(4)

Human extinction.

It was a short phrase, but the weight carried within was immense. Not only the protagonist, but the viewers as well were left dumbfounded.

― What's this about mentioning humanity?

― Look at how suddenly the scale explodes, lol

― Just what is going on in this universe, seriously!

Alfonso soon shook his head after seeing the protagonist's expression.

"Oh dear, I got a bit too excited. Whew... Trying to explain this, I hardly know where to start."

He stroked his white beard, seemingly collecting his thoughts while settling his breath.

"It'll be easier to understand if we start from what you know. You're aware that pirates swarm the seas and sea monsters are proliferating, right?"

"Yes, of course. That's why the role of our navy has become even more important, hasn't it?"

At the protagonist's reply, alfonso let out a deep breath.

"Indeed, but that's merely the phenomenon."

"The phenomenon, you say...?"

"Pirates and sea monsters can be dealt with by force. But what's more important is the cause behind these phenomena."

Saying this, alfonso turned his gaze to the massive maritime map hanging on the wall. The protagonist's vision naturally followed his.

"What I mean is that the land humans can tread on is shrinking."

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

The protagonist's eyes opened wide. Alfonso continued in a bitter tone.

"It is as I said. The sea level is rising rapidly. While the population keeps growing, the land people can live on is decreasing. The same goes for the resources we can harvest."

Alfonso pointed to a small dot on the map.

"Do you know what this is?"

"Isn't that a reef zone?"

"Yes, presently it is. But it must have been about when you just began to walk. Back then, there was a small fishing village here."

"A fishing village?"

The protagonist looked back and forth between the map and Alfonso, as if he couldn't understand. But Alfonso's expression remained very grave.

"The fishermen there lost their homes to the rising sea. And this isn't just a single case. While people inland could manage, the small villages on the fringes were submerged and lost."

"That can't be..."

"The real problem came after. People who lost their villages became refugees. But the inlanders had no capacity to take them in."

Alfonso closed his eyes, as if trying to hide his regrets.

"Those who lost their homes set foot not on soil, but on the decks of ships. What do you think they could do to survive?"

"Captain, don't tell me..."

"It's exactly as you suspect. They became pirates."

Shock spread not only on the protagonist's face but in the chat.

― So being a pirate was a matter of survival, I'm telling you?

― Can't they just keep fishing?

― There were already pirates, does this work?

― Yeah, and pirates fight among themselves too, so...

Nodding as if understanding how the protagonist felt, alfonso soon spoke sternly.

"Even given the situation, the navy can't recognize the legitimacy of piracy. It's impossible to distinguish one by one between good and bad pirates. Therefore, to the navy, pirates are nothing but 'evil'."

― That's the right thing for the navy to do, lol

― How are you supposed to tell which ones are the original looters!

― Seriously, if you let your guard down, you'll just get stabbed in the back

― This feels like a setting they added because there are pirate players too

― Yeah, lol if you treat all pirates as bad, what about the people playing pirates?

As the viewers agreed with his explanation, alfonso continued.

"That's why humanity desperately needs Atlantis' technology. With it, we could even conquer the seabed."

"Conquer the seabed...?"

"If there's no reason to cling to land, there's no reason for pirates to increase. And it would make subduing sea monsters much easier!"

Alfonso checked his watch as he explained, letting out a short breath.

"Goodness, it's already this late..."

He opened a drawer, took out a document, and swiftly signed it. Then, after stamping it, he handed it to the protagonist.

"Sir, what is this?"

"A permit for a ruin exploration. It's an Atlantean ruin the navy has secured. Internally, we call it the 'Missing Link'."

"Missing Link..."

"You'll understand faster by seeing it for yourself rather than from my explanation."

Handing over Horatio's records as well, alfonso tidied them up and gave them to the protagonist.

"This map Horatio left behind—perhaps you'll be able to decipher it at the ruin."

At those words, the protagonist's eyes sparkled. He formally accepted the documents and saluted Alfonso.

"I will proceed with the mission."

"Mm."

As Alfonso responded, the screen slowly faded to black.

Once the cutscene ended, Lee Gyeongbok and Park Juho returned to the front of the headquarters building.

"Ah, so this is how the story unfolds."

"The next destination is the ruin, then."

"That's right. No point in waiting—shall we set off right away?"

― There's way more content in this than I thought, lol

― I really thought it'd be boring with just sailing

― Let's go find godfather!

-???: There's no time to hesitate!

With Lee Gyeongbok's declaration to proceed, the viewers responded in unison.

* * *

Lee Gyeongbok and Park Juho arrived at their destination.

"Oh? This isn't a regular port."

"Judging by the NPCs' uniforms, it must be a naval base."

It was a coastal base controlled by the navy. After docking and stepping onto the pier, a uniformed man approached.

"Excuse me. Without a permit, you can't go any farther inside."

"Does this even make sense?"

PerParrot tilted its head and glared at the commander.

"Whoa, that startled me. I'll leave PerParrot here for now."

― Is this where Kemalcon pops up?

― The timing for PerParrot barging in is hilarious, lol

― Probably because it's not a cutscene, lol

― At the level of a scene-stealer, lol

Seeing the chat's reaction, Lee Gyeongbok let out a hollow laugh and unsummoned PerParrot.

"Ahem, here you go."

He handed over the permit from his inventory. The man's eyes darted quickly before he saluted.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Purple! I'm the commander of this base. I'll personally lead you to the ruin."

"Ah, thank you."

The commander took the lead and explained as they walked.

"As you might know, this place is strictly confidential. Ordinary sailors can't leave the base. In other words, only you captains are allowed to enter the ruin."

"So it's content meant to be conquered by just the players."

Lee Gyeongbok nodded to Park Juho's comment. Soon, they reached the entrance to the ruin.

"It's similar in design to the manufacturing device."

The structure was metallic, giving off a faint blue light. Though it was covered in dirt and vines as if left alone for a long time, the entrance seemed to have been cleared ahead of time.

Heavily armed navy soldiers stood guard on either side.

"To enter the ruin, you'll need an Atlantis Crystal."

The commander handed them a blue crystal.

― WA! Free crystal!

― Shouldn't crystals be bought with money?

-5252, can they really just give these out like this!?

― If you love bald guys, you get them for free!

― What kind of nutcase thing is that, lol

While viewers cheered at the situation, the commander continued explaining.

"The ruin connects deep underground. There's an elevator at the entrance, and you'll need this crystal to activate it. We only distribute crystals to those with a permit."

He pressed the crystal into Lee Gyeongbok's hand and spoke in a parade rest stance.

"However, the navy's supply of crystals is limited, so we can't distribute them endlessly. If you wish to enter again, please bring your own crystal."

He gave a bitter chuckle, shaking his head.

"But once you get inside, you probably won't want to go back often. It's exhausting even just to clear it once. The ruins are connected to the sea, so monsters show up as well."

"So there are battles too."

"That's correct. Even so, it's worth the risk. You may recover valuable resources or fallen warriors' equipment inside. Ownership of anything discovered goes to the explorers who braved the dangers."

His explanation allowed everyone to get a sense of what the ruin actually was.

"Oh, so it's essentially like a daily dungeon."

― Yeah, that's exactly what I thought too

― If you need paid currency for extra entries, it's obvious, lol

― Can't pass up a resource farm!

― Wow, they even designed this like a gacha so it connects to the story, too

― Probably because the capsule game was converted into a mobile game, lol

― This way you get more immersed, lol

It was a common form of content in mobile games, so everyone accepted quickly. Meanwhile, the commander finished his explanation.

"No one knows what might happen, so please be thoroughly prepared. That's all."

With a salute, the commander returned toward the base. Lee Gyeongbok clapped his hands to refocus the viewers' attention.

"Alright, it looks like we have to clear this at least once to progress the story."

"If only players can go in, wouldn't it be better to buy more equipment beforehand?"

Park Juho asked, and Lee Gyeongbok rolled his eyes, but his decision was quick.

"Nah, can't we just go in as is? If we go back and forth, it'll take too long."

His casual answer made the viewers laugh.

― Instant Purple confidence ON!

― Ah LOL even basic gear is enough

― Godple doesn't depend on equipment anyway, lol

― Doesn't he only have a cutlass and a musket?

― At least Persecutor has a bulletproof vest, so it should be fine LOL

Park Juho didn't press further.

"Fine, if you're confident, then I have no complaints."

"Alright. Let's jump in right away!"

The two stepped through the entrance. On the wide elevator, there was a slot for the crystal.

Once Lee Gyeongbok inserted the crystal, a choice appeared before his eyes.

[Upper Levels (Easy)]

[Lower Levels (Normal)]

[Deep Levels (Hard)]

The ruin's difficulty was determined by depth. Without a moment's hesitation, Lee Gyeongbok selected 'Deep Levels'.

"Wait, hold on—"

-?

-???: What just happened?

― WA! You know 'Terribly Soda'!?

― How's this fit the Purple viewer's age group?

― LMAO at least pretend to think about it

While Park Juho and the viewers wondered, Lee Gyeongbok paid no mind.

"The harder, the better the rewards, right? And since you can only go in once, you have to grab everything you can."

"Well, that's true... Fine, that's you, alright."

Park Juho didn't argue.

The heavy 'thud' of the elevator marked the descent's start.

― Fast acceptance from Persecutor, lol

― This is how you keep your mental strength in check!

― The life of a corporate drone?

― Clearing the highest difficulty with basic gear, that's only natural, right?

― Persecutor's hardship ON!

― Can PerParrot survive!?

― This turns into the manager's survival content?

― Godple will take care of it, lol

― It doesn't matter as long as it's not meeeeeee!

The viewers were nothing but entertained by what they were watching.

* * *

As the elevator descended, a guide about the ruins appeared before their eyes.

"Hmm, regardless of difficulty, the format is the same. There are a total of 10 doors in the corridor; you can check up to 5 of them, and each triggers an event."

Park Juho gave a simple summary.

"Up to 5?"

"Yeah, you don't have to open them all. Players are free to stop partway and return."

"So, you can decide after seeing the results each time whether to keep going."

Viewers quickly understood from their conversation.

― You have to get your money's worth since reentry costs premium currency, lol

― Yeah, you need to get all 5 every time!

― With Godple's luck, this should be easy, lol

― This is basically a gacha, I'm telling you

As the chat filled with anticipation, the elevator slowed to a stop. When the doors opened, a dim corridor was revealed. The soft blue glow barely illuminated the outlines of objects.

"I guess we'll need to take this as our light source."

Calmly, Park Juho pointed to the crystal slotted into the elevator. Lee Gyeongbok agreed.

"Yeah, you can carry that."

"If you're taking the lead... well, never mind."

He was about to add more, but instead took the crystal and watched Lee Gyeongbok stride ahead.

Meanwhile, Lee Gyeongbok stopped in front of the first door.

'This one's a dud.'

With just his divine energy, he sensed what was inside. Even if the events were random, the types didn't change in real time.

But instead of immediately moving on, he pressed his body to the door and closed his eyes.

Park Juho and the viewers wondered what he was doing.

"Looks like there are Deep Ones inside."

"... What?"

They could only put up question marks at his words.

― What? How did he figure it out?

― Can you see through the crack?

― LMAO as if that's possible

― If he's using Perfect Eye, maybe it's plausible?

― How's he doing that!?

― Is there some kind of hint?

Under pressure from the chat, Lee Gyeongbok elaborated.

"If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of fins moving. Plus, you have to focus, but there's a faint smell of seawater."

Though that didn't lessen the surprise. If anything, the viewers became more bewildered, and Park Juho added:

"Wait, if you're on mobile interface, you get a hint as text, right?"

"Oh, so there is a hint?"

Lee Gyeongbok quickly brought up the mobile interface.

[You smell seawater from inside the door. Perhaps seawater is leaking in from somewhere.]

The viewers saw the hint and burst out laughing.

― LOL got chills, that's so accurate

― LMAO Godple's explanation is better than the system itself!

― Godple stands atop the system, as it should be!

― Ah, this must be Perfect Sense

― Don't trust the system! Trust Godple!

― How did he even hear the sounds, lol

― Guess being dark makes your other senses sharper, lol

Park Juho let out a shallow breath and nodded.

"Do as you see fit. I'll do as I'm told."

"Let's skip this one for now."

Checking the door again, Lee Gyeongbok proceeded down the hall and soon pointed at another door.

"I think it's a good idea to open this one."

Park Juho nodded, then frowned in confusion.

"Wait, this hint is the same as with the first room."

"Yeah, it is. There's a Deep One inside."

Lee Gyeongbok answered, bringing up the hint for the viewers just as Park Juho said—the contents were the same.

-?????

-5252, did you just get bloodthirsty for no reason!?

― Is this a new Conqueror?

― Unmotivated violence descends upon the Deep Ones!

― Sorry, humansㅠㅠㅠㅠ

As the viewers were baffled, Lee Gyeongbok gave a wry laugh and waved his hand.

"That's not it. Hey, give me the crystal for a sec."

"Oh, here."

Taking the crystal, Lee Gyeongbok pressed his thumb to its surface and rubbed it. It made a squeaky noise against his skin.

"It sounds slightly different when I do it by hand, but I heard a similar sound from inside."

Most didn't get what he meant right away, but veterans caught on.

― This is a crystal farming room, isn't it?

― Wow LOL he can tell just from that?

― Info) In the ruins, there are rare rooms where you can obtain crystals

― Amazing, it's really luck-based for Godple

― He lucks out with physical skill, I'm telling you

As crystals have many uses, the developers had to ensure spending and non-spending players had sources to get more. The ruin was one such source. But obtaining crystals wasn't easy.

― If what Godple says is right, there should be a lot of Deep Ones here?

― Honestly, this guy's fine, but Persecutor might be in danger, lol

― Ah LOL Godple will handle it all himself!

― PerParrot: Planning my exit based on big data

― Yeah, in fact, letting him bail is probably more helpful

Laughing at the chat, Lee Gyeongbok handed the crystal back to Park Juho and drew his weapons.

"Ready?"

"Okay."

Their exchange was brief. As soon as Park Juho responded, Lee Gyeongbok hit the door's open switch.

With a hiss, five Deep Ones burst out.

"They look more detailed up close."

But both were ready and didn't panic. Lee Gyeongbok instantly took one down with his musket and slashed down two more rushing in with his cutlass.

― Instant cut!

― Insane reaction speed, wow

― Immediate kill, lol

― What about the manager?

― Is that 2:1?

― Did he survive?

Viewers weren't just delighted—they worried whether Park Juho could handle two Deep Ones on his own. Sensing the concern, Lee Gyeongbok added:

"I don't know why everyone is so worried."

He glanced at the flickering crystal light and continued:

"I may tease my friend, but I wouldn't leave him in danger."

At first, viewers were confused, but soon understood his point when they saw a shadow collapse in the blue glow. Park Juho stood with his cutlass held high in front.

― Oh?

― What the?

― Persecutor fights better than expected?

― He's quicker than he looks?

― This is what it means to be black company staff?

Park Juho wasn't as fast or sharp as Lee Gyeongbok, but he calmly blocked the attack and struck back.

"Just because you're a good student doesn't mean you're unathletic. That's just a cliché."

Cheerfully, Lee Gyeongbok crossed his arms as if there was no need to help.

― Wow LOL Persecutor even worked out a bit, it seems

― Haha, no wonder his build looked decent!

― Guess you have to be at least this good to be Godple's friend!

― Is this a Perfect Friend?

― Friendship standards are way too high!

Park Juho wasn't the type to just 'study' well.

"He used to hang out plenty."

He was the kind of friend who also 'studied' well.
