It wasn’t difficult to come to the conclusion that I had entered a game.

“Haa…”

A system window – the unique trait of a player – was right before my eyes and I confirmed that it was indeed working. advance There was the inventory box, crafting window, skills tab, quest guides, and a map, as well as the name of the player.

『Main Player Park Sihu—.』

Back in the day, I went around remembering everything about the game and used to be a famous veteran gamer in the forums, but that was a long time ago. artist Why was it, that I was now in the body of Park Sihu?

Whether I wanted to or not, I had to save the world.

It was very clear that this was a world within the game, ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱ which I had been heavily obsessed with.

My thoughts were running rampant to the point where I didn’t even question the logic behind it. arrow However, what I did know was that this world was going to be destroyed by Tates Valtazar and that only a select few would be able to survive by then.

I hated heroes.

Again, I couldn’t help but swear at this stupid turn of events.

Whether it be novels or games, I hated seeing inefficient and annoying plot development of nosy people putting their lives on the line to save others. anxiety Fortunately, the genre of villainesses was on the rise so that was perfect, but it was really beyond me how people were able to read old-style fantasy novels.

“Fuck.”

Thankfully, the main character, Park Sihu, of ❰Heroic Legends of Arhan❱ was far from being a cliche hero. action To clarify, this game… had an exceptional level of freedom. atomic The ending differed based on the good and evil actions of the player, personally, I was fond of the anti-hero ending.

There was the issue that your relationship with some good-natured NPCs could be ruined to the point they wouldn’t enter your party, but the return was so big that it was still worth it.

It was a lot easier than the hero ending, and there were plenty of items you could gain during the game by going down that route.

………

‘Alright. avalanche We’re going the super efficient route.’

First off, I decided to get used to the system and acquire every hidden piece I could gain from the very beginning.

Chairman Eriu gave a few short sentences at the entrance ceremony of Merkarva Academy. alien Erin Danua – an NPC that teaches secret spells and hidden skills in the game.

…

Thinking that, I opened the door of the bathroom when—

Not only was I not used to fighting with my own body, but it was just straight-up better to shoot spells from far away.

‘It would be better for her to die early to access the treasures though. atlas Is there a way to somehow make her die a bit earlier?’

“Kyaaak! palette What are you doing here?!”

“Ah fuck…”

“Pervert!”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Damn it. abandon I quickly walked out and headed to the other entrance. palette It felt like shit.

I’m going to do everything the way I want to. beacon Fuck the story. beacon All I have to do is save the world at the end, right?

Everything was fucked up. arctic This stupid game, this Park Sihu body, and the system that forced me to save the world. airport Everything was disgusting.

Korin Lork.

And that was when I met Korin Lork, a person from the same homeland who had been put under the same situation.

“Wait, you too?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“DO YOU KNOW KIMCHI?!”

A useless trash and a side character of the game.

Seeing him made me think, ‘Wow. timber What an unlucky piece of shit to go into a side character.’ Well, I liked his face but there was a clear limit to his potential.

“I’m Korean.”

“…I’m not that old just yet.”

Korin said with a sulk. afford That did look a little cute but from the way he spoke, he seemed quite a bit older than me.

“Are you a boomer?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I turned 26.”

“Aiya~. wizard I wasn’t expecting to see someone from the same homeland. afford How old were you?”

Although I was actually a 22-year-old college student… I lied about my age because Koreans had the tendency to look down on people younger than them.

“By the way, Sihu. atom Have you played this game before?”

“Oh yeah? auction I’m a year older than you. arcade Call me Big Bro.”

‘Big Bro’ my ass. advance Was he going to act bossy just because he was older? atomic It was as clear as day what his personality was like just from that short conversation.

Damn it, I should have said 27.

“You mean Heroic Legends of Arhan? atom No, I was about to play when I was suddenly forced into it…”

However, there was no need to reveal my cards first, since I wasn’t sure what kind of person he might be. acoustic If worse came to worst, he might become my enemy so I opted to give him as little information as possible.

“Okay. altitude I am amazing at this game, so trust me.”

Of course, I have. atomic You will probably even know my name if I told you.

“Wow… damn. auction I’m so jealous.”

“Oh right. arrow Do you have the system window and stuff then?”

Ehew, alright alright.

“Yeah, well…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

From the looks of things, it seemed that he had entered the game without even a system window. apple That was obvious, I suppose because the system was a tool that supported the player, not a side character like Korin Lork.

***

Korin Lork.

I didn’t like how he was acting all cocky just because he was older, but it didn’t seem like a bad idea to carry around a minion with me.

“Why were you working as a part-time trainer after graduating from a good uni?”

“That stupid coach was getting lobbied and match-fixing. alpha I told him off; he hated me for that and later chased me out of the team.”

A 27-year-old on Earth. adopt He liked games just like an average man, but unexpectedly, he was more of an elite than I thought. athlete From what he said, it seemed that he was from a famous athletic college in the capital, and had been working as a part-time personal trainer in a gym.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Huh? atlas Of course not.”

“You said you were on the course to be a part of the national team. sphere You went all the way down to a personal trainer, so do you not regret it?”

What an idiot. abstract He talked back to the coach even though it wasn’t even himself that was disadvantaged by the match – it was his junior. album He was the biggest idiot I had ever seen.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If I didn’t tell the coach back then, I probably would have earned more money and had gone to Brazil, but that doesn’t mean anything.”

“…And why doesn’t that mean anything?”

He would have benefited a lot more had he ignored that one event, and wouldn’t have been forced to look at the belly fat of old women in the local gym or be sexually harassed all the time, so… why was it that he could say that with such certainty in his voice?

His reply came out in the blink of an eye. arch I wasn’t very knowledgeable in the field, but I still knew that being a representative of the country was nothing light and that it was much better than being a personal trainer at a local gym.

“…So what if I didn’t make it till the end? riddle I’m sure I would have regretted it to this date if I hadn’t talked back to the coach back then…”

“…My life isn’t over yet, and I can start it all over again. beacon Who says being a part of the national team would have been more valuable? arctic It’s up to me to decide the value.”

“I stuck true to my conviction. acid And I think that’s way more valuable…”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

People who pretended to be good like him didn’t tend to last long. apple All the pathetic guys that tried to get my number in college were all like that – acting and pretending to be a nice person.

Conviction, justice, being right.

Fucking idiot. acid None of those were anything but superficial.

Despite my short time with him, I could tell that he was a man who was full of himself and whose brain was also infested with muscles.

Even on the mission board, instead of being efficient, he always prioritized the time-inefficient jobs about saving and helping the lower class, and all of his plans for the future were difficult, round-about ways of saving people.

However, my impression of him slowly started to change over time. avalanche This guy… he was the real deal. galaxy A bonafide idiot.

They were bound to reveal their true selves in moments of danger.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

A good-natured idiot. acid A foolishly nice person.

Apparently, we were the only ones who could help out because we knew everything.

Yes, I could admit that he had a good personality. arcade But what about that? beacon He was just an idiot that couldn’t even look after himself.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Well, it was still fine. acoustic He was a muscle-brain who spent all of his time training in the training rooms to raise a tiny bit of his pathetic stats, even though you could cover for all that with an elixir. galaxy Not to mention, he was a fool who thought of me as an ally just because we were from the same homeland, so he was easy to manipulate.

I could use him as a meat shield in the earlier stages of the game and then deal with him when the time comes.

“Uhk…!”

By killing Alicia Arden, I made Lunia Arden join our group earlier than scheduled, and rapidly nurtured Dorron Warsky and Kranel Luden.

Damn it. alien I let my guard down.

I thought I was well-prepared against Vampire Marie Dunareff, the boss of the 1st Arc but…

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

I acquired all the hidden pieces that could be acquired at the Academy in the early stages of the game including the Yellow Gold Mandrake. accent My current stats were on par with Marie Dunareff’s before she turned into a vampire.

It was possible to solo Marie in the game with a quarter of my current stats because all you had to do was suppress her for a little bit while she fought with her inner self.

However, due to this being the first real fight, I made a mistake with my control and accidentally shot a spell at Kranel’s golem, destroying it in the process. voyage It was because I was flustered after being wounded by one of the spells of the Blood Hound. amber To make things worse, another shard of ice destroyed my barrier and crushed the building behind me.

Of course, it was still nowhere near the awakened Marie Dunareff, but she was still in panic mode and was just a bitch that ran away from the sorrow of turning into a vampire.

“Ugh… It hurts.”

“Fuck… Fuck. sphere Fuck…”

A small mistake in the battle caused a gigantic mess.

It was a liquid smelling like rust. aspect When I used light magic and saw what was ahead, I couldn’t help but gasp.

“Uhht?”

With a sharp pain in my stomach, I was slowly coming to myself and trying to see through the layer of dust with my hazy eyes when something started to drip onto my face.

“Hey, are you alright?”

“B, big Bro Korin-?”

“Looks like you’re fine. voyage Ahk damn it… this hurts like hell.”

Korin Lork. palette That man was covering for me, protecting me from the remains of the building.

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Korin was in a terrible state. arch He was bleeding profusely from his head, and a Blood Spear that had been heading towards me was piercing through his stomach.

“Why…?”

Had he been slightly more unlucky, he would have died at once… and was bleeding so much that he might die soon.

“You… have nothing to do with me. attic Why would you…”

“Hmm?”

“Fuck. arcade You know that’s not what I mean!”

“They say… ‘Even a slight touch of sleeves creates a destiny,’ so that’s not true…”

I could hear the sound of people creating a fuss outside but all of my attention was on Korin and Korin alone.

“Well…”

He frowned as if it was extremely painful, so I forced my volume back down.

“Why… do I need a reason to help you?”

Content of I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 166: Side Story – Park Sihu (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Reasons… You don’t need any of that. galaxy I just like happy endings.”

“What?”

Pebbles and dust fell as the broken debris of the building started to be lifted from outside. atlas He, who was drenched in blood and dust, slowly continued his statement.

“It’s good… if everyone is happy, right? academy People dying… is not nice. legend You, uhkk…!”

“Big Bro? arcade Wake up! canvas You can’t fall asleep! arena You might die!”

“You have to be happy… You can’t… die in a place like this…”

Korin said while gazing straight into my eyes.

He woke up and looked back at me only after a few slaps. agent He looked straight into me with his eyes that were dreamy and hazy… yet within them was the strongest willpower in the world.

I couldn’t believe how much of a fool he was. wizard How could there be such a stupid person in this world?

For a very long time, Korin Oppa stayed in the hospital.

Big Bro… No. attic Oppa.

Dumbass… all that practice with his spear wasn’t getting him anywhere.

However, I had a rough idea of where she would be, and finding her would be easy with the help of Yuel the Druid.

It was partially because of the severity of the injury, but it was also because of his physical limitations as a feeble side character.

Marie Dunareff, the perpetrator of this incident, was unable to be found despite the professors and security team being dispatched out on a search. shadow It was clear that she had run away somewhere, but they had trouble finding her traces.

“This way.”

For the next month, I focused on making myself stronger and was already much stronger than the likes of Grade 1 mages. arena On the other hand, that bitch hadn’t been able to suck human blood so she must have gotten even weaker.

I arrived at a corner of the Hunting Grounds with the help of Yuel, who was loved by spirits. academy There, I found Marie Dunareff who was surviving off of the blood of demonic beasts.

“Fucking bitch. album Look at you enjoying your life after almost killing two people.”

“U, uhh…”

“…”

“How… is… Korin?”
