Chapter 7: 7: 7

7.

The people of the world had gone wild when God Wars made its first appearance.

However, there were some who feared its advent. (pr: someone watched too much sao)

It was the fear that the strongholds they had built up around different industries and games would be destroyed in front of God Wars.

“Through the appearance of God Wars, Hollywood celebrities and sports stars will become side characters.”

Among them, the fear that the sports and movie stars felt was beyond description.

Unsurprisingly, their fears immediately became reality.

They, who had wealth, fame, and something else beyond that, all died off like a flame upon the appearance of the God Wars powerhouses.

“On the other hand, more stars will appear now.”

To put it differently,many people who were earlier nameless individuals, had now become stars through God Wars.

No, on the contrary, those that had been tied down by restrictions in reality had their talents shine brighter through God Wars.

“Because anyone would be able to become a star through God Wars if they’re good at it.”

War hero Sergeant First Class Hyten, who had become half paralyzed in a war had become a champion whose name heralded victory in God Wars, while Nichole who lost her voice when her neck was stabbed at a Harlem lot became a priest that sung the most beautiful of hymns.

Those that had a fate surpassing that of being worthless to being miserable came to possess wealth and fame through God Wars.

Of course, there were many that had such a dream and started God Wars, who ended up failing miserably.

“Fuck, it’s really hard.”

“For the orc to be that strong. Orcs were killed like cleaning trash in broadcasts.”

“Wow, it’s really different from looking at it.”

Also, one realizes that it’s an impossible dream the moment the tutorial ends.

That was the reason the tutorial existed in God Wars.

The tutorial made players realize what level they were at.

“Damn, this god forsaken game.”

Through the tutorial, players realized how insignificant of an existence they are in God Wars.

The fact that they aren’t even good enough to even serve those who featured in popular videos.

“They’re all coming out as expected.”

“There’s no one enduring for over 10 minutes.”

“Isn’t that guy the one that fought with an orc?”

“That guy came out the fastest.”

This was why those that were in the same situation gathered at one place eating the same dishes and the same rice with a bitter smile.

“Huh?”

Of course, a few among them who had good perception realized something was off.

“There’s one missing?”

“One?”

“There was a person that ran away desperately you see.”

The fact that one of them had yet to appear that is.

“Did he not die?”

The fact that one of them was still playing the tutorial.

Of course, it was only up to that.

“He should come soon enough.”

There was no one that questioned beyond that.

In the first place, there was no reason to show interest.

“Now then, let’s begin the real game now!”

“Phew mate, we’re finally starting this thing. Let’s GO!!”

Because the real game has started for them.

All this while, Midas was continuing the tutorial which held the world’s disinterest.

Time passed like that.

8.

Three orcs that let out cries sounding like wild monster sounds looked through the space between the trees.

Snap!

At that moment, a rustling sound reached an orc’s ear.

All three orcs made the same cry as they headed for it’s source.

It was at that moment.

“Hooh!”

Midas who had been at the opposite side of that sound let out short breaths as he ran.

It was a simple method.

‘As expected, throwing rocks is always useful.’

After gathering the attention of monsters by throwing a rock, it was hardly difficult to run away while those monsters were making a fuss.

‘Well, it’s a method that’s not needed for those that can fight well though.’

Of course, it wasn’t a method that was used often in God Wars.

The players basically thought of themselves as hunters and the monsters they came across as their prey.

Wouldn’t it be funny if they threw rocks to run away from such a prey?

To be honest, most of the players that said so would either quit the game rather than play so pathetically or select a heroic warrior job.

‘I survived quite a few times with this.’

One, Midas knew that his case was different than those who played God Wars for their entertainment.

No matter how pathetic, how miserable he was, he had to survive somehow.

Not for anyone else but for his brother and niece.

If it was for those two, Midas had the confidence to use any means or measures to survive that he knew of or could think up.

‘I had engraved the method to avoid the aggro of monsters in my head.’

Midas had naturally researched the method to avoid aggro while researching the behavior patterns of monsters.

‘Only I can protect myself in this world.’

Guardsmen were always stuck to magicians that were good, and the magicians received help from those guardsmen.

In terms of movies, it would be a manager or bodyguard being by the side of a main actor.

To say it differently, there was no case of a guardsman sticking to a one time use extra like Midas.

In such a situation, Midas had no choice but to look for methods to survive using his own power.

‘I’m confident in running away.’

It wasn’t to the point of researching but more like Midas’ way of life.

‘Okay, the green light turned on.’

Also, at this moment, the method Midas used to survive was giving him a chance of a lifetime.

‘Aggro over!’

Midas erased his breath the moment the aggro of the orcs disappeared.

He looked around in that state.

His sight was narrow.

Tree trunks and tall grass covered his sight and it couldn’t be helped that little could be seen when he was lowering his posture and peeking his head out.

However, Midas’ eyes could see clearly.

The green lights shining across the trees.

‘The time left now is one minute.’

At that moment, Midas started a countdown.

’59, 58.’

The second hand within his mind moved quickly.

That was Midas’ specialty as well.

In a tense battle that progressed in minutes and seconds, Midas had no choice but to know the time himself as there was no one to tell him.

‘4, 3, 2…….’

Such Midas’ countdown was accurate.

‘1.’

[A rune will be given as a reward.]

The message appeared at the exact time and Midas yelled unconsciously the moment the message appeared.

“Hallelujah!”

He thanked the miracle that came to him.

Also, a greeting of congratulations came to such a Midas.

The orcs ran towards Midas.

“Ah!”

Midas’ tutorial ended just like that.

9.

‘Damn it.’

The beginners village where the players that ended the tutorial began the game.

Midas who had arrived at that place covered his face with his hands as he remorsed.

‘The video is the worst.’

The reason he was remorsing was none other than the play video that he had filmed during the tutorial.

‘I messed up at the end.’

Midas saved the entire 1 hour and 11 minute video that had the entire process of the tutorial.

The reason was simple enough, to leave proof.

‘Well, there’s no inadequacy of proof though.’

‘The only thing left is to find the place where I can sell it.’

It was none other than the proof to sell the information of the method to obtain the Tutorial Master title.

It was nothing unusual in God Wars.

In a world where God Wars had become the world itself, spreading precious information was the same thing as throwing away money on the ground.

More than anything, the concept of copyright or patent didn’t exist in God Wars.

The information of God Wars was God Wars’, no one besides that could possess it.

It meant that it was impossible to claim rights for information getting leaked when it enters someone else’s hands.

A stage where business spies ran wild.

‘If I can get a good place to sell it, I can get at least a million.’

Either way, the main point was that the Tutorial Master title had a value of at least 1 million won.

‘Purely from the value of the rune, even 10 million should be possible but…….’

To be honest, the reward itself was beyond that.

– Level : 1

– Faith : War Dragon

– Job : Archmage

– Stats : Strength (5+10) / Endurance (5+10) / Intelligence (5+10) / Magic Power (5+10)

A 10 point rise to all stats, the value of the effect of this rune was unbelievably high.

‘Since the difficulty of obtaining it is too high, and it is limited to the tutorial.’

The problem was that the Tutorial Master title could only be obtained by newly rolled characters and that it was very difficult to obtain it. High skill was required.

No matter how valuable it was, it would be difficult for them to pay a high price for this hidden piece from the buyer’s perspective.

‘It’s not needed for those that are already doing well.’

It didn’t have any value to those that received tens of millions of won in donation just by saying a greeting in the middle of the game.

There was no possibility of those people abandoning their original character and starting a new one after all.

‘But it’s still something.’

For one thing, to Midas who had never earned money this way until now, it was an event he was  thankful for.

‘Uncle will buy ice cream that Hye-rin likes. I’ll keep it a secret from hyung though.’

He would at least be able to see his niece make a smile as she ate ice cream.

Midas smiled at that thought.

‘It would be difficult right now so later.’

Of course, Jung Hyeonwoo wasn’t stupid.

Releasing this secret information would be giving a gift to his competitors at a cheap price.

‘For now, I’ll release it after raising my character’s level a bit.’

He was planning on selling it when he was at least at level 100, when he wouldn’t be in competition with all the late starters.

To put it differently, there was no need to think about the place to sell it at the moment.

He just had to start the game for real right now.

There was no hesitation in that process.

Because as a God Wars player 5 years in, his knowledge was better than most people’s when it came to how to play.

‘Now, then…’

God Wars was a difficult game to start in the beginning.

The thing that was the most annoying was none other than quests.

All quests in God Wars had a time limit and a limit to how many could take it.

To put it simply, the quests were disposable.

It meant that the NPCs didn’t stay at the same place with the same lines and quests like in other games which came as a great wall to new players.

‘I should receive the help of the Adventurer Guild first.’

That was why what appeared was the Adventurer Guild.

They gathered information on quests and hunting grounds for beginners and the Adventurer Guild that appeared with such a pretext became one of the 10 guilds that represented God Wars at some point though.

‘It does take some money though.’

Of course, their service came at a price.

‘Thinking about it, they’re a bunch of thieves.’

They were basically monopolizing the service that was originally available to everyone as first come first serve with force and power and selling it for money.

As Midas had said, they could be seen as thieves.

There was not a low amount of people that had complaints about it.

However, there was an incredibly low number of people that directly showed their dissatisfaction.

‘Thieves strong to the point that even burglars wouldn’t meet their eyes.’

One of the top 10 guilds of God Wars.

The weight behind its name was something that normal people couldn’t even begin to imagine after all.

Especially to those that lived off of God Wars, the top 10 guilds were existences that they couldn’t even dare to look at.

“Huh? It’s an NPC? Can’t we get a quest if we talk to him?”

“Hey, ignore it.”

It was the reason beginners that first started God Wars couldn’t even talk properly to NPCs that were located here and there in the village of beginning.

“Ignore them?”

“The Adventurer Guild is managing it. If a quest appears by talking, it would be a big deal.”

The NPCs of places where the Adventurer Guild had settled were already properties of the Adventurer Guild after all.

That was why the players wouldn’t even look at the NPCs properly and all went in a single direction.

Midas also threw himself into the mob.

‘Hm?’

To such a Midas, a certain thing caught his eye.

‘A question mark?’

What caught Midas’ eye was none other than a question mark flashing yellow.

‘A quest?’

It should be a signal that shows that it’s a quest.

It wasn’t difficult to infer that fact.

Instead, it only left a single question.

‘But why from a puppy?’

The question mark was on a dying puppy.

‘What is it?’

A surprising message came to Midas.

‘Ah, damn it! My time’s up!’

It was a message that told him that his daily play time was over.
