"That person who's been trending on the internet?"

"Yes, that person!"

"I heard that he had been playing Survival Life for a long time?"

"It's not just a long time. The Internet said it was 4,000 hours." Mikyung whispered to me as she leaned her upper body towards me as if she was telling me about a closely guarded secret.

However, unfortunately for her, she was completely off the mark. My mouth was itching to tell her that by the time the game was terminated, my playtime was 5,541 hours. I could hold it in, though, albeit barely.

Then, she shoved her smartphone at me.

"I was really surprised to see this."

"What is it?"

An absurd passage appeared on the screen of her phone.

―If in the past, you and I Love Gimbap has 10 points, now he would've had more than 20.

―One day, an ogre came to I Love Gimbap. After three days of intense battle, the ogre died.

―I Love Gimbap's level is ∞, and this is only an approximation of his strength.

Well... To be honest, I've read articles like these several times. It was a nonsensical article which was created because of the fact that all stagnant waters could easily defeat any zombie and monsters.

Let's put a surprised expression on, a surprised expression!

"Wow, that's great! Even if it's a joke, it means that person had played the game very well."

"Uh? Was this a joke...?" Mikyung panicked and covered her mouth with her hand.

"..."

Did she really believe that it was real? What an innocent girl.

"I also have heard a bit about it. But I think that person said it was not real. It just blew up like this because of the fact the stagnant waters were so good at playing the game." I briefly explained to her.

Mikyung's face turned red in real time and she suddenly said she coughed, "Kuuhum. I wonder why that person wasn't active on the internet..."

"Beats me." Well, to be honest, it was because 'that person' had an ability which was difficult to tell to others. If my unique skill wasn't for opening a portal, but combat related stuff, I would have written a post to look for the other stagnant waters without hesitation. However, since my unique skill could only be used by me, there's no reason for me to do so.

Anyway...

In apocalyptic words, being a pushover would be synonymous to death. It's only in the game that I wouldn't really die so I could still have fun while doing crazy things, but in reality things would be different.

When my expression became serious, Mikyung looked at me while scooping her tteokbokki. She then spoke out of nowhere which I perceived as her trying to change the mood.

"By the way, Ahjussi. I turned that offer down."

"Are you talking about the offer you get from the tow truck driver?"

"Yes, that one. The things Ahjussi said last time to me was one of the reasons...but this one was what made me decide it was for the best."

She fiddled through her smartphone with her thumb for several seconds before a slightly high-pitched male voice came out.
