Become a Black Screen in a Novel - Chapter 2
The lazy sun was shining brightly.
The golden light that slanted through the clear, transparent window tickled my cheeks like a wave, and it wasn’t until a moment later that I realized I was lying in a bed I didn’t know.
As his gaze slowly swam and followed the current of the air, the sensuous and sophisticated interior was clearly revealed under the bright sunlight. The analog clock on the wall indicated it was 9 am.
It was an ideally refreshing morning.
The first thing that surprised me when I opened my eyes was that when I stretched out, I didn’t even hear the crunching sound of bones.
Is it the feeling of being completely relaxed while bouncing around as if the whole body has become a soft cat? A state of exquisite balance of tension and relaxation. Needless to say, it is in the best condition.
As I wake up from walking on a thin single bed, a faint scent hits the tip of my nose. The spacious room was clean as if it were newly built, but it was never bleak.
Soft beds, spacious sofas, and luxurious glossy desks and chairs.
When I opened the furniture that looked like a closet, a few clothes that looked like a uniform were hung from somewhere, and the TV hung on the wall gave off a sense of life.
As I got closer to the desk on the wall next to the bed, I found some objects lying on it.
Unfamiliar electronic devices, a few sheets of paper, a small card, and a thin booklet, the words ‘Mouth News’ and ‘Device User Manual’ were printed in large sizes, respectively.
Looking at the electronic device, its shape reminded me of a smart pad at first glance. But it felt very soft and fluffy to the touch of my fingertips, and the incredibly thin thing felt like it was holding a piece of cloth.
Because the power was not turned on, the black screen turned transparent, reflecting the face of the boy looking at him as smooth as an obsidian mirror. As I swept my chin down, the reflected image, the boy swept down his chin in the same way.
I put down my electronics and picked up my card. The three letters of his name are clearly engraved next to his face, which he had seen reflected in the mirror, in small engravings.
Cadet Dan-hyeok Park, his surname is ‘Park’ because it’s a fairly common surname. Since it’s a minor role, it’s ‘Dan-hyeok, combining the two together to be Park Dan.
That is, my name.
‘System’
[Yes, participant. What kind of help do you need?]
‘No, that’s fine.
He shakes his head at the unfamiliar voice he hears in his ear and recognizes the situation again. ok, nothing more
I really have entered the fictional world.

[The purpose of this event is to experience the real world of the game. Therefore, the basic setting of the avatar starts with a freshman who is of the same generation as the protagonists, in the superhuman military academy theme, which is the main setting of the original story.
The avatar’s past, including initial identity, starting time, and abilities, can be freely changed or added by consuming CP (Character Points) during the creation stage]

Slowly check your memory.
The place where I woke up is the dormitory assigned by the theme, a personal space that I will use during my school life.
Themed cadets come from all over the world with various circumstances. Considering that, the dormitory itself was opened in advance, and Park Dan-hyuk arrived a few days ago and unpacked his luggage.
He is 17 years old and is a freshman who entered the academy this year. The grade is at the bottom, but considering the name of the theme, it’s not bad.
Age is 17. A freshman who entered the academy this year. The grade is at the bottom, but considering the name of the theme, it’s not bad.
This boy has no family. This is because they were caught in the runaway rift caused by the terror of the mine, and their relatives were annihilated and left as orphans with a rich inheritance.
It’s a tragic past, but it’s a fairly common occurrence in this world.
But, fortunately, he had the qualities of a superman, and today he was accepted into the world’s best superhuman training institution, which would have been a pull-up…
called set.
Of course, all of this background was inserted by me using CP. There is no human relationship. Property is there. It is rare to find a setting that is as easy to move as this.
It’s more convenient to have no family because it’s annoying, but if it’s set as a vulnerable class, it’s going to be troublesome. ‘Actually, I had a huge debt’ or ‘I was sponsored by someone’, etc are the specifications of the development.
When I found that item in the CP usage list, I burst into laughter without realizing it.
‘Ambient advantage: parent not present (0 CP),
Yes, this is a web novel.
I put down his cadet ID and sat down on the bed. When I flipped through the user manual and turned on the power of the electronic device, the soft structure quickly hardened and unfolded.
On the spacious screen, the word ‘Baekhwa’ appears and disappears with an unfamiliar logo, and the screen becomes completely bright with a clear sound.
This is a device, a state-of-the-art device created by magic engineering that has been refined to the limit, and it is an object that completely replaces a real smartphone in the work.
It is as thin as silk, yet very tough and durable enough to not even scratch
The screen can be enlarged or reduced with stretchable materials, can be bent or folded like paper, and can be hung in the air for portability.
Most tasks including video calls and the Internet can all be handled with one function.
Since the applications installed here are deeply linked with the course progress, they are essential for both daily life and study and are universal tools that are basically provided to cadets of the theme.
It is said that the size of the human brain has not changed much since prehistoric times. Today, there is a saying that just giving a smartphone to a newborn child will teach him how to use it in no time, handing a modern smartphone to a primitive man will be the same.
How much less do I already know a machine similar to this one? It would be strange to not be able to handle even the first thing you touch. But…
Wow…
It’s really floating in the air, crazy…
I really did get into the novel.
You can enjoy such a feeling in the strange parts, and check the information step by step by referring to the manual for the parts that get stuck in the middle.
Now, let’s see, the first thing to check is today’s date and the academic calendar, This is set in advance. In other words, the entrance ceremony… According to the original, is the day before the prologue part.
Time was running out, saving CP had nothing to do with it. If I had started as one of the main characters, I would have had more freedom in this area.

[Determine the role of the avatar before setting detailed settings.
Participants can use characters from the original or create an entirely new character. These choices fall into three categories: protagonist, assistant, and minor role.
▶ Protagonist: Choose the main character as your avatar. Although the initial CP amount and acquisition multiplier is high, the setting direction is limited, and intensive role-playing is required.
▶ Assistant: Choose a secondary character as your avatar. The total amount of initial CP and the acquisition multiplier are moderate, the setting direction is relatively free, and some role play is required.
▶ Minor role: Write a new character as your avatar. The total amount of initial CP and the acquisition multiplier are low, but the setting direction is free, and role-play is not required]

I had three options.
Even if the content is the same in the book, the atmosphere changes drastically depending on the details of the subject matter. In short, it is the difference between ‘I became a villain in a novel’ or ‘I became an extra in a novel’.
The conflict between the stability, the degree of freedom of customization, one’s comfort, and the scope of action. It is a matter deeply concerned with how to follow and destroy the original work.
The higher the initial weight, the more thoroughly the causality of the world is entangled.
It means exchanging outstanding talents, great families, and built-up relationships for pressure on performance, group discipline, and complicated relationships.
Other than that, the pattern that ‘I thought was an ordinary minor role, I found out, was also common.
Because I am from a different world, I will have contact with the characters that had been transferred from there. There is a part of being confined to a human testing laboratory and one of the heroines had annihilated her family…
The past and hidden settings that weave the protagonist into the story.
But from my point of view, it was all useless impurities.
There was also the possibility of starting right after birth and changing the original work from the past. It was also a genre, and it was clear that it wasn’t a bad choice, but…
After all, it’s just a change under limited initial conditions. I have no intention of wasting decades of building up needlessly.
It only takes one day.
“…after”
Check the geography around the dormitory and turn off the device screen. After checking the stage of the campaign, it’s time to take a look at the character sheet.
Opening your lips is a little strange. How many people have actually said ‘this word’ out loud in an alternate reality? To be honest, it’s not a joke, it’s a shame.
After a little hesitation, shaking my head for nothing, and sighing once more, I murmured. That magic word.
“Status window.”
Ah, my hands and feet.
Paah!

It was a screen that summarized and displayed a superman named Park Dan-hyuk in an easy-to-understand manner.
A characteristic, in the dictionary meaning, is a word that refers to a special property that exists only in certain things. However, in “Super Massacre”, this word has a special meaning as a kind of proper noun.
[Lava blood veins] with flames flowing all over the body, [Void leaping machine] that skips through space, [Avatar God] which indicates that you are a genius of violence, [Praise of idols] in which output increases according to the support of the god, [Near-death experience] that detects the threat of death. up to the [Spine of the world] that nullifies all shocks…
In other words, a flower that makes a superman a superman. A novel device that clearly expresses the personality of the craftsman, such as factors that determine the type and strength of the power to be dealt with.
In other words, it is a supernatural ability expressed in the name of power, talent, skill, or ability.
Therefore, if we analyze the performance of Park Dan-hyeok, the meaning is as follows.
It withstands pain well, has a quick recovery, has resistance to poisons and germs, and handles blood. In other words, a superhuman whose strength is primal vitality.
Its core characteristic is blood flow manipulation, so it can only handle one’s own blood so far, so it is only used for auxiliary purposes.
The background of freshman Dan-hyeok Park is the fact that he passed the theme because of his high evaluation.
Close your eyes and catch the warm sunlight on your back. Even now, I can feel the redness welling up under my skin.
Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing! An auditory hallucination as if hot lava was roaring through the ground.
Have you ever covered your ears with both palms? People often want to close their ear canals, but when they do, what comes to them is not the world of silence, but the strange rumbling sound of the ground.
The blood vessels of the human body are so detailed and complex that it can be said that they are all 120,000 kilometers wide and wrap around the earth three times. At this moment, my body became a continent and was pulsating with lava.
Whoa. Deep breathing.
Before anything else, let’s collect the heat from the body and let it spit out with the palm of your hand, blah! Life soared with the sound of flesh cracking. The bright crimson veins hardened in an instant and became a smooth butcher’s knife.
Quite a bit! As a test, I swung my wrist in the air, and I heard a creepy ripping sound.
‘One of the applications of [Blood flow manipulation (E)] was the creation of weapons.
I looked down at the blood sword held in my right hand.
There was no headache there. There was no awkwardness. There was no sense of alienation. It was as natural as sitting at the table and sipping coffee. But.
“……..Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…………………”
I felt like I was going to vomit because of the uncomfortable feeling that there was no discomfort.
The moment I entered this world, I understood that characteristic.
It may seem funny, but the feeling that stabbed my spine was a new fear.
What is Learning? There are many answers, but at least that’s what I think.
Learning is memory, reasoning, intuition, reading comprehension, associative power, flexibility, creativity… In other words, it is an action in which all areas of the mind are collectively involved, and a process of accepting another life as one’s own life.
What I know and can do determines how I behave. Therefore, it can be said that learning and realization constitute an individual’s identity.
If so, shouldn’t interfering here means touching your personality and subjectivity? It’s literally overwriting your brain!
It is proven that even completely unfamiliar knowledge, experiences, and abilities can be acquired in an instant by using CP. It naturally becomes a part of you.
Conversely, the system can insert a different me into me.
In other words… the memories that I took for granted, my way of thinking, and myself can all be infused in the creation.
How can you take this kind of thing casually? If possible, he’d either be an idiot who couldn’t get to this point, or a madman who couldn’t deal with it.
“…….. Haha”
But,
However,
Still, I forcibly raised the corners of my lips.
Existential horror? Identity concerns? It all came to an end when I decided to get into the novel.
It fell off the cliff a long time ago and is still falling. Now I have no choice but to spread my wings and cross the sky.
???? Release the crimson blade and put it back. After all, these are all just camouflage baits.
Now, I have to prepare my real character.
