Even in some places that I have personally visited and become familiar with. However, I’m not excited at all. “Beautiful and peaceful….” It’s an unbelievable statement. The nobles go hunting for amusement, and they lowered the tax rate in their territory to 70% (the existing tax rate was 90%), but then they send envoys from the neighboring territory and complain about why they collect less taxes without even mentioning it. How can this medieval land, which is so beautiful and peaceful, really be beautiful and peaceful? I continue to grumble or stay silent, but the video keeps playing. The video briefly explains the world that I had already investigated. Humanity had lost their homeland to monsters and different races that came from another dimension, and the Awakeners, who were born with special powers, also known as players, start their adventure for the hope of humanity. “It’s such a clichéd story. Even though it’s the top-grossing game, why does it feel so generic….” I chose my race as human, gender as male, and appearance as the default before logging into the world. And as soon as I logged into the world, a popup window appeared. ★☆Starter Package☆★ – Selling 6 swords and 4 sets package! ★☆Battle Pass☆★ – Overwhelming benefits for 55,000 won per month! ★☆Secret Material Event☆★ – Collect secret maps! Since it was a common occurrence in mobile games, I immediately clicked on the “Don’t show this again today” button and proceeded with the game. The starting point of the game is [Starting]. “So this is Dwelling Viscount Territory… Did it change its name after it went bankrupt?” Starting is a place in the bottom right corner of the checkerboard. From our territory, we have to move up two squares and to the right two squares to reach this location. So, it’s 400 kilometers away. “It’s a little closer as the crow flies….” But it’s better to move along the line, considering the steep mountain ranges that we’ll have to cross diagonally. It would be wiser to travel 500 kilometers instead if you think about the beasts and monsters in between. I took a moment to look around Starting. Dwelling Viscount Territory, which mainly focuses on fishing, was nothing more than a rural village except for the capital city where the dragon vein was located, but Starting was different. “It has developed so much….” I absurdly stared at the buildings that were 15 to 20 stories tall and the well-paved roads, which did not match this medieval land at all, and I caught sight of a player passing by. Kilianth: Excuse me, excuse me! Goddess Foot: Yes? Me? Kilianth: Yes, I’m sorry, but what are those buildings? This isn’t the medieval era, right? Goddess Foot: Ah, the buildings? Well, when the service first started ten years ago, people said it felt like a rural village here. Kilianth: Not anymore? Goddess Foot: There are players now, so of course not. Those are guild buildings. When your guild level exceeds level 5, the guild housing system opens, and you can buy buildings by using cash and guild points. Starting is a megacity that can be reached within five fingers from the Revenger, so it has developed like this, but there are still many cities that have a medieval feel.] Kilianth: …Wow. Yes, thank you. Goddess Foot: Looks like you’re a newbie. Welcome to the world of crazy microtransactions! After listening to the advice of the friendly player, I took a look around the city for a moment. Now I could see buildings that were quite large like factories, orchards, and wheat fields. And there were thousands and tens of thousands of people bustling about in between! For a moment, I used my mouse to observe the city, and I received a quest from the holy maiden Isabella, who serves as the goddess of strife. I delivered the orders, hunted wild boars that were causing trouble for the village (it was funny because there were vacant lots here and there in the city full of buildings and wild boars were there), raised my abilities, picked up trash, and automatically lit the city’s streetlights. And all of these processes were automatic.
