The Ruined World Was Mistaken for a Game-Chapter 21.2: Leon (2)
Translator: Dreamscribe
Though various things happened, Jinwoo eventually left the place with a completely worn-out Haebyul.
Haebyul recovered quickly.
“I’m glad you’re feeling better.”
“Yes. Hehe....”
She quickly regained her mental composure and kept stealing glances at Jinwoo.
Haebyul: Is he a main character NPC? Wow....
Players could recognize other players. That was because they could open the Info Window. While personal information could be hidden, the Info Window itself could not be concealed.
Also, players had things like titles or icons above their heads. Thanks to that, even NPCs could easily identify players.
-He really seems like a protagonist.
-Evanth’s NPCs were really pretty too, but he’s on another level. Definitely a main character.
-The viewer count keeps going up ㅋㅋ. Will probably set a new record.
-Are we finally entering the main story?
Goblins had appeared in the forest, and the Adventurer’s Guild was issuing various quests saying the forest was showing abnormal signs. The community was speculating that something was progressing.
And now, Corrupted Goblins had shown up, and Leon had appeared!
Even though he had been confirmed as an NPC, people continued to refer to Jinwoo with honorifics like “that person” or “sir knight”.
Being handsome really did solve everything.
Jinwoo and Haebyul exited the forest and came to a stop near the lake.
“They won’t be able to follow us this far.”
“Thank you for saving me!”
"Think nothing of it."
Jinwoo’s voice was gentle.
His beautiful voice seemed to softly caress the ears.
His demeanor was polite, and a gentle, good-natured aura flowed calmly from him. He was truly like a being from a fantasy that couldn’t exist in reality.
But because this was virtual reality, such a perfect being could come into existence! That’s what Haebyul and the viewers believed.
‘Jackpot!’
Haebyul instinctively knew this was big.
She had to extract as much information as possible from this NPC who looked like a protagonist.
“Ah! My name is Haebyul.”
“I am... Leon, a traveler.”
As Jinwoo said this, his gaze momentarily filled with sorrow. His clear eyes wavered gently, making the mood even more vivid.
-No way he’s just a traveler. Just look, he’s clearly someone important.
-He’s gotta be a crown prince in disguise, right?
-Seems like a saint. Or an apostle of the gods.
I have an incredible backstory!
So investigate me! Hurry!
It was almost as if he were saying that.
He looked like someone hiding a huge backstory.
Jinwoo gave a slight smile, brushing off the mood, and met her eyes.
“Haebyul-nim, you’re a hero from the outside, aren’t you?”
“Eh? Ah! Yes, that’s right.”
“I heard that just as the Goddess Ella brought light to the world, she summoned heroes like you to this place.”
That was the given setting.
“Please, lend your strength for the sake of Arsilan.”
Jinwoo bowed respectfully as he spoke.
These words weren’t part of an act, they were sincere. And because they were sincere, their impact was tremendous.
-I’ll give my life, just sell me a Soul Link!
-I'll quit my job and come right away.
-Fuuuuuck, for Arsilan!
-Aaaaaah! My life for Arsilan!
“Yes, leave it to me!”
Haebyul nodded with a resolute expression.
There was no way she could refuse a request from such a dazzlingly radiant figure.
Now was the time to start providing information to players and fostering their growth. If the early entrants, the 3,000 advance players, cleared the path well, the latecomers could grow quickly too.
[Archmage has donated 100,000 won.]
Please ask about healing magic. Attempt #2
Jinwoo made another donation.
Haebyul was about to react out of habit but held herself back and cautiously opened her mouth.
“Um... that magic you used to heal me.”
“You mean divine spell?”
“Yes, that. Could I ask how to learn it?”
It was a direct question. It could have come off as rude, but Jinwoo smiled gently, showing no signs of discomfort.
“If you go to the Church and receive baptism, you’ll be able to handle divine power. Once you become an apprentice cleric, you can start learning divine techniques properly.”
“So I just go and ask them to give me baptism?”
“Of course. But you must receive training beforehand. Divine power doesn’t mix well with other magic, so you’ll need to choose carefully.”
Unless you were someone like Jinwoo, the Archmage, it was difficult to learn both.
-Thank you! Teacher Leon!
-I completely get it now. Even if I don’t, I feel like I do.
-If Teacher Leon had taught me, I would’ve gotten into Seoul National University.
-Just seeing his face makes me happy.
-I want private lessons toooo!
Haebyul asked questions on behalf of her viewers, and Jinwoo answered them with the utmost sincerity.
-Haebyul, ask about his first love.
-Ask what his type is.
-How are babies made? Uheuheuheu
Haebyul: Shut up! Before I cut your damn necks! You're banned! You’re banned too!
Maybe because of all that had happened, Haebyul had become quite aggressive.
Change isn’t always beautiful. Sometimes it comes with pain.
Just like with Haebyul now.
‘Hmm....’
Jinwoo quietly nodded.
