The D-Rank Guild Mas Chapter 1

1st Guild's D-Class Guild Leader Episode 1

[The long-awaited first round begins, survive unscathed, good luck.]

As soon as I ca to my senses, a strange broadcast sound hit my ears.

I staggered to my feet and looked around, and I was in the jungle. Even the rustling of leaves is very realistic.

Where the hell is this?

I looked down at my body in a daze.

Beneath his short basic clothes, he could see his slender limbs.

I slumped down in front of a nearby pond to get a closer look at myself.

An oriental beauty face.

Who is this?

As I slowly retraced my mories, a mory flashed through my mind.

Oh boy...... It reminded .

Na: Rudel

Will any of the above characters survive this round?

[Yes] 3% [No] 97%

It was a face that had just been posted on the hopage of a newly released ga.

One of the characters in the soon-to-be-opened simulation ga where users bet their ga money.

And he was the one who voted that 97% of people would die early on because all of his stats were at the bottom of the ranks.

In a word, if you look at it as a character, a novel, you can say that it is an extra among extras.

I didn't know why he suddenly beca a character in the ga, but I first looked at the status window in front of

to understand the situation.

[Na] Rudel / [Level] 1

[Gender] Female / [Age] 21

[Intelligence]

* * *

[Health] 85 / D

[Strength] 80 / D

[Dexterity] 106/D

Haha, they're all D-class, I don't have an answer.

If it had been a well in front of , I would have thrown myself into it, but unfortunately it was a shallow pond.

I dropped my head down helplessly. I didn't understand why I was in the ga when I was supposed to be in the real world.

It's also in a killing ga where the slightest mistake can kill you.

'Do you want a joy that you can't experience anywhere else? It's all in this ga.'

This ga, which was introduced with an unusual comnt, is the most popular ga in Korea, with 2 million pre-orders alone before its release.

In fact, it was more of a viewing program, not a ga.

Instead of playing the actual ga, users had to watch the survival simulation of the characters that ca to life in the ga.

They could predict the winner of the round or bet in-ga money on their favorite characters, which they could make or spend.

In other words, it's like a modern version of the Colosseum that you can watch in virtual reality.

The ga has been a hot topic since the closed beta was launched, and as soon as it was released, it received trendous praise and rave reviews from beta testers.

'All the characters seem to be alive and breathing.'

'Realistic and sensual character modeling draws gars in.'

'We cry and laugh at their battles and deaths.'

So voices criticized the dangers of watching VR and the brutality of the battles, but these were safely overco through the ga company's asures to control the water level.

It was not long before the ga's release.

When I ca to my senses, I beca the character of the ga, struggling to survive in the eyes of the viewers.

'How did I get here?'

I tried to think back to the events just before I ca here, but it was as if most of my mory had been erased except for the ga.

As if soone had deliberately tampered with my mory.......

My head hurt, but that wasn't the point.

Right now, the other characters would be ready to step up.

In order not to be killed, he had to put his troubles aside for later.

I look up and look back at the status window.

'The 97% of viewers who bet I was going to die? Tell them to you all, you just have to survive.'

I was convinced.

Originally, Rudel would have been a fragile character who wasn't much different from what viewers expected, but since I ca in, she would survive until the end.

For viewers' betting content, so information about survival gas released in advance on the hopage by the ga company.

I couldn't peruse it and morized it.

With this alone, I'm already far ahead.

And another video posted by one of the beta testers with the cooperation of the ga company.

It was only uploaded on day 1, but thanks to that, I was able to get to the heart of this simulation ga.

"Oh, this is a cruel ga, isn't it? And look at the experience being counted. Character popularity vote is gacker! Even if the characters run back, if they don't get votes from off-screen viewers they don't even know, they won't be able to level up!"

The more popular a character is with viewers, the more advantageous it is in the ga.

The other characters didn't know that this was in the ga, so this was information that only I could use.

Emotions swirled through my head, but I took a slow, deep breath to calm the tremors.

Okay, let's survive sohow.

In doing so, I'm going to find out who I am and why I got into this ga.

* * *

With the horn sounding to signal the start of the first round, I quickly glanced through the ga manuals I had been given.

There was nothing special about it.

The fact that you have to survive in the jungle for the entire first round, and a snippet description of how the ga plays out as a whole, was all that was said.

Today is Day 1...... The ga has just been released.

'How many viewers are looking down on

right now? There were 2 million pre-bookings, so maybe that's that much?'

Not. I don't think there are many people who would just be staring at the screen of an insubstantial girl sitting in the distance.

This character I got into was pretty pretty, but that's the way everyone is as long as they're ga characters.

I didn't think my unremarkable appearance would be my weapon.

So I'm going to have to try harder.

So, when a character first wakes up in the first round, what is the first thing to do?

Find basic supply crates all over the field.

"Co to think of it, when I looked down at the pond earlier, I saw sothing inside."

When I checked again, I saw a brown box shimring in the middle of the clear water.

I rolled up my sleeves and put my arms in it, but I couldn't reach it because it was deeper than I thought.

Isn't there a long shovel or sothing?

But all around him were jungle trees, and he didn't see any tools to help.

After all, it's just my body.

"If you give up on this and go out of the forest to find another box, you'll be targeted in no ti, right?"

In the end, I decided that I had no choice, so I plunged into the waist-high pond with my face crumpled.

The box was embedded in the dirt and could not be pushed out with bare feet. This D-class frail body.

It can't be helped. All I have to do is hold my breath and tuck my head in, pulling the box out with both hands.

About two minutes later, I managed to rescue the box, but I had to get out of the water, soaking wet.

When I quickly opened the box, I found that the contents were close to a basic starter pack.

All they had was a tough leather robe, a pocket knife, a bag around their waist, a piece of dry bread, and water.

"Now that all the clothes I've been wearing are wet, I'm going to change into new ones."

I rembered the basic features I had read about in the ga rules earlier, which were given to each character.

"Pause mode."

As soon as the command fell from my mouth, a four-square-foot blockage appeared around my body.

This is where the character can change clothes, wash, or run errands.

No matter what you do, it cannot be invaded from the outside, and it is not visible to the viewers.

In other words, in this ga where realism is the life, it is a place prepared to control the water level.

Instead, there are restrictions so that the ga is not affected. During combat, you cannot use pause mode, and you cannot store objects in the space.

The ti limit is 15 minutes, and the cooldown is 2 hours.

I washed myself and wiped dry with a towel in a cramped bathroom-like space. Then he changed into clothes made of leather.

Wouldn't this give you about 1% more chance of survival? That's about 3 percent to 4 percent.

After the 15-minute ti limit, the pause mode broke itself. I was again in the middle of the jungle.

He looked down at the pocket knife in his hand.

You have to kill soone with this knife to earn points and get rewards.

"If you think of your opponent as a ga character, you can't kill them.......

If I, who was weak, recklessly showed my intention to kill the other characters, I risked being reversed.

Then, what you should be aiming for is the viewers' popularity vote.

I'll try. So that I, who don't have a horn, can win the hearts of the viewers.

I was in their shoes not so long ago, so I think I can do it, at least that much.

You have to be liked by the viewers to survive.

No matter how well you cut people's throats, the characters who fail to win the favor of the viewers will be rewarded very poorly.

I stared at the blade for a mont, then kicked it back into my waistband.

* * *

As soon as I first ca out of the forest, I was imdiately confronted with a murder scene.

A character was dead with his tongue sticking out, and the character who killed him was searching for sothing to use in the dead man's arms.

A handso boy with dark skin. She has unique eye features and curly hair.

Unlike , he looked like he had a strong arm and a high strength stat.

Probably enough to strangle an adult man in one fell swoop.

As I studied the boy from a distance, a translucent window appeared in front of .

Oh boy.

Sorry for the other participants, it seems that my privilege is not just to be inford.

To , I see the stat window for other characters.
