Very quickly, time flickered away. And soon, all newbies had arrived, and many were now gearing up to watch the live broadcast.
"I’m a newbie. But when the message appeared earlier, it wasn't even past a breath’s time before Boss Chu sent the 2nd notification saying his team was full. Dammit! I can only blame my slow fingers for not responding fast.”
“Exactly. What sort of demonic repose were those chosen doing to catch up so fast?”
“Lucky bastards!... Why is life so unfair?"
Many grumbled at their missed opportunity, knowing there was nothing they could do about it. And soon, the protagonists had all logged into the reserved computers with their membership cards.
Wen Guman [IceQueen] was a Brawler, specialized tank class with heavy armor and powerful fists for weapons.
Their team also had a ninja, a healer/priestess, a reaper, and a human gunner
There were 4 of them, with everyone choosing different races, whether a human, high elf, etc.
Chu Che [ParkOwner] chose to be a human Gunner.
Today, they would raid a dungeon. But not just any dungeon, but 'The Bastion of Lok' located at the Southern Arun of Arcadia.
Of course, that was the icing on the cake for today’s plan. However, when starting, one must first get familiarized with their skills and the Tera world itself so that they can work as teams more effectively.
That was why he planned to let this group of newbies who couldn't even do the basic attack modes pick up simple tasks.
Anyone who has played online games in teams would know it was a challenge working with complete newbies when he was at a far higher strength level in the game.
He didn't look down on anyone’s level, whether at level 1, 10, or even 20.
No. He wanted them to master their basic skills, be they defensive or offensive, before they head into the dungeon.
Chu Che quickly named their group, Team_Alpha.
[Tera Story Commencing]
Everyone’s vision suddenly grew dark, but they weren't afraid.
Just like other times, they were choked with the powerful qi oozed from the scenes shown. And the more they listened, the more they understood about this world called Tera.
In the beginning, a divine war sundered gods and titans, destroying the world that was… And amid the tragedy, a single drop of hop from a goddess’ eyes fell and converged to form a mystical tree sheltered from time.
This tree gave power, allowing people to see the world as the gods once saw.
And saw enough, the world's greatest scholars and magicians came together to study this divine tree and protect it. So they erased its location from all records.
But how can things be so easily done? Where there was light, there was also darkness. And now, the forces of evil are going rampant once more.
What was this feeling?
Guman’s cheeks flushed as she felt her
After the narration, they felt truly one with the forces of good, hating the enemy deeply.
Countless images flashed through her mind as though they were the memories of the character she picked out.
Dammit!
A single teardrop escaped her eyes.
Too much! Too much! Those evil bastards are too bloodthirsty and vicious!
No. she can't let them run amok for long.
Strength…
Guman clenched her fists, feeling like a protagonist of some big play. But if she looked carefully, she would also find that her teammates all looked and felt the same.
“How despicable! Those bastards deserve death!”
“Exactly! How can they be so cruel?”
“Everyone… We must protect Tera and drive them out!”
“Yeah!”
“Yeah!”
“Yeah!”
Whether it was this group or those watching the broadcast, they all felt the same. But Chu Che found it funny.
‘How should I remind you that this is just a game?’
Forget it. No matter how he tried, everyone took these games as new realms. Why? Because no one’s experience was ever the same.
One should know that even if the many creatures and beings in these games would follow the plot, they would still do it in their own style, as though they were truly alive and had a mind of their own.
In a way, it was the same as robots one day, having awakened intelligence. No one would treat them as ordinary machines anymore.
This was why they couldn't see the beings in these worlds as NPCs or game characters… especially when seeing how different they acted every time.
Chu Che shook his head wryly.
Well, it was time to let them burn off all that steam they had.
After the storyline, everyone appeared on a beautiful hill overlooking the ocean. It was truly breathtaking.
So many?
Guman looked around and realized she could see the other players, as well as their names written on top of their heads.
This… This… (‘0’)
How can so many people be in the realm at the same time she was in it?
No matter what ‘action’ realm she visited before this, the number of people going in for one session was limited.
She said ‘action’ realms to differentiate those in the Gaming hall and Simulation hall from those in the Cinema.
In the cinema, even if they entered these realms, they only watched. But with the other halls, they could fight.
So seeing the large inflow of players appearing on the hill every few seconds made her dumbfounded.
Each player's name floated above their head, as well as their race. Also, there were animals around that players could kill to test out their skills.
“I will give you 20 minutes to meet me at the xxxx” Chu Che planned to live broadcast other interesting feats, going to the deadliest places before meeting these newbies. By then, they should've gotten a hang of things before they begin dungeon raiding.
Yup.
That was the right thing to do. Chu Che thought, nodding righteously. After all, wasn't he indirectly helping them to grow by realizing their own limitations?
As expected. He was indeed a super handsome and kind Park owner.
Goodbye.
“_”
Guman and the rest were dumbfounded.
The Boss… Boss Chu…
Did he just abandon them?
