Chapter 61: Last Hope (10)

...

Everyone was shocked at the results.

[YOU LOST!]

Jagel Meng was dumbfounded at the unexpected turn of events. He couldn’t understand what he was seeing. The game consisted of three races: Humans, Dead Mans, and Horned Monsters to fight against each other with different strategies. Meng chose the Dead Man race as soon as he started. It grew powerful as time went on and was also very strong mid-game. Jaehwan chose the Human race. It was considered to be the weakest of all three races.

Meng thought Jaehwan picked it because he was a beginner. However, he didn’t know Jaehwan chose it for a reason.

‘This game really is…’

If Jaehwan did not read the manual, or use his [Suspicion] to get to the system of the game, the fight would not have even started as Jaehwan was annoyed. Also, he didn’t need to compete in such a foolish game. But as soon as he realized the original game that inspired this copied version, he wanted to play. Through playing this game, he felt like he was taken back to the time when he was back home. Back to the time when he lived a normal life.

‘Maybe there’s a [Nightmare] who knows Earth.’

The game only differed in the name of races and small story details, while the remainder of the game was the same as the original on Earth which was called ‘Starcraft’. Jaehwan had to reconsider those [Nightmares] who blatantly copied the game from his homeworld.

While Meng was busy gathering resources to create a huge army to attack with later on, Jaehwan quickly rushed in as soon as he got his basic attack units ready, along with his resource gatherers to end the game. It seemed that the people in this world who played this game were not used to such rush tactics, leaving an unprepared Meng unable to fight back.

As the game quickly ended with Jaehwan’s victory, the crowd roared. Meng became infuriated.

“This is not fair! You must wait for 10 minutes before attacking! That’s the rule!”

“Rule?”

“W-we wait 10 minutes to give time to collect resources and…!”

“Is there a rule that requires you to wait?”

Meng couldn’t answer. There was no such rule.

“I thought so.”

Meng couldn’t believe it, but he had to accept the loss. This man was out of his imagination in every way.

“I lost.”

As the first game of the round of 8 finished, there was an intermission. Chunghuh and Mukeuk walked over to Jaehwan.

“You’re not even sweating!”

“Why would I sweat over a simple game?”

“Since when did you learn to play the game? I thought you only knew how to stab.”

“I know that game from my homeworld.”

Jaehwan then turned to Mukeuk.

“You, old man. You look strong.”

Chunghuh cackled at the way Jaehwan spoke to Mukeuk, one of the most powerful ones in <Chaos>.

“Who do you think is stronger?”

“Can’t say.”

Chunghuh was the strongest other than the Catastrophe that Jaehwan had met until now. But this old man also seemed just as strong.
