Go Into the Muck 55

Chapter 55 – Sword Art Online (23)

[Settlement begins.]
[Original Intervention + 3,000 OP]
[Original transformation + 2,000 OP]
…

Seojun confirmed the total points.
It was definitely less than Soa On, which I had spent years on, but it was not enough to capture all the heroines in a short time, and the points were set quite generously, perhaps because the content of the original was changed.

‘I haven’t been contacted yet.’

Turning on the smartphone to check, there were quite a few absences from Kim Seo-eun, but nothing came recently.
That means it’s not yet complete.

‘Well, then let’s get ready before we get in touch.’

Seo-joon went straight into the store. And he bought traits and skills.

“Inventory”
-Rating: S
-Description: Use the inventory to store or retrieve items at any time.

「Pheromone」

– Can release enhancing pheromones.
-Can emit hallucinogenic pheromones.
– Can release sleep pheromones.

I bought the inventory because I needed it.
Even though it’s S-class, the price went out quite a bit. As far as performance is performance, it was natural.
Next was pheromone, but as expected, there was a feeling that one incubus trait was a little lacking when it came to attracting women.

‘There’s no particular need to buy attributes or skills that enhance me.’

He is strong even now.
To be honest, it wasn’t like this at first.
However, thanks to the tremendous morale ability given to him when he opened the last, last, sixth wing, he was confident that he would not lose even if he fought the entire earth with an honest heart.

‘Ah, what’s that?’

Come to think of it, there was one S-class Hunter that could be said to be a counter to that ability.
Still, she had a gentle relationship with her, so I guess it’s a relief that we don’t have to worry about bumping into each other unless it’s her dizzy.

Well, anyway, the conclusion is that.
He said there was no need to use points to become stronger.

‘Because if I kill the character in the work, I can steal it anyway.’

Oh, that’s good
While I’m thinking about it, I’ll have to buy a function related to it.
After that, Seo-jun continued shopping and was able to find and purchase the features he wanted.
The function is to increase the number of characteristics and skills that can be obtained when killing a ‘supporting’, ‘leading’ or ‘protagonist’ class character.
With this, it is possible for him to raise his natural strength even without using points.

“Then next…”

Seo-joon, who had been looking around for a while, started collecting wooden wikis related to Sword Art Online. Although the original work will change a lot with his intervention, this information collection was essential because important events would not change.

***

A few days later
I got a call from Seo-joon.

– It’s done, so come get it.

Seo-joon went straight to Kim Seo-eun’s house.
When she arrived, she seemed to be in a somewhat relieved state, fortunately.

‘Or maybe I kept it to myself.’

Didn’t I say that women don’t show it well?
There was a good chance she would too. Well, I have no choice but to release this later.

“Here.”

She handed over her nub gear and USB.
After accepting it, her Seojun asked her.

“Is it right?”
“Uh. The USB there has what you want, so go check it out.”
“Okay, thank you.”

Seojun answered and smiled.
Seeing that, Kim Seo-eun let out a sigh and touched her head.

“Do you have anything to say to me?”
“…”

Seojun avoided his gaze.
But then she smiled awkwardly.

“Sorry.”
“… Fuck, why am I like this?”

She grumbles, puffing out her cheeks.
Seo-joon sensed a little bit of her guilt that she had done something sorry for her because of her own constitution, but he did not express it.

‘Well, maybe an opportunity will come later.’

I’m still satisfied with 2D, but if I keep doing it, I wonder if I’ll be able to do it in 3D someday.
When that time comes, she will have to accept her heart.
Of course, until then, it’s a story when she keeps her heart.

“Hu, if you’re sorry, please listen to my one request later.”
“Ask? Um, I get it. I’ll listen if it doesn’t disadvantage me.”
“… Okay. Never forget you.”

After saying that, Kim Seo-eun waved her hand.
I meant go fast. Seo-joon came out of her house with a bitter smile. Then, after returning to her own home, she immediately plugged the USB into her home computer.
It contained a TXT document and a folder called ‘Request’.
Seojun first checked the text document.

“Hmm.”

When I read it, there were many contents including how to use it.
After shaking his head, Seo-jun finished checking the folder for the last time, put the Nerve Gear and USB in his inventory, and started preparing.
Now the time has come to enter the world of Sword Art Online again.

[From now on, we will enter the ‘Sword Art Online’ work.]

***

Seojun, who re-entered Sword Art Online, spent time reuniting with Asuna and other children after a long absence.

‘To be healed.’

How to say
Maybe because he was busy every day in his academy Apocalypse, the peace of this world was different for him.
Well, anyway, after such a short break, Seo-joon started working again. First, he went to Kayaba to see if the things he said were applied.

“Perfect.”
“Hmm, thanks for the investment.”

Kayaba perfectly reproduced what he had rethought.
To be honest, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it has changed a lot from the original Sword Art Online. Still, it wasn’t completely ruined, so maybe it’s a relief.

‘If it was going to be ruined in the first place, Kayaba would have refused.’

Anyway, feeling satisfied, Seo-joon recalled the USB in his inventory.
There are two in total on the USB.
One is a program that raises the overall performance of NerveGear while limiting its output.
Originally, it emitted electromagnetic waves enough to burn the human brain, but by limiting its output, it could be prevented from producing more than a certain amount of power.

The other was that in the original Sword Art Online, various things, including the texture of water that could not be reproduced, could be made exactly the same as those in reality.

‘I have to use this unconditionally.’

Sword Art Online changed due to his intervention.
It became uncertain who would die and who would survive.
That’s why the characters who lived in the original work may die because of wrongdoing. That’s why I asked Kim Seo-eun to make it.

“Take this.”
“This?”

Seojun took out the USB from his inventory and handed it over.
Since this was a copy of the original, it was fine even if Kayaba deleted it.

“This is the stuff I said before. It contains a program to realize a more perfect virtual world.”
“This is it… Excuse me for a moment.”

Kayaba carefully received the item.
Then I immediately checked the program in the connection to the computer.

‘I can’t figure it out anyway.’

No matter how much Kayaba is a genius.
It is absolutely impossible to dig into everything in a program made with ‘supernatural ability’ rather than ‘science’. Seojun waited patiently.

“… This is great.”

After checking, Kayaba returned to her seat and said that.
Contrary to his calm expression, his eyes were burning brightly.

“Who made this?”
“It’s a secret. He is a valuable talent in our group.”
“… Hmm. Okay. I just wanted to see the designer of this perfect program.”
“I will give you my compliments.”

Kayaba nodded and opened his mouth again.

“With this program, the virtual reality I will implement will be more perfect.”
“I look forward to it.”
“Thank you.”
“What. They are all trying to please us.”

Seo-joon laughed at him inwardly.
No one will die from this now.

‘Even if I die there, I’ll just become a vegetative person.’

Even if you die in Sword Art Online, you will only become a vegetable for a while.
And it was designed to bring you to your senses the moment the game is cleared.
There is no explanation as to how such a thing is scientifically possible. In the first place, this is because this is a program produced based on Kim Seo-eun’s ability to awaken as a ‘hunter’.

‘However, this function does not apply to those who kill players with PK.’

When you kill another player with PK and become a red player, the output limit disappears and if you die as it is, you wrote your hand so that your brain is burned.
There’s no need to save evil bastards like Laughing Coffin.

Anyway, Seo-joon broke up with Kayaba after his errands were over.
And time passed, and the day of the beta test of Sword Art Online arrived.
