This Is Not a Game Chapter 47

Who else besides me?

[The Girl Who Wants to Be Saved] The quest had a few differences from the quests I’ve done so far.

The fact that it is a chain quest, not a general quest, that the client clearly understands what situation the client is in and what they need because of the previous quest, and the most important thing is that the grade and goal of the quest itself are ambiguous. .

[The girl who wants to be saved]

-Civilization classification: M-5

– Civilization Rating: 0.82

-difficulty : ??

– A girl who barely survived after defeating an unidentified monster. However, far more dangerous and ferocious monsters roam the mansion. Save a girl in a desperate situation in your own way.

-Clear conditions.

1. Girl’s Salvation: ??

A ridiculous situation where the difficulty and reward are all marked with question marks.

It’s not a big problem because I had the experience of facing the monsters in the mansion while I was dying 999 times, so I could get a sense of it to some extent, but it was a serious problem in that it became uncertain whether or not to try again.

‘General quests return to Earth if they fail without the right to re-challenge. But this quest has no grade.’

Whether it is possible to use a re-challenge ticket with a specified grade and usage for a quest with an unknown grade, or if it cannot be used, whether this quest can only be challenged once, everything is uncertain.

I thought about asking other users, but the idea that I shouldn’t get involved with other users as much as possible prevented that.

That thought did not change even after meeting other users.

The meeting with Kang Chang-seok was relatively smooth, but it was because he made that decision.

If he had had hostile thoughts, he could have been incapacitated or killed without even the slightest resistance.

‘You cannot leave your life to the whims of others. I avoid interacting with other users until I gain enough strength to at least protect myself.’

Having made up her mind, Yooseong packed all her supplies and chose the quest at the top of the list.

[Starts ‘The Girl Who Wants to Be Saved’]

[Activate the Deus Ex Machina program]

[Specification of dimensional coordinates and completion of Ariadne’s thread connection]

[Perform the movement of the spirit child]

“haha!”

Staggering legs, a body drenched in sweat, a heart beating so violently that it wouldn’t be strange if it exploded at any moment, and a sharp pain running up both arms.

I just want to give up everything and sit back and relax like this.

But Aris couldn’t do that.

Kwak!

“Oops!”

Aris, who tied her tattered arms tightly with thorns, moved on again.

‘Yooseong-nim will come to help.’

Yoosung did not give up and defeated the monster even after suffering 999 deaths.

Aris, who watched the process from the beginning to the end, knew better than anyone else how difficult and painful Meteor was.

Would you give up the life you saved so much because of this level of pain?

It is impossible.

If you can’t run, walk, if you can’t walk, crawl.

That was the only way to repay Yuseong even a little bit.

Clap! Clap!

However, Aris knew very well that this escape would not last long.

The sound of footsteps approaching little by little.

The moment she saw the archaic type of living armor approaching her, Aris collapsed in fear.

“Heh, hehe!”

No matter how determined you are, the reality is harsh.

As soon as I saw the body that did not move in fear, and the living armor that came close to my nose and raised the sword, tears flowed naturally.

‘… Yoosung.’

I’ve done enough to do this.

Just as I was about to give up everything and accept death, I heard a familiar voice.

– I saved him through all the hardships, but I feel sad when he gives up so easily.

At that moment, regardless of her will, Aris’ body began to move.

Aris, who swung both legs like a windmill to get up from her seat and avoid the attack, raised her arms and naturally took the jockeying ceremony.

And within a second, both arms stretched out again.

“Pa, arm…”

– It’s dangerous!

Yuseong, alerted by Aris’ warning, threw his body backwards and narrowly avoided the sword that was being swung toward his chest.

‘Damn, was it really this painful? And why is the situation so urgent?’

After experiencing 999 deaths, I didn’t know when the miasma rose up, but the moment I entered Aris’ body again, I realized how crazy I had been.

A severe injury to the extent that the skin is torn and muscles are exposed.

There’s a certain level to showing your guts, but it’s impossible to fight properly with these arms.

‘It’s hard to hold tools. If that’s the case, I’ll have to use my legs…’

Clap! Clap!

Was it because he was angry at the way he avoided attacks like a loach?

The trajectory created by the living armor’s sword began to change even more closely.

It was an attack that was difficult to even react to with Aris’ abilities, but just before the blade touched her body, Aris’ body moved at an unprecedented speed and evaded the attack.

‘do!’

A strengthening treatment skill that raises all stats related to the body by 50 points.

Aris, who seemed like she would collapse if hit with it, raised her abilities to the level of a decent athlete, so she was able to dodge Living Armor’s attacks without much difficulty.

The problem is how to inflict damage.

Even if his physical abilities improved somewhat, he would not be able to do any damage even if he slammed the dark moon type 16 into an armor made of iron.

Yooseong, who was rolling his head, instantly brightened his eyes.

‘If it’s that skill…’

I’ve never tried it, but in theory it’s possible.

Kwajik!

Yooseong narrowly missed the sword swinging vertically, jumped up on the sword and arm embedded in the ground, and lightly placed his feet on the chest of the Living Armor.

An absurdly large action, the moment the Living Armor was confident of victory and was about to grab his ankle, a heavy sound resounded like a drum beating.

Tung!

“This works.”

Droopy living armor.

Originally, it is common sense to spread fa-kyung through fists or palms.

It was because the hands were the most suitable part to tune and release qi.

However, Yuseong hypothesized that if he had the Mystic Eye of Truth, which could see the flow of energy and sympathize with it, he would be able to use other parts of the body, even if it wasn’t necessarily his hands, and he was successful.

‘If you can use it with your feet, you can also use it on your shoulders, knees, and even your whole body…’

“Ugh.”

Yooseong, who returned to reality due to the excruciating pain rising from both arms, stumbled and rose from his seat.

First of all, it was to heal the wounds.

– Yoosung! That’s Yoosung right?!

“Who else but me will come to help you?”

-···I believed that Yooseong-nim would definitely come back.

“We’ll talk about it later. Let’s move somewhere.”

Yooseong, who looked around the hallway for a while, approached the door that looked as shabby as possible.

‘In the first place, with Aris’ power, it’s impossible, but…’

Strengthen your strength as much as possible with Magical Enhancement, and use Pain Cut to momentarily block your senses and swing your arms.

Dark Moon 16th. wind blowing.

Kwajik!

Yoosung broke the wooden handle at once and went inside, closed the door roughly, and looked around.

A small room with only a few pieces of furniture that seemed to have been used as a guest room.

Lying on the bed in the corner, Yuseong opened his inventory and took out the items he had prepared.

[Pay 5,000 Karma Points to retrieve Emergency Regeneration Ampoule (D+) for Major Trauma]

[Pay 100 Karma Points to get Minor Recovery Potion (E)]

[Pay 100 Karma Points to bring out the Minor Conch (E)]

Yooseong loaded the syringe gun with a regeneration ampoule, put the muzzle on his forearm and pulled the trigger.

Fit!

“Kuk!”

The moment the regeneration ampoule entered the body, a burning pain began to rise from both arms.

Pain so severe that you reflexively use Cut Pain.

However, the effect was obvious, and the torn skin regenerated at a visible speed, and the twisted arms and fingers returned to their original form.

After injecting another regenerative ampoule and spraying a recovery potion and a waist top, the arm was able to regain its original shape shortly after.

“I think I will live a little longer.”

Yooseong, who completed the confirmation by lightly unfolding Amwol 16, nodded with a satisfied smile.

-Yoosung!

“Surprised! Lower your voice.”

-Ah, sorry… No, that’s not it, Mr. Yoosung! what was that just

“Cure. I made it that way, and it looks like I can’t do anything with that injury, so of course I have to treat it.”

-That’s right. Thank you very much. After all, Yoosung-nim…

“Wait, let’s make this clear before we go. Accepting the request for more help was just an accident, it wasn’t my intention. The reason I came back was just to get information. Got it?”

Somehow, I felt like I had become a tsundere, and my face was burning, but I still couldn’t help but say this.

-yes!

“…You understand me correctly, right?”

– Of course I understood everything!

Whatever the circumstances or purpose, Yoosung eventually came to his aid.

The only thing that mattered to Aris was that fact.

“Well, okay. How long has it been since I disappeared?”

– It’s been a while. 5 minutes?

“Five minutes.”

The time scale between Aris’ dimension and Earth is nearly 1:1.

However, while almost two months passed on Earth, only five minutes had passed in this world.

‘It’s an extremely biased magnification that can’t be compared to anything I’ve experienced so far. Was the time multiplier arbitrarily adjusted the moment I accepted the additional quest?’

In fact, if the time scale of 1:1 had been maintained as it was, it would have been impossible for Aris, whose arms were in tatters, to survive in this mansion.

After checking, Yoosung lowered his head and looked down.

A slender girl’s body that hasn’t changed since the first time I saw it, and a dress stained with the monster’s blood.

Yooseong, who repeatedly opened and closed his fists for a while, soon made up his mind and opened his mouth.

“Can I ask you a few questions?”

– As much as you like!

“What were you thinking when you caught that monster and asked me for more help?”

-I was afraid to be left alone, so I wanted Yoosung to stay and help me.

“I wanted you to help.”

I don’t ask you to kill the monster or escape from the mansion, I just want you to help me innocently.

It was only then that Yoosung realized why the grade of this quest was marked with a question mark.

‘He asked me to do this or that, and he didn’t set an exact purpose, but vaguely hoped for help, so the purpose wasn’t set. Does that mean that the level of difficulty changes depending on what choice I make within the category of salvation?’

Salvation.

The dictionary meaning is to rescue someone from difficulties or danger.

Just as there is a saying that if you wear it on your nose, it is a nose ring, and if you wear it on your ears, it is an earring.

To put it in the extreme, taking one’s own life, refusing to let the monsters hurt you or die a painful death, could also be called salvation.

‘Easy and quick. And that’s how miserable the clear rank will be.’

Of course, I had no intention of choosing such an option.

At least, I was thinking of reaping results that would not feel like a waste of effort and preparation.
