The World of Masks

There have been two more battles since the first one. Two Cadillacs at a time. Another one was a monster named Kijah. Cadillac cleans up again, boasting of his overwhelming power. The second battle was a standoff for Miles. A monster named Kijah was a green monster with a height of about 1m. With a small club, the group rushes to the party at a reasonably high rate. Politon described him as quite agile. However, Miles managed to catch up with him and cut off his head with ease. It was another moment when the quality of this party was revealed.

As the group makes their way through the battle, the warrior characters with the enhanced streak are tireless, but not the wizard Samantha. That's why the group heads back to the real world at sunset in the game. And when the sun came up in the game, I connected and walked again. It's been three days since I walked like that. Polliten says you can see a village. And not too far from the dungeon.

When the group hears that the middle destination is just around the corner, the group makes a bold move.

"By the way, did something strange happen in Marlahan?"

He picks up his helmet, puts out his mouth, and then grabs the jerky from the bracelet and chews it off. Polyton takes a sip of water next to him.

"Ah! The disappearance of the group."

Jack winces inside. The hand hidden in the robe twitches slightly. The subject that they were talking about was definitely what he had done. But Jack acted very casually. Jack was a pro when it came to hiding the essence anyway.

"There's a lot of blood, but no bodies. I've seen a lot of ugly countries in this game, but when I heard that, I frankly got goosebumps on my back."

"I agree. I took a quick look at the scene, and it was scattered far enough around to wet the area, but there were no bodies. There's no sign of them being dragged anywhere."

"What kind of event are you having in the game?"

Samantha, who was walking a little behind, got involved in the story.

"An event, perhaps. Well, this is also an online game, for starters."

Galik seems to have a point. Jack pinches the back of his hand hidden in the robe, desperately holding back his smile. It was not so funny that what he did was understood as a prelude to the event in the game.

"Why don't we put the bodies in the subspace? The subspace doesn't just have players, so that should be enough. It could have been caused by the player."

I looked at people a little. Perhaps the outline of the unsub is beginning to emerge. He was a little nervous because his safety could also be determined depending on how comprehensive the dragonship was. And I asked myself a few questions. The inventory bracelet prevented players from imagining that they had a lot of time to come into contact with space and were moving around with a dead body in the bracelet.

"Ah, ah. I don't know about Mr. Walton. A human corpse cannot be placed in subspace. Whether it's the body of the player or the body of the NPC. They say it's because of the blessing given to them. Well, the player dies and turns to dust and blows away, so it doesn't matter if you put it in."

Samantha told Galik, who roughly forgot the Lord's name, "Ueron." Galik thumps his helmet for no reason.

Jack knew that the player turned to dust and flew away. That's how Walton died in his hands. But it was the first time I'd ever heard of a body not being able to be placed in subspace. Jack looks down at the bracelet he's wearing. Inside were the bodies of NPCs slaughtered in Marlahan.

"I didn't know that. So how on earth did he do that?"

"I don't know, that. If I knew, I wouldn't have solved it right away. I'm sure there's a reward on the case as well."

And Garrick talks about the rumors he heard. like the resurrection of the Demon King, like the Black Wizard experiment, etc. Jack had heard it all. Jack is distracted by what Galik says and lost in thought.

'If that's true, there's no risk of being caught for a while.'

I could have dreamt of a total crime I'd never be caught in my life.

'But why can I?'

The only difference between Jack's body in the bracelet and the other was that his life was sucked. Perhaps, because of the Demon King's bead of life, which can suck even the human life blessed by the Lord, the corpses were able to be stored in subspace unlike other corpses. There was nothing else to think about.

'Well, thank God it's me.'

Using this, I felt like I could continue hunting more easily in the future.

The group arrives at the village that Politon spoke of around nightfall. The town was simply built on a wall of wooden planks and was piled up in silence. The world's concept of NPCs without electricity woke up early. Around this time in reality, it was time to wrap up in one day and eat dinner with my family, or go to a bar with the right people, but it was already time for me to fall asleep here. The group needs to rest, so they don't know how difficult it is to see. However, the group is not particularly worried. In the beginning, people didn't want to spend time in an inn like this game that was uncomfortable. If he hadn't considered Samantha's stamina, he would have jumped into the dungeon at night or something. Samantha, who didn't put up the str, had no stamina to move around all day, whether it was her character or herself. After logging out, the character's health is restored to its original state after a short break. While logged out, the character seemed to have a similar sleep deprivation time.

The group logouts, promising to meet around sunrise during game time. Jinsuk got up on the bed, sighing. You leave the Masked World connection tool in one corner and leave the room. After taking care of the plants that were piled up in the living room for a while, I had a simple meal. Then I had a moment of personal time. Lying in bed, reading a book, talking to Yurin or killing time, Jin picks up the connection tool again as soon as the alarm on his phone rings. It was time to go back to Jack.

When I accessed the game, it was a time when the sun was shining far east. The villagers also hear a buzzing sound from the village as if they woke up. Jack is followed by a group of one or two who connect to him.

"Let's go straight to the dungeon, then."

Politon proposed, raising his hand to block the sun like a broken eye. Others nodded their heads if they didn't have any opinions.

The town just passed. It was a fairly large village, but it lived in a reality with an advanced civilization, and it was not much of a Merit for players who were using the metropolitan area as their base. Supplies were not needed, as I brought the barley on the bracelet. Above all, people quickly wanted to get into the dungeon and get good items. The group moves a little faster.

The group makes a half-day's walk from the village. The wasteland is surrounded by green grass as if it had escaped. When you see the group, you see a small group of animals running away. It was a desolate place, but I've seen it, so I even felt like my heart was healing.

The group across the meadow enters a mountain within the meadow. It was a huge mountain from afar. The group sighs lightly when they say Polaton should climb this mountain, just as there was a mountain showing the crescent snow on the ridge beyond the horizon. In particular, Samantha sighed loudly. But fortunately, it didn't have to go to the top. The group sweeps their chests.

I climbed about three more hours. It seems that he was concerned about Samantha's physical strength and pace. Samantha grunts a little as though her armor was uncomfortable. But climbing up the mountain on his own steps was quieter, no matter how hard.

The mountaineering party finds a small cavern. It was a cave half the length of an adult covered with grass and trees.

"Is this the dungeon?"

"Yes, this is the dungeon."

The joy in the eyes of the people passed through the light. I wasted almost a week searching for this little cave. It was about three days in real time.

"Now, Samantha, listen to this."

Politon gave something to Samantha. The people's gazes were curious and headed for the beads.

"A bead of light."

Samantha taps the bead. I can feel the cold mineral in my hands.

"In a dungeon in the dark, you need it."

Politon took out another bead of light from his bracelet. Jack touches Galik by his side with questionable eyes. I asked you to explain. The name of the bead and the purpose of the bead were all I could find, but I still wanted the right information.

"That's a magic item, too. Exactly when you light your own path in the dark."

The purpose of the bead was as Jack had imagined.

"Samantha, please identify yourself in the middle of the group. And Mr. Garrick. I want you to take this marble and lead the way."

"Good."

Galik, who is best suited for the party's lead, is more defensive. Another bead of light falls over. It was a bead of light the size of an ordinary man's fist, but it looked like a small glass bead that the children were playing with once it entered the hands of a large Galik.

"Well, let's get going."

Politon took a step into the dark cave after taking a knife through the trees blocking the cave entrance.
