NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2-Unknown
Episode 2, Unknown
“What are you talking about?”
Suddenly, the vision switched to black and white, and the hourglass began to go round and round.
I calmly rolled my eyes to grasp what was happening.
But no matter how many times I re-read the system messages, I had a hard time figuring out what they meant.
what’s up…
At that time, my vision returned to normal, and a new message popped up one after another.
[Complete: 1 route found.]
[‘Unknown(6649)’ is granted developer privileges.]
[Development contribution points of 10,000 DP are paid by default.]
I still couldn’t figure out the meaning, but the change in the state of’meal’ is bound to be positive anyway.
With a pounding heart, I started to scan the UI in detail.
And soon I found an icon I hadn’t seen on the menu bar.
『Developer Mode』
When I clicked the icon without hesitation, all the UI that I was ‘familiar with disappeared, and four new menu icons remained.
Additions, corrections, indexes, reports…
What auspicious words these are.
I hurriedly checked the tooltip.
Add new settings to the world or target.
Consume/acquire DP according to the balance algorithm.
Correction: Modify the target’s settings.
Modifications that conflict with progress are not allowed.
Targets linked to existing events and quests cannot be modified.
Consume/acquire DP according to the balance algorithm.
【index】: You can search all the information in the world.
When browsing, DP is consumed according to the value scale.
Report: Possible errors: 1 “and.” I didn’t throw it out to die.
I didn’t know how to use it properly, but there was nothing difficult to understand right away. I was certain that it was the key that would open the way out.
I was in a hurry to try it out, but I couldn’t keep holding the Awakening Stone in the study.
So, I decided to check only the report items that caught my attention a while ago.
──────────
[Possible errors] <0x07> ‘Unknown(6649)’ is trying to enter Cheongsong Academy.
148 characters relate to ‘Unknown (6649)’.
An error occurred in the quest [Graduates of Korea Yeopsul School].
──────────
More than anything else, one proper noun stood out first.
Korea Yeopsul School. can’t know this Among the names that appear in the main story, if you want to belong to the young axis, all of them were from there.
‘I should have noticed it when I said it was the first superhuman training institute in Korea.’
So, Cheongsong Academy is the predecessor of the Korea Yeopsul School.
If it wasn’t for my father… I almost missed out on a golden opportunity.
***
After descending into the basement, I put down the wooden box in the corner of the warehouse, dragged the toolbox, and sat down.
The first goal was to wake up only when the future was dark, but now that the situation has changed, it is necessary to be a little cautious.
To be honest, after looking at the error report, it is questionable whether the Awakening Stone will be absorbed normally without correcting the error of ‘existence’.
“hmm… .”
I don’t know how long it takes to absorb the Awakening Stone in reality.
I was about to go back to my room, saying I had something to do first, but I opened the Messenger app on my smartwatch. I didn’t want to be disturbed like this today.
As it is naturally absorbed through the skin, it is not a job that will be finished in a snap.
I clicked on my father on the hologram screen. It might leak in the warehouse, but it’s not a problem, so don’t worry.
(Father: I know) food.
It was a little surprising that he answered.
“Let’s start now.”
I flicked my wrist to blow up the hologram and widened my eyes so as not to miss a clue.
The key to use would be either an addition, an amendment, or both.
The problem is that all functions except for reports consume DP.
《Current DP: 10,000》
▶ DP (Development Contribution Points): DP can be obtained by increasing the volume of the game.
Volume increase recognition items: events to be recorded, memories, relationships, recipes, events, quests. DP can be compensated by adding penalty characteristics to privileged characters or reducing stats.
(※ Currently, it is unavailable because there is no character information.)
Looking at the acquisition method, it seems unreasonable to supply and demand right now.
All I can use is 10,000 DP.
You never know how much you’ll need. It means that if you exhaust all before you see the solution, you will fall into a state of no answer. You must indeed go to Cheongsong Academy,
but… .
You don’t know when you don’t know anything, but after looking at the report, I don’t dare to honestly test what would happen if I ignored the error.
“Whoa<0xEE> <0x07>.”
I tried to shake off the ominous thoughts.
The system was said to be a route that could be corrected.
You can reduce trial and error by accurately identifying the problem.
I double-checked every feature’s tooltip and error report, then popped up an info window to one side.
── [Character information]
── Name: Unknown (6649)
※ This is not a character.
─Cannot find ability information.
─Talent information not found.
─Cannot find property information.
─Technical information not found.
──────────
Now, using the edit function, you can change the name there.
However, it did not occur to me that the name was directly related to the error.
The citizen NPCs that players beat up when they were bored didn’t have a name even though they ‘appeared’ in the main story.
Also, as the DP’s tooltip says, if the new relationship is recognized as an increase in the game’s volume, my intervention itself is not the cause of the error.
In my case, after all, it must be because of the ‘death’ scheduled before the main story.
What to edit…
It must be a more fundamental event or device.
After thinking about it for a while, I selected Index and opened the search box.
And I typed ‘unknown’.
[41,325,677 settings information retrieved. Would you like to browse? – consumed DP 413,256,770]
… …
Are you crazy? What kind of information is 40 million pieces, and who is 400 million DP? .
Come to think of it, there must be countless characters named ‘unknown’.
Enter the full name ‘Unknown (6649)’ and click Search again.
[1 setting information was retrieved.] Would you like to browse? -consumed DP 10] 10 DP.
According to the consumption calculation method, it means that I am only worth that much.
When I clicked Browse, a new window popped up.
─ [Non-displayed setting information]
─ 「Name: Unknown (6649)」
「Creation Date: 2008.05.30」
Ability/talent/characteristics/skill settings: all off—unacceptable」
「Personality: non-specified type-according to growth environment」
「Group: Sangcheol Han, Unknown (6648), Unknown (6650)—family group」
「Category: Not Appearing-Dead A」
「Role Settings: Trigger Han Sang-cheol (dead son), Trigger Han Sang-cheol (lost a family member).
「Status: Reservation Deleted (belongs to the category of ‘Non-appearancedead A’.)」
─────────
“ah<0x07> <0x07>.”
I found it right away.
This hidden setting was short, but it contained a lot of content.
If you absorbed the Awakening Stone while Talent Acquisition was turned off….
It’s dizzy just thinking about it.
The ‘Unknown’ of consecutive numbers will point to the mother and Seongyun.
If it was like this, it seemed that they could also appear later.
And self-explanatory role setting and status. Laughter came out. Without the system, my plan to become strong and survive would probably have been a futile struggle.
I was relieved and corrected the items one by one. I found the problem, so I put in the name, and I modified the ability-related settings to ‘all on’.
When the category was changed to ‘appearance’, the reservation deletion was automatically canceled.
[Warning: Unable to save the modified content due to an error in the role setting item.]
The message that popped up then. It was an expected warning. Because it wasn’t a difficult mechanism.
I deleted the ‘triggers’ in the role setting item,
but…
That didn’t work out.
[This item is required to start the game and cannot be deleted].
“Sir, you mean to live or to die.”
It seemed like a device that had some influence on his father’s personality or behavior.
The problem was that it was so large that it could not be deleted. dead son.
His dead son! I got up from my seat out of frustration and went back and forth in the warehouse.
A shallow trick hit my head. Wouldn’t it matter if it was a device that produced the same effect? I modified the trigger a bit. ‘
Trigger Han Sang-cheol (the son who believes he is dead)’ And I looked at the system for a while, but I didn’t tackle it. “<0x0F> <0x07>.”
Then save.
Are you sure you want to save the changes?
[Consumed DP 4,250] After accepting it right away, I quickly checked the report.
<0x07>
[necessary event]
※ An incident where the death of Han Seong-jun can be disguised.
– Time limit 2 years 318 days 14 hours 33 minutes 57 seconds
─────────
It was a success.
***
After absorbing the Awakening Stone without much trouble, he visited the public health center the next day and received a ‘paranormal ability appraisal report’.
Among the detailed evaluation findings, such as the in-body measurement table, one line stood out.
Classification: Magic (Level 9)
“<0x0F> <0x07>.”
I knew better than anyone that the initial specs after awakening were not good.
After awakening, the information window became denser.

Players can additionally distribute 28 points to seven stats, which are the basic 1 point when creating a character. So the total is 35. The initial limit for each stat is 9 points.
Mostly, invest 8 in the 3 stats you want, and give the remaining 4 points to luck.
Instead of throwing away non-main abilities, it is a way to make sure your strengths.
Of course, the uninvested item is only 1 point, but whether the intelligence is 1 or the charm is 1, the probability is filled with the player’s control and labor.
But in reality… .
‘I didn’t have distribution rights.’
It probably reflects my actual state after awakening.
Thanks to this, the talents and characteristics determined by ability levels were divided into magic and tank types, respectively.
Talent is the direction the character will grow as a weapon, and characteristics can be interpreted as unique differences. In a word, it’s shit, but it’s not something to be disappointed with. Because I am a deceased person who can see through the compatibility, and I have the fraudulent level of authority to add and modify.
“ But what is 9th grade, 9th grade?”
However, the reality of a piece of paper stigmatizing a grade was not very pleasant.
Anyway, my father took care of the application process after submitting the appraisal report.
Thanks to that, I was able to focus on personal training to utilize magical power and improve my basic abilities. A few days later, an online personality test was conducted for applicants.
After another week, a 10-page curriculum guide pamphlet and a written oath arrived in the mail.
The pledge stated that the academy would not be held accountable for accidents in education and training and that in the event of forced expulsion due to violation of school rules or criminal acts, the entire cost of education supported so far would be borne.
All this while I thought I didn’t know…
The news about Cheongsong Academy was first released to the media 15 days after the announcement of the successful applicants.
Public interest was hot.
The qualifications for application from late teens to mid-twenties were wrapped in youthful spirit.
Just because he was an admitted student, he was praised as a patriotic young man and went up and down in various media.
It was a level of ‘heroization’ that was quite embarrassing for the person concerned.
Over the past 17 years, superhumans have continued to exist, but the only difference is that the government has represented the purpose of these young superhumans.
“Brother Brother! If you don’t have other appointments this weekend, can you meet my friends? uh?”
Even Seongyun’s attitude, which was always a quarrelsome one, changed 180 degrees, so you can guess how much the press was ruthless.
“I have an appointment.”
“Then next week?”
“It seems there was.”
“Anytime is fine. How about when I finish school today?”
“<0x07> <0x9B>.”
~Giying. He said while holding up the smartwatch that was just ringing.
“It came into being.” Sungyoon’s face contorted for a moment, but the sound that followed was completely unexpected. “Ah.”
“<0x07> <0x9B>.”
“Brother.”
In an instant, a brain freeze came.
The reaction that Han Seong-jun’s instinct tells me is because I think it’s too radical.
“I’ll think about it. I’m late for school.” “You said you were thinking about it? Mom, I go to an academy!”
~Giying. Jiying. “under. Jung Yong-ho This baby.
” Yongho has been Seongjun Han’s confidant for 15 years.
Memories are also memories, but since I often went there when I was in the hospital, there is no awkwardness at all.
Recently, middle and high school alumni contacted me to have a drink, but it was all because of Yongho’s clothes.
Yong-ho, who was about to return to school after being discharged from the military, insisted on going on a backpacking trip in the summer and only told him about the fact that he was enrolling in Cheongsong.
Rejection also consumes a lot of energy, so I sighed and looked at the smart location.
“… ?”
“Father.”
It was an unexpected caller.
