“tell me in detail.”
“Take a good look, manager..”
Deokhoon spreads both hands and explains various things..
“Although there are elements of growth, there are clear limits to the growth of each individual hero. The only thing you can use the points for is your special abilities..”
“···yes.”
“On the contrary, the club's level has already been raised to 5 by the manager, and it has been confirmed that growth has continued to accumulate since then.?”
“···huh.”
My growth ends with 3 special abilities and 300 points..
From there, rather than becoming stronger even if you gain more abilities, you can only choose different combinations for each situation according to the three spaces..
On the other hand, the club's level constantly increases as you invest, and there is no limit yet..
“So, in the end, Lee Joon is a warrior, but rather than the concept of a hero who does everything alone. Aren’t you a warrior of the concept of ‘leader’?.”
“···hmm. That's what different genres mean..”
Suddenly, I remember a game I played a long time ago called Roller Coaster Tycoon..
In this case, is it Ghost Story Club Tycoon?.
Deokhoon immediately adjusted his posture and began to slowly unpack what he had organized..
“As a result, the game system possessed by the manager is absolutely not in line with the sensibilities of today's generation, then-”
“for a moment.”
I block the explanation.
“What is the sensibility of today's generation??”
““Of course, it’s a cider sensibility.” A guy who punches out his thick fists.
“The hero gets stronger by acting alone and wipes out all the people he doesn't like. That's the trend these days.”
“okay?”
After listening to it, it definitely feels different from something like that..
“The name ‘Demon King’ also feels cheap. It's a word that doesn't appear in fantasy worlds these days..”
“It's not coming out? The devil in fantasy?”
“Ah, of course.”
Deokhoon nods his head resolutely..
Come to think of it, it's conceptually familiar, but it seems like a word I've never heard of in games these days..
“It's like a demon lord, these days he's completely treated like shit. The current trend is to treat an ancient god who destroys three thousand universes with a single sneeze as a fake boss..”
“ha ha ha.”
I naturally laughed.
“How do you kill something like that? Just kidding?”
“『It's real.”
Deokhoon with a serious expression.
Power balance seems to be a chronic problem in the genre..
“Manager's game system. It's completely opposite to the trend of today's generation. Rather, it has a very, very old sensibility mixed in..”
“Well, some time ago?”
“90decade.”
“…Before I was even born.”
I was born in 2003.
“Aside from the simulation and tycoon elements, there is a reason why I think it has such an old-fashioned feel.?”
“of course. First of all, remember the message that first appeared before the manager's eyes on the day of the entrance ceremony..”
“for a moment. I need to float it and listen to the conversation..”
Paat-
『Welcome to Nakseong High School, full of mysteries and secrets. Uncover the school's dark secrets or fight urban legends and ghost stories to earn points and unlock special abilities. Then gather your colleagues and stop the Demon King's resurrection until you graduate. The world is party
It's in God's hands.』
A message I've seen countless times since the entrance ceremony..
Is there still more to explore here?.
“If you look there, doesn't it say to gather your colleagues??”
“huh. why is that?”
“Don't you understand yet? Gathering colleagues is itself an old-fashioned sentiment..”
Deokhun holds weight with his eyes shining.
“As I said before, it's popular these days for the main character to do everything on his own and just wipe it out. From the looks of it, the manager doesn't even know the word 'hijeon porridge'..”
“What does that mean again?.”
“Let's kill her before she becomes a heroine.!”
What is the concept of heroine?.
“It is a good idea for the writer to quickly kill off characters that could hinder the development in order to sweep them all away on his own as the main character. you. It's a row'.”
I was speechless for a moment.
I feel like I have glimpsed a special state of those who have become stagnant and stagnant that ordinary people like me cannot understand..
“The system encourages you to gather colleagues from the beginning... Yet the concept of a hero and a demon king appears? That's a feeling from a really, really long time ago. For example……
Deokhun’s eyes look thoughtful..
“···87A Japanese game called Final Fantasy released in . It's a story about a hero saving the world, and it starts with three colleagues..”
87 year.
It was 32 years ago now..
“That's a bit... It's been so long ago.”
“yes. But most of the games I play with my colleagues are from that generation. It's a very old feeling.”
At that moment, Gyeongwon, who was passing by next to us pulling a cart, snapped out a word..
“Aren't you doing your job??”
“Ah, Gyeongwon Kun. Jotto mate. We're talking about something important..”
“Indeed.”
Gyeongwon passes us by, grumbling..
I also felt like I had rested too long, so I slowly stood up..
“so? I know it's an old-fashioned sentiment, but is there any practical application to it??”
“of course.”
The guy who nods his head like it's obvious.
“How the manager becomes stronger. A way to become stronger by improving people and the surrounding environment, rather than by becoming stronger on your own. What do you think that means??”
“···well?”
“Sealing the Demon King. I don't know what it is, but it's going to require a lot of people..”
right | 99
person!
“Gather members, create clubs, call in helpers... Even the expansion function of the club room, which the manager thought was useless, is in a way a concept of increasing 'territory'. okay?”
UI 99
“The system continues to encourage play in a way that attracts people. Why? In the old sensibility, a warrior never walks alone. ‘Party play’, where you gather colleagues and go together, is the main focus..”
“party… paly……
“With an old-fashioned classic sensibility, he leads a 'guild' called a ghost story club, takes over the 'territory' called a school, fights against 'monsters' called ghost stories and 'evil forces' called teachers, and ultimately prevents the resurrection of the Demon King, watching '4 Happy Endings'. thing. The ‘warrior’ who acts as the focal point is you, Lee Jun, the guild master..”
A conclusion that only Deokhoon can give, encompassing countless game knowledge.
I couldn't help but nod naturally to the thought-provoking opinion..
“thanks.”
“Now let's go to work.”
“okay.”
We slowly headed towards the rest of the group..
A two-story brick house with foundation work already completed and even the framework intact..
Hayun, contrary to her cute appearance, looked at us while crouching down and stacking bricks..
“We had a lot of interesting conversations?”
sonorous voice.
I was sorry and answered in a stuttering voice..
“Yeah, well… It was like that. Sorry for being late. Get some rest. We'll do the rest.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gyeongwon, who was pulling a cart full of ingredients, suddenly stopped next to Deokhoon..
“Have you finally finished chatting?.”
“cucumber. I'll take care of this, so take a break..”
“I'm going to do that even if you don't say anything. ruler.”
Hayun leaned against the wall and drank water, and while Deokhoon and Gyeongwon touched the baton, I headed to Seonah outside the house..
“Juna……
Suna looks back at me with a face blackened by charcoal in front of the fire pit..
“Sorry, Seon-ya. I'm late because I'm talking about something important..”
“Yeah, it's okay……
Sweat beaded on my face, probably because the fire in the oven was hot..
“Phew, it's hot..”
“Now I will do it. Go get some rest.”
“Grain……
Sun-ah wipes her face with her eyes squinted and heads to the nearby shade..
I sat in front of the fire pit, basking in the flames, and thought quietly..
‘If you use the points here on yourself, it won't make much of a difference..’
Even with my current abilities, I don't have much trouble solving one more ghost story..
New special abilities can be obtained by solving the following ghost stories..
But leveling up the members is an element I haven’t used yet..
‘I decided.’
The members' morale was gradually decreasing due to the series of ghost stories..
I didn't know where to use it, so I saved about 200 points, and I decided that once this was over, I would use them for my colleagues who worked hard together..
Bricks were stacked to create a foundation, and trees were cut down from a nearby forest, processed, and then laid as flooring..
“be careful!”
“Tskcha.”
2Although you are building a one-story house, due to the mechanics of the game, all you have to do is stack the tiles..
Although it is considerably easier than actual construction, even this was quite a bit of hard work for us who started from collecting materials from scratch..
In particular, it was very difficult to raise materials to the second floor because of the stairs, so we even built a primitive pulley using wood and rope..
“It's a window. Raise it.”
“Hmm!”
Gyeongwon and I pulled the rope from below, and the tied window went up to the second floor..
“Tskcha.”
Deokhoon accepts the window we raised from the second floor..
Seona is in the process of erecting a window frame for the glass, and Hayun is in the process of installing a railing on the stairs outside..
“Okay, done..”
“Phew.”
Eventually, a small two-story brick house with a staircase leading to the outside was completed, at the end of the world, on the border..
As I requested, the entrance door is attached to the transparent wall that borders the world map, so those of us standing on this side can only see the boring back of the house..
“I finished it, but it's a shame I can't enjoy it in front of you..”
“I know……
Members muttering with a slightly disappointed look.
But I answered by putting my hands on Deokhoon and Gyeongwon’s shoulders..
“Like I said, we're going to go beyond the end of the world. You'll see it soon, front view.”
“hmm……
After saying that, I climbed out the window at the back of the house and entered the living room first..
“Everybody come inside, come on.”
“huh”
“It's cozy.”
“For something that was made in a hurry, it's quite comfortable..”
The interior feels like an old house you only see in foreign movies..
The brazier that used to burn bricks outside was inserted into the living room wall, and it was completed in the exact shape of a fireplace..
“It's a house that looks like something out of a fairy tale about the Three Little Pigs..”
“Yes... a brick house with a fireplace built by the last pig.……
The members who came through the window each looked at me and said something..
Sunah made simple decorations such as bookshelves and picture frames and placed them in the house, so it really looks like someone would live there..
“Hayun, please take a look at that. Let's sit down and rest for a while.”
« huh
Perhaps because this is a plain with open pastures, a flock of sheep passed nearby while a house was being built..
A carpet made from the fur of a sheep at that time..
Hayun took it out from the corner and started laying it in the middle of the living room..
“Huh, thank you.”
“Let's get some rest.”
“Whoa whoa.”
Members sitting near the fireplace and basking in the flames.
After working hard to build a house, he looks tired, but now that he receives the warmth, he falls asleep easily..
“It's been a while since I worked hard and I'm sleepy.”
“I know.”
Afternoon after a long day of labor.
We are sitting around in the living room of a Western-style brick house, basking in the fire..
So take a break for a while.
After a few minutes, with only the crackling sound of the wood fire burning, I slowly opened my mouth..
“Where do you think we are now?”
“huh?”
Members looking at me.
Seon-ah, who was drooling and dozing off, suddenly raises her head..
“That's inside the brick house we built..”
Gyeongwon sits with his knees bent and answers as if it were obvious..
“Where is that brick house??”
“hmm.”
He must have sensed that I wanted to say something, so he raised his head, changed my posture, and crossed my arms..
“At the southern end of the pasture.”
Instead of answering, I nodded..
And I also held out my hands and quietly warmed the flames..
warm.
“Then where is the pasture??”
“well.”
Gyeongwon shrugs his shoulders.
“Since the name of the world map is ‘Lee Jun-2’, can we assume that it is the land there?.”
“Where is that world map??”
“in mycraft.”
“where is that?”
At that moment, Gyeongwon slowly turns around..
An endless green meadow visible beyond the living room window.
“On your computer. On the PC room computer……
He stands up with a blank face and quietly looks around..
“···what? computer?" Deokhoon also turns his head with puzzled eyes..
“···huh?”
Suna blinks and wipes her saliva..
Hayun must have already known because she was just basking in the flames without changing her expression..
“Tskcha.”
I got up from my seat and started walking slowly towards the entrance door..
“Deputy, manager. how did this happen……
Creak- Creak -
Every time I walk, the poorly finished floorboards make a creaking sound. Normally, after construction like this, it is cleaned before people live in it, but since our house was only roughly built, it is full of dust with materials scattered everywhere..
I stood in front of the door, leaving footprints in the dust that had accumulated on the floor..
“deputy, manager?”
Instead of answering, I slowly grabbed the door handle and pushed it..
Squeak-
A wooden door that is pushed open wide
The light coming from outside is dazzling..
“how……
Gyeongwon twitching his eyes.
“It must be blocked by a transparent wall... how……
“Juna······?”
The members slowly followed me and gathered in front of the door..
I nodded quietly.
“Congratulations on coming to the game world.”
66 | 99 Look at your own arms, legs, and body and make a surprised expression..
“Uh, when…?”
“Let's go.”
I raised my chin as if to welcome you..
“beyond the end of the world.”
Dazzling light pouring in from the wide open door.
The members take one step at a time towards the light with blank faces..
I quietly head outside with the guys..
