EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school - Chapter 3
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Enemies and items that appear in PMH are ranked by “rareness”, which is based on the item’s ability and rarity.
Rareness.
That was the rank that reflected the possessed ability and rarity of the item.
The units were categorized as follows: UR (Ultra rare), SSR (Super Super Rare), SR (Super rare), R (Rare), N (Normal), and +/– were added if necessary.
However, items with unmeasurable standard rareness were displayed as EX (Extra).
And the item I chose during such a devastating moment was of the lowest rareness.
<Obtained intern assassin’s folding knife. Weapon information is now viewable.>
‘A random item!’
The system alert sound made my eyes go blurry.
It was a bronze-colored item card, close to being black-colored.
‘It may not be the random item I know!’
My brain was trying to move me toward a positive imagination.
With false hope, I chose to view the item.
<Viewing item information.>
[Item name] Intern assassin’s folding knife
[Type] Weapon
[Rareness] N-
[Experience] 0%
[Effect] 20% experience bonus +2 agility +0.5 power
[Explanation]
Simple weapon purchasable at the normal market.
Contains hatred from the intern assassin and revenge seeker.
The assassin continues to train consistently to seek revenge and slit the enemy’s throat.
My hope was completely shattered.
It was a random item that I knew.
If this were a game, I would press the home button immediately, forcefully close the game, and erase the game to reset.
That item is just the most random item ever.
The situation continued despite me feeling like wanting to give up.
The dim light at the gym showed something moving from the other side.
“Run……away……” said the low voice.
The three guys who said something to me about opening the item box looked at the other side.
“Huh? Isn’t that the supervisor? He is bleeding…..”
“That’s the hat that the supervisor wears.”
“Euishin, you just said enemies were approaching……”
What Namwook said to me was blocked out by the siren sound.
Beeep!
Beeep!
Along with the siren, there was a loud sound playing over the speaker.
When it turned quiet, there was a strange voice that came on.
-Ah ah, mic test. Hello students!
Was that a real voice?
PMH was a failed game that didn’t support voice features so it was my first time hearing that voice.
I hoped that it would be dubbed someday but not with such a voice.
– My pet was released in one area of this testing center. This is its order; ‘Play and kill it’. That’s the order!
The opening of PMH is as follows:
A supporting role without a name or a face goes to the entrance exam for Eungwang High School.
Before entering the test center, one has to sign a student consent form that says the school is not responsible for any injuries that would be incurred during the exam.
Thus, the nameless supporting role was assigned to group 13.
-Currently, Eungwang High School is blocked from all telecommunication features. The block has been activated for 15 minutes while the wild pet is released at the test center!
And the bloodied supervisor arrived inside the dark gym.
-To Korea’s well-known skilled students and potential elite players, life is always unfair!
I’m not trying to tell you that for some inspirational message…..
It’s just due to personal reasons!
After the lame and insane broadcast is over…..
-I want to kill some of you here. If you want to rescue others, have the courage and try to find them. Bye!
It was the legendary event that made more than half of the 3 million pre-registered users, including myself, log in to PMH on its release day.
‘Nameless supporting role’s tutorial’ begins now.
<Warning, the enemy is approaching.>
Grrrrr!
An enemy with a weirdly shaped rhino head and lion body stepped on the supervisor and let out a roar.
The noise was louder than the speaker and could rip anyone’s eardrums.
The tension that tightens the breath.
Murderous spirit all over the body.
The stench that smells like a dead animal.
To me, this situation made me realize that this was reality.
This was my survival instincts telling me to move.
If I don’t react, I will die.
I had to accept it.
“What is that…..?”
“Evil type? Hold on there is a bounty as well. Ah…… ah……. It’s from the Bear Clan!”
Namwook, who had an intuition skill, shouted.
‘Let’s check the enemy’s information again.’
I knew what it was since it was included in the guidebook that I made, but I had to be careful before making a move.
<Viewing Rhinoceron’s enemy information.>
[Enemy name] Rhineceron 13
[Rareness] R+
[Title] Evil animal, bear type
[Order] Your owner tells you to ‘play and kill.’
[Status] Completely submissive (Unable to deactivate), decreased cognition, senses, increased intuition
[Overall ability] Lv. 38
[Skill] Heavy dash Lv. 5
[Explanation]
Result of the bear clan’s hobby.
Made after 13 combinations and modifications.
An evil animal that is neither a rhino nor a lion.
It follows its master’s order and intuition.
While following its owner’s orders, it devastated one village on its own.
Currently has a bounty.
‘Collision with other worlds’ caused an invisible fictitious world to become reality.
Things that used to be in myths and legends became a natural phenomenon and things that were fictitious turned out to be a reality.
One of the new existences created is called the royal lineage
The royal lineage is a strange dual race that is neither part of the human race nor an enemy.
Their interference was limited although they existed for a long time in this world, now they exist in perfect shape due to collision between worlds.
The Dragon Clan, Sky Clan, and Demon Race that were believed to exist in the fictitious world now existed in the real world.
The royal lineage has different personalities so they could be allies or enemies of mankind.
‘The bear clan who sent this creature is the enemy.’
The bear clan is aggressive and hedonistic.
Pet type R+ Rhinoceron, modified as a pet for the bear clan, was the enemy.
‘Everyone was killed by this monster.’
Almost 10 years have passed, but I still remember.
From the tutorial, it was already a failed game feature as strong enemies murdered everyone due to the unfair imbalance of players’ status.
‘I still wanted to clear the game.’
But I wasn’t able to do it.
The NPCs and supporting characters that I controlled were killed and torn to pieces no matter what I did.
After the block was deactivated, high-rank players and teachers quickly ran to the gym.
However, what they found were bloodstains and flesh that was too little to be a corpse.
Despaired faces in the detailed graphic were still vivid.
‘The maximum time I survived was 9 minutes.’
5 minutes using Rhinoceron’s characteristics.
4 minutes using the item.
A total of barely 9 minutes.
However, there were still 15 minutes until the block would be deactivated.
“Don’t move!”
My comment made Minki stop running away.
“Rhinocerons are sensitive to big movements, but it has bad eyesight and hearing! If you don’t move actively, you will be fine for a bit!”
That means I have to find other strategies.
Just survive for 15 minutes.
It doesn’t seem that long.
However, we were talking about surviving for 15 minutes against a monster with a big level difference.
‘It’s the same difficulty as surviving 15 minutes inside a tall building that is about to collapse.’
The available tools were three middle school students and a random item with the lowest rank.
I needed more tools to use.
“Open the item box.”
The completely panicked guys took the palm-sized box out of their pockets in a rush.
In my case, it was summoned from an exclusive menu item window, but it was different for the others.
Soon, Namwook, Minki, and Sanghoon all opened a random item box for students and obtained an item card.
However, none of the guys felt relieved.
Namwook picked 4 [Flower extract recovery potion]
Minki picked 3 [Spider web trap]
Sanghoon picked 4 [Cotton puppet’s sacrifice].
We’re all screwed.
We four guys should never buy lottery tickets.
‘Wait, did Namwook pick relatively well? At least out of us four…..’
Rareness was the worst, but those three picked consumable items.
I’m the only one who picked a weapon.
‘I need to think.’
Four people’s physical abilities including myself.
Items.
Monster Rhinoceron.
15 Minutes.
I thought of the next plan.
“I looked at the skills. The monster is a pet type R+ Rhinoceron. It belongs to the bear clan and has an order.”
I reviewed the confirmed information while remaining as calm as possible.
Minki seemed to stumble as he lost the energy in his legs, but Namwook didn’t trip as he had good reflexes.
These were guys who were looking to enter Korea’s highest high school, Eungwang High.
They must learn theory so they could understand the Rhinoceron’s destructive power with such information.
“It can turn everything into ash in 2 minutes despite not having eyes or ears.”
I landed a critical hit.
“For now, it is fine as it follows the ‘play and kill’ order. However, as time elapses, that order may turn into ‘destroy everything.’”
To be exact, ‘it will change’ rather than ‘it may change.’
Even if we try out many patterns, the monster’s movement will surely change after enduring for 5 minutes.
“Now I will share my thoughts. If you have any other thoughts, tell me immediately. Let’s decide within 4 minutes.”
14 minutes left
I was the one who was spaced out until now, but I suddenly became active which made them doubtful, but there was no choice.
They nodded their heads.
“I’m in.”
As soon as I spoke, Sanghoon handed his item to me.
Sanghoon’s 4 [Cotton puppet’s sacrifice] was transferred to me.
<Received the rights of ‘Cotton puppet’s sacrifice’ from ‘Yoo Sanghoon’.>
He had guts as he handed over the only item he had at such a critical moment.
<Viewing item information>
[Item name] Cotton puppet’s sacrifice
[Type] Consumable
[Rareness] N-
[Effect] Decreases damage by 30% for 15 seconds before being destroyed.
[Explanation]
A puppet filled with old cotton and fabric.
About 100 years ago, it was used to keep birds away from the cornfield.
Now, automatic laser puppets replaced the workforce to do the job.
It has a large surface to hide one’s body.
“Me too.”
Minki nodded while shaking.
Now, only Namwook had to agree.
The guy with the best physique was thinking so much that he repeatedly opened and closed his mouth.
“I shouldn’t be saying this as I can’t plan out anything, but even if things turn out well, someone will get wounded.”
Namwook spoke while taking out an item card.
“Be careful, Euishin…..!”
Namwook hesitated as he was worried about me.
The Rhinoceron looked around the gym for its next target after abandoning the supervisor who couldn’t move.
It was known that the Rhinoceron can’t hear, but still, we moved very slowly without making a noise.
‘I hope we can run away after the block time is over.’
That expectation was crushed shortly.
The Rhinoceron let out a scream.
Grrrrr!
Its movement visibly turned aggressive.
When I rechecked the Rhinoceron’s status window, the [Order] part was updated.
[Order] Your owner orders you to ‘destroy everything.’
It was expected, but the monster will turn everything into ash, including the gym.
<Warning, enemy ‘Rhinoceron’ is going to use the skill ‘heavy dash.’>
