System window opens.
With that short command, the dam blocking the border collapsed.
Tiring. Tiring. Tiririring!
Bells ringing and overlapping countless times.
At the same time, my mouth opened without realizing it as I saw countless hologram windows crashing over me as a huge wave.
‘crazy. ‘Why are there so many?’
It felt like I was facing homework that had been pushed back all summer vacation in elementary school. No, it’s more than that.
At first glance, there were well over a hundred hologram windows filling the air.
‘It would be perfect if all of that was a level up notification.’
Of course, this is just my empty wish, and there is no way that many hologram windows have piled up in just the past three days.
I read through them in order, starting with the first system message that appeared the fastest.
congratulations! [Update] has been completed!
[Update] We would like to express our deepest regret that the progress has caused some inconvenience in using the system.
A little inconvenience. I’m so sorry. This is quite annoying from the start.
Memories of being on the verge of life and death just because of that ‘slight inconvenience’ came back to me, but my brief anger quickly calmed down when I read the next message.
– As an apology, we would like to pay reasonable compensation.
“oh.”
Yes, this is correct.
Certainly, it is fundamentally different from a run-of-the-mill store that wields the four major swords of regular inspection, temporary inspection, extended inspection, and emergency inspection as if it were a report to the world.
Give reasonable compensation for your hard work
Well, wouldn’t the King God system’s positive function be to help users in both ways for comfortable play?
[Update reward] has been paid to your inventory.
Would you like to check out new items? Y/N.
compensation. New item.
Those two insignificant words awaken my long-forgotten childhood innocence.
A moment that made me more nervous than when I opened the Christmas present I received when I was seven years old.
I answered with both excitement and joy.
“open.”
Tiring.
[Pocket Watch I Don’t Know Who Made It Grade: None
Restrictions: None
Description: A pocket watch manufactured by someone unknown.
Very hard. At first glance, it looks like an old and broken clock, but upon closer inspection, it also looks like an old and broken clock.
What is this?
My brain stopped for a moment and I looked down blankly at the pocket watch in my hand. It was exactly as written in the item description.
Even at first glance, or if you look closely, it is a broken clock. I can easily compose a poem with this right now. Title pocket watch.
Even if you look closely, it looks old.
Even after looking at it for a long time, it was broken. It sucks.
I feel like I’m going crazy.
When I was seven years old, it wasn’t enough that Santa Claus, who brought me Christmas presents, entered the front door’s password and entered majestically, and it could be compared to the feeling of betrayal I felt when I saw him kissing my mother.
‘Is this… an update reward?’
The back of my head felt tingly and I tried to come out of shock.
‘No, no. ‘This can’t be happening.’ It’s one of two things.
Either it was a surprise hidden camera prepared by the system for me who was tired of the tiring and difficult situation, or there was something special hidden there that I didn’t know about yet.
‘This is the only thing that popped up as a notification, so it’s not a hidden camera. then······
After gathering my distracted mind, I carefully examined the pocket watch in my hand.
And soon, on the back of the watch, which was shiny with someone’s hand stains, I was able to see something that I had not noticed before.
‘for a moment.’
A blurry trace that was almost erased, perhaps impossible to see with the eyes of an ordinary person.
When I generated energy and let it flow through my eyes, I was able to see faint words through my improved eyesight.
“This can’t be…
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
“It’s nothing, you bastards.
bang!
The pocket watch that was thrown away with all its might
It flew like a cannonball and hit the wall. No, to be exact, I smashed the wall. Kugoogung!
A wall falling apart. Beyond that, there was Hyuk Moo-jin, looking in this direction with his mouth wide open.
“What… Wow, is this really a secret attack?” In some ways, a sneak attack is a sneak attack.
I was hit in the back of the head like this in a situation where I had no mental preparation, and my lungs were throbbing as if I had been stabbed by a knife.
“Mujin. dizzy. “Mujin.”
“Captain! Stay still! “I will protect you!”
“you are? me?”
Hyuk Mu-jin paused for a moment and spoke vaguely.
“That’s right. Shall we bring the enemy Daehyup?”
“······When they call us, they end up making trouble for us. don’t do it.”
“Ah, what is it? I was surprised. “It’s not a sneak attack, is it?”
“Yeah, man. So don’t make a fuss and just pick up what’s there.
Hyuk Moo-jin, who was spitting out a small amount of spittle in the cloudy dust, carefully picked up the pocket watch.
“Uh, Captain. “By any chance, the item you’re talking about isn’t trash made of iron, is it?”
“sorry. I guess that’s right. And just in case, I’ll take back the term trash.”
Hyuk Mu-jin, who, as expected of an unlucky person, sensed my discomfort, rushed over and handed me a pocket watch.
“But is this exactly a tip?”
“Broken clock.”
“A watch? “Something the size of this palm?”
To Hyuk Moo-jin, who was unfamiliar with the unfamiliar shape of the pocket watch, I answered in a sad voice.
“Yes, it’s trash. Very hard and very useless.”
“Why do you have something like this? Plus, it’s broken.”
“······I also happened to get it, you bastard, don’t talk nonsense.”
Each word becomes a blade and cuts through my heart.
I swallowed back the tears that were welling up in my eyes as I unintentionally checked the strength of my pocket watch.
‘The item descriptions were all true.’
Some kinds of truth sometimes feel too harsh. For me now, this pocket watch is like that.
‘But why did the system give us something like this?’
It’s not even a regular quest, and the reward you get after completing the update is such garbage.
I looked at my pocket watch again with my last hope in mind, but what was waiting for me was even greater misery.
‘It’s a really broken clock, this.’
First of all, the timing was tight.
Even though it is already approaching midnight, the hour hand on the pocket watch points to five o’clock.
Even there are no numbers written down, so you have to judge the direction by eye.
‘I can’t even see where the minute hand was sold.’
At this point, I wonder if I can call this a pocket watch.
Congregational poetry. Or maybe the congregational account is too much.
‘It’s not like you can adjust the time separately. However, it doesn’t seem to be constantly moving. ‘What on earth is this?’
I shook it around and held it close to my ear, but there was no ticking sound, not even a faint noise of internal parts fitting together.
There is only one advantage. The only thing I can say is that it is hard enough not to be scratched, let alone crushed, even if I press hard on it…
‘Could it have been given to you to use as a weapon? Or is it a shield for emergencies?’
Suddenly, a scene that appeared like a regular in a war movie flashed through my mind. Bang,Private Johnson falls with a sharp gunshot.
However, what the platoon members who sensed the death of their comrade and ran to the surrounding area saw a bullet lodged in the mini-Bible that Private Johnson, who had always been a devout believer, always carried in his heart.
“Wow, it seems like I’m going crazy right from the start.”
Seeing me muttering to myself, Hyuk Moo-jin, who had been watching me from before, cautiously opened his mouth.
“Hey, captain?”
“Don’t call me in a coy voice like a eunuch. “I’m really dying.”
“yes. “Can I give you something?”
“f*ck you.”
“Anyway, are you going to throw it away?”
Hyuk Moo-jin pointed at the pocket watch in my palm and continued as if trying to ignore me.
“No, if you are going to throw it away, I would like to carefully suggest that you give it to someone who is the commander’s right hand and heart and has unchanging loyalty.”
“You’re being cautious, right? “You look very confident now.”
“Well, that’s just the way it is. If you’re not going to use it, there’s no need to have it.
“Why do you want something like this?”
“I heard it’s a watch. Look at that too
It’s like an object, but you carry it around even if it’s broken.
“Wouldn’t that be cool?”
Seeing Hyuk Moo-jin making a logical argument for some reason, I quietly quenched my appetite.
‘Actually, I don’t think it would make any difference if I gave it to that guy…
For some reason, it feels like a shell. It feels like a thorn hanging around my neck.
If I gave Hyukmu-jin this damn pocket watch like this, it would feel worse than going to a Chinese restaurant and eating fried rice without the spicy jjalbong soup.
‘There may be something I don’t know yet. After watching it for a little more time, if you think it’s a real item, it’s not too late to give it to you.’
In fact, the system did not always provide huge rewards.
I don’t know exactly how the rewards are determined, but I have completed numerous quests and received useless miscellaneous items.
They say it’s a mountain of dust, but before you know it, the truck has accumulated all the miscellaneous items in its inventory.
The only thing that bothered me was that the broken pocket watch I was holding in my hand was actually a reward for completing the update.
“ »
you.
At that time, when I was just nodding my head without saying anything, Hyuk Moo-jin’s soft voice reached my ear.
“Hey, Captain?”
“why.”
“What can I say…
“Not yet, just wait a moment. “A month, no, just 15 days.”
Full moon. Half of a month.
That’s the final review period I decided on
It was liver, and Hyuk Mu-jin’s face brightened. “Then you will give it to me in 15 days?” “uh. “Of course, this is after confirming that it is of no use to me.”
“Oh, anyway, since it’s something made in the West Station, there won’t be any technicians who can fix it. “It just looks pretty, so you wouldn’t know it if you carried it around for style.”
Hyuk Mu-jin grinned unpleasantly and continued.
“But what do you call this thing?”
“Not a pocket watch… but a pocket watch.”
“Okay. The name is pretty too. “If you attach a leather string to that ring and wear it around your neck, you will attract attention wherever you go.” “okay?”
“yes. “I think it would be better if it was shiny silk instead of leather straps.” “oh. okay?”
It was a remark befitting the eldest son of a wealthy linen store family, but it was a great opinion, so without hesitation, I tore off the hem of the golden silk robe I was wearing, put it in a loop, and hung it around my neck.
“how is it. Am I pretty?”
“Huh, by any chance is your name Geumtaeyang? “It’s very bright.”
“You’ll like it if I give it to you as a gift, right?” “Captain, to that extent for me…
That was when Hyuk Moo-jin’s eyes trembled with emotion. I continued speaking while looking happily at the pocket watch hanging around my neck.
“Not you, Lord Soje.”
“Wouldn’t you feel relieved if you received a gift like this? is not it?”
“answer.”
“······I think you’ll really like it. yes.”
The eyes turned cold in an instant. The moment when Hyuk Moo-jin poured out silent criticism with both eyes.
I felt dozens of people approaching the shrine and stuck my head out the window.
“Stop, stop, stop! If you move, it will cut you. congregation!”
In the flickering torchlight, Jeong Ho-gun, who had been silent for a moment at the head of the Gold Guards, opened his mouth.
“What nonsense is that?”
“You stupid junky bastard! “You came here without even knowing about cancer relief!”
“No, so what is this all of a sudden? ”
“Shut up! Call it a clock! hurry!” “······clock.”
“I told you to shut up!”
Looking at his venomous eyes like an angry puffer fish, I think I should stop playing around at this point.
I, who showed great kindness, kept my mouth shut.
I asked Moon Jeong-ho.
“So, why did you come?”
“I need you to follow me for a moment.”
“Are you the kind of person who comes if I come and goes if I go? And I’m really busy right now. “There’s a lot to do.”
“Your Majesty is calling.”
“ah.,,
Then I have to go.
