Ending Maker Episode 408
Chapter 4 – Chat Room #3
Outboxer009.
A legend of Heroes Chronicle 2 who maintained the top spot on the server for 36 months, but also the worst of the worst.
Also known as Aboki.
Those who didn’t know were amazed by Abok’s vast knowledge and transcendent interpersonal skills, but Kowabunga knew Abok’s true identity well.
A guy who is really crazy about Hero Chronicles 2.
A rascal who will do anything to tease Yellow Storm, the number 2 server.
Kowabunga, who had been watching Abok for the past few years, was confident.
The reason why Aboki is first is because Noboki is second.
If Noboki was in 100th place, Abokki would have been in 99th place. If Noboki was in 10,000th place, Abokki would have been in 9,999th place.
‘Anyway, this is really annoying.’
Even now, when I close my eyes, I can vividly recall the image of Abok dancing with his pants down, saying he would tease Nobok.
How many truly childish and wonderful jokes have come out of Abok’s mouth?
That’s a total beginner.
But that bastard is a super alpha male.
Yeah, I could understand it somehow up to that point.
It was also possible to accept it as the absurdity of the world.
Looking back, when Nobok wasn’t working, Aboki was a very trustworthy man, beyond just normal.
however-
‘What, what is it? What the heck?’
The information that came to my mind the moment I shook hands with Abok.
Because it was psychometry that was triggered reflexively, the information read also lacked purpose or unity.
shot.
deflagration.
Screams and explosions.
Faced with such unfamiliar information, Kowabunga unconsciously strengthened his psychometry and was able to recall clearer information and memories.
It was night.
It was a jungle, and my whole body was sticky with blood and sweat.
But the breathing was calm.
The sharp, sharp sense seemed to be able to read even the flow of the atmosphere.
Tadadot!
A gunshot rang out.
But he didn’t move. He held his breath and waited for the right moment, and at one point he slid his body and moved surprisingly quickly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The opponent fell after being hit in the head and chest by machine-like, precise shots that had been trained hundreds and thousands of times.
And then the gunfire continued.
He killed two more men, and took up a knife instead of the gun which was out of ammunition.
I held my breath and read the atmosphere.
I read a familiar scent in the thick gunpowder smell and slowly exhaled, raising my body.
“Gino.”
A blonde, blue-eyed woman with a tired smile on her face, just like ‘herself’, soaked in blood and sweat.
“Natasha.”
That was it.
What came into Kowabunga’s eyes as he blinked was Aboki – Kang Jin-ho, with his brows furrowed and a worried expression on his face.
“Hey, are you okay?”
The voice came from beside me.
AAA.
Yoo Ga-young.
But Kowabunga couldn’t react right away.
It was because I had not yet completely recovered from the memories I had received through psychometry.
“What is a nose and a bunga?”
Kang Jin-ho asked, letting go of her hand, and only then was Kowabunga able to come to her senses.
“Huh? Huh?”
“Are you really okay? You’re sweating so much?”
Namman Cat – At Kim Hye-eun’s question, Kowabunga wiped his forehead and was startled.
As Kim Hye-eun said, it was because she sweated a lot.
“Ah, that, uh. Suddenly. It’s okay.”
Kowabunga, who smiled awkwardly, sat down for a while, and Kim Hye-eun and Yoo Ga-young tilted their heads with a mixture of worry and doubt on their faces, but did not say anything.
Kang Jin-ho also just sat down next to Hong Yu-hee and didn’t ask any further questions.
‘What? What did I just see?’
It wasn’t a memory of a movie or game that left an impression on me.
Kang Jin-ho’s own experience.
What actually happened to Kang Jin-ho.
‘Oh, are you a soldier? Or a mercenary?’
Now that I think about it, it looks like the blonde, blue-eyed woman was wearing something that looked like a military uniform with some parts ripped here and there.
And shooting.
Gunfight.
“Hey, are you really okay?”
“Uh, yeah, yeah.”
Kowabunga, who answered AAA’s question awkwardly again, swallowed dry saliva and looked straight ahead.
Kang Jin-ho talking with Hong Yu-hee.
Aboki, a young girl who risked her life to tease Nobok.
Was that bastard really a mercenary who risked his life fighting? Did he even kill people?
It was that very moment.
“Huh?”
Kowabunga, startled by the sudden vibration of her phone, reflexively turned it on and saw the message from AAA.
[AAA: Hey, hey, isn’t Aboki really unexpected?]
[Kowabunga: Yeah.]
There seemed to be a considerable gap between the surprise that AAA had mentioned and the surprise that Kowabunga had thought of, but it was definitely surprising.
‘Key, you’re not a killer, are you?’
It’s like something out of John Wick.
Like a hitman for an organization.
Kowabunga, whose mind was beginning to run wild with delusions, swallowed dry saliva while looking at Kang Jin-ho’s expression again.
‘I think I’ll know if I just touch it one more time.’
What kind of person – or rather, what kind of person – are you?
Without realizing it, Kowabunga became polite and looked at Kang Jin-ho’s hand while drinking his coffee. Cordelia, who was watching Kowabunga while using her stealth magic, tapped the arm of Yuder, who was sitting next to him, and said.
[Yuder, Yuuder.]
[Oh, Cordelia.]
[Don’t you think Kowabunga has a crush on Kang Jin-ho?]
[… … On what basis?]
[No, that. As soon as I held hands with Kang Jin-ho, my heart rate? My face turned red, and I was still looking at him because I wanted to hold his hand again.]
When taken individually, they were all true, but when all that information was combined, the conclusion was truly bizarre.
[That’s not it.]
Rather, it was closer to being tightly packed.
Why is that?
Could it be that the superpower that Kowabunga possesses is information retrieval?
[Then, Yuder. What about AAA? I really couldn’t have imagined that AAA would be such a big sister.]
I thought he was a kind old man who enjoys dad jokes, but he turned out to be a pretty and smart older sister.
What do you do when your fashion is so unusual?
Is it something related to fashion?
Are you a vocalist in a band?
As Cordelia clasped her hands together as if her heart was pounding, Uther suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in a small voice.
[AAA- Yoo Ga-young is an agent of Barrier.]
[Barrier?]
[It’s a transnational intelligence organization that doesn’t belong to any country. It’s an organization that mainly focuses on things related to supernatural powers. There are many people with supernatural powers among its members.]
Cordelia blinked at Yuder’s explanation, then looked at Yugayoung again and sent a message magic.
[So, is it like SHIELD? Like the Avengers?]
[Similar. Yugayoung is an agent of the East Asia branch of Barrier. Her main mission is to monitor Kowabunga, who is an A-rank psychic by this world’s standards.]
Cordelia felt bewildered by Uther’s continued explanation, but at the same time, she also felt a strange sense of understanding and excitement.
Because it was a fairly plausible story.
[Really? So AAA came into our chat room because of Kowabunga?]
[That’s it.]
[Wow… … Now that I think about it, it makes sense!]
Cordelia, recalling her first encounter with AAA, clapped her hands in admiration as if her doubts had finally been resolved.
And looking at Cordelia like that, Uder said.
[Cordelia.]
[Yes, Yuder.]
[It’s a lie.]
[uh?]
[That’s a lie.]
At Uther’s words, Cordelia blinked as if her brain had stopped for a moment, and Uther burst into laughter again at Cordelia’s appearance.
Because Cordelia with her broken puppy-like expression was so cute and lovable.
[Wow!]
Cordelia, who realized that she had been completely fooled, beat Uther with her fists, but it was only a literal blow.
Uther smiled mischievously and accepted Cordelia’s whining(?), but then quickly calmed down and said.
[AAA is the president of an internet adult goods store.]
[uh?]
[Adult store. There, right? Adult toys?]
As if embarrassed by what he had said, Uther let out a cough, and Cordelia blushed and wiggled her fingers. As always, Uther read Cordelia’s wishes.
[Are you… interested?]
Instead of answering, Cordelia nodded very slightly, and Uther coughed again before handing Cordelia his cell phone.
AAA’s site.
Cordelia held her phone tightly with both hands and wiggled her fingers, her face like when she received the new book from Caesar, and Uther glanced at Cordelia and the phone screen.
And at the same time, Kowabunga, who was somehow looking for a way to reconnect with Kang Jin-ho, eventually chose Plan B.
‘Yeah, I guess he’s just a mercenary.’
Just admit it.
It was an identity I could never have imagined, but I accepted that it could be so.
‘If you think about it, I’m a superpower, right?’
A superpower more valuable than a mercenary.
Yeah, superpowered.
There are people with superpowers, but there might be mercenaries too.
‘Fuck, that can’t be happening.’
A superpowered person is a superpowered person, and a mercenary is a mercenary!
The friend I used to play with is actually a retired mercenary?
I wouldn’t even name a light novel like that –
“Kowabunga, over here.”
“Huh? Huh?”
Kowabunga, who had raised his head reflexively, looked at the hand that Hong Yu-hee held out, or more precisely, the object in that hand.
It was the goods of ‘Tanya Nunna’, who Kowabunga is personally showing his fandom.
It seemed like he remembered what I had said I wanted before.
“Okay, is this what you said before?”
“Oh, thank you.”
By the way, can I ask you about Tanya?
The person inside Tanya seems like a real foreigner.
Kowabunga opened his hand while thinking of his older sister Tanya, and Hong Yu-hee placed a key ring with a character picture on it on Kowabunga’s hand.
And at that moment-
Thanks to Kang Jin-ho, Kowabunga’s superpower, which had become sensitive, was activated once again.
“to?”
Hong Yu-hee’s memories.
This time, Kowabunga’s face became completely blank.
* * *
1. Hong Yu-hee, a successful 10-year-old girl who fell in love with Cordelia, hired a professional costume player to cosplay as Cordelia.
2. Request the costume player to act out an internal scene and create an event to meet Cordelia.
‘There’s no way I could have done that!’
No matter how much I thought about it, the two people who appeared in Hong Yu-hee’s memories were Yuder and Cordelia.
Uther and Cordelia from Heroes Chronicle 2.
What happened?
Why are Uther and Cordelia here?
Another world?
Entering another world?
In fact, Hero Chronicles 2 was something other than a game?
Could it be something like this?
Pleiades, the setting of Heroes Chronicle 2, has repeatedly faced the threat of destruction, and in order to find a way to overcome the crisis of destruction, information was sent to another world to create the game – Heroes Chronicle 2?
And with the help of Abok and Nopok, the rottenest of the rotten in the game, he overcame the crisis in Pleiades.
Yes, so Uther and Cordelia came to see the two of them to express their gratitude.
‘That makes sense.’
There are superpowered people and mercenaries, so maybe there could be something like another world.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
AAA- Kowabunga nodded again after immediately answering Yugayoung’s worried question.
‘Yeah, since AAA is a cheerful and slutty older sister who’s exactly my ideal type, there might be people like Yuder and Cordelia.’
In fact, wasn’t the possibility of the former much slimmer?
“Uh, um… … Well, if it’s okay, then that’s fine.”
“Okay, so let’s have fun.”
Kowabunga, who had made up his mind, grabbed Yugayoung’s hand, and Yugayoung seemed surprised, but soon laughed and nodded.
And ten hours later.
Ambitious vision.
“Hey, I’ll give you a ride!”
“Huh? Okay!”
Yoo Ga-young and Kowabunga, both very drunk, got into Yoo Ga-young’s car driven by a designated driver and headed to Kowabunga’s officetel –
That night, the officetel management office where Kowabunga lives reportedly received a complaint that the sprinkler in the underground parking lot was broken.
