Became an Extra in a Youth JRPG Game

chapter 1



1 – Time Limit

Shouta Arigiri.

I was possessed as Shota Arigiri.

“No… I expected the extra possession.”

To be honest, Extra Possession was Jung Bae Pick of Jung Bae Pick. I didn’t even expect to be possessed as a lead actor.

“If only…”

Possessed as an extra that was consumed first in the game.

This world I possessed, ‘Psycho Logic 3’, begins when the main character starts going to school in March.

The background city, ‘Emosh*ta City’, was a place where strange phenomena occurred.

Every night at 12 o’clock, the hidden world and reality fuse and monsters pop out. Monsters roam around at night and attack humans, and those attacked are found dead with heart failure.

The police have already defined this case as a serial murder case and are pursuing it, and…

‘I’m consumed with the role of revealing that there is something in this city.’

In the 3rd week, an unlikable character who strangely quarrels with the main character is found dead in a hill. That was Arigiri Shota.

The main character, who had doubts about it, pursued the incident and awakened his ability at night as the prologue.

Well… It’s a bit standard and clichéd. But isn’t that a good thing There is a reason why Jeongseok is Jeongseok.

No. That’s not the point.

‘Three weeks… You die in three weeks?’

I don’t have much time.

Shota Arigiri was an insidious stalker character, and the setting was to secretly stalk a heroine named ‘Umi Kiryu’ at night and get killed. Since the last person he met was Umi Kiryu, the main character interrogates Umi Kiryu, and as a result, a bond develops. Anyway, that’s done.

Then, wouldn’t it be fine if you didn’t stalk Umi Kiryu and calmly organized it? I could have turned the happy circuit like that, but I was pessimistic about that. As a webso writer, I knew that well.

‘In the game, Arigiri Shota is always killed.’

As a sacrifice for the prologue.

The essential event in the game might be something like ‘destiny’ in this world. Whether I stalk or not, death is certain. Ice water is usually the same.

It was a risk that I could get hurt while staying at home.

“Damn it…!”

He tried to calmly think about it, but his head went white because of the time limit of three weeks.

“Whoa…”

First, I washed my face with cold water. The cold water made my head feel a little clearer.

“Let’s do what we can.”

I was talking to myself.

It’s still February. Arigiri Shota, or I, was a prospective freshman who would be entering Emosh*ta High School in March. Being a freshman, I couldn’t get help anywhere. It is also impossible to approach the lead character in advance. No. Approaching it doesn’t help. After all, they don’t know what’s going to happen in this city.

But it’s not all that bad.

‘It’s still spring break.’

Yes. That was important In one word, it was time.

‘Besides…’

Apparently, in his previous life, his physical specs seemed to be inherited to some extent. Unlike the original Arigiri Shota, which was a skinny anchovy, I had small muscles in my body. It was a muscle that was trained when I trained hard in kendo before.

All I had to do was to train my body to the point where I wouldn’t be helplessly eaten by the monster, and get equipment and recovery medicine in advance. It was the basis of an RPG.

‘I’m a current webso writer.’

Yes. He was an expert in this development.

So I immediately tried one thing.

“Status window.”

The point is to speak calmly while waving your hands.

T-ring-!

As expected. Something like a game status window appeared. It was identical to the interface of the original Psychological.

‘Here it is. Stats.’

I immediately checked the stats.

‘Level: 1’

‘Strength: 13’

‘Speed: 13’

‘Duration: 10’

‘Luck: 1’

‘HP: 0’

“…..f*ck.”

I made a prediction, but I was cursed. The fact that luck was 1 was not zero. However, at some point, the status window was an indicator that it was accurate. Of course, I’m out of luck because I’ve been possessed by this god-like character. Anyway, the fatal blow was not expected at all.

“But… mana is 0…”

In Psychological, ‘Awakened’ can use magic in the underworld. The stat that determines the power and effect of that magic was magic. His magical power was 0. It meant that he couldn’t use magic at all.

Well, it’s natural that they’re extras. Originally, it was just a role to be killed while riding the ice.

Nonetheless, it’s something to look at positively. Strength and speed were points higher than 10. I raised it by about 3 because I trained hard in the original world. I decided to think good. Considering that his stats go up by about 2 or 3 each time he level up, he said he has about level 2 strength.

The main character’s initial stats were 10 this year.

‘I can do it.’

Finding hope in small things was the shortcut to happiness in life.

I had to level up first. The average level of the monsters in the underworld that appears in the first week of March is between 1 and 5. In order not to be killed, level 5 had to be taken. I didn’t know how well the level went up, but I had to squeeze the time to level up within three weeks. There is only one goal. It had to be enough to not get killed by the monster.

“First of all…”

Once I got out of the shower, I looked deep into the room. I knew the location well. Memories of Arigiri Shota certainly existed in me.

“200,000 Yen…”

It was Won Gi-ok, the money she had saved since she was young. He really has no money. Well… I want to ask what you want from the preliminary high school 1. I had to do something with this.

Knock-!

After that, after opening the closet, I immediately put on clothes that were as normal as possible. A hoodie and jeans, a friend forever to those who don’t know how to dress up.

“I’m leaving. Mom.”

I headed straight for the front door.

“Sho, Shota…Going out?”

My mother muttered with a rather complex expression on her face. Her expression was both sad and emotionless.

‘Well… I refused to go to school in my 2nd year of middle school, and I went to the infirmary in my 3rd year of middle school.’

It was amazing to go outside voluntarily.

“Yes. I’ll probably be back late.”

I said so.

“Uh, where are you going?”

My mother asked about that.

“It’s a kendo hall.”

I said so. I mentioned the only place where you can raise experience points in the beginning.

“That’s right….Come on.”

My mother said with tears in her eyes. That’s true A woman with a lot of tears. I smiled and left the front door behind me.

———-

I arrived at the Kiryu Dojo, a historic dojo that has been passed down for several generations in Emosh*ta City.

It was a valuable place to earn experience points by spending time in the game during the day.

‘Besides… Umi Kiryu, one of the main heroines, is the only daughter here.’

Players had to work diligently to capture Umi Kiryu.

‘I’m not interested in capturing heroines.’

Survival is urgent, so what kind of strategy is strategy?

In addition to being able to safely raise experience points within daily life, there were many advantages to getting close to her head, Kiryu Gonzaemon. He not only taught me physics-related skills, but also gave me decent equipment from time to time.

‘First of all, I’m going to level up here.’

Practice kendo during the day, and when you have accumulated a certain level, go out secretly at night to defeat monsters that seem weak in the underworld. That was my plan

Knock-!

I opened the door to the dojo and entered.

Since it was daytime, there were few people.

And in the center of the dojang, there was a muscular man with a long beard. This person was the head of the family, Kiryu Gonzaemon.

“Oh. Do you want to join our dojo?”

Gonzaemon said with a smile.

“Yes.”

“Okay. You’re a student? The time after school is…”

Gonzaemon tried to introduce the schedule. Well, you can’t be in the dojo all day. Usually, any painting was cut by time.

“I will pay more. Let me practice from morning to evening, even until school starts.”

I immediately bowed my head. If I don’t upgrade here, I’ll really die!!

“…..It must be difficult.”

Gonzaemon stared at me.

“There’s a reason for that.”

I said it seriously. If anything is said briefly in a serious tone, it works surprisingly well. That was a tip for life.

“……Reason? What is it?”

Gonzaemon looked at me.

“I want to become stronger.”

This was my sincerity. If I don’t become strong, I’ll die even though I’ve been possessed.

“…….”

Gonzaemon stared at me.

“You bastard… You’re serious. Your eyes are determined. I like it.”

Gonzaemon grinned and raised his finger.

“Okay. Let’s make a special case for you. One month. If you take off the basic skills and wear the hukou within one month, the tuition for one month is free. You have to pay after that.”

Gonzaemon made a rather unconventional proposal.

Hogu. It was a protective gear used in kendo. Once the basic skills were removed and the skills were acquired to a certain extent, from then on, wearing a hukou and immersing yourself in the world of full-fledged kendo.

Normally, it was a national rule to wear a dog or a hukou whenever the time was up, but Gonzaemon was a strict swordsman. He really had to admit it to some extent, so he put on a coat of arms.

If you hustle for a month, the monthly tuition fee was free. There was no reason not to.

“I will.”

I said, staring at Gonzaemon.

“Okay. Then I’ll give you the uniform right away. It’s training.”

Gonzaemon said with a smile.

Like that, before entering high school, I had a relationship with the Kiryu dojo.
