Chapter 4 Mad Developer

In many games that exist in the world, you can discover elements hidden by the developer. From simple pranks created by developers to fraudulent elements that can have a powerful impact on play. We call them Easter eggs or Hidden Pieces.

Jaeyoung appeared in the rushing waves .

With a breathless face, he exhaled forcefully, but immediately shouted as if he had done it.

“OMG! I finally found it...!”

[The skill ‘Dive' has risen to rank A.]

[Health has increased by 5.]

[Affinity with Water attribute has increased by 10.]

[You can dive to very deep places.] I have

only been diving in Lake Erun. Day 10.

Jaeyoung was finally able to reach the bottom of the lake after his diving skill rose to A rank.

And after digging around the bottom of the lake for a while, he finally found a hidden clue.

[You have completed the quest ‘Finding the Traces of Darkness'.]

- You have found a document stating that Lake Erun has the oldest traces of darkness. Check if this literature is true and look for traces of it. 1/1

“Still, it's a shame because it's a small lake. If it was a little bigger, it would have taken longer.”

It wasn't just at the bottom of the lake, and what Jaeyoung found while digging deep into the mud was a small necklace. A necklace in a seemingly crude form. However, the black stone embedded in the center of the necklace had a feeling that it looked profound even at a glance.

“This necklace is the clue...”

Jaeyoung, who came out of the lake dripping with water, murmured as she carefully inspected the necklace in her hand. And then a window appeared in front of his eyes.

[You have acquired the quest reward ‘Black Necklace'.]

A black necklace that is both a clue and a reward for the quest. However, this necklace was unusually not a piece of equipment, but a consumable. After opening the interface window, Jaeyoung checked the black necklace lying in the consumables window, not the equipment window, and pressed the icon.

[Black Necklace]

Contains unknown ancient power. If you ever use this item, you will need to think for a long time.

-Cannot be sold, exchanged, or destroyed.

“.....”

A phrase that goes beyond a very unkind explanation and gives a feeling that it should not be used. In addition, Jaeyoung was at a loss for words after confirming that it was a permanent belonging item.

“What do you mean use this or not? No, if you can’t even trade in the first place, you have no choice but to use it.”

Jaeyoung, who had a strong desire to see the face of the developer who made such an item, touched his fingers as if he was slightly worried. I have already invested a long time to get this small necklace. Jaeyoung put her finger on the icon on the black necklace because it was too waste of time and effort to bury it because it was uncomfortable to use now.

[Do you want to use the ‘black necklace'?]

When asked if he would like to use the item, Jaeyoung raised his finger to Yes. But a new phrase came to mind again.

[Do you really want to use the ‘black necklace'?]

“...?”

When a window asking whether to use it again appeared, Jaeyoung clicked Yes as if it was absurd. Then another window appeared.

[Do you really want to use the ‘black necklace'?]

[Use really really realu.....]

[Use it for the last question.....]

[No, but really think about it before using it..... ]

[Even if I regret it, I can't take it back. Really use it.....]

Jaeyoung frowned as if he was annoyed as he continued to press the windows that came to mind.

“No use! Why do you keep asking me?”

Jaeyoung, who kept pressing Yes with grit to see who would win, let out a ridiculous laugh at the last phrase that came to mind.

[Are you just pressing it right now? I know everything.]

“Ah.... Really, who made this? I want to see the developer's face.”

A text that seems to make fun of him. However, the text soon disappeared and a new window popped up.

[Well... If you've checked this far, you seem to have a strong will to use the item... So let's stop asking. I'm sure by now you're cursing who made this, but don't regret it in the future. I kept asking as much as I could.]

A phrase as if talking to oneself. In the phrase that seemed to have anticipated and planned this situation, Jaeyoung was overcome with strange anxiety as he felt both playfulness and madness at the same time. And before he could react, the necklace in his hand suddenly began to resonate and rise into the air.

Ugh-

“What is this...”

Suddenly, a huge amount of black mist started pouring out of the necklace. And when the fog enveloped Jaeyoung's body in an instant and covered his vision with darkness, he clearly heard the voice of a playful child whispering in his ear.

[Please do your best in the future. Just like I'm doing now.] He

couldn't understand the meaning at all, but when he heard the voice, he could immediately tell that the owner of the voice was the developer who made this necklace. And he whispered to Jaeyoung as if he was really looking forward to it.

[I'll watch from the outside, the story of this world you're making.]

And countless texts began to appear in front of Jae-young's eyes.

[I changed to the hidden class Bard of Anarchy.]

[The level system is deleted.]

[The stat plausibility is acquired.] [

The mission system is added.]

[The character is permanently bound to the player. It will.]

The necklace and the black mist disappeared without a trace. And at the phrase that he suddenly changed to a hidden class, Jaeyoung stood in a daze at Lake Erun for a long time.

He had played many games before, but it was the first time in his 20 years of short life that he had gone through such a crazy job change process.

* * *

Jaeyoung, who was lost for a while, began to grasp the situation step by step.

[Plausibility]

The ability to intervene in this world can be increased. If you artificially distort the law using that stat, the stat will be permanently destroyed.

“...What kind of bullshit is this?”

New stats that you can't understand even after reading dozens of times. Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh at the unkind and esoteric explanation to the extent that he had no idea what it was. The new stats were also a problem, but there was a bigger problem than that.

“No, why did the level disappear again?”

Levels are the basic system of RPG games. As with other games, the basic character development system in which you acquire experience points and grow and become stronger through leveling up was applied in Arcadia as well. Jae-young raised her former level to 10 while clearing the beginner's quest. However, the system interface where the level was written had disappeared neatly, as if it never existed.

“This is a bit serious...”

Basically, through leveling up, various basic stats increase and the character becomes stronger, but the character Jaeyoung is playing is deprived of such a basic training system. Even if there is not a big difference right now, it is obvious that the gap with his character will widen as the average level of other users increases.

“Is this why the character belongs permanently...”

At the time of the job change, he did not understand the last phrase, but Jae-young, who even tried deleting the character, soon realized that even that was impossible and despaired.

The back of Jaeyoung's head tingled at the behavior of the developer, who fed a huge amount of taffy and erased all means to escape as if he could not be bitten again. I knew there was no way to do it other than quitting the game, but I couldn't do it considering the huge installments of the capsules I had to pay in the future.

“I should have stopped at that crazy confirmation phrase earlier...”

Jaeyoung continued to think that he had been bitten by a developer with perverted tastes, but he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and lamented that he had pushed his finger to the end. He let out a deep sigh. And suddenly a message popped up in front of his eyes.

[New mission has been updated.]

“...Mission?”

A new mission window that appeared after changing jobs to a hidden class. It was empty earlier, but he pressed the shiny window that appeared before he knew it, and his face stiffened as he read the content, like a letter intentionally left by the developer.

[Mission. 1]

His name is a wanderer in a turbulent world, but doesn't Arcadia look so peaceful right now? This is why Nick value... No, can we say it's job value? How a thirsty man digs a well. If the world is peaceful, you just have to make it unpeaceful yourself. Do your best to wreak havoc on the newbie village for the time given.

Jaeyoung was at a loss for words at the logic that seemed like a crazy idea for a developer, but after seeing the contents of the mission, he was even more speechless.

[Killing beginners]

Killing newbie users who have not changed jobs.

-Number of novices killed: 0

-Time left: 6 days 23 hours 55 minutes 24 seconds.

“It's really crazy.....”

PK is basically an important content for RPG games. However, it is taboo in any game to harass a new user like a green sprout who has just started playing. If that happens, a huge aggro will be attracted. In addition, in this game that has not been opened yet, only beginners are picked and killed?

It was obvious that at any moment, people asking about their parents would overflow from here and there.

Jaeyoung scratched his head in frustration and lay down on the lakeside. Then, in a daze, I pondered over what had just happened.

[Please do your best in the future. Like I'm doing right now.]

The voice of a young boy full of playfulness. I didn't understand what that meant at the time, but now that I've read the mission statement, I can only vaguely understand that whoever the developer really wanted him to do all kinds of shit in this game.

“Why the hell...?”

Selecting and killing only beginners is to reduce the favorability of new users to the game. Therefore, since it could hinder the influx of new users and eventually damage the game company, a normal developer could not ask for this. That's why Jaeyoung couldn't help but wonder why he was asking him to do this.

However, after thinking about his situation for a long time in an irreversible situation, he got up from his seat as if he had made up his mind and moved to the habitat of slime, a famous hunting ground for beginners.

“Yap yap! Die, die!”

“Oh yea! Drops of slime came out!”

“Oh oh! That's 50 bronze! i envy you!”

Beginners catching slime cute enough to make you happy just by looking at it. Watching them clearing the slime hunting quest that they receive as soon as they start Arcadia, they begin to look back on themselves on the first day. And Jaeyoung took out the equipment with a bitter yet subtle expression.

The heavy, rusty iron sword he received as a quest reward while hunting up to level 10 the other day.

And he swung the iron sword without a moment's hesitation.

pug.

“Ouch! What is it, uncle?!”

“omg! what?”

“Aww! brother!”

When Jaeyoung's steel sword was firmly lodged in his head and a novice fell in one hit, numerous novices who watched the scene shouted. And seeing them like that, Jaeyoung didn't change his expression and started swinging his rusty iron sword again. “This crazy! It's a PK!”

“No, it's a PK in a beginner's hunting ground!”

“Aww! Run away!”

The slime habitat is confused by Jae-young, who suddenly started killing people without any reason or connection. There, Jaeyoung was able to confirm the message floating in front of his eyes as he sent numerous beginners directly to the nether world.

[Killed a beginner!]

[Gains 1 Probability]

[Killed a beginner!]

[Gains 1 Probability]

[Killed a beginner!]

That's how the slime habitat started The massacre of novices in

The birth of a rare idiot who turned peaceful Arcadia into chaos and destruction.
