Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 378:

Black rain.

It was literally black rain falling from the sky.

Patter.

Jincheol, who was entering the city and fighting, touched his cheek when he suddenly felt a touch.

‘what?’

It’s black.

At first, I thought a piece of the creature had flown into my cheek. But one of the players was startled and pointed to the sky.

“…What is that again?”

Jincheol could also see dark clouds covering the sky.

It was not an ordinary dark cloud pouring rain. The clouds are literally as dark as if the sky had been painted with ink.

Just looking at it gave me an ominous feeling. Rain was falling from that big dark cloud.

Jincheol touched his wet hair and opened the status window.

‘There’s nothing wrong.’

thank god.

If it had been an enemy attack, there would have been no way to respond.

Because the gladiator didn’t have the talent to knock down the clouds hanging in the sky.

“Ugh!!”

But soon, screams began to be heard everywhere.

It was the players who screamed. Dallas asked in an urgent voice.

“Are you having a problem?”

“I’m fine… but those mercenaries…!”

mercenary?

Jincheol quickly shifted his gaze towards the mercenary group. Jincheol’s eyes widened.

“…I didn’t see it wrong, did I?”

Drip.

The bodies of the mercenaries were slowly being soaked by the falling black rain.

The area where the black rain fell was rapidly darkening, like ink spreading across water.

One of the players fighting alongside the mercenaries asked worriedly.

“You’re okay, right?”

“huh? “What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?”

“That guy’s body…”

Did he realize the seriousness of his embarrassed face? The mercenary NPC called Uncle finally looked into his own body.

“!”

Before I knew it, my entire body was covered, and even the hand holding the weapon was being engulfed in black light.

“curse?”

The mercenary NPC was embarrassed. It was the first time in my forty years that I had been subjected to magic like this.

No, it’s not a detox, it’s a quick treatment from a priest… It would be unfair to at least spend the gold I earned and then die…

The mercenary who was thinking suddenly realized.

‘…Have I really lived for forty years?’

They say that at the moment of death, you can see the life you have lived like a ray of light. There was nothing he could see now.

Even the faces of my father and mother. The faces of the wife and daughter who were killed by bandits 10 years ago.

It didn’t come to mind.

But his thoughts did not last long.

[Deleted.]

Notification ringing in my ears.

As soon as that notification was given, the black-stained mercenary disappeared.

The players watching fell into panic.

“This is human sacrifice!”

“Even if crazy Amman’s achievements are good, deleting his account is a no-no!”

“Avoid the falling ink!”

It’s like adding insult to injury.

As if they had noticed the soldiers’ agitation, the contaminated creatures’ attacks became more intense.

There is a need to calm the confusion.

Jincheol reassured the players.

“Everyone calm down! It wouldn’t be human sacrifice. Didn’t you say that, Mr. Human sacrifice requires complex preparations. Above all, if it was going to evaporate under the black rain…”

Jincheol pointed to his soaked hair.

“We would have been forced to log out a long time ago.”

The players felt reassured by Jincheol’s words. I looked at my body soaked in black rain and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Dallas’ complexion was not good.

“…Mr. Jincheol, it seems like the entire mercenary group was hit.”

Flash!

Shining staff.

Dallas had been using all kinds of recovery magic against the mercenary group that had been dyed black earlier.

But nothing worked. I have never seen such a curse in my entire life.

“what? “Why are you suddenly grabbing my wrist?”

“Stop talking nonsense and follow me!”

“These are faces that everyone has seen, even if they can’t. okay. Okay, so please take care of my hand. “What are men doing in broad daylight?”

The players first led the mercenaries to a place where they could avoid the rain.

Meanwhile, the doubts did not stop.

Why is black rain only effective for mercenary groups?

In any case, the battle could not continue in this mess. Dallas first hid in a back alley to avoid the creatures.

“Jincheol, there was a player in that mercenary group, right?”

“Yes, there was only one person.”

“Is he okay?”

Jincheol looked at the alley on the other side.

“older brother! Come to your senses, brother!!”

A man urgently examining the mercenaries stained in black light. Even though he was hit by black rain, he looked fine.

“Yes, I think you’re okay.”

Dallas bit his chapped lip.

“It’s a guess, but it seems like black rain only works on NPCs.”

“…yes?”

“I can’t be sure because I’ve never heard of this kind of magic, but… as you can see, the only ones that are fine are the players. “Damn, what happened?”

Jincheol looked up at the sky.

If, as Dallas said, the black rain pouring from those dark clouds evaporated the NPCs…

this was not normal.

‘There’s no way black rain can only fall here.’

At that moment, the faces of NPCs with whom he had built relationships appeared in Jincheol’s mind.

As I imagined them evaporating like mercenaries, a bitter feeling suddenly struck me.

Dallas seemed to be thinking the same thing.

Dallas, who rarely showed an expression, opened his mouth with his brow furrowed.

“Jincheol, could you please contact Xernis? “I think we should tell everyone about the black rain.”

An airship wandering around the city.

Schubert looked at the dark clouds floating in the hologram.

The dark clouds currently floating around Fate World were just the tip of the iceberg.

His gaze was directed at the dark clouds gathering from the corners of the world.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a pattern like this again.”

In the previous worldview, other beings were enough.

Because there was no need for two ‘deletion systems’ to exist.

However, players appeared, including X, and began to interfere with the operation of the deletion system.

They defeated the worshipers and eliminated in advance the elements that would become the catalyst for the deletion system.

“You probably won’t be able to deal with it using common sense.”

The black rain falling on the world was no different from Blossom’s tears.

Blossom’s agony has become extreme due to the appearance of the player.

Because Dark Cloud was ‘another deletion system’ that arose as a result of that influence.

It’s praiseworthy just to advertise against other beings, but another deletion system is added here?

As a developer, I could guarantee this.

It was impossible for them to protect Fate World.

Schubert said while watching Blossom’s brain waves.

“…But you have to do it. No, even if you fail, you have to struggle until the very end.”

Either positive or negative data. A huge amount of data was needed.

Because that was the only way to wake Blossom.

Schubert crossed his arms and took a step back from the hologram.

Is it because we have witnessed dozens of births and destructions?

Even if it was just a little bit, I felt like I had become attached to Fate World.

‘If I were to make one wish, I would hope that you would protect both Blossom and Fate World safely.’

He smiled bitterly.

‘But it’s really just a fleeting wish. ‘Because reality will not go as imagined.’

Pro-Fate press EX broadcast.

‘Fate Talk Talk Show!’, hosted by former idol group member Seo Bo-young, was a program with outstanding viewer ratings and atmosphere.

“I can’t even force you to laugh at this…”

All the PD could do was scratch his head.

This was an emergency live broadcast due to breaking news, and the news was extremely grim.

Guest Han Cheol-hoon continued speaking without notice.

“Yes, anyone can see that Maisie made a big mistake. Even if I understand everything Maisie has done so far, I can’t possibly understand this ‘Black Rain’!”

Black rain that evaporates NPCs.

As rumors spread among players, the community was also in an uproar.

Dark clouds simultaneously sprinkled black rain all over the world.

Han Cheol-hoon presented the data and spoke passionately.

“In the case of the Sea of Lovers, it is said that hundreds of NPCs simply evaporated. As you know, the Sea of Lovers is one of the best tourist destinations in Fate. “The role NPCs play there is unimaginable.”

Even if they are not Fate, NPCs play an important role in the game.

NPCs help players, make the game’s economy run, and make the game’s story flow.

This is why NPCs are declared invincible in most games.

“But Maisie went against that common sense. A rain that inflicts fatal injuries only on NPCs without causing any harm to the player! “This really seems like an act of giving up on Fate service.”

Han Cheol-hoon’s remarks drew sympathy from many people.

Furthermore, do you mean that the NPCs in Fate are just regular NPCs?

Fate’s NPCs were evaluated as being so realistic that they were said to encourage over-immersion.

It was natural for players to feel greatly heartbroken after losing the NPC they had been interacting with.

Seo Bo-young nodded with a gloomy face.

“But the bigger problem was with Meiji. According to a Mage insider, this black rain incident was unexpected even by Fate’s game masters…”

The problem was that there was no sign of this black rain incident being resolved.

Because Fate game masters had no authority to interfere with Fate. Schubert, who had the sole authority in the world, disappeared for a long time.

Na Gap-su, who was watching the studio, scratched his chin.

“I heard it right even though it was a mess.”

“Hey, isn’t our broadcasting station going to fail as well?”

“I don’t know. So, the higher-ups should have been good at walking the tightrope. “I should have just gone the comprehensive broadcasting station route.”

Naga Gap-su’s head was complicated.

EX Broadcasting was a broadcasting station that grew along with Fate.

It is obvious that if Fate fails, it will suffer great losses.

“I already feel like all these things have been overlooked.”

Na Gap-su pointed at the nape of his neck and left the studio. As I was listening to the dark story, my throat burned for no reason.

Click!

Naga Gap-su took out a cold can of coffee from the vending machine.

“anarchy. “This is an extremely difficult time.”

As Na Gap-su took interest in Fate late, he was very disappointed.

I didn’t jump into Fate myself, but it was fun just watching other people play…

“It’s a shame we’re already saying goodbye.”

So, Naga Gap-su had no choice but to place his hope.

To ‘the man’ who ran and jumped while others were crawling and flying!

Gapsu Na took out his smartphone and opened his favorites. Meiji Broadcasting Station’s lights are still off.

“But where are you and what are you doing in this major incident? “You’re really good at it.”

Where and what do you do!

The man, X, was eating diligently in heaven.

X put his hand in, heedless of the intense heat of the heavenly hot spring.

What came out of X’s hand was none other than an egg!

-Heavenly Hot Spring Egg (Unique)

This is an egg cooked in heavenly hot spring water. Thanks to the effects of the heavenly hot springs, it contains incredible nutrients.

Special Effect: When consumed, maximum vitality and maximum mana increase by 3000 points each. Additionally, depending on the class, one specific stat increases by 10 points.

How could a cat just pass by a stove?

X was extracting every penny from the heavenly hot springs.

As if drinking the hot spring water wasn’t enough, they even cooked and ate the food ingredients they had stored in the hot spring water.

“Chuck, black rain…”

Of course, news from the ground was heard through whispers.

X muttered his mouth but did not stop turning his head.

I thought about what black rain was and how to destroy it.

It’s so bad that everyone who sees it gets a lump in their throat.

The first time X stood up was when he dipped the last egg in spice salt and poured it into his mouth.

X opened his mouth in a dull voice.

“Tsk tsk tsk. There’s nothing I can do about it. “Let’s do that.”

I found the answer!

X did not disappoint the expectations placed on him.

X put on his equipment and came down to the ground.

The trip to heaven was long and short. The impressions were extremely simple.

X quenched his appetite.

“I’m craving cider now.”

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
