I lifted the concrete debris and rebar and entered the ruined subway station.

There was nothing special inside the empty station.

Broken glass, collapsing water from burning, and zombies crawling all over the floor to see if they were damaged by falling rocks.

"There is no end to this undead."

I grabbed the blade upside down and smashed the zombies around me.

The higher the level, the easier it is to live in an apocalyptic world.

Furthermore, since these zombies killed several people and possessed the stat stone, the drop rate of the stat stone was almost 100% when killed, so the more you kill it, the better.

It's just a pity that it's difficult to procure the consumables needed for raids.

"I can hear the basic stat rising."

I corrected the basic stats by beating the zombies.

The agility is possible, but... In fact, raising any stat itself

is also beneficial

At the same time

???????????? ???? ???????????????????????????????????????? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???????? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ????

I broke the vending machine on the wall and took out the sweets and ionized beverages in it.

Consumables were largely intact in this area due to rapid decay and contamination.

The zodiac that was following me whistled when I saw it.

"Wow, come to think of it, I never thought of going downstairs. Why didn't you? Were there too many zombies?"

The Zodiac, who pretended to be flirting, slowly approached me and reached out for the sweets and ionic drinks I had been looking for.

I slashed the back of the zodiac's hand and struck it with a dandelion.

"Tattoo, bad hands!"

At the same time, he spit and spit on the sweets and the ionized drink, which contained the poisonous poison of Belze Bup's plague.

Push sissy...

Zodiac's expression rots when he sees the wrapping paper of sweets and ionic drinks rotting to black.

"I don't eat because it's dirty, I don't eat."

Now I can only eat this food.

And even in the midst of this, zombies near the subway station were flocking towards this side.

[Grooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooworthy ]

[Guaaaah!]

[Cruck! Shut up!]

People who turned into undead after being bitten by the undead turned towards me

Suck the straw and nails.

Among the dogs, there were also individuals with large body sizes, multiple tentacles, and unusually long limbs and tails, possibly due to mutations.

" But what."

At most, monsters between D-C+.

It will be a target of fear for newbies who have just been thrown into the game world.

To me, it's just as annoying as a mosquito in midsummer.

"S. Utt Joe. Ah."

I beat the zombies and collected the essence of the stats one by one.

Tangrang! Tangrang! Tangrang!

Judilope and Oz were working hard on the floor to collect colorful stones.

Then the mission window floating in the corner of my field of vision trembles loudly.

(Fourth mission: One among the monsters)

"Now it's time for the next mission to appear."

I muttered as I burned the corpses of the undead piled up.

Clearing the mission like this will unlock the transparent wall blocking the next stage, which is unavoidable.

Then, the Zodiac slowly came and sat down next to me.

"No, but won't you listen to me?"

By the way, you were listening to the story of the Zodiac, right?

It was necessary to select and listen to only the facts, as dry as possible without the emotional arm.

I beckoned with as much apathetic and clerical tone as possible.

" Keep talking."

The flames created by burning human fat brightly illuminate the subway station.

The zodiac sits next to me and still my

I picked up a can of ionized beverage that was not contaminated with saliva.

"Hmmm. I'm thirsty to talk for a long time.

However

widely!

I use amazing dexterity and toughness to grab this can of hot drink in the hands of the Zodiac.

Then he quickly pushed the Zodiac back and knocked it down, then climbed on top of him and pouted his lips.

Bubble bubbling...

My saliva, which has melted the energy of the great Parisian, is dripping thickly toward the face of the zodiac.

If you touch it, you are instantly addicted.

"Would you like to shake your neck?"

Ahh! Don't open your mouth! You're drooling!

The zodiac pushed me away and grinded my teeth.

"You filthy bastard! Can't you hand out a can of drink or a bag of bread!?

"I found it."

"I found something!?"

"But now it's in my hands. What you found, I found again, so I found it."

Zodiac half open mouth.

I tapped my palms with a sharpener, pushing the bread and drinks back.

"Please explain. If you don't want to follow.

There is no such thing as a temple or an antidote in Belpegol's nightmare world.

Therefore, a skill that inflicts irreversible dot damage like my 'skillful' or 'extreme poison,' traits can inflict a huge penalty

there will be

Zodiac gritted his teeth once and smiled forcefully at me.

"Pussusu- yes, my friend. Let's talk first. After listening to it all, the way you see me will change a bit."

"How do I look at you?"

When I asked, Zodiac reached out and ruffled his wet hair.

And with a subtle smile

answered.

"Look at me, my friend. If you look at me with contempt, you will look like a fool; if you look at me with love, you will see me as a god."

"But if you look straight at it, yes.

if

My face is reflected in the dark eyes of the zodiac.

And in the eyes of my face reflected in the black eyes of the zodiac, the image of the zodiac was reflected again.

Zodiac smiled brightly at me.

"You will see yourself."

That moment.

[Pu.]

Chop the zodiac's head! There was someone coming down.

Ahh! what!?

Zodiac turns his head in surprise.

There, Judilope, riding on Oz's back, was proudly blowing out her nose.

[Are you telling me not to mess around with my pet?]

Oz kindly interprets Judilope's words.

Zodiac looked at Judilope and murmured something, then turned his head again and continued the story.

"Puss Okay, let's keep talking. How far have you been? Oh yeah. Numino, did I tell you what I was?"

I nodded.

According to the zodiac that goblin mask

The reason they kidnapped people and pushed them here is to extract a substance called 'Numinose'.

(This is something I also noticed to some extent after hearing the conversations of the goblin masks)

Numinose is a hormone secreted according to the joys and sorrows that humans feel in virtual reality, and is it secreted even more prominently in negative emotions such as fear, sadness, and hatred?

"The goblin masks are responsible for collecting this numinose extracted from people's brains."

" How are you going to collect them?"

When I asked, Zodiac raised his blood-red eyes.

Soon, deep-seated hatred erupted from between his teeth.

"It is used as a nutritional supplement to keep Wilson's brain running smoothly."

What?

I doubted my ears.

Zodiac said with a serious expression with a smile on his lips.

"How could Wilson imagine this great world alone? This game 'Deus Ex Machina' is the result of many people's 'imagination' and 'creativity'."

"Steal your imagination?"

okay. By injecting numinose extracted from other people's brains into Wilson's brain, with a syringe or whatever. The vast set of worldviews that I imagined in that way are the basis of this Deus Ex Machina."

I frowned.

So, Wilson kidnapped people, forced them to go through terrifying virtual reality, and the imagination and creativity of others in the process.

Did you absorb them and make a game?

The word nonsense was just about to come out of my mouth.

In an instant, the conversation between me, Wilson, and Sol Yun crosses my mind.

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

[Ahahaha. There's no way I can be alone

Countless people have fleshed out that setting... Fill the hole... catch the bug... That's how we all do it together. No matter how much I am, I can't design this big world by myself, can I?]

'That's right. That's why there are other story writers.'

What conversations did you have after that?

I couldn't remember it very well, but I do remember that it was an awkward conversation.

I had no choice but to push the zodiac again.

"No, then the real world is the demo version of Deus Ex Machina. The demo version was dungeonized as part of the game being officially serviced? And those who bought the demo version for real

The result of this biological experiment? No, how can a game company kidnap a living person and extract hormones from the brain? Does that make sense? Why, after all, was it you? How do you not get it? How did you escape?"

"...just ask me one question, you idiot."

Zodiac scratched his head and replied.

"When I first fell into this world, who was the AI and who was the loser?

It was hard to tell if it was a living person. It was clear who was a player and who was an NPC, but everyone couldn't tell the difference. Even I had to think about whether I was actually an NPC. A lot of people have had self-destruction and are half crazy."

"Hmm. So you are like that."

"Pussy how am i I guess I'm pretty sane.

Zodiac giggled and leaned his upper body towards me.

"While I was adjusting to living in this world, I met a man who was a former member of the Numinose team."

And his next words caught my attention.

"He was Korean."

I'm Korean

Koreans are often seen at Dem Universe's headquarters, perhaps because of their ethnicity (?) who are good at games.

Zodiac continued.

He was a former GM, but he realized the exact reality of what he was doing and ran away. He refused to capture innocent people and use them as test subjects;

The result is obvious.

They were captured for silence and forcibly thrown into this world.

I nodded.

I think I saw that in something like 'Me X Runner' or 'Am X Xia'."

"Well, making the whistleblower a victim of absurdity again is a shame."

Shrugging his shoulders, Zodiac picks up a branch and lights the bonfire.

The body that had been thrown in place of the firewood was shrinking and turning black.

" The man from GM didn't last long because he had a constitution that secreted a little numinose. You'll die sooner or later.

But Zodiac said he could hear a lot from him.

"Pussusu- I will show you the details in the video. Then the end of the bastard

was recorded."

The zodiac was all broken, and the status window that generated noise was shared in front of me.

The moment I was about to hit the play button on the video.

chin!

Zodiac grabbed my wrist.

!?"

Oops, was I too careless?

It seems that the vigilantism was momentarily dulled by the unexpected story.

The moment I panicked and was about to remove my wrist.

,,Hey.,,

said the zodiac.

"But as a human being, just give me a bag of bread."
