Episode 3
1. Wharf of Beginnings (2)
“Baek Sanwoo Candidate?”
“Ummm…”
“Baeksanwoo Candidate!”
As I lifted my heavy eyelids at the faint voice, my blurred vision gradually became clearer, and soon I saw a pure white ceiling.
“Wow! You’re finally awake!”
“Wow, damn it!!”
“Kye! I’m surprised!! Why are you screaming like that!!?”
I didn’t even know who was there, but it suddenly popped out and I was startled.
A woman with light blue hair looking at me with her surprised breasts swept down.
It was a face I had never seen before.
“Where are you?”
“Oh, it’s a Canaanite temple. Don’t worry.”
Her words brought her back to life. Paradise Academia’s Healing Center, the Temple of Canaan.
Upon realizing it, the outfit the woman in front of me was wearing caught my eye.
A gold cross is embroidered on a robe decorated with black thread on a pure white fabric. It was designed very similar to the priest’s uniforms of healers who are often helped in the game.
No, it’s not similar, it’s just a Canaanite priest’s uniform.
“Well, it’s not unreasonable to overreact, since you went through something like that as soon as you arrived on the island.”
“What happened?”
“I was hit directly by Fireball. As a failing wizard, the magic circle wasn’t formed properly, so it’s a shame, because it almost caused a lot of trouble.”
“ah…….”
That damn bastard looked like he had shot a slingshot.
I got up from my seat, still grabbing my messy hair.
“What day is today?”
“It’s February 24. You’ve been down for a day.”
“her.”
As I quietly listened to what the priest was saying, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Paradise Academia differs from other RPGs in general, in that the main event proceeds according to the time in the game.
And at the start of the game, the first date set was February 23rd.
‘Now I can’t really take it off or put it on. You must have been drawn into the game.’
Have you ever dreamed of such a detailed dream?
The fear of death I felt when I was hit by a fireball.
Headache felt after waking up after losing consciousness.
And even the console screen that appeared in front of my eyes.
Everything that touched the skin and the senses was real.
Oh My God.
“How do you feel about your body?”
“Ah…! It’s fine. I heard you were seriously injured, but I don’t feel any pain.”
When I say in amazement, the healer smiles.
“Well, who am I? I am a priest of Canaan, the god of mercy, healing and life.”
I roughly recalled the moves I had seen in the game, and expressed my gratitude to her by drawing a sign with my right hand.
“Thank you so much for healing me.”
“Huhu, we will always be by the side of the candidates. Please feel free to come and visit us.”
Then, the priest also gently grabbed the long robe and responded politely.
A smile that melts even the heart. Indeed, it was a relaxed smile like a healing priest.
“Oh, and this one.”
The priest clapped his hands as if he had remembered something, then pulled a card out of his pocket and handed it to him.
“It’s a certificate of admission. I kept my belongings.”
Oh, yes.
There was also a kind of temporary ID that you automatically had at the start of the game.
I took the card that was handed to me and went through the written personal information. The photo is also embedded right next to it.
‘My name is Sanwoo Baek, and I am from the Eastern Federation.’
It’s a name I can’t even remember. It’s probably not a character that can be used as a companion, and it’s a kind of extra that doesn’t have much to do with the story in the game.
After confirming Aidan’s existence, I was sure that I wasn’t the main character… … .
‘Damn it, I mean, it’s a hoax. Even if it’s not the main character, wouldn’t it be nice if it was a plausible supporting role?’
Additionally, he is 16 years old. Originally, I was 23 years old. He was 7 years younger.
His face was also youthful for his age. I didn’t really like it, though.
Black hair, black eyes. Just the right apricot color, not too burnt or too bright.
If you set your nationality to be from the Eastern Federation in the game, it was the first basic appearance created.
The pinnacle of innocence.
It looks like this, so I can’t help but notice it.
“But what’s written down here?”
“It’s the dormitory address.”
dormitory!
yes it is
The place where everything begins and the place where everything ends. It is a shelter for candidates.
“It’s not far from West Terrier 9th Street, so it’s easy to find.”
“Thank you. Then I’ll be on my way!”
“May the blessings of the warriors on your path ahead!”
It felt quite strange to actually hear the lines that I had only heard in the game. My heart is pounding, and it feels like it’s not too bad to tickle a little bit.
Well, anyway, as long as it happened like this.
It seemed certain that I had fallen into the world of Paradise Academia.
If you see that the bug console has features that were not in the original version, and the number of bug fix rates is displayed, you will be able to return to the original world as soon as the fix rate reaches 100%.
‘All bugs in Paradise Academia must be fixed… … It may be more painful than I thought.’
As I left the healing center with such thoughts in mind, the dazzling warm sunlight poured down.
And the soft scent of nature.
Deng- Deng-.
A huge paradise island with the faint sound of clear bells. The scenery of the world I had longed for was like a beautiful painting.
* * *
“Uh-huh, here you go.”
As the priest said, it was not difficult to find the dormitory to which I was assigned.
A three-story building nestled between inns and shops.
I don’t think it’s that bad from the outside, but when I carefully opened the door, I found a lobby with a green carpet.
There was a chair or a desk for rest in the middle, but it didn’t look very good.
‘Well then.’
First of all, since the entire island is an academy and a huge training ground, all students are assigned to dormitories located throughout the island according to their grades.
From the top, it is divided into the manor, the upper house, and the lower house, and the manor is set as a dormitory assigned to either a real crazy talent or a high-ranking nobleman or royal family.
So, in a way, it was natural for a student named Baek San-woo, who had no affiliation, to live in the House of Representatives dormitory.
I went up the stairs and opened the door with the nameplate number 303. It must have been left unattended for a long time, and dust rises with a musty smell.
“Whoa.”
It was fortunate that this character did not seem to have allergic rhinitis. If it were real, I’d already have a runny nose and cough.
“Still, everything is there!”
As soon as you open the door, the space you immediately see was the front door and the space used as the kitchen. In addition to the fire pit, there is even a sink connected to the water supply.
When you go inside, another room comes out with a bed, a wardrobe, and a storage box designed to store personal items.
Just no more, no less, it’s the House of Representatives dormitory standard.
The interior, even later, you can decorate it with in-game currency. Now, just this alone will make you feel better.
And there was one more thing to check.
When I first came out to the pier, there was no situation, and it was a temple before, so I could only check the ‘cliché’ now.
When it comes to possessing a game, in nine out of ten, it has a special ability. It is a ‘privilege’ that is fundamentally different from the bug console.
I turned my head to make sure the front door was closed tightly, and whispered carefully.
“Status window.”
Unsurprisingly, a blue holographic window flashes.
How much is a web novel and a game jjajjab meal, this is just a pretense!
In reality, I didn’t see much, but in the game, I munchkin the status window???
The contents of the novels I have read so far run through me. Isn’t this the true taste of game fantasy?
But isn’t it a bit strange to have a status window?

“What else is this?”
I tried to touch all the menus that looked like functions, but it was completely messed up.
Neither the abilities nor the skill window was opened. The only function that works normally is that paradise patch.
“Status window! Abilities!!!”
Even if I shouted out words other than the status window, all that came to my mind was a horribly shattered screen.
“Isn’t it over the line to not be able to raise stats without knowing anything else??? Really, I can’t lose!!”
At that time, when I could not control my anger, a paragraph that was written in the Paradise Patch post came to mind.
「It may cause a crash in ps game menu execution, please restart it. There is no problem with the game itself, so please don’t worry.”
shit.
Of course, there will be no problem with play. But I think it will be a hindrance to my life in the future.
And it’s impossible to restart in the first place.
To drag them into the game at will and to seal the most important ability, it’s really a personality that makes Satan cry.
‘Ah, maybe this can be modified in the console window… … ?’
I tried to open the bug console window with a glimmer of hope.
—–
『Bug Occurred / System Error ERROR CODE: 001A』
[Administrator privileges are required to edit.]

Even the last hope was shattered.
This is what it means.
You’re telling me to survive in this world without a status window and fix bugs, right?
“haha…….”
A desperate laugh burst out of nowhere.
“I really want to go home…”
