章節 5: To The Boss
The conditions for this so-called Prolog to be completed are by destroying the eggs before they hatch, or defeating the BOSS when it hatches.
Even people who had never played a video game would know that defeating the BOSS before it hatched would be easier.
Then the commotion started getting louder and louder. The people at the subway station are confused about how to finish this chapter.
Clyde looked around. This is what happens when there is no or someone to rely on.
But he also doesn't want to be relied on. Even though Clyde knew that he could be the strongest person here, he knew that being strong and having a leadership spirit to lead desperate people were two different things.
"You want to destroy the egg alone?" Asked Asqa next to him.
Clyde turned. "We have no other choice."
Asqa wants to say something. But she pursed her lips again as if canceling the intention to say that.
Clyde was someone he just met. Even though Asqa feels safe around him, they are not friends.
Asqa doesn't know what Clyde is thinking and what could possibly offend him.
"Don't worry. I won't leave you," said Clyde.
Asqa didn't know why Clyde did that. Why would he go to the trouble of protecting her?
But Asqa chose not to say anything as she too was relieved. This was an opportunity she had to take to survive.
Even though others weren't as lucky as her, what could she do?
Asqa tried to avert her eyes from the confused and frightened people.
"Excuse me, I hope I'm not disturbing you guys."
Suddenly a girl walked up to them with a friendly smile. She was wearing a black leather jacket and jeans.
There was also a black liquid on her clothes. She must also have struggled to live to this point.
"Can I help you?" Clyde asked.
"I was thinking maybe we could work together. This whole thing must be hard to do just the two of you, right?" The girl said.
Clyde looked at her with a furrowed brow. Why did this girl suddenly approach them?
Asqa looked at Clyde as if asking him for an answer.
"You want to be our ally?" Clyde asked. Straight to the point.
"Ah, of course," said the girl. "My name is Sonya. Nice to meet you."
[ Inspection (Lv.3) is activated! ]
Clyde used Inspection on her.

<<==================>>
Clyde was quite impressed. As soon as he saw the Attribute Window, Clyde knew that this girl had pretty good abilities.
In addition, she has also been able to put her weapons into the Inventory.
That meant that she must have quite an understanding of this Attribute Window system.
Clyde felt that having a useful ally would be advantageous. He wouldn't trust her. But he can use her ability.
"You can join."
Hearing that, Sonya looked happy.
"Thank you. I hope we can work well together!" Sonya said.
Sonya immediately spoke to Asqa. She seemed to be trying to get close to Asqa.
Meanwhile, Clyde just turned his head and stared blankly at the crowd.
Thinking about what he could do with this addition of his new ally.
Every now and then Sonya saw Clyde. 'He seems a bit unapproachable.'
"Wait." Clyde suddenly said. "The clear condition only says that if the BOSS is defeated, then the Prolog will be over, right?"
"Yeah, but not necessarily. People who participate and people who don't participate, you think that would be the same?" Sonya said.
"You're right," Clyde replied. "Let's go."
The three of them walked up the subway.
Clyde immediately explains that Asqa can't fight and has the ability of a Healer. So the two of them had to protect her.
Sonya of course nodded in agreement.
[ YOU HAVE LEFT THE CHECKPOINT AREA. ]
Crowds of monsters started to rush at them as soon as they got out of the subway.
Sonya picked up the bow from her Inventory while Clyde drew his sword. The two of them pierced through the crowd.
"We have to run," said Clyde.
Sonya and Asqa nodded. They ran through the crowd of monsters.
Sonya killed monsters easily enough so Clyde felt that his decision was right.
Along the way, Clyde and Sonya also Level up several times due to the number and ease of their killing monsters.
Only Asqa hasn't Leveled up because she didn't kill a single monster.
They finally arrived at Rosario Junction. The black egg stood upright surrounded by hundreds of giant ant monsters.
"We go there!" Clyde who saw another Checkpoint pointed them in there.
A checkpoint is provided when they want to face the BOSS. Clyde thought that this world was getting closer to a game.
[ YOU HAVE ENTERED THE CHECKPOINT AREA. ]
This area is a convenience store that leads to the junction. So they can see the egg easily.
When they entered the convenience store, there was a strange vending machine inside.
Instead of selling food, the vending machine sells something else.
[ SKILL PURCHASING MACHINE. ]
Clyde immediately walked over to the vending machine. Asqa and Sonya follow him.
On the transparent glass, instead of looking at snacks, Clyde can see a list of available Skills by price.
There were no warnings about the Skills they could or couldn't choose, so it seemed the players could choose freely. For now.
"You have the coin to buy skills?" Ask Sonya.
"Yes. I have some coins," replied Clyde.
"What are you going to buy?"
Clyde remembered that the monster had a fire weakness. So Clyde immediately bought a Skill that he thought would be useful.
[ "Put your hand on the coin holder to buy skill. Make sure you have enough coins." ]
As soon as he heard those words, Clyde put his hands together.
*Trriiiingg!*
[ "Skill 'Burning Hand' purchased. 1,000 coins used." ]
Sonya's eyes widened. "You have 1,000 coins?!"
"Yes."
A silver tube came out and Clyde opened it.
Orange-colored light shot out and entered Clyde's body.
"I still have a few coins left. What do you want?" Clyde asked.
Sonya's eyes widened with a gleam of happiness. She didn't expect Clyde to offer it.
"Are you sure?"
Clyde nodded. "Make sure the Skills you buy are useful. And don't go for the expensive ones."
Sonya smiled and nodded. Then she immediately chose a Skill that she had been aiming for.
