Chapter 1

There was a game called "The Heroic Tales of Loki Academy."

This game, which had only started a year ago, had delighted me for a year with its outstanding graphics, vast map, and immersive story.

However, since I started playing it when it was already on the decline, I didn't put much passion into it.

Then, one day.

"Wow... really pushing it, aren't they?"

A ridiculous laugh burst out of Kim Hahoon.

Today was April 1st, April Fool's Day.

But the developer of this failing game had updated an absurd skill for the April Fool's Day event.

"Really, they're something else."

Was it because the game was going to shut down in three days?

When I opened the random skill box I received from the April Fool's Day event, an unusual skill popped out.

"Your inner mental strength becomes unyielding. All动摇 disappear, and endless concentration and perseverance surpass human limits.

Immune to mental magic.

Rank: SS

Type: Active

Cooldown: None

All time except for your own stops.

Rank: SSS

Type: Active

Cooldown: None

The first one is understandable, but the second one is strange.

Time stop... really, have they gone too far?

It seems like a skill designed to make the game free to play.

"Well, it looks like it's really going to fail now."

Of course, since it's an April Fool's Day event, it's somewhat understandable that such a balance-breaking skill would appear. The game is going to shut down in three days anyway.

The developer probably made it for fun.

"Hmm... but three days..."

Three days seems like a lot of time...

At least with the time stop skill, I could see all the endings of the last remaining character, right? It's almost like a free pass.

"Ah... what's the point of all this now?"

Hahoon didn't want to create unnecessary attachments.

When he started playing this game, it was already on the decline.

With nothing else to do, Hahoon occasionally played the game to pass the time, and now, after a year, he had cleared all characters except for the last one.

Of course, if he started using this skill now, he could see the ending of that character in three days, but he didn't really want to.

In three days, Hahoon would be a proper working adult.

He wanted to do something more fulfilling than sitting in his room playing games before becoming a working adult.

"Alright, shall we start then?"

Just in case, Hahoon was determined to prepare thoroughly.

Attachments can be scary. Even if you say you won't, you might find yourself reaching for the keyboard at some point. Since this game is unexpectedly addictive, Hahoon needed to be prepared.

"Alright, delete everything."

Hahoon deleted all five max-level characters and the last remaining new character, then flopped onto his bed and stared at the ceiling.

From now on, Hahoon planned to live a diligent life.

No, he had to. His savings were running out.

His life was unplanned. That was Hahoon's current situation.

He had no family to turn to. He was an orphan.

"I should go out and walk around a bit tomorrow."

Hahoon closed his eyes.

In the dim room.

The moment Hahoon fell asleep, the computer, which had been turned off, powered on, and the faint light from the monitor began to illuminate the room.
