[A Historic Virtual Reality Game Emerges!?]
[The Spectacular Arrival of God of Savior!]
The first real virtual reality game.
God of Savior, which emerged with the title of the first virtual reality game, made a sensational debut from the beginning.
The news that the game, which was considered a joke, had actually been released spread, and various gaming communities were in an uproar.
“???”
“Wait, was it real?”
“Is it really a virtual reality game?”
The impact was significant.
From gamers who enjoyed VR games to PC gamers, and even to the general public who had no interest in games.
Everyone heard the news of God of Savior.
It was inevitable.
“VR is virtual reality. Why are people so amazed? It’s not the first time VR has been introduced.”
“Is VR really virtual reality? To be honest, it’s quite modest. The third generation is somewhat better, but the second generation is just better off being called 4D.”
“I heard someone tested the device. Is it really a virtual reality game as described in the novel?”
“Wow, the device is not a helmet, but a capsule. Is it really a real virtual reality game?”
Unlike the VR games released so far, it was labeled as a real virtual reality game.
It had to attract attention, whether in a positive or negative way.
“But can it be developed with the current technology?”
“Is it just an upgraded version of the third generation?”
Even the game company’s response was fast.
Even before such doubts could grow, they invested money and recruited additional testers, who proved that it was indeed a real virtual reality game.
[An unforgettable experience… It was another world and a different reality.]
[It was ecstatic. The same liveliness as reality, advanced artificial intelligence like humans, and beautiful scenery of another world… It surpasses all the VR games that have been released so far.]
[I am on borrowed time. I am grateful for being able to experience this game before I leave this world. The only regret is that I would have left this world around the time the game was released.]
While some criticized it, most people praised it.
Some were moved to tears, and even shared their sad stories, arousing more curiosity.
“Oh, how amazing is it?”
“Wow, I know that person. He’s a well-known person in the UK, and I’ve never seen him so moved.”
“It was his last gift before he passed away.”
Not only the general public but also celebrities joined the test, which added to the credibility.
In no time, people’s doubts vanished, and anticipation took its place.
A truly immersive virtual reality game had appeared, and the whole world, not just Korea, eagerly awaited its official release.
However, not everyone had such hopeful eyes.
“Virtual reality games are the descent of Satan.”
“Virtual reality games cause death!”
“Can we trust the stability of an unprecedented virtual reality game?”
“The capsule device instead of a helmet… There is not enough data on its impact on the human body…”
These were people who had consistently viewed games as a temptation of the devil since the era of PC games.
As an unprecedented game of this scale appeared, various groups opposing the game started to rise, including experts.
Unlike the third-generation helmet-type devices that had gone through extensive data collection, the newly released capsule-type device was considered to have insufficient data.
The momentum of those who had cheered also wavered a bit in the face of such opinions. The concerns raised by experts were quite valid, so it was inevitable.
“Playing a virtual reality game could lead to death. Experts say it could cause an overload in the brain.”
“Experts say there is not enough data yet?”
“I don’t know. An expert said that. I want to observe it because it’s worrying.”
Rumors spread, and soon the saying that playing God of Savior could lead to death became widespread.
-God of Savior
That’s why, when God of Savior was officially opened, everyone hesitated.
The expensive capsule device, which was several times more expensive than the helmet-type device, and the high game price also played a role.
However, there were still people with an adventurous spirit.
“Hello, everyone! Are you all excited about the recent release of God of Savior? It’s called a game of death, a new brainwashing device, and I will personally play it and provide a review!”
“Who wants to try God of Savior? But it’s worrisome, so I understand~. That’s why I, Jinjinja, will play it and ask for your support with subscriptions and likes!”
It was the NewTubers and streamers.
They never missed an opportunity for content, especially one like this.
That was just the beginning.
“Yes, I logged into the game. So far, nothing special. Let’s go to the village… Whoa…”
“Is this… a game? Seriously? Is this virtual?”
“No, are you kidding me? The sensation of the wind passing by is so vivid.”
Through personal broadcasts, the overwhelming immersion of God of Savior spread to the whole world, capturing people’s hearts.
It was beyond the quality of any VR game released before. The more vivid sense of artificial intelligence and sensations that surpassed humans.
Kraaaaah!
“Wow! The intensity is unbelievable.”
With the addition of intense combat scenes with monsters that seemed to attack right in front of you, people could not help but be captivated.
“God of Savior feels so real.”
People no longer hesitated to play the game, despite the concerns.
Safety issues? Dying while playing the game?
“That’s bullshitt. I’m perfectly fine.”
“Holy sh*t! It’s just a scheme by idiots trying to bring them down. Look at me. I’m perfectly fine!”
“This is better than real life. I’m off to play the game. Take care.”
At this point, playing the game was the smart choice, or even foolish not to.
And in reality, there were no incidents or abnormalities reported by those who connected to the game.
Zero occurrence of side effects.
It was an unprecedented statistic, even compared to the third-generation VR, and the experts who strongly opposed it were proven wrong and cast aside.
People poured into the game like a tidal wave, releasing all their suppressed desires.
Simultaneous global connections of 300 million players.
1 billion users playing the game.
God of Savior was no longer just a game.
From media like movies and dramas to sports like soccer and martial arts, and even celebrities like singers.
Every industry was engulfed in virtual reality.
It was possible because of the high freedom and diversity of God of Savior.
It truly was another world.
However, the highlight of MMORPGs was undoubtedly battles.
Videos of massive guild battles were the most popular and generated the highest revenue.
And among the heroes on that stage, many were revealed to be former top players of ‘Demrock’.
“Is the Execution Guild’s leader “executioner” really from Demrock?”
“Word has it that there are numerous high-ranking individuals from Demrock within the top 10,000.”
“Even that executioner wasn’t the number one from Demrock.”
“Huh? Then who on earth was the number one?”
And naturally, that curiosity only led towards Demrock’s high-rankers.
A wall that not even the executioner could surpass…
A legendary figure who, after achieving the top rank, has never once yielded their position.
-Kaiser
The moment that person’s name was revealed, countless people began to search for Kaiser.
It had to be that way..
Not only because people were curious about the identity of the one who surpassed the executioner, but also because God of savior was, in the end, a successor to Demrok.
It wasn’t for nothing that the Demrok old-timers are occupying the high-ranking positions in Godose.
So, what about the overwhelmingly top-ranked man?
-Kaiser? He’s a god.
-It’s not just a simple expression; he truly is a god. He’s never been defeated.
-The skill tree which he created was an innovation in itself. He’s considered the creator of the meta.
-Any crap that goes through Kaiser’s hands becomes brighter than anything else.
-15-player raid? To Kaiser, it’s just a mini-boss.
-I guarantee you, if the executioner stands before Kaiser, he wouldn’t last a minute.
“~ wait a minute? What… It’s the 10-second cut,” With only his left hand.
-“What kind of name is ‘executioner’? He was one of the strongest even in the Demrok days, but that’s a bit of an exaggeration, I think.”
-“True, the executioner is quite exceptional. Haven’t they officially gone one-on-one before?”
-“Unbelievable. How dare you doubt a god!”
-Tsk, aah…
As they witnessed Demrok users treating Kaiser like a god, their curiosity only grew.
It was because every achievement seemed so extraordinary that it made one wonder if it was exaggerated.
“How good could he possibly fight?”
“Well, can’t you see any of his movements?”
With such questions, they naturally searched for videos featuring Kaiser and were all astonished.
“More precise control than machines, a combination chart of numerous skills, and overwhelmingly, if not violently, impressive combat videos could only captivate people.
“What’s Kaiser doing right now?”
“Why hasn’t he started Godose?”
“Kaiser, I want to see his play in the virtual reality game! Oh, that’s already a form of art. Watching his battles inspires me.”
“Find Kaiser!”
It was only natural that people were searching for Kaiser.
Kaiser.
This name instantly dyed every community and real-time search engine green.
Even foreigners were looking for Kaiser, for that matter.
But, ironically, Kaiser never appeared.”
One month passed.
Two months passed.
And even beyond six months, until it had been a year.
“Isn’t Kaiser dead by now?”
“Kaiser? Ah, the former Demrock top player?”
“I’m curious about him starting the game… Well, what’s important now? It’s been over a year. Even if he starts now, he’ll just be a follower.”
“Maybe. Actually, he might have started already but couldn’t make it into the top ranks, so he’s hiding.”
“Hey, the execution guild raid is about to start. Everyone, get ready with your links.”
People no longer searched for any news about Kaiser.
Some occasionally missed him, but there were more people focused on the current rulers of God of Savior.
And as time passed, about two years… precisely, one year and six months.
[Breaking News] Execution guild successfully completes the legendary raid boss Avatar Tel Raid!
-Wow, look at the level of destruction… It’s flying all over the place.
-It’s legendary… Isn’t the executioner the strongest when it comes to personal achievements?
-Well, no, the executioner has good star power, but the Thousand Realms Guild is really strong. It’s not called thousand realm for nothing.
“The top 10 guilds are amazing, but to be honest I really like Empress. She moves alone like a fierce wolf. She’s truly a one-person army, isn’t she?”
“- Well… if you’re an Empress, even the top 10 guilds cannot do anything.”
No one searched for Kaiser in God of Savior anymore. He had been forgotten.
There were too many charismatic and awe-inspiring leaders to remember the past heroes.
He had become a forgotten figure from the past.
And as everyone began to forget…
“At ease! Sergeant Kang Dohyun! the order to discharge as of April 11, 2023! Received”
In the office of the 51st Infantry Division.
A young man, Kang Dohyun, who now had slightly grown hair, was saluting.
The corners of his mouth were subtly raised.
Kang Dohyun, 23 years old.
It had been a year and six months since he joined the military.
And it had also been a year and six months since the release of the virtual reality game, God of Savior.
Finally, Kaiser, as he took off his military uniform and returned to civilian status, was the moment it all happened.
