episode_0044

My first interview was a very enjoyable experience.

It felt like we were just chatting about Akaré rather than an interview?

I was so excited that I ended up saying things I didn’t need to say.

Well, it was fun. Let’s have a drink.

By the way, there was constant talk about Yas in all kinds of communities.

The secret to maximum favorability, one of those things you don’t have to say.

Yas.

The image of the reporter looking at me in surprise at the fact that I could do that and not knowing what to do was still vivid in my mind.

“Is Yas really that good···.”

Of course, that is human instinct, a primal desire.

If you just let out your base feelings, are you a beast or a human?

In that sense, it was clear that the community was full of only beasts.

‘You have to try it to know.’

He, is sex really that good?

Whether it gives pleasure enough to paralyze reason.

Even taking anonymity into account, how can one be so honest about one’s instincts?

It’s hard to say for sure since I’ve never done it myself.

Of course, it would be easy to find out if you use the Creator’s authority.

I didn’t want to experience it by digging up other people’s records.

“It’s all about Yas.”

As time passes, the topic that dominates the community as a whole has not changed.

Favorability. Yas. And Raven.

Certainly, Raven was a fascinating character.

How do you make someone crazy about a character like Raven?

Because the result of continuing to think and ponder based on that is Raven.

“Ugh···.”

If I continued exploring the community any further, I felt like my mind would become polluted.

‘Just then, Sweet turned on the broadcast.’

Sweet, who had not been able to join the big company party due to personal reasons.

After several days of silence, the situation has finally come to light.

Even if it was due to personal reasons, continuing to take a break is crossing the line.

I wasn’t the only one who thought that way, so public sentiment toward Sweet was furious.

―――

🔥🔥🔥

Explain

Is the girlfriend bait real?

Those crazy kids are making so much noise even though they weren’t even looking

Let’s go to Yas with Raven

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

―――

Even in the chat window that was burning brightly, there was no response.

Then the broadcast category changed to Akare.

“Ah, ah. Hello everyone.”

―――

I can’t believe it’s personal circumstances

Hey, you must have done the back akare alone

Where is this kid?

What is the bed?

What is it?

―――

Sweet, ignoring the chat coming up, opened the likeability tab.

The first thing you notice when you open the tab is Raven’s favorability rating.

The highest level is ‘Fate’. And the affection gauge is completely filled.

The queen-size bed seen in the background creates a mysterious harmony.

“I’m a little late because of personal reasons.”

Sweet smiled like a winner.

Then the chat window froze for a moment.

The chat went up so fast that it was hard to see with the naked eye.

“Everyone, whoa whoa.”

There is a proverb that says, “Adding fuel to the fire.”

Rather than putting out the fire that had spread in the chat room, as the saying goes, Sweet fanned the flames.

He made the most annoying expression possible to further provoke the viewers.

“Oh, I’m going to burst out laughing. Your reactions are so funny.”

As if he had just had a big event and was free from the secular world.

Despite all the insults and personal attacks, Sweet did not lose his composure.

“Guys. I found out what love is.”

Comparing the time when Raven sacrificed herself to now, the difference was truly worlds apart.

Unlike back then, when he always seemed determined to kill everything in sight.

Right now, I really like the way people radiate positive energy.

“You want me to leave a review? No, what kind of travel story is this?”

A change that makes you wonder, “Can a person change this much?”

As I watched the changed sweets, I couldn’t help but feel more and more curious.

What the heck is that Yas?

It’s amazing how people can change so dramatically.

There is no paradise where you run away.

That saying I saw somewhere was right.

I came to Inbang to avoid the Yas bait in the community.

Sweet’s return to the show was also filled with all kinds of Yas talk.

GG. Declaration of Surrender.

Deciding to return to rest, I went into the capsule.

***

A disaster that has struck the PC gaming industry.

On this floor, Akare was called that.

Since the advent of virtual reality and capsules, PC gaming has been in rapid decline.

Still, the PC gaming industry hasn’t completely collapsed.

Sales are down and the number of concurrent users is at a standstill.

If you think positively, it was a situation where only half of the prize was lost.

So what can they do?

I have already experienced that it is a level that cannot be compared to competition.

An overwhelming difference that cannot be overtaken.

There is only one way to close that gap.

It’s better to bring down a successful opponent than to improve yourself.

And Akare is a game made in South Korea.

It is impossible to avoid the laws of the Republic of Korea.

Finally, the biggest issue recently is Akare’s favorability system.

Although it is said that only those who have been verified as adults can experience it.

What kind of country is Korea?

It is a country that regulates adult content for adults.

Naturally, Akare’s actions are bound to be seen as a thorn in the eye of a certain group.

That particular group was already prepared to shoot Akaré.

Are you saying that having sex with Raven is censored?

Yeah yeah

Are you a retard? You’re touching Akare now.

Information) The Gegwanwi has always been a cripple

―――

Regulations on violence and obscenity due to excessive realism.

“Combat in virtual reality dramatically increases human aggression”, even according to psychology experts.

It was a predictable repertoire, but it was a repertoire that had never failed.

It’s literally a no-brainer.

Casting this meant only one thing.

The complete collapse of the Akashic Records.

But public opinion did not go their way.

―――

[Title] But is there no response from the National Assembly that is suspicious?

It is often said in Korea that 2D characters have higher human rights than real people.

Looking at the public opinion fluctuating now, it seems like that story was true.

As soon as I tried to regulate Raven, a 2D character.

All communities have achieved unity.

Because the celebratory atmosphere began to change as the celebratory flags were set.

To be honest, it’s because the Gegwanwi did something that was the most retarded thing ever.

Yeah lol

These guys just don’t have any sense

It looks like he got bribed for it at first glance

Akare has already established itself as a game enjoyed by people all over the country.

Even without that, Akare was the first game to feature virtual reality technology.

The first virtual reality.

That’s because Aurora only develops games with this.

In fact, virtual reality was like a dream technology with infinite potential for use.

In a situation where numerous countries, including several advanced countries, are already sending one-sided love calls to Record Eye.

It’s fortunate that Record Eye is in ‘Korea’.

You messed with the quiet, well-behaved record kid?

What if this incident sends Record Eye overseas?

If we put virtual reality technology and the game console on opposite ends of the scale,

Naturally, the balance had to tilt towards virtual reality.

“Ugh···.”

As I watched the series of events, I rested my chin on my hand and tapped the desk with my index finger.

Even during my time as a hero in another world, there were plenty of people who tried to harm me.

It was common for the Crown Prince to step forward and handle things himself without even having to go to my level.

The crown prince is very busy these days due to his busy work schedule.

It pricked my conscience to ask you to do such a chore.

“I got a good idea.”

The second half roadmap showcase that was announced is just around the corner.

The crab that had already touched me was half dead after being hit by rocks thrown by the public.

Does that mean what they did to me goes away? It didn’t.

It was obvious that they would not reflect on their actions even if they were criticized by the public.

I guess I’ll just say I was unlucky this time and move on.

It was necessary to properly imprint it at least once.

I am not a fool who just gets taken advantage of.

***

The moment has come for the second half roadmap showcase.

The corporate party gathered at Daehyeop Kim’s house to watch the showcase.

Suzuka, a virtual YouTuber, had no choice but to not attend…

Instead, he appeared on Daehyeop Kim’s broadcast wearing a cute rabbit mask.

“Everyone, do I fit in well with you?”

Now it was Suzuka waving her hand at the awkward cam screen.

“What new regions and other things are coming out today?”

“The new area is now the elf homeland.”

“Elderheim.”

“Oh, right. That’s it. Maybe an elf-related job will come out?”

The ghost’s prediction was a reasonable inference.

Secret class that has not been revealed.

New professions coming soon.

One of the two would likely come out at the same time as the new region update.

“Daehyeop, have you been to Elderheim?”

“No, you can’t even get in?”

“You’ll probably be able to enter after the update.”

Currently, the main story has stopped at ‘Proof’.

Destroying objects of destruction, such as Raven.

Because the new region Elderheim has not been updated yet.

It was difficult to push the main story any further, and the same was true for leveling up.

Because there were no hunting grounds or dungeons within the empire where high-level users above level 60 who had completed their second awakening could level up.

“Start.”

The timer on the official broadcast’s waiting screen reached 0.

At the same time, the screen changed and the Aurora appeared.

-Hello. This is Aurora, the Akashic Records Director.

Judging by the Aurora’s signature uniform and laurel wreath, it was clearly a virtual reality.

– Before we take the time to announce the second half roadmap that will be updated in the future…

Aurora on the screen continued speaking in a dry voice, with a rare expressionless expression.

– I feel like I have to deliver some bad news to all of you who love our Akare.

Bad news?

The startled corporate party held their breath, waiting for the next words to be spoken.

– Recently, there have been a lot of issues at our Akare.

“”””Ah.””◦””

At Aurora’s words, four people sighed at the same time.

Several issues.

If you’re a community person, you couldn’t help but know.

– Akashic Records is a domestic game and must follow domestic laws.

The big corporate parties had a gut feeling at the same time.

The nuke falls.

No, something bigger than a nuke is coming.

– I don’t want to do it, but we can’t be the only ones getting special treatment.

Exactly-!

Aurora snapped her fingers.

At the same time, the giant screen behind Aurora became active.

[ Favorability System Reorganization ]

– We are planning to revamp the favorability system, which has been the biggest problem this time.

Exactly-!

Aurora snapped her fingers once more.

[ Cutscene of first achieving ‘Fate’ favorability deleted. ]

[Deleted interaction exclusive to ‘Fate’ favorability.]

[Restrictions on skinship interaction with Affinity NPCs.]

No more Yass with Raven.

Skinship with Raven is no longer possible.

This was tantamount to a death sentence.

– The same goes for Avatar.

Exactly-!

[Avatar ‘Shining Summer Night Swimsuit A’ modified.]

[Avatar ‘Shining Summer Night Swimsuit B’ modified.]

Modifications to the most popular swimsuit avatars.

The Before version of the swimsuit and the After version of the swimsuit shown on the screen were definitely different.

The area of bare skin has been reduced by more than 80%, and the avatar has become something that can no longer be called a swimsuit.

– Excessive violence is also a problem.

Exactly-!

[ Battle ‘Bloodstains’ changed to green. ]

[ Battle ‘Part Destruction’ mosaic processing . ]

[ Battle ‘Physical, Magical Strike’ mosaic processing. ]

Green blood splatters during battle.

Imagine a mosaic overlayed on the severed arm.

It was a structure that absolutely made it impossible to immerse oneself in it.

In a game where immersion based on extreme realism is the advantage.

How should I express this irony, that an over-immersion barrier has been created?

– A monster that is too disgusting? This is causing discomfort and disgust.

[Changed modeling of ‘129 types’ of monsters.]

A change in monster modeling that makes you feel like you’re fighting a real monster.

There were so many that only a portion was shown on the screen, but it made the viewer sigh involuntarily.

Because it felt like the atmosphere had changed from dark fantasy to something dark and gloomy.

– How is it?

“Uh···.”

“Um···.”

“Ugh···.”

At Aurora’s question, Daehyeop Kim, Sweet, and Suzuka swallowed their sighs.

The only remaining ghost took a deep breath and then shouted loudly.

“You fucking idiots… Woof!”

“Calm down, Brother Paegwi.”

“Gasp.”

“I don’t know···.”

Who on earth is going to handle this situation and how?

At that moment, a question arose in the minds of everyone watching the official broadcast.

The corners of Aurora’s mouth on the screen rose.

– These patches will not be applied in the next update.

? ? ? ?

A question mark appeared simultaneously above the heads of all four people.

– But maybe it could be applied someday?

If something really problematic comes up.

Everyone was dumbfounded by Aurora’s subsequent remarks.

The streamers I was watching with. And the users who were watching the official broadcast.

All of them.

Aurora was the only one smiling happily.
