The first thought that ca to mind when I played this ga for the first ti was this:
This ga is insane.
The graphics are so realistic that its hard to distinguish them from reality if you dont look closely.
The insane amount of freedom to do whatever you want.
Of course, because of that freedom, there were so f**ked up things, but that actually made people go even more insane.
Ive been enjoying City of Seoul, or CS for quite a long ti now, almost five years. I gave up on a ga I had been playing for almost 5 years because of this ga, that says it all.
[Welco to City of Seoul]
As usual, the ga started with flashy effects.
If there was one characteristic of this ga, it was this:
If your character dies, its deleted permanently.
So, you had to try countless tis, which ant that each round had to be very careful.
Of course, even so, it wasnt easy to survive.
Average survival ti: 30 days.
Nevertheless, seeing many people going insane and surviving for a long ti, this ga was really sothing.
Savior Crowd
[Survival Ti: 1,652 days, 7 hours]
A middle-aged character holding a revolver in the character window and biting on a cigar.
Among the countless characters created and deleted, this character had survived for the longest ti, and was my pride.
At first, it was really hard.
When I knew nothing, I died at the hands of the National Intelligence Service while playing the villain.
I tried to make a school drama by enrolling in the Hero Academy, but I beca a loner and dropped out. Then, as soon as I beca one of the strongest positions in the world, the hero association president, I was assassinated.
There were more than a few tis when I wanted to break the computer, but I held back when I thought of my bank balance.
However, maintaining the top position in this ga where nurous veterans were falling behind was enough to give a trendous sense of achievent, so I couldnt give up.
Well Ill see the end today.
And what Im aiming for now is one thing.
World Ranking No.1.
This ga was basically a single-player ga.
So there was a ranking system that used achievents and accomplishnts, and only one person was above .
[1st place: ImDOG]
He was the one who was barely ahead of by just one achievent.
In this ga, where even 3rd place has a re 74% achievent rate, his and my achievent rates are currently at 99.8%.
However, because that guy reached 99.8% first, he was still in 1st place.
And coincidentally, the one remaining achievent for both him and is this one.
[??]
It was a hidden achievent.
There isnt even a hint on how to achieve it.
If even [ImDOG], who is in 1st place, couldnt achieve it, it must be an achievent beyond imagination.
Today, I promised myself that I would achieve 0.2% no matter what.
As I logged into the ga, a different reality, almost like reality itself, unfolded on the monitor.
To achieve this 0.2% achievent, I have tried hundreds and thousands of things.
Becoming a hero receiving everyones praise.
Turning a whole city into a ghost town.
Conquering a police station while naked.
Assassinating the president with a cotton swab.The list goes on. It was madness.
But today, I challenged myself because I found a clue.
[ImDOG: I saw your YouTube and you were doing everything to beco 1st place, but youll never achieve the remaining achievents. Give up.]
A ssage I received from him yesterday.
He is the one currently in 1st place.
After reading the ssage, I asked him if he knew how to achieve it, and he replied with a playful answer.
[ImDOG: Can you live as yourself, using your own nickna? Haha, I dont think youll ever achieve it.]
What the hell is this nonsense?
Although I was taken aback by his ssage, I replied to him.
[DarkLord of Underworld: Whats wrong with my nickna? Would you like to taste the power of the DarkLord? Haha!]
It was a ssage sent with the thought of Screw you.
But the guy who received my ssage left a aningful reply.
[ImDOG: Really? Then try it out once. Haha, youll find out tomorrow when you log in.]
With this, the ssage ends.
In the end, I logged into the ga as the guy had told to do.
As soon as I entered the ga, there was a loud explosion followed by a ssage popping up on the screen.
[Hidden achievent unlocked!]
[The details of the achievent will be revealed through challenges.]
[You can only attempt the challenge once, and if you fail, you can never achieve this again.]
[This achievent can only be held by one person.]
[Would you like to take on the challenge? Y/N]
What, an achievent that only one person can do?
Thats probably why there was no information beforehand, and the ssage only had one aning.
The guy who was ranked first had attempted and failed this achievent.
Ultimately, it ant that if I could achieve this, I could take back the first place.
Even if a man cant eat, he can survive!
I confidently pressed the Y button.
And at that mont, I lost consciousness.
***
An empty room with nobody inside.
An alarm sound indicating a received ssage ca from the monitor with the lights on.
[ImDOG: ZZZ Youre really doing that.]
[ImDOG: Then lets do it.]
[ImDOG: Enjoy it.]
And at the sa ti, all the ssages start disappearing.
[Nonexistent user.]
[Nonexistent user.]
[Nonexistent user.]

Uh?
The first thought that ca to mind was, Why does the ceiling look unfamiliar?
It was a thought that could have co straight out of a novel, so I chuckled and sat up.
Did I fall asleep while playing a ga?
Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I stretched and looked around, only to realize that sothing was off.
Where am I?
One thing was for sure: This was not my room.
First, there was the bed that was dinsionally different and much softer, and the fancy wallpaper. And then, there was the size of the room, which was three tis larger than my old apartnt.
There was a knock on the door.
Are you awake, Young Master?
A voice could be heard from outside.
Since I hadnt yet figured out the whole situation, I didnt answer.
Im sure I heard a voice
The voice ca from outside the door once again.
Gradually, the sound of footsteps beca more distant.
What on earth is going on?
First and foremost, my eyes were drawn to the computer on one side of the room, so I ran over to it and turned it on.
There were three folders and a trash can on the vintage desktop.
[City of Seoul]
[Jikbakguri]
(Notes: Refer to Porn video folder on the Internet.)
[Ga Collection]
Although the folder nad Jikbakguri bothered , I noticed a more familiar phrase.
[City of Seoul]
I was convinced that it had sothing to do with the current situation and imdiately clicked on the folder.
Inside the folder, there was a ga button that I recognized and a Notepad file titled Must Read.
I clicked on the file as if possessed.
[To those who have played [City of Seoul] in advance, as close beta players, thank you!

We hope you enjoy playing!
Interface is provided as a special benefit!
You can check the gas interface through an electronic device.]
These crazy bastards!
While I was cursing like that, CS automatically started running on the computer.
[City of Seoul]
[Loading.]
[Synchronization complete. Welco to the world, Player DarkLord of Underworld.]
And at the sa ti, a character window popped up.
There was a character I had never seen before.
[Na: Eugene Han Corleone]
[Gender: Male]
[Description: A half-blood born between Vito Corleone, an Italian father, and Han Wol-young, a Korean mother. He is the successor to the mafia organization Corleone.]
What the?
Eugene, Eugene Han Corleone?
Suddenly, my face appeared on the black screen.
In disbelief, I quickly checked my face again in the mirror in my room and realized what was happening.
Haha This is ? Its him?
The face on the computer and the one in the mirror were the sa.
Of course, I had never created a character like this before.
Well, its not surprising.
This is really ssed up.
I had sohow entered into the body of Eugene Han Corleone, the character in the ga.
***
Understanding the situation wasnt difficult because various tutorials and UI appeared when starting the ga as a character.
Through them, I learned how to assess my own status and how to identify with myself.
And they also taught how to connect these UIs to portable devices.
[Na: Eugene Han Corleone]
[Gender: Male]
[Occupation: Heir to the Underworld]
[Specialty:]
I couldnt even imagine that the nickna DarkLord of Underworldwould be interpreted as Heir to the Underworld.
Fortunately, this character, Eugene Han Corleone was one that I knew.
Well, I couldnt not know him.
He was always a third-rate villain NPC who picked on the player and trusted only his father and organization when starting the ga as a player character.
An NPC who always made the player angry by harassing them and eventually got killed by in a fit of rage, and then I died at the hands of the incoming Mafia in the third playthrough.
I shouted back then why are there such crazy NPCs, but it was different in this case.
This seems better than I thought?
A character that appears when you beco a veteran player and gives players true despair about what real despair is.
Eugene Han Corleones father, Don Vito Corleone, was also a notorious scamr character in the ga.
I had to morize his pattern dozens of tis to finally beat him, considering how much of a monster he was when playing with a mafia concept.
And now, that NPC is my father, and I am the successor who receives the protection of that father and organization.
In this ga, where power and authority are determined by the strength of ones own force and the support of ones own faction due to its unique world view, this was a huge rit.
If we only looked at this, it could be said that he was a first-tier character, but
Theres one problem. This character is only good on the surface, but in reality, hes a complete garbage character.
If you take the Academy route, you can often encounter this Eugene, and he was a truly useless character.
The heros characteristics are a type that appears in various risks, and self-improvent, but because he always had a comfortable life, he had no particular characteristics.
Therefore, usually when playing gas, he beca a villain to gain power most of the ti. Then he would die to his father or other heroes, or to as the player.
The future looks dark, really.
As I sighed on the bed, saying that, I heard a knock on the door.
Young master, there is one hour left until the entrance exam for the academy.
It was the voice of the man who had knocked on the door a while ago.
As I was now no different from Eugene Corleone, I decided to act naturally.
Lets go.
Yes, young master.
I rember that Eugene was a character with no backbone.
So, if I act like a person without any backbone, no one would suspect anything.
By the way, I never imagined that the entrance exam for the academy would be on the first day of the ga.
Of course, in the gas story, it was customary to enter the academy.
But the problem is that I havent tried the academy route several tis.
Around 23 tis?
First, I took a light shower in the bathroom attached to the room.
Wow, do the rich have a shower in every room and use this shampoo and body wash every ti?
It slls so good.
I quickly dried my hair and went out of my room, and a delicious sll stimulated my nose. It was coming from downstairs.
I went down the stairs and followed the sll, and a large restaurant greeted .
And.
Youre late.
The man sitting at the head of the table opened his mouth, and at the sa ti, the refreshing morning atmosphere suddenly beca heavy.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
The sound of the old clock in the dinner sounded unusually loud.
I felt as if I was being crushed all over my body, and my shoulders sagged involuntarily.
It feels like I have to kneel down right now.
A fear that I had never felt in my life took over my whole body.
I raised my head and looked at the person who was waiting alone.
A black fedora hat and a cigar in his mouth, and a scruffy beard.
That man is Don Vito Corleone, the man everyone fears, the ruler of the underworld.
Now, he is the man who is my father.
Im sorry, father.
As I said that and sat down, my father looked at with a surprised expression. His eyes widened.
Its surprising that you even use polite language. Have you grown up on the day of the academy entrance exam?
Is this guy really going to be so disrespectful to his own father, who is the boss of the underworld?
I couldnt imagine the monster making such an expression with just one apology.
Im almost an adult now, shouldnt I change a little?
Hahaha! Its good that youre thinking that now. But maybe because Im being called Father for the first ti. I feel a bit sad because I feel so indifferent..
I answered with a cool smile, seeing his bitter smile.
. Youll get used to it soon, wont you?
Hoho, yes. Thats how it will be in the end. Since everyone else has finished eating, you should eat and leave too.
Father said that and got up, shaking off the remaining ash from his cigarette.
I was left alone in the restaurant and sighed, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings that I still hadnt adapted to.
Can I really adapt to the life of a mafia family?
