I Killed an Academy Player

I killed the player.

***

He was one hell of a fucker.

3 years ago, I woke up as a game character,

As a side character at that.

As expected of a game, it had an enormous setting filled with all sorts of crises and events, including even the destruction of the entire world, but it was fine!

『Heroic Legends of Arhan』

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Because the protagonist would solve it all!

“…Slow development… hate… fast plot… I’ll live for myself… efficiency……”

There was nowhere to run, and it’s not like I could avoid things from happening by leaving this continent, so let’s watch the story unfold from the side~ was what I thought.

At least let’s have a look at the face of our dear protagonist, Park Sihu, who was now destined to have both wealth and fame but——

“…”

****

Park Sihu was a ‘possessor’ like me.

Wait, you too?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I had also seen most of the various endings and this informational advantage was an extremely significant merit.

As a previous player and a diehard fan of ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱, I knew the game story by heart and had gotten most of the hidden pieces.

Because I had played this game quite a lot.

The difference between him and I was that Sihu was the protagonist, the player, and had access to the ‘status screen’, the privilege of the playable character. anxiety It was unfortunate that Sihu had never played this game before, but that was something I could handle.

What if instead of a ‘game over’ screen, it straight away led to my life being over?

However, most of the items were unobtainable without the player’s status screen and the system, so Sihu just had to use the information I gave him to beat this game.

In this world’s plot, countless people will die without the protagonist and the world will also fall to ruin. galaxy If I perish alongside the end of this world, will I be able to return to Earth?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

We soon realized that I was older than him back on Earth, so it felt like I had a younger brother who would call me ‘bro’ every time, so that wasn’t that bad either. acoustic And although my limit as a side character was obvious, a portion of the items we got using my knowledge was also given to me to supplement my lacking abilities.

The only unfortunate part, I guess, would be that we couldn’t get closer to any of the heroines of the game.

The two of us made a good duo.

With that doubt in mind, I helped Sihu with all my heart and strength. aluminum The kinship of being from the same hometown, and both of us having fallen into a game from Earth, made us the bestest of friends.

Park Sihu – this guy did not interact with any of the heroines and only added them into the party only when they were necessary.

Of course, the girls would show interest in Park Sihu, the player, so I only wanted to watch from the side as a fan but…

There were all sorts of male and female characters in this game, but the romance simulation of the playable character interacting with characters of the opposite gender was also an attractive element of the game.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fuck…”

By the time I realized it, the party was filled with male humans and our party ended up being a sweaty group of men, including Park Sihu and me.

I should have noticed something was off.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

When the mysterious missing incidents caused the story to flow in a direction unbeknownst to me, instead of optimistically saying, ‘You’re doing great, Sihu!’ I should have taken a deeper look into it.

When the final boss of the 1st arc, Marie, had gone missing;

When one of the main heroines, the granddaughter of the Sword Emperor, Alicia Arden, did not show up at the entrance ceremony;

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a familiar staff.

The mind and the personality of the human called Park Sihu, and the oddly unnatural flow of events… I should have doubted them.

If I recall correctly… it was the equipment used by the final boss girl of the 1st arc.

“What’s this?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Why was this here?

A gear of the character who should have been the boss of the 1st arc according to the original plot. abandon Sihu and I had waited for a long time to stop the tragedy, but in the end, could not stop it from happening.

“Wait wait wait…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That wasn’t the end. silence This secretive underground basement not only had the staff but also countless other items put on display like trophies.

The mace of the typical bully character, Jaeger, who picked a fight with the player at the start of the semester.

Back then, I reprimanded myself for lacking the power to change the original plot but… why was this here?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The spellbook of Lark, who got expelled after stealing the mid-sem test papers.

I realised something common.

Don’t tell me…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

This building was Park Sihu’s private property.

Besides, every other item also belonged to those that were related to Park Sihu in some shape or form and most importantly…

Jaeger went missing in a prac after picking a fight with Park Sihu at the start of the semester, whereas Lark was expelled after trying to put the blame on Park Sihu, who excelled in everything he did, out of jealousy.

These were all items of the ones who had gone ‘missing’. action And they were items that belonged to those that… were somehow related to Park Sihu.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was one of the houses that the player could buy in the game, that could be used to store items as an extra storage…

“W, why is this here?”

I could not have imagined that tailing him who suddenly woke up at night would lead to such a result, but there was something else that shocked me the most.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was only one way to obtain this hidden piece in the game – and that was to cause the death event of Alicia Arden in whatever method possible.

A unique single-edged sword was on display like a trophy. canvas The demon-slaying sword that belonged… to the granddaughter of the Sword Emperor, Alicia Arden, an important heroine, who died before the entrance ceremony.

“……Ah.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah, fuck.”

The biggest premise thus far shattered – the premise that Park Sihu had never played this game before.

It gave me goosebumps.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That voice belonged to someone else.

“…!”

“S, Sihu…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You…”

The owner of this horrendous scene, Sihu, was oddly calm. absorb He only appeared slightly annoyed by this whole thing.

“…Why are you here bro?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Calm down my ass!!”

“Bro, calm down.”

I wanted to ask for an explanation questioning what all of this was about, but I could not bring myself to open my mouth in fear of what I would hear in response…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Understanding my point, Sihu tried to persuade me and justify himself.

How could I possibly calm down in a situation like this? academy How can I be calm in the face of something this horrible?

“You… You… You lied to me when you said you couldn’t catch her back then…!”

I pointed at the water-coloured girl that was on ‘display’ in a horrifying state. apple Unlike the sword of Alicia Arden that was stored like a trophy, she… Marie Dunareff was…

“It’s a demon anyway. galaxy You know? apron It’s an enemy. antique And I was just using that as efficiently as possible.”

He smiled and blabbered as if bragging about his achievement.

“…Using?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But ‘using’? admire What do you mean by using!?”

– Shouldn’t she pay for her sins at least?

“She even sucked her own friend. academy And yet she was hiding in the forest crying by herself. harbor Do you know how hard it was? amateur Who knew that stubborn bitch would dig a hole in the forest and stay there for a whole month?”

“…She’s a high-vampire. advance A one-year old that just awakened is at the same level as an elder. altitude Don’t you know what happens when you refine a vampire elder’s blood? echo You had it a lot too, bro.”

“U, uweeekk!!”

His words suddenly made me remember the potions he gave me. admire Those potions, incomparable to common potions, that rivalled low-grade elixirs—

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ayish… Bro, are you okay? adopt Wait a sec. airport Let me clean this up.”

“But wh, why would you…”

Despite babbling about such awful and horrifying deeds, his attitude towards me remained the same and that was the most horrifying of all.

“Of course it’s to progress the story as efficiently as possible.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

All Jaeger did was pick a fight. apron He was just a random bully that was blinded by his own power.

“If I do as you tell me, bro, it’s too slow. alert We have to suffer losses trying to save people and can’t even kill retards like Jaeger and Lark.”

“The story?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

As for Lark? adopt He tried to blame Park Sihu, but all he did was steal test papers. zenith Of course, Park Sihu might have been expelled if things went south but even then…

His eyes went to the corner in response to my words. armor He opened the player’s system window and replied nonchalantly with a smile.

“You… How many have you…”

“It’s the same for the other bitches. echo They’re useless unless you build rapport with them, you can’t take their items and they just party up by themselves. harbor This is the most efficient way to make use of them.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Who knows? silence I don’t think the kill log was over 100k… Ah, three more and I’ll hit 100k.”

I grabbed him by the collar. arctic I could no longer listen to the words of an animal.

“You fucking animal!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Bro, wake up. ability How are these guys people? agent They’re NPCs. galaxy They’re game characters.”

“You, you…! harbor How could you do that to people…!”

“You…!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“And haven’t you been killing people as well? attic There’s nothing new here.”

The people I killed were evil ones that were beyond saving. absorb Main enemies of the story – characters that were designated by the plot as villains.

“Those were guys that tried to destroy the world!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

What makes you say that for sure? admire Who says this is a game or a reality? alien How can you be so certain?

Fuck that.

How was Park Sihu any different from them? alpha This guy did not view people as people.

It was true that ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱ was a game, and the game had NPCs in it. athlete However, are people in this world also NPCs? riddle Can they be killed just because they are game characters?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Trust me. matrix I’m telling you my way is the most efficient gameplay. ability I’m a veteran player at this game.”

I couldn’t trust you before.

That was what he said.

Sorry for not telling you, bro,

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even when the terrorists came to attack,

It was so dumbfounding that I couldn’t say anything. alien Park Sihu was so sure of himself, and in a way, he wasn’t wrong. voyage He had the status screen and could make use of the system however he wanted. agent If he had an informational advantage on top of that, like me, of course he would have used that as efficiently as possible.

He had monopolized all the hidden pieces that belonged to the heroines and profited as much as possible from the events.

Even when the school building collapsed,

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He probably had indeed been ‘playing this game’ as efficiently as possible. antique Over the 3 years I had spent following him, he had indeed solved many cases and problems with ease, including cases that I could not solve due to the limitations of a side character.

This guy profited in whatever method possible. silence He excessively monopolized everything.

Although it was a world within a game, Park Sihu stood firmly as a hero just like the intended story.

Even when a Unique Grade monster attacked the school,

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was a devil. galaxy He had a psychotic gaze that I had never even seen from any of the past villains.

However, the Park Sihu in front of my eyes was no hero.

Hundred thousand… I reflected on the events that had been oddly ‘efficient’ among the countless incidents and the ‘victims’ that I had overlooked. amber There must also be countless massacres that happened outside of my sight.

I realized that all the events which made me think the real world would naturally be different from a game plot were all affected by him.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

All the people were only programmed organisms in his eyes.

Ah I see… so this guy had never considered this world a reality.

This world that I had accepted and adapted to for 3 years was nothing but a virtual world to him.

“Efficiency? arcade Plot? arch Bullshit. acid If you really loved efficiency, why would you take Alicia Arden’s demon-slaying sword? auction Why would you take a hidden piece that’s for knights with your mage build!”

“What?”

“You… just chose the easy way out.”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Stupid and sloppy idiot! athlete Selfish and greedy little pig!

“Fuck! atomic No wonder. matrix It’s because her sister Lunia Arden was so stubbornly chasing after the sword that you couldn’t take it out! canvas You fucking retard. accent Of course you can’t handle it all because you try to monopolize things that you can’t even swallow!”

“That’s…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

All he had to do was tap the screen a few times so what was the point of this horrendous farm? adapt Why was he doing such an inefficient thing?

“Elixir? arctic You fucker. orbit You could have substituted that with other ingredients using your crafting window anytime!”

Was I really hailing this guy as a hero? apron This fucking idiot?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah damn it. admire For fuck’s sake!”

“Efficiency? crystal Don’t fuck with me. airport You just needed a sandbag to quench your psychotic thirst. timber What kind of bitch that loves efficiency exhibits such psychotic proof in a place like this!!?”

Park Sihu struck my face with a seriously irritated look on his face, that was vastly different from his previous persuasive attitude.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What… ugh!”

“You can’t do this to me bro. apple Even if everyone in the world talks shit to me, you can’t do this to me!”

“You’re really driving me crazy bro. autumn You’re driving me insane!”

He grabbed onto my hair and pulled it back.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Oi, what’s wrong with your sentence? arctic Be careful with your choice of words!

“Do you not know why I’m like this, bro? alert Do you really have no idea how you’re driving me crazy!?”

“S, Sihu?”

“Huh, huh…?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He glared at me with passion that I had never seen before. apron It was an extremely burdensome gaze.

“I’m… not gonna hold back anymore.”

“You put your nose into other’s business as a weak-ass and get bashed up. autumn And smirk in front of those sluts…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hikk?!”

It was then. attic He suddenly pushed his head forward as if doing a headbutt on my face.

I instinctively dodged that disgusting mouth. auction I managed to protect my chastity by turning my head, but I could not escape from his burning gaze.

“Ehng?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Uhh, oi dude. orbit What’s wrong with you all of a sudden? accent Huh? acoustic You weren’t like this before. aspect You and I were going through the story till like Episode 199. atom What’s with this sudden drift in Episode 200?!”

“F, fuck! legend I haven’t even dated anyone before, so what’s this shit about!”

“You are mine bro. palette Both your body, and heart. academy Do you think I’ll let those foxes steal you from me?”

“I see… so you had no plans of accepting me huh?”

“They’re just there for looks and they’re not the real one. apple My only real one… is you bro.”

“Uaakk…!”

It gave me goosebumps in a different sense than before. beacon To the point that I needed the physical treatment of mother Russia.

“D, don’t tell me the party is full of men because…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

– Hiiiiik…

“Bro, you… can’t run away. legend I will lock you up. ability Forever.”

I desperately tried to escape, but something suddenly popped out of my shadow and grabbed onto my ankle and made me fall flat on the ground. agent It was his spell.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was terrifying.

By seeing the victims like Marie, Lark and Jaeger, it was not difficult to predict my future.

It wasn’t even this terrifying when I first discovered this place, nor was it this horrifying even when he confessed he was a psychotic lover of fast plot development.

What’s going to happen to me now?

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You! alien You…! aluminum What about my consent! sphere You fucker, what about my consent?! galaxy I’m a heterosexual! alien An unwavering heterosexual!”

In response to my words, Park Sihu grinned and replied with a butter-like voice.

Being alive not in the true sense of the word, and a repetition of pain and curation.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your consent is not important bro. timber You are mine. academy My only real one in this fake world.”

– Chaaakk!

“You’re fucking giving me goosebumps! canvas You crazy fucker!”

The shadow spread its mouth wide open. adopt Right as I was about to lose my consciousness from his spell, I saw him float a crooked smile.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s all almost over now. aluminum After this fight is over, I will have you for myself, bro.”

That was the end of my consciousness. alert I only woke up later thanks to a certain voice that reached my ears.

“Have me?! anxiety Have me for what you bastard!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It seemed that Park Sihu had started the decisive battle with the Last Boss while I was unconscious.

Ahh, so it has begun.

『The Last Stage has been opened. atom The final fight with the Last Boss will now begin.』

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I could easily imagine the horrifying future waiting ahead of me.

………This fucker lost?

Since he loved monopolizing everything for himself, he would probably win against the Last Boss as well… If he really does defeat the final boss… what would happen to me then?

『The Player has been killed. airport You have failed the attempt.』

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

With that, I finished looking back on my past life.

I returned to the past; to 3 years ago.

****

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 1: Kill the Player (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I must kill the player.

And I must kill him.
