Berwin: "...."

Raised his eyebrows, then raised his eyebrows even higher. Berwin felt this mission was very insulting to him.

What do you mean I'm not the protagonist? everyone is a protagonist in their own life!

Clicked his tongue in disdain, yet still reluctantly smiled, as the prize offered was quite tempting. Berwin put away the data panel, and he started exploring the surrounding area.

First of all, he needs light to illuminate dark areas.

Looking in the dark continuously, could make one's head explode with dizziness.

"This blue light, where did it come from?"

Tracing the walls of the hallway area using his right hand. Berwin hit several dead ends several times, and he could finally see a blue colored light, which grew stronger and stronger.

Dispelling the darkness, and finally being able to see his surroundings very dimly. Berwin attracted by the flow of stagnant water, which formed a very long water passage.

There seemed to be something shining in the dirty water which made the entire gutter give off a bluish glow. Take a look at the surface of the water. Berwin shrugged his shoulders, and he immediately dipped his hand, intending to take the object.

"Damn it!?"

Quickly pull his right hand. Berwin take a long slimy black object, with pale blue streaks, that appeared around the surface of it skin.

"Vampire leech?! How do they have light? Besides, it's huge!"

Seeing the vampire leech that had thousands of sharp teeth, bit his rotten flesh so hard, it pierced through the bones. Berwin waved his hand right, but the vampire leech still hadn't come off.

"A very strong tooth bite."

Squeezing the glowing vampire leech out with his left hand. Berwin pulled at it with all his might, and the vampire leech finally let go, with the rotting flesh on his body coming off as well.

"This bite is probably stronger than a crocodile bite. Besides, if this vampire leech can suck blood, no one will be able to live!"

Glancing at the glowing vampire leech that continued to wriggle in his left hand. Berwin became disgusted, and he threw it away immediately.

Fell to the dirty floor with a muddy sound. The glowing vampire leech turned, and it approached Berwin once again slowly.

"So tough?"

Seeing this vampire leech did not give up on preying on him. Berwin was silent for a moment, before he had a very strange idea, flash through his mind.

"This is a bit disgusting."

Dipped his right hand into the water, and raised dozens of glowing vampire leeches, like fishing. Berwin who saw that his right hand had many leeches, somehow felt like a legendary cthulhu.

"Forget it, time to see the monster."

Walked back to where he had come from, using the light hanging from his right hand. Berwin took a few minutes to return, and he was surprised by the figure of a very large animal.

"White bear?!! How can be... wait a minute, is anyone else there?"

Surprised, saw a giant white bear that had blood all over its body, and made a snuggle position. Berwin looked into the midst of the bears, and he saw a little girl, who had her eyes tightly closed.

....

Berwin: "You won't believe what I found. I found a little girl with bear ears!"

Joker: "Well, good hoax mate. I wish we had a dragon girl at home too."

Moe-Kyun: "I don't care if this is real or not. I just want to believe it."

Spade01: "Did you get a hallucinogen in the tunnel? Where exactly is it? I want to feel it too!"

Sherlock Vatican: "Maybe it's a new NPC? Can you explain it in more detail?"

Vinhui: "Meh, where is the bear-eared girl in the post-apocalypse world. Unless she was a runaway laboratory specimen, or this was the wizarding world. I can't believe it at all!"

KittyATM: "No, I believe him. By the way, which medicinal plant did you eat? Are the hallucinations very strong? Let's share a private contact number."

....

Gritted his teeth in anger, upon seeing the players disbelief, and accused him of eating an item that could cause hallucinations. Berwin closed the forum in annoyance.

Glanced at the little girl who had white hair, and round ears protruding on top of her head, was curled up in the arms of the white bear. Berwin sighed.

"How could I kill a creature like this. From any angle, this bear is trying to protect the little girl."

Berwin didn't know how this ferocious bear could protect the little girl, without preying on her. But clearly, he had to say goodbye to one of his missions.

Although the reward he got was quite large, and even though this world was just a game. his heart is not strong enough to kill a good person.

This game too realistic.

Yeah, at least the bear protecting the little girl is a good person in his own eyes.

"Let's free the players first."

Turned around, and walked down the dark tunnel. Berwin went further and further, turning a few corners. And he saw the mutant rats, which were hiding behind the dark tunnel.

It seemed they were very afraid of the glowing vampire leech hanging from his hand. This could at least give Berwin peace of mind, and no need to run again to save his life.

Walk through the area that has the fewest mutant rat. Berwin, who was constantly twirling around the dark tunnel, suddenly feel he had a very dizzy head.

"Where is the way out? Why is everything the same? My head is so dizzy!"

He really hates puzzle games.

Bad game reviews!

Take a deep breath, and give up trying to find a way out. Berwin sat helplessly, and he pulled out the data panel, to connect to the forum server.

....

Berwin: "Guys, help me. I can't find a way out

(〒﹏〒)"

Sherlock Vatican: "Well, I won. Don't forget to send your merit points to me."

KittyATM: "You're just lucky. Be careful on the road at night you little brat."

Gooshbus: "I remember your nickname. be careful with your mother."

Master: "Man, that's too far."

Gooshbus: "Sorry dude."

Berwin: "...."

....

What are these players doing?
