Reader & The Masked Villain [ORV X RIM]

Chapter 1

It was chaos

'What happened? What the hell? '

If I recall, it was like this.

I got an unfamiliar Kaka*talk message on my phone.

-Do you want to join the game?-

I thought it was a game invitation from a friend, and I just clicked the button without thinking about it.

That was it.

That was the only thing I could remember.

My legs were trembling. I couldn't comprehend the situation.

Suddenly, someone tapped my shoulder from behind.

I looked back and there was a child wearing a white robe smiling at me innocently.

"Hyung, are you okay? Want some candy? "

The child handed me a lollipop and I took it out of reflex.

A lemon candy.

"Ah, thank you. "

The child smiled again as if didn't care of all the fuss everyone made.

"Aren't you terrified? " I ask out of curiosity.

"Isn't this just like a horror movie? " He said with those relaxing smile on his lips.

I shrug. Seeing the child so calm made a part of me calmed down as well.

'Well maybe it is the privilege of a child. '

'It's not a dream.'

I reminded myself again

It wasn't a dream, and I wasn't alone.

Then a sound rang in the cave.

[Players are invited to this world. We sent an invitation to the player, and the player accepted it. You were chosen as a hero to save the dying continent.]

"Chosen.... " The child rambled with a small voice.

[But not everyone can head to the continent. The only people eligible to go are those few who passed the tutorial.]

[Please pay attention to what I say next. It's directly related to your survival.]

I suddenly sobered up.

Because in this weird atmosphere, I heard the word "survival".

[Let me repeat that. Only those who survive this tutorial will be allowed to go to the continent.]

"It is just the same.... " The child muttered again, but now his expression darken. As if recalling some bad memories.

"Are you okay? " I am not really fond of a child, but there is something in this child that made me want to care for him.

The child looked up to me and the dark expression gone as fast as the wind.

"I am okay, hyung. You don't need to worry."

"If you say so..... "

[You are the chosen players. You came here with different personalities and from different places. This place will make your characteristics stronger and help you grow. You'll understand what I'm talking about if you say status window.]

For now, I didn't say "status window".

"Status window. " The child said with anticipated eyes. It is almost as if star emerged from his eyes.
