NOVEL NEXT chapter 14
14 – Trait metafiction is active!
“Wow, it’s already dark.”
“I know. Is it because there is no light?”
Normally, I didn’t know at all because of the store sign and lighting.
In a world without light, night seems to come so quickly.
“I happened to see a convenience store over there, so I took a break.”
“Is that okay? You say you need to move quickly?”
“It is dangerous to travel at night. There are a lot more zombies roaming around. You could be surrounded in the middle of the road.”
Well, it must be difficult to fight in the dark.
There is also the risk of surprise.
I’d rather take a break here.
“oh! Hey, is there something over there?”
Hyena, who cautiously turned her car to the convenience store, shouted.
Looking closely, it was a wild dog.
“Kurrr!”
Of course, it’s not an ordinary wild dog.
It was a monster that had already been infected and turned into a zombie dog.
“A wild dog… Annoying ones are out.”
“Are they dangerous?”
“It’s more nimble and quicker than just human zombies. Don’t worry. There are only two of them, so I…”
-Kikiiik! Tuong! Puffy!
Before Yuri’s words were finished.
Hye-na stepped on the accelerator and pushed the stray dog away.
No matter who came first, he looked at Hye-na.
Hyena blushed as if she was taken aback by the reaction.
“Uh, that, that… I thought this would be the fastest and surest……”
Lee Yoo-ri had a face that even suffered a bit of culture shock.
Rather than the action itself, the fact that that person was Hyena seemed to shock me.
“Joe, did you?”
“No, what. That’s for sure.”
If you can kill without fighting, that’s best.
Of course, it’s a bit surprising to see him crush casually with that innocent face.
‘I heard people change when they get behind the wheel. Is Hyena like that too?’
Anyway, we safely parked the car in front of the convenience store.
There was no body inside, as if Alba had escaped safely.
‘It’s fortunate that things are fine.’
It’s not that big, though.
It was a convenience store, so it had food and other items.
It was a time when I was taking care of canned food and dry food in moderation.
Hye-na and Yuri were half-sweeping something.
“What are you working so hard on?”
“uh? Oh no! Nothing!”
“It’s a sanitary pad.”
“Yuriyah…”
With Hyena dyeing her face red
A glass that even shows off casually.
If this happens, it’s difficult for me to decide how to react.
‘Well, women should care about that.’
It’s a daily necessity, but it’s also a consumable.
It’s better to take care of it while you can.
I took a cigarette just in case.
It’s not that I want to smoke.
This is because it reminded me of a scene where cigarettes were used as currency in Apomul.
Having packed the necessities like that, we headed for the refrigerated food.
The electricity went out and the power was off.
“If I leave it like this, it will be damaged anyway. Shall we eat them all?”
“agree! It is difficult to keep.”
There was hot water, so I decided to make gimbap with cup noodles for dinner tonight.
I took out stir-fried kimchi and pickled radish.
It wasn’t long before the convenience store was filled with delicious smells.
As soon as I smelled it, my stomach started demanding instant noodles.
slurp!
After waiting for 3 minutes, I sucked in the cooled noodles in one go.
When you take a sip of the soup, warmth permeates your body.
“Keuuu, kill!”
Yukgaejang small cup noodles, kimchi, and even tuna cheese gimbap.
I can’t stand this combination even when the Buddha comes.
“Whoa, it’s really delicious…”
“I know. A meal like this isn’t bad either.”
The expressions of Hye-na and Yuri also softened.
As much as they suffered, both would have lost their hunger.
“……But aren’t you eating too much?”
“You should eat while you can.”
“Still, isn’t 10 triangular gimbap a bit like that?”
It seems that the reincarnated person really liked the triangular gimbap at the convenience store.
In the meantime, we ate snacks and drinks.
Normally, I wouldn’t be able to afford it because it was expensive.
It doesn’t matter because there’s no owner now.
“Oh, it’s raining.”
As we paused, raindrops fell from the sky.
Why is the sky so dark?
Looks like dark clouds were gathering.
“It just went well.”
Lee Yuri, who had filled her stomach, stood up.
Then, suddenly, he untied his tie and began to take off his shirt.
“Yu, Yuri!”
Hyena jumped up in surprise and covered my vision.
“Why?”
“That, that… You can’t just take off your clothes in front of a man!”
Yuri tilted her head.
“I don’t know when it will rain again. I need to wipe off the sweat well now.”
“Yeah, that’s true, but…”
Hyena looked down at herself and hesitated.
The situation was like this, and I didn’t even notice it because I didn’t smell it.
It seems that Yuri’s words are bothering her anew.
“I don’t care. I will be back.”
“Ah, over there… will you please?”
Even so, he has such manners.
Women do care about things like that.
I actually turned around and sat on the other side of the window.
After a while, I felt the presence of the two of them moving.
“…….”
The sound of rustling and falling fabric.
Soon there was also the sound of the door opening.
It was raining, so both of them must have taken off their clothes.
Now just turn around and you will see naked Hye-na and Yuri.
I felt like the destructive bodies of the two, which I hadn’t tried to be aware of, flashed back in my head.
[The talent ‘Metafiction’ is active!]
[Keep your cool!]
Still, I didn’t feel impulsive because of the metafiction.
Although the fact that ‘mental defense’ occurs here in the first place was a bit embarrassing.
“Wow, Yuri has really big breasts.”
“is it? It only gets in the way when we fight.”
“Hey, hey… is it okay if I touch it?”
“yes? Well, it doesn’t really matter, so it doesn’t matter.”
“Ehehehe, thank you. Wow, so soft…”
“Umm, aren’t you touching too hard?”
[The talent ‘Metafiction’ is active!]
[The talent ‘Metafiction’ is active!!]
[The talent ‘Metafiction’ is active!!!]
‘Shut up!’
For some reason, it was a meta-fiction that I worked harder than when I met the boss.
No, honestly, it’s not my fault.
I am also a man in his prime.
Isn’t it natural to react when such beauties are taking off their clothes right in front of them?
‘What the hell is this situation?’
Is it a service scene for the readers who read this?
Do you really think readers will love it once they take it off?
……You know the reader really well.
‘Come to think of it, the three of us are sleeping here today.’
I meditated and quietly closed my eyes.
For some reason, I wanted to sing the national anthem.
****
We decided to sleep in the supply room inside the convenience store.
The space was wider than expected, and the door was strong.
If someone comes, you will know right away.
Above all, it was safer than anywhere else.
“Hmm, it reminds me of when I went on a school trip.”
“It may be difficult, but rest well. You never know what will happen tomorrow.”
After that, we closed our eyes.
Was it because it was a tiring day?
Soon after, the sound of light breathing was heard.
‘……I can’t sleep.’
But my eyes were just buzzing.
Was it because there was so much going on all of a sudden?
All of a sudden, my head started to get complicated.
It wasn’t a very nutritious idea.
Just useless worries about what will happen in the future.
‘Ehh.’
Finally, after lying down for a while, I got up.
I went outside to avoid the two who were sleeping soundly.
The rain had stopped before I knew it.
The faint smell of rain and the cool night air wrapped my skin pleasantly.
‘What kind of person am I here?’
Comment browsing and metafiction.
These two things are not normal situations.
‘Metafiction. Obviously, it meant that the characters recognized that the novel was fiction.’
Similar words include a wall of 4.
Although I only realized that this world is a web novel thanks to the system and characteristics.
At first, I thought I was possessed by a novel I vaguely knew.
I felt a strange sense of deja vu when I saw the ‘comments’ from the previous boss fight.
‘Couldn’t someone be looking at me right now?’
If you look at the constellations, there are a lot of things like that.
Saying you did well, shoot a coin.
“Hmm! Hmm! readers? If you’re looking, could you give me a coin?”
Of course nothing happened.
My face just got hot.
It’s good that Yuri and Hyena are sleeping.
If the two of you were watching, this would be a duvet kick.
‘Anyway, if this is really a novel, what should I do to see a happy ending…’
“Krrr.”
A sudden sound awakened my concentration.
When I turned around, zombies were coming toward me.
“……I was in a strange mood, but it turned out well.”
I was thinking of calling Hye-na and Yuri, but I stopped.
You must be tired, so I want to let them both rest now.
If I had seen it for the first time, I would have immediately run away to the convenience store and protested.
Now they looked like walking coins.
“Because the kids are still sleeping. Let’s fight quietly.”
“Cheer up!”
I swung a baseball bet at a zombie that came close.
The zombie’s head is smashed as it is.
‘The body is light.’
My stats are over 10 in Strength, Endurance, and Agility.
By that time, I could definitely feel that my physical abilities had improved.
[I got 10 Coins!]
[Acquired 30 Coins!]
[I got 20 Coins!]
I continued to swing my bet at the crowds.
Each time, the zombies fell helplessly.
‘It’s nice to feel that I’ve become stronger.’
If this were real, it wouldn’t have become so drastic.
At least it takes a few years of training to get a 3-500.
But if you keep fighting and growing like this.
Wouldn’t it be much stronger than that later?
“Kuhhhhh!”
Zombie wild dogs rushed overhead.
I easily dodged it and hit him with a baseball bat.
A few drops of blood splatter on your cheeks.
Even the seemingly formidable stray dogs did not seem so frightening anymore.
[You have obtained 40 Coins!]
‘I don’t want to enjoy it, but it’s definitely worth fighting for.
I was out of breath little by little, but on the contrary, my mood was rising.
I kept swinging my baseball bet.
Perhaps he has already adapted to this world.
After killing zombies like that and earning coins.
Dong was rising at some point.
When the day comes, they seem to be less active.
Slowly the zombies disappeared.
[Spent the first night of destruction safely!]
A message that comes at the right time.
When I saw that, I realized that I had survived all over again.
[From today, you will acquire coins by level every day.]
[You have obtained 50 Coins!]
‘Oh, they just give me coins?’
My current level is 5.
It seems to give coins every day as much as ‘level X 10’.
I can’t say it’s a very large amount.
Still, it felt good to have money.
[A full-scale main quest is in progress!]
[The activity area has been expanded!]
[We will announce who has made the most achievements in clearing the prologue by region!]
[If the boss is defeated by multiple people, the merit is calculated individually.]
Until exactly the next message comes to mind.
[The character achievement ranking in the area where ‘Lee Ji-hoon’ is located is as follows!]
1. Lee Ji-hoon: 206P
2. Yuri Lee: 81P
3. Minsu Kim: 37P
‘…….what is this?’
Are you going to show it to everyone in this area?
Stuffing the names of the extras like this?
Even in the apomul where a person dies?
“Evande.”
