The Elderreach Raid can only accommodate one raid party at most.

A total of 32 people. It will be a large-scale raid.

From the beginning, it was difficult to view the ‘Elderreach Raid’ as a simple raid.

War. A large-scale war on a scale that is difficult to experience in reality.

That was the prelude to the Elderreach raid, and it wasn’t just any raid.

‘The great war is the first checkpoint.’

The Elderreach Raid has three gateways in total.

Gate 1, the great war.

Gate 2, encounter with Elderlich.

Gate 3, battle with the ancient necromancer whose identity has been revealed.

‘There is also a hidden phase.’

The ancient necromancers were objects of destruction.

The name Object of Destruction has value, but if it’s easy, it’s not fun.

In particular, the hidden phase will bring despair to those who are immersed in the story.

The official YouTube channel has already uploaded a cinematic trailer and a raid trailer.

The comments on the video were all positive.

It boasted such incredible quality that there were even comments questioning whether this was really domestic technology.

‘It’s all thanks to Aka-chan’s efforts.’

The crown prince, who joined late, also helped out in the production of the trailer.

In fact, the crown prince was just as monstrous as Akachan.

How can someone from another world edit videos with such high quality with just a little bit of study?

The Crown Prince always described himself as a ‘created emperor’.

As far as I could see, there was no one in the empire at that time who was more fit to be emperor than him.

‘But now he’s my employee.’

Anyway, now was my only chance to take a break under the guise of monitoring.

Manipulate the virtual reality manual and create an in-game gallery page on one side.

On the other side, the screen of a large corporate party was split and displayed.

“Ah, that would be fun.”

There were many twists and turns while developing and operating Akare.

I’ve never been more excited than I am now. I’m going crazy with anticipation.

‘It’s starting to come together.’

Currently, Daehyeop Kim was standing at the Imperial Army’s forward base.

This was the starting point and entrance to the Elderreach raid.

Users started to gather there one by one.

***

The minimum number of people allowed to enter the Elderreach Raid is 1.

The maximum number of people allowed to enter is 32. This was the number of people that was used as the basis for creating a raid group.

Of course, Daehyeop Kim didn’t do something crazy like entering alone.

―――

Just taste it?

Let’s just take a look

The Gamdasal Test

What are you doing, Daehyeop?

―――

Of course, viewers wanted that kind of crazy stuff.

At this time, we couldn’t listen to the viewers’ wishes.

It was Daehyeop Kim who had been waiting in such an endless manner.

Not long after that, a new person entered the outpost.

“This is···.”

“Outpost. The waiting room for the Elderreach raid.”

After finishing his explanation, Daehyeop Kim examined the appearance of the new man.

Judging from the sword and shield he was wearing, it was clear that he was a warrior.

“As expected, the Great Hero came first.”

“Do you know me?”

“Oh my. If you don’t know the Great Swordsman in Akare, you’re a spy.”

―――

Seriously lol

Jeon Bung-i is in second place

When is sweet coming

Isn’t that guy a fucking YouTuber?

Why did you make the character look like he’s in his 40s?

―――

Daehyeop Kim glanced at the chat window and asked the warrior in a suggestive manner.

“Excuse me, but how old are you···.”

“I’m 39 years old.”

Daehyeop Kim was 27 years old this year.

They were the same age, and Kim immediately became polite.

“Please speak comfortably, bro.”

“Well, if that’s convenient···.”

After sorting out the titles, Daehyeop Kim checked his warrior brother’s nickname.

“Seongnam-dong Paegwi?”

“Parrying Ghost. Abbreviated as Paegwi.”

“Aha. Huh? Is there anyone who uploads parrying strategy videos on YouTube···.”

Daehyeop Kim demonstrated his social skills and took steps to build consensus.

“Haha! Honestly, I thought Daehyeop didn’t know me.”

“I search for Akare-related videos so often. There’s no way I wouldn’t know.”

The fact that Paegwi was a YouTuber was something I first learned by cheating on the chat window.

It was truly an amazing act of improvisation and worldly wisdom.

“By the way, 3 gates? 1 gate is the Great War. Is there no information about the rest of the gates?”

“Yes, only information about Gate 1 is provided.”

The name of the first gate was unusual.

A great war.

If the battlefield that appeared in the official Akare trailer is the stage of the first gate.

I also understand why the name of the first gate is the Great War.

“The scale is bigger than I thought.”

Ultimately, the party had to be organized to fit the scale of the great war.

Of course, it is impossible to match the scale of a normal party.

In the end, there was only one way left.

“You’re telling me to form a raid party and enter, right?”

“Yeah. It looks that way to me too.”

Raid.

It was a function that was not used except when the workshops occupied the hunting grounds.

Akare encouraged small party play to the point where you wonder if this feature was really necessary.

So I thought systems like raids were failed features that could only be exploited.

“The first gate of the raid is a great war. I wonder whose idea it was.”

―――

Director sniping lol

Who is Mr. Ha?

Aurora, who had been quietly watching, suddenly appeared

The scale is quite large

I really want to try it too

―――

In this way, Daehyeop Kim communicated with Paegwi and waited for the others.

I wonder if 32 people won’t gather today.

I felt anxious, but my anxiety was unfounded.

“Daehyeop oppa, you came first?”

“···What? I’m the fourth?”

Following the appearance of Suzuka and Sweet, members of the big company party.

People began to pour into the outpost as if a dam had been opened.

Groan groan-

Even at a glance, it appears that about 100 people have gathered at the outpost.

People looked at each other and then gathered together to form an attack group.

“I’m a fan of Daehyeop!”

“Wow, Sweet-nim, actually, I’m seeing you for the first time at Akaré.”

“It’s really Suzuka-san··· I’m so touched.”

“I’m watching the Paegwi strategy video carefully.”

The largest number of people flocked to the large corporate party and the famous Akare YouTuber, Paegwi.

Since most of them enjoyed watching broadcasts of large corporate parties, the internal intimacy was considerable.

So, the fastest attack force was created, centered around a large corporate party.

“Brother Paegwi, our party combination is good, right?”

“That’s right. It’s the ideal party combination.”

Warrior, warrior, wizard, priest.

When looking at the combination balance alone, I dare say it was a perfect combination.

“Who will take full control of the raid?”

“Daehyeop, one vote.”

“Me too.”

“The rule is that the person who brings up the subject first should do so.”

Kim, the great swordsman, sighed as he was touched by the consideration(?) of the party members who took care of the most burdensome position.

“Is there anyone in our raid group who wants to take full control···.”

“””Go Daehyeop Kim!!!”””

I tried to take a break, but what I got in return was the warm and enthusiastic support of the members of the troop.

Daehyeop Kim, whose complexion darkened like that of a college student in charge of a group project, eventually took full command of the attack team.

“Ah, can you hear me?”

As they used the ‘Contact Network’ function, the voice of Daehyeop Kim rang in the ears of the members of the party.

“Wow, this is amazing.”

“You can hear it really clearly.”

“Daehyeop, I thought you were listening to ASMR.”

After checking the party members’ reactions, Daehyeop Kim deactivated the contact network.

“You can order like this.”

Daehyeop Kim manipulated the raid virtual reality manual to look through the buff list.

Raid buffs are divided into three types.

Assault team, garrison team, mobile team.

The assault team’s attack power, affinity, and divine power increase.

The garrison gains increased durability and all resistances.

Lastly, the mobile unit has increased its accuracy and agility.

“Which of these three do you think is better?”

―――

It’s a try, so let’s go to the defense team

The assault team is the one that takes the progress

Let’s go safely to the mobile unit

―――

Opinions were divided in the chat window.

“The Mobile Buff seems good.”

“I think the defense looks the best.”

“Daehyeop-nim. Men are just extreme! They have to charge.”

Opinions among party members were also divided.

All three buffs have useful effects, so opinions are bound to be divided.

In the end, it was up to Daehyeop Kim, who had the final say, to make the decision.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Daehyeop Kim chose the Subidae.

“Our raid group has a high ratio of hunters and magicians, and we lack clerics. So I’ll just choose a safe garrison.”

Since it was a reasonable reason, no one criticized Daehyeop Kim’s choice.

“Those who are ready, please chat in the raid chat window.”

As if waiting for Daehyeop Kim’s words, the chat came up quickly.

After confirming that everyone was ready, Daehyeop Kim manipulated the virtual reality manual to enter the Elderreach raid.

***

The Elderreach Raid has begun.

There are currently four raiding parties in progress through Gate 1.

128 users were experiencing the great war in real time.

‘You look confused.’

Looking at the users in a state of confusion, old memories came flooding back.

The hordes of death raised by the ancient sorcerer were much larger than that.

Because it was enough to swallow up half of the continent.

Everywhere you go, corpses come to life.

There was an epidemic and the world was full of vengeful spirits who could not leave this world.

Compared to that, a great war like that was just a war game.

That was just my standard, and from the users’ perspective, it will probably feel like a real war.

‘I found a flower that eats corpses.’

The raiding party, under the full control of Daehyeop Kim, noticed the existence of the corpse-eating flower.

The Corpse-Eating Flower was a monster that periodically resurrected nearby corpses into undead.

That was the reason why the quantity did not decrease no matter how many undead were killed.

‘Let’s see what the gallery reaction is like.’

I moved the screen and made the Ingame Gallery float in the air.

[Indie Minor Game Gallery]

―――

Why do you watch movies? Watching a movie is like watching a movie itself [16]

Elderreach game sucks, really [13]

In my opinion, the soldier should be killed first [21]

Ao, you undead soldiers, stop resurrecting [17]

I’m a newbie, but my heart starts pounding just looking at it [34]

―――

The overall reaction from the Ingame Gallery was not bad.

Even though I scrolled all the way down, the atmosphere was similar to the first post I saw.

I want to try it. It’s like a movie. I got pickled and it seems like I overcame hair loss… What is this?

Hair loss was a disease that could not be overcome even by magic and miracles from another world.

Even the master of golem magic, the court wizard, could not find a way and ended up balding.

The same was true for the high priests and cardinals of the church.

Anyway, the response from the Ingame Gallery was very good.

Other communities also responded mostly positively.

“I’m so proud.”

While I was feeling proud inside, one post caught my attention.

―――

[Title] Secret Class has been updated on the official website?

Psy? What the hell is this?

―――

what?

I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes, so I went to the official website.

When I went into the character list and checked, it turned out that the pseudo-character had indeed been updated.

“Is this real?”

Why at this timing, right now, when the Elderreach raid is in full swing?
