Suddenly, a truck rushed over.

A burst of glare!

Ji-woo's body flew into the air.

A vertigo similar to falling from the sky without a parachute overwhelmed him. His whole body was screaming and feeling pain, as if his entire body was being torn apart. His family's gaze has become so far away ...

"Ahh Damn it

Ji-woo loses consciousness.

When he woke up, the first thing he saw was his little sisters.

"Big brother!"

They burst into tears.

"Oh. ”

He was about to ask them why they were crying, but he didn't open his mouth well.

"Do you know me?" asked Yura.

"Whew. ”

"Of course I do. You are my little sister

"Big brother!" Mina said anxiously.

"Mina. ”

When they heard him say, "Mina", they were ecstatic and hugged him.

"You're finally awake, big brother. ”

"It's a real relief. Seriously, it's a relief. ”

He was miraculously resurrected.

A week passed.

He is still bedridden, but he doesn't have any communication problems.

Until now.

"What did you say?" asked Ji-woo.

"You've been in a coma for two years," the doctor said.

"Excuse me?"

Ji-woo couldn't believe it.

"It's not true ... Right?" asked Ji-woo, looking at his sister.

"Please tell me it's not true!" his eyes seemed to cry.

His sister grabbed his hand.

"Big Brother ......"

"It doesn't matter. You're finally awake. ”

They clasped his hand and said.

However, their comfort did not affect him at all.

"2 years?"

Not for two days, two weeks, or even two months. Two whole years!

Ji-woo just stared at the ceiling. He was completely unacceptable.

“...“

But because his little sisters were by his side, holding his hand, Ji-woo barely got over his shock.

"What's wrong with me?" he asked, wondering why he had been in a coma for so long.

"You got hit by a truck," Yura said.

"A truck?"

At one point, she said "a truck" and Ji-woo recalled a photo.

A white truck pulls onto the pavement, the lights of the car make him dizzy, and his body freezes in panic!

And "light"!

"Ahh

"Big brother!"

"Are you alright?"

His sisters rushed over, but he raised his hand to signal that he was okay.

"What about the driver?" asked Ji-woo, his face pale.

"They said he was dead. "Right there," Yura replied.

"Apparently, he fell asleep at the wheel," Mina added.

"What about compensation?"

Ji-woo is curious about compensation. He was in a coma for two years.

“...“

Yura and Mina shut up.

"Didn't you hear?" asked Ji-woo.

“...“

The two refused to answer. For fear of irritating him, then Ji-woo may go into shock again.

But based on their reactions, Ji-woo can tell what's going on.

"We didn't get proper compensation for the accident! So, let me look at the hospital bills.

"How much debt do we owe?" asked Ji-woo.

Since they were not properly compensated, they must have borrowed a sum of money to pay for his medical bills.

"We'll tell you next time ... You also need to rest," Yura said.

She sounded like she cared about him.

"Very well, tell me," Ji-woo whispered as softly as he could.

It's a sign that says, 'I'm fine, just tell me.'" ’

Mina said in place of Yura, "I'm not sure, but we sold the house. ”。

"You sold the house!?" Ji-woo's face immediately distorted.

"You know how much that house is worth!"

When he was in the third grade of middle school, Ji-woo lost his father in an accident. They lost the breadwinner, so things got tougher and harder.

So, Ji-woo gave up his studies and decided to become a professional gamer to make money.

All the best.

He used to be the best in Warlords, the top virtual reality game of the last 5 years.

He is referred to in the game as the "Human Dragon". Because he is strong, people compare his skill level to that of a dragon.

Because of this, he made a fortune by selling expensive items and in-game currency.

He borrowed a lot of loans, but he managed to buy a two-story house.

He wanted them to live in that house safely!

But because he had such a chance accident, the house had come to naught.

"Ha," Ji-woo sighed deeply in frustration.

Then he saw his little sisters looking at him.

"Yura, you're in your senior year, aren't you?" Ji-woo forced a smile and changed the subject.

If he keeps lifting the house, the atmosphere will go bad.

"Yes. Yura knew what he was doing and nodded.

"It must have been hard to take care of me while studying. I'm really sorry about that.

"You don't have to apologize!"

His apology only made her eyes water, which also choked him up.

"I'm sorry too, Mina. His voice changed.

"It's okay, since you're okay. Mina's eyes turned red, too.

"Don't cry, stupid," Jieyu said to Mina.

"Alas. "Your eyes are red too, big brother," Mina said, pointing to his eyes.

"I'm just tired," Ji-woo bluffed so as not to appear weak in front of them.

"Yes, yes. Mina nodded exaggeratedly.

"I'm serious!" Ji-woo insisted.

"Of course, of course!"

He was clearly unable to convince them.

"A person can only cry three times. When they were born, when their parents died, and—" Before he could finish, Mina interjected.

"Now. Mina smiled, even though her eyes filled with tears.

"Yes, now. Ji-woo also laughed.

"They said you shouldn't cry and then started smiling..."

"Who cares!"

Ji-woo thinks he's really lucky to be with his sisters.

He lay in bed for two years.

His body obviously doesn't move like it used to, so he needs physiotherapy.

Physical therapy is difficult and progresses slowly. The pain continues.

"One more time!" said the physical therapist.

Ji-woo grabbed the railing and took a step.

"Ahh

His face was distorted. As soon as he moved, his body screamed.

Despite this, Ji-woo silently continued his physiotherapy.

Day after day.

"If I can walk today, I can run tomorrow!"

Ji-woo gritted his teeth and concentrated on physical therapy. As a result, he was discharged from the hospital early.

"You can be discharged from the hospital now. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

Ji-woo and his sisters took a taxi to their new residence.

He got out of the cab and the sisters on both sides supported him. Then they took him to their new home.

"That's all. Jura pointed to the staircase that led to the underground.

An unpleasant scent seeped into his nose.

"Hmm. ”

He was a little expected, but it was very different from the two-story house they used to live in.

First of all, it's underground!

Their current residences are mostly underground compared to their former sunny houses. Not only that, but they can't see the sun because the windows are so small.

So it's damp and dark.

There are cobwebs everywhere and it's clear that this place is full of cockroaches.

There are only two rooms, but if there are three or four people lying down, they will be crowded. The wallpaper is worn out and yellowed.

The bathroom was also obviously small and smelled damp. The washing machine took up at least half of the room, not to mention the bathtub.

In short: it's the worst.

"Do you pay monthly?"

"Yes. ”

How can you collect rent for this thing!? They even have to pay rent every month.

"Damn!" Ji-woo cursed inwardly. But because his sisters were with him, he didn't say it out loud.

"How do you divide the rooms?"

"Mina shared a room with her mom and I had my own room. So you can stay with me," Yura said.

"It doesn't matter. I'll just sleep in the living room. ”

Yura is a high school student. She needs to have a room of her own.

He was a man, and he could sleep in the living room with a blanket wrapped underneath him.

It's also better for him, and he can search for information because the computer is in the living room.

"But..."

"Yes, we are brothers and sisters, but it was uncomfortable for both of us. Well, that's it. Where's my goggles?"

"Here. Mina brought his virtual reality game goggles.

"If I need something, I'll tell you, so do what you need to do. ”

"Okay. ”

As soon as his sisters arrived at their room, Ji-woo lay in the living room and put on his goggles.

Then, he turned on the switch.

Luckily, the goggles worked fine.

Enter the virtual world!

A white hallway appeared in front of him.

There is a single room inside. This is a gateway to the world of warlords.

However, the door was sealed with a wooden plank and a piece of paper was attached to the door.

Thank you very much for liking Warlords.

Since the average player base is less than 100, we have decided to discontinue the service.

[Dream Gate, Warlord Team]

"What kind of bullshit is this!"

It's only been 2 years, but the virtual reality game that has been at the top of the popularity list for 5 years in a row has gone out of business!?

"What about my characters!?my stuff!?my money!"

In the warehouse of Ji-woo, who is known as the most powerful figure among the warlords, nothing remains.

"Damn, I've lost such a big source of income!"

Is this what it feels like when your stock is no longer valuable?

"Ahh ”

Ji-woo grabbed him by the back of the neck and passed out.

'Why!'

As soon as he woke up, he reassessed his situation.

How did the warlord go bankrupt!? He couldn't believe it.

So, he searched the Internet for answers, and soon figured out the reason for the failure.

"Als..."

Warlords are no longer the most popular game. It's sunk.

But after the Dream Gate, the creators of the warlords released a new game, Arth, which has become a hit.

"God must have created this game. ”

Wilson Jacob, a game critic known for not praising games often, said so.

Als!

That's the great thing about the game.

Even compared to other virtual reality games, its design is excellent, and it is considered very interesting in comparison.

A masterpiece!

Immortal works!

A virtual reality game deserves all these titles.

It's been over a year since it was released, but people all over the world are going crazy about it.

The NPCs of Ars are all celebrities, and they can put a price on good things.

And that's not all!

Some employees even threw resignation letters in the face of their bosses! School has opened, but classrooms are empty! Children will pretend to be sick and skip school!

It's all so that they can play Arth.

It was the real Ars era.

"I thought about such a good game when I wasn't there. "Ji-woo feels like a gold digger.

"Als. It's a money-making thing."

It will come to the money faster than the warlord, if he succeeds.

"Neither our debts nor our houses will be a problem. Our lives will change. ”

As a professional gamer, he felt his blood start to boil.

However, Zhiyu did not install Ars immediately. It's too early now.

At least for now ...

The clock points to 12 o'clock.

His mother had returned, her shoulders bruised and her steps heavy.

"Welcome back. "Ji-woo has been waiting for his mother.

"Ji-woo!"

As soon as she saw him, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mom. ”

Ji Woo choked up when he saw his mother getting old in 2 years.

They hugged for a while and ended up going to the living room.

"Mom, how is the family?"

"You're worrying me. You have to worry about yourself first. ”

"I'm finally back, don't put everything on yourself. ”

Ji-woo grabbed his mother's hand.

His mother's hands were so rough that they were unrecognizable. He could feel how much she had been through in the last two years.

"But you still have to worry about yourself first......"

"Please. ”

"Oh, that's good. I'll tell you everything. ”

She began to tell him what had happened so far and what their situation was like.

His mother heard from a doctor that patients might wake up from a coma if they were treated with medication capsules.

However, it is an expensive treatment that can cost millions for a single treatment.

Despite this, his mother worked hard so that her son would be able to receive 2 years of treatment.

Eventually, they were forced to sell their house and accumulated more than 50 million in debt. Fortunately, they owe not a bank debt, not a private loan.

"Capsule treatment... So that's why my physiotherapy progresses so fast. ”

The medical pod maintains his muscles and organs so that they are not in a dangerous state. Because of this, his physiotherapy didn't take much time.

Ji-woo thanked his mother again because she had done everything she could to make sure he received the capsule treatment.

"Trust me. "I'm going to make a lot of money from now on. He looked eagerly at his mother and said confidently.

When he actually starts playing Ars, he will be able to amass a lot of money.

After all, Ji-woo is confident that he is better than anyone else when it comes to virtual reality games.

"Worry about money later. You have to worry about yourself first. ”

Of course, his mom worries more about his health than about money.

"Okay. ”

"Good. ”

His mother returned to her room, and Ji-woo lay in the living room and began to think.

Ever since he lost his father in the third year of secondary school, he has been the breadwinner for his family.

Therefore, it is his responsibility to provide for his family.

"Is that right, Daddy?"

If he can, he'll provide it right away.

But...

"With this ghostly body ... Whether it's taking responsibility or making money, there's nothing I can do. ”

Muscles, he's just skinny now!

This is clear proof that he is not healthy.

"I have to train myself first. ”

Things are in order!

If he wants to be a professional gamer again, then he must first focus on his health.

Of course, Ji-woo's primary goal is to accumulate wealth through Ars and turn his life around.

But now, he had to worry about himself.

He needs to get back to the top!
