Players Who Returned 10,000 Years Later
Chapter 25. Unexpected Meetings (Part 1)
— We will send your Level C Player ID tomorrow to the specified address.
— Um... Can't you give it to me now?
— No. Starting from level C, the filtering of which stones is more thorough. That's why we didn't immediately issue the ID.
- Oh so.
Earlier this morning, right after breakfast with Han Sol, Kang Yu headed straight to the Player Control Office to obtain his Level C Gate ID.
He had already provided which amount of stones were needed, if not more.
When he walked into the building, he first went to the measuring machine to ascertain his level and rank before trying to receive his ID.
But there, he was told to wait another day for his ID to be processed and delivered, which was not too surprising.
'I'll go straight to Gate Level C.' He was originally going to rest for a while after receiving the 3rd rank, but meeting the Devils' followers radically changed his plan.
He needed to find out who the Demon Master was, what their purpose was, and how powerful they were. Until then, he needed to gather more strength.
— Hm... — Kang Yu thought of going to the gate because of the Magi he had just obtained. Since his Magi level was much higher now, it would be easier to use different Strengths.
"I have to slow down." Kang Yu nodded confidently, overcoming his doubts.
The Demon Master seemed to be inaction right now, and it would take some time to find them anyway.
You should not be too relaxed, but you should not rush.
'Maybe it's better to rest as planned.' Considering the current situation, it's good to rest and enjoy his stay on Earth. 'In hindsight, I haven't rested a day since I returned to Earth'.
There were many things he wanted to do after returning to Earth, but in the end he did nothing but fight.
Kang Yu was suddenly overwhelmed by a strong desire to rest.
'But.' After leaving the building in the center of the city, he was surrounded by a current of people who were running their businesses. 'What should I do?'
Kang Yu scratched the back of his head as he thought about it. He is a man far from fun.
Because he used to live very poor, all his activities were limited to going to restaurants and reading comics on his phone at night. And to avoid spending more money than necessary, he always chose free comics.
And of course there is nothing to mention about the time spent in Hell.
He often dreamed of returning to Earth, but never once did he wonder what he would do here.
Maybe it's just a matter of remembering the past.
— Eh... — Kang Yu sits in a nearby store, immersed in his own thoughts.
'If you think about it that way, I really live a very boring life.' When he tried to recall what kind of pleasant experience he had, nothing came to his mind.
— Hmm... A chicken or something to eat.. — She drooled while remembering the combo of chicken and beer she had just eaten.
Han Sol cooked so delicious that she could not imagine eating the food prepared by others, but the chicken was an exception.
"Unless it's too early to eat." He left the house early in the morning.
It was a long time before lunch.
He could hardly find a decent place that served chicken and beer in the morning.
- Ah! — At that time, Kang Yu got an idea.
There was something he had not tried before. It was a place that others frequented, while he was always envious of them.
- Yeah. I have to go at least once. – Excited, he hurriedly got up and left the store.
Kang Yu looked around. If he remembered it correctly, there were many such places in the middle.
'I found him.' When he saw the mark, his eyes sparkled.
Quickly, almost running, he went towards the sign.
[PC Wrist*. Death is like the wind that always surrounds me]
(PP: PC Bang — internet cafe, computer room. In Korea, such a place is equipped with a powerful gaming computer and a headset. Payment is made by hour. You can also buy food and drinks there).
- Finally! – Excited Kang Yu, seeing the sign.
She grew up watching her colleagues regularly visit PC Bang since she was a child, and she was very envious of them.
When he grew up and got a job, he couldn't even think of going to a place like this because he was so busy.
'Just once, I want to try spending time in a place like this.'
In ten thousand years, he experienced all kinds of torment.
During his time in Hell, he had never sustained a life-threatening injury.
Now that he was on Earth, he felt the need to be compensated for all the suffering he had endured.
He had suffered all sorts of torments, but he barely felt any 'pleasure'. He planned to try everything he had not had a chance before.
— It's time to go, — said Kang Yu, his voice resembling a hero rising to the battlefield as he opened the door.
The bell hanging on the door rang when the door opened.
— Well, let's see. Do I need to register first and make a deposit?
For a man who came to a place like this for the first time, he immediately realized what he had to do, register, and log in with his name.
But after almost every successful action, he exclaimed happily, as if he had just arrived from the village to the capital.
On the open desktop, he clicked the tab with drinks and food.
— Oh... Is this where you can order food? — The neatly decorated menu resembles an online grocery store.
After a moment of hesitation, Kang Yu chose set A.
'They said that if you're on PC Bang, you should eat ramen.' He always heard that the atmosphere here gave ramen a very special taste.
But for him, the man who never played video games, the choice was not easy.
'I should have at least a general overview of all these games.' He flipped through the list and stopped at one of the most popular games.
By clicking on the icon with the capital letter 'L', a login window will appear.
— Hah? — Right after registration, an advertisement appears.
[Initial set: 5 runes, 10rb IP, upgrade to level 30!]
— Ha! — Just below is shown a colorful box with all of the above and shows the cost.
'Starting at level 30, of course, is better, ' Kang Yu doesn't know what kind of game it is and what to do, but a high level is definitely an advantage.
After paying the initial set, Kang Yu entered the game.
— Support... No, I have to choose someone who is more independent... — Kang Yu tilts his head to the side and chooses a character.
In the end, he chose a magician who could control the wind.
'Should we go there?' Kang Yu chased his teammate with golden hair on the map.
1 minute 30 seconds passed from the start of the game, and monsters began to appear in the two camps. He has one teammate, a blonde, and there are two players on the opposing team as well.
'Yes, if you get a monster, you get a prize money.' Kang Yu found out pretty quickly.
When Kang Yu realized the importance of killing monsters, he started clicking the mouse and catching monsters faster.
At that moment, a golden-haired man wrote to the chat room:
"Why do you want to kill them?"
Kang Yu tilted his head and looked at the message in confusion.
[jjanna: They gave you money when you killed them. ]
“That's not what you're supposed to do, ****”
[jjanna: You can also kill them, so you will get money. ]
"Well, you and that bastard so you raped your mother."
Kang Yu did not understand why, but his teammate was very unhappy.
— For set A, the price is 4000 won.
- Thank you. – Kang Yu took his ramen and gave money to that employee.
Looking at the steaming ramen, his eyes were burning with vigor.
'It's familiar.' Ramen was the food he ate day after day during his poverty.
He thought he would never eat regular ramen again, but here it tasted different, better than before.
Kang Yu pierced the yolk framed with chopsticks and started pulling the noodles with appetite.
A unique and slightly exotic taste spread throughout his mouth.
'Lezat!' —Kang Yu moves his character to safety, and the game screen rotates sideways.
— Oh, pickled radish is perfect for ramen! — Kang Yu exclaims in awe, snacking on ramen with horseradish included.
Of course, radish is no match for kimchi, but at this point, it has a certain charm.
Kang Yu happily put a piece of kimbap into his mouth.
(PP: Kimbap is a Korean bread roll with no added fish, except tuna salad).
it's real: “It's moving! Please! I will ride after this match!”
Although his teammates continued to write in the chat room, Kang Yu, who was focused on ramen, was unaware of it.
— It's not so interesting.
Maybe he thought so because he had never played the game before, but he really thought this place was useless.
— But the food is good. — More than games designed for this place, he likes ramen here.
For the sake of ramen, Kang Yu thought of coming here again.
When Kang Yu finished cleaning the bowl of ramen, he opened a bottle of soda and drank it in an instant. A cold and pleasant drink spread throughout Kang Yu's throat.
At that moment, behind Kang Yu, an angry shout sounded:
— Who is that bastard by the name of jjanna? the А?!
Turning towards the shout, Kang Yu saw a girl with a short haircut, wearing a baseball cap and standing upright.
Thick eyebrows and chubby lips, a pointed nose, and snow-white skin.
Wearing sportswear and a hat, she looks quite short, but that doesn't make her any less beautiful.
Kang Yu faced her with a glance.
He curled his face and shouted harshly:
— What do you see? Is there something wrong with that? I'm not in the mood, so don't talk to me…
He suddenly stopped talking while looking at the image on Kang Yu's monitor.
— Hah? — Do not trust his eyes, first he looks at his monitor and then at Kang Yu's monitor and to the back.
As he continued to look forward and backward, he smiled sadly.
— Wow, what a coincidence. – His body starts to emit powerful energy. — Oh, you bastard! I told you all right.. —.
