Chapter 2 – Episode 2: First Contract
When I woke up after a good night’s sleep, the world on the screen had become a dark night.
But that didn’t mean that darkness had come.
The city was shining brightly with colorful lights and people were busy walking around.
It was so unfamiliar to see so many people walking down the street without worrying about it, so I stared blankly at it.
We know that everyone has their own concerns. At the same time, I have different thoughts.
At least they won’t have to worry about being stabbed or cut off by a scavenger or creature from behind?
Aren’t monsters popping out of the air common?
Only intermittent screams rang out, but there was nothing to fall into a quarrel.
Citizens go their own way after seeing the monster, startled.
However, when the screen was turned, the human crime scene appeared subtly.
Guys rummaging through drunken people’s pockets and female students stealing wallets while slapping people their own age in the alley.
And some areas you can’t see because of the black fog.
“What is that again?”
Cuckoo, try clicking with the mouse cursor. It says that it cannot be observed with the basic function.
Since there are people like me, no beings, did they pay points and cover them?
Considering that some of the places shrouded in fog are motels or private homes, the contracted incarnations may have hidden them for privacy.
Anyway, I’m curious about how contracts work, so I try to buy a 0pt contract.
“Can I just click on it?”
After purchasing the contract, every time I clicked on the people on the screen, a message asking if I wanted to sign a contract started to appear.
It’s a really easy way.
First, let’s do some observation.
※
It was a cheap mattress, frozen fried rice, and canned drinks, but to me it was a richer world than anything else.
There was nothing wrong with not being able to leave the room. At least twice as spacious and comfortable as the basement I was hiding in.
So it seemed that there would be no need to pay tens of thousands of points to enlarge the room while drinking wine and liquor worth over 3,000 points per bottle.
In order to be faithful to the name of luxury goods, luxury furniture, clothes, and props that can be used to decorate a room are
It was on the list at a jaw-dropping price.
The basic point given per month is 1,000 points.
If you buy and eat food worth 10 points or less, such as hamburgers or pizza, you will still have points even if you overeat throughout the month.
Items that were slightly more luxurious were increasing in price tenfold.
In particular, items such as swords and armor looked like industrial products, such as steel swords, starting at 1,000 points and soaring up to hundreds of thousands of points.
You really have to grow from the bottom up.
There was information that could be gleaned by examining the world beyond the screen.
Beings like me are called Constellations, and those who are chosen by us on the other side of the screen are called incarnations.
The donut-shaped land, like the game’s map, gets more dangerous the further you go.
There is an island in the lake in the center of the continent, and the selected incarnations are taken there, educated, and dispatched to various parts of the continent.
There didn’t seem to be many Constellations that started by earning a lot of points from the beginning.
Conversely, constellations with multiple incarnations sometimes support them greatly from the start, as if they have plenty of points.
Still, most of them couldn’t receive a single thing and were only dragged to the center of the continent.
Points go into conversations between constellations and incarnations.
Poor Constellations like me are practically just navigations for incarnations.
Well, the guys who can contract are just like the guide said.
It’s true that it’s true that the souls of geniuses who haven’t developed their talents know from the first battle, and most of them do it quickly.
‘Who should I choose?’
I wanted to start by collecting the 1,000 points given every month while playing and eating here.
As if such tricks were unacceptable, the purchase period and expiration date of the free contract were just one month.
You have to spend 100,000 points to purchase for a fee, so you’re wasting 100 months.
Still, it’s a contractor that will be remembered as the first in a new life, but I didn’t want to pick roughly.
I keep looking at the east side of the continent because I want to look familiar.
It wasn’t because no one noticed.
Rather, they are all similar, but there are too many options, so I wondered if I was full.
First of all, I chose a woman who was familiar with combat and went to the battlefield more according to the Constellation’s words.
In addition, she needs combat training, so I think of the age of late teens to mid-20s, excluding young and old people,
Of course, people with minor blemishes such as obesity, underweight, physical disabilities, and bad eyesight were also filtered out.
Still, there are too many choices, so I chose only the beautiful women with a lot of self-interest.
Even if you choose so carefully, the number of choices marked with the mouse exceeds 1,000.
Whether most of the souls are the souls of selected geniuses, the ratio of handsome to beautiful women makes no sense.
I have to put my heart and soul into choosing just one person, but they all look so good that it gives me a headache.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with filtering this much, but my eyes from looking at the monitor are too tired, so I was thinking about choosing one at random.
I see a person wriggling in the neighborhood where I moved the mouse.
Running out of an old apartment is very ordinary, but for some reason it catches the eye.
It doesn’t look much better than others, but for some reason, it catches my eye.
As I continued to observe it as if watching a documentary, I could roughly understand why I was interested in it.
Because I look so much like my colleague before I locked myself in a cellar in the basement.
After both her parents died, there was a guy who joined the group of survivors holding her sister’s hand.
The guy who spent his time looking through books that were used as kindling fires and reading even a few torn novels.
Is it a self-defense device or really positive? Originally, the protagonist of the novel said that he had a sick sister and overcame her ordeal her.
Even in the world of Apocalypse, which was running towards her destruction her, she devotedly cared for her sister her.
In the end, her sister her, who was weak in her stamina, died because of her contaminated drinking water.
He said that he would be the first creature to retain his humanity even while watching his body gradually change.
I tried my best to lighten the mood by keeping a smile on my face.
It was a futile effort.
In the end, the brother and sister who held the center of the community passed away, and I came out alone from the collapsed group.
Men and women, survivors of a destroyed world and ordinary high school students.
The only thing they have in common is that they live alone with their weaker brother, but
For some reason, the more I looked down at her, the more I remembered him.
The smile of a guy whose name I don’t even remember anymore.
If you incarnate as a person in a difficult situation, you will try harder and treat me with utmost sincerity.
It’s the first incarnation anyway, so it’s right that you have to choose according to your heart.
I chose her with an excuse close to her self-justification of her.
[Write the first contract. Explore the source of the constellation]
[Constellation, lethargic nightmare presents you with a contract]
A lethargic nightmare, is that my name?
At the same time, the list of point shops grows, and an eye-watering N appears.
“Uh, gye, contract!”
The last sentence is visible not only to me, but also to the woman in the screen.
A woman scanning a barcode at a convenience store freaks out and drops her items from her.
The canned coffee made a loud noise as it rolled on the floor, but the customers did not show any displeasure.
“Really? And! Did the Constellation contact you just now?”
“Yes, yes? Yes, a message like that appears in front of my eyes, but… “
“What is the name of the Constellation?”
Two customers in the convenience store and one at the counter forgot to buy something.
Rather, they start making a fuss and talking.
A lethargic nightmare by the way?
They are “Helpless” Because they do not actively fight against destruction.
To conserve energy, most of the time is spent sleeping, resulting in a ‘nightmare’
I feel like the title is hitting me…
While the three of us were talking and searching for things on our mobile phones, I also read the information about the name of the constellation that popped up on the screen.
In this way, information is occasionally popped up on subjects that do not have a search function.
In the fantasy kingdom, the knight who died fighting the monsters to the end was given the name ‘Unextinguished Lamp’.
The scientist who died while researching the virus that destroyed mankind to the end was given the name ‘Unfallen Explorer’.
There are many other examples, but few constellations were directly expressed.
‘Is it a rule to use figurative expressions?’
If I had to point out something a little unusual, it was that like the incarnation, most of the Constellations had their standards for men/women in my opinion changed.
Because the last prince of the ruined kingdom was given a name like ‘a flower that never fades’.
“Eh, lethargic nightmare… No search results. Isn’t it bad to be the first incarnation?”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, it is. Unless you’re a famous Constellation with a lot of support, it’s better to start together. If it becomes something like the 4th or 10th incarnation somewhere in the middle, the support is not full, but the interest is divided. Why, there is a saying that only one is better than the best one.”
Is there even a database of constellations, and was there such a thing? I was looking down at them.
Convenience store part-timer, office worker full of dark circles, and a bully man wearing a shortened school uniform are bizarre.
“Oh right, please accept it quickly. You’re not saying you’re crazy, are you?”
Perhaps they know each other, when a male student pats her on the back of her, he struggles with her fingers in the air while crying in pain.
I even have a mouse, but it would be awkward for her to touch the letters floating in the air with her bare hands.
[Constellation, lethargic nightmare and incarnation, Han Ye-ji’s contract has been concluded]
As the sentence appears on the screen, Han Ye-ji’s body is wrapped in light beyond the letter.
“Wow, great, great. You see this right in front of your eyes.”
Excuse me, I went through the list again.
N, of course, seems to be an abbreviation for New, and a lot of unseen guys have sprung up.
What stood out in particular was the phrase “The authority of the constellation.”
Not just sending things to Hwashin, but consuming my points to influence them.
That’s why it was definitely expensive. It was a price with one more 0 attached than weapons with blatant names.
“Thank you Constellation, I will do my best!”
The sight of him lowering his head in the air makes me smile.
I feel a slight sense of superiority in the appearance of being liver, gall, and giving everything up
I feel anticipation at the thought of having a conversation with someone who laughs and chats normally.
Blinkingly, a chat input window appears below the computer monitor, which had only a list of point shops displayed.
Are you communicating with the incarnation this way?
Still, I’m glad I’m not talking directly into the microphone.
I’ve only talked to myself for 10 years, so it’s awkward to talk to other people in a human voice.
I didn’t know what to say, so I just wrote ‘Please take good care of me’ and pressed enter.
That’s why there was not only a mouse, but also a keyboard.
[Constellation, lethargic nightmare greets the first incarnation]
What is it, do you filter even this short sentence?
Is this why you get points for communicating directly?
