All of a sudden, they didn't feel estranged from each other anymore.
"One way or another this game or this hell will end tonight."
Sungwoo looked at the camera and smiled. He made a relaxed laugh.
"Kyungsoo, let's go."
Sungwoo and Kyungsoo walked forward naturally without feeling nervous.
"Alright! Everyone, get ready to go back!"
"Pack the aerial weapons and take care of the wounded!"
Everyone started to follow Sungwoo as if it was natural..
As if nothing had happened, they started preparing to go home.
"Wow! It's finally over!"
"I want to go to sleep quickly."
All of them chose Sungwoo's choice.
'Of course, I can't end like this. But the system gave me the worst route I didn't want.'
Sungwoo thought that he gave the best punch to the creature that he could not defeat.
'It doesn't matter what happens now.'
If no one chooses, nothing happens. And the game doesn't work without anyone playing.
Whooooo-
The Messenger lowered its attitude toward the vacant lot where Sungwoo and Kyungsoo were standing. There were familiar faces on the deck such as Jisu and Hanho.
"Sungwoo? Is it a real party, isn't it? You are not paying lip service, right? I look forward to it! "
Sungwoo nodded at Hanho's shouting. He was serious about throwing a party.
"Ugh? What's this?"
But then, strange letters began to appear in everyone's eyes.
- $%#@ !g#
It wasn't the system's fault.
"Can you see this?"
The message was unfamiliar to everyone else but familiar to Sungwoo.
- 꾉꿹%%%&@긝!(g#)
-쉙누ㅐㄺ빍!%$$##%!!&*
- The client-server connection is terminated due to a fatal error. (ERROR CODE:0014231532)
A system error has occurred.
The Messenger's power was turned off and stopped in mid-air. Everything generated by the game stopped working.
As if he was waiting for this moment, Sungwoo took out the 'Imoogi's Scale' from his pocket. It was hot.
"Are you finally here?"
An 'unidentified helper', which had no presence, finally decided to intervene.
"It's all over now. I don't think you're just trying to give me a useless hint this time, are you? As promised, tell me how to destroy this game," Sungwoo said sharply as if he was fighting.
Then something amazing happened.
"It's time to bring the system down."
The voice of the one who caused the system error was heard.
***
What is the essence of this game?
Everyone has questioned it at some point.
Who caused this, and why?
Why should we have to go through this?
But they had to hold back such questions because they were busy surviving day to day.
Survivors explored 'how do I kill monsters' rather than questioning 'where did they e from?', and focused on 'how they could obtain' rather than 'how they worked.'
It was natural. So, they became a 'player'.
"Is it almost over now?"
But now they couldn't help but ask.
"Given that they are appearing like this, right?"
The last chance has e. If they didn't know now, they would never know.
Sungwoo raised his head and looked into the air. He couldn't see anything, but he could see that something was there.
"What was that voice just now?"
"What else is showing up?"
Other players also raised their heads and looked around.
"What the heck is the system error?"
"The relaxation magic is not working!"
They could hear the voice that said it was time to bring the system down.
Soon the voice was heard again.
The voice of a woman was echoing through the air. Unlike any passive intervention until now, she has revealed herself in person. Even though she knew the system was watching her, she appeared openly, blindfolding the system.
The players began to whisper here and there. It was a strange situation for them.
While everyone was looking at Sungwoo, he asked, "Now? What is different now?"
