Chapter 1: I have been possessed by the first mod I ever played for my favorite game

“Wow, this is really amazing!”

I raised my eyebrows at the excited voice of my childhood friend coming through my phone.

Here we go again.

I rubbed my tired eyes from the long gaming session and leaned back deeply in my chair.

“What’s up?”

I asked, stifling a yawn.

“Have you heard of Busty Murim mode?”

“Busty Murim? What the hell is that, you pervert?”

A snort came out involuntarily. This was already the fifth time.

The games this guy recommended as “amazing” were always disappointing.

They looked good on the surface, but they always fell short in the essential parts of the game.

“It’s a new mode for Wind and Cloud Murim, and it’s totally revolutionary, you pervert.”

Wind and Cloud Murim was my favorite game, and the original was a masterpiece, so I thought it would be at least decent, but the problem was the messenger, not the message.

He’s a pervert, but he’s a low-level pervert who only likes lewd things.

My level, a high-level pervert who pursues both lewdness and game quality, was different.

“Is it just another lewd mode?”

“No. This is a well-made masterpiece of an eroge!”

I raised my eyebrows again.

But the meaning was different.

A well-made masterpiece of an eroge? I can’t stand that.

In the end, I got hooked by those words.

“Send me the link.”

“No need to send it. It’s ranked #1 right now.”

My eyes widened as I entered the Wind and Cloud Murim’s mod forum.

The ‘Busty Murim’ mode that my friend mentioned was not only ranked #1 in downloads, but the number of downloads reached a whopping 380,000.

It was hard to believe that it had only been released a few days ago.

I moved the mouse cursor over the download button and clicked it immediately.

I couldn’t close my mouth at the number that appeared on the screen at that moment.

105GB? It’s twice as big as the original… There must be something special.

-Click.

After a moment of hesitation, I pressed the download button. While the progress bar was filling up, I skimmed through the mod description.

While the download progress bar slowly filled up, I turned my attention to the mod description.

‘Experience a completely new world of Wind and Cloud Murim, not just an adult content mode…’

With a mod of this size, I thought that my childhood friend’s exaggeration might be true for the first time.

While the download was in progress, I browsed the community site and clicked on eye-catching posts as they came.

In the case of busty characters, their inner energy is dozens of times greater than that of ordinary characters, so they can use Demonic Divine Art without restrictions.

All injuries can be instantly healed with the Yin-Yang Harmonious Method.

What was particularly noticeable was that there were overwhelmingly many opinions recommending playing male characters.

They said that female characters are easier, but the amount and quality of content are very different from male characters.

Feeling curious, I checked the mod settings again.

At first, I thought it was a mode focused on female characters, but I felt like I missed something.

I was a little bothered that I hadn’t properly read the massive 300kb settings file.

But there was no choice.

My eyes were tired and I was too lazy to read it all.

Anyone would do that.

Let’s read it when the mod is fun.

As time passed, the download progress bar was nearing the end.

I yawned loudly and got out of bed and stretched.

“It’s finally over.”

The installation process was surprisingly fast. When I ran the game, the character creation screen appeared immediately.

I chuckled when I saw that breast size was treated as a stat on the character creation screen. I didn’t intend to start with a female character, but for a moment

I enjoyed customizing them before choosing a male character.

The comments I saw on the bulletin board earlier kept lingering in my mind.

Male character play is the real deal? There’s a lot of content?

Then I have to play as a male character.

Of course, I was bothered by the story that it was a bit more difficult…

Who am I? Aren’t I a seasoned player?

With a smile on my face, I selected a scenario.

It was a scenario I had played hundreds of times, but it was always fun.

Starting as an elite from the beginning was something anyone could do.

Crawling up from the bottom.

Others call it hardship, but I enjoy the process.

I have long been addicted to the thrilling sense of accomplishment I feel with each step I take.

The difficulty was rather appropriate.

Starting with a low status may seem like a disadvantage, but it was different in the eyes of a master.

Not only were the initial stat points generous, but I also knew the locations of hidden treasures everywhere.

It was a scenario with quite a few hidden elements, so in some ways, it was even easier than a beginner scenario.

Since mods never delete fixed spawn elements, I will be able to use my vast knowledge in this mod as well.

“Huh? What is this?”

My eyes lit up as I looked at the trait selection window.

New traits that I hadn’t seen before caught my eye.

Drawn by curiosity, I looked at each of the newly added traits one by one.

There was no explanation of the traits separately. After thinking for a while, I chose a few traits such as ‘Yin-Yang Harmony Unification’ and ‘Heavenly Demon Bloodline’.

Since they were traits without descriptions, it could be an adventure, but the names alone were attractive enough.

Maybe they are the key elements of male character play.

“It’s a single player game anyway, right? If it fails, I can just start over.”

I laughed boldly and selected the traits.

Because I selected so many traits, I didn’t have enough ability points, but like a seasoned player, I completed the optimal distribution according to my own build.

When all the settings were finished, I took a deep breath and pressed the start game button.

“Huh?”

The monitor screen started to flicker strangely.

I wondered if my eyes were weird because I was tired, so I blinked a few times, but the screen distortion only got worse.

The moment I reached out to touch the monitor, the strange flickering began to spread beyond the screen and into the real world.

The desk, the walls, and even my hands shook like waves.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst from the monitor.

I reflexively raised my arm to cover my eyes, but at that moment, I felt like my body was floating.

My body became lighter and lighter as if gravity had disappeared.

The surrounding world shattered into pixels as if a digital screen was breaking.

At that moment, a loud noise rushed into my ears.

“The condition of the guys we brought in this time isn’t very good.”

“Well, we still have to get the right price.”

“This one looks pretty good, so give him an expensive price.”

Amidst the rough voices, I heard someone’s painful groan.

Along with the sound of clanging chains, I also heard the sound of someone wielding a whip.

“Hey! Get that guy to come to his senses!”

“Hey, the auction is about to start, so it’ll be difficult if we do this.”

Along with the sound of people’s footsteps, the smell of sweat and dust stung my nose.

Amidst the sounds that were becoming clearer and clearer, my consciousness was slowly sinking.

When I came to my senses, I was kneeling on the ground.

When I looked around, unfamiliar scenery filled my vision. My head was blank. I couldn’t even tell if I was awake or not.

But my eyes didn’t miss the increasingly clear scene.

The fatigue that had been making my head droop in front of the desk just a moment ago had disappeared without a trace.

Rather, it felt like all my senses were awake.

“What are you doing, standing there like a fool!”

I flinched at the rough shout.

Someone’s shadow was cast long over me.

It was a man with a rough impression.

His face was covered with a thick beard, and an old bakdo was hanging from his waist. As soon as I saw his face, the word ‘cattle thief’ came to mind.

“Who… are you?”

At my cautious question, the man poked the front of my head with his palm.

“Ouch…”

“This is Youngchil, the great hero of Heukgalbang. Is he still half asleep?”

Heukgalbang…

Surely Heukgalbang was the name of the sect that sold the main character at the auction house in the s*ave Master scenario?

An absurd thought flashed through my mind.

An impossible possibility.

But that was the only thing that could explain this situation.

“Ugh…”

I unconsciously brought my hand to my neck.

My body stiffened at the cold touch.

A rough chain was wrapped around my neck. When I felt around with my fingers, I felt a dull lump of metal.

It was an iron necklace that proved I was a s*ave. The one I had seen countless times in the game was now around my neck.

No, what the f*ck is this.

The situation, which had been unreal until just now, suddenly became vivid.

The cold touch of the metal was starkly awakening me to the situation I was in.

The metal was so tangible, heavy, and cold.

Was that why? I couldn’t come to my senses.

“I, I didn’t hit you that hard.”

Youngchil said something as if making an excuse. And…

“Youngchil, you idiot! How can you lay a hand on a valuable product!”

An angry middle-aged woman’s voice hit my ears. When I turned my head, I saw a woman who looked to be in her late forties standing there.

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately took action.

Her foot, which had rushed in like an arrow, struck Youngchil’s chest.

Youngchil’s huge body, which had been exuding an aura of intimidation like a bandit boss until just now, flew into the air like a wad of cotton.

His body flew almost one and a half jang and crashed into the opposite wall miserably.

“I, I’m sorry… leader…”

Youngchil slipped off the wall and whimpered like a beaten dog. The momentum he had been tormenting me with until just now had disappeared without a trace.

No, but more than that…

L, Leader?

A, a woman is the leader?

In Wind and Cloud Murim, there was no case where the leader of the black market, who wandered the streets and traded slaves, was created as a woman. At least not in the original game that I had played hundreds of times.

No, wait a minute.

A memory flashed through my mind…

Only then did I realize.

What I did last was not an ordinary Wind and Cloud Murim. This place I was sucked into was not the original version, but the mod version.

It was ‘Busty Murim’.
