A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop chapter 79

Episode 79 – Gust from the North (9)

“These days, there are endless scandalous rumors. “It was expected once the demons really started their activities.”

“…”

Regner stopped the carriage, dropped them off, and announced Chapter 3.

He was looking at the scene across the screen with a complicated expression. He entrusted the hunting to hunters including Naru and Dune, and entered Dark Blood, which had cleared Chapter 2, with Riena to confirm the news he had just heard.

If a bug appears in a game, it won’t appear in just one game. However, Regner, who is a more important NPC than Tina in Creature Hunting, has not yet shown any indication that something is wrong.

“What’s wrong here?”

“This is a land where there is a fortress where the margrave of a country ruled. He was a brave general and a good and benevolent lord. But as the cold winter came, the whole area was completely cut off from news. Quite a few people approached me to find out the news, but there were few who went all the way to the fortress to find out the truth.”

When Riena, who felt awkward seeing Regner’s face again for the first time in a few days, asked a question, Regner smiled and pointed to the dark land in the distance.

Like the village in Chapter 1, the lord’s fortress, under the cold air and thick dark clouds, was dominated by a gloomy and gloomy aura that was not normal at first glance.

“If you guys are doing great work chasing down demons, you might be able to find out the truth.”

Regner shrugged his shoulders at the man who was fidgeting like a dog looking at him. Just looking at him, it seemed like he had no idea what he wanted to ask.

‘I can’t ask if there’s a bug. I think Riena should have brought him after hearing the news from the hunters… But listening doesn’t change anything.’

He became slightly frustrated when his intentions were not conveyed and soon gave up. Even if Regnor knew about the bug, in the end their job was the same.

Just kill the enemy and get the reward. Those enemies included all the demons and bugs that appeared in the game.

‘A game is just a game. Otherwise, they would have been everywhere already.’

As the residents entered it, it became a reality, but in the end, the game was a means.

The same goes for bugs that want to invade the world. Their goal was to infiltrate the game world and kill its residents, not to make it their nest, and he could guess this as well.

Of course, it was bad news that variables were created due to the intrusion of bugs. There were already many variables that arose as the game turned into reality, but those variables are being twisted once more.

‘Is there something wrong?’

Even as he moved his character across the map, his thoughts were complicated. And that appearance was noticeable enough for Riena, who was following behind, to notice.

The basis for her thinking was that the character, who would normally have shown arrogance by repeatedly jumping or rolling, just ran calmly.

‘doesn’t care. Whatever the problem.’

But Riena soon bit her lip. Now she is following him without knowing where he is taking her.

Still, I didn’t have any doubts. Because I trust him that much. The time I’ve spent fighting with him so far has proven that.

And that belief actually made Riena stronger. Because this world was like that. If she fights alongside him, she becomes even stronger.

‘Frost wraiths.’

The first enemy of Chapter 3 appeared before them. The ghosts, soaked in the chill of the cold northern region, creaked their half-rotten bodies and attacked, swinging the weapons in their hands.

They were once farmers, so the weapons they wielded in their hands were farming tools such as hoes and shovels, but they were objects filled with an evil cold that was enough to chill your bones.

While he used defensive magic to block their attack once, Riena, spouting white breath from her mouth, kicked the ground and rushed at them, cutting their bodies in half with a single sword.

She progressed through the game by gaining more than what she could get by adding to her personal skills, and dispatched the approaching enemies with ease, like an expert playing on the easy difficulty level for beginners.

“Didn’t he show up here?”

He was watching Riena’s activities without any particular need for himself, and muttered softly as he operated the keyboard. For now, it was the same as the existing game. I was looking at surrounding backgrounds that I wouldn’t normally care about, but I couldn’t find anything that looked like a trace of a bug.

‘The devils are not easy guys.’

He relaxed slightly and thought that the bugs that had infiltrated might have been reversed by the devils in the game. That’s because the demon enemies that appear in the game are strong.

‘There’s no need to make too much of a fuss.’

When I was making my way through the early part of Chapter 3 with Riena. After organizing my thoughts, I felt slightly at ease. Bugs appeared in the game world, but in the end, my job didn’t change.

When a bug appears, just deal with it and kill it.

“—.”

“–, —.”

Riena, who had been fighting tirelessly with me against dozens of enemies, took a moment to catch her breath. I closed the game window and opened another game.

Now that it has taken care of itself, the hunters in creature hunting who had been neglected are now tracking and hunting their prey on their own.

As skilled warriors became increasingly armed with better equipment, they were now able to hunt even high-level enemies.

According to their status chart, their hunter’s talent had already blossomed.

“You guys have considerable skills. “I think movements that are standard yet strangely different are actually more effective.”

One peculiar thing is that Tina, who was injured, sticks next to them and watches them hunt. Although it is one of the main NPCs, I had never seen them hunting together like this, so it was quite interesting.

“—.”

“The strongest and highest-ranking mutants found around here are the Drakes. Among them, Red with red scales is the strongest and rarest.”

Since I wasn’t really manipulating anything, Naru, who was carrying me stiffly on her back like a piece of luggage, said something, and she nodded and supplemented the knowledge they didn’t know.

Her guidance is bound to be of great help to residents who were ignorant of the world of creature hunting.

The habits and weaknesses of enemies that were not known in the game, etc. She was generously sharing the knowledge of a high-level hunter.

“If you want to go deeper, you have to be well prepared.

“–, –.”

It seemed like it was time to end the hunt. The hunters prepared to return to Tina’s words and prepared to return to the city.

“uh?”

But then a variable arose. There was noise in my game, and not only the residents but also Tina looked around in panic.

“Oh, this can’t be happening. “It’s a new species!”

The enemy soon appeared first. Because they, like mutants, are different from normal beasts. In fact, they are more straight-forward than mutants.

Rather, the brutality is not felt. The only feeling is that it is frighteningly cold and dry.

‘As expected, their target is the residents.’

I quickly grabbed the keyboard, got off Naru’s back, and prepared for battle. The giant scorpion that appeared, brandishing its thick claws and poisonous stinger, rushed at us to kill us.

The appearance is unstoppable, like a program executing commands.

“Dangerous!”

Tina, who couldn’t come out because she was injured, shouted urgently, but it seemed too late for everyone to run away safely. The hunters, including me, drew our respective weapons to deal with it.

‘I’m glad I can use this body too.’

In the process, I snatched a large hammer made of bone from the back of Naru, who was holding a bow. It was a hammer bigger than my bipedal raccoon body, but surprisingly, I was able to hold the equipment and swing it just fine.

“—!”

We worked together to attack the bug. Dune with a great sword and Urca with a spear blocked the creature’s claws, and when Naaru’s arrow hit the creature’s poisonous sting, Lua spurted the ground and trees one after another, flew into the air, and cut off its tail in one go with the battle ax she was holding. I cut it off.

In that situation, I stepped forward and charged at the guy in front of him. I struck him repeatedly with a hammer and struck his face surrounded by a black shell.

“It’s poison!”

“— –!”

As if in a final struggle, it attacked me with black tentacles spewing out from its carapace and sprayed out thick poison. The residents were so frightened that they quickly covered their faces and retreated.

Of course, my character’s HP drops quickly after being poisoned. However, I ate the food in my inventory to fill up my HP and did not stop attacking.

This is a crazy thing that only I, who can move without feeling pain and ignoring injuries, can do. But it is just as effective and destructive.

“Raccoon, you’re amazing.”

Tina muttered absentmindedly as I entered the command and completely crushed the guy’s head with a strong attack that I performed by jumping and somersaulting.

Certainly, in their eyes, I would look strange as I ignore the opponent’s attacks and only attack them.

-They appear in the game too…

“The purpose is to kill the residents operating there. “There is nothing wrong with being careful.”

After the commotion passed. I told Lee So-yeon about what happened today while looking at several game windows that were open at the same time.

She, who came later than me, will one day have to fight against the bugs that have infiltrated the game.

“That’s true in games, but you also have to think about the people who appear elsewhere in real life, that is, on your desktop.”

-I guess so. Now that I think about it, I have no idea where they come from.

Our conversation now turned to bugs appearing on the desktop.

We keep fighting them, but we still don’t know where or how they come from. A crack in the space called the nest was discovered and attempted to be closed, but it seemed to be only a stopgap measure to maintain the status quo and not a fundamental solution.

They will definitely advance to places where no residents live, prey on the local people, grow, and attack the residents again.

It is a definite fact that the fight against them will become more intense in the future as they invade the game.

[Step 2 of destroying the desktop]

I fiddled with the mouse. One of the powers I can exercise in the other world is the hammer. The next step is the chainsaw. The effect of this chainsaw, which can change the screen, was that it could also be used against bugs for a short period of time.
