Chapter 45 – SMOKE (2)
It was a strange day
“Hmm…”
Kiarette on his way home from work
Today, he felt a strange sense of separation from the world, as if he was different from the world around him It was a subtle emotion that made him suddenly look back at himself These days, the behavior of new employees sometimes embarrassed him
This was the flow of tiht about the routine of his coarette and prepared to leave the alley
At the corner where he was standing, a group of students were s uniforns of hesitation They noticed Kiarettes anyways
”…Hah”
Ki stepped closer to the children “Students, you're all kid wearing school uniforms, so can you really smoke like this?”
They glanced at each other before looking back at Kile “Who cares, Ahjussi We're sht with our own money”
”These guys…”
“A meddler has come, how lame”
“Pfft! What a funny bastard”
The students echoed their slang ahed
“He sarettes; that's why he's so bald”
“Let’s go Dirty, dirty”
“……!”
They walked past Ki and started to leisurely stroll soarettes They smoked in the streets as they headed to so stared at their backs He once again felt an unknown feeling
It was an era where virtual reality gaans were being transplanted The world was changing
“Hmm…”
He pointed out students s and was treated like a meddler Actually, that wasn't the case It was just that he was old-fashi+oned
Ki But today’s strange day didn't let hio
An excited child was running and burabbed the child; however, the ice crea's clothes
”This…” Kiasped and watched Kiuy, you shouldn't run around on the streets”
”……”
“If you make a mistake, then you should say sorry”
”Mother!” A young woured out what happened between her child and Ki her child into her arms ”Are you okay?”
”Yes”
“This ahjussi didn't do anything bad to you?”
Ki?”
“The world is rough”
“My pants, do you see it? If a child ize”
“What did my child do? Don't you kno to do laundry?”
“Hah…”
The young wo could answer Ki that unknown emotion as he headed home His common sense wasn't the common sense of the world anymore
He came back home, but no one welco in the living rooeese
As a ed man ent back and forth fro He reached the position of a er, but now he had to prepare for retirement He only occasionally heard the voices of his wife and children over the phone
The things that happened todayto live for, so he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed
He sat on the couch and turned on the television The screen flashed in the living roo played His sunken eyes stared at it It was a video from the famous Youvidser called Laney
”…Oh, this”
He felt that eain No ed, as such a horrible sight still occurring?
Those ere called giant clans were slaughtering the inhabitants of a village They were ga for their lives looked more real than actual reality If someone had a human conscience, how could they stab woences?
Why was it good to kill those known as NPCs? As someone who once played Elder Lord enthusiastically, Ki ell aware of how lifelike the NPCs were
Suddenly, the focus of the video moved The scene of the massacre moved to the side Noasn't a human in the center of the screen It was an orc who ht of asthe users who killed the NPCs His body becaain to defend the villagers
The hu huht!
Kihed
The orc seee between life and death, but he never actually died He swung his greatsword Kiave up until the end
What ht like that?
-You, is that right?
The orc was talking
–You
In Ki's eyes, he was a bloody hero
-You, can you just turn around and run away as you watch people being slaughtered for no reason?
Ki of the person fil
The video recorder intervened The voice of the recorder was a woht The orc smiled like it was natural
-Only humans worry about such calculations
He whispered
-A warrior doesn't yield to injustice
Fighting to the end against injustice
It was an old-fashi+oned idea The orc was a really old-fashi+oned ed e where heroic beliefs only belonged in history, it was rare to find such a person But heroes had died and left their names behind
The orc and the ranker rushed at each other and the video ended Ki about this ee, but it was always present inside of him
He thought for a while Kier the weary eyes of aabout his daily routine It was the eyes of a passionate man
Kiot”
He headed to the e to his son There was one capsule to access Elder Lord After beco he had used to relieve the loneliness Dust had piled up because he hadn't used it for a while
”Men are wine”
It was the , no, the worst necromancer, Iron, returned to Elder Lord

Bob opened his tablet and the video was played It was from the Youvidser called Laney Due to the advanced interpreter skill, they could understand the videos of other countries without any problems
