A Fun Walpurgis Event!
A Fun Walpurgis Event!
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing—!
A siren suddenly blares across all of Seoul.
"What the...?"
Isn't this an air raid warning?!
"What the hell."
Did North Korea fire a missile or something?
But the answer.
Was soon made clear.
"......."
In the middle of the dark clouds pouring down rain.
A vortex is swirling in the shape of a donut.
Huuuuuuuung!
Dark clouds being sucked up into the giant hole.
Rumble!
Bang!!
Lightning bolts tangled and flashed inside the passage.
"No way... huh......."
I'm speechless at the sight, my sense of reality fading away.
However, the hell on earth.
Was only just beginning.
Kugugugugugung!
Thick stems, as thick as undersea cables, poured down in droves from the tunnel.
Noise shimmering around the steel tentacles.
The space itself is breaking like a broken TV, and digital codes are flashing.
And.......
The flashy forest of buildings in Gangnam went out all at once, as if by promise.
Teodeong!
Total blackout.
Even in the midst of that, only the Witch Gallery screen flickered.
[Notice] 2nd [Walpurgisnacht] Event Held.
Judging that the Witch's survival is threatened.
In accordance with gallery rules, we will hold the 'Walpurgisnacht' event.
Date: From the date of notice
Area: All of South Korea
Duration: Until dawn of the same day
Rule 1. This event is 100% voluntary. Those Ma-bung-i with tough territory defense can skip it.
Rule 2. While the [Virtual Integrated Server] is running, penalties for activities outside the territory are exempted.
※However, please observe the duration and withdraw in advance. Don't get greedy for points like last time and end up dead.
That is all. Hope you have a fun festival.
LifeLogout ♥: 404 Newbie, if you see this post, flee to a secluded place. In the meantime, the Ma-bung-i will draw the Hunters' attention.
"Draw... attention?"
As soon as the notice went up.
An eyeball descended from the tunnel in the night sky.
Kkul-leong kkul-leong—
For an eyeball, it was incredibly huge.
It was big enough to easily cover Seoul.
At that moment.
Skinless monster creatures poured down like rain from the pitch-black pupil.
Kyaaaaaaak!
Kyakyak!!
"Mom......."
What?
Draw attention?
Draw my ass!
This is just the end of the world!
Just as I was dumbfounded.
A blinding flash erupted right on time.
"Ugh... what is it this time!"
Seogeong—!!
"?"
The eyeball that looked like it would crush Seoul was split in half in an instant.
Hwareureureuk!
Blue flames surged violently, burning the monsters.
"This is driving me crazy......."
Is it the SS-class Hunter the Gallery Admin mentioned?
The blood drained from my face.
That kind of monster was coming to catch me?!
It's no exaggeration that they'd smash my head in 0.0001 seconds!
"H-have to run, fast!"
I immediately turned and ran.
"Huck, heock!"
Maybe it's thanks to the agility boost from leveling up.
Running was faster than a bicycle.
But that's all.
......5 minutes was the limit.
"Ha, haa...... Ugh! Sseup... heu......."
Uooooo.
My lungs are going to burst first at this rate.
A fishy taste is rising from my throat, it's unpleasant.
I feel like throwing up.
"Ugh."
What's the point of high agility.
When I have a trash body with only 2 Stamina.
"......What should I do now."
It's impossible to escape the city on foot.
That's why I came out to the main road to catch a taxi.
It's absolute hell on earth.
Kkiiiiiik!
Bang!
Cars crashed into each other and were crushed into a mess.
"Get out of the way!"
"Hey, taxi! Taxi... uh?"
Kung!!
"Mom! Mommmmmm!!"
People were busy screaming and running away.
How am I supposed to escape in this situation?
It's driving me crazy.
At that moment.
A huge crowd flocked to the subway entrance.
"Uh uh uh? W-wait! Just a second!"
I was swept up by the people and tossed around....
"Ah-ut!"
I fell miserably onto the asphalt floor.
These people, seriously!
I gripped my squeaky hammer and glared, but.
A rough hand reached into my field of vision at the perfect timing.
"Uh......?"
Yeah, that's right.
I knew there was still warmth left in South Korea.
"Thank you, mister......."
Thinking I was saved, I grabbed the hand and looked up.
But.
"......Hiiik?!"
Red blood is flowing from the man's torn forehead.
There's even a thick steel pipe stuck in his chest.
"A-are you okay......?"
Dry, lifeless eyes.
The pupils are dilated and look pitch black.
S-scary!
Then a scream erupted from the crowd.
"Argh! That bastard! That bastard bit someone!"
"Fuck! Z-zombie! It's a zombieeee!!"
"Get away! Don't come here! No. Aaaaaaah!!"
People passing by were terrified and scattered in all directions.
Corpses had suddenly risen and started running wild.
Keureureu.
Kyaak. Kakeuuuu.
Ttakttak. Aeu....
......I'm fucked.
Of all places, I got stuck in the middle of a city infested with zombies.
"Hiccup... hic."
I trembled and made V-signs with both hands.
I swallowed my snot and tried to smile as brightly as possible.
"Hi... V, V-sign......."
There's an old saying, you can't spit on a smiling face!
So please, spare me!
Waaaaaaah!
At that moment, the zombie grabbed my wrist.
Chak!
"Aaaaaah! Wait, stooop! I'm tiny so I don't taste good!"
But soon....
The zombie creaked its jaw and opened its mouth.
"Are you that 404 Newbie?"
"Huh?"
No way.......
The zombie suddenly flicked my forehead.
Kkong!
"Ouch!"
Three more zombies approached, shuffling along.
The gazes looking down at me are strangely familiar.
"For a little shrimp."
"Acting all cocky."
"If you tease us again, you're in trouble."
Only then did I grasp the situation and asked stammeringly.
"......CorpseFucker?"
The zombies frowned with their rotting foreheads instead of answering.
"But why are you still here?"
"Stupidly."
"Not even running away."
It was a blunt voice, but a wave of relief suddenly washed over me.
"Heuk......."
Damn it.
Is it because my body is a kid's?
Tears are welling up.
No.
Don't cry.
It's the first offline meeting from the community.
I have to show a high-spirited image.
An elegant first impression.......
"Waaaaaaah!"
I grabbed the zombie's tattered clothes.
"I really ran hard! But my legs are short so it's hard... sniff! I bumped into things here and there... I really tried hard! Hiccup!"
The zombie tried to put a hand on my shoulder, but made eye contact and put his hands behind his back.
"CorpseFucker-nim. What do I do now?"
"......Hmph, what do you mean what do you do. You said you caught two Beaters earlier. You must have gotten points."
"Points?"
As I asked while sniffing, the zombie let out a deep sigh.
"The notice...... sigh, never mind."
And he raised his index finger.
"Witches can buy various things with points. There are four main categories: 'Stats, Familiars, Structures, Equipment'. So buy what you need right now."
Oh?
What.
There was such an awesome cheat?
As soon as the explanation finished, familiar game category tabs popped up before my eyes.
【Status Window/Skills】
【Craft】
【Toy Familiars】
【Queen's Treasury】
The names are slightly different.
But the 4 categories are the same.
"Hmm."
I have 20pt.
Since I dealt with a killer who had professional training.
The reward seems pretty decent.
Anyway.
What I need right now is.......
Wouldn't it be a friend to help me escape this mess?
I pressed 【Toy Familiars】 without hesitation.
"Huh? What is this."
There was almost nothing I could buy with 20pt.
Most of the screen is locked.
Professional combat training, my ass!
The Beaters were total trash!
Damn it!
At least the one item activated at the very bottom is a comfort.
《Wooden Horse》
The kind kids play with between their legs.
A toddler's wooden horse.
It looks exactly like that.
It doesn't look reliable at all!
"Huuung......."
It's sad.
But since there's no other choice.
It can't be helped.
I immediately confirmed the purchase.
Then, birthday poppers went off, and colorful confetti flew about.
Poof!
A long wooden stick appeared in my hand before I knew it.
"......What is this?"
It was a toy with a wooden horse head at the front.
The round eyeballs were bunched to one side.
It's sticking its tongue out, looking like an idiot.
The zombie next to me also asked as if he was dumbfounded.
"You...... what on earth did you buy?"
"Don't ask. My heart hurts toooooo...."
At that moment.
A woman ran up the subway stairs in a hurry.
She has short hair and is wearing a neat suit.
"The shelter is this way! Civilians who haven't evacuated yet, please come here!!"
She, who was leading the people, made eye contact with me, who was standing blankly among the zombies.
"Hmm?"
"......Uh?"
She immediately drew daggers in both hands.
Cheok!
What, have I been discovered already?
"Don't worry! Big sister will save you!"
"......Yes?"
Thankfully, it seems she doesn't think I'm a witch.
I hugged the wooden horse and shook my head.
"......Ah, no. I'm fine."
Haven't you seen zombie movies?
You'll just die if you try to show off.
So you should run away quickly.
But I soon realized that thought was naive.
Seureureung—
A bluish aura shimmers over the blades of the daggers.
"Eh?"
The pressure it gives off is different from the Beaters earlier.
Could that be... a real Hunter?
Then the zombies blocked my front, forming a wall.
"Keureureuk!"
"Gyareuk. Kyaaaa!!"
The corpses rushed at the female Hunter.
But she swung her daggers without a hint of panic.
Seugak!
Daggers only the size of kitchen knives.
But the zombie's neck was cut off like tofu.
Moreover, she was so agile.
Afterimages even remained as she wove through the zombies, slashing them to pieces.
Seugagagak!
The zombie next to me clicked his tongue shortly.
"Tsk. As expected, low-level zombies are no match for a C-class Hunter."
Huh?
I misheard, right?
That's only C-class?
"......."
If a C-class is like that, what kind of monster is the SS-class the Gallery Admin mentioned?
The female Hunter, having broken through the zombies, closed the distance to me in a straight line.
"Wait just a little! Big sister will save you soon!!"
No, no!
That's not saving me, that's arresting me!
I'm a Witch, for heaven's sake.
If I get dragged away.......
I'll definitely be burned at the stake and die a horrible death!
I put the wooden horse stick between my thighs and sat down with a thud.
Hiiiiiiing!
For a toy, it let out a loud whinny like a real horse.
At the same time, the wooden horse floated up into the air.
"Oh?"
What, this thing could really fly?
"Almost there......."
The female Hunter, who was trying to catch me, froze with her hand outstretched.
"No, why... how could such a......."
She mutters blankly while looking up at me.
"That...... that kid is a Witch?"
It's not that shocking.
I'm the one most shocked here.......
I bowed my head at the surge of sorrow.
"S-sorry for causing trouble......."
I hugged the wooden horse's neck tightly and waved my hand.
"Well then, bye-bye."
"Wait!"
Hiiiiiiing!
"Wait!!"
The wooden horse soared with fierce momentum.
"Uooooooooot—!"
No, this magic!
There's no such thing as a middle ground!!
