Chapter 63
Episode 63. Long Day (1)
“Oh player Taeyang Yoon. Have you decided?”
“Is there anything else to do or not to decide?”
The sun growled a little.
It was a sarcastic remark about the ridiculously few options.
Andras smiled.
“It is unavoidable. Didn’t you show too many great things down there?”
Andras checked the book.
“‘Yuri Maximov’ isn’t a bad choice.”
“In what sense?”
“It’s a story that seems to be enough to confirm your talent.”
And also by taste.
The sun frowned.
It’s a game, but every time I see the demon king’s arrogant and high-handed attitude, my mood sinks.
“You mean you made it so unlucky?”
“what?”
“no.”
Before long, Andras, who even checked the book Ran had submitted, asked.
“The 10th floor of ‘Yuri Maximoff’.”
“I’m also on the 10th floor of Aid Obliviate.”
At Ran’s words, Andras nodded.
“Looks like you’re going with me.”
Right.
As Andras’ fingers rubbed together, a large magic circle formed under the sun and Ran’s feet.
“Since you chose the 10th floor stage, your achievements will also be limited to 10/14.”
-Boss and objects are made at a ridiculous level, while maintaining this balance thoroughly.
Hyun-hye grumbled.
The sun also nodded.
That’s right a hundred times.
Whether or not he knew his feelings, Andras smiled at the sun.
“This stage is a place to prove how well you guys will do ‘above’. Even if something unexpected happens, I hope you will deal with it wisely.”
Tuung.
With a dull sound, the light from the magic circle swallowed the sun and Ran.

Taeyang muttered while looking at the system window.
“Is it like this?”
Taeyang opened and closed his fists, measuring his senses.
This is because the number of Taeyang’s achievements was also lowered as he moved to the 10th floor.
It was about 65 levels, and one-third of the power was cut as it was, so it was necessary to adapt.
“I thought it would be the feeling of not having it, but the feeling of not having it is terrible.”
Then, a sharp anticipation pierced the sun from behind.
“die!”
“Oops.”
The sun took a step to the left without looking back.
At the same time, he opened and closed his right forearm.
Kwadeuk!
The blade of the sword got caught in the sun’s armpit.
“What?”
“What is it?”
Taeyang stretched out his left fist while twisting his waist.
Wow!
The face of the player who took a surprise attack on the clean straight entered flawlessly was horribly smashed.
-DDD.
-Now you’re doing a show of strength.
-mind! I don’t know your kingpy!
– I’m fucking cool.
-lol.
– It’s crazy from the start.
The sun simply farmed the player.
The equipment was meaningless, and the important thing was the card.
Taeyang, who checked the card, wrinkled his nose lightly.
Is it proportional to the player’s skill?
It was a normal grade card with one swordsman synergy attached.
“You’re out of luck.”
– It’s normal.
Generally, players with 2 or 3 cards equipped drop 1 card when they die.
2 for players with 4-5 cards slotted, 3 for 6 or more.
Judging from the fact that he only dropped one card, it seemed that he had about three cards equipped.
“You said you only ate 3 cards on the way up here?”
-This is the 10th floor stage, not the 15th floor. should be taken into account
“Sheesh.”
Taeyang, in a heartache, kicked the soil for no reason.
-This is why talent bugs are a problem.
– I can’t agree.
– Lㅇㅋ 3 cards on the 10th floor is average.
Sup.
The sun breathed in.
The cool morning air filled his lungs.
The ‘Long Day’ stage consisted of a forest and a small village.
-It’s easier to move quickly in the beginning.
“The first one is stage clear, the second one is Ran, and the third one is Yuri Maximov. Right?”
-that’s right.
“What about Ran, you’ll take care of yourself.”
Aid Obliviate wasn’t a particularly great player, so there was nothing to worry about.
The goal is to survive until dawn, when the sun sets and rises again.
And to successfully deal with ‘Yuri Maximoff’ who took the achievement.
There are two.
In a way, it was a goal that seemed no different from the ‘survival’ stage I experienced on the 14th floor.
However, if you look closely, the only thing the two have in common is the ‘survival’ genre.
The ‘Survival’ stage was designed to prohibit players from fighting each other and to defeat powerful boss monsters.
In other words, it is a stage where players are judged on their fighting skills against monsters.
On the other hand, the ‘Long Day’ stage is different.
Prepare for the ever-changing environment for a full day and battle with other players around you.
And, crucially, coping with the ongoing melee.
In other words, it was a stage that required constant tactical judgment.
– Noon is coming.
The ‘Day’ stage was divided into three stages.
first step. morning.
This is the preparation time given to the players by the demon king.
There are various monsters and dangers lurking in the forest, but compared to the other two stages, there was relatively little trouble in their activities.
Using this time, players had to prepare for ‘noon’, ‘twilight’ and ‘dawn’.
Of course, preparation for ‘noon’ came first rather than the latter two.
At noon.
At noon, the high-temperature sunlight blazed across the entire stage of ‘Long Day’.
It was a powerful sunlight at the level of roasting a whole human being without preparation or without any preparation.
Even this powerful sunbeam bombarded the stage in 30-minute increments, rather than ending all at once.
– Waiting for fire.
-In fact, Bana Jwa grilled and ate pork belly here.
– Didn’t it burn out?
-Hahahahahahahaha It was so funny that Bana, Jwa, Kingden, and Ramsey were possessed.
-??? : Can you hear me? Cancer cells are screaming that they’re going to pierce my stomach.
The sun’s rays did not end.
And the ferocious sun spirits derived from it.
Players had to survive from noon to sunset against these sun spirits.
“It’s a spirit.”
The spirits were basically mental bodies, so physical attacks did not work.
Whether it was an arm, a sword, or an arrow, it was possible to inflict damage only when attacking with mana.
-Because I can’t kill you. Quite difficult.
This was the biggest characteristic and tricky part of the sun spirits.
that it cannot kill.
Although it could be rendered incapacitated, it recovered as soon as it was exposed to light even a little.
If it was a zombie, it would be possible to stop it by destroying all its limbs, but since the spirits are cerebral bodies, that was impossible.
The sun couldn’t do anything magical, so I had to find a place that wasn’t exposed to the sun and at the same time find a way to avoid the sun spirits.
-Moves quickly and quickly. Private Yoon Taeyang!
“it’s crazy? Private First Class? I am discharged as a sergeant!”
Of course there was a way.
Small villages are located throughout the stages.
The town’s buildings were made of wood, a material that could block this strong sunlight.
The trees in the forest are innately resistant to the sun’s rays, and it seems that the survivors of the past added magical processing to these trees to make trees with materials that can withstand the sun’s rays.
“Well, otherwise it makes no sense. How do you live here?”
The NPCs didn’t know it at first, but they realized it soon after desperately avoiding the sun’s rays under a tree.
The fact that I have to go into the village.
Also, the NPCs who enter the village realize one more thing belatedly.
It is the fact that the village was a much more important factor than I thought in the ‘Lond day’ stage.
***
Transcendence Jingak – Yeomragak (閻羅脚).
cooong.
“Cuck!”
Taeyang didn’t bother to fight another player first, but he didn’t avoid the oncoming fight either.
In the beginning, I deliberately tried to catch it, but soon I realized that the first player I met was the average level of this stage 10 player.
“It’s not worth the money. Value for money.”
It was difficult to honestly say that Synergy cards, which have synergies attached to each other at best, are of great value.
It might be quite helpful in terms of filling up card slots for players who haven’t caught on to the trading system yet, but that wasn’t even the case for Taeyang.
-At the shelter on the 15th floor, maybe 30 or 40 gold. When I checked the broadcasts of the players in the shelter, they seemed to be doing that.
“what the. I bought it for 100 gold. Are these funny kids?”
-Well, you paid 100 gold on the 3rd floor and hit a card. The ratings were also high. It was a lucrative trade. not now but.
The shop system supported by the game always felt expensive.
Conversely, it was because players traded based on the price of the shop system.
“Anyway, is this the right direction?”
-Is that right? maybe.
“What is probably? Maybe go.”
– Is there anything certain in the world? It’s probably all like that. Do you know how confusing it is to look at a map?
The sun shook its head.
“Again again. Grab the horse’s tail again.”
– I’m helping as much as I can, but this… … .
“uh? found!”
The sun has found a village.
In fact, it was an ambiguous level to even call it a village.
Because it was all five mansions with buildings painted white and densely packed.
Of course, there was not just one village where the sun found it, but several scattered throughout the forest.
“5 buildings white. That’s right here.”
-thank god. I found it early though.
The villages spread all over the place had different characteristics.
Among them, there were two characteristics of the village that Taeyang discovered.
Evasion of spirit search and accumulation of barriers.
The longer the spirits stayed inside the building without finding the village, the more transparent barriers that prevented the player from taking damage were charged.
Of course, since it was not yet noon, the nature was hidden.
It must be so.
Flair.
“Are there any passengers?”
Wow!
Two shadows attacking at the same time as the flames.
The sun flung itself away from the flames and at the same time drew a sword.
Fists do not touch, black closing distance.
The lightsaber neatly cut the space.
pug.
One player’s head fell straight.
“Yamato!”
“crazy! What kind of movement is that!”
“At least ranker level! No, several people?”
“A number of people?”
“Isn’t that what I should take out? Are you able to deal with it?”
The sun tilted its head with a subtle face.
“A number of people?”
-I don’t think it’s him… … .
Yamato.
It’s a Japanese name, but it wasn’t a name that didn’t exist among players from Changchun.
However, what he said next caught Taeyang and Hyeonhye’s ears.
Ranker class number.
These classifications were used among users.
“shit. Aren’t the other players blowing it?”
“French? Why other users?”
“Isn’t it a joke to keep us in check these days?”
Whispering players.
The content of the words drove a wedge into speculation.
“He was a real user.”
the sun murmured
-Then if you kill this…
-No, it’s okay. After all, the players here are not real players.
– Oh, that’s right.
– These are the children of the past.
-ㅇㅇ I think it’s just a record?
-So Yuri Maximoff was not an NPC from the beginning, but an NPC that went up with the user?
-If you are in the beginning, you can do that.
-If you say that, even Yuri Maximoff is crazy.
-Really. Heo Gong and other kids have been around for decades, but they didn’t catch up.
Surprise for a moment. Soon a group of dozens of players came out of the building.
Through his appearance, he immediately judged that Taeyang was a melee player who used a Baktu sword, and aligned his formation accordingly.
Even in the eyes of the sun, it was definitely a skillful workmanship.
[‘Bana’ sponsored 10,000 won!]
[I’m not sure, but isn’t that the Japanese clan ‘Aka’?]
-Aka?
-At the beginning of the Grand Open, the place that produced five top-ranked players?
-Aka, who was the only one who beat Korea in the first three months?
– Doesn’t disintegrate?
-ㅇㅇ The clan leader went out of business and said that all the good guys make their own clan.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If AKA hadn’t disbanded all the time, Japanese kids would always say that we would be number one.
-That Aka is this one?
