Chapter: 60

Chapter Title: Park Jun-chang's Survival Game

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I was stunned by one item in the list that popped up in front of me.

It was an amateur indie game that Jun-chang— the guy who'd just called me—had made back in his first year of college.

It was a typical 2D RPG Maker game, but seeing a game made by my friend on the list felt incredibly surreal.

"Whoa... that's wild..."

Something about it pulled at me.

For starters, I'd acted as a tester for that game, so I knew everything about the endings and all the details.

'A RPG Maker game made by my friend... It must've shown up back when I was picking my first trial too, right? But there were so many options back then...'

I hadn't even known RPG Maker games existed until Jun-chang showed it to me.

I had no clue there was such a genre, but he'd asked me to help test it, so I did.

At first, it was insanely difficult by my standards, so the creator, Jun-chang, had to dial down the difficulty multiple times.

'I told him I'd do it because testing sounded fun at first, but as it dragged on, it got fucking annoying and boring. Just endless grind loops.'

Still, my old friend was burning with passion about wanting to be a game programmer, so I'd buckled down and tested it seriously for him.

'Even the stories adults made up... I knew about it since it showed up in the list when picking my first trial, but damn, as long as there's some narrative, it all ends up in the selection menu.'

Seeing a work made by the friend I'd just talked to on the phone pop up on the list was mind-blowing.

This game wasn't like the other famous or well-known ones on the selection list.

It was just a college assignment RPG Maker game that never even got properly released to the world.

Honestly speaking, the story was fucking weird, the twists were idiotic, and it wasn't even that fun.

'...But the female characters in it—they're all based on the hot girls from our high school days, aged up to 20-year-old college freshmen...'

It hit me that I could see people from my real life reimagined virtually inside the Tower.

A strong hunch told me I might even get to fuck the girls I'd crushed on back in high school, but as 20-year-old college freshmen versions.

To check out what the trial would be and what rewards I'd get if I picked this one, I examined it closely.

Some entries only showed the trial without rewards,

but weirdly, this one revealed even the hidden trials to me completely.

'What's the criteria here?'

The other ones gave super basic trial info,

but Jun-chang's game laid out all the hidden trials.

I decided to check out some other trials first.

This alone was enough to make my head spin, but there was even worse shit below.

"Are you fucking insane? What the hell is this? ...Damn, this is peak trash drama level, shit..."

It looked like a completely batshit crazy trial.

I remembered catching a glimpse of it while channel surfing on TV once...

Yeah, total affair trash drama vibes...

'Is this the level of Korean dramas? Is that the "perfect completion" ending? Do women want that kind of conclusion?'

If my memory was right, it got a ton of backlash for the ending.

But dramas usually cater to their main viewers' tastes, so that ending must've been...

The primary audience for that drama apparently wanted a cuck husband who forgives his wife after her "romance," raises a kid that's not his, and hints at more "romance" ahead in a trashy finale...

"This is that whole 'adultery if others do it, romance if it's me' bullshit, right?"

It was a trial that made me wanna puke.

I looked at another one.

"This one's fucking simple too. That's it?"

"Oh, this one. It was a pretty famous smut story."

This smut was unique because it unfolded from the women's perspectives.

The presumed male protagonist had the ability to possess women's pussies.

So he'd toy with them however he wanted.

Like, the female lead's in a college lecture when suddenly her pussy goes into heat and floods with juices...

Or she's working cafe part-time and gets so horny she moans sluttily in front of customers and squirts...

Anyway, it's about female protagonists suffering pussy possession attacks from a guy playing with their pussies, their humiliations depicted in detail.

If the women keep getting pussy possessed, their lives fall apart, so... they end up yielding to the true protagonist's persuasion and threats, getting raped.

Honestly, it got me hard, so I'd jerked off to it.

"But fuck. Why do I have to become a woman? What a rip-off."

If this trial had been from a male perspective, I'd have picked it right away,

but since it was about getting humiliated as a woman, I passed hard.

'All active physical attack skills prohibited?'

But I didn't have any active physical attack skills anyway?

This penalty had nothing to do with me.

'But the rewards are insane? Ten passive skills?

The Survival Skills Lv.1 Set means all ten skills, right?

System. Show me the perfect completion conditions and hidden trial conditions too.'

'Whoa, what the hell is all this? Why are the rewards so stacked?

True Ultimate Salvation? That sounds like a fucking cheat skill.

Hey, System. If I designate myself as the target,

does it auto-activate if I'm about to die?'

'Holy shit, that's basically a spare life. Damn, I have to pick this trial no matter what.

Hey. Does healing status effects include curing aging?'
