[Patch Note 2.14.0001.1]

[The 13th Alpha Test has ended.]

[However, GachaLand is still not complete.]

[We… need to experience more variety.]

[The 14th Alpha Test begins.]

[The changes for this Alpha Test are as follows:]

[New Theme: Far Far West theme has been added.]

[Battle Pass: Central Bank will be newly implemented.]

[We have organized previously scattered themes into similar categories.]

[Area 14 has been added for pioneers.]

[New content for Stars: FPS has been added to the list.]

[Card Pack: Papa Western/Mama Eastern has been added.]

[Card Pack: Shadow Over Astrack has been discontinued.]

[Card Pack: Moon of Madness has been discontinued.]

[Citizens who failed to prove their worth or used methods that couldn’t be understood have been expelled in large numbers.]

[Oh, right.]

[We’ve expanded our servers.]

[Unless someone eats tteokbokki, the servers won’t crash-]

“…That’s a relief. It’s not too far in the past.”

Inside Black Group’s secret laboratory.

There, Dr. Banshee… no, Remi began searching for something.

The interior, which had been a mess from the explosion until just now, had returned to its original state.

Tracing her past memories, Remi discovered a secret panel in the wall. After entering a password, the wall opened to reveal a secret passage.

Through that passage, she arrived at a remote corner of an android production factory.

“Connect this here… and this here too… Ah, right. Version update.”

Remi performed specific actions at a specific location.

The dormant factory started operating, beginning to produce a single android.

An android that took an almost perfect human form.

With a hiss of steam and the completion of synthetic skin, the android became fully human in appearance.

Remi opened the android’s mouth.

She placed a chip containing special data on the artificial tongue and closed the mouth.

The android’s body automatically began implanting the chip, and after a brief installation period, the android’s eyes suddenly opened.

Neon-like blue pupils looked at Remi.

“Android Zero Back. Activating. Good to see you again, Dr. Banshee.”

The naked Zero greeted Remi.

Making a gesture as if lifting a skirt like someone wearing a maid outfit.

“Put this on at least.”

Remi handed Zero a maid outfit with an awkward expression.

In truth, Remi was so absorbed in experiments that she had no interest in dressing up.

The maid outfit was something she received as a prank from Chairman Morgana Black on her birthday.

“Victorian style this time, I see.”

Zero replied and began putting on the clothes.

With each regression, the maid outfit given by Chairman Morgana changed its appearance.

Dressed in the Victorian-style maid outfit, Zero stood quietly in front of Remi with a modest posture.

“By the way-“

Remi addressed Zero.

“This wasn’t here before, was it?”

Looking at the synergy window that appeared before her eyes.

[2 personnel with Science trait present. Synergy [Science!] is activated.]

[[Science!][2/4/6/8]: Increases intelligence stat by 25%/35%/50%/100% by default.]

Remi examined the synergy window carefully.

This was a synergy she’d never seen before despite going through several regressions.

Zero closed her eyes briefly to search for something, then opened them again in response to Remi’s question.

“According to the patch notes, they’ve grouped previously scattered synergies together.”

“Ah, I see. So [Scientist] and [Android] are both Science synergy.”

Remi nodded at Zero’s explanation.

Remi briefly opened the patch notes.

Given her logical thinking as a scientist, Remi’s temperament was only satisfied when she knew even these minor details.

The patch notes were open to everyone, so there was no difficulty accessing them.

“Citizens who failed to prove their worth or used methods that couldn’t be understood have been expelled in large numbers… Ah.”

Reading halfway through, Remi suddenly sighed as if remembering something.

“Brother. What happened to my brother?”

That’s right.

From this regression, Remi’s brother, Sir Dominic, had also regressed.

“…I should go see him.”

Remi turned her head to look in the direction where Sir Dominic might be.

In the direction Remi was looking were System Industries headquarters and Sir Dominic’s house.

…

Himetotzsaigo Castle.

“Why on earth are you here, Hime?”

“That’s what I should be asking, Tsuki.”

A kunoichi standing on the lake drew out kunai and placed them between her fingers.

Facing her, a woman wearing a thin iron hat drew her sword and stood firmly as if bracing herself.

Hime’s fox tail bristled with tension.

Tsuki’s fox ears stood up aggressively.

It was truly a situation on the brink of explosion.

At that moment, a status window appeared, blocking both their views.

[The President was delighted, saying the two of you look just like his two daughters.]

[Above all, he said this is absolutely necessary for global profits.]

[From now on, Hime and Tsuki from parallel worlds are… sisters.]

[Oriental Mystery! 2 personnel with Eastern trait present. [Oriental] synergy is activated.]

[[Oriental](2/3/5): Increases movement speed.(2) Enables stealth.(3) Enables shadow clone technique.(5)]

Both Hime and Tsuki blinked at the status window.

What on earth does this mean?

Hime looked at Tsuki.

Suddenly, she had a sister she never asked for.

Tsuki looked up at the sky.

Then she sat down on the ground, staring blankly into space.

What about Sir Dominica?

Does this mean she has to part with Sir Dominica forever?

That was the only thought in Tsuki’s mind.

Regardless of what the two were thinking, the head of Himetotzsaigo Castle, Unryu Musashi…

Was submitting an application to rename the castle to Himetotzsaigo Castle.

…

With a bang! sparks flew from Sir Dominic’s shield.

A bullet from Park Chun-bae’s newly revamped revolver ricocheted off the shield and buried itself in the ground.

“Haha! Look at a tier 3 struggling against a tier 1!”

Park Chun-bae snickered as he reloaded his revolver.

“Hey, let me have some fun too, will you?”

Malley aimed his shotgun at Sir Dominic and fired.

A tumbleweed that rolled in from somewhere got singed by sparks bouncing off the shield.

Sir Dominic stepped forward with his shield in front.

Although bullets were raining down, Sir Dominic’s shield remained undamaged.

However, Sir Dominic’s expression wasn’t particularly good.

Due to unexpectedly powerful attacks, Sir Dominic’s health was being chipped away bit by bit.

Why?

Why was Sir Dominic, a tank, being so one-sidedly overwhelmed?

This was actually due to one of the newly revamped systems, the [Rival] system.

When GachaLand was still in its 13th Alpha Test, the President saw potential in the dynamic between Sir Dominic, the Tier One Alliance, and Mountain Bridge Marsh.

Sir Dominic, despite being a rookie, was growing too fast.

Growth that’s too rapid can become a poison.

The Unborn President devised a way to slightly suppress Sir Dominic’s growth rate while making the world a bit more interesting.

That was the [Rival] system.

In reality, Mountain Bridge Marsh, Park Chun-bae and Malley, and Sir Dominic were in situations where they could hardly be called rivals in terms of tier, fame, or scale, but the President quietly bound the three forces as rivals.

The special effect created by this: Rivals deal 50% additional damage to each other.

Sir Dominic was taking additional damage due to this Rival system, suffering an indirect nerf.

However, as you all know, Sir Dominic had no means to attack at range.

The Unborn President was well aware of this fact.

So, the President had prepared one arrangement for Sir Dominic, who had been nerfed.

[The pairing of Sir Dominic and Sir Dominica has gained remarkable popularity in GachaLand.]

[However, we recognize that obtaining both through gacha is too difficult.]

[Therefore, in this 14th Alpha Test, we want to conduct an experiment through Sir Dominic.]

“Haha!”

Malley’s lit dynamite flew toward Sir Dominic in an unpredictable trajectory, bouncing off the ground a couple of times.

Sir Dominic tried to block the explosion with his shield, but Park Chun-bae’s follow-up was faster.

Park Chun-bae took off his vest filled with explosives and threw it.

The flames created by the exploding dynamite engulfed Sir Dominic.

This should have taken about half his health.

Or so they thought.

However, they could only be shocked at the figure that appeared as the smoke from the explosion cleared.

“Ugh!”

With a bang! Park Chun-bae was stunned.

“Were you waiting for me, friends?”

[Yes. That’s right.]

[We’re planning to introduce a tag match system.]

A female knight blowing away the acrid smoke rising from her musket with a grin.

Sir Dominica had joined the battlefield.
