"Hey, nerd!"

A word that I could get used to. Living as a poor student in this rich school is hard, it's all thanks to my smartness that I got free tuition fees here. So, I'm more like a slave than a student here.

"Yes?"

"Get us some snack, will you? Here, money. We all know you don't have one"

They laugh at me, that's not new to me. I go out and see a lot of people in the hallway

(Are you kidding me? Why are there a lot of students outside?)

I start to walk towards the hallway, and they started whispering but it was odd. It was not about me, instead, it was about a game?

After I brought those bastards some snacks, I open my phone to see what was the game about.

{A newly made game named "The Crimson" A game for you to save the world from evildoers, disasters, and more!}

Sounds pathetic. I don't even know why people would download this. I put my phone inside my bag as I waited for our next teacher to come in.

The crimson game, huh?

It's only been two days, and students in this school are already getting addicted to it. They barely listen to the class, barely eat their lunch, and barely talk to each other. Is it that awesome? Let's see the characters on their page.

[Main Character: Seol Han-Bin]

[Main Villain: Choi Myeong Ho]

[Supporting Character 1: Lee Bo Min]

[Supporting Character 2: Eun-Soo Gyeong]

[More characters...]

Hmm, they all look good to be honest, especially the villain. Should I download this game? Let's see...

I opened my games store and searched for "The Crimson Game" Ah, there it is.

[Downloading...]

[Please erase apps to have more storage for this game]

..Are you kidding me?!

"I'm home" Of course, no one would answer. They died after all. I glanced at our family picture and slammed it face down. I don't wanna see that anymore, I'll just feel more pathetic.

Luckily my uncle, who's obsessed with games brought me an Xbox, I opened it and started downloading that game. This better is worth it, my television is already lagging.

Finally, it's done. Let's see...

Holy cow, after playing that game for a week straight, I feel...so refreshed. This game isn't so bad after all. Oh, shoot! We have school, it's already Monday! The holiday week already ended! I'm so late! I hurriedly grabbed a new school uniform, my bag, and my shoes. What the hell?! I shouldn't download that game in the first place! Damn you!!!

I'm finally at school. What the..where is everyone? It's Monday, right? I grabbed my phone to double-check if it was Monday today.

[Calendar]

It's Monday though? Ah, whatever. Let's just go inside. I opened the school's door and not even a breathing or talking was heard. What is going on? April Fools already ended! I walked toward my class hoping they were there. I opened the door and it was empty, ghost empty.

What the..? Let's check the other classrooms. What the hell is going on?

{Hello there, player!}

That startled me! What's this holographic screen in front of me? I tried to swish it, hoping it would disappear but not to avail.

{Would you like to start the game?}

{Yes}. {No}.

Am I in the game? I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming right now.

....

So, I punched myself, and no it wasn't a dream. This is hilarious! I'm actually in a game! Let's see...

{Yes}. {No}

{Yes} √

{Generating, please wait}

Hmm, if this is true. The first part that would happen here is..that I'm going to fight an ogre.

Monster Level: 0

{Accept?}

I clicked yes with hesitation, I'm still weak, but luckily this quest gave me some hints on what to use so I can kill that ogre

• Grrr...•

I turned around, sweating buckets, and there was an ogre in front of me. Okay..just do it as you did in the game.

Suddenly, the ogre runs towards me with full killing intent.

This ogre wants to kill me alright. I ran outside the classroom as fast as I can.

•Kuregghhh!!!•

As I can remember, monsters here take falling damage.

I ran towards our rooftop and locked the door.

•Bang! Bang! Bang•

Oh God, is this the only way? Why didn't I grab something inside the school?! Suddenly, the banging noise stopped.

•Arghh!!!•

The ogre managed to break down the door, as I ran towards the edge. The ogre swung its weapon as I barely managed to dodge it. I ran more towards the edge and as soon as the ogre ran towards me, I swiftly dodge, going to the right

•Ahhhh!!!•

The ogre screamed and fell, blood was splattered, green blood.

"Hah...Hah...Hah" Damn, this game!

{Quest completed!}

'Receiving reward..'

'Reward received!'

'5 stars, level up, and knowledge'

{Purchasing...}

{Purchased}

Suddenly, a small smoke popped in front of me, It was the pocket. I placed the Marauder inside and closed it and put it inside my school's pocket.

"Who are you?"
