First Expansion Pack

On the first day of an update, there’s always something I feel when I log into the game.

Even if the world has changed, even if the way the game is played has changed, I always feel a thrill.

Even knowing what has changed, that feeling hasn’t dulled.

The anticipation of the users whizzing past me also seemed to be affecting me.

Today, a new world has unfolded in Deron. The world that was blocked by a transparent barrier has expanded, and we’ve taken our first steps towards unfamiliar lands we’ve never seen before.

Countless users are flocking there, heading towards their own goals.

The level cap has been raised, and new classes have been unlocked. This means we can become even stronger.

Time was of the essence. To run with the vanguard, I had to complete quests and level up quickly.

Obtaining a higher-tier class accelerates hunting speed, making you even stronger.

It means the gap between you and the lower-ranked users widens even further.

Of course, this difference is minimal. It’s just a gap that can be caught up in a few days.

But that difference becomes a stepping stone to creating a gap that can’t be caught up later.

I’m aiming for first clear in this raid too.

The more I play the game, the more vivid my hazy memories become.

It’s like when you look at a faded album and other memories come to mind, a chain reaction occurs.

The new expansion pack, [Solar, God of the Sun] update, perfectly revealed Solar’s traces in the world of Deron.

Adventurers continue their adventures, gaining information about the god through the main quest.

By cutting out all the side information and following only the straight route, I could quickly learn the story of this main quest.

Solar, God of the Sun, wasn’t hiding.

Deceived by a corrupted god who hasn’t been revealed yet, his power was stolen, and he was sealed in cold ice.

The corrupted god breaks the power and soul of the Sun God, which he couldn’t absorb, into pieces and scatters them across the continent.

The Sun Fragment series, which used to drop from the Red Orc Empire, was part of that power.

Adventurers are tasked with collecting Solar’s power and soul fragments scattered throughout the continent and gathering them into one.

But as the adventurers gather the fragments, the corrupted god begins to steadily carry out his plan.

He puts his soul into that body and steals Solar’s body.

If you only proceed with the main quest, the adventurer eventually stands against the corrupted Sun God with the NPCs.

After that, he reclaims the body of the corrupted Sun God and combines the recovered soul and power of the Sun God into one.

That’s how the Sun God regains his power. It was the perfect resurrection of the god who had disappeared.

The Sun God begins to spread his influence throughout the continent.

The snow-covered mountain range regains its original appearance, and blessings spread throughout the continent.

That was the content of the main quest that was added this time.

But there is an IF story in the main quest.

It was a scenario prepared because of the raid.

[Corrupted Sun God]

The adventurer who failed to purify the Sun God has the power he had recovered stolen.

The corrupted god who obtained the body of the Sun God can now wield his powerful solar power.

Having obtained everything, the corrupted god darkens the sun floating in the sky.

The black sun floating in the sky begins to steal the life force of all living things.

The entire continent of Deron is in crisis.

As such, knowing all the stories, I minimize the quest line and continue to level up.

It might have felt a bit boring, but the Ssing Ssing guild members I occasionally encountered blew away the boredom.

,Yeon, it’s Yeon!

I was just cutting down the bodies of monsters in the new area.

I turn my head at the familiar voice that stimulates my ears.

Then, there were three Ssing Ssing guild members with pale faces.

They must have found me while doing the main quest.

I didn’t spare any doping. As a vanguard, I had just reached level 35. Seeing them arrive here, it seems they leveled up quite quickly as well.

I take out the Sunbeam Holy Sword. I happened to have something I wanted to try.

The Ssing Ssing guild members turned around and started to run away.

Since they are classes with good mobility, the distance started to widen quickly.

But I had a way to catch up with their speed.

,Come out!

The moment I shouted into the air, a huge magic circle was created, and a warhorse with hellfire on its body came out from it.

It was a very small one.

It was the one that other people call a pony.

I immediately got on the foal warhorse. It was small, but its speed didn’t slow down.

I immediately got on the horse and started chasing after the Ssing Ssing guild members.

It’s a flat plain. It’s a map where I can run as much as I want. The foal warhorse started running at a fast speed.

The distance to the Ssing Ssing guild members is rapidly decreasing at a speed that cuts through the wind.

At that moment, they turned their heads while running away, checked my appearance, and screamed.

,He’s chasing us on a, donkey!

They’re the kind of guys who scratch my nerves until the end.

This is not some donkey. It’s a guy with the name Warhorse.

I’m calling him a foal, but the species is different. That’s what I mean.

The moment I kicked off the saddle and jumped up, the warhorse under my feet disappeared in an instant.

The body floating in the air didn’t slow down. I flew towards the enemy with the same speed as when I was charging with the horse and swung my sword.

The trajectory of the sword unfolded from my fingertips draws a strange curve and flies like a snake.

Seugak-!

Following the silently swung trajectory, the afterimage of the sunlight stretches out like a tail.

I immediately rotated my body and swung my sword sideways.

The first strike mimicked that technique. But the subsequent movements were the problem.

After that, as always, the attack that relied only on my senses continued.

Chwaak!

With a rough sound, the head flies off in an instant.

The moment the sensation of the sword tip passing by is transmitted to my fingertips, my feet begin to touch the ground.

Kung!

The moment a powerful shock is transmitted, I continued the next action without hesitation.

The opponent who was turning around and running away stopped on the spot and drew his sword.

A tingling sensation is transmitted to my head. This guy also has talent.

At that moment, the last move that the concept충 who pretended to be Chinese showed came to mind.

An attack that aims at two places at once, a method that works for those who can read the opponent’s attack in advance like me.

The opponent in front of me is the same.

Even if his sharp gaze wavers, it was directed at the tip of my sword.

The moment the sword, pulled back as if pulling it back, aims for the neck, the opponent’s sword was moving first.

He’s trying to block my attack.

At that moment, I moved my ankle slightly as if flicking it. The movement that started from the bottom went up through the calf and thighs, and eventually changed the path of the sword.

I corrected the trajectory of the sword without moving my upper body.

Kwajik!

The sword that was stabbed downwards pierced the opponent’s thigh.

An emotion called embarrassment appears on the face of the opponent who was holding the sword to block his neck.

I would have had that expression when I was hit by this technique.

The talent that bloomed from the white pain says. There will definitely be a next move.

But I didn’t see it. I couldn’t use it because I didn’t learn it.

In the end, I roughly twisted the sword and pulled it out, then swung it as it was.

The attack that strikes upwards from the bottom blows away the opponent’s guard.

The clearly exposed upper body is a good prey.

I turned the sword that I had swung upwards and swung it downwards.

Kwajik!

The armor I was wearing was shattered, and the shoulder area slumped greatly.

The opponent holding the sword knelt down and scattered into gray.

The lawless stat didn’t rise. Since I had declared a war against Ssing Ssing in the entire new area, I didn’t receive a penalty.

I recalled the feeling I had felt while swinging the sword a moment ago and aimed the sword at the air.

At first glance, it looks like a languid movement, but it was occupying two paths at once.

How could I have come up with such a movement?

It’s a movement that can’t be implemented in reality. The muscles in my body won’t be able to keep up with this movement.

It’s only possible because it’s a game, and I have a stronger body with additional stats.

,Hoo…

Since there is no one to fight, the pain starts to subside.

There was a subtle tension in the breath that escaped from my mouth.

I checked the video that was taken just now.

It was a video of me summoning a warhorse as soon as I saw the enemy, riding it coolly, and slaughtering the enemy.

Very cool. It seemed like I could upload this video to the ongoing event page.

An event has started in preparation for the launch of the global server.

The end date of the event is still undecided, but if you upload a video of your cool appearance to the event page, you will advance to the finals after an internal review process.

If you advance to the finals, user voting will take place, and videos with high rankings will be selected and made into new advertising videos.

The event participation conditions were limited to anyone playing Deron.

The first condition was that you must have a Deron account, and the additional condition was that the video must be unedited.

There was no limit to the number of videos that could be uploaded.

In other words, they were asking you to upload as many videos of your gameplay as possible.

You can participate even if you don’t have editing skills. Just upload a video of your gameplay.

Deron’s game company wanted raw, unadorned videos.

Including this video, I have uploaded a total of 5 videos.

I don’t know what the internal review criteria are, but I was praying that I would be selected.

Because I really wanted the event prize.

If the uploaded video is selected in the rankings, the owners of the video will receive the same prize.

Cash worth 2 million won, an interview opportunity on the global launch broadcast on the Internet, and a specially made wing costume.

The image of the costume was blurry, so I could only see the silhouette.

But even at a glance, the wings were awesome angel wings.

Wings, a costume that has never appeared in Deron.

I thought while playing other games.

How great would it be if Deron also had a wing costume?

Other users also had a lot to say. They asked to add a wing costume to Deron.

It wasn’t a very difficult request, but a wing costume never appeared.

That’s why I really wanted to have that big angel wing costume.

To get the wing costume, I have to take a lot of videos.

That way, the chances of advancing to the finals increase.

I hurried my steps.

I just reached level 35. I was going to take a very cool video of me changing to a new class and hunting in a new hunting ground.

I had already decided on the class to change to.

[Berserker]

I’m not going to play as a tanker this season.

I was going to be a dealer.
