LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 12 The slime is too strong (8)
[The guard stone of the beginner's village has been completely destroyed.]
[Quest failed! The slimes won the battle with the humans!]
“This... what is this.”
A fierce battle in the beginner village for three days.
It was difficult, but the humans who thought they would eventually win after overcoming numerous sacrifices stood in a daze as if they couldn't believe the situation that was unfolding in front of them.
Looking at the protagonist of the rumor, standing in front of a shattered guardian stone with a dark red and bloody hood deeply pressed down and holding a rusty iron sword.
“Oops, my hand slipped.”
Jaeyoung shrugs his shoulders in a voice full of laughter as if it was a mistake.
People reacted explosively to his reaction.
“What the hell is that bastard!”
“Hey you crazy bastard! What the hell have you done!”
“That damn troll!”
For three days, countless people's efforts to protect the beginner's village were all in vain because of a single trolling. In a situation where the sense of despondency and frustration rose by itself to simply laugh it off, they shouted out without anyone else.
“Get that bastard!”
“nickname! Check your nickname first!”
“From now on, I will dedicate my life to killing you!”
Those who run towards them with threatening gazes as if they will make them regret being born if they get caught. However, blinded by anger, they did not see those who ran toward Jae-young. The abnormal phenomenon that occurred from the plaza where the guardian stone was destroyed.
[Main Scenario Act. 1 Forgotten Darkness Emerging]
[Linked Quest Slime's Rage. Failed.]
[Begoves Village has been permanently destroyed.]
[Apply this
. ]
What is this?”
“Aeg! It feels strange!”
“Ugh... it’s so sticky I can’t move properly!”
A green sap suddenly started gushing out from the floor. The green sap started to cover the entire village in an instant, and something like that sticky, swaying jelly caught the users' ankles.
And something started bouncing all over town.
“Kwuuuuu!”
“Kyung! Kwyung!”
“Kwaaaaang?”
As if wondering where this place is again, the slimes started bouncing around with bright eyes as if they were curious. Seeing those slimes, the users couldn't hide their bewilderment.
“What is it all of a sudden?”
“No, hyung, why are you here!”
A beginner village where slimes cannot regenerate. However, they were able to understand the phrase at the end of the quest when they saw tens of thousands of slimes bouncing around the entire village.
[The slimes who were treated contemptuously on the Arcadia continent. They fought against the humans who brutally slaughtered them and eventually succeeded in driving them out with victory
.
“Kwuuuuuu!”
The slimes roared all at once as if they had won. In their bright and cute eyes, it seemed as if they could see a sense of pride, as if ‘We won!'
[Slimes will thrive in the realm of the old humans. With the Lord leading them.]
Quaang.
A king slime that jumped to the place that used to be a town square as if it were the main character.
Coincidentally, this gigantic slime that had dug in between Jaeyoung and the humans was looking down at the remaining players with a hostile expression.
“Kwuuuuuu-.”
[‘Beginner's Village' has been changed to ‘Slime's Sanctuary'.]
[The levels and stats of the slime race have been adjusted.]
[Caution. You have entered the recommended level 80 hunting ground. Be mindful of play.]
The users who were definitely in the beginner village. However, in an instant, those standing in the middle of the green hunting ground muttered with a dejected expression after checking the recommended level. “Ha ha... fuck.”
On this day, they were able to realize that they were being hunted in reverse by slime, who had been hunting mercilessly without any inspiration.
That is the true meaning of jugaekjeondo.

[Game news of the day! This is Lee Na-young from TVG! Nice to meet you guys! Arcadia, the first virtual reality game that is very popular these days! The situation that happened there made the users feel very uncomfortable. Because of the main scenario that took place in a beginner village...]
[I have been active as a game journalist for 5 years and as a gamer for over 20 years. It's the first time I'm seeing it, so I'm really confused. What the hell is the game company thinking...]
Main scenario quest failed.
Deletion of beginner village and change to hunting ground.
And adjusting the ability of the slime.
The series of events that occurred this time had a tremendous ripple effect to the extent that the game community as well as each game broadcast dealt with it in depth.
- Oh, it's really no joke. I deleted it, but it really gets rid of it.
- Game level hahahaha. What drug did the developer take?
-lol. New users who have just started air disintegration jam.
-I know? When you start the game, do you start by digging in the slime den?
-Revive the beginner village, you damn game company.
Users' complaints have already started to spread like wildfire. Who would have ever imagined that the town itself would disintegrate in mid-air and turn into a green slime full of slimes? People's dissatisfaction was enormous in a situation unprecedented in any game.
However, despite the complaints of users, Arcadia's position was firm.
[It is not the company that makes Arcadia, but the users. Slimes won the territorial dispute between humans and slimes, and the result is the current situation. There will be no restoration or adjustment regarding this, and the company will never intervene in a similar situation in the future.]
Infinite possibilities Infinite freedom.
Emphasizing these two mottos, ‘Ah Molang. A developer who throws out ‘Don't go back and change me!'. Still, I did take a few follow-up measures to see if there was a minimum conscience and morality.
[In the future, there will be no beginner villages in Arcadia's 2nd continent, where Korean users are playing, and we will adjust it so that new users can be randomly placed in villages or territories on the 2nd continent. Also.....]
People reacted differently to Arcadia's announcement, but everyone agreed on one thing.
-That novice killer? I don't know who he is, but he's really great.
-agreed. It wouldn't be easy to pull aggro like that while playing.
-Still, people who've seen blood because of him light up their eyes and only go around fooling around with the hooded guy.
-The baby's parents are probably going to live forever.
-Maybe he didn't know that it would go this way too?
The situation where everyone is cursing the mysterious novice killer who created this situation in unison. However, because of the hood worn deeply, no one knew what it was. Only he checks people's reactions and smiles bitterly.
“Well... I didn't know it would turn out like this.”
Jaeyoung disconnected from playing for a long time to take a break. He took a bowl of cold water from the refrigerator, gulped it down, and muttered.
“Ha... It's fun... but what are all the games without countermeasures like this?”
A situation in which the beginner village itself is completely erased and turned into a hunting ground just because one quest has failed. I've played many games so far, but I've never seen a case where even Jaeyoung changes the map itself like this. The aftermath is even more so with the determination to immediately implement it without covering the front and back as if thinking about it later.
-I ate the hidden former quest.
This is one of the beginner village defenders. By chance, I received a related quest by fulfilling the conditions for changing to a hidden class. However, the village NPC who gave the quest has disappeared due to this incident. It's really disappointing. How can I get compensation for this if I contact the game company?
Countless negative aftermaths began to appear on the Internet, starting with a case where a key NPC disappeared after receiving a quest. Not just one village disappeared, but the NPCs that existed in the beginner village and the quests they gave all flew away somewhere in the other world. I don't know, but it was no wonder that the game company employees who planned and developed all of that were sobbing somewhere.
“Ehh... I don't know, but I think a lot of them were split to make that village...”
So, since Jae-young is also a human being, he had no choice but to be stabbed by his conscience. Even if it wasn't intentional... No, it was an act that couldn't be helped for Jaeyoung's own benefit, but there were so many people who saw blood because of it.
“No, but it’s not because I want to do it, the game itself drives me like that, so what should I do?”
Bard of Anarchy.
There were many unfair things from Jaeyoung's point of view because this job he got by chance forced all these plays. Besides
..... Like I'm doing right now.]
A message from the developer as if they expected something like this. Recalling the playful voice that seemed to secretly expect something like this, Jaeyoung calmly organized his thoughts.
“Well, I'm not the bad guy, the crazy developer who made me do this is the bad guy. If you twist something, you can eat it even if it stops.”
Jae-young, convinced that he might be keeping an eye on himself because of this incident, but at least he was not going to punish him, decided to live shamelessly and got up.
Weiying.
Cell phone suddenly rings. After checking the contents of the text message, Jaeyoung frowned and checked the calendar on the wall.
“Has the time already been like that...”
After working so hard on virtual reality, the real time was approaching March before I knew it.
[Seomin University Orientation Date Announcement.]
A full message announcing the orientation date and time for university freshmen. Seeing this, Jaeyoung sighed and scratched his head.
“Well... but I guess I should pay attention to reality first, right?”
A reality that has been neglected since the start of virtual reality. Many people, including Jae-young, were quickly falling into virtual reality because it had a sense of immersion that was incomparable to that of ordinary computer games. Deep enough to forget reality.
“I have to buy new clothes first. I saw Jang at this point...”
After living in that disgusting countryside, he finally went to Seoul, but when he came up, he was stuck only in a capsule, and Jaeyoung was ready to go out.
“Excitement. Let’s all try campus life-.”
Jaeyoung, who left the door humming a strange hum, was filled with anticipation. Life at a lively and lively university, not at a boys' high school in the countryside where you lived in a dull school uniform.
But Jay didn't know.
Seomin University, especially the Department of Computer Engineering, boasts a serious gender imbalance of 8:2.
The fact that it is a male group.
