Chapter 270 Secret Friend’s Dignity
Shouen Empire’s imperial family and clandestine plans being made among the aristocrats.
However, they were not only happening between certain empires and kingdoms.
[They’re from another continent… I’m a bit reluctant.]
[To think there’s another person in this land who calls himself the emperor of the empire. It’s arrogant.]
[Now is not the time to fight each other inside the continent. You have to look outside.]
Eight continents suddenly merged without even knowing each other.
Therefore, unlike adventurers, NPCs who were born and lived here but did not know about its existence showed stronger fear and repulsion than curiosity about the unknown existence.
Especially in the case of nobles who already had enormous wealth and powerful power.
That’s why Ellis, who was contemplating what was happening all over the continent of Arcadia, which is as huge as the Earth, made a decision.
Sooner or later, the story of a huge narrative that will confuse the entire continent will begin.
[Continent unification main scenario.]
[Act. 1 Era of Anarchy.]
“So what do you want me to do for you?”
Lee Mi-yeon asked to meet up out of the blue and sent a call to come to a secluded and deserted cafe. Although he was taken aback by her sudden contact, Jaeyoung made an even more absurd expression at her request.
“Please stop the main scenario.”
There are many quests that exist in Arcadia.
This quest, which is created, deleted, and changed in real time, was divided into several grades depending on the scale.
Village – City – Territory – Country – Continent.
Quests at a level that causes profound changes in a small village, a city, a manor, or even an entire country or continent.
From simple errands to continental wars that stake the fate of entire nations.
However, among these various quests, few were given the name of a main scenario.
[Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Begins.]
[Act. 2 Witch Hunt.]
[Act. 3 New Continent.]
[Act. Four Continental Wars.]
A huge narrative that goes beyond one country and brings about changes and influences the entire continent. Jaeyoung asked with a bewildered look at her words to stop the main scenario taking place on a stage so huge that only the highest level of difficulty and an individual could not bear to do anything about it.
“I’m not asking you to solve the main scenario… you want me to stop it?”
A strange request for the president of a game company to come out and ask for a secret meeting. So Jaeyoung tilted his head and asked.
“I don’t know what the situation is… but can’t we just delete or block the main scenario? I don’t know why you came to me and asked me this.”
President of Arcadia Co., Ltd. who has full authority over operation and service. Jae-young thought that with her authority and strength, she could achieve what she wanted, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled bitterly at his question.
“If that was the case, I wouldn’t have come to Jaeyoung in the first place.”
“What is that…”
“Arcadia Co., Ltd. is responsible for the overall operation of the game called Arcadia, but does not have full authority over the development.”
“yes….?”
Game companies without development rights.
It seemed like an unimaginably absurd story, but Jaeyoung put on a serious expression as he looked back at the events of the past that suddenly passed through his head.
“Come to think of it…something was strange.”
The countless atrocities committed by Jaeyoung.
If it was a normal game company, there were many things that were so absurd and excessive that it would not be strange to cut it right away or wield the mace of a permanent ban, but strangely, this company did not impose any sanctions on Jae-young. No, on the contrary, I was anxious to coax him out somehow.
[Let’s cooperate with each other. Jaeyoung is in the game and I am in reality.]
Jaeyoung recalled that she had reached out to each other to become secret friends. And finally, with a serious face, he asked her.
“Then, is Arcadia really unable to interfere in the game in any way?”
When asked if there was any way to intervene in the situation in the game, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a slightly ambiguous expression.
“Um… I can’t tell you everything, but I’ll tell you this.”
“It would be possible for top developers, but they say they have neither the will nor the interest to do so.”
Jack, the creator of Arcadia and one of its top developers.
Alice, an artificial intelligence that observes, analyzes, and manages everything in Arcadia.
The genius boy Kim Min-soo, who is the creator of Phalaenopsis Dream and the Sixth Sense Project, created it all.
Since no one with the authority to access the game had any particular awareness or concern about what was happening inside, there was no particular way to do anything about it, even in the position of President Lee Mi-yeon.
“No… what the hell is going on in the game?”
Jae-young, who has been concentrating on living in the present life by focusing on college and department classes. That’s why I connected occasionally, but I was really peacefully enjoying the game without doing anything special, so President Lee Mi-yeon’s words were all the more out of the blue.
“Hmm… I guess I should start by hearing the answer to my request.”
President Lee Mi-yeon takes out a rather heavy wad of paper from the bag.
At her words, Jaeyoung asked.
“Is this a problem that I can handle?”
“I don’t know. But one thing is certain.”
“If it’s a problem that Jaeyoung can’t do anything about, no one will probably be able to stop it.”
In the game, users boasting that they are a hidden class and a high-level top ranker, create guilds, and fight fiercely for power. However, in President Lee Mi-yeon’s eyes, compared to the young college student sitting in front of her right now, they were literally inferior to a candle in front of the sun.
“It’s just that there is no concept of level, so it doesn’t exist in the rankings. It’s because Jaeyoung-gun is overwhelmingly superior among billions of users without losing any of combat power, influence, wealth, or fame.”
He accumulates tremendous probability, uses it in a timely manner appropriate to the situation, and extracts maximum efficiency. President Lee Mi-yeon was convinced that if Jae-young, whose job title was a wanderer in troubled times brought about numerous incidents without shame, the main scenario created this time would somehow come up with a solution.
“Well… I don’t know what the hell you’re asking me to do so far, but I get it. A promise is a promise, so I will do my best.”
Jae-young, who will try to keep the bilateral contractual relationship that mutually helps each other. At his words, President Lee Mi-yeon handed over the wad of paper she was holding in her hand and started talking.
“After the recent continental unification, strange signs have been detected simultaneously on all continents. Information about the existence of the World Tree, other continents and the various countries that exist there is spreading rapidly through adventurers.”
Jaeyoung is reading dozens of pages of the report with serious eyes. His eyes widened when he saw the title of the main scenario written on the confidential document while listening to CEO Lee Mi-yeon’s commentary.
[Continent unification main scenario.]
[Act. 1 Era of Anarchy.]
“Wow….. is this real?”
The first continental unification main scenario.
The occurrence of a super-large scenario affecting all 8 continents… in other words, all of Arcadia and billions of users.
It seemed incredibly interesting, but after checking the details, Jae-young could understand why President Lee Mi-yeon wanted to prevent this scenario.
“Certainly… a scenario like this would be premature.”
anarchy.
The situation of each continent, which was in a strange balance with the empire of mighty power and fierce and tense checks under them. But that delicately tuned equilibrium collapsed in an instant.
Due to the emergence of huge continents beyond imagination that we never knew about.
“That’s why I’m trying to ask Jaeyoung-gun like this. If this huge chaos, which was expected to happen at least 10 years later, happens now, there will probably be an enormous conflict between users on each continent, and if that happens, the situation will become more complicated.”
People who have just started interacting with other users around the world.
Fantastic Universe and the World’s First Fighting Tournament were held so hard to open a place of harmony between each other, so President Lee Mi-yeon wanted to prevent this main scenario, which would be a seed of turmoil, if possible.
“First of all… I know what you mean. Considering the lifespan of the game, it would be better if such a large-scale scenario comes out a little later.”
Jaeyoung agrees that this is not the time yet. Deciding to participate in this work, he asked CEO Lee Mi-yeon.
“Then what exactly do you want me to do?”
Jaeyoung asks for specific directions. To him, President Lee Mi-yeon put some photos on the coffee table and said.
“Currently, it is assumed that the triggering event for the main scenario of this chaos will be the Shoen Empire’s invasion of the Gael Federation, which borders the Shoen Empire. It has not yet been confirmed with certainty, but if that happens, the war will spread beyond the two countries to the entire Korean and Japanese continents… and to the entire unified continent of Arcadia.”
Korean continent and Japanese continent. and mainland China.
The Gael Federation, where these three continents meet exquisitely.
Convinced that this place would become a huge powder keg of Arcadia in the future, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said to Jae-young with a determined look.
“Please protect the Gael Federation. And, by any chance, if the Shouen Empire starts a war… please end that war as quickly as possible.”
A request that seemed too far-fetched for an individual user to do. However, in Jae-young’s head, various measures to realize President Lee Mi-yeon’s words began to emerge.
“Ummm… Can I just do that?”
“yes. No matter what happens, you must never let the influence of the Shouen Empire dominate the Gael Federation.”
“That’s… maybe it’s because of the reaction of Korean users, right?”
“I can’t deny that.”
“No, why the hell did they put Japan and China side by side even if they unified the continent? Anyone looking at this would see it as just telling them to fight each other.”
Korea Japan China.
The continent of Pangea, where the continents that the users of these three countries are playing on are attached to each other.
Looking at it, Jaeyoung grumbled as if he couldn’t understand it at all, but he nodded his head and agreed.
“Anyway… I get it. Even if it’s a bit annoying, I’ll try to prevent the worst situation somehow.”
Jae-Young is already good at inciting war and cheating.
It would be possible to wipe out the troops of the Shouen Empire alone by using the spirit, but even if it wasn’t, I didn’t think it would be too difficult because there were human resources available.
‘If things don’t go well, I can ask the fucking perverts for a favor.’
Of course, it was terrifying to imagine how much more filthy and disgraceful he would lie down with. After hearing the answer she wanted, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said with a satisfied smile.
“thank you. After all, making a deal with Jaeyoung before wasn’t a wrong choice.”
Unlike the whining and whining employees who say they don’t have authority, she joined hands with Jae-yeong, who can exert influence on Arcadia by stepping out first. However, there was something that CEO Lee Mi-yeon overlooked.
“ah. But I have a question.”
“yes. something?”
“if…. If you don’t like it, can I wipe out the Shouen Empire itself?”
“…..”
“That level doesn’t cross the line, is it just fine?”
The fact that the concept of a certain degree of goodness that Jaeyoung thinks of herself goes well beyond the category that ordinary people think.
