The Latest Game Is Too Amazing

Lesson 32 Billing Items

The school also celebrated its closing ceremony and finally entered the summer vacation. It's depressing considering the homework I've been given, but I'm more than happy to spend more time playing Another World. I don't have any plans for the summer vacation. Ha,...... a little vain.

"Another World" will also begin official services in line with the general public's summer holidays. As far as online gaming information sites go, there doesn't seem to be much change from open beta testing. Is the only thing I have is that the billing item has been unlocked? Let's take a peek at the official website later to see what items are available. We still have time to start formal service.

And when I was looking at the information site of the online game as it was, I found an article that I was interested in. That's an article about the end of the online gaming service I used to play. There is no official explanation for the termination of the service, but it was written in the article that the players were drastically reduced due to repeated changes in specifications, the absence of novel events and, above all, the rise of VRMMORPG, the next generation of online games.

Oh, or is that game over? Now I had never played recently because I was playing 'Another World' all the time, but I can't wipe a bit of loneliness (Shiryukan) when it comes to disappearing. Memories such as the day I first logged in or when I defeated a monster make me lose my mind all the time.

Nevertheless, online gaming is not a charity. There is a cost of maintaining the server, and the cost of labor for the game operator is not foolish. If revenue is not expected, the service must be suspended. In fact, nearly one hundred to two hundred online games start serving each year, whereas nearly one hundred online games are being pushed to the end of the service, which is on the rise gradually. There are a handful of online games that have been going on for over a decade.

Still, if I try to put it in the user's shoes, I may be dissatisfied with the fact that they take the time to erase the characters I have struggled to raise and the items I have collected. However, the terms and conditions of most online games clearly state that the operator shall not be liable for any damage caused to the user as a result of the proper termination of the service. If you create a user account for a game, you will always create it after accepting the terms and conditions, so it is not a problem for the operating company to terminate the service and erase the user's data.

The end of these online games is no exception to 'Another World'. Now it is the world's first VRMMORPG, but after a decade and twenty years, there are other online games with improved functionality that will not always retain the advantage of the world's first VRMMORPG. One day 'Another World' will come to an end.

If you look at the current popularity of Another World, it shouldn't be over soon. The service of "Another World" will continue for some time now in order to promote the sale of Valghia, as it was originally an affiliate of Valghia's development company and no subsequent VRMMORPG has been announced.

Well, it's time for the formal service. Purchasing billing items involves purchasing points on the official website, such as WEB money, credit cards, and so on, so that you can use those points to buy billing items. I bought 2,000 yen worth of points (one yen = one point) with WEB money because I don't have my credit cards together, but I hope it's enough.

Quickly take a peek at what billing items are sold. There are quite a variety of billing items. And cheaper than I thought. Items range from ¥100 to ¥200 each. It also sells a set of five items, "Book of Blessings", plus one free item, which is twice the EXP I saw in the open beta test. It's hard to be a merchant. I also sell status points and skill point reset items but so far I don't need these. Is there even a healing item? Apparently, it is a recovery item that has no disadvantages when used in an emergency. Sounds like a people-to-people match would help. I don't need it now, but I might buy this later.

There is even a resuscitation item, "Dolls of Substitution". They can be used when they or other players are in a state of death, and HP can be fully recovered and resuscitated. (If set to use for yourself, it seems to be used automatically) Until now, when a player was in a state of death, all he could resuscitate was the resuscitation skills that healers could use. In the case of the most expensive item, there is a limit to the amount that can be held at a time, and it is a billing item, so it is not easy to use every time. Still, if I can resuscitate myself, this would be useful in an emergency.

And with a few billing items lined up, the thing that bothered me the most... is the chatter. Gacha - a random item offering method, that is, a mechanism whereby a random and rare item is won after a few throws. That's two hundred points at a time for "Another World," by the way. In other words, for two hundred yen, you win rare items.

Some would wonder if the chatter in this hand wouldn't get a busy item. Back in the day, they had a chatter about how they wouldn't get rare items unless they had a set of items called complete chatter in social games that they could play on their phones and smartphones, and they had a shitty business that had to invest hundreds of thousands a month to get them all together. But at one point it became a problem, and now it is regulated to make sure that rare items are hit so that there are no detachments, and the maximum estimated amount until all rare items are obtained is specified in detail. Nevertheless, because rare items also have a high or low level of rarity, items that are easy to acquire automatically become detached items, and when all of them are available, the amount becomes quite good.

But this chatter. It does seem to contain quite a few rare items. Particularly valuable are vehicle based billing items. According to the item details, there appear to be many faster rides than those bought and sold in the game, some of which are even in the chatter to dragons and multi-occupancy carriages with more luxurious decorations than dragon stool dragons I've ridden before. Besides, they can't get these anywhere else with items dedicated to chatter. Besides, it is cheap for five times in the commemoration of the start of official service. Come on, it's an effective chatter with player psychology....... let's get on with the thought of running it!

Yeah, well, I never won a rare item (though I still won the Book of Blessings and the doll in place), and I have one more time left. I need a rare hit for the last time! Wishing, the chatter of "Another World" presses the button on the screen and an animation flows that turns the lever of the capsule toy. Normally, the capsule comes out with a colon and displays the contents, but this time the performance was slightly different. The background of the capsule toy glows rainbow when the lever is turned. Whoa, could it be a special performance with a rare item pulled!? This is going to be quite an expectation. The item you hit was… a carriage! With this, we can act together at a party. I would say the best item for me when I'm looking for a party member. Me, I dream of getting a bunch of buddies in this carriage someday...

Do you want to start the game by purchasing some of the most delicate items? Take Valguia, take a deep breath. Yeah, I'm fine. After finishing the setup, select Clermont, the capital of the Union of Communes, as the starting point. Will I also see Master Alexia and Mr. Irene?

Reach the portal of Clermont, the starting point. The basic portal is off the town, but it was too idle for that. Clermont is supposed to be the capital of the Commune, but it's too quiet for the same capital, Maukt and Sturbrussen. The house is also closed to windows and doors, and I can't even ask what's going on inside. Um, is this normal in the Commune? There are no people in the city and they are not lively. I'm curious. Let's just take a trip to the Adventurer Guild.

The Adventurer Guild was closed. What the hell is going on? Holidays...... why not? There's never been anything like a holiday before. That would mean that some kind of irregular is occurring. But if you don't see any other players, you won't be able to join the Alexians. When will I see you this time?... Hope to see you again.

Leaving the Adventurer's Guild and walking around the city is like a ghost town where people suddenly disappear. I can't tell if the NPC is a bug not positioned outside or some kind of event. It's impossible for a normal MMORPG to have an event of this magnitude, but there are also events that happened around the city during this time.

I thought about erasing the characters I'm using now and re-creating them, but I can't transfer more data than I purchased the billing items, and I can't erase them. I can't help it. This is a place where there seems to be one person - why don't you go to the next town? We have no choice but to go as far as the worst Castal kingdom or the Weixel Empire. All right, let's try the carriage! Select the carriage icon from the inventory and remove the carriage. The expression "retrieving the carriage" is also a strange expression to think about again.

A nearby space broke like glass and a two-headed boxcarriage emerged from a black hole. The two horses are not as big as the dragons I have seen before, but they are about one or two times bigger than the normal horses, and they have eight legs that are pitch-black and tense. Obviously not a normal horse. The harness was decorated and glowed hard on the black body whether the scissors were made of gold. The large four-wheel vehicle is simply black, and the lamp is lit with a blue flame. Even though it was a boxcarriage, it was covered with a roof over your seat. The two heads stop in front of me, and the hole that was broken is blocked like a reverse regeneration. Whoa, that's so cool!

I approached the horse and stroked him, but I didn't even hate him, and he turned his crushed eyes toward me. It doesn't look like it fits my physique and seems pretty big. I think you should listen to what I have to say.

Let's get out of here! He got in the vehicle and grabbed the reins and instructed the horse to move by striking him properly, as he had seen on TV.

By the way... How many people in modern Japan want to ride horses? Probably a pony experience horseback riding that is generally not very popular or early, at best I think there is enough experience or not. In fact, I've been riding horses since I was in elementary school. Not to mention that fewer people would have experienced manipulating a carriage. At least I've never been through this before.

I mean, what are you trying to say? Horses running out at sudden acceleration like automobiles. Let go of me or I'll grab the reins desperately. Stormy hair. The path to be determined as the horse wishes. It is the completion of a runaway superexpress carriage.

It explodes in the face of the castle gate. I saw him as a soldier in front of the castle gate, but honestly, he wasn't there. Barricades are laid, although it is the gate of the castle that is not closed in front of you. Normally, I'd like to make a U-turn here, but this runaway carriage has no way of listening to orders and no signs of stopping is dust. Anyway, I stuck to a thin compass. As soon as I was scared and closed my eyes, a fierce collision sound and floating sensation rushed through my entire body. I never thought I'd be able to taste the floating sensation of falling off a jet coaster in a carriage, although it's not painful. Exactly, the soldiers didn't seem to hit me, but I'm a donkey to this carriage.

They went outside Clermont for now. But. Horse, horse, horse. Where the hell are you going? [M]

Commune Union. The western part of the Kingdom of Castal, a country located in the eastern part of the Weixel Empire, as a territory, is about one turn smaller than the great powers of the east and west, but the transactions utilizing the interests of the land sandwiched between the two powers are active and flourish as a commercial state.

It was originally divided into three countries before the establishment of the Union of the Communes. The three kingdoms, the Kingdom of Kastal and the Weixel Empire, which at the time had few demons and extended their territory through secure territory in war, forged alliances from that threat. But the three countries came together as one sovereign state to make their ties stronger against the two countries, whose territorial extension would be significantly more powerful. That is the formation of the Union of the Communes.

The Union of the Communes placed what inherited the blood of each old royal family in the new royal family, a system that supported the new royal family with the old royal family as the duke. Broadly speaking, the Union of the Communes has made the centre a royal jurisdiction, ruled by Lord Numur to the northeast, Lord Mayenu to the northwest and Lord Chartel to the south.

And Clermont, whose royal family is increasingly the capital of the Union of Communes. There is now an unusual state of strictness laid down by the King's life. It was strictly forbidden for residents to go outside except during early morning rations in circumstances as if they were under occupation during the war. The more the inhabitants go outside, the more severely punished they will be. Sometimes people can walk freely around the city.

Under such circumstances a group of men and women were moving in the shadows. One is an old man and the other is a woman before the age of twenty. Both identities were thin and dirty for civilians to wear and were reminiscent of bandits in one way or another. The two enter the house by the walls, mindful of their surroundings. The house had accumulated dust as if people hadn't lived there for years, but the two didn't go through with it, pushing the wall on the side of the cupboard. Then the floor slowly slides as it makes a sound. There was a staircase heading underground. The two rush down that staircase. Through the long main road passage, the old man's legs stopped when he finally opened the door that led him outside.

"I'll buy you some time. So please run away first. This passage can only be blocked from within."

"Don't be silly! Even if we stay, the chaser will be here any minute! That makes sense………………."

"It won't, it's a crisis in the Commune. If this happens, we have to let them know about this as soon as possible. You have to buy some time. They threaten the country. You can't fathom it with the concurrent one. If so, rely on Lord Chartel."

Moreover, the woman tries to convince the old man, but the old man snapped. There is no stray in the eyes of the old man. The woman understood that she could not persuade her, and nodded without strength.

"... I will reward you for your devotion.... Sorry."

The woman rushed out even as she was pulled behind her hair for tears in her eyes. After that, the old man closed the watch door.

"Alas, is the inspiring goodbye time over?

As soon as the door closed, an out of place voice was heard from behind the old man. The old man looks back. Was that strange? The Lord of his voice starts laughing when he crinkles.

"What's wrong with you!

"Yeah, where's the scratch? Well, look, I'll tell you what. You thought they wouldn't notice you at all like this? You'll find out from the beginning. You're hiding so much, you're like a wild rat. It's funny how you're desperately hiding without even knowing we know you're here. If I saw what I was wearing right now, I'd really be a dove rat. Want to look in the mirror later? This is what happens as soon as you speak to a rat like that. It's like a cat found me. Uh, geez."

The old man's hegemony - no, the girl who is the lord of voices that recieve killing and answer plainly. Even though the older my grandfather and grandson look apart, there is a killer air there. But the old man was deeply afraid.

This country started going crazy after that girl came to the Commune. At first the old man thought that this girl, who had been brought to a nobleman with a territory to the north, was a child of some nobleman. But no one in the court noticed that it was a pseudo.

That's how this country was invaded without anyone noticing. Everyone who approaches her turns into something heterogeneous. It doesn't change the appearance. The atmosphere changes. Both noble and well-known samurai and civilian turn people into eyes as if they see dust and mustard. The majority of humans had their eyes in them when they began to notice the anomaly. Its eyes shook the old man's heart and guts, and convinced him. There is no doubt that this country will perish.

This girl in front of the old man is never as adorable as she looks. Something nasty that is definitely not a person. There is no way for an old man to know what that is.

"Damn. You witches who hang around this country!

The old man turns the knife he snuck in his nostalgia at the girl. To be sucked into the girl's defenseless exposed body - instantly, the old man's vision dimmed. The old man couldn't understand what had happened to him. However, I understand what happened to the blunt pain emanating from my body and the frequent severe pain from my arms. to himself being thrown down and his arms bent in an unattainable direction. The moment he understood everything, the old man shouted in an all-encompassing voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Soba. Old age abuse is not my hobby, well, self-defense? Like."

The old man groans in agony, and the girl laughs and apologizes. Girl's move earlier. It wasn't magically caused. It was purely caused by her physical abilities. It is the result of moving so fast that it exceeds the perception of the old man and twisting the old man's arms at the mercy of his strength. You monster... The old man cursed distracted by pain.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll only tell you one thing because I made a mistake. Carmilla, aren't you a witch? Actually... Oh, I've passed out already. It's boring."

When I follow the body of an old man lying on his feet, the girl returns to her true face like a baby who lost interest in a toy that stopped moving. But he smiles again if he's regained his mind.

"Now, we have to send a chase to that kid. I'm gonna be busy."

Running -. Outside the walls of Clermont, she went even for the Duke of Chartel in the south, even rushing through the woods. Take the road without a path to escape the chase. If she had a horse, she wouldn't have had any difficulty so far, but it wasn't something she could get all around for hurrying out so they wouldn't understand. Even the castle gate is sealed off, the soldiers are packing it and it's not easy to get out of the wall. Even the average soldier can't be trusted now that he doesn't know how many of them are involved in the Commune conspiracy. I wouldn't have been able to go outside if I hadn't used the way out.

That's why I run so hard on both legs. There are also cities and villages by the time you reach the Duke of Chartel. So I bought a horse and had to head to the Duke's territory as soon as possible - she was just thinking about it.

But there was a fierce noise coming from afar to trample her thoughts. Probably a chaser, she predicted. The old man must have fallen into their hands again. Tears of repentance follow my cheeks. But she is not allowed time to grieve. It's more than one horse from the sound you hear. She turns her thoughts around without looking back. What to do - I got lost. Should I stop my leg and lay down somewhere? But can you do multiple horses well? He roamed and laid low in the bush. Either way, they'll definitely catch you at this rate. Then she decided she was right to hide herself at all.

The chaser's horse should have heard it coming from a distance like an extra grand horse from right around the corner. She was convinced that there was no madness in her judgment.

But her judgment was wrong. If it were a normal Sun Horse, it could certainly have been done. But who could have guessed that it was a bi-headed carriage that boasted a giant body? Besides, it goes flat as if nothing happened while knocking down the trees on the road. Yeah, even the trees can't stop them from walking. And even if there happens to be a woman hiding in the bush on that path, it can't be enough of an obstacle to stop those progressions.

A horse more than twice the size of the average horse came at her at a rate that was not comparable to a common stallion. I don't even have time for that. The forelegs of a horse with rough breath appear in her eyes. She had a hunch of death.

But the threat was never directed at her forever. The carriage abruptly bent to the illusion that it might have bent at a right angle to dislike the bushes. And the horse stopped suddenly. Knowing that she had been freed from her danger, she fell more tired and unexpectedly lumpy.

And she seriously observes the carriage. It's the two giant horses that catch my eye. There is no such thing as a horse with eight legs in her common sense. Probably demons. It would be satisfactory if combined with the rough driving earlier. Until now, however, the intensity of temper had lurked the ringing and grown up like a trained soldier horse. I wonder how the hell the owner of this horse managed to make this demon look good so far.

And the next thing I noticed was the carriage decoration. Though simple, it is not a substitute for a very civilian ride, but is embellished with gold. But for the nobles to ride, it was uniform in black and seemed a little too qualitative. She can't imagine what the hell kind of person owns that carriage that leans too far back. The flames that lit blue were also somewhat unrealistic, rather realistic if I were to say that the Reaper was a carriage that would take away the living.

When she thinks she doesn't have that benefit, a man comes out of the carriage. It is a carriage that is too recalcitrant, difficult to think of as a chaser but an unidentified opponent. nature and she reaches for a short knife. The knife was dressed in dirty clothes. It was decorated so brilliantly that it was incompatible with her to hold it.

But she stopped that hand. Because the figure of the man who stepped down did not overlap at all with the figure of the Lord of the carriage that he had imagined himself to be, did not make him feel noble like a nobleman, far from a harsh and powerful impression, and was just a dark-haired boy who seemed so pale and poor that he was still likely to fall.
