Chapter 1

Ultimate Bounty Hunter...

This adventure game is currently the most played worldwide.

And it's still going strong...

For over 6 years now...

"UBH? Ahah, no one comes close to me in this game!

That man you hear talking and Su Phil...

In 2 years, he's managed to become the strongest player.

But what everyone is looking for when they play this game is the chance to discover the treasure at the end!

No one has yet achieved this.

Can I do it?

No, because in this game, I'm just a noob!

"Well... This time I've reached the 7th path!"

My name is Jomei Hiroya!

I'm 35 years old, and I work as a computer technician at a university. A very mundane job.

I took my hands off the keyboard and let out a sigh filled with all kinds of emotions.

"After all, this game isn't that good."

I'd never seen the end of the game for myself. But as there were many streams on this one, I was able to discover the final boss.

But I was making good progress, repeating many times what I had to do to succeed.

I started playing at the age of 29, then stopped at 32.

"I've been at this for 3 years now..."

A voice echoed in my head...

Do you want to stop now?

I immediately shook my head.

"No! Of course not! I'm not giving up after so much effort, I've got to think of the reward!"

I got up from my chair, grabbed my coat and left to catch the transport.

"I'll continue after work, I also need to watch the MUNJE video."

MUNJE this mysterious player is the only one to have made it all the way to the treasure... Or so he claims.

During these 6 years, I haven't really done much with my life. I'm still single and have no children...

On my way to work, I like to read the messages on the game forum. It allows me to discover new methods that can put useful.

Jynlyn: So you agree to the alliance?

The Owls: I've already said yes!

Gamer25: An alliance? Which way?

Jynlyn: Ahah that's irrelevant, you have to be on path 9.

The Owls: Yes, we've discovered that there's a bonus.

Gamer25: Tell me please?

Jynlyn: Noobs don't need this info ahaha

Gamer25: You're overdoing it... I'm not that lame... TrojanHorse exists Ahah

The Owls: It's true, a person like that does exist.

Jynlyn: You'd think there'd be a bigger loser than that, wouldn't you?

The Owls: Anyway... I guess some people are just born weak. He must not have an impressive life either.

I could see their mocking comment, but it doesn't matter to me now.

It's as if this world is governed by the level we had in UBH.

You're either strong and respected by everyone, or you're rubbish and looked down on by the whole world.

Either you're strong and respected by everyone, or you're rubbish and looked down upon by others.

"Why work like that? After all, it's just a game."

That's what I thought at first...

That it was just a game...

But I had no idea what was going to happen!
