Chapter 5 : Anonymous Bulletin Board
-LooksLikeIGotFired : Now I really have to go to work, fucking hell... Am I fired?
-EasyLife : lol you morons, just live here. It’s great.
-Anonymous55 : fr lol
The anonymous bulletin board was filled with confusion, screams, despair, and chaos.
I was the sa.
“What in the world……”
Ironically, the first emotion I felt at the sa ti was a sense of relief that I wasn't the only one who had fallen into this damned world.
I wasn't the only one who fell into the World of Justice.
Here, it wasn't just ; a considerable number of users were already living in this world.
-Anonymous651 : Anyone know the location of Hamullam's Nest?
-PleaseGiveMoney : Is there anyone who can lend just 1 gold? I've been seriously starving for 2 weeks...
-Newdeulbak77 : Is the newbie who posted earlier here? I’ll help you ㅇㅇ leave a secret comnt.
-Anteater : Kids living in the southwest of the Empire, be careful. Sothing’s not right this ti.
The format of the anonymous bulletin board was the sa as the one that had existed within the World of Justice ga.
The content being posted was also not much different from what used to be on the World of Justice bulletin board, just with a slightly higher concentration of certain topics.
Things like question posts and aningless spam posts that I always saw when I played World of Justice.
“Ah.”
My daze lasted only for a mont.
I knew what I needed to get from this anonymous bulletin board right away.
Information.
What I needed now was information about this damned world.
‘Maybe there's a clue about this situation.’
Why I ca to this world, and how I can go back.
Having made up my mind, I quickly flipped through the pages.
Most of it was spam or nonsense with no substance, but there was also information that wasn't.
Among them, the place where quality information was gathered was, as expected, the recomnded posts section.
[Recomnded Posts]
Recomnded Posts was a section where posts could only be registered if they received a certain number of recomndations and views on the board.
A kind of 'best of' section, so to speak.
Naturally, a post that made it here was highly likely to contain significant information.
‘In that case…….’
As soon as I entered the recomnded posts, there was one post that imdiately caught my eye.
It was at the top with the most recomndations, and its title was eye-catching from the start.
-Newdeulbak77 : [Tip] Required Reading for Newbies.txt [★]
The star mark next to the title told just how many recomndations and views this post had received to secure its spot at the very top of the recomnded posts.
As if possessed by sothing, I clicked on that post.

Nice to et you. It's your friend Newdeulbak77.
You must be super bewildered having co to a strange world for the first ti, and it's a hassle to reply to every single question post, so I'll just ramble on about what I know and a few facts known around here ㅇㅇ
1. As you all know, this is the sa world as World of Justice Online. The system window, excluding logout, actually works, so it’s safe to say we're pretty much inside the ga.
2.The body you're possessing now is probably the last character you played. I've seen so guys complaining that it's unfair because they logged in with their alt character last and ended up as their alt. If anyone's different, please let know.
3. I don't know why, but the ti of arrival in this world is different for everyone. But it seems the ti of departure was similar? I don't know the reason.
4. Unless you're extrely confident, don't carelessly reveal your identity on the bulletin board. You could get killed without anyone knowing.
5. Nobody knows what happens when you die, but at least, none of the dead guys have co back. There are a lot of people here who believe that dying is just logging out, so if you think that, go ahead and kill yourself ㅇㅇ I won't stop you.
6. Of course, there's no resurrection either. I'm writing this, but I know newbies will keep asking lazy questions. If you've read this, refrain from it.
7. Sotis there are users with fixed nicknas who reveal their identity and hang out here, but try not to ss with them. They are genuinely scary people ㅇㅇ
8. Try not to make contracts with demons. As you know, it only takes a few misuses of magic to beco a wreck. Keep that in mind. This is no longer a ga.
9. Now, many nad monsters and bosses have the Demonic attribute. Be careful, you might die if you just charge in thinking it's like the old days.
10. Nobody knows where the Destruction Dragon went, so stop asking.
That's all. If you don't know sothing, leave a comnt ㄱㄱ I'll answer what I know.

“…….”
After reading the 'Required Reading for Newbies,' I was at a loss for words for a mont.
It was only now that I was truly feeling, firsthand, what kind of world I had co to.
‘Newdeulbak77.’
I didn't know who this person was, but I was grateful for the part where they wrote a post like this.
If it weren't for Newdeulbak77, it might have taken much longer to find this information, and I might have died if I had been too late.
‘And the Destruction Dragon…….’
There was a high possibility that the Destruction Dragon and the Ascension Stone Fragnt were related to why I ca to this world.
To find out about this unknown phenonon, it seed best to look into the Destruction Dragon and the Ascension Stone Fragnt.
‘Let's look for a few more for now.’
Seeing as this friend nad Newdeulbak77 writes information posts so kindly, it seed efficient to focus on this friend's posts.
[Search by Author : Newdeulbak77]
I imdiately searched for posts written by Newdeulbak77.
-Newdeulbak77 : Has anyone seen where Newbie44 went?
-Newdeulbak77 : Ah... I haven't seen the last newbie, don't tell he died.
-Newdeulbak77 : [Tip] How to survive at a low level.
Most of them were useless posts, but one post caught my eye.
-Newdeulbak77 : (Long post warning) Regarding the ■■■ Fragnt...
The mont I, as if possessed by sothing, was about to click on that post.
“We'll be leaving soon, so get ready.”
A voice that brought back to reality made look ahead.
It was the escort captain.
“……Ah, yes.”
I must have been so engrossed in the bulletin board that the escort unit had already finished cleaning up and was preparing to leave imdiately.
“How will you be traveling? Will you ride in the carriage you were in before?”
The carriage I was in before would, of course, an the prisoner transport carriage.
“Can I just walk?”
“Do as you please. We have many injuries and it would be reassuring to have a mage of your caliber step up.”
I had said it because it felt unsettling to return to the prisoner transport carriage, but fortunately, the escort unit captain granted that much convenience.
There were probably various reasons mixed in, such as the shortage of troops and an uncontrollable, dangerous mage, but I put such detailed thoughts aside for a mont.
Right now, I have sothing far more important.
‘■■■ Fragnt?’
I didn't know what it was, but for so reason, I felt like I knew the word that would go into that censored part.
‘Is it related to the Ascension Stone Fragnt?’
As far as I knew, the Ascension Stone had led to this world, and a fragnt of that Ascension Stone had activated the bulletin board function for .
If so, wouldn't it be reasonable to assu that the identity of the ■■■ Fragnt that Newdeulbak77 was talking about was also the Ascension Stone Fragnt?
‘But why call it that instead of Ascension Stone Fragnt?’
This was as far as I could guess.
It seed I would have to check the rest of the posts written by Newdeulbak77 to find out about the rest.
“We're moving out!”
With the escort captain's shout, the prisoner escort unit, now reduced to less than half its size, announced its departure once again.
“What on earth is the captain thinking? Leaving such a dangerous mage unchained without a Magic Sealing Stone……”
“Shh! Quiet, the mage might hear you.”
The soldiers of the escort unit stealthily avoided and whispered from behind.
It seed I was unintentionally drawing attention.
Of course, I didn't have the luxury to care about that.
“……Tsk.”
Ascension Stone Fragnt, anonymous bulletin board, newbie hunter.
All the words I saw on the bulletin board swirled in my head.
I was glad to find out that I wasn't the only user in this world, but at the sa ti, the strange atmosphere I saw on the anonymous bulletin board made feel somber.
Despite being strangers who had fallen into an unfamiliar world, the users on the anonymous bulletin board were implicitly wary of each other.
The biggest proof of that was the anonymity they themselves put forward.
‘Newdeulbak77 definitely said not to carelessly reveal your identity.’
And behind that, there was probably the ghost story called the newbie hunter.
Newbie hunter.
Doesn't it sound like there's soone out there hunting other users who have arrived in this world?
‘But why?’
While I was lost in such thoughts, the journey continued.
Just as it's dangerous to look at a smartphone while walking, looking at the bulletin board while playing in the World of Justice was one of the most dangerous actions, so I couldn't look even if I wanted to.
I tried to check the board whenever I had a spare mont, but the terrain on the way to Winter Castle was so rough that it wasn't easy to find such an opportunity.
“Everyone, hang in there! Once we cross this hill, it's Winter Castle!”
“Yes!”
The journey continued.
In an extre environnt where we couldn't even sleep properly, we crossed a snow-covered mountain and a frozen river.
And…….
“That's Winter Castle over there!”
Winter Castle Kreutz.
Finally, we had arrived at the northern front.
