The man's name is Kenichi Yamada. A 35-year-old office worker. Being single.
"It's over, the service is going to end in just three years."
One man mutters in a 1K8 tatami room. It is Saturday midday. Lamenting at the computer screen without going outside.
On the screen of the personal computer, "FIN" is stylishly displayed in the lower right along with the scenery of the fantasy castle. Characters of the game are saying goodbye if they are tired of playing online games.
"No, well, this was also a slimy slimy. A slimy slimy. It's a good thing to end. I hope you've saved less time and money."
So far we have put bonuses and salaries into gacha and billing items, but we do not feel sad at the end of the service.
It was a net game started three years ago, but I was dissatisfied with the settings and how to capture it. Despite dissatisfaction, I've been convinced that it will be upgraded someday and add more elements.
However, the game distribution company decided to end the service because the number of users did not increase.
"Oh, how many new services are starting?"
End the game and view the home screen of the game distribution company. There was a link for the game to start new. The link looks like a new game introduction page, so click on it.
"What the hell ..."
Kenichi is astonished. There were words that made him despair.
-Level up without permission while you are logged off!・ You can easily reset your profession! -AI will do the battle without permission! !・ Now you can get 3 times the gacha that always has legend items! !
"I'm desperately a Nurge. It's not a Nurge, it's no longer a neglected game.
The man covers his face with both hands and recalls the game of the good old days. That was 20 years ago when I first touched online games.
It was natural that it would take a month to raise a level and to raise a level one month. I still remember the excitement when I changed my class to a senior position over half a year. When you die, there is a penalty, equipment falls to the floor, and you lose 20% of your experience. The boss's HP is incredibly high, and a 50-player raid will only die for at least one hour before dying. I've spent three hours. A spare keyboard is essential because it can't stand fire and breaks well. Moreover, only one item can be dropped even if you desperately defeat it. After that, the killing by 50 people starts.
Internet games, which took tens of thousands of hours instead of hundreds of hours, ended their service more than 10 years ago.
I've been playing a lot of games in search of the excitement of those days.
But times have changed. People have begun to dislike the elements that they have not asked for. Both major and new game distribution companies have shifted to Nurge. The level went up quickly, and weapons, armor, and skills became easily accessible.
"Do you want another game?"
Give up on the game distribution company you are doing and search online for games with a high level of incentives. In the search bar, enter “game waste setting run” and search for the game you want. Then, a site with no display of the distribution company and no game title was displayed at the top of the search results.
"Oh !? Invite you to a never-ending game?"
Words that tickle curiosity, such as games that never end or games that can't be played, are everywhere on the screen.
"I see, a fantasy sword with a western sword and a magical fantasy world. Do you want to try it now, or, um, do you set it directly on the screen of this site?"
I'll try it for now. Since the game is not in a download format and various settings are made on the site, the user moves to the setting screen.
"First of all, the difficulty mode is Easy Mode. Normal, Extra, and Hell.
Apparently, the difficulty of the game seems to be configurable by the user. There is a solid explanation of the differences depending on the difficulty.
・ Easy mode It is possible to acquire skills and grow skills at 10 times the speed of normal mode. You can draw up to 3 extra skills with Gacha. This is a very popular mode for game beginners and those who hate level up.
・ Normal mode Normal mode. You can draw up to one extra skill with Gacha. You can nurture it in the most popular mode. If you are not sure which mode to use, select this mode.
・ Extra mode skill acquisition and skill growth will take 10 times that of normal mode. However, it is possible to cultivate areas that cannot be reached in normal mode. You can usually draw a skill with one gacha. This mode is ideal for those who are accustomed to the game and who are too gentle and dissatisfied with the normal mode.
・ Hell mode level up, skill acquisition, skill growth will take 100 times as much as normal mode. There is no growth limit. Since you can't get a gacha, you can get only the skills selected by profession at the beginning. No regrets. Despair will appear before you. If you can go beyond despair, you will surely discover one truth. This mode was created with the playfulness of the creation staff.
As you increase the difficulty of setting Normal Mode, Extra Mode, and Hell Mode, the skills are hard to obtain and the level is hard to increase. However, it seems that the growth limit has been eased and is set to rise steadily.
"Hell mode. Can I choose a profession?"
Select Hell mode without hesitation. Next, the screen is switched to the occupation selection screen. I have a profession I often watch in games. There are swordsmen, fighters, bandits, merchants, wizards, sages, sword saints, saints, and great mages. This occupation also seems to be difficult. Click on the occupation to display the difficulty level.
"There are quite a lot of occupations. The lower the occupation, the higher the difficulty setting of training. Are there even heroes and devils?"
The profession written below seems to be a rare and strong setting. The ease of handling the occupation is indicated by a star as a difficulty. The difficulty of swordsmen and fighters is one star. Kensei and the Great Mage are like three stars. Heroes and Demon Kings have 5 stars on difficulty.
"What is it? I think swordsman and swordsman are better than swordsman.
The higher version of the swordsman is considered to be Kensei. Anyone will choose Kensei. For now, select a swordsman and confirm. When you make a selection, the screen changes, and then you select a class.
"The commoner, the baron, the earl. Would the class be gacha indeed? There are even kings. Is it the same with sword sacred?"
Classes that are likely to appear in novels from different worlds can be selected. Kenichi was reading a lot of novels from different worlds, so he could easily understand the class. Press the redo button to return to the occupation selection screen and select Kensei again.
"Only serfs, commoners and barons can be selected. Indeed, if you choose a strong profession, will it become more difficult to develop and the class will be lower?"
Choosing a hero seems to be determined by the probability of gacha from serfs and ordinary people. The probability of gacha is also displayed, and the class is determined by luck. It seems that a stronger occupation tends to be lower. It was understood that the occupation that can grow to a higher ability starts from a lower class.
"Who should I do? I'm a swordsman and a wizard, and I'm going to try a healer this time. Speaking of which, the Demon King hasn't done it. "
When wondering which one to choose, and trying to select the Demon King who thought it was the bottom option, he realized that there were more occupational options.
"A summoner? Is that a summoner more difficult than a demon king?"
At the bottom of the job selection was a summoner. The difficulty of the summoner is displayed as 8 stars. Anyway, if you choose a summoner, the class seems to have no choice but a serf.
"Summoner. I haven't done much, but it would be cool if I could summon a dragon."
The man has played many games. Not only net games but also many home software games have come. Recall that in a popular game, summoners were summoning summons that might appear in Greek mythology.
"Okay, I'm a summoner, my class is a serf. Is this all I need?"
He chose "Hell Mode" for the mode, "Summoner" for the occupation, and "Serpent" for the rank, but there seems to be no more choice. I wonder if there is no choice of appearance or gender, and look at every corner of the screen, but I can see only one click button. Do you want to start? Only a large click button is displayed on the screen. Click to see the message.
"The summoner is not yet piloted and has no users. Do you still want to start? Yes, No"
"Ah? Is testing still a thing? Then you can choose what. But on the contrary it's interesting. I'll test!
Kenichi chooses "yes" without hesitation. The screen glows and no one is left in the 1K8 tatami room. Kenichi Yamada has disappeared from the real world.
