I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 2
◈ 002. [STAGE 0] Tutorial begins
Kwagwagwagwang!
When I opened my eyes, a pile of bricks fell in front of me along with an explosion of alcohol..
“uh?”
At the same time I made a stupid noise, someone pushed my shoulder from behind..
I couldn't even think of moaning and had to lie down on the floor..
“What is it, suddenly……!”
I tried to turn my head to see the person who pushed me.,
Kuwagwanggwang!
Before that, there was a huge tremor accompanied by heavy drinking. It felt like a bomb had exploded right in front of my nose. I was scared and held myself closer to the floor..
Soon the vibration subsided and my ears, which had been pounding, calmed down. I raised my shaking head and looked around. What is it??
It was on a castle wall made of large bricks. Acrid smoke rose from everywhere where the fire broke out, and shouts and screams rang out..
The castle wall right next to it had melted red and was flowing like water. It really looked like something like a bomb had exploded..
“What is this, crazy……?”
I muttered shakily and looked further up the castle wall..
Men covered in soot and blood stains and armed with armor were moving about busily..
The cannons on the castle walls continued to spit out fire, and people cursed, brandishing swords and shooting arrows beyond the walls..
What is beyond the castle wall that makes it do that? I slowly raised my head and looked that way..
And beyond the castle walls.
“……!”
there were monsters.
Wow!-!
Monsters similar in shape to spiders but larger than humans were swarming endlessly towards the castle walls, screaming with ferocity..
There seemed to be hundreds, if not thousands..
I was so dumbfounded that my body froze..
What is this??
“Is it a dream? Or maybe you ate something wrong and are hallucinating.……?”
“It's good to deny reality, but isn't that such a cliché response, Your Highness??”
A grumbling sound was heard from behind. It seemed like he was the person who pushed me to the floor. I looked back in bewilderment..
There was a young man I had seen many times somewhere..
“……Mmm?”
I couldn't come to my senses even more when a handsome Kkotdol suddenly appeared in the middle of this terrible battlefield..
It’s burdensome, so please take a step back..
Two bright blue eyes flashed beneath shiny blonde hair. The handsome muscular body was clearly visible even through the leather armor..
He literally looked like he was claiming to be the main character. Yes, it's just the main character's perspective.…….
uh?
“……lucas?”
Without realizing it, I pointed my finger at that handsome man..
He looks exactly like Lucas, the main character of the game I was playing just a little while ago..
The blond young man made an astonished face..
“You are finally calling my name. He couldn't even remember while I served him as an escort for the rest of his life..”
“uh… … uh?”
It's really Lucas?
No, wait a minute, that doesn’t mean… … No way here…….
Kwakwang-!
Something flew again and part of the castle wall collapsed. I screamed and rolled on the floor. Save people!
Gritting his teeth, Lucas rushed over and forced me to stand up..
“In case you forgot again, let me explain! The enemy is the ‘Black Spider Army’! There are two hundred heavily armored siege entities, and nine hundred close-range assault entities! This forward base is on the verge of collapse.!”
“Parents, parents, parents.”
I'm so embarrassed that I can't even speak properly..
The black spider army is a type of monster that appears in . Harassing the player horribly from the middle.
Lucas growled as he looked beyond the castle walls..
“But they're not active during sunset! The sun sets in 30 minutes! So, I asked you several times to stay calm and stay inside the base building.……!”
It seemed like this pouring bombardment was a siege attack from the black spider army..
bang! Quagwang! Sparks flew everywhere and the walls melted. The soldiers who were fighting on the castle walls fell down, spraying blood over and over again..
“Damn this way!”
Lucas almost lifted me up and dragged me into the base..
The buildings inside the base were completely scorched and collapsed, but the situation was better than the hell outside..
Lucas put me down in it and shouted..
“Stay here until sunset! Never come out! Did you know??”
“Uh, yeah…….”
Afterwards, I said it without realizing it..
“Thanks, Lucas…….”
“……?”
Lucas glanced at me quizzically, then ran back towards the castle wall..
what. Is it really that honorable for me to say thank you? What kind of relationship do I have with this guy?.
“Mmm.”
I straightened my back, which was sore from rolling around, and looked around. First, I had to understand the current situation..
“Ugh…….”
“It hurts, it hurts so much…….”
The inside of the base building was full of wounded soldiers..
The soldiers groaned, their bodies wrapped in blood-soaked bandages. Every time I hear the cries of monsters outside, I writhe in fear..
But there was something the soldiers feared more than monsters..
“Hehehe?!”
“Tuesday, His Royal Highness?!”
……It was me.
When I approached the soldiers who looked sick, they all fell to the ground in disgust..
“sorry! sorry! I have nothing to say!”
“We, who are just resting with injuries like this, are the ones to kill! I'll go out and fight again, so please at least get the death penalty.!”
yes?
The death penalty?
No, what kind of scary sound is that? I waved my hands urgently..
“No, I just looked sick, so I was trying to help.…….”
“Are you saying that you will make it easier by killing me??!”
“There is nothing wrong with the injury! I will return to the front immediately! Wow!”
Before I could say anything, the soldiers ran towards the wall, dragging the wounded body..
“…….”
I suddenly looked around the empty building inside..
“……What is it??”
Let's calm down for now. I don't know if this is a dream or reality, but let's stay calm..
There was a chair in the empty room. I sat down roughly and rubbed my aching forehead with my hand. There was a need to sort out the situation..
‘First of all, it may sound absurd, but.’
This is the world of.
Yep, the same game I finished a while ago on highest difficulty..
There is Lucas, the main character, and an army of black spiders, a representative monster species. almost certainly.
I don't know why I came here, but that's the result..
‘So, who am I now??’
In reality, I am not a ‘classic fanatic’ who made a living by broadcasting games. That's right too.
“Are you okay, Your Highness??”
Because all the people who see me here are calling me that..
Lucas asked me, poking his head inside from outside the building. I nodded weakly..
“Uh, whatever. I think it's okay…….”
“Sunset has begun. The black spider army also began to retreat. It looks like a siege will be set up somewhere not far away..”
Lucas sighed, wiping the blood from his cheek with his hand..
“Somehow I survived today too. I don't know what will happen tomorrow…….”
I glanced at Lucas’ face..
The guy who was on my monitor just a little while ago was now right in front of me, so it felt strange and strange at the same time..
But there are more important things to do right now than looking at the guy's face. I slowly got up from the chair..
“Lucas, the wounded soldiers?”
“yes?”
“The wounded soldiers in this room. When I came in, they got scared and ran away. where are you now?”
“I wondered what was going on because wounded soldiers were rushing out... … Everyone is on the wall now.”
Immediately after, Lucas' face turned pale..
“majesty. Did the soldiers mislead His Majesty??”
“huh? That's not it.”
“Please forgive me generously. Nowadays, every soldier who can hold a weapon is important. Maintaining morale through the death penalty also has its limits.…….”
“No, I won't give you the death penalty! I won't kill you! What's wrong with everyone? I look like a murderous idiot who treats people's lives like a bug.?!”
Lucas' eyes widened at my words. It's like a face that says 'Do you understand now?'.
I broke into a cold sweat. Is it real? Really? Am I that kind of person? He's the type of person who cuts off innocent subordinates' throats just because they're wrong.?
“Well, what are you talking about? I really won't touch you... … Everyone tells me to come back and rest here..”
Lucas asked a question as if he didn't understand what I said..
“yes?”
“They say the sun is setting. It's going to get cold soon. Here, on the stove, tell the injured kids to rest. I have to get better so we won't have to fight tomorrow either..”
“uh… … yes…….”
“and you talk to me.”
After saying that, I went out first, and Lucas asked with a trembling voice..
“Your Majesty, perhaps.”
“huh?”
“Instead of sparing the soldiers, are you going to kill me??”
“No I won't kill you, I won't kill anyone!”
What on earth was ‘I’ doing?!
***
The wind blowing over the castle walls is cold..
The wind blowing across my face was winter's..
And it was at night. It was natural that it was cold, but there were other reasons as well..
“…….”
I looked around slowly..
death.
There was death everywhere. There were monster corpses under the walls, and human corpses on top of the walls..
There was a chill in the air from death. The cold was much worse than winter and even at night..
“Lucas. When is now, where is this??”
Standing at the edge of the castle wall, I barely managed to hold back nausea from the overwhelming smell of blood..
Lucas, who was standing behind me, looked puzzled by my question, but answered clearly..
“It is the last day of February in the year 649 of the imperial calendar. This is the forward base of the fortress city of Crossroads..”
“……So tomorrow will be March 1, 649..”
“That's right.”
I gritted my teeth..
March 1, 649, Imperial Calendar. Monster Front Advance Base.
It was a very familiar time, a very familiar place..
It has to be that way. Because it was the time and place of the 'tutorial' that I had to play hundreds of times while playing for the past half year..
‘How did the situation seem familiar?…….’
I cleared in Ironman mode on Hell difficulty..
Ironman mode requires the game to be played with only one save slot..
And the game forcibly overwrites and saves the progress in that slot. This means that a new save load is impossible..
However, if the overall situation in the game becomes so bad that it cannot be cleared,?
You have no choice but to give up on the game in progress and start over from scratch..
Viewers called restarting the game from the beginning like this 'New Earth' or 'New Empire'. I recorded the number of times I restarted..
And I cleared the game in District 742.
That means you failed 741 times, which means you played this tutorial map alone 742 times. You have no choice but to know the tutorial well..
‘Tomorrow is the prologue. The tutorial stage begins.’
The tutorial is simple.
Explain the worldview, teach the controls and game system, and…….
Everyone dies except Lucas..
“…….”
It was a story I had forgotten because I skipped it hundreds of times, but once I remembered it, I easily remembered it..
At the same time, I was able to know who ‘I’ was..
“‘It's 'Ash'.”
“yes?”
“My name. ash. Ash 'Bonhater' Everblack.”
Lucas looked at me as if I was saying something obvious, but I was serious. I gritted my teeth and pulled out my hair..
“Why, why, you idiot?!”
The 3rd Prince, the Empire's crazy psycho.
The worst commander who arbitrarily leads most of the troops in the fortress city to the forward base and then annihilates them..
And, the character who meets the most terrible end in the tutorial.
Ash 'Bonhater' Everblack.
In this game, it is a minor extra who dies as soon as he appears and has no importance as a snot..
‘I'm shocked that I was dragged into the gaming world, but I ended up being such a bastard.?’
It was the exact moment when I realized who I was..
ring!
A familiar, cheap sound effect rang out, and a transparent window appeared before my eyes..
[STAGE 0]
- Goal: Survive the monster attack
- compensation : ???
It was a system window that I saw a lot of times..
Yes, the interface was the same as the game I was playing just a moment ago..
“…….”
Then I realized for sure.
I really entered the game world,
This game is a very shitty game.
“Oh, Your Highness the Prince. Are you okay??”
Lucas looked at me worriedly as I stared into space with wide eyes..
“……lucas.”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”
I turned my head stiffly to Lucas and quietly whispered.
It was a word filled with passion, sincerity, and sincerity..
“Fuck it, fuck it.”
