Space Warfare

Amusement park.

There’s a lot to eat at amusement parks. They sell a variety of foods and are overflowing with various snacks.

But in the past, I couldn’t buy as many of those snacks as I wanted. As everyone knows, it’s because of the price.

The food at amusement parks was all made of gold, as the prices were 50% more expensive than outside, or in some cases, almost twice as high, making it the worst value for money.

An ice cream costs 5,000 won, or a sausage costs 5,000 won; the price was so high I wanted to slap someone in the face.

But don’t worry.

The corners of my lips went up and I couldn’t help but laugh at the black card in my pocket.

I’ve never felt rich in my life, but now I don’t have to worry about money.

Actually, I have a desire to fill my hospital room with game figures right now, but I’m holding back because it’s a hospital room, but food disappears once you eat it anyway, so I can buy a lot of it.

And it’s a special treat to eat snacks at an amusement park.

The problem is the long lines.

But amusement park food usually turns over quickly, so instead of looking for places with no lines, I stood in line where I wanted to eat.

,Wow… daebak, hey, look behind you.”

,Huh? Why? Heok.”

,Oh, so cute…”

I chose a churro as my first snack, and I was standing in line with Nakyeong-eonni, and there were eonnis who looked like college students in front of me, and one of them found me and tapped her friends on the shoulder and said.

The college student eonnis turned around and looked at me.

Maybe it’s because they were almost 30cm taller than me, but the college student eonnis all squatted down and met my eyes.

,Daebak, do elementary school students wear uniforms these days! Wow.”

,I’m not an elementary school student.”

,Heok! Do kindergarteners wear uniforms these days!”

,I’m not a kindergartener either.”

,Heok! Then… no, you’re a middle school student…! I, I’m sorry, eonni was mistaken.”

What is it.

I hadn’t even paid for the churros yet, but when it was my turn, my hands were full of churros, so I didn’t have to order anything.

The college student eonnis apologized and bought churros for me and Nakyeong-eonni and handed them to us.

,Then shall we take a screenshot together?”

I was flustered by the sudden churros, but fortunately, one of the college student eonnis understood the word “screenshot” because I had developed an automatic reflex from playing Leore.

,Really!? Guys, they’ll take a picture with us!”

,Daebak! Really!?”

The churros of the future were no different from the past, but the churros eaten at the amusement park were delicious.

I couldn’t ride the thrilling rides, but I had a lot more fun at the amusement park than I thought I would.

There were people who recognized me from time to time, so it was fun to take screenshots with them or sign autographs, and I wasn’t bored at all.

4 p.m.

I checked the headcount at the place where I was supposed to meet the teacher-nim.

The teacher-nim confirmed that there were no problems with the students and said that they could disband. Those who wanted to stay at the amusement park longer could stay, and those who wanted to go home could go home.

I started to think about it.

If it were the old me, I would have gone straight to Leore, but now my heart is leaning more towards the amusement park.

It’s a huge amusement park in the future era, and I haven’t even seen a quarter of it yet.

It’s such a big amusement park that it would take four days to see everything. In the old days, it would be the size of World Disney.

And Arang-i, who had been in the hospital room since she was a child due to illness, is now very happy with this amusement park.

,And if they have a parade at an amusement park of this size, it’ll be really spectacular.’

,Alright! Arang-a, let’s go!”

The middle school girl party also rode everything they wanted to ride, and in the evening, they walked around together and enjoyed the amusement park together.

After Leore’s big update, I had a big problem.

I usually enjoy RPG games by doing raids together or chatting with close users.

But since the Leore main quest revamp, I’ve started to feel a little sad.

I don’t know if it’s because my period is coming up and I’m more sensitive, but everyone’s been busy lately.

Originally, when it was evening in real time, users who had finished their daily chores and had nothing to do would gather at the guild house and chat and watch fun videos together.

But this Leore revamp has changed so that the story doesn’t end.

Now, instead of waiting after finishing the main quest, a crazy high-performance AI creates quests in real time and keeps giving them to you, so the story of the Leore world keeps going and there’s no stopping the story.

In other words, many users were excited about continuing to enjoy quests and changing the story with their own methods and choices.

Of course, I like it too.

But because of my special situation, there’s a problem.

As the 5th World Muyeo, World Boss, and currently the strongest boss in Leore, I was given completely different quests and routes than other users.

Right now, I have a quest to find a creature that deals with black liquid, but that’s a sub-quest, and the main quest itself is too different from other users.

In the end, I have to do the quest alone. I have Marang-i, but Marang-i’s time to wander around is limited unless it’s the guild house or the 5th World Shrine.

In other words, I’m lonely.

When I came back to the guild house, there used to be about 10 people gathered together to chat, but now there are very few users in the guild house.

No, almost none.

If this was an old PC RPG game, I would just turn on the game and leave my character standing in the game without logging out to reduce the loneliness, but Leore is a virtual world game, so it’s impossible.

If you have something to do, you have to log out of Leore and your character disappears.

Everyone does the main quest, then does some daily chores together, and then logs out.

There’s no time to be in the guild house. No, there’s no reason to be there in the first place.

I was rolling around on the huge bed in the center of the lobby of the large mansion guild house.

There are still quests left, but even if I go, I’ll just have to wander around in the empty wilderness where no one is.

These days, Leore feels strongly like I’m playing a single-player RPG game.

The middle school girl party has already grown into Leore users and are playing well without me, and our guild members are doing their own thing without me having to say anything.

I played at the amusement park and had so many fun things to do that I wanted to brag about it with the guild members, but when I entered the guild house, the emptiness of the large guild house with no one in it made me feel like all the strength in my body was gone.

Marang-i doesn’t come even though I logged in, maybe she’s doing something separately with Disnieo.

,Leore is no fun.’

I know I’m thinking stupid things because my emotions are sensitive due to my period, but people are creatures that are moved by hormones and emotions.

I logged out less than 5 minutes after logging into Leore and immediately installed a game that I had been interested in for a long time but hadn’t played because of Leore and Brown Dust games.

Space Warfare 5

It’s the game title that made me addicted to games when I was young.

It’s a representative real-time strategy game RTS where you choose one of three races and defeat the opposing team.

I started playing Space Warfare after seeing a tournament on TV and even got a semi-pro license, and in the ladder, I met pros and sometimes even beat them.

Because of that, I was really popular at school just for my Space Warfare skills.

Anyway, Space Warfare finally came out with 5, and I can enjoy it in virtual reality, so I was curious about what it would be like to play an RTS game in virtual reality, so I bookmarked it.

I looked up information while installing the Space Warfare game.

,Oh. What? If it’s like this, I think I’ll be good at it soon?’

Space Warfare 5 is a remastered version of Space Warfare 1. As a virtual reality game.

The disappointing thing is that Space Warfare 5 isn’t that popular either.

In the first place, the RTS genre has no choice but to be unpopular.

,Huh? Space Warfare University? What is this?’

I clicked on the word “university” written on Namu Wiki because I was wondering what it was, and a bunch of pictures of streamers who are active on platforms other than RyuTube came out.

,Ah, they’re making teams of streamers and running them like the old Space Warfare pro teams, and they’re calling it a university. But what’s interesting is that most of the members are women?’

The RTS genre is usually not popular with women. No, they don’t even know about it.

But most of the people doing the Space Warfare University content right now are all women, almost 100%.

,That’s interesting.’

I read what was written on Namu Wiki.

So, the pro gamers teach the female streamers Space Warfare, and the main content is the viewers watching the female streamers fight each other.

,That must be hard.’

RTS is a really simple game.

If you’re bad, you lose, and if you’re good, you win.

There are no excuses. If you lose, it’s 100% your fault.

I know how much stress that can cause.

But female streamers are doing it? They must have a very strong mentality.

After looking around, the game was all downloaded.

I connected to Space Warfare with anticipation.
