Chapter 477: Last System Error (3)
All of a sudden, they didnât feel estranged from each other anymore.
âOne way or another this game or this hell will end tonight.â
Sungwoo looked at the camera and smiled. He made a relaxed laugh.
âKyungsoo, letâs go.â
Sungwoo and Kyungsoo walked forward naturally without feeling nervous.
âAlright! Everyone, get ready to go back!â
âPack the aerial weapons and take care of the wounded!â
Everyone started to follow Sungwoo as if it was natural.
As if nothing had happened, they started preparing to go home.
âWow! Itâs finally over!â
âI want to go to sleep quickly.â
All of them chose Sungwooâs choice.
âOf course, I canât end like this. But the system gave me the worst route I didnât want.â
Sungwoo thought that he gave the best punch to the creature that he could not defeat.
âIt doesnât matter what happens now.â
If no one chooses, nothing happens. And the game doesnât work without anyone playing.
Whooooo-
The Messenger lowered its attitude toward the vacant lot where Sungwoo and Kyungsoo were standing. There were familiar faces on the deck such as Jisu and Hanho.
âSungwoo? Is it a real party, isnât it? You are not paying lip service, right? I look forward to it! â
Sungwoo nodded at Hanhoâs shouting. He was serious about throwing a party.
âUgh? Whatâs this?â
But then, strange letters began to appear in everyoneâs eyes.
â $%#@ !%67#
It wasnât the systemâs fault.
âCan you see this?â
The message was unfamiliar to everyone else but familiar to Sungwoo.
â ??%%%&@?!(%67#)
-?????!%$$##%!!&*
â The client-server connection is terminated due to a fatal error. (ERROR CODE:0014231532)
A system error has occurred.
The Messengerâs power was turned off and stopped in mid-air. Everything generated by the game stopped working.
As if he was waiting for this moment, Sungwoo took out the âImoogiâs Scaleâ from his pocket. It was hot.
âAre you finally here?â
An âunidentified helperâ, which had no presence, finally decided to intervene.
âItâs all over now. I donât think youâre just trying to give me a useless hint this time, are you? As promised, tell me how to destroy this game,â Sungwoo said sharply as if he was fighting.
Then something amazing happened.
âItâs time to bring the system down.â
The voice of the one who caused the system error was heard.
***
What is the essence of this game?
Everyone has questioned it at some point.
Who caused this, and why?
Why should we have to go through this?
But they had to hold back such questions because they were busy surviving day to day.
Survivors explored âhow do I kill monstersâ rather than questioning âwhere did they come from?â, and focused on âhow they could obtainâ rather than âhow they worked.â
It was natural. So, they became a âplayerâ.
âIs it almost over now?â
But now they couldnât help but ask.
âGiven that they are appearing like this, right?â
The last chance has come. If they didnât know now, they would never know.
Sungwoo raised his head and looked into the air. He couldnât see anything, but he could see that something was there.
âWhat was that voice just now?â
âWhat else is showing up?â
Other players also raised their heads and looked around.
âWhat the heck is the system error?â
âThe relaxation magic is not working!â
They could hear the voice that said it was time to bring the system down.
Soon the voice was heard again.
The voice of a woman was echoing through the air. Unlike any passive intervention until now, she has revealed herself in person. Even though she knew the system was watching her, she appeared openly, blindfolding the system.
The players began to whisper here and there. It was a strange situation for them.
While everyone was looking at Sungwoo, he asked, âNow? What is different now?â
As soon as he heard her words, he realized right away that this was not the rhetoric of some great being. A human-like being was trying to persuade him with his emotions. And such beings didnât do good for free.
âShe isnât doing this for pure goodwill. She will gain some benefits by helping us.â
Sungwoo leaned against the dragon with his arms crossed as if he wanted to show he was not in a hurry. So, he was going to make the demands on his terms first and last.
âGreat. Putting out the fire first is a priority. But even so, shouldnât you at least tell me who you are and your nickname?â
Sungwoo thought that at least for the last moment, he wouldnât be a chess piece on the game board.
âBefore I can cooperate with you, we need to know each otherâs position, right? Please tell me briefly. Why are you trying to destroy the system?â
âThen, try to make me understand even for a short moment. As someone who is good enough to create such a huge game, you know how to summarize your point, right?â
Sungwoo was determined not to cooperate with her if she could not say what he wanted to hear.
She hesitated.
She was now making the case for justice just like so many brazen humans.
Sungwoo felt again that they were not absolute beings.
âThen, are you something like a civic group that fights for human rights or the environment?â
Now Sungwoo solved the mystery. They were a âraceâ no different from humans, living in a complex society.
