Regression Is Too Much

82 – Regressor panics (3)

Whewying.

A cold blade of wind scratches your face.

“What! f*ck!”

“… Mister. Shut up.”

“Oh, one person came in.”

I was surprised by the cold for a while, but as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw people. Not just one or two, but a bunch of really crowded people.

When I lowered my head and examined my body, I saw that a thick winter coat was wrapped around my body. There are already thick clothes and there are many people, so the space seems to be crowded.

“Oh, how many people are there… “

“98 People.”

It was a self-talk that I unknowingly spoke to myself, but I didn’t expect an answer to come.

When I turn my head in the direction of the voice, I see a middle-aged white man smiling benignly among the crowd looking at me.

“It’s nothing special. It floats above.”

A man pointing upward with the tip of his hand. As he said, he looked up at the sky and saw letters floating in the air.

[98/100]

“… Thank you.”

I answered briefly and immediately turned my head. You may think I’m not mean, but I don’t intend to get too friendly with other people. Unless you can see Ssaksu like Kang Chan or Kyung Joon.

“… “

More than that, where is this place?

Breaking through the crowd and moving forward. I couldn’t see properly because of the human barrier.

After about 30 seconds of struggling, I was finally able to get out of the crowd.

Took.

“I-Sir… “

The tip of the nose lightly touched something invisible. It is fortunate that the speed is slow because there are many people.

As I stretched out my hand and groped ahead, I touched a transparent hemispherical protective film. The reason why people were together was not simply because it was cold, but because they were locked up.

“This seems like a structure that disappears when 100 people gather… “

Release your hand from the shield and lift your head up.

At the top, I could see the blue sky and snow that was falling violently, and if I lowered my head a little, I could see sheer mountains trying to pierce the sky. By the time your vision finally reaches the ground, you can see the dry soil floor where the snow is starting to pile up, ending with the walls surrounding this space.

Yes. Now this place is inside the castle wall. It is surrounded by stone walls on all sides.

“Um… “

When I turned my head back, I saw a rather crude Goseong. It is a designed castle that should be called a fortress, not a fancy castle that would appear in a fantasy world. It’s blunt, old, and hard.

Then I think this is about the courtyard of a castle…

“Yaya, 99 people entered.”

“It’s not cold thanks to the clothes… “

“My legs hurt from standing… “

I hear the sound of making a fuss while looking at the sky. It seems that everyone cares about the number of people.

“… Hey.”

“… Yes?”

I spoke to the slit-eyed man who was massaging his hands while looking up at the sky. There was no other reason, but it was because he had been here for a long time, judging from the snow on his clothes.

“That… What is that?”

On the other side of the courtyard about 100 meters away from this shield where many players were standing.

There was something black and hemispherical there. Something black and shiny, completely foreign to the antique castle walls.

Even the size seemed to be at least three times bigger than this shield we were trapped in, and just looking at it made me nervous.

“Ah, that… well. Probably no big deal. It has been there since I first came in.”

However, the blind man answered indifferently. He genuinely seemed to think it was okay.

“… But what if something pops out of there?”

“Uh, um… Then what should I fight? But I guess not. You usually start by giving a weapon at the beginning of the floor, right? But since there’s no such thing in the shield, I’m just guessing it’s not.”

“… Aha.”

I thought I was optimistic that it would be okay without thinking, but there was a good reason. Yes, you should start by giving the weapon. I’m not saying that everyone who doesn’t have items should die.

“More than that, bro. The atmosphere is a little tasteless, but it looks like they’re fighting well… If players compete with each other, unite… “

“Sorry.”

Rejecting the man’s offer, I walked all the way along the outer perimeter of the shield. The snow is strong, the castle is old, and the mountains are high. If I had known it would be like this, I wonder if I would have waited for Choi Ji-won, and I am at a loss for nothing.

“… That’s cool.”

In the midst of snow, the mountain range standing tall was beautiful in itself. Sometimes I feel like I want to climb to the top. It’s like looking at the old Windows desktop, and it’s a strangely sucking sensation.

“Hey, hey! 100 People!”

“Is the mission open? Can’t you see me?”

What pulled me out of an untimely thought was the shouts of others.

I raised my head involuntarily and looked into the air, and the number was updated to [100/100].

“… Is it a start?”

The moment I muttered that, a message window popped up in front of my eyes.

[All members have gathered.]

[Fourth floor begins.]

＜4Th floor＞

-Clear condition: Survive for 5 days. The moment the timer ends, it is automatically cleared and you move to the 1st floor.

-120:00:00

As soon as the message pops up, the protective shield that has imprisoned about 100 players disappears.

“No… Survival?”

“I think I’m a little bit f*cked up… ?”

But no one moved. All of them, in a frozen state, read and re-read the message window that popped up in front of their eyes.

The first floor is not actually a floor, but rather a resting place and more like a base camp.

The second floor is what I did after twisting and twisting so much, it is a moderate floor where no one is killed or injured. Even now, because I changed the 2nd floor, it is said that I am acting as a kind of teacher for inexperienced players to get used to the battle.

The third floor was very, very tight, but… It was because it was the hardest difficulty for me. Listening to other people’s stories, it doesn’t seem to be terribly difficult, assuming you’ve chosen a difficulty that’s right for your skills.

Actually, according to the article I saw on the Internet, the clearing rate was roughly over 70%. If anyone dies, everyone is killed, so there were no trolls.

In other words, it is a state in which the mind is fully relaxed. Since the 3rd floor emphasizes ‘cooperation’, it must have played a part in the budding of a sense of fellowship among the players.

But suddenly, the mission on the 4th floor was ‘survival’.

Simply put, if you’re alive, you’re clear. Very easy conditions, but at the same time.

“… What comes out?”

It was like a declaration that something to come would threaten survival.

Those who were fixed came up with tutorials at the same time. A tutorial that allowed only 25% survival unless you killed a hidden boss. The despair, blood, mischief, and outbursts I felt at that time.

Wheeyeeing.

A courtyard where 100 people are standing, but only the sound of the wind can be heard.

“Hey, hey! Run!”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

What broke the unexpected silence was a group of five people rushing towards the castle.

“Find food, start with food!”

The group of three men and two women all had a weapon in each hand, and the light was unusual, so it seemed to be an item. He probably got the gold reward on the 2nd floor and picked up his weapon there.

“Uh, uh uh!”

“Hey, let’s go too!”

Perhaps it was only then that they realized that they might be each other’s rivals, and most of the people started running towards the castle.

The judgment of the group that rushed in first was correct. If food was limited, it was very likely that food would soon become power.

Also, since the snow is getting stronger, there must have been an idea to go inside and see.

After that little time has passed. Few people remained in the courtyard.

Only about 10 people remained in the courtyard, including a middle-aged white man with a warm smile and a blind man who had asked if he wanted to go out with them earlier.

“… “

“… “

There was a slight exchange of glances, and I was certain at this moment.

First. The people who remain here can afford it. In other words, they are people who are confident in obtaining food by force in case of unavoidable circumstances.

And second. These… have good eyesight

“Everyone is sharp.”

A man with a slanted eye talking with a grin.

His gaze was fixed on the black hemisphere across the courtyard.

A message pops up in front of your eyes, and the atmosphere becomes chaotic as people start running to the castle.

Damn it.

The black hemisphere began to crack.

Ordinary people couldn’t see it because they were embarrassed, but the people here noticed it.

Damn it. Damn

At first, it was just a small incontinence, but the crack gradually spread.

Wow!

Soon, it was completely destroyed along with black smoke.

Yeah, what will come out?

A monster? Weapon? Food? Or an angel?

Thanks to the strong wind, the smoke is pushed away in an instant. The inside will be revealed soon.

“… “

“… “

The 10 players cautiously approached the hemisphere while keeping an eye on each other.

Inside the hemisphere finally revealed…

“Cool, cool… “

“Hey, hey… “

“Ughhhhh… “

There were a lot of people.

From noble mtl dot com

That number far exceeds the number of players. Estimated to be over 300 people.

“Uh uh… “

“What is this… “

I knew that something would come out, but I didn’t know that there would be such a group of people. While the puzzled players didn’t know what to do, they just watched.

“Kuluck, who doesn’t have crabs!”

A man walks out of the smoke, coughing repeatedly.

“I am Baron Jorge! Help, I need help!”

A long beard. Old-fashioned attire. It’s translated and sounds like Korean, but even the accent is unfamiliar.

There is a very, very high probability that they are not Earthlings.

“… “

A towering mountain. Snow flurries. Old castle. And hundreds of aliens who suddenly appeared.

The 4th floor is… It started like that.
