Game Market 1983

Chapter 210

“You. Have you stopped playing games? ”

In the old man's question, I couldn't say anything for a moment.

You hear a weeping insect somewhere in silence, calling for silence.

“Huh?”

While patting the back of the day, I answered the elderly man's question, looking down at the village where the darkness descended.

“It's not that I don't like developing games or feel limited by the idea itself. ”

“Hmm…? Then why?”

“There were people who killed themselves over a game I made. ”

“You mean the game you invented over a decade ago called Virtual Idol? ”

“I see you know that. ”

“But that's not your fault, is it? ”

Of course, the old man's words are not wrong. But after the Tokyo Dome performance, Tsubaki died.

Seven suicides across Japan occurred in a week.

Two of them were spared, but the other five incidents were unstoppable.

It was an unfortunate accident, and it wasn't the Pentagon's responsibility, but I had somewhat foreseen this from the moment I accepted Tsubaki.

That's why I made a music video about her and prepared an event to say goodbye to my fans, but it turned out to have an adverse effect.

Her music video announced to fans at the Tokyo Dome show followed by a wave of commemoration on PC communication and the Internet.

A small memorial service was held for her in Ueno Park, Tokyo, for fans, although she had left over time.

Officially, we were going to have a memorial for a month, but there were so many visitors that the memorial was extended by a week.

For those who attended the memorial ceremony, I distributed the CD with the music video that was released in Tokyo for free, but I remembered the memory that I suffered a lot throughout the memorial period because there were not enough CDs for the day.

After the memorial service ended, she was taken to a section in Hokkaido, where she was originally from, and many people still remember her, who still rarely visit her.

“I still don't know. Whether it was the right choice to accept her back then. ”

“Is that regrettable? ”

“I once wondered if there was a better way to go than regret. What if we could go back to the way things were? But no matter how much I looked at the game & watch, I didn't get a second chance. ”

“It wouldn't be a miracle if you could turn back time so many times. Miracles are for people who are desperate to have a chance. ”

I could feel the depth of time in the old man's eyes looking at me with a quiet smile.

And through those eyes, I felt a little bit of uncertainty about the old man who had been confused. I see. I knew he was...

“You. What do you think is so special about gaming compared to a typical fantasy novel or movie? ”

“I don't know, maybe the user can experience the story indirectly? ”

“Yes, RPGs are a common form of gaming, moving their own characters along the storyline created by the director. But more importantly, It creates a whole world. This rock I'm sitting on right now. In the dark forest ahead. It actually creates a virtual space of up to one grass forfeit. It's a little different from a fiction based on imagination. ”

“Ah…”

“An absolute worldview from one person's head. And based on that, all employees unite to build that world. Just like I used to...”

“You mean the old man has also made a game? ”

“Of course.”

“It was something far beyond your imagination at the moment. ”

“What kind of game is that?”

In my question, the old man smiled softly and carelessly for a moment.

“The first work I programmed was... 'Life.’ ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

As I suspected, he was not just a god who ruled the realm of the game.

There is a much farther uppermost being. But why would that be me?

“But it was impossible for a country to create billions of human lives by itself. ”

“So how do you...? ”

“In your case, what is the first thing you do to make the game easier? ”

“Are you talking about the game engine? ”

There are people who coincide with the so-called graphics engines. In fact, the game engines are like a collection of ‘toolboxes’ that contain graphics and everything you need to develop effective games such as physical effects, sounds, artificial intelligence, scenarios, and animations.

To put it more simply, it's like having a chef prepare ingredients and cooking utensils for cooking.

“Yes, I needed it to be more efficient, to have billions of people living different lives. Occasionally, people who are born with good brains become somewhat known, but you've probably heard of Akashic Records... or Samran in the East? ”

Hiya!!!

Was it real?!

I didn't expect to be silenced by the shocking remark of the bomb.

The old man threw a bloody smile at me and took out a lotus candle from his arms and asked me.

“The rest was easy. An archaic record is a giant computational device that unleashes endless destiny on a wide variety of characters. Of course, there are those who are born with a miracle chance of being cleansed. Those who are called the Saviors... or Saints. ”

“So you're saying... that life is a probability game that comes out of an academic record...? ”

“The elixir is severe, but I can't argue with that. Orders are built on irregularities. If everyone lives the same life, isn't there something more terrifying than that? ”

“But still...”

“Why? Does it feel so empty? What about the characters in your game? The destiny of the protagonists and villains to live in the story of the game. Aren't they already confirmed in your mind as well? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Archaeological is a great system compared to that... at least it doesn't confirm the end with birth. because even the archaic system that creates destiny has unpredictable areas. ”

“Unpredictable areas? What's that?”

It's called willingness. Will is not just an indeterminate element, like hope or a dream. It has the power to even change the shape of its natural destiny. ”

“I understand what you're saying. But I don't know what that has to do with me coming back to 1983. ”

“No. It's the miracle of your will. ”

“What? No, I just did what the game & watch told me to do...”

“Hahaha! That's it. The regression you chose in Game&Watch was a bug that even the archaic system couldn't anticipate. ”

“Yes? Bug? ”

The word "Berg" makes my eyes frown unconsciously, so I guess this is a dizzy occupation.

But the old man smiled furiously and explained to me why.

“Usually. If you give one person their life back. He makes mistakes in the past, or he tries to go back to his childhood and redesign his life. But what about you? ”

“Ah…!? ”

“You created a whole new human being in 1983. It's like an online game. It gave you a unique experience encountering you as a child. and I could meet new people, and I could create a new life in there called Snow Hyun. The academic system has also struggled a little to correct the errors that start with you…”

After regretting to this day, I felt that the questions that had been feeling confused were being released gradually through a conversation with the elderly man.

“So my life since 1983 has been completely out of your academic system. ”

“Well, you could say that. But it was kind of fun. I used to feel joyful watching your leadership excite gamers by creating results with many people, not just by targeting their successes. For me, Yuhee is just watching someone like you. ”

“Then you must be very disappointed to see me doing nothing these days. ”

“Not exactly. Because there's a big difference between the 10 years you feel and the 10 years I feel. Even if it's not you, there are plenty of people I need to take care of and watch. It's like putting hundreds of dramas and movies on an external hard drive and just bringing it out every time I think about it. ”

“The more you use this metaphor, the less I feel as a person. ”

“Haha! I'm sorry. But know this. It's very rare for me to spend this long time separately. ”

“Actually, I was wondering the same thing. Why are you calling me now and saying that...”

“Oops... I couldn't tell you the most important thing. ”

“What's the most important story? ”

“That is the world you have created. ”

“Are you talking about the dragon emblem? ”

“Yes. How have you felt traveling through this world made up of your imagination over the past few days? ”

“It's a world where everything is touching to me...”

“But…? ”

“I didn't miss a thing. There are parts that I wish I could have saved a little more detail...”

“I mentioned it at your wedding, but I'm also very interested in your game of Dragon Emblem. When was that again? There was a boy who met me with transcendent will to save the Dragon Emblem. I admire that. I gave him a chance to send him into the future, the exact opposite of you. By the way, do you know what he said? ”

“I don't know? ”

“The dragon emblem. I told her not to listen to my ears. ”

“Oh, ha, ha, ha. No way.”

“Probably since then. I became quite interested in the world you created called the Dragon Emblem. This is only a virtual space, but it is also a place where a lot of human greed and suffering are concentrated. Maybe when it's official, more emotions will come together. So many emotions that surround one worldview and have the will exploded. That world becomes a distant star in the universe...”

“The world that I thought would actually exist in space? ”

“Your imagination is not yet enough to become a star, but great imagination beyond any absolute realm can also create a world. like J.R.R. Tolkin, who created the guitar of the fantasy world.”

The world I created is becoming real.

“How's the taste appealing? But to do that, you're going to have to be much more grounded than you are now. ”

“I will challenge you no matter how long it takes. Everyone will be sure to create amazing online games when they play. ”

“I look forward to it. Go back to your old world, then. ”

After greeting the old man, I stood tall next to him and glanced at him.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“What are you doing? ”

“You said you'd send me back. ”

“Don't you know Log Out? This is a game. You have to disconnect. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. ”

“Then I'll go back. It's time for Seohyun to meet me at school soon. ”

“Okay, take care. ”

“Oh, sir...”

“Hmm?"

“Is it okay for me to come into this space again? I want to explore the world and fix it one by one. ”

“Haha! It's a world you made. Come and see." ”

“Thank you, sir. Goodbye…”

The moment I turned my back on you and tried to log out of the settings window.

I heard the old man's voice behind my back.

“Oh, by the way, I have a question. ”

“Yes?”

“Why didn't you use the game & watch I gave you? It would have made life a lot easier.”

I opened my mouth smiling at the old man's question.

< Epilogue. (I added some last part.) >

“Why didn't you use the game & watch I gave you? It would have made life a lot easier.”

I opened my mouth smiling at the old man's question.

“That's treason. ”

“Treason?”

“I too have not thought about a life that monopolizes everything. because all I had at the time was money and a prediction of the future, and it was as much rest as a swim to the ground. ”

“Then why didn't you? ”

“What will you do after you've monopolized everything? And in that throne, would I never have been arrogant? My regression... has not only been about my own success from the start. ”

“Then what was the regression for? ”

“I just wanted to feel the nostalgia of the retro game that I just missed again. I wanted to meet famous directors in person, compete with my games, and just live as a pure game director. ”

“Have you ever regretted that choice? ”

“That's right.”

“I see. I understand your mind... Farewell. ”

“Yes, I look forward to seeing you again. ”

&

“Director, did you hear about the 11th round of the Punitive Force? ”

Hayashi spoke to me while I was taking a quick bite with the staff at the staff restaurant.

“Hmm? Why? ”

“This time, it looks like the users are very determined. After losing the last 10 wars, the number of players participating in the battlefield has doubled. You said you could win this time...”

“There will be more and more of them to participate in the battlefield anyway, so we can't help but get caught up. ”

“I'm almost done pretending to be a director. ”

“I see... If I fall this time, I'll hand it over to the right ranker and I'll watch the battlefield casually. ”

Then Kaori, who was next to Hayashi, opened his mouth with a happy smile.

“Director, you never lost a fight before the eighth time, even after you said that in the ninth place. ”

“Haha... Did I do that? ”

In Kaori's pint, I stopped my hand from making fun of the chopsticks and smiled.

A drink subjugation that can be the highest highlight of Dragon Emblem Online. Thanks to the amazing difficulty designed to suit the reputation of the Dragon Emblem, it was already the 11th war on a monthly basis.

Mashin's castle updated for the first anniversary of Dragon Emblem Online.

Many top rankers have risked and challenged deadly penalties to conquer there, but have repeated failures over the past year.

The Dracine Punitive Force was only able to participate by 10 of the highest-ranking players on Dragon Emblem Online, and they were able to move an army like a strategic simulation, not just with their characters.

And the troops were made up of players from lower ranks who volunteered for the drunk punitive force.

Called the Commander Betting System, it was a system that enlisted its commanders during the punitive period to persuade their characters.

For example, compared to Frost's star craft, they join as part of famous commanders such as pro-gamers Imyohan and Jinho Hong to become the ‘Marines’ they serve.

Of course, the player was nudged with graphics the size of a bean, but the game footage until the 10th subjugation was foolishly passing 100 million views on YouTube.

The Drinking Punitive Force is an advantageous battle for its users over time, as individual combat forces have gathered to raise the entire force's combat strength.

However, the defense of the Black Dragon has been fully implemented, including Anubis, who guards the great castle by my side, Massin.

‘Well, the First Punitive Force only saw the tail of the Black Dragon guarding the castle and annihilated it. ’

Then Hayashi, who was rolling rice balls in his mouth, asked me.

“But what's the real secret? ”

“What?”

“The Anubis you programmed. How can you be so good at that? You've been keeping track of the situation in real time. Honestly, I thought I was done with the last 10 subjugations...”

“Oh, that's him...”

... he makes his own strategies based on player data from the Punitive Force.

The first NPC character with his or her own will.

He is my reliable chief, who sometimes makes false assumptions, but never makes the same mistake. Probably the closest thing to an academic system in the world of dragon emblems.

“The most dedicated character. I didn't have to fight the battlefield until now. ”

I finished my meal, roughly speaking of Anubis.

&

After the full moon from there. I was rotting pretty bad when I met the 11th drinking punitive force at the Pentagon Shop Event Hall.

“Dammit, this time it's really not a joke. ”

In a private playroom set up backstage for me, I was battling a four-man army that turned the castle into a complete wasteland.

“Great!! You can do it this time!! ”

“Ouch!!! Please!!"

“Just a little more!! ”

The battlefield on the screen was very disadvantageous to me now enough to hear the screams of the users outside.

“Lord!! Behind my back! ”

In Anubis' extensive message, I turn my eyes to the monitor that illuminates the stage, sweeping away the flowing sweat.

“Ahhh!! Korean Player Yoon Soo-hyun and Hong Man-ho!! It's a great move!! Anubis' bodyguards are unable to mount an attack on two men!! Can we really beat Dragon Emblem for the first time? ”

The voice of Jun Fei, who was responsible for the commentary and progress of the 11th Subjugation, was very naughty today. The excitement in his voice reminds me of the Dragon Emblem event he held at Fame Communications... Was his name the Dragon Emblem Punitive Force back then?

Do you think they'll feel better if they come all the way out here and pick my throat?

It's really dangerous this time.

[Joo-won. I guess I was wrong. Avoid seats.]

[Shut up, just hold on for two minutes!!]

After sending a message to Anubis, I hurriedly left the pads and locked the doors of the private play room inside.

Then I took out the game & watch that I had taken out of my bag.

[Trying to access the world of Dragon Emblem Online.]

[YES.]

At the same time as pressing the button, all the pick-ups were polygonized and the head was pinged for a moment.

However, as soon as I opened my eyes for a moment, I hurriedly thrust the magician's fireball flying towards me with one hand and reached out to the enemies on the other hand.

“Burn!!! ”

Kuoooooo!!!!!

As I set fire to the fiery pillars that stretched out of my hand, Anubis quickly ran to my side and faced my back.

[I can't believe you brought the Lord here.]

[It's okay. Don't worry about it. Focus on the battle.]

[Yes, I understand.]

In the fierce battle for two hours, nearly half of the castle was destroyed, and many soldiers were lost. I didn't know the players' will to defeat me was this strong...

I barely managed to turn the tide of my work with Anubis. I took a long sigh and left myself on the throne. At this rate, the rest of Anubis and his men and the Black Dragon will take care of it.

At that time, the old man showed up at the game store with a familiar voice in the drink room, where he thought no one was there.

“You survived another one. Yes.”

“I know, but I'm not so sure about the next punitive event. ”

“Is that so? But you've grown a lot in just two years. ”

“I'm scared too. I thought I'd last at least another year...”

“If you're so sad, why not manipulate the game & watch to nudge your player data?”

With deep wrinkles, I shook my head to the left and to the right of the old man's smile revealing his white teeth.

“Won-dong. Stubborn...”

“I told you the same question once before, but it's against the rules. ”

“Treason. As you said, it's a product with the power of treachery, but isn't it a waste to let it rot?" ”

“Not at all! Thanks to you, I can travel freely with such a wonderful world. ”

“This one has no appetite at all. ”

“Gosh, I have to go back to reality and finish the competition. I have to work behind the scenes with the workers...”

“See you again. ”

“Yes, sir. I'll be going, then.”

The throne swept away the dirt from the clothing collar and called out the system window.

[Do you want to log out of the world of Dragon Emblem Online?]

[YES.]

The old man said he wasn't greedy.

But it may be his hasty judgment.

Everyone has greed. And that's the same for me.

Since the creation of the content of the game, all developers and users, if there is one wish, it is a reality.

Before the 1983 session, there were many experimental devices for VR technology in 2015.

My desire is to convey this exciting feeling of freedom to ordinary users of the Dragon Emblem through games & watches, if possible.

But in order to do that, you'll need to understand the arcane records that Game&Watch and the senior citizens spoke about...

But can you even figure this out before you die?

I'm not sure, but I have to try.

Even if it wasn't me, human beings would have left footprints on the surface of the moon.

Hoping that one day, gamers from all over the world will step into the unknown world of gaming…

< Review. >

Hi there.

This is the hands-on character of the game market 1983.

Well... first of all, I'd rather apologize than thank you for finishing one.

I wrote the wizard of Goyang before the 1983 game market, and during a paid series, I brought a lot of concern to my readers through the 1983 game market.

I tend to write very slowly.

When you're on a certain storyline, it kind of swoops down, but most of the time it's really slow to write on one side.

I tried to keep my promise to my reader as much as I could, but I was often disappointed because I was late.

It was my passion to have two paid engagements on that subject.

I was greatly reflected on this, and I pledged that I would never make this choice again.

Now that the in-play game market 1983 is over, let's focus on finishing 'The Wizard of Goyang' next Monday.

The Wizard of Goyang promises to complete in early August from the end of July.

After the Wizard of Goyang's writing, the new book will proceed with a bit of casual stockpiling.

I'm just thankful that so many readers enjoyed the work of a half-writer who didn't finish the story properly.

Personally, the wizard of Goyang, to his readers in sales or self-employment...

And I think the game market 1983 was loved by readers who had played the old games in their mid-30s for creating empathy.

That's why we're also preparing new and unique materials to empathize with.

We look forward to a new one coming in August.

Thank you. ^ ^
