Game Market 1983

- Thank you for clearing Hardcore Mode of Dragon Emblem 2. -

-The trial you are currently enjoying is in hard core mode, the top difficulty of the Dragon Emblem. Hardcore Mode is the extreme mode that reaches the end with just one play. But while you've been here, you've probably learned how to live in the world of the Dragon Emblem with so many deaths. -

“Hardcore mode? Is there a difficulty level in RPG games? ”

RPG games in this era usually reminded me of a day-to-day play that follows a set of stories such as the Dragon Warrior Series or the Final Frontier Series.

However, Dragon Emblem 2 has a slightly different format than the RPGs they have enjoyed so far. The second story of the Dragon Emblem, as seen in the Monster Raid system, was prone to RPG for online gaming in the future.

‘Those who have crossed the difficulty limit should be rewarded accordingly. The privilege of staying in the world of Dragon Emblem forever... "

Last year, the employees of the second team, who were handed over drafts of Dragon Emblem 2, were amazed at the enormous worldview.

Having reviewed the draft, Hayashi changed his glasses with a embarrassing look and asked me.

“Sir... how do you intend to create such a huge worldview? The dragon emblem has just begun its second tale. It's going to take at least a decade or so to build a worldview like this. Moreover, the part about users creating and fighting their own power in virtual spaces doesn't make much sense after a few re-reads. ”

Of course you don't understand...

Some of the drafts I handed them were systems that would be used in MMORPGs in the future...

I replied with a vague expression that was natural for Hayashi.

“Don't worry. I mean, I really spent 10 years looking at it and planning it. ”

“Yes…? ”

“For now, let's focus solely on imprinting the world view of the Dragon Emblem into the minds of our users. In order to do that, we need to change the genre of the game first, right? ”

“Huh? So you're not using the Tactics-based dungeon map you mentioned earlier? ”

“Oh, we'll have to write that down later. Players who enjoy the Dragon Emblem must take the lead this time. To do that, I'm thinking maybe a breeding simulation would be appropriate. ”

“Breeding... simulation? ”

The staff, who naturally thought of RPGs in setting up an epic fantasy worldview, suddenly turned their heads to unfamiliar genres.

But as the game began to take shape, the faces of the employees began to come to life.

“Commander, did you feel this way when you used to make dragon emblems all by yourself? ”

“Hmm…? ”

“As the game gets complete, I get these people who want to play the game smiling in my mouth without even knowing it. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

My pervert tendency to harass users was becoming increasingly inherent to my team's staff.

And the moment the trial was decided to be made. I focused on the difficulty of the games being distributed in hardcore mode. Then, some of the staff in the development team asked me with a worried face.

“If you deploy Hardcore mode from trial to trial, you won't be interested in light users, would that be okay? ”

I smiled and answered the employee's question.

“Don't worry. This is just a free trial of gaming, not paying for it. And with dragon emblems and the identities of the games that we've created, users will be somewhat prepared to play. This is a Pentagon game. It will never be pleasant. ”

“Oh, that's possible, I hear. ”

“Rather, if you're distributing the light version as a trial, it might feel a bit bland than you'd hoped. Moreover, if your character doesn't die, you won't be able to make a variety of characters and challenge them. But on the contrary, after playing hardcore mode, you'll feel like it's worth a try. ”

“Ah…”

And that's how it's going through this whole process right now. The users were having a lot of cheer for the messages that were coming out of the screen.

“Does that mean that my character could be the main character in this series? ”

“Awesome.”

“Now I understand why the Dragon Emblem 2 system is a breeding simulation...”

“The conclusion is that if the game feels too difficult, you can play it in Normal Mode, and if you want your character to appear next time, clear it in Hardcore Mode? ”

“Wow... I must really clear it with my hardcore. ”

“Well, I guess Monster Raid shouldn't be so hard if you get the party members right. ”

But, um...

Their predictions shattered when they saw the next parties challenging Monster Raid. It was only for the purpose of attending the event, and the accelerated party was a mess from that standpoint.

The role of 'healer’ was especially important because it was harder to grow than other occupations, so it was indispensable and absolutely lacking.

Finally, the third party, in which the four warriors stormed in, was wiped out because they used up all the recovery potions they had on the first stage and challenged the second stage too hard.

The fourth party cleared the stage faster than any other party with a two-handed inspection of three archers, but eventually built a siege around the Hop Goblin before the third stage's boss, but the net began to twist from the moment the Hunting Monster appeared and collapsed in an instant. (In the meantime, the double-handed prosecutor has taken an enormous insult to the users who have left the battle to live alone.)

“Coward. ”

“Abandoning a colleague to live alone is rubbish. ”

“Wow, compared to the first real party. Worst team ever...”

Two-handed prosecutors quickly took their bags and left the venue.

A total of four Monster Raid events ended, and I quietly climbed to the top in the crowd.

“Thank you again for visiting our Tamago Shop today. Did you enjoy our Monster Raid event? ”

I smiled and said it behind everyone's eyes.

“Dragon Emblem 2 - Age of Broken Swords and Darkness - is scheduled to launch on February 20 next month. We hope that as many users as possible are enjoying the game at the same time, so we ask for your support. ”

“Ouch!! ”

“Finally, with the launch of the game, we are also planning a dedicated shop for Dragon Emblems, so please feel free to visit if you have any difficulty playing the party in the future or want a colleague. ”

As I put down the microphone, I lowered my head lightly, and a round of applause started pouring out from the users who were gathered at the Tamago Shop.

At that time, a user asked me to step off the stage.

“Is there another scenario where you have to choose one of the heroes!? ”

Suddenly, there were fewer claps. Everyone died and waited for my answer.

That's a sharp question.

I sighed a little and opened my mouth to the question that flew to Direct.

“To be clear, this Dragon Emblem 2 consists of three originals.

And... when I got to the end of chapter one. Those of you who have completed the game will have a choice. ”

“Is that a privilege only for one user to clear Hardcore Mode? ”

“No, Light users also get a choice when they see the end. Different from a player who clears a d-hard core. ”

“Ah... I can't help but challenge the hardcore mode...”

“Every choice is up to you. You don't have to be so blinded by hardcore alone. Enjoy normal mode enough and you won't be late to try hard core mode later. I'll leave you to it...”

After the last comment, I stepped off the stage with a relaxed smile, lifting one mouth tail to make it look meaningful for the users.

&

A month later, one day, a dragon emblem was released.

It's been a long time since I've been invited to Yuki's house for dinner.

However, unlike on the first day of greeting, I enjoyed eating the fruit from Yuki's mother's dessert and enjoyed talking in a calm atmosphere.

“I see. You've been busy in so many ways! I wondered if something bothered you after coming to my house.”

Yuki's father Ishikawa, who was very bright, laughed and put an end to it.

“Dad... I told you before, but Joon-Hyuk is not like that. ”

“I see. I see. I see someone who looks just like her, whereas her initials...”

I've felt it before with the vinegar and the second one, but who else in the world calls their daughters that?

Ishikawa swallowed hot green tea and drooled Yuko, Yuki's older sister, with her eyes, heard her voice, who was shearing fruit next to her.

“Honey, are you saying Yuko doesn't have enough eyes to see people because he looks like me? ”

“Phew!! No, honey, that's not what I meant...”

Then Yuko's mother opened her mouth, smiling at me.

“I hear a lot! I have plenty of fruit. ”

“Oh, yes, thank you."

“How can my daughter fall in love with Koreans this time? Is this genetic? ”

Yuki buries her head on my shoulder, her face turning red with her words.

“Haha! Do you like Junhyuk so much? ”

Yuki nods quietly at her mother's question and does not answer. Then the father who was watching her opened his mouth, stealing both eyes.

“This guy. You've been lying to me your whole life without getting married. ”

“What's wrong with you again?”

“Just when I thought you were getting married, all of a sudden...”

“Yuki, your father's crying again. ”

Then, even Yuki's eyes, which were next to him, started to shed tears. Earlier, you were so bright and evacuated, you turned into fresh water in an instant...

I've felt it before, but this family is evolving too fast.

&

That night, Yuki drove me to the parking lot where I had parked, just like before.

“I'm sorry. I invited you to dinner and you cried with me.”

“It's okay. Don't worry about it. ”

“Hah! I should meet Joon-Hyuk's parents later. When are you going to Korea? Too busy right now? ”

< Short: Dragon Emblem in Uchimura (Senior) >

One spring of 1987...

Caaang!!

The sound of hitting the ball with a Yaluminium bat is heard from beyond the curtain, which is buzzing in the spring wind.

“I'll take care of it!! ”

“Yikes! That makes sense! Fight!! ”

The sound of a girl's squeaking outside the window is particularly annoying today.

"Aren't they tired? When school's over, we should go home. Secondary activities will freeze to death..."

I tried to leave the classroom quietly, but Abe, a classmate, called me up.

“Hey, Uchimura. Do you have an appointment? ”

“No, why? ”

“A little. I'm going to the bookstore with Maeda. Do you want to come? It's Pammy Day. ”

Phew... I can't believe he wants to fit in with this body.

Not now, but someday when the Black Salt Dragon who is asleep in my left arm wakes up, your lives may be in danger. So not being close to me...

“I got allowance today. I'll shoot Takoyaki on the way!”

Abe said that I looked at his left arm. Yes. Black Flame Dragon is still asleep. I just hope he doesn't freak out all of a sudden.

“· · · · · · Yes ~ let's go. ”

Takoyaki never changed my mind.

Abe and Maeda are perfect for those who know a little bit about baseball and soccer at this stupid high school.

&

After school, we boarded the train and headed for Nanba Station. In the heart of Osaka, Nihonbashi was a fairly large bustling street, making it a frequent stop with friends.

The advantage of a large bookstore is that you can stand and watch new magazines without noticing them compared to regular convenience stores or small bookstores.

Of course, I bought one every month with the allowance my parents gave me, but recently I ran out of allowance, so I had to settle for standing today.

As soon as school was over, Connor's magazine was quieter than he thought.

There was a young man searching for a magazine near us.

Abe then shouted, bringing out the best signal on the display.

“Ahhh!! I'm out.”

Maeda opened her mouth, searching through the articles with her magazine wide open.

“Wow, there's so many new ones out there. We're almost out of allowance. What can I get you? ”

“Well, buy something that lasts a long time. Like an RPG. ”

“Now that we've broken the Dragon Warrior 2, we can sell it at the thrift store. Sure it's fun, but a little childish? Any new RPGs to do...”

Then Abe, who was looking at the magazine together, replied.

“Final Frontier. I think this is gonna be okay. RPG reporter Jun Pyo gave me 36 out of 40 points. ”

“Really? The Dragon Warrior 2 scored 38 points? ”

Abe read the full review article to Maeda's question.

The final frontier, created by a new gaming company called Pentagon Soft, resembled the Dragon Warrior series quite similar to the story except for the battle scene at a glance.

“Strange? After all, a dragon warrior's tribute? ”

“I thought the battle was fun, but the review scores are good, so you should try it." ”

“Well, I'm concerned. I'm gonna go to the game shop and ask him if he's having fun. ”

The Dragon Warrior and the Final Frontier.

Don't these guys know the little game called Dragon Emblem that spins around in the mouths of people who want to play some family games these days?

After listening to their stories, I carefully asked Abe.

“You guys. Do you know a game called Dragon Emblem? ”

At that moment, the fingertips of the man who was handing over the bookshelf next to us stopped.

“Dragon emblem? What is that? I've never heard of it. ”

“That's right. Where did it come from? Is that another RPG? ”

Abe and Maeda, who recently purchased a family and became interested in the game, asked me at the same time.

I felt like their reactions had revealed a secret that only I had ever known, and I shook my head.

“Oh, no. I don't want you to know.”

“What? That's a dirty secret? What kind of game is that? ”

“Yes! If you're having fun, let me know!”

I can't stand people asking me questions.

As I took the story out and swallowed it back, Abe and Maeda continued to insist on asking about the game of Dragon Emblem.

“Actually, I heard it from my cousin. I got a call the other day, and he was bragging that he had a huge game in hand. Other than that, I don't know.”

“If the game was released, it would have been in the magazine. When did you get out? ”

“I don't know. It's just a rumor floating around like a urban legend, but the game's never been released.”

Then, Abe and Maeda looked surprised at my words.

Even the man standing next to us was handing over the bookshelf with a mouthful of laughter, if my words sounded like a joke.

Abe was looking into the launch corner of the family game of Fame Communications to see if I couldn't believe what I was saying.

“There's no such game. ”

“I mean, I told you it's never been released before...”

“What is that? By the way, how did your cousin play the unpublished game? ”

“Well, I heard you found it in a secondhand game shop. ”

Then this time, Maeda asked me with a strange look on her face.

“You bought a game that has not yet been released in the second hand game shop!? What does that even mean? What's the genre of the game? ”

“That's the first genre I've ever seen. The background is fantasy, and the characters on the screen are standing on chessboard maps and moving them around to fight the enemy. Problem is...

“Problem? ”

“When a character is killed by an enemy, the data disappears in that game...”

“What? What do you mean?" So when a character dies, it disappears? ”

“Yes."

Abe, who was listening to our story, laughed and laughed.

“Then turn the machine off and on. Or you can reload it to the save point and try again. ”

“Cousin says you can reload and start a new stage, but the character is already missing. ”

“What!? So, what do we do from the beginning? ”

“Not even that. If all the characters die, it's just game over. And I can never play again. ”

“Crazy, where's the producer? I make that game, and I sell it for money.

We have to protest now. ”

“The producer doesn't have one, so there's no customer service to complain about. As I said before, the game was bought in a secondhand shop without a case, and the price sounded ridiculous, but it was 1,000 yen? ”

“Thousand yen!? That cheap? No way. Isn't your cousin lying? ”

“Hmmm, not in his character, but he ended up losing all of his characters and being over-gamed. So he's been wandering around the thrift store recently looking for a game called Dragon Emblem.”

“Phew! Cool. Maybe we should find out if he's telling the truth. ”

At the same time, we looked into each other's eyes and ran out the bookstore door toward the nearest used shop without anyone having to look first.

“You guys!! Be quiet in a bookstore!! ”

I heard the sound of the bookstore man's whistling behind my back, but we didn't stop.

A short while later, when we arrived in Denden Town, a warrior merchant near Nanba Station, we hurried toward the visible second-hand game shop.

“Sir, do you have a game called Dragon Emblem? ”

“Hmm? What's that? Is this a new game? ”

There were many people who didn't even know the game store because it was a game that was only circulating by word of mouth. After leaving the store, we decided to split up and look for the game.

“I'll check the old road shops, so you can focus on the secondhand shops in the alley. ”

Abe and Maeda nodded their heads and promised to meet back here in 30 minutes.

I first asked around the secondhand shops I was aware of and asked about the game, but most of the shops didn't even know about the game called Dragon Emblem.

Maybe my cousin lied to me? I dubiously looked through all the famous secondhand game shops in Denden Town, but eventually I was left with nothing.

However, there was some hope.

It's because I met someone who was looking for the Dragon Emblem, just like me in the second-hand game shop I last visited.

“Where did you hear about that game? There are five of you who are only looking for that game today, and even if you look at the family game release list, you don't see it.”

The last shopkeeper's words were in my ears.

‘There is indeed a dragon emblem. ’

Confident, I decided to go a little deeper into Denden Town.

We had to go back to the side of the road to make it back in time for the appointment, but somehow Abe must have been in trouble, too.

As I looked around for a moment, I began to head towards the side of the house behind Denden Town.

Despite the sudden decline in stores away from electronics stores, it was still rare.

However, there were mostly broken washing machines and refrigerators outside because they were too old and shabby.

“There's no way there's a game store like this. Shall we go back...? ”

As I wiped off the flowing sweat and mumbled to myself, I got tired and wanted to turn around.

At that moment, I heard the main theme song of Super Maridge somewhere in my ears.

“BGM of Supermaridge....? ”

Pa, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

As I stepped into the narrow alley, lured by the faint background music of Super Maridge, I saw the shabby game store collapsing in front of me.

If you touch one of the pillars, the store will collapse. There can't be a dragon emblem in a place like this... "

As I was about to turn my feet, disappointed at the size of the store, I heard my grandfather calling out to me.

“Welcome. Do you have any games you're looking for? ”

“Yes…? Oh, that's...”

“Speak comfortably. The store is shabby, but there's no game like this. ”

“Do you... have a game called... Dragon... emblem?" ”

When I spoke to my grandfather, thinking that this was my original situation, he patted the grizzly bears on the ashtray and replied.

“You know what?”

“Ouch!! Really!?"

“Yes. There's only one left, but can I give it to you? ”

“Yes!? Ah, yes!! I'll buy it!! But how much?”

“1,000 yen.”

Good! I only have 1,600 yen left for this month's allowance, but I'll have to live with 600 yen for the next 10 days, if I can save the Dragon Emblem!

After a while, my grandfather took out a black Rom Pack from the store and gave it to me.

No illustrations were drawn, and Rom cartridges with only the text "Dragon Emblem" did not include packages or manuals as I had heard from my cousin.

“Here comes the last remaining dragon emblem. Take it away.”

“Thank you, Grandpa!! Thank you so much."

“Intriguing. You like his games...”

“Of course!! It's the joy of my life. ”

“Tsk, tsk. He's already got a big future ahead of him...”

“Here's 1,000 yen. ”

“Yes, thank you. But you... what if... What would you do if you had the opportunity to enjoy upcoming games in advance? ”

“Future games? ”

“Games that will be released in the distant future. Don't you want to try? ”

“Of course I do!! ”

“Really? Well...”

“But for now, I want to go home and start with Dragon Emblem!! Thank you, Grandpa.”

“No, wait a minute! Oh my...”

I heard Grandpa's mumbling voice behind me, but it had nothing to do with it.

Right now, this dragon emblem in my hands is enough. By the way, Grandpa, what kind of game company do you know?

Whether you have a dragon emblem or you want to try games that will suddenly appear in the future, is it someone who illegally smuggles them out of the game company before they're released every day?

Anyway, I'll check back later.

I ran down an alleyway where the early evening streetlights were rarely lit, returning to the place where my friends were waiting.

It was my first encounter with a game called Dragon Emblem.

And tomorrow, the official issue day of Dragon Emblem 2, which we've been waiting for, is coming.

< Short: Dragon Emblem in Uchimura (Rear) >

After graduating from high school in Osaka, I came to Tokyo to take a leave of absence from university, but I was a shitty worker.

Despite the times when the recession has raised job thresholds, it is a dream to think that this is the Pentagon's number one job for the company that students my age are most interested in joining.

Plus, he works from home, not tied down to the company like a flat celebrity.

In fact, Pentagon employees can use their benefits points to receive free in-house games. However, after the initial amount of money was exhausted, people like me who were in a hurry to buy games because they could get it from around the third or fourth quantity.

A genuine gamer should buy a ‘collector’ and 'play’ cartridge separately.

Before I left the house, I looked at the glass ornaments that occupied all sides of the living room wall.

Starting with the figures I made, there were games launched in the Pentagon that were filled with decorations.

“I'll be back.”

When I finished greeting the empty living room and opened the thick iron door, the bright morning sunlight dug into my eyes through a window installed in the hallway.

“Ugh, the damn solar system...”

From Shinjuku to Akihabara, where the Pentagon is headquartered, the JR line Yamanotesen makes it easy to get around.

A few moments later, when I arrived in Akiba and exited the west exit, my happy faces were waving towards me.

“Hey, worker!”

Abe and Maeda, friends from high school. These guys came up with me to Tokyo after high school, and they were on the trail.

Abe has been practicing in a local bakery since high school, after graduating from a professional school, and as soon as he graduated from high school, he started working for a travel agency and has already entered his fifth year as a worker.

“Hey, I was so worried about you and Maeda at the reunion last year, I didn't think you'd be joining the Pentagon. ”

Abe gladly smiles, holding my hand.

“Keep in touch, man. It's hard to see your face even living in Tokyo together. ”

“Sorry, I've been busy with work. I'll be in touch often from now on. ”

“Ka-chow! It's been a while since Uchimura told me I've been busy with work in my life...”

“I see. Seems like yesterday I was scouring Dendentown for dragon emblems in high school, but I can't believe this is a sequel. ”

“That's right. That's when you saved the dragon emblem and came back and bragged about it. without even telling me where I bought it...”

“No, I really bought it at the store that took you there. ”

“Hey, it's been six years, why don't you tell me the truth now? ”

That day six years ago.

When I returned to the rendezvous point with the Dragon Emblem Cartridge, Abe and Maeda were surprised and asked me.

“Hey, where did you get this? ”

“An old man sells them at a shabby game store on the outskirts of Dendentown. ”

“Really? Where is it? ”

“But you said this was the last of the dragon emblems...”

“Oh, really? Then I'd better make a reservation on this occasion. Show me the way. ”

“Well, it's not that hard. ”

However, the place I went back with my friends turned into an abandoned shop with nothing.

It wasn't that neat a store when I just bought dragon emblems, but the store in front of me had cobwebs embedded all over it, whether it had been closed for a long time.

“Huh!? Strange. Am I mistaken? ”

I looked for an alley nearby with my head tilted, but I couldn't find the game store where my grandfather was sitting.

“Uchimura, you're not letting me go to the game on purpose, are you? ”

“No, it's really here! ”

Although he was really crazy and jumpy, Abe and Maeda, who had followed me around the alley several times, began to look at me with increasingly suspicious eyes.

“Hey, if you don't want to tell me, I'll say no. Why are you walking around with someone? ”

“I'm really disappointed. ”

Since then, they haven't spoken to me from school for a while.

Well, soon after, I made up with him like when, but that day remained a mysterious memory to me.

I sometimes visited it until I came back to Tokyo, but a few days before I came back to Tokyo, I gave up on finding my grandfather's shop.

Six years later, the three of us became social, but it was the same whether we liked the game then or now. Especially in cases like Raon, it was a mobile device that was gaining a lot of popularity among workers who took time to leave and leave.

“Hey, let's talk in the queue first. I don't think they're fooling around over there. ”

“What is that? Oh, my God... It's not worth the year-round. ”

“Not exactly Disneyland...”

Located about 500 meters from the Tamago Shop in front of the station, the dedicated Dragon Emblem store was scheduled to open on time for the official release.

“I wonder what kind of game these ghosts died in...”

“What do you do every time you live in a really popular game? ”

Abe and Maeda stare at the long stretch of rope and sigh for a long time, either exhausted or exhausted.

However, the three of us hurried to the end of the queue and stood side by side because we couldn't give up and go back.

And after a while. With the receptionist announcing the opening of the store, the door of the Dragon Emblem Shop opens and the queue begins to decline at a rapid rate.

Assigned as the head of a new shop, Miyazaki was greeting guests in her dragon emblem, smiling and dressing up at the front door.

As I was walking through the front door, she saw me in a crowd of people, smiling widely and waving her hands.

“Oh my, Uchimura!! ”

“Hello, Miyazaki. ”

“Are you here to buy a dragon emblem? ”

“Oh, yes. I applied for welfare points, but I couldn't stand it...”

“Me, too. ”

She draws a 'v.' with her finger as she raises the cartridge of Dragon Emblem 2.

I couldn't say a few words because of the rapid decline in queue, but every time I see Miyazaki's smile, my heart pounds.

“Hey, who is that guy? He looks about our age. ”

“He's a Pentagon employee. He's the head of the Dragon Emblem Shop...”

“Really? Awesome. Are you close?”

“Well... well...”

I turned my head to answer Abe's question.

How long has it been? The three of us bought dragon emblems almost simultaneously and moved to a fast food store near the shop for lunch.

And no one was the first to naturally pull Raon out of the bag.

“Why don't we take over the Trial Character and then race the Raid? ”

“Raid is a four-man party. Aren't we short one? ”

“Well, once three people are hit, don't you think you'll get one of them? ”

Let's take a look around at Abe's horse. Almost everyone in the store was enjoying Raon. Located close to the shop, it looked like people who bought the game were eating and visiting this place.

Well, there's no place more comfortable than here to play a game of hamburgers.

&

Since then, we've been gathering every weekend at a fixed time and enjoying the Raid.

Due to one shortage, we opened a guild in the dragon emblem community of PC communications to replenish the numbers, and thousands of people from similar levels began to gather.

Everyone made every effort to bring down the tower of Mars, but the dragon emblem's raid system was not so easy to see.

The more you level up, the slower you attack the dungeon in case your character loses in an instant.

After two months, I and my friends have a character level of 48.

After losing a level 39 character in the middle of a party annihilation, we once thought about folding the Dragon Emblem with such a huge loss.

In the Dragon Emblem Shop, the character in the Hall of Fame was usually in the 70s, and the player in the top ranking recently reached the 80s.

Then one day.

The first ‘Berserker’ guild, currently called the highest ranking guild in Dragon Emblem, was invited by Pentagon Soft to challenge the top floor of the Maestro Tower.

Users of Dragon Emblem have made requests to attend the event to see the end of this vicious game.

Me and my friends asked the manager, Miyazaki, to enter the event hall as an event helper.

When Maeda arrived a little late for her appointment on the day of the event, we were able to enter the event hall using the staff entrance opened by Miyazaki.

“Ouch!!! ”

As soon as I entered the presidency, I turned my head to the screams that erupted...

‘Hiya!! Black Dragon...? ’

Four characters struggling against the giant dragon that occupies half the map.

Armed with the final class of each profession, the party did not see a single swing in front of the dragon slaughter.

The party consisted of two sages: a warrior and a shrine.

The leader of the party, the warrior, is level 83.

Three people remained in their 80s because the lowest level characters in the party were level 79.

“Awesome. You're really going to break the end of this? ”

“Wow, a class of real sages. It's not a joke to put a buff on a co-worker. ”

Two dragons guarding the tower of Mars.

The White Dragon, the owner of the first tower of Mars, and the Black Dragon, the owner of the second tower of Mars.

They had one of the two bronze castles, Croel's Sword. Clearing this stage would be the first party to complete Croel's Sword.

“Khoo!!! ”

The onscreen dragon cries sounded, but the members of the Berserker Guild were not shaking at all and were doing their best in their turns.

“Just a little more!! ”

“You can!!! ”

How long have you been crashing that archer agility?

Turning nearly 1.5 times faster than any other party, the palace swings its arrows through a vast map. An arrow in the palace with piercing properties pierces through the body of a massive dragon, inflicting continuous damage.

“Wow, what a dog...”

The warrior stands at the forefront of the party, turning all the dragon strikes against himself.

“We're really close!! ”

“Wow, is this really going to end in two months? ”

Were there ever any RPG games that lasted two months of playing time?

Normally it would take a week or two for the game to end, but the dragon emblem was shifting the playing time of every game of all time.

“Rrrrghhhhh!!!! ”

At that moment, the Black Dragon lies on the ground with a long scream.

“The end... is it me? ”

“Really?"

The members of the Berserker Guild were also tired, and were leaning on their chairs to wipe off their marbles.

And after a while.

A little message pops up on the game screens of the party members attacking the last stage.
