“···You can open your eyes.”

Daehyeop Kim opened his eyes immediately at Raven’s cool voice.

[Successfully made Raven jealous!]

[Acquired the NPC favorability emotion ‘Jealousy’.]

Kim Daehyeop’s gaze turned to Raven as he saw the system message appearing in front of him.

Like a dog trying to protect its owner from strangers.

Raven was wary of her rival Celestia, who suddenly appeared.

On the other hand, Celestia just looked at Raven and Kim, the great swordsman, with interest.

Kim Dae-hyeop broke out in a cold sweat at the sight of the two contrasting women.

Sweating in virtual reality?

Akare’s technical skills are truly amazing. As expected from Record Eye.

Kim, the great swordsman who had finished his surprise worship in his mind, grabbed Raven’s hand.

“···!”

“You don’t have to do that.”

Daehyeop Kim. He was a romantic who preferred pure love to a harem.

Did his sincerity get through to Raven?

Raven, who had become much calmer than before, clasped her hands together with Daehyeop Kim’s.

“Sharing sweet love is good. What should I do?”

Celestia, who was watching the two’s affectionate behavior with a puzzled expression, spoke softly.

“Elf is a creature born from the World Tree. The change in the mother also affects the elves. If we go a little deeper here, my compatriots who agree with the mother’s thoughts will try to kill you?”

Daehyeop Kim felt doubtful about Celestia’s explanation.

The fact that it affected the elves also meant that it applied to Celestia herself.

“Is Celestia okay?”

“What about me? I’m a mutant.”

Even though I was born an elf, I was always curious about the outside world.

Not only was he unable to communicate with the World Tree, the Creator, he was unable to even communicate with the spirits.

An oddball who was born with the appearance of an elf and is ostracized by his own kind.

“That’s me.”

“Then why did you come back to Elderheim?”

Celestia laughed at Daehyeop Kim’s question.

“What a stupid question. Where in the world is there a child who doesn’t visit his sick mother?”

With that answer, Daehyeop Kim seemed to have a rough idea of what kind of person Celestia was.

“I’ll go with you.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yes. We came here to solve the problem in the first place.”

“Huh··· The empire I remember isn’t a charity.”

For a split second, doubt flashed across Celestia’s eyes.

Because it was so brief, Daehyeop Kim and Raven didn’t notice it.

“Well, okay. It’s better with more people than alone.”

Exactly-!

When Celestia snapped her fingers, a crack appeared in the air.

The crack swallowed the magic engineering bike and spat out a green potion.

“Okay, take it.”

“This is···.”

Daehyeop Kim, who received the potion, used the sub-skill of the sub-job appraiser, Appraisal.

Daehyeop Kim had already changed his job to a sub-profession mercenary.

It was possible to change jobs into multiple sub-jobs.

[Special Mana Antidote]

*When used, removes all debuffs related to mana.

―――

“There is a barrier in the center of Elderheim. If a non-elf creature crosses that barrier, it will cause a mana backflow or mana overload. If you eat this then you will be fine.”

However, Daehyeop Kim was able to confirm that Celestia’s words were not false through her emotional skills.

Raven, who was not a player, did not erase his suspicious gaze.

“Jeong, if you don’t believe me, you don’t have to eat it. But don’t blame me, right?”

Celestia shrugged and took the lead.

Raven stared at Celestia’s back, quickly grabbed the antidote, and followed Celestia.

Thus began my strange journey with Celestia, the wandering elf I met at the entrance to Elderheim.

[Akashic Record Gallery]

Akare tends to have a lot of content added at once.

As the Elderreach raid began in earnest, the cultists appeared.

This time, Bard has appeared ahead of the update for the new region, Elderheim.

According to the second half update showcase, the new occupation, Spirit Master, will be updated soon.

The sheer volume of updates cluttered the AkaGal, but it was better than having too few updates.

―――

[Title] Has the identity of the first person to discover Bard been revealed?

(Video of Lee Hyun-woo busking at the Capital Square)

He said he prepared to be his own personal singer-songwriter.

He sings really well, so all the female users gather around him

Isn’t that guy a hearing-impaired singer-songwriter?

Who is that?

N (article link) It’s this guy

I came back after reading the article and the military is fucking awesome lol

The provision of defective earplugs for shooting training is

It’s been 10 years since I was discharged, but the military is still the same?

By the way, Karma and reality are exactly the same, damn it

When I see things like this, the military really needs to be normalized.

―――

Video of Bard and Lee Hyun-woo busking in the capital city square.

As the video spread widely, Lee Hyun-woo’s past was naturally brought into the spotlight.

Whenever an incident related to the military comes to light, the male community is always the one to blame the Department of Defense.

This time something was a little different.

―――

[Title] Even the first generation is fighting in the military?

(Akare related female community opinion meme)

Whenever a military-related issue arises, don’t you just make fun of the Yeocho?

Why are you guys suddenly like this?

If you go to the capital square now, you’ll know lol

What’s going on?

Just go and you’ll know right away

I can’t log in because I’m at a company. Please tell me.

You can think of it as almost a mini concert

Lee Hyun Woo is shaking hands with all the female users

―――

Akare is a virtual reality.

No matter what you look like in reality, you can become whatever you want in Akaré.

Even if you don’t take care of yourself, you can borrow the body of a pretty character.

Based on this, you will gain some confidence.

In reality, I was also able to challenge myself to receive fan service from an alpha male.

A handshake or a light hug from Lee Hyun-woo. That alone was enough to make a woman’s heart flutter.

―――

[Title] If we compare this situation to the Aurora

(Aurora meme live in reality)

This alpha female is exactly like this in Akaré

It means hugging and shaking hands with the Do-tae Ka-bungs.

Sometimes, comments like ‘I love you all’ are a bonus, yeah…

This means that it is not a broth and cannot be eaten.

I understand it all

Yeah lol

Yeah, that’s a good analogy.

Just imagining it makes my brain grow bigger…

Oh my god, Kabunga

It is possible to squirt 10L of broth right there.

Crazy kidㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Even amateur Lee Hyun-woo provides fan service, so what does this b*tch Aurora do?

Yeah lol

At least turn on the broadcast

Nfera two year old diving explore f*ck

What does that mean?

Nfera=mmm

N (hey hey cone)

―――

This incident showed new possibilities for Akare.

What if we combined the entertainment industry with virtual reality?

An idea that commonly came to the minds of people in the entertainment industry who saw this situation.

The appearance of Bard brought a breath of fresh air to Akare.

***

All day long, I repeated the task of giving divinity to the capsule.

From capsules already on the market to prototypes based on new models.

We did everything by hand, and even tested it to make sure there were no side effects.

“Whoa···.”

It’s hard. That was the thought that came to my mind as soon as I finished my work.

Well, I don’t regret my choice yesterday.

Rather, I think I’m doing a good thing, so I guess I feel a sense of accomplishment.

I stopped my habitual attempt to access Akagal and checked the piled up emails.

Checking my email every time I finish my work for the day has become a habit.

‘There are hundreds of emails from some agency.’

The content of the email was ‘Request for permission to work as a celebrity in Akare.’

“Do you usually get permission to do things like this?”

Starting with the countless streamers streaming Akare right now.

There’s a whole truckload of people uploading Akare play videos to YouTube.

I wondered if there was a reason to get permission for something like this, so I did a little research.

‘There’s some talk about copyright.’

It seems that they first asked permission from the game company to avoid any later complaints about this kind of thing.

Since everyone else was doing it anyway, there was no reason not to allow it.

After sending a general email giving permission, I logged into AkaGal.

After going to the comments page, I checked the ones with the most recommendations.

“Ah, so that’s why the agency email···.”

I could see why the agency had sent hundreds of emails.

“The story is progressing well.”

The Elderheim story begins with the emergence of elves who sympathize with the ideas of the Twisted World Tree.

And we’ve even made progress towards encountering less affected elf guardians like Celestia.

The Elf Guardian was considered handsome even by elf standards, so he was especially popular with female users.

‘Are you still busking?’

Judging from the latest post on Akagal, it looks like they’re still doing it.

If you busk for more than half a day, you’ll definitely get tired.

‘Let’s go once.’

What’s there to worry about? I’ve already finished work for today anyway.

I switched to spectator mode and moved to the capital’s square.

“Really, I’ll go for the last encore! I can’t do it anymore!”

In the center of the square, a man shouting at the crowd smiled brightly.

A bright atmosphere. A voice filled with excitement. Eyes filled with passion.

The main character in the sad story was nowhere to be found.

I was going to just sit back and watch, but I changed my mind.

After disabling spectator mode, he immediately used invisibility magic to hide himself.

In that state, he bestowed protection on everyone present, including Lee Hyun-woo.

―――

[Special Memories of Protection]

*I hope this moment will remain a special memory for everyone.

―――

Compared to its name, the effects of Gaho were ordinary and unremarkable.

To soothe the hearts that were tired from busking that lasted half a day.

Just enough to help you turn the present into a beautiful memory.

‘I wonder if it would be okay to show myself.’

I know there are many people who want to see me in person.

The reason why I didn’t do that was simple.

Because I wasn’t the main character today.

Groan groan-

There was a commotion once because of the protection I gave.

As Lee Hyun-woo’s last song began, the noise fell into silence.

I watched the stage from afar and enjoyed Lee Hyun-woo’s song.

***

“Thank you all so much for joining us today!”

Waaah-!

A response close to cheers. Hot air. A night sky filled with countless twinkling stars.

Lee Hyun-woo still couldn’t believe the miracle that happened today.

Especially after being granted the ‘Protection of the Shy’.

I felt like I was born again.

The only person who can give this kind of buff is that person.

Because I researched Akare separately during every break while busking.

Lee Hyun-woo knew very well who could perform such a miraculous act.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for giving me a miracle···.”

I’m sure you’re watching.

With deep conviction, Lee Hyun-woo called her name.

“I would like to thank Director Aurora! ”

Waaa-!!!

Long live Aurora!

The crowd that gathered to worship Lee Hyun-woo all chanted Aurora’s name in unison.

The person who was watching this scene hurriedly logged out.

I threw myself onto the bed, buried my face in the pillow, and kicked my feet.

Those who did not know this fact still worshiped Aurora.

It was a truly bizarre scene, but it seemed clear that this moment would remain a special memory.
