Worn And Torn Newbie

Worn And Torn Newbie chapter 606
break (2)

[Didn't you get enough sleep? Are you going to spend this precious moment lying down? Get up and run! With the collapse of the Interstellar, all that changed! Log Out Out Out Out Out Out! take my hand!]

After closing the door of the cafe room, in the lobby

The sound of the song being heard is getting smaller.

A bitter mint scent filled the room.

"You came early."

Black work clothes on top and bottom, and cold eyes visible under the brim of a deeply pressed black hat.

Sena Nam, the class leader of the processing group 2, was looking at this side.

widely!

I put my coffee down.

The moment she was about to say something, the male Sena opened her mouth first.

"I caught Bermuda this time. Is it that one?"

that's true What keeps people from talking

How would you have known that?

'Oh, there are people who have seen me. Oh yeah.'

Some people, including Ayaka Akisada, have seen me in the deep sea.

What's more, the blue dragon Bermuda is destroying Atlandum.

As the rumors haven't spread to the general public yet, it seems that the Dem Universe side is cracking down on their mouths.

While I pondered for a moment on what to answer, Nam Sena shrugged her shoulders and continued as if she wasn't interested.

"There was an uproar in the story team at headquarters."

"Actually, it is far beyond the scope of the Korean story team targeting Koreans. there at most

Because it is a place where Korean custom quest stories and productions are made. I heard that in the Dem Universe, there was a new countermeasure team dedicated exclusively to that one?"

That was a little surprising.

Are you going to mark me one-on-one in a company that is famous for not interfering with users' personal lives?

"You should have eaten it in moderation."

I laughed out loud at Nam Sena's words.

However, Nam Se-na's expression was serious.

"I'm not joking. If you keep hunting substreams like that, you can really get into trouble."

"..?

What does this mean? It's made to catch monsters.

Nam Sena sighed when I made a face that I did not understand English.

"That's why gamers are. You know you just need to clear it."

"Don't you think developers? Have you ever wondered how this game works?"

Then I see no

Dem suddenly appeared in this world one day and immediately became a god game.

In all the time frames I've lived before and after the return, Dem has never lost the throne to any other game.

Nam Sena took a cup of tea in front of her and took a sip of the mint tea inside.

"The seventeen sub-streams that make up this world are the imagination of users.

It inflates and collects it."

"..?

"They are the gods of the world, the beings that influence many causal laws. Users go on a long journey along the huge root, going through the tiny roots in front of them. That is the quest and the main story."

Ah, now I think I know what you mean.

If I catch the 17 sub-streams that are the source of the worldview, many quests and stories derived from it will disappear, and will this take away the imagination and joy of users?

' That means you're looking at this world too easily.'

I rather think the opposite.

I've been playing this game for decades

come and know

This game is not simply a game run by some gods.

Although the name of the game means 'Deus ex machina\' 'God by mechanism'... The reality in the game is different.

The things that happen in the game seem to flow and be determined by God, but in fact, without God, nothing happens.

no influence

Everything is created by users.

Even if a fixed S+ level monster dies and the storm disappears in the sea, the sun rises in the abyss, the dungeon disappears, the stars set and rise, and the ecosystem changes, users will adapt and apply it naturally It's just a matter of passing.

This world is not a worldview that is easy enough to be ignored by people because of the absence of only a few beings.

However, Nam Se-na's words surprised me again.

"Well, even if the substream disappears, users will be happy 'Wilson Ringt probably wouldn't think so. Because he likes to collect people's imagination through substreams."

Gather people's imagination?

Come to think of it, I think Wilson once said something similar when he went to the headquarters of Dem Universe.

'This crab really embodies what I am fresh in your world. The human head is as wide and expansive as the universe, but I am slowly moving them into this world.'

wow, that's amazing Is it possible to create such a big world with one person's imagination?'

'Ahahaha. I can't be alone, my imagination creates a big frame, and countless people add flesh to that setting... Fill the hole... catch the bug... That's how we all do it together. Like the Cthulhu Myth or the SCP Foundation you are familiar with. So this game belongs to everyone.'

In a word, it is the result of collective intelligence, like a TRPG.

The game master cannot play the game alone, nor can he make a game just because the players get together.

One For All, All For One.

That is the first code of conduct of 'dem'.

Nam Sena folded her arms.

"There is a limit to adding the imagination of President Wilson, game developers, and various classic works that have existed before. Dem Universe expands the worldview in real time by collecting the play, choice tree, and various opinions of numerous users. It's about collecting your imagination. Well, the artificial intelligence moves it on its own."

I heard that and thought it was really cool. Also, the game is different!

However, what Nam Sena said that followed was a little different from what I thought.

" Sometimes it's creepy, but yeah.

What's creepy?

Let me look at you with a puzzled expression

After hesitating, Nam Sena opened her mouth again.

"Something like sneaking into my head My past, present, and future all seem to be predictable, so I'm unlucky."

Can an employee say this?

When I put on an absurd expression on my face, Nam Se-na put the hat back on, wondering if it was okay.

"Khom! whatever anyway It's a secret that the Dem Universe Headquarters has its own countermeasure team. President Wilson is showing interest and things like that."

"Did you say that I'll see you today?"

I opened my mouth for the first time.

Then Nam Sena said nothing for a while, then put down a sheet of paper in front of me.

In the ID photo attached to the document, a man with a familiar face was seen.

Zodiac Bundy Vale!

It's a face you see for a while.

Nam Sena said softly under the brim of her hat.

"There is only one history of having a one-on-one team in the Dem Universe. It's the zodiac, this man

It's about catching."

"And you are second. Do you know what this means?"

Nam Sena flashed her eyes under the brim of her hat.

But I have no fear of such threats.

A person who has no corners by accident

is a fair law.

Tick!

I snapped my finger and returned the zodiac-related documents to Sena Nam.

I skimmed through it for a while, but only the things I knew were recorded.

"I have never abused bugs or used hacks, and I have always played fairly and fairly with emergent play and iterative mastery.

I say im. At the very least, I pay all my taxes. If you have any doubts, you should file a civil lawsuit. You can see all the log records and raid videos."

"It should have been a publicity thanks to my YouTube video. Have you been harmed by Dem? What is this ungrateful play to do now?"

When I put my voice down, Sena Nam

flinched

Soon, she averted her gaze with a slightly perplexed attitude.

"Oh, no. why are you doing this to me This is what we do at our company...

I was rather embarrassed by the unexpected reaction.

'Well. She's still in her early to mid 20's.'

For some reason, in a place like this,

I don't know if she's playing the role, but Nam Se-na is still young.

No, I'm young rather than young. Compared to myself, who is almost 40 years old, considering my mental age.

Nam Sena pursed her lips and grabbed the teacup again.

"I don't care if the head office pays attention to you or the story team frowns at the lack of content."

"There is only one thing I care about."

After speaking, Nam Sena held out a document with Zodiac information and profile in front of me again.

"The Dem Universe headquarters are making a lot of noise this time with the Zodiac thing. Even the Korean branch of our disposal group was ordered to be wanted. Oh, of course, it's a secret."

this time? What else is this guy... "

I was about to ask a question.

Questions such as 'what else did this guy do in an accident?' are meaningless in the first place.

Because the Zodiac is insecure by its very existence, keeping it alive is like a seed of disaster.

Nam Sena looked at me with a firm expression.

"I am giving you the information because I think you and I have somewhat the same purpose."

This is the reason why they give it to me even while stealing internal secrets that are confidential.

A person who is equivalent to half the head of the processing group.

"Why are you so obsessed with the Zodiac?"

I asked something I had been curious about before.

There is something more obsessive about it than simply fulfilling the position of the head of the processing group.

It has been like that since the time of the domestic professional league raid.

" Because of my seniors."

Nam Sena answered briefly.

'senior?'

I quickly shook my head.

Nam Sena is the class leader of the processing class 2.

However, in the first place, Dem Korea's handling group is all about 2 groups. It's been that way since the game first came out.

' But to say that there is a second half means that there is also a first half.'

If that's the case then it's definitely the class leader

will also exist.

When I'm thinking in my mind

Druck!

There was the sound of a chair being pulled.

When I looked up, I saw Nam Sena, who had already emptied her teacup, standing up from her chair.

"Anyway, this is the end of my business.

Yo. If you have anything else to share, please share."

I nodded my head roughly.

After all, the Zodiac is someone you have to step on even if you're not Nam Sena.

'Okay. I just wanted to see your face.'

I don't know what you're decorating, but you have to ruin it again.

" Whoops."

I clasped my chin with both hands and smiled.

Nam Se-na, who was about to leave the room, was looking at me with a strange expression.

'Like a real villain.'

With a face that clearly shows what you are thinking.
