****This release was sponsored by ****

I looked at my watch. It was already reaching 2am.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

As soon as the long hand reached "12," I found myself back in the white room again.

yeah, just as I expected.

Everything I was expecting had was shown before my eyes.

"That's a bit too long… can't they shorten that a bit?"

Without realizing, I was mumbling to myself. That's when it happened.

The Lyfedearc wordings in the front disappeared, and the '.' changed to '-'

Are they trying to be funny or something? It made me laugh a bit. Why don't they just tell me how to survive this thing instead of doing this mess? well?

"Okay, so what's my next test?"


Reward Search
Required time: 1 hour.


"What? what's up with reward search all of a sudden?"

That made my head tilt in curiousity…

They always popped up the Reward Search window in front of me right after battles were complete. Someone was trying to make me spend money all the d.a.m.n time. Wait, that's right! I have 1p left.

"Money."

Reward Search
100,000won - 1p

"Really? Is this for real?"

They really do have money, huh?

"Hmm… should I try to purchase it? Purchase 100,000won."

When I said the words, something totally unexpected happened.

100,000won has been deposited to player Jung Yoon-Hwan's XX bank account.

"What?"

I couldn't believe what just happened. 100,000won was just deposited where?

"Ha. hahaha. what the f.u.c.k…"

This was impossible. I felt like my soul was escaping from my body because of this non-sense.

The window in front of me began to change again.


Fourth Test
Co-op battle - The Labyrinth of Death
1p per every enemy killed


"What?"

A co-op battle? what's that?

This day has been confusing the h.e.l.l out of me for some reason. Can't someone come out and give me an explanation?

While I was thinking, the light around me dimmed, leaving me completely alone in darkness again.

"Tch. Basic Divine Light."

I placed my hand on top of my head to use the skill. I could see everything that was around me with the light s.h.i.+ning from my hair. Feeling content, I nodded to myself over how well the light was working without the light helmet.

"I should've done this from the beginning!"

It was a dark surrounding. I was still in a stone chamber. A co-op, you say… what the h.e.l.l am I supposed to with a co-op? They want me to fight together with someone?

"Depositing money into my bank account and letting me take it easy now... just what are they thinking…"

Is there a G.o.d like being within this game? There should be one. What the h.e.l.l is his motive? What is he thinking?

f.u.c.k, I just don't get anything.

I kept looking around me. I was in a stone chamber as before, but it was much bigger than last time.

First, there was only one exit so I moved carefully. The pa.s.sageway in this chamber was wide enough for 2 people to walk through. Its height was about 3 meters. It was ma.s.sive.

While I was making my way down the pa.s.sage, I heard something that made my ears perk.

thud. thud. thud. thud. thud. thud.

Something was walking towards me. It was too fast to be a zombie. It had heavy footsteps. Either way, I couldn't see anything because of the darkness.

Who is it?

Is it a person? or…

Before I could come up with an answer, something came into my light range.

It was a monster that was different from a zombie. There was a hole in its head wearing a worn-out leather helmet. Its body was rather skinny, holding a s.h.i.+eld in one hand, and a sword that appeared to be a meter in length in the other.

"that's… a skeleton."

Skeleton.

A common monster that appears in lots of RPG games…

G.o.d d.a.m.n it. I'm just having to face all kinds of monsters now.

"And there's more than one?"

I could see countless skeletons behind the one that's before me. I couldn't get a feel for how many was there.
What the h.e.l.l is up with them.

Why are there so many? Do I have to break through all of them alone?

"f.u.c.k! What kind of co-op battle is this! This is bulls.h.i.+t, that's what I say!"

What the h.e.l.l is going on inside the head of the guy who made this d.a.m.n game, huh?
