I Can See the Comments on the Doomed Novel

27 – keep having fun

The hatter didn’t say anything for a while.

He just looked at me and seemed a little troubled.

It was just a subtle smile unique to merchants.

And then you say you do it first.

“You looked very carefully at someone else’s love letter.”

“I didn’t want to see a boy with a dark history either.”

I honestly expected it because it was 10,000 coins.

When I first saw the content, I was a little disappointed.

Well, I was a little surprised when I found out that the password was hidden.

“Sorry, but I have nothing to say about that.”

“I’m thinking of paying the information fee this time.”

Isn’t it information related to the secrets of this world?

I was curious about this story as a reader and survivor,

At the same time, it seems to help survival.

But the hatter shook his head.

“It’s not that I don’t talk, it’s that I really can’t talk. If I presume to give you information-”

-Pajijik!

In an instant, the Hatter’s sleeve burned with a spark.

He lifted his tanned wrist and smiled.

“Because you filter like this.”

“……Are you preventing NPCs from giving out useless information?”

“Well, that’s how it is. In this world, intelligence is also a skill. If we talk carelessly, the balance will be messed up.”

system, quest,

I knew there were many restrictions in this world.

Was that the same for NPCs?

In the end, they are just characters like us in the perspective of ‘destruction’.

“So the player can’t get that kind of information forever?”

“Umm, I don’t know what the information you’re talking about means, but-”

The hat seller looked up at the sky and said.

“No matter what it is, it will be unlocked little by little as you clear the main quest.”

In the end, it was a story that there was no choice but to continue living in this destruction.

‘I thought that if I knew about the secrets of this world, my chances of surviving would go up even a little bit.’

To be honest, it didn’t matter if this world was a novel written by someone else.

Because it was perceived as ‘metafiction’ in the first place.

I just want to use that information somehow.

The hat seller who had been watching me quietly smiled.

“Have you ever felt like this? You’re lucky, things worked out better than you thought, an opportunity like this here?! Things like this.”

I didn’t answer anything.

Because that actually happened.

No, to be honest, there were quite a lot.

“Of course, it was your efforts that reached that ‘expectation’. It was also your ability to keep coming up with new ideas without giving up until the end.”

The hatter smiled and adjusted the hat.

“In fact, you are a player who is showing quite amazing achievements.”

“I?”

“Breaking the district boss for the first time in this world line, the collected coins are already ahead of 10,000, and the growth rate is also the highest.”

Hearing it like that sounds great again.

I also defeated a lot of boss monsters.

If this is enough from the beginning, I might not have been a pretty cool person.

“Oh, of course it is among the general public. Reincarnated, possessed, reincarnated, genius, psychic, even android. If you put all the different types of people together, they still belong to the normal axis.”

The hatter hit the candle right away.

“You came all the way here. That alone gives NPCs like us a reason to be interested.”

“Are you interested in me? why?”

“We are not fundamentally different from you. There is a desire to go up, and there is a desire to live. That’s why I watch you all going through destruction.”

The Hatter is the Merchant of Perdition NPC.

A merchant is a person who sells goods to make money.

Is there a reason why he collects coins?

“By the way, have you ever thought about this? That I showed you the letter on purpose.”

“What?”

“You somehow found the letter and read the message in it. And now we are talking about destruction. This alone can give you quite a bit of information. At the very least, it is certain that Doom makes you special.”

“…I’m just an extra.”

At my words, the Hatter burst out with the biggest laugh he’s ever had.

“ha ha ha! There are no extras like you in the world!”

……What?

The feeling of being cursed strangely while being praised.

“Of course, I agree that you are an ordinary human being with some special traits. But the behavior you showed is far from an extra.”

“Hmm.”

All this while, I recognized myself as an extra.

Appearing in a novel in which Yuri is the main character.

It’s just a bug that survived by accident.

But if this is another story separate from the original.

I might be in a pretty important position.

‘Ah, damn my head is starting to get complicated.’

Isn’t it the same as being in a novel anyway?

It doesn’t change the fact that I have to keep growing in order to survive.

“After all, it’s the same damn world where you don’t know when you will die.”

“hahahaha! Well, that’s right. Suddenly, Destruction may change its mind and drop the meteorite to create an ending.”

The hatter nodded with a pleasant laugh.

“Even if it seems like this, I am risking my life right now to talk about it. If the conversation doesn’t respond right now, he’ll probably try to kill me. Haven’t you already seen someone similar?”

I thought of Han So-young, who was taken to the underworld.

Queen bees, trolls, even betrayals.

A character who collects only things that readers hate.

Even in the original story, she was said to be dead.

He died the same way this time.

“If you don’t like destruction, will you be kicked out?”

“Oh, not necessarily. There are some rules here too. Would you call it susceptibility? Wouldn’t it be strange if you or I were suddenly shot and killed?”

No, if I get hit with a pistol, I just die.

Being an ordinary human being, holes are drilled.

“It has been a long talk, but fortunately Perish is satisfied with the current situation in its own way. As long as we do now, there will be no problem.”

“What does it mean to be satisfied? Did the readers even give compliments? I’m so grateful that I want to do a Grand Session?”

“hahahaha! That is something we will never know!”

I suddenly remembered browsing comments.

‘Comments that can’t be checked yet.’

A sentence that felt like watching my situation right now.

Could there be some secret there?

“Well, but is it true that I used you? Consider this a sign of a small castle.”

The hatter snapped his fingers.

Then, a black ticket fell into my hand.

“What’s this?”

“It’s a VVIP ticket to a place called a ruined hotel.”

The name of the perish hotel.

What kind of crazy mention is that?

“There was an interesting event there. It’s a dangerous place, of course, but it’s good to go there to get stronger.”

“If it’s a reward, I’d rather give you coins.”

“hahahaha! For you who still have a lot of coins? That is what Destruction will be angry with.”

The hat seller nodded at the end of his words.

“Please don’t get tired of seeing other people. Please keep having fun. I want to live a long time.”

Then he disappeared with the smoke.

‘…I can feel the fact that this is a novel written by someone.’

I was stunned because I felt like I had heard something great.

‘Deadpool wasn’t really my taste.’

If I’m going to use it, I’ll even use popular academy or heroic stuff.

Why is it an apocalypse without dreams and hopes?

Looking at the monsters that come out, it doesn’t seem like they’re particularly good at zombies.

Once again, I felt resentful of the person who created this world.

****

“Did you buy something well?”

The expressions of Yuri and Hyena looking at me back were very subtle.

Hyena’s face is slightly red.

“It’s not like that.”

“it’s okay. All men are like that, even Hyena understands.”

“I understand, and I don’t.”

If a dirty development comes out, you should put 19 gold on it.

Apomul + 19 gold.

I’m sure the incoming readers aren’t expecting when the H-scene will come out.

I’ve come too far for that.

‘Well, that’s for the writer who created this world to worry about. It’s not something I have to worry about.’

No, it’s not like the story was ruined because the development was strange.

A writer might suddenly do the whole year.

‘Some of the Najaxos I’ve seen before are said to be open year-round without a rumor.’

My life is also a candle in front of the wind.

To think that I have to worry about not only me but also the world perishing.

Well, I wish there were all novels like this.

Munchkin Academy is finished.

“What are you thinking, Jihoon-ah?”

“Oh, actually, the hatter gave me something like this earlier.”

I showed the ticket to the ‘Destruction Hotel’ from the hatter.

“Ah, it’s a doomed hotel.”

“I know?”

“I’ve been there once in my previous life.”

A reincarnated person who has already gone through destruction.

Even if you show only one, information comes out easily.

“What kind of place is this?”

“It is literally a hotel. No, in terms of the knowledge of this world, it is more like a resort. It is a place where you can safely rest for a while, avoiding destruction.”

“Wow.”

Hyena let out a little admiration.

safety.

It must be a word everyone wants in this world right now.

“Of course, it is not a comfortable place. If you think of growth, it would be better to do various quests, but above all, the core of this hotel is… … .”

Yuri paused for a while before speaking.

“It is a place where those who did not choose a job in the first choice can choose a job.”

“Hoo.”

Neither Yuri nor I chose a separate job.

To be honest, I never really felt the need for it.

Looking at Hye-na’s ‘Best Driver’ skill, a good job has a lot of utility.

“Besides, it’s a VVIP ticket. I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

“Is it valuable?”

“If a similar main quest goes on here too. It’s not easy to even get a regular ticket.”

that much?

The hat seller handed it over like it was no big deal.

It seems to be a surprisingly expensive item.

“Thinking about it, it just went well.”

Yuri suddenly nodded.

“There is also a place where you can make other potions here. If you use the A-class life essence, you can make something better.”

Making another potion with the 10,000-coin essence?

‘Wow, what the hell do you want?’

How big of a picture does our protagonist draw?

As expected, the scale is different because they are reincarnated.

I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with potions.

“Then it’s decided. Can we go to this ruined hotel?”

Hyena, our driver, asked.

There was a map written on the back of the ticket.

“Due to the timing, the hotel probably wasn’t open yet. But it would be better to lock it up in advance until the place where you can use the ticket.”

“Then, is this our next destination?”

Unlike schools and museums that are relatively outskirts, it is completely in the middle of the city.

Now was the time to move in earnest.
