Kim Min-Ho is a veteran player in the game of rules of Seoul. One time he received a message while playing the game. Kim Min-Ho received a message that he had the opportunity to obtain an achievement that no other player had ever obtained even by ranking first in the game of rules of Seoul. Kim Min-Ho who is obsessed with being the best in the game of rule of Seoul then without thinking twice decides to accept the challenge. As soon as he accepted the challenge that appeared from his game message, his surroundings suddenly darkened. Kim Min-Ho then woke up in a house that was foreign to him, as a result of accepting the challenge Kim Min-Ho was then sent to the game of rule of Seoul.Kim Min-Ho was then asked to be a character named Taehyun in Guglielmo, who is the son of a well-known mobster in South Korea. Kim Min-Ho must play the role of the son of a famous mafia in South Korea and become a student at the Hero Academy in Seoul City.
Kim Min-Ho entered this game with a different mindset. He was fascinated by the realistic graphics and the incredible freedom offered by this game. Despite the chaos within it, it only made people more intrigued.
Kim Min-Ho had been playing Rule of Seoul for almost five years, and he couldn't forget the experiences that had influenced his life during that time.
"Welcome to the Rule of Seoul."
The striking effects as usual marked the beginning of the game. One characteristic of this game was that if a character died, it would be permanently deleted. Therefore, every round had to be played carefully.
Although it was difficult to survive, many people managed to endure in this game for a long time. One of them was a character named "Kim Min-Ho."
"Survival Time: 1,652 days, 7 hours."
This middle-aged character held a cane in the character's window and bit on a cigar. Among the other characters that had been created and deleted, this character had survived the longest and became Kim Min-Ho's pride.
"At first, it was extremely difficult."
When Kim Min-Ho was still new to this game, his character was killed by the National Intelligence Service while playing the role of an antagonist. He tried to join the Hero Academy to build school drama but ended up being a loner and dropping out. When he finally reached the strongest position as the president of the hero association, his character was killed.
There were many moments when Kim Min-Ho felt like destroying his computer, but he restrained himself by thinking about his bank balance. Holding the top position in this game, where many veterans had quit, gave him an incredible sense of achievement, so he didn't give up.
"All right... I'll see the end today."
Kim Min-Ho's only desired goal now was to reach the top rank in the world. This game was essentially a single-player game, so there was a ranking system based on achievements, and currently, there was only one person above him.
"Rank 1: ImDOG."
ImDOG was only slightly ahead of Kim Min-Ho with one achievement. In this game, even achieving rank three had an achievement level of only 74%. Kim Min-Ho and ImDOG's current achievements were 99.8%. However, because ImDOG reached that number first, he remained at rank one.
Coincidentally, there was one hidden achievement remaining for both Kim Min-Ho and Demonic Stany.
[??]
This achievement had no clues on how to achieve it. If Demonic Stany, who was at rank one, couldn't succeed, it was undoubtedly an extraordinary achievement.
Today, Kim Min-Ho promised himself that he would reach 0.2% of any achievement that happened. He had tried hundreds, even thousands of things to achieve this.
Becoming a hero admired by everyone. Turning the entire city into a ghost town. Taking over the police station while being naked. Killing the president with a cotton ball... The list was very long. It was madness.
However, today Kim Min-Ho challenged himself after finding a clue.
[Demonic Stany: I watched your YouTube video, and you've done everything to become ranked one, but you'll never achieve the remaining achievement. Give up.]
That was the message Kim Min-Ho received from him yesterday. ImDOG was the current rank one player. After reading the message, Kim Min-Ho asked ImDOG if he knew how to achieve that achievement, and ImDOG replied with a nonchalant answer.
[Demonic Stany: Can you live as yourself, using your own nickname? Haha, I don't think you'll ever achieve it.]
"What do you mean?" Kim Min-Ho was surprised by his message, but he replied.
Kim Min-Ho entered the game as promised by the mysterious person. Not long after taking his first steps in the game, a tremendous explosion shook the room, accompanied by a mysterious message that appeared in a dazzling display on the screen.
"A hidden achievement is revealed!" echoed the message in the silent room.
"The details of this achievement will be unveiled through a challenge. However, you are only given one chance to attempt this challenge. If you fail, this opportunity will never come again. This achievement is meant for a soul capable of attaining it. Do you want to face this challenge?" the message tempted and challenged.
Kim Min-Ho nodded his head with burning curiosity. He pondered the meaning of the message carefully.
"Hey, an achievement that can only be possessed by one person?" he whispered to himself. That's why there were no previous clues, and only one interpretation was embedded in this message. Someone previously occupying the top rank had tried and failed to attain it. In the end, this meant that if Kim Min-Ho succeeded, he could reclaim that pinnacle.
"Although a man cannot satisfy hunger with words, he can survive!" whispered Kim Min-Ho with unwavering confidence. Without hesitation, he pressed the "Y" button.
However, Kim Min-Ho suddenly lost consciousness at that moment, as if his body was engulfed by darkness.
******
Amidst the confusion and chaos that ensued, Kim Min-Ho tried to gather his thoughts. He sensed something strange around him, awake in a room vastly different from his usual bedroom. While attempting to make sense of this perplexing situation, a knocking sound at the door broke the silence.
"Has Young Master awakened?" a gentle voice came from outside the room.
The question only added to Kim Min-Ho's confusion. He felt like he had heard that voice before, but what was happening? In a hazy state, the sound of footsteps receded, leaving Kim Min-Ho with a growing sense of questions.
"What is actually happening here?" he murmured.
Kim Min-Ho's gaze fell upon a computer situated on one side of the room. In an effort to find answers, he approached it and powered up the device. On the desktop, there were three folders and a trash bin, giving off a retro vibe.
One folder was named "Rule Of Seoul," which seemed bothersome, but there was a familiar phrase, "Rule Of Seoul." Kim Min-Ho felt that this had something to do with the mysterious situation he was facing, so he quickly clicked on the folder.
Inside, there were game icons he recognized and a Notepad file titled 'Must Read.' Kim Min-Ho opened it with mixed feelings.
"To those who have played Rule Of Seoul early on, as closed beta players, thank you! You are currently in 'New Seoul,' which serves as the backdrop for Rule Of Seoul, also known as NS, this city. This service is exclusively available to one player who has achieved the highest achievement among closed beta players, and it allows you to experience Rule Of Seoul firsthand. The game can only be closed upon reaching the end. Please note that [GAME OVER] does not signify the end of the game. We hope you enjoy playing! ※ This interface is provided as a special benefit! You can check the game interface through your electronic device."
"They're truly insane..." Kim Min-Ho muttered in confusion.
As he cursed like that, the Rule Of Seoul game automatically started running on the computer.
[Rule Of Seoul]
[Loading...]
[Synchronization complete. Welcome to the world, Player Kim Min Ho.]
Suddenly, a character window appeared on the screen, displaying a character Kim Min-Ho had never seen before.
[Name: Taehyun Di Guglielmo]
[Gender: Male]
[Description: Half-blood from Durante Di Guglielmo, an Italian father, and Hwang Ji Eun, a Korean mother. He is the heir of the Black Hawk mafia organization.]
"What... is this?" Kim Min-Ho asked, bewildered.
"Taehyun Di Guglielmo?" Kim Min-Ho read the name with uncertainty.
Suddenly, his own face appeared on the black screen, further confusing him. In the midst of the overwhelming confusion, Kim Min-Ho quickly glanced at his own face through the mirror in the room and realized what was happening.
"Haha... Is that me? That... guy?"
The face on the computer and the face in the mirror looked alike. Of course, Kim Min-Ho had never created such a character before. Everything became increasingly chaotic and unexpected.
"All of this is so confusing," Kim Min-Ho muttered.
Suddenly, unknowingly, he found himself entering the body of the character Taehyun Di Guglielmo, a character in the game.
