World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 19 So what's the probability?

huge iron gate.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but seeing that it was not rusted and gave off a soft light, I could tell that this door was unusual. Especially when I see Tan who is making a fuss next to me as if he is going to die excitedly.

“Master, open the door quickly.”

“No, what the hell is this? Won't you speak straight?”

“ah! Once you open the door, I'll explain properly! Hurry up and open it!”

Up until now, I had been forcing myself to match the rhythm of Tan, but I couldn't just blindly open a door that looked extremely suspicious at first glance. In addition, when I put my hand on the door, it bounced out with a tremendous reaction force.

[There is a strong seal on the door. Unable to access.]

[Unsatisfied with the conditions required to break the seal! The seal cannot be lifted!]

[Report to the lord about the hidden space in the mine to receive a special reward.]

[Skill excavation has been created.]

A door with a strong seal. Looking down at his trembling hands, Jaeyoung grumbled at Tan.

“You can’t even open it because it has a strong seal on it.”

“Of course there will be a seal. That's why I brought you here.”

Tan replies with a look in his eyes as if no one knows. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said curtly.

“What the hell does that mean? I'm not some kind of seal releaser, so what to do with me...”

“You... you really don't know much about yourself?”

Tan continues to tell a story that is completely incomprehensible. However, Jaeyoung couldn't open his mouth when he saw the little devil with a serious expression he had never seen before. He had a really sad look on his face.

“Ah-oh! Seriously, why would you give this kind of power to a human... If at least you become a fucking imp, I'll somehow calm you down and raise you.”

If he was an imp, Tan, who had bitten his lips to the point of getting goosebumps, looked at him again with serious eyes and asked what he would do if he was an imp.

“How much do you know about the power you have?”

“what. Are you talking about probabilities?”

“okay. Whatever you call it, the power to directly intervene and artificially manipulate and twist the laws of the world. Do you know what you can do with it?”

Tan's question. However, Jae-young, who had changed jobs in an unexpected way, shook his head at his question.

“no?”

“Everything!”

As soon as Jaeyoung's answer came out, Tan immediately shouted. He spoke quickly, as if excited. For a long time, Tan had been arguing about Jae-young's stat, Probability. After listening to Tan's explanation in silence, Jaeyoung began to organize what he understood.

“So... you're saying that this probability I have is the power necessary for you and other transcendent beings to operate?”

“then!”

“It usually builds up little by little over a long period of time naturally, but the amount is extremely small?”

“then. I don't know how that's possible, but the probability accumulated in you is abnormally high. The probability obtained from the transaction with you alone is enough to accumulate for 500 years!”

At Tan's words, Jaeyoung could understand why Tan coveted the probability he had until now. And I was able to roughly draw in my head the concept of the game play method that the game developer pursues.

“Hmm... that’s right... I get it for now, but why did you bring me here?”

After roughly acquiring the necessary information, Jaeyoung returned to the main topic and asked Tan. Then Tan pointed to the door and said.

“You can open that door.”

“what? As I said before, there's a seal...” ”

It's a seal, and it must be the nonsensical conditions set by the chicken wings. But even if no one else knows, you don’t care.”

Tan said, looking at the soft glow emanating from the iron gate with a frown on his face as if he felt uncomfortable just looking at it.

“The power to artificially twist and intervene while breaking all the laws of this world and ignoring causality. do you already have that? All you need is just...”

Tan smirking. He whispered to Jaeyoung, his evil eyes twinkling.

“It's just a will.”

Korean branch of Arcadia.

In order to deal with the unprecedented situation of the deletion of the beginner village that recently occurred, the employees, who had returned weekends and stayed up all night every day, were sitting at their desks almost dead.

“Huh uh uh uh... is it the end?”

The Quest Development Team, which had a bigger impact than any other department. Even the team leader muttered as if he was tired of everyone who had never taken a proper rest for even a minute and a second from making and putting adaptation quests to replace beginner villages in thousands of villages and estates across the continent.

“Chief... All updates have been applied. Approval for the application was rejected by the head office...”

The way the script and data of the quest are sent to the head office for review, approval, and application. That's why, at the words of an employee who confirmed that the final confirmation from the headquarters had fallen, all the team members sighed and spat out one word at a time.

“Ugh... I really can’t do this anymore.”

It's something I don't want to do or never do again. Considering the characteristics of each village and territory, selecting an NPC to help, and designing and developing a quest that fits the probability. Dozens of team members worked hard on this task, but despite that, they suffered from so much work that they barely managed to finish it after working hard while sleeping for almost a week.

“It’s already been a week since I couldn’t go home.”

“When was the last time I washed...?”

“Chief, I can’t get married like this. It’s a torch to ask why my girlfriend is so busy.”

A situation where everyone talks a lot about this and that. Although it was still only 1:00 PM, the team leader sighed and rose from his seat in the atmosphere of intensely wanting to leave work.

“For now... wait. I will suggest to the manager to leave early and come.”

All the team members' eyes lit up when the team leader, who was more anxious than anyone else, came forward to make a suggestion.

“and! really?”

“Oh oh! After all, the chief!”

“I love you, chief. Do you know my heart?”

When the faces of his teammates who had been dying until just now started to come alive, as if they hadn't done that before, he smiled and said.

“Hey, I haven’t even gotten permission yet, but I’m already waiting for you to stop drinking kimchi soup...”

Beep. Beep Beep -

Before the team leader could finish his words, the computers throughout the office started beeping loudly. Everyone's faces began to stiffen at the sound that began to ring out sharply, as if it were a disaster alert. The team leader, who checked the warning notice on the monitor with trembling hands, muttered involuntarily.

“What the fuck...”

A huge phrase was written on his monitor in bright red letters.

[Contamination of myth-level quests.]

[693 related quests.]

It seemed that the early work had passed.

* * *

Virtual reality Arcadia started its official service in less than half a year, but the history in that world is so long that thousands of years have been recorded.

The Great War between good and evil. A unification war stemming from human greed. Tribal wars that began with the prosperity of each race and territorial disputes. Until the last invasion of the demon realm that tried to occupy Arcadia.

From the great and bold wars involving all races to unification wars of large and small humans and fights between kingdoms. If you look back on each detail, you will be in awe of who made it, a history that is realistic enough to feel. In addition, the continent of Arcadia, which is full of forgotten and erased secrets that have not been recorded, is full of hidden artifacts and ruins waiting for countless discoveries and excavation expeditions.

“will?”

“You're unaware, but with the amount of probabilities you have, you can just ignore these insignificant seals. It's just that the owner doesn't want to do that.”

“What are you talking about? So what should I do...?”

“Open it again, this time with the will to open it.”

He wondered what the difference was, but Jaeyoung took a deep breath and filled his head with thoughts of opening the door. Then he carefully put his hand back on the door.

Uh-

uh- Unlike before, I didn't feel the reaction force, and I felt the touch of cold iron in my hand. And texts appeared before his eyes with a strange resonant sound.

[The seal of the door reacts to the player.]

Do you want to break the seal?]

[Required probability: 15000]

I exchanged a unique class pickaxe with a probability of 8000 from Tan, but a door that requires twice as much probability as his. In a situation where most of the remaining probability had to be exhausted, Jaeyoung hesitated for a moment, but gave strength to Tan's eyes full of expectation and curiosity.

“Open.....” “

Sesame

!”

With a strange resonant sound as if something was being broken, the iron door slowly began to slide. And the status messages that fill my eyes.

[Probability is consumed.]

[The seal has been released.]

[I found an unknown celestial altar.]

[A huge discovery! You have discovered an ancient ruin that has not been recorded in history.]

[The title First Discoverer has been obtained.]

[Intelligence increases by 15.]

[Detailed investigation of the ruins is required.]

“Hahaha! How does it taste, you damn chicken wings! Didn't you say I'd come in someday?”

As soon as I opened the door, Tan rushed inside and jumped around excitedly. Jaeyoung, who was flapping his little bat wings and punched upwards, looking at the person he liked as if he was pathetic, soon began to look at the place of the visit.

“Can you tell me now? Where the hell is this place?”

At that, Tan smiled and replied.

“Do you know what this mountain is called for us?”

“What is it called?”

This place is widely known as Pagon Mountain. However, Tan said with an evil smile as if that was not the case with demons in the underworld.

“A high heavenly stairway. We usually call it... a fucking hole in chicken wings.”

“...?”

It was a moment that seemed to require a lot of additional explanation.

While Jaeyoung and Tan were chatting in the game, Arcadia's Korean branch convened all departments for another emergency meeting.

“Eh.... We will start an emergency meeting from now on. I know everyone must be very tired and having a hard time, but I ask for your understanding as the matter is a matter.”

The heads of numerous teams, including the quest development team, planning team, balance team, and technical support team, gathered, but all of them were proud of dark circles and sitting with a big face.

“Once, exactly 32 minutes ago, a warning message about the contamination of a mythical quest would have been delivered to all departments. As a result of checking the related issue, it was confirmed that the content was hidden in Pagon Mountain. I have attached the history of Arcadia on page 3 of the meeting materials, so please take note of this...”

While the planning department manager was directly presenting the related agenda, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han read the historical background of Mt. asked

“Wait a minute... Pagon Mountain is the realm of angels?”

“According to the setting we confirmed, Mt. Pagon is the place called the entrance to the high heavens in the past, and it is said that the first angel first descended to the continent of Arcadia.”

The very old past of Mount Pagon. Information that had not been recorded in human history, the management team also had information that they would not have known about if it had not been for this incident.

“Really.... It's a game you wouldn't know. Aren’t there too many detailed settings that we didn’t even plan?”

As if the quests developed and managed by the company were just the tip of the iceberg, countless quests and settings that they didn't know about popped up one after another, and even the executive director who recommended them was dumbfounded.

“so.... What is the name of this tainted mythical quest that we couldn’t figure out?”

Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han's question thrown without much thought. However, the development manager's face was stained with bewilderment at the question.

“I have to confirm more, but now, after continuing all the quests related to the contaminated quest, the final result is the quest...” “

Exactly...?”

Managing Director Kwon Myung-han urged the manager to ask the manager who was hesitant to say the last word.

“This is the Second Holy Magic War.”

“.....”

His answer filled the meeting room with cold silence from everyone, including Executive Director Kwon Myung-han.
