CH 2

I never thought there would be a Part 2 of this ruined work.

* * *

A familiar ceiling, a familiar bed.

“Where did I see…… Heok!”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I jumped up.

“Ahurgh!”

My heart ached terribly. The aftereffects of the penalty still lingered.

“Hurt…….”

I stood up, rubbing my chest.

When I was a warrior, I was fine with two or three penalties a day. Even if I vomited a bowl of blood and felt like my heart was being ripped apart, I would soon be fine if I endure it. But to faint after one penalty…….

‘This body is ridiculously weak, isn't it?’

I even seemed to feel pain more sensitively than when I was a warrior. If I held on to this while in Part 1, I might die of shock.

But who was I? Was I not someone who never give up against suffering, who endured for four years in the Department of Architecture, which was famous for its many assignments?

* * *

I was an ordinary university student.

One of many university students who come to Seoul from the provinces and live on the money their parents send them.

There were no signs on the day in question.

As usual, I came back home from class and did my assignment. And did you fall asleep after emptying a can of beer?

But when I opened my eyes, I was in a book.

At first, I didn't even know that this was inside a book. Of course. As soon as you open your eyes, who's going to think, ‘Oh God! Is this the phenomenon of possessing books?’, right? Of course, I thought I was drunk.

Drunk with a can of beer. I've gotten a lot weaker……. With these thoughts in mind, I tried to go back to sleep.

However, at that very moment, a long sentence came to mind in front of my eyes.

[Welcome to <I Became a Warrior who Saved the World>!

You are Adela Helsington, the protagonist and warrior!

Please act freely during normal times and follow instructions at important crossroads!

Instructions are displayed in stages according to their importance. Stage 1 is 100% degree of freedom, Stage 2 is 50% degree of freedom, and Stage 3 is 5% degree of freedom.

Depending on the degree of freedom, the range of choices widens, and there is a penalty for refusing an instruction with a low degree of freedom.

Now, until the day <I Became a Warrior who Saved the World> is completed, fighting!!!]

<I Became a Warrior who Saved the World> was a fantasy novel I read a while ago. It was a typical adventure growth fantasy to gather comrades and defeat the demon king, but it was ruined because it was boring.

The existence that called me into the novel was the ‘author’, and I called him ‘the ruined author’.

He usually left me free, but if he thought I'm going to deviate from the original, he'd give me instructions. I had to ignore them, dramatize them, or copy them like a parrot according to their importance.

Having become a warrior like that, I rolled like a dog for a year and saved the world from the hands of the demon king and died.

Waiting for me to open my eyes in the original world.

“But Part 2…….”

I read Part 1 over and over again, but I have no idea what Part 2 was about.

For the third time today alone, I sighed and opened my hands.

“Undine. I won't be angry, so come see me.”

Undine poked her face out of my hair.

- ……Really? You're not going to talk to yourself, laugh eerie, scare me, or anything like that, right?

“Eung. Sorry.”

I patted her and sorted out the questions for a while.

“How long has it been since I died?”

- Well, I don't know exactly because I went to the spirit realm right after you died.…… It's been about 5 years in human time?

It hasn't been that long. Then I don't know if I can meet with my old comrades.
