1 – The end of the world

Web novel readers usually yearn for the world in the novel.

Thus, most people do not refuse to be possessed by the world in the novel.

To directly experience the fantasy world and directly meet the main and supporting characters that you envy.

In addition, Munchkin’s brute force and easy success.

Being possessed in the world of a novel is a happy thing.

But what if the possessed novel has a bad ending?

By the way, what about novels I’m not familiar with?

“We are making an urgent report from the Countermeasures Committee. On the 16th, the TF unit and the Salvation Army group, which were formed for the Gangwon-do defense plan, were wiped out.”

I was watching the emergency briefing of the task force in a daze like a person who had lost my soul.

I couldn’t hear the government spokesman’s words well.

“The specific death list is as follows.”

The names of people that should never come out of his mouth.

“Grade 1 Hero Choi Ji-seong, Rank 1 Hero Han Chul-woo, Rank 1 Hero Yoo Seong-won, Rank 1 Hero Uyuna, Rank 1 Hero Ha Yeon-si, Rank 1 Hero Mo Ye-ji, Rank 1 Hero Ko Soo-yeong….”

All of them are people I know.

It has to be.

Because they are the main characters of this novel.

“According to this, the task force will organize the Hero Association and the Emergency Defense Response Headquarters to find ways to solve future problems, while doing its best to defend Gangwon-do. Residents of Gangwon-do, please feel free to engage in your livelihood. ….”

Those who couldn’t die died.

No, those who shouldn’t die have died.

I don’t understand.

Does it make sense that the main characters of the world in the novel die?

“… Crazy.”

They were the axis and center of a group of heroes who would save this world from perishing.

That’s why they were the only hopes to keep this precarious world from collapsing.

How come they were wiped out when only the middle and late stages had been developed yet?

Why do they….

I was in the midst of confusion as I grabbed my forehead.

Drreuk!

The smart watch, which had been set to vibrate mode, rang.

[Emergency Reserve Hero Recruitment Information]

This is the real situation. As of the current time, the reserve hero mobilization order has been declared. Prospective heroes who have received the text message, please visit each district office as soon as possible.

Gathering date and time: current time.

Gathering place: The Hero Association department located in each town office.

Required items: ID. Fully armed.

Target: Academy graduates 24 years of age or older.

“… ….”

I was also a hero.

Although it was an ordinary choice unlike the main and supporting actors in this world, it was an undeniable fact.

But a mobilization order?

The only mobilization order for reserve heroes is when the country is in serious danger.

But why… ?

“… ….”

It was when I was checking the text again and again.

A deafening explosion was heard outside the house.

“… What.”

I hurried to the veranda and opened the door.

I didn’t even have to look for the source of the sound, I saw the cause as soon as I opened the door.

A circular orb that looked like a huge black hole was sucking in everything.

Koo Goo Goo!

Even I, who was relatively far away, could feel the pressure on my skin.

“… Elder Hall.”

At the time of the Outbound Crisis 150 years ago, the monster that killed 70 percent of all humanity was wide open.

Hazard level Cthulhu class.

Its diameter alone is more than 10 km.

The Elder Hall is named because it is similar in power to Cthulhu in mythology.

Buildings, civilians, and even heroes were being sucked into its mouth.

“Does this make sense?”

There was no time to be blank.

The size of the Elder Hall has become much larger than before.

It must be proof that you are getting closer to me.

I hurriedly armed myself and went out of the house.

No, I was going to leave.

[There is a significant lack of power to prevent disaster.]

[Determine power shortage.]

[Failed to capture the main story.]

[The story is restarted.]

“… Are you saying you don’t have enough power to prevent disaster?”

The world went dark.

* * *

I remember the time when I was possessed by the world in the novel.

As I was preparing to go back to school, I read a novel that didn’t get a lot of purchases as usual, and then clicked the Buy All Volume button as if I were donating.

I didn’t particularly like the novel.

I accidentally received a huge amount of free cash through an event, but the expiration date was about an hour.

I used it because I thought it would be better to buy something rather than just blow it.

And after reading the novel roughly, as soon as I gave it 0.5 Stars, I was possessed.

So I don’t know exactly what this novel is about.

To the extent that I thought it was just an academy thing.

Should I say it’s fortunate that I paid attention to the first volume?

So it was only natural that he gave up returning when he first came here.

What if I die after going on about a subject I don’t even know the details of the novel?

After graduating from the academy, he gave up being a regular hero and lived a modest life as a mercenary.

As most people possessed in the world of fiction, I was very interested in fantasy elements, so I honed my talents and never starved to death.

I thought that a normal but happy life would last.

I certainly thought so….

“… It was 15 years ago.”

Back in the past.

“Right after graduating from the general military academy, even with the cadet notebook.”

When I checked the date, there was a general military academy graduation ceremony three days ago.

And in 7 days, there is the academy entrance ceremony.

Those who graduated from general military academies usually enter the academy to become heroes.

Ymir, so, including me.

“Why did I return to the past?”

There was a situation that came to mind without thinking deeply.

The absence of the main characters in the novel, and the destruction of the world triggered by it.

It seems that my role in this world was unexpectedly important.

I lived an ordinary life for 15 years, ignoring it head-on.

“No. I thought things would go well on their own if I stayed still.”

In the end, it must have been because of that illusion that the power shortage was judged and the world was reset.

So, is this reset infinite?

Can it be reset even if it fails again?

… Not sure.

So you can’t ignore the main story this time.

“Ha ha. f*ck.”

My head hurts.

In the end, do you have to live while sacrificing your life to save the world?

It doesn’t suit me, who has lived a normal life.

Of course, there are experiences I learned here, but even those experiences are too weak to change my nature.

It’s f*cking… Really.

I was in the midst of being so depressed.

The sound of the heartbeat was unusually loud.

Similar to the sound of stamping one’s feet.

I swallowed at the sound of that heartbeat.

[…] Check the visitor.]

15 Years ago, the guidance of the system that came to my mind immediately after arriving here was starting again.

[…] Visitor recognition complete.]

[Start a new story.]

[Check the information of the person.]

Perhaps this is a special privilege only for those who have visited this world.

Just like 15 years ago.

[Name: Ymir]

Unusual name that hasn’t changed yet.

Ymir.

But surprisingly, this guy is an extra.

Can an extra’s name be so unique? It’s such an unusual name.

Maybe he’s a character who plays an active part in the second half of the novel.

I only read the first volume, so how do I know?

Anyway, it’s time to check the full-scale information.

“Whoa.”

After taking a deep breath, I checked my abilities.

[Abilities]

[Strength 4]

[Health 5]

[INT 5]

[Feat 4]

[Technology 5]

[Lucky 3]

“As expected, it was initialized. Write.”

When I heard that it would be reset, I was vaguely convinced.

Initialization of abilities developed over 15 years.

That’s why it’s a perfect white paper.

“I’ve been working really hard… It sounds like a dick.”

The average stat of a normal adult in this world is 3 to 4.

So, this body is at a slightly better level than the average person.

Actually, I had already expected it, so I wasn’t particularly frustrated.

Having lived in this world for 15 years, I can raise my body to a certain level.

It hurts to be blank, but….

Ha ha.

… Here are the characteristics.

[Character privileges]

-Contribution system

-Contribution system

Again, there were no characteristics other than the ‘Character Perks’ effect.

Aside from that, he has no talents, skills, constitution, or imprints.

Perhaps you want to customize it yourself.

This [Personal Perk] Trait is a system that allows you to acquire even talent.

[Contribution system]

You get points as much as you contribute to the world. You can use the Contribution Shop with the points you earn. In the Contribution Shop, you can buy everything that is evaluated by temperament, such as talent, talent, imprint, constitution, and skill. In addition, you can purchase lower-end equipment and consumables.

* The more you affect the main characters, the more points you get.

* Points are earned for everything else that counts as an achievement.

* Talents, attributes, imprints, constitutions, and skills are applied immediately upon purchase.

And the contribution system is an upgraded version of the contribution system.

If the contribution system is a general store, the contribution system is a luxury store.

Just like 15 years ago, the contribution system was closed.

It’s been a while since this opened.

That’s because an event that will make a big contribution to the world will happen a long time later….

“First of all, I should write the talent.”

Following my memory, I checked the contribution system.

It is important to write the first talent.

Because the direction of development is completely different depending on what kind of talent is written.

By the way, something is strange in the contribution shop window.

[The points consumed in the previous round will be refunded.]

[Acquired 999,999 points.]

From noble mtl dot com

“…… ?”

There are 994,999 more starting points than 15 years ago.
