I thought you were going to die
It was a pity that the rewards for special quests, which were on a different level from normal quests, would not have been named special if it had always been possible.
‘What are the conditions for creating a special quest? I think it would be possible to grow much faster if you can artificially create special quests. A world where serious side effects have occurred due to user intervention? When the clear rank is accumulated at a certain number of times? Or is it just random?’
I’ve been thinking about it, but it’s impossible to fully grasp the reality with just one case in the first place.
And above all, even if a special quest was created, it was unclear whether it would be possible to carry it out.
[Twisted World] started as an investigation to find out what the special quest was like. Coincidence coincided with coincidence, and I managed to clear it, but if the conditions had not been met, I would have failed the quest without being able to overcome even the first situation.
Yooseong, who abandoned his lingering feelings, began to look through the quest step by step.
“The death squad has decreased a lot.”
Last time I saw it, the number of 160 people in the death squad had decreased to 130 people in the meantime.
Same content as before, more rewards, and more brutal difficulty.
Yooseong, who quietly turned the screen backwards, said [Why did the sky give birth to me, and gave birth to Dalmailgeom, Taegeukgeomjong, Chiwigeomgae, Dokgogeomhwang, Maehwageomsin, Bokhogeomje, Taeheossanggeom, Changhaegeomwang, Sailgeomgun, Bloodseomgwi, and Gunjageomryong? !] I clicked on the eye-catching quest and burst into laughter.
“Puha! what’s this?!”
Even though they are born with a sword talent that only comes out once in 100 years, there are numerous people who are born with a sword talent that only comes out once in 200, 500, or 1,000 years at the same time, and they are unfairly devalued and compared their whole lives. The story of a prosecutor who lived.
However, although the situation was funny, the difficulty was not funny at all.
A bloody level of difficulty where you have to defeat all 11 swordsmen who are considered better than you and be recognized as the greatest swordsman in the world.
The reward was as sure as that, but it wasn’t enough to beat the weight of an A-rank.
[Return to the quest selection window.]
“yes?”
The screen changed to a quest selection window with a message that I had never seen before.
‘Is the quest gone?’
There are two cases that can be considered.
One is that the quest is destroyed because the client changed his name for some reason.
The other one disappeared because another user chose a quest.
It was my first experience, so I was a little embarrassed, but I didn’t intend to do this quest from the beginning anyway, so I immediately checked out another quest.
[Pooh! Please save me!]
-Civilization classification: A-5
– Civilization Rating: 0.72
-Difficulty: D+
– Shapiro, who was working as an acrobat for a circus troupe, was involved in a major crime and was sent to the capital. There was no expectation that he would be released when he went to the capital, but the ship Shapiro was on was swept away by a sudden storm and was in danger of sinking. Help Shapiro escape the sinking ship and board the lifeboat.
-clear conditions
1. Board the lifeboat: 100,000 Karma.
– additional conditions
1. Rescue coworkers: 100,000 Karma when you board a coworker in a lifeboat.
2. Rescue passengers: 50,000 Karma when a passenger is boarded in a lifeboat.
Since he had cleared C- grade quests twice in a row with SSS rank, he could have chosen a C- or even a C-ranked quest, but Yuseong chose a D+-ranked quest.
That’s for two reasons.
One was to accumulate karma points.
Not long ago, I never felt the lack of Karma Points, but after purchasing Tyrant’s arms, I changed my mind.
The karma points that go into purchasing high-ranking skills and artifacts are literally worth billions.
This quest was low grade and had no other rewards, but had the advantage of being able to acquire a significant amount of karma points if only the conditions were met, so it could be said to be the perfect quest for the current situation.
And another reason was for rapid growth.
‘The higher the rank is cleared, the faster the growth.’
Rather than blindly doing high-grade quests, doing quests that allow you to get a high clear rank even if the grade is slightly lower is several times faster in terms of growth rate… … . No, tens of times more advantageous.
The most ideal thing was to get a high clear rank while doing high-level quests, but unfortunately, it was impossible with his current abilities.
[‘Pooh! Please, please save me!” begins.]
[Activate the Deus Ex Machina program.]
[Dimensional coordinates specified and connection of Ariadne’s thread completed.]
[Spirit moves.]
The meteor melted into particles of light and disappeared, and shortly after, the machine placed next to the bed blinked and a sharp voice rang out.
– Check out the community right now. It’s an emergency.
A communication device that Sofia gave you to keep in touch.
However, it was after Yooseong left for a place too far away to be contacted.
* * *
Not all quests are like that, but like the [Twisted World] that I cleared most recently, many of the quests started when my life was on the verge or in a similar crisis.
That’s why, no matter how low the grade, the moment you start the quest, you should never relax.
Make up your mind not to be taken aback by sudden changes, awaken your five senses to get as much information as possible, and sharpen your consciousness so that you can respond optimally in any situation.
I can assure you that as soon as Yooseong started the quest, even if the knife fell right at the top of his head or he was in a situation where he was about to fall off a cliff, he was confident that he would calmly respond without panic.
“Pu-huh!”
However, even if I had imagined starting a quest in a situation right before a crisis, I had never imagined starting a quest in a situation where my life was already in danger.
As soon as I came to my senses, I felt water coming through my mouth and nose, and when I accidentally inhaled, an unbearable pain rose from my chest, as if the water had entered through my airway.
Yuseong, who looked around while suppressing the feeling of coughing and intense vomiting, found an empty space beyond his blurry vision and began to swim quickly.
“Kelluk! Kheuk! Coheo!”
Yooseong, who had been pouring out tears and runny nose along with a strong cough to the point of worrying that his lungs might be protruding, was finally able to afford to understand the situation after a long time.
‘Is it a prison?’
A small space about three pyeong surrounded by iron bars.
If there was a problem, it was that he was trapped inside and that the water was flooded to the point that it almost reached the ceiling.
Yuseong took a deep breath and went back into the water after confirming that the air pocket, which had been about a hand’s length when he came up on the water, had now shrunk to the length of a finger.
‘It’s not something that can be opened by force.’
I tried to pull it, but it doesn’t even budge.
If you use Tyrant’s strength, you can easily branch like sorghum cans, but if you use an A+ grade artifact in a D+ grade quest, your clear rank will hit the bottom right away.
‘Plasma ax… … I can’t do it.’
Even if the blood pouring from the cut surface of the body or the liquid at the level of a shallow stream can be evaporated without difficulty, if a plasma ax is operated in such water, a huge explosion will occur immediately.
Breathing gets tighter and vision blurs.
However, Yooseong, who knew that getting excited would only shorten his life, looked around thoroughly while remaining as calm as possible.
‘That’s it!’
Among all the junk floating in the water, there was a silver keychain.
Clap!
The meteor, which opened the door of the barbed wire with the key snatched from the thorny vine and moved to an area not yet filled with water, lost all power and slumped.
“Ha ha, ha, ha. Lord, I thought I was dying… … .”
[Synchronization with ‘Shapiro’ has been completed.]
[You can use ‘Shapiro’ skills.]
– What, what? Why is my body moving on its own?
“… … Don’t be afraid. I am the apostle sent by the great One who was moved by your sincere faith to rescue you from danger.”
– I’m not religious?
“hi? I am another you who has been sleeping in your unconscious. I borrowed your body for a while to save you in an emergency.”
– I’ve never had a mental illness.
“Oh, little! I’m the one who came to save you, so I’m going to do it roughly and hand it over!”
– Sin, sorry!
There was no time for leisurely persuasion, so Yuseong convinced Shapiro with rough momentum and immediately checked the status window.

‘There are all these jobs.’
Witch, Demonic Cult leader, secret agent, academy cadet, bipedal machine pilot, late index, informant, etc. Even though he had experienced all sorts of jobs, he never expected the job of an acrobat.
Once Yoosung roughly grasped the abilities and skills of this body, he stumbled into the water that reached his waist and rose from his seat.
“Do you know about the structure of this ship?”
-… … Could it be that you are asking me now?
“Then who else is here besides you?!”
– Joe, I know a little bit!
“Where is this on the ship?”
– It’s just above the bottom floor.
“How big is the ship?”
-I do not know? It’s roughly the size of the Burgundy Building.
I don’t know how big the Burgundy Building is, but since I used the term building, it’s definitely not small.
If it is just above the bottom floor, it means that the flooding has not started yet.
There was still considerable time left for the ship to sink.
“Are there other people around here?”
– There is! My colleagues are trapped! Please save me!
Even if you don’t have to ask for it, you have no choice but to save it because of the quest anyway.
Yoosung heard Shapiro’s thanks in one ear and let it flow out the other, opening a nearby door.
Sigh.
“yes?”
The door to the first room was open and no one was inside.
‘I don’t know how he escaped, but if he did, someone else would help. To be unkind.’
Yooseong clicked his tongue briefly and approached the second door.
Fortunately, it was a win this time.
“help me! ask for help! what did i do wrong It’s unfair to be locked up, but to die like this… … huh? Shapiro?”
A girl who looks like a high school student.
When I opened the door with a bundle of keys, a tear-stained girl stumbled out.
“Oh, thank you. I just thought I was going to die without moving… … .”
“Go to the stairs and get some rest.”
“no. We must save others! I’ll help too!”
“Saving people is important, but getting out of here is also important. If you don’t want to spread out and catch other people’s ankles while escaping, calm down and recover your physical strength first.”
Pushing the back of the shivering girl, Yuseong opened the remaining doors and started taking people out.
this is not a game
