Episode 280
73. Are you sure you want to fix the bug?
I was in a dark space. A space where nothing can be seen except the darkness.
What happened?
I slowly reconsider my thoughts. I killed the Elder, and as soon as I killed the Elder… … Suddenly my consciousness was thrown out.
The result is this pitch black now.
“Ugh.”
I got up. Hands and feet looked fine. Then, as if the stage lights were turned on, the lights were turned on in front of them.
tongue.
tongue.
tongue.
I followed the light little by little. Behind it was a familiar piece of furniture.
24 inch monitor. A water-cooled desktop body with iridescent lights lying next to it.
From the burnt white blue keyboard to the L’s gaming mouse.
Wow, there’s also a long pad that I sprayed to commemorate the opening of Paradise Academia.
Although it had just been over a year and a half since I was brought into this world.
Surprisingly, the perceived gap was quite far away.
Is it because there are so many things to do?
But looking back, it wasn’t that short of a time. It’s just like being in the military.
It was definitely the same feeling I felt after enlisting and being discharged.
Even when I was on vacation for the first time, how was it so awkward to touch my phone? It wasn’t when cell phones were available as they are now.
Let’s stare blankly at the desk where my traces were left intact.
The main body turned on by itself, and the light came on with a pot on the monitor that was dark.
I step back slightly in surprise, and large letters come to mind in the space above the computer monitor.
＜＜ PARADISE ACADEMIA ＞＞
The familiar logo of the game company, the start screen of the game that you have seen dozens of times comes to mind.
In the same way, a message window that was boring because I watched it too many times was output.
—–
[Paradise Patch ver.2.0]
[Number of bugs fixed so far: 921]
[Bug fix rate: 80.0%]
—–
Have you already fixed this many bugs? 921, really jingling.
I couldn’t even remember every single one of them now.
It’s worth remembering the sewing machines who provided the big event, because the bugs I saw while walking around the street were erased from my memory as soon as they were fixed.
However, I still haven’t finished the game. The figure of 80%, which was just exquisitely achieved, continued to catch the eye.
No, why am I in this space in the first place?
If I caught the Elder and my consciousness was thrown out, was it possible that I became acquainted with the Elder?
Is this some kind of game over place?
“ha ha ha… … .”
Thinking like that, the status window was just like the game result window. Why do RTS or arcade games show how well I did as a score?
A total of 921 bugs were fixed.
Its fix rate is 80.0% of all bugs, done!
That kind of screen.
But in the end, you didn’t see the ending, did you? Isn’t the game finished?
“no way.”
I came up with the most terrifying scenario. Falling back to Paradise Academia like this, repeating the same thing to achieve a fertilization rate of 100%.
Fuck you, anyway, that’s not much… … !!
To be honest, it wasn’t something I didn’t do. I was possessed by the game world without asking or arguing, and I was really good at doing this.
Was I a former fighter, was I an outstanding tactical soldier, was I a politician, was I an entrepreneur?
The only talent he had was to wander around the crumbling Mangem community and sell his feet.
Why couldn’t I let go of the game Paradise Academia when everyone left?
It was because this world was the utopia I had longed for.
I cleared that world over and over again, and I was already deeply assimilated.
I had fun while having the same conversation with the same person.
just that
Yes, I was a bit arrogant. Among them, it was rotten as much as it was rotten.
But what about that?
As for the deceased, it wasn’t that there weren’t any people who were better than me.
If that’s the case, there’s no wonder it’s not me but other guys sucked into the monitor.
finally.
I don’t know if it’s a system or what kind of divine being it is.
It’s that they didn’t select the right talent.

My journey ends here. I could feel it instinctively.I didn’t want to go back and play the second round. It’s a comeback after all, isn’t it?
Would you like to put your possessions on the regression?
Please turn it off, don’t eat it.
I didn’t even want to step into the pier of the beginning and beat the failing wizard.
I didn’t even want to think about the three faculties of Arthur, Arin, and Ortana.

More than anything.Illuminati including Camila and Iliana, George, Byron, Soyoung and Taehoon.
Faculty professors and friends, including Arthur Dean Irkan Bradamante and Professor Kehlin Morris.
Ishtar Arhalten, the princess of the Artel tribe, and Jeliya the redeemer of the Canaanite Temple.
Theodore Lincoln and Yura Esther.
and… … Even Lorna-senpai, who couldn’t protect it in the end.
To dismiss all those relationships as non-existent and to live the same life itself is not a terrible curse.
Camila’s smile that was smiling at me became non-existent.
The scent of Illyana that I felt when I was held in my arms disappears from my memory.
The head-to-head conversation I had with George.
Sweaty training with Byron.
A scene of walking around a restaurant with Tae-hoon, who is caught and dragged by So-young.
All the life I experienced as a student of Arthur’s Faculty on Paradise Island.
It disappears as if it ever existed.
hate. never hated it
“Well, what do you want me to do! Fuck you, I’m done now. What more for the loser? I just want you to take me home quickly!”
A small single room in which all he had was all he had on the desk.
Rather than destroying the beautiful memories and starting over, it’s much better to go back to a place that doesn’t exist even if you wash your eyes and search for romance.
“Maybe you brought someone better than me. Then we can achieve 100%.”
I poured everything out.
rather good
Because neither Camilla nor Iliana accepted the confession.
If that had been the case, the sense of loss I felt right now would have been doubled.
But the status window showed me a screen like some movie theater screen instead of doing my request.
From there, the appearance of demons struggling against the army of demons appeared.
Noticeable gray skin. There’s no way I don’t know him.
It was the Incubus King Nabe. Beside him, the ghosts I had gathered were pouring out all kinds of magic, desperately blocking the demons.
The next scene was a large number of students and residents who had formed an army.
The group was led by Theodore Lincoln, president of the Student Council, and Yura Esther, a candidate for the Holy Fire Woman who assists next to him.
From beginner to advanced level.
From the 1st to the 4th grade, everyone is advancing with a determined mind.

Maybe it’s a handful of military power, but that might never be ignored.“Is it Aidan this time?”
With the weapon stream fully deployed, there was an image of a hero fighting a fierce battle in a bloody cloud.
I didn’t know if I was fighting someone.
Is it Kasais, the 3rd cadre of the Liberation Front? he can’t fly
And the moment that followed the next scene.
I was able to recall a memory I had forgotten for a while.
A familiar face falling to the ground after being attacked by George, Byron, Soyoung and Taehoon.
“It’s me.”
is the devil
I was able to figure it out without any explanation.
The corpse hill that opened up in front of me right after I had a conversation with The Elder. A real white mountain cow sitting on it.

My personality suffered a game over at that point, and that guy finally became the Demon King.“… … .”
I closed my mouth.
“Why are you showing this now? Really, do it again?”
no.
Rather, it is a great contradiction.
I am the main character of the DLC. And that’s the final look the DLC Chaos Fragment in question should take.
The Demon King Baeksanwoo.
Wasn’t it originally going to be like this? I am possessed by a character originally designed as a villain.
If so, ascending as the Demon King and annihilating the entire world is the right ending for the DLC, isn’t it?
at that time.
A letter appeared in front of me.
[Thank you for your hard work. Paradise Academia DLC, content addition and bug fix plans for Fragments of Chaos are almost complete.]
[The last remaining 20% are bug fixes for DLC characters.]
[Are you sure you want to fix the bug?]
[YES / NO]
“… … what?”
I read the text again. It felt like being hit hard with a hammer in the back of the head.
okay. It was a natural story. I just didn’t realize
The player character is Baek San-woo.
DLC hasn’t been fully applied yet, isn’t it strange that DLC characters are going around?
In other words, I was also a sewing machine.
It is natural that even the demon king could not achieve 100% bug fix rate.
‘Cause I’m still here
“So, if I just fix this bug, the game is officially finished, and I can go back to reality, right?”
The system still doesn’t answer.
However, just looking at the message window asking if you want to fix the bug that came to mind is enough to be sure.
“Let’s go back.”
I slowly reached out to YES. To a world of achromatic colors where there is no fun and no hope.
‘It was fun. Maybe all of this was a dream. What a long, vivid, enjoyable dream.’
want to stay
But at the same time, I was also afraid.
What do you want to see when you stay here? Would you like to see more than killing my comrades with my own hands and destroying my livelihood?
Despair casts on people’s faces.
Camila and Illyana face a painful end.
Precious friends will be dyed with magic and decorate one side of the corpse hill.
What do I mean by such a world?

My fingers were trembling.Read at noblemtl.com
My heart is pounding and my breathing is rapid. My eyes were so cold that I couldn’t open them properly.The moment I was about to press the status window like that.
“Baeksanwoo-!!”
A shrill voice echoed from both sides.
“Camilla, Illyana!?”
I looked back in surprise, but it was still pitch black.
instead.
There was only a single sword surrounded by a green flash of light.
yam too. My beloved sword that I held until the very end.
I approached the sword as if possessed.
What covered the sword was not a blazing blue flame, but a green brilliance.
It is the energy of bug fixing.
“is it.”
I turned my head slightly and looked at the status window.
[reach a new ending]
[YES / NO]
The text was different.
“Are you still taking care of yourself?”
The fact that bugs are fixed remains the same. But is that the kind of thing that will make me avoid the worst I can imagine?
“You are a very mature man. The ending was like this and that, the decision was like this. Nothing has been set properly.”
I burst out laughing and held the yam in my hand. A strange aura spreads over my arms.
This time, without hesitation, he reached out to the YES button.
“I have nothing to say when it comes to the true taste of freedom… … .”
This game is a real dog game.
Extremely, leaving only the impressions of Paradise Academia.
