the tenth ghost story -
Herobrine from Minecraft (16)
“excuse me! There it is!”
We are flying in the dawn sky on a glider.
There were duplicate houses scattered here and there, but when looking down from a high place, it was easy to find the boundaries of the world compared to the original terrain..
“The forest you see over there. Isn’t this the place where the manager and Suna wandered around after being teleported??”
“I think the lake in the distance is where In Ha-yoon and I went to get clay.……
“Then the house standing over there must be the house we originally built. let's land!”
Soon we all tilted the glider down, landing softly on the now dried mud..
“It's all dried up. are you okay.”
brown mud covering the ground.
green grass rising above it.
the unfolding blue sky.
And then there stands the two-story red brick house from a fairy tale..
A meadow bathed in the cold light of dawn.
We sigh for a moment on the lawn where brown, green, blue, red, and other primary colors come together..
“Whoa whoa……
“Arrived… It's all over.”
It feels like returning home after a retreat..
Unlike the excited mood at the beginning of the trip, I felt tired, trudging off the bus and walking with my friends in silence..
We stopped in front of the wooden door and looked at each other, with nothing more to say..
We looked at each other blankly and suddenly burst into laughter..
“Everyone worked hard.”
“Jun, you too……
“Let's go in.”
huh ”
I quietly looked at the wooden door of the entrance built across the border of the world..
The wooden door torn off its hinges, Seon-ah lying down with an arrow stuck in her forehead, and the replicas that I was so tired of clinging to are no longer here..
It's just a brick house standing peacefully, just as it was first built..
I feel like I've returned to my original place after wandering around in an unfamiliar place..
“Let's go back.”
I walked slowly and pulled the doorknob of the wooden door..
Squeak-
I take a step towards the front door..
Jeopuk.
“···end.”
With this one step, I have finally entered the world map from the end of the world..
“Come on in, everyone..”
“Hmm . ”
Suna steps on the threshold with a tired expression..
Gyeongwon raises his leg too high and crosses it as if there is an invisible threshold..
Deokhoon comes in wiping the sweat from his forehead..
And finally, Hayun enters with her hands clasped behind her back..
“Phew… “Let’s sit down for a bit.” Soon we were sitting down on the living room carpet, facing the cold fireplace..
Soon a speech bubble appeared above Deokhoon’s head..
[Admin（Oh Deok-hoon）: Is it all over??]
“Yeah, it's all done. Just open the menu and close the connection..”
[Admin（Oh Deok-hoon）：ㅇㅇ] Soon Deok-hoon’s body glowed blue..
Paat-
It disappeared somewhere before our eyes, leaving behind only a few waves of energy..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Next, my shining body.
I looked at the members.
“I'll go first, see you later..”
Suna smiles.
Gyeongwon and Hayun also greet each other with a glance..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Paat-
“Umm... um ”
Feels like I had a very deep sleep.
My head is dizzy from sleep, I am in a complete coma..
I feel uncomfortable leaning my shoulder against the seat in the PC room, and my neck feels stiff..
When I open my eyes, I see the monitor screen shining white..
‘… What time is it?.’
The clock displayed in the corner of the desktop shows that it is a little past 6 p.m..
Suddenly, I felt eyes on me and turned my head to see two elementary school boys staring at me blankly..
at that moment.
[The special ability ‘Life Planning’ is activated..]
[Bow your head right now.]
I'm already so sleepy that I'm about to fall off
is my head.
Let's just lower our faces.
“Oni-chan Hayaku Okinaito Jikoku Shichanuyou clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Deokhoon, who was lying on the marble floor of the PC room, jumped up, started struggling, and waved his arms..
Powok-
A thick fist flies past my hair as I bow my head and lands on the chair seat..
The elementary school students were so shocked that they ran away..
“Heo, heo, heo… This place… … ?” Deok-hoon must have come to his senses only then, looking around with a puzzled expression..
“It's a familiar ceiling.……
“ Did you wake up?.”
Jinhee, who was standing next to Hayoon and terminating the character connection, glanced at her and said something indifferently..
Hayun's cheek, which is closing her eyes like a princess, is seen changing shape as it is pressed by Jinhee's elbow as she roughly operates the mouse..
“···Juna.”
Just then, Suna slowly opens her eyes next to me..
“Seonya.”
“great job.”
Suna smiles softly.
And the message that comes to mind all at once

‘···There is no mention of defeating Herobrine either..’
Well, that person's consciousness has long since melted away in the game..
It will be impossible to eradicate it unless you delete every file in the world..
“Ugh... I feel sore.......
As we looked at the floating messages, everyone seemed to have come to their senses and started stretching..
“Ugh... Uhhhh.”
“Come on, let's wake up. ruler.”
He helps everyone who is loosening their joints with the sound of their bones cracking and stands up..
After a while, we came out of the PC room building and stood together in front of the main gate..
Gyeongwon raised his shoulders and made a strange noise..
“Uuuuuu… My whole body is sore, manager..”
“Don’t look for me until you stretch yourself.”
If you open your mouth, you're the manager..
I heard the words ‘manager’ and ‘juna’ so many times today that my ears are almost covered in scabs..
“By the way, Jinhee wasn't the one who entered the cheat in the first place.?”
“uh. “It was someone I didn’t know.” Jinhee answers, leaning against the wall and exhaling cigarette smoke..
It looks so natural that no one points it out..
“It's a woman, it's a man?”
“···man.”
The girl who flicks out the cigarette ash with her fingertip.
“I didn't see it in detail. The dark circles were very dark..”
“…Hmm ”
“Who is it?……?”
I thought about it carefully, but I couldn't figure out anything..
“Anyway, everyone worked hard today. You'll be tired, so let's do it later and go home..”
“okay……
Members nodding their heads with tired expressions.
“ adjustment?”
Jinhee asked, smoking a cigarette..
“uh. Ghost story point. I decided to use the one I got this time for you guys..”
“···okay?”
“600I have some points, so I think I can level up once per person, or distribute about 1 million won..”
“Oh, 1 million won.”
Jinhee grins with her hands in her pockets..
I nodded..
“okay… It's okay to get it in money or level. Let's decide that on our own over the weekend, and talk about it again at school on Monday. Dismissed here today.”
“ dissolution······
Sunah agreed, rubbing her sleepy eyes..
Vroom - Boowooung-
“Men walk on their own.”
“Ahaha… Jun, I’m sorry! to school
stand up!”
“Going!”
“Wow!……
Jinhee's motorcycle takes off with a harsh exhaust noise, and Seonah and Hayun, who are holding her waist from behind, close their eyes tightly..
And the men who were left looking as shabby as duck eggs from the Nakdong River.
“I live in the apartment right in front, so I just have to walk. you guys?”
When I look at Deok-hoon and Gyeong-won and ask, they look at me and think, “Hmm.”.
“well. Well, it's not too late, so I have to take the bus..”
“Okay, I'll take you a taxi. let's go.”
“Arigato.”
Gyeongwon took out his wallet and went out to the main street to catch a taxi, and I also said hello to the guys and went back home..
‘Oops, babamba.’
I quickly turned in front of the glass door of my apartment and headed toward the convenience store..
‘···hmm. It's '2+1'. Then I should buy three and share them with my parents..’
I picked up three barbambas and headed to the checkout, where the weekend part-time worker scanned the barcode with an indifferent expression..
“2,000It's a circle. do you need an envelope?”
“No, it's okay..”
“goodbye.”
After picking up three pieces of ice cream, I entered the apartment and took the elevator..
As I stood in front of the front door, I heard the familiar sound of the TV. I opened the door and entered, and sure enough,.
I can see the back of my father, who is still lying on the sofa in the living room..
“Are you here?.”
“Yes, haha... I bought babamba. Three to eat together.”
“Well done. Make the change yourself.”
“Dad, the best.”
Just then, my mother, who was preparing food in the kitchen, sticks her head out..
“Is your son here? I don't answer the phone.”
“I was wearing a headset... sorry.”
“Still, it came this quickly. Since it was the weekend after exams, I was going to watch it even if I stayed up all night..”
“haha… I'm just tired……
“Let's eat. Come quickly.”
I ran to the table excitedly, but there was nothing..
“Set it up with a rice bowl. Your dad must have glued it to the couch, your butt won't fall off.”
Then, my father's voice muttered in the living room far away..
“I've seen everything, too.……
“Just kidding, hoho. Come and eat.”
“Tskcha.”
With those words, my father finally stands up and comes this way..
He looked at the empty table and tilted his head..
“Where's the food??”
“Set the plate.”
“I was deceived.”
My father, who said that, already had a babamba in his mouth..
“No, you! What if I eat ice cream before eating?!”
“Am I a kid? For adults, it doesn't matter what order they eat..”
“Jun watches and learns.!”
When my mother pointed out something, I put down my plate and smiled awkwardly..
Does my mom still think I’m an elementary school student?.
“How old is Jun? He says he learns from watching things like that. That’s right, Jun.~?”
My father eats all the ice cream and annoys my mother with only the stick in his mouth..
I laughed harder than usual.
Maybe it's because I came from an extremely stressful situation where life and death were at stake, but seeing these ordinary parents somehow makes me feel happy..
“Well, take care of it. I don't know.”
“Are you upset? huh? Your mom is upset, Jun..”
“Hahaha.”

Cheolkeong-
The elevator leading from the ground makes a low bass sound and comes down to the basement where I am..
I am waiting with my arms crossed for the crew coming down the elevator..
Cheolkeong.
Ralalak-
The elevator soon arrived in the basement..
The double and triple iron cage is pushed open, and Jinhee and the crew get off carrying a black box..
“We got it safely, Captain..”
“thank you.”
Eventually, I raised my hand and stopped the members who were trying to move along the passageway together..
“From here, only the search team leader and I will go. Because it's a very dangerous item..”
“yes All right!”
The crew salutes and moves to the equipment room to take off their protective gear..
“let's go.”
“huh.”
We soon arrived at the laboratory by turning the passage..
It is an engineering space where various wires and wiring are tangled together..
Kyungwon, who was tapping on the keyboard and setting things up with some researchers, turns to us and says hello..
“That's it.”
“uh.”
Jinhee immediately placed the black box she had brought in next to her, unlocked the lock, and opened the lid..
Inside the box was the main body of the computer..
“To be exact, it's in the hard disk of this machine..”
“okay. who will go in?”
“i am going.”
I calmly went to the computer and sat down..
“okay. I'll connect you soon.”
Next, he connected the airlifted main body to the monitor, turned it on, and saw Gyeongwon searching for something..
“I found it.”
Paat-
Soon the monitor in front of me was playing the earliest version of Mike Raft's blockbuster hit from Clover Software.
all.
[My Craft - Pre alpha]
(WARNING WORK IN PROGRESS-DOES NOT
REPRESENT THE FINAL LOOK OF THE GAME.)
At some point, when the Demon King was resurrected and the world was in chaos, Clover Corporation activated the virus code that it had hidden in all the electronic products it produced..
Thanks to this, everything from home appliances to cars, software, and even toys made by the Clover company stopped working regardless of the type, rapidly accelerating the destruction of the world..
My Craft also deleted itself and disappeared from the world..
We had no choice but to search through the offices of the developers involved and the headquarters building to find the file, and fortunately, we were able to retrieve the last game file from a researcher's backup console..
The version floating in front of me right now is the earliest development version..
Jinhee and the crew searched through the home addresses of Clover programmers in the ruined city and finally found it..
There was something we definitely had to check out here..
[SEVER: Ghost Story Club] [1/1]
[SEVER: Ghost Story Club] [FULL]
“I made a server. Connect.”
“okay.”
[Loading “It might be dangerous, so everyone turn off the lights and go out..”
This is the version without the wall..
We never know what influences might flow from beyond our virtual world..
“10I'll be back in a minute. Take care, boss..”
“Okay, everyone, let's go out..”
widely-
Soon all the lights in the laboratory go out..
Jinhee and Gyeongwon open the door and wait outside with the researchers..
The laboratory has become a place of darkness..
Only the monitor light shines dazzlingly..
“Phew.”
Suddenly, I remember memories of secretly using the computer in a room with the lights off when I was young..
The monitor at that time also shined like this, making my eyes hurt..
“Let's get started.”
I relaxed my shoulders and picked up the VR machine in front of me..
It's dangerous to stay connected to the game for a long time, so I plan to check only what I need and get out quickly..
Maybe this will help you immerse yourself.
Jiing-
Soon, VR machines will project the game screen without gaps in the eye's field of view..
[Select World]
[Create New World, Lee Jun-1]
[Loading .]
Paat-
A forest made of six-sided cubes that soon appears before your eyes..
I quickly used the cheat key to teleport to the southern end, found a transparent wall and walked around for a while..
“ Is it like this?.”
A continuous green pasture.
and blue sky.
For me, who lived in a ruined world engulfed by strange phenomena, it was a sight I had not seen in a long time..
After operating the character a few times near the transparent wall, my mind quickly entered the game, perhaps thanks to VR..
‘I walked in a straight line from here.’
Easily cross the border and walk towards the horizon.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
So, I walk for a long time through the meadows that spread beyond the end of the world..
30After walking for about a minute and climbing over a small hill, we finally came to a halt in front of a large hole that could fit several mountains..
“···also.”
I crossed my arms and looked down at the sunken terrain and muttered..
There was a very large crater there, a sign of a nuclear explosion..
Perhaps because so many years had passed, grass had grown inside it, and it was a huge moss-covered pit with animals running around on the slopes and eating the weeds..
This is evidence that there was a huge explosion here a long time ago, at an enormous depth that could not possibly have been created naturally..
‘ Why?.’
I turned my head again and went back the way I came, thinking deeply..
Events that occurred in different time zones
Gun, but the crater of a huge nuclear explosion looks the same.
it meant a lot.
“Phew.”
“are you okay?”
huh ”
The connection ends soon, and Kyungwon and Jinhee look down at me with worried expressions..
I gestured that there was no problem and stood up..
“I checked everything. Delete it.”
“···what? Are you okay? It's the last file left on Earth..”
“are you okay. I found out everything I needed to know. and……
I took one look at the monitor..
“Let's give it a rest now.”
“···okay.”
Soon Gyeongwon is clicking on his keyboard and deleting the game..
And a message appeared before my eyes.
Paat-
[魔□ is surprised? Ki 3W Kwak? Hwikyung? Swt § Swt? 4A!?Kyaakkwak nyeo?昆vfi]
[Why? all-]
It is probably a message that the 'B-class ghost story - Herobrine ghost story' has been defeated..
His consciousness no longer operates on Earth..
We quietly turned off the lights in the laboratory and went outside..
