How the Villain Lives

1. Common settings?

A bright light began to envelop the surroundings.

I closed my eyes and fell into a place I had never seen, instead of a white space that I had become quite familiar with in an instant. Ancient medieval buildings that can be found in movies or novels. Sung-hoon slightly bowed his upper body and was prepared to pull out his sword and swing it. Shortly after I finished eating, I felt a little unclean in my stomach, but I didn't feel so deep.

Jerry's last words went through his head.

'Then I will give you one advice before starting the mission in full.'

'Save your life.'

The ear was open while passing the elongated food down the throat to fill the hungry stomach.

'This situation follows the format of the game, but it doesn't mean it's a real game. If you die like a game, you can't come back to life a few times. There is only one resurrection permitted in The Mission. Advice and rules to be circulated as absolute invalidity. Save your life.'

He has already killed three people since the beginning. There was nothing I knew about the world of The Mission.

Maybe it was a tournament format that pushed a few people into the room like the first time and repeated until one person was left. And among those who will meet again this time, there may be those who will not hesitate towards people like themselves. But fortunately, if it is like a city with open skies and open everywhere, at least like yesterday..

Whoops!

"What, what?!"

"Argh!"

"You bastards! Please let me out of here!"

People began to appear at the same time as the bright light appeared and disappeared from there. They were all alike, but one thing was the same. A man wears a green shirt and pants and a woman wears a blue shirt and a skirt. This outfit is for beginners who have completed and received the tutorial.

However, some of them had short swords and others had bows. Some people used wickedness to spit out grudges, while others sat down and burst into tears. After a while, however, no other phenomenon occurred.

The quest window did not appear, nor did monsters appear.

In the meantime, Sung-hoon suddenly became enlightened as if he had been struck by lightning.

'Damn it, it's not the time to die here.'

Jerry said the world of missions is beginning. When I heard that, I was terrified, but at the same time I said that the first city was the starting point. Tutorial Quests, Rewards, then what do you do next?

It was a full-fledged start, as Jerry said.

Whatever the format of the game, the important thing was to move first.

"It follows the format of the game, but it's not a real game? On the contrary, it means that some form of game follows. There may be a quest to give a good reward to the mover first. It's not the time to spend foolishly. '

Sung-hoon jumped quickly and began to leave the position.

From those who guarded their surroundings with dumb pupils to those who seemed to be companions in between, Sung-hoon did not have time to care about such things. Certainly the name of the city was well suited.

Curved buildings. And Sung-hoon soon found a goal.

A building with an antique signboard with the word Mission. As if someone were chasing him, Sung-hoon entered the building like lightning.

The building was pathetic. He was the only one who walked in the door right now. After a brief tour of the surrounding area, Sung-hoon began to approach the desk while coughing.

"Thank you for coming to the first city mission. Dear Player!"

"Oh, yes."

"What can I do for you?"

"No, that's..."

I had no choice but to push it into a corner of Koi, whether it be a title like "First..." or a little special for the first user.

"Can you tell me what you're doing here?"

"Yes, the Mission Station assigns quests to players."

"Quest."

Mission Station grants quests. He said with his thoughts engraved in his head.

"I'm sorry, but there's a lot I don't know yet. Can't you get me this first city map?"

"You can buy maps from the General Store."

"Yes… I guess. Hahaha. Can you tell me where to hunt after asking this question?"

Once you know the location of the hunting ground, you can go far ahead of everyone else. Don't you at least have strong basic equipment and skills now? Then the counselor smiled brightly and began to pull something out from below.

"You want a hunting quest? Since you are a novice, you can receive quests such as Removing Rats and Sparrow. How about a wild dog hunt if you want a little crowd?"

"It's okay. I just need to know where the hunting grounds are. I don't intend to receive the quest yet."

"You have to get a quest to hunt."

"Yes? What does that mean?"

Counsel replied with a smile to Sung-hoon's embarrassed expression.

"Monsters don't exist in the first city."

"So if you want to hunt, don't you have to leave the city?"

"There's nothing out of town. To be precise, you can't leave the city. The city is the whole world. If you want to earn a Guild, you can receive a quest to complete the mission."

It took me a while to understand this. However, shortly afterwards, I was able to understand what the counsellor meant.

"Can you get rid of Rats Quest?"

"It's possible."

Removal of rats.

Rating: E

There are a lot of rats in the warehouse and they're in trouble. Deal with the flock of rats in the Storage.

Achievement conditions.

1. Catch Rats: Catch 5 Rats (0/5)

2. Hunter: Catch 20 Rats (0/20)

3. Carnager: Catch a hundred rats (0/100)

Base Reward: 500 Guild, Reputation +1 (Reward will be added depending on your achievement).)

Slayer Difficulty First Clear Bonus: +1 Bonus Stat Points

The reward was nothing.

However, the word "first clear bonus" next to it came to my attention first.

You have received the rat herd removal quest. Go to the mission location.

Whoo-hoo!

"Damn it. Are you sure this is the only move?"

When I closed my eyes, I realized that this time I was moving into a huge building that I had never seen before. Soon after checking where he was, Seong Hun sighed and hesitated to sit down.

The mission was no longer a world worth living in, as he thought. At first, I thought it was a world of open-world formats. But that was not it. As the advisor said, the first city cannot escape.

And there was only one way to get a quest to earn a guild or become stronger.

'If Jerry's words are true, there must be transcendent beings watching the players. And how do you carry out this mission, how powerful do you think you are to decide to become your successor?'

"Anyway, I don't have time for this to spread out here."

It reminds me of the first clear bonus in the reward box. Everything else is wrong, but at least if you move fast, the prediction that there will be something to be rewarded is right. It was a very unfriendly game with no level and no advice on how to boost stats.

The only way to earn stats found in such games.

As soon as possible, you should monopolize as many stat points as possible.

'I'm not the only one with a head back. A simple quest like this comes out of nowhere. We must move as quickly as possible.'

Take a picture?

"There you are!"

Sung-hoon waved his sword without hesitation toward the place where the sound was heard. However, it struck the ground wildly and bounced a piece of stone. The rat, which was a little distant from the sword, suddenly disappeared into the darkness.

Take a picture!

"Are you not there?!"

Soon after, Seonghun, who was repeating his struggle with his sword, stood up with his sword as a staff. It has a slightly lower stamina than the general public even though it receives a title bonus. With such stamina, I quickly got tired of swinging my sword with my back bent.

After several repetitions of resting and moving, Sung-hoon brushed his teeth, wiping away the sweat from his forehead.

"Shit, I didn't think it was easy to catch rats."

I got used to killing in the starting room. However, the experience did not help in catching rats. Rat grabbing, which is usually considered to be one of the basics in the game.

But in reality, the rat had enormous difficulties. Rather, it was not difficult to deal with enemies of any size. However, catching a little rat cub in this big warehouse was a terrible quest.

And at the same time, I got creepy on my back.

"Obviously the quest fulfillment condition..."

Catch five rats with the lowest achievement. However, if you look at what you're doing, I wonder if you can catch at least five rats. Besides, I didn't even know how to stop the quest.

This is consistent with the saying that you can't leave this Storage forever if you don't complete the quest.

I was lucky to buy food and drinking water. If I did wrong, I could have caught a rat here and starved to death. Seong Hun, who was filling his mouth with a feeling of thirst, opened up the inventory.

Water and food are what make up the inventory. Realizing that the item he was looking for was not in the inventory, Sung-hoon began to search the coat.

This is an expensive coat that I bought for 3,000 guilds. It has defenses that barely go beyond leather armor, but it is possible to store items such as daggers and potions safely in your coat pocket.

As he stomped his hand in his arms, he grasped a potion with a clear liquid in his hand.

Lowest Poison.

Rating: Normal ().

Type: Potion.

A poison made by combining the finest poisons. Decreases physical ability and deals lasting damage. We don't have enough kill power, but if the target is a small animal, we can knock it down without a problem.

This is it.

I looked around just in case. There was no food in the warehouse. Unknown clumsiness. With confidence in his plan, Sung-hoon finally took out the potion.
