World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 10 Slime is Too Strong (6)

Main Scenario Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Emerging.

Chain Quest Slime's Rage.

Slimes suddenly go crazy. As a result, not only the users who were angry at the unexpected death, but also the game company, who neither intended nor expected this situation, could not come to their senses.

“What the hell are you talking about! Did the main scenario quests get renewed?”

Another urgent meeting. At this emergency meeting, which was convened every day, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han's face began to distort as he listened to the report from the quest analysis team.

“That's it.... As a result of checking the data log on our side, data patching of unknown sources was made in real time. Shortly thereafter, a boss monster that we had never planned was created in the slime habitat that is currently in question, and is currently causing enormous damage.”

Boss monster.

They are special beings with a level of strength different from ordinary monsters, regenerated at specific intervals, and deeply involved with rare rewards and hidden quests.

Hundreds of boss monsters created by numerous development designers, scenario writers, and a team in charge of balance. They were scattered all over the continent of Arcadia as thoroughly planned and intended. Each with an important role in a particular adventure and story. However, among all the boss monsters they planned, there was no existence for the beginner village.

“A boss monster was created? Which guy are you talking about?”

The chief designer of the design team who remembers all the boss monsters he created with his own hands. In response to her question, the presenter turned over one slide. Then, on the screen that occupied one side of the wall of the meeting room, a slime with bright eyes that became pure just by looking at its round, green appearance appeared.

“What is that...?”

A slime wearing a huge crown. Seeing the slime, the head designer's face was stained with embarrassment. That's because of the countless monsters created by her hand, the one on the screen was not in her memory. However, the presenter continued to explain the slime with a serious face as if he didn't care about her reaction.

“Boss Monster King Slime. The slimes are the lords and the ones who lead the slime hordes that are currently attacking the novice village.”

[Lv. 100 Boss Monster King Slime]

-HP: 12000

-HP: 3500

-Physical Defense: 250

-Magical Defense: 120

-Physical Attack: 550

-Skill: Lord's Roar. jump.

-Attribute: Rapid regeneration of kinship consciousness. hatred of humans.

A sigh came out of the mouths of those who were looking at the briefly written King Slime's abilities. Anyone could see that it was not suitable for a beginner village.

“No, level 100? Does it make sense for monsters like that to appear in a village where new players and beginners gather?”

“Executive Director, we must strongly protest this to the head office. I don't know what the developers there are up to, but it's an abuse of authority and an abuse of authority to keep intervening in this way without consulting us, the operating entity.”

“you're right! We cannot condone the practice of making and applying ridiculous quests like this, as well as arbitrarily modifying the slime's stats. It is said that it is the main scenario, but there is almost no information we currently know about the main scenario.”

Managers and team leaders of each department began pouring out all sorts of complaints at this time. However, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han was silent as he read the information about the currently active quests in the game in the report and was lost in thought.

‘Main Scenario... Deleting the Killer Quest... and creating Slime's Rage?'

Since the notification that the main scenario was created four days ago, incomprehensible situations have continued to occur in the game. From the appearance of novice killers to the unknown stats of slimes. And even the current slime rebellion. After solving each puzzle in his head, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon looked at the people sitting in the conference room with a stiff face and asked.

“You guys... do you know what our company is aiming for?”

“yes?”

When everyone was making puzzled faces at the sudden question, he said.

“Infinite possibilities, infinite freedom.”

A world in which their involvement is completely excluded, which is different from the existing games where game companies proceed as planned. Arcadia's autonomy was guaranteed to such an extent that even if a certain group of users took over the game and acted tyrannically, they would never intervene. Therefore, the authority given to Arcadia was also very limited, even to those who were in charge of the overall operation of the game.

“Do you really think that this situation was planned by us... or by the head office? The lazy people who entrusted all the detailed planning and events to us, saying that they were annoying?”

“That word...”

“This is the user's work. Creation of the main scenario, beginner killer slime stat adjustment, and now this boss monster. entire.”

“There's no way that's possible...”

“Isn't the quest's creation log telling you this?”

Creation log of the “.....” quest.

A mysterious killer who appeared in the slime habitat. After his bizarre behavior, which was thought to be a concept, the expressions of those who began to see a series of situations that began to unfold strangely changed. Then, with a shocked face, he asked if he had reached a conclusion similar to that of Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han.

“Then... now all of this is because of that one user...?”

A mysterious user whose access to information is strictly restricted. There was no clear physical evidence, but I had a suspicion close to certainty that the mysterious user was the originator of all these incidents. Headquarters' real-time data patching or quest creation, which otherwise could not understand their intentions, were nonsensical, and everything fit in the context.

“Then, what should we do...”

“No matter what, if the situation is caused by the user’s play, there is nothing we can intervene. In principle, the stories in the world of Arcadia are not created by the company, but by the users themselves.”

Circumstances in which, in principle, they should not intervene.

However, at the words of Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, Director Kang Tae-Hoon, who is in charge of planning and development within Arcadia, jumped up and jumped up.

“That doesn't work. It's not exactly confirmed, but the penalty for the main scenario currently in progress is too high.”

< If the quest fails, the beginner village will be permanently destroyed. >

A phrase at the end of this quest given to users. This phrase made everyone, including Director Kang Tae-hoon, uncomfortable.

“Destruction of the beginner village? I don't know if they really want to destroy the village itself, but if the beginner's village is really deleted from the game...”

Director Kang Tae-hun blurted out his words as if he didn't want to even imagine. How many arrangements have been made in the village so that new users can adapt to the first virtual reality system called Arcadia while repeating vigil for such a long time? From quests for the basic adaptation to specially designed hunting grounds. To have all of that fly away in an instant was literally feeding the entire development team a huge and bulky taffy.

“The damage will be more than imagined. Both for our users and for our company.”

Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han let out a small sigh as he saw General Manager Kang Tae-hun trembling as if he didn't want to even imagine it. Apparently, the meeting was going to be longer than he thought.

Arcadia's largest community, Arfandia.

This large community, with over 100,000 concurrent users, was explosively gathering users due to a series of sudden events.

-Main scenario? suddenly?

-No, it just comes in without warning. What do you know?

A quest linked to the suddenly announced main scenario.

At first, many users were enthusiastic about the news that a large event had started, but soon they were shocked to see what was happening in the beginner village.

- These slimes are not the slimes you originally knew. be respectful

-Anyone who touches the little slime is fucked.

-Ugh hahahaha I went to catch him and he was caught.

The entrance to a beginner village that has literally become a field of corpses. A group of green slimes continued to approach beyond the bodies of countless users who had fallen in gray.

Kwuuuuuuu!

Kyuung!

Slimes that look cute and innocent on the outside. However, to the users who collapsed one by one from their torso headbutting or several focused attacks, they were fear and despair.

“ah! It's getting really dirty! How many times has this been!”

Chew.

Vern, who had cut another slime using his warrior skill Spinning Slash, exclaimed nervously. I don't know how many they've already killed and defended this beginner village, but they were really coming in endlessly.

“But how long are you left? Let’s hold out a little longer.”

“that's right. I thought it would be impossible because they told me to hold on for three days, but time passed like this before I knew it.”

[Remaining time: 14 hours 21 minutes 24 seconds.]

The slimes were powerful and there were too many of them. But so did the users. The number of new visitors and subscribers is increasing day by day. In addition, users who had already returned to a certain level of growth were able to rapidly become stronger in the battle against the slimes.

“Still, isn’t it worth holding on after winning the slime slayer title?”

This title is acquired after killing over a thousand slimes. Thanks to the users who obtained this title, which increases damage and defense only for slime, they were able to defend the entrance of the beginner village more stably than before.

“Well... that's right.”

Bern was also able to reap many harvests after taking that title. I leveled up 4 times in 2 days and also got a magic grade item... Still, after holding only slime so repetitively, I was about to vomit just looking at its round green appearance.

“Let’s try a little harder. If you finish this quest well, I think the reward will be pretty good.”

With someone's encouragement, everyone guarding the entrance to the village again prepared for battle. Looking at the slimes popping up again from far away.

“Hmmm.....”

Jaeyoung was lost in thought as he looked at the window in front of him.

[Killing beginners]

Killing newbie users who have not changed jobs.

-Number of novices killed: 32576

-Time remaining: 10 hours 23 minutes 14 seconds.

A mission that was given a week's time. With less than 12 hours left in the mission, Jae-young couldn't help but look back at his actions while looking at the number of novices he had killed.

30 thousand.

It is true that more than 30,000 novice users went straight to the nether road because of Jaeyoung as soon as they set foot in Arcadia. Perhaps when he found out about this fact, it was such an enormous evil act that he would be chased by everyone at that moment. He would be like that too...

“Kiki Kiki Kiki... I think I've never seen a demon-like contractor like you among real humans.”

It's to the point where even this little Satan who keeps giggling around excitedly admits it. The feeling of being recognized for evil deeds by the real devil was a bit strange, but Jaeyoung was satisfied with the probability of the huge numbers accumulated in a little over two days.

-Probability: 22576

When catching and killing people one by one, the probability, which was so hard to collect, piled up exponentially without Jaeyoung noticing.

“So what are you going to do now?”

“what?”

“What is it? It seems that the situation has stabilized a lot now, but if we just sit still like this, humans will probably win?”

As Satan said, the slimes approached enough to threaten the center of the village in the early days, but now they were all dying at the entrance of the village. If there are no major incidents, the defense will succeed and the situation will end with the victory of the humans. However, as the main culprit of this situation, Jae-young stood up as if he had made up his mind.

“I can’t let it go like that.”

“What is that bizarre outfit?”

Seeing him wearing a red hood so deeply that he couldn't tell if it was originally that color or if it was stained with blood, and holding a rusty steel sword in one hand, Satan asked with an absurd look, but Jaeyoung smiled and said,

“No matter what, we have to decide on one side.”

Fight between slimes and humans.

Jaeyoung decided to participate in the fight.

On the side of non-human slimes.
