2027.

Just a year ago, Gyeolsa-Mangliang Company succeeded in building a virtual reality network.

-Welcome, to the metaverse!

Under the leadership of America’s SS-class hero and head of research and development, ‘Blue Dragon’, humanity has finally succeeded in accessing the world of virtual reality.

-No, welcome to digital world!

Blue Dragon-Blue Rider brought a special VR device and presented it to everyone.

Everything is through the power of mana.

The specific technical basis is based on the ‘Mana Metal’ installed in each region, and the headgear connects to the Mana Neural Network Cloud that is connected to each Mana Metal.

Although it is called virtual reality, it is ultimately based on the ‘Internet’ and is based on access through Manametal, but it also includes conversion of electronic signals, so it is ultimately a shared network that can be accessed through the general Internet –

-If you have difficulty understanding, think of it this way. We are connected by color!

Humanity has become able to access virtual reality with just a machine.

-So what are you doing there?

“, someone asked.

When it comes to virtual reality, you usually create your own avatar and experience it, but humanity was unable to understand what impact this advanced technology created by the company would have.

-In the virtual reality world, even ordinary people can use this ability with just their imagination!

said the Company.

-You cannot use original skills you created, but you can use ‘characters’ or ‘skills’ registered on the network!

In front of everyone, Blue Dragon directly entered the metaverse they were talking about.

Even those on site entered the metaverse by wearing VR headsets, and served as the eyes of those watching the live video as cameras.

-How do you use this ability here? In this metaverse world, there is a medium that stores data about the abilities of people with special abilities, and we decided to call this a ‘card’.

Blue Dragon took out a card.

The card had a picture of the goblin that everyone was familiar with, and had ‘B’ written in the corner.

-The grade of the person with special abilities ranges from grade F to the highest grade in reality. Using our company’s big data, we can classify abilities, and by using each card, we can use this ability at a level that is just right for that ability.

-So, anyone with a card can become a B-class goblin!

Anyone can become a talented person.

Even if you are not necessarily a goblin, if the data of a person with special abilities is registered in the electric world, you can become the hero you have longed for.

-Of course, there is a problem with someone with special abilities just registering all the data. Because you are essentially sharing your abilities openly with everyone. Although it is possible to register only low-level technologies, there may be cases where you do not register because you do not trust the company.

There were many problems in many ways.

-For both the general public and those with special abilities, the highest level of ability that users can use is S rank. registered.

The fact that the virtual reality world was suddenly announced was also headache-inducing, but the content was enough to make everyone suffer.

-You can follow along step by step. There is no such thing as falling behind just because you catch up late. Instead, the cards are limited.

even.

-Then, goblin and supernatural ability factory. Let’s get started. Purchase tickets at various supermarkets, convenience stores, etc. around the world, collect cards, and register!

The sale was made without any specific explanation.

“What?! If you buy a pack of five cards for 10,000 won, the cards will automatically be linked to your account, and you can use that card’s special abilities in the metaverse right away?!”

“What?! The rarity of a card depends on the level of registration by the person with this ability? By registering their abilities, people with special abilities receive settlement money based on sales volume?”

“What?! Even though I’m a C-ranker, I can use the skills of a light wing attack?!”

Just one year.

As many as 300 million people around the world live in the metaverse, most of whom were unable to use these abilities in real life.

At least not in reality, although it is a virtual space.

An era where anyone can use this ability.

-Ready, Goblin One.

Someone called this era like this.

-Welcome to the Canyon of the Supernatural.

* * *

Weeeeing.

A world where the blue grid shines in three dimensions.

The appearance was in front of Domino City’s entrance control center, the same place where it stood a moment ago, but the ‘color’ was different from reality.

“Are you on top of a 3D world unfolding through satellite?”

Do Ji-wan opened his eyes in a world of electric brains where all objects emit blue light.

“Here….”

“You’re here!”

thud.

Kim Young-soo, the opponent of the match, bumped his fists and grinned.

Something similar to a barcode of data sparkled on both of his fists, and pieces of 0 and 1 exploded next to him like embers of mana in reality.

“Once you accept the win, you won’t be able to just let it go!”

“Let me ask you one thing.”

Do Ji-wan tapped the Taegeuk Watch and several screens appeared.

“Even though I can easily purchase and register a card at a convenience store, why is it blocking me?”

Is it because I entered the cybernetic world?

Or is it because he is trying to express his anger by openly showing his displeasure?

“I don’t understand, not at all.”

Do Ji-wan picked up one of the cards registered to his account with a firm voice.

“That’s why!”

Kim Young-su huffed and pointed a point at Do Ji-wan.

“A new student at the academy, and it’s not just an academy, a person like you who isn’t prepared can’t enter the shrine of special abilities created by the goblin himself!”

“What are you saying….”

“Do Ji-wan! You are not ready at all!”

Kim Young-su shouted in an overbearing voice.

“A new student is trying to enter Domino City without properly preparing his deck?! Before talking about citizenship, you are not qualified as a person with special abilities!”

“Why is the immigration office employee talking about that qualification? That’s the part I don’t understand the most.”

“Ugh…!”

Kim Young-su frowned at Do Ji-wan’s words.

“That’s…tsk.”

He tried to refute him right away, but the huge hemispherical barrier that stretched around the two immediately silenced Kim Young-soo.

Beep beep, beep beep!

Beyond the barrier, numerous avatars like little ghosts appeared.

The ghosts, each wearing a unique mask, looked deformed like balloons, and began to cheer from beyond the barrier where the two were competing.

– Show me the A-class fighting spirit’s abilities!

-Let’s go back to the station! Show the power of new students!

-Can you lose while holding the God of Fighting card?! This is the badge!

-If you lose here, you will drop out and give me, as the number one candidate, a chance to enroll!

Then, each person took a side and started cheering.

-Even if both of them are incompetent, and even if one of them is the one who will enter the goblin academy, the one with the A-level card will still win!

-Okay, then. How could a card freshly opened at a convenience store be stronger than that? If I had that chance, I’d rather buy a lottery ticket!

Who will win?

The win/loss ratio was about 9 to 1 in favor of Kim Young-soo, and Kim Young-soo waved his hand widely at the spectators who were connected to the server.

“I will definitely show you the power of A-class fighting spirit!”

“Heung.”

“…cheeky.”

Kim Young-su frowned at Do Ji-wan’s calm attitude.

“It wasn’t enough that I was trying to enter the city out of nowhere, I also attracted Taeirin’s attention…!”

Behind Do Ji-wan.

Among the ghostly spectator goblins with the hearts of beasts who cheered for Do Ji-wan and bet against him, one spectator goblin wearing a white bird-like mask was staring at Do Ji-wan from behind.

“You will definitely win! Shout, I’m ready!”

“Ready, done.”

Flashing.

Something began to glow from Do Ji-wan’s body.

Soon, like Kim Young-soo’s, electronic light shining with 0s and 1s began to shine in his hands, and a very ominous red light began to leak out.

“Well, that’s…!”

“It was the highest grade. C grade, Lee Ye-ryeong.”

“Ugh…! Did you draw the Heavenly Demon card…!”

A hero still nicknamed ‘Cheonma’.

Drawing her card was definitely enough to say ‘lucky’.

Even more so, if it is not even D, the minimum grade required for correction every 5 packs, but C, one level higher.

“Of course, Tushin lost to Cheonma in the World Cup! However, such compatibility of reality is meaningless in this world of electric brains!”

As Kim Young-soo regained his posture, electronic light began to flutter from his body and his fighting spirit began to radiate.

“I’ll show you! Who was truly the right talent to enter the academy!”

“If it weren’t for those people, they would have taken away my admission qualifications with the ‘anti-rule’.”

“……?!”

Kim Young-soo’s heart sank for a moment at Do Ji-wan’s words, but he soon regained his momentum.

“Hmph…! At least you are now C-rank! With only C-level power, what can you do?”

“In reality, it may not be true, but even here, it is not the rarity of the card that determines victory or defeat.”

Do Ji-wan straightened his posture like a warrior from a martial arts scene and stretched out his fist forward.

“How do you think and how do you move? What if the card is grade A? The driver of the supercar is Mrs. Kim.”

“Well, what…”

The moment Kim Young-soo clenched his fist.

“…Huh?”

Do Ji-wan disappeared from sight.

The red edge of my vision, almost like a ‘warning’, is clearly-

“Backㅡ”

Phew!

“I will correct it.”

Do Ji-wan, who hit Kim Young-su on the back with his fist, spoke in a cold voice.

“Comparing your skills was rude to Ms. Kim.”
