Unicorn
It may seem like a name of a monster or a mythical beast, but when most people hear the word, they recall the Unicorn Corporation
The sole coed Royal Road!
It was not an overstate in all the money in the world with the neorld they created The company owns enormous industrial clusters based on capsules andcost for Royal Road is deducted, their monthly profit is astronomical
Apart froe coe and video culture, tourism, leisure industries and much more
The company who developed the neorld created a rippled effect throughout the world, quickly expanding Unicorn Corporation
The ever important Royal Road
Royal Road, which almost all of Unicorn’s business were based on, focusednew users
It was in thebetween Unicorn’s core leaders
Jang Yoon Soo, the head of the long-ter
“Departive us sorowth rate of our current users?”
Departh the data, produced a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat off of his forehead With a sharp gaze, he stared at all of the
“Yes, I ae of Versailles’ Goddess”
Versailles’ Goddess
The naes the Versailles continent
Kiether with him to develop it
The AI who handled the creation of the Versailles continent and everything else in it
The real creator of Royal Road and the absolute ruler!
Now it could run fine on its own and it was si the AI run the continent The user reports by Goddess of Versailles could only be seen via Kiement department
“You probably already know this but What I ahly confidential company data, and in under no circueneral public”
“Family members included Therefore you can’t speak of this even to coworkers and subordinates From this point on, youhad already sworn to to secrecy as they caently nodded their heads
The topics to be discussed were so ie the Versailles continent These people were not foolish to be unable to recognize the chaos such information would cause if it were to be leaked
”Then I will begin The htly below level 430”
”There are exactly 890 players It is aeted towards players ide, not just Korea
The growth the game was favourable; however, the ame, there were users who played to see the end
Because of the involvement of such players, the history of the Versailles Continent had been altered several times
The Public Relations department and Operations department could not afford to not consider the tendencies of such users
The deputy of Foreign policy, Soo In Hae, as in attendance, raised her hand
“I have a question What level have users reached in countries outside of Korea, namely japan, America, and China?”
“They are still relatively low When Royal Road was in its infant stage, they didn’t have es of the islands and in the cities”
America and China were furious about Royal Road They just could not believe Unicorn Corporation had h Unicorn’s theory was meticulous and they had proven the reality of virtual reality, the Aative aspects
<tbody>
- The first true virtual reality Its still too early
</tbody>
Korea’s enterprise, an extremely unlikely announcement
Even Korean scientists think it a statement without any worth
Science is not a fraud
Anyone in the world could play Royal Road, but users froood head start
There were many users from other countries, but because they joined much later, they were quite far behind These users were often in smaller countries and islands in the middle of the continent, but because of the autoram, their respective countries were often not revealed
Everyone spoke the sain had no real e chuckled
“That’s a relief There is not even the slightest chance an En country”
“However you look at it, it see Yoon Soo’s lips
Royal Road
The Emperor of the Versailles continent would receive 10 of a oal of the entire ga Ees
The press focused solely on this immense prize money
However, there was another unique reward besides the money
5 of Unicorn’s shares
Scientists and researchers worked on the project, along with existing shareholders opposed to the idea The Systey depart it the reward
The one who becomes Emperor was bound to wield incredible power He would be able to destroy or create anything at will
Even the company who created an innovative economic system based on Versailles, Unicorn, would not be safe from the Emperor’s hands
Even the Goddess of Versailles would be unable to lawfully lay hands on the ruler
The emperor of the virtual reality world in which a multitude of users lived
It was a secret prize which was ier than the reward the public knew of
A conference was held in the early y, support for new technologies, and business partners
Nevertheless, the h leveled players, or guild leaders Instead, they focused earnestly on various other i Sil will elaborate Recently, NPCs frodom of the Horde have been popular for their cute appearances I’ve sent docuet a chance to look at the the production of popular NPCs”
“More and e for their vacations They’re becoarded because of its price, speed, and safety What do you all think about installing them on resorts?”
“Transportation in the resorts? Whether for , I think it would work out pretty well I will consider it”
It was a ht ideas
The heads of each departst themselves
As soon as breakfast ended, the ated
“Well the external balance of power on Royal Road needs to be exa stood up and turned on the screen in the middle of the room
The territory of each Guild, castle and toere displayed on thelike this: Central has 66, the East 10, West 8, South 13, and North 3”
Jang Yoon Soo pointed at flags on the screen which were placed in various places
“The East is unexpectedly big There’s a guild occupying the village whose h in level”
“Based on the new users, the kingdo, but the Orcs are responsible for the noticeable growth”
It was a grand sight—racesthe balance of power
“Frodo their own strength; in the West, there are only a few players, but, due to the escalating conflicts ste born At this time, the place needs to be focused is the center of the continent”
Departestured toward the center of the Versailles continent
The Kalladom were traditionally the powerhouse nations concentrated in the central continent
“Based on their political economy, the area was perceived to be capable of developrowth, incoions WeYoon Soo asked in a light tone
“Yes, how did you decide on those users needed attention?”
“It was determined by the users’ influence and player levels”
“Then that group must contain a lot of Guild leaders, nobles and Lords”
Even supervisor Jang Yoon Soo did not receivethe conference room research materials could not be taken out Soupon request
“That’s how it is Although there are soeneral, their influence is liious guilds of the continent”
Thetook a look at the data of the 149 afore of paper could be heard in the silentroom
This inforay and Systehly reliable
If one was to take a look at the docuenders
If one particular guild was notably uilds which ranked right below the guild will forainst it In sole country
Because of the large number of users in the Versailles continent, this was only natural
Whenever the balance gets disrupted, the weaker gets absorbed as the winner becoer side reat hich would upset such a tenuous balance, but there has yet to be a war so large, the continent itself would be forever changed
The chief of the company's development department, Ha Yun-Ji, looked doubtful as she read the file and spoke
“The power of Bard Ray and the Herher than I expected What are you basing this on?”
“You’ve asked a very good question”
All eyes slowly concentrated towards Son Il Jang
The , itself, had to be treated with the ut reports of all of the users’ activities, like brass trading or quest progression, was shared publicly, even with Unicorn Corporation However, this special report was only available for a few important, special people to review
In the report, it is a fact the military, financial, and the productive prowess of the Hermes Guild, as well as their territory and skills, were an overwheluilds of the Haven Kingdo user Ever since the beginning of the launch of Royal Road, he has been the best, and has established the Her and uild, but he quickly ascended back to the top position This is probably the first ti 447”
Everyone in the conference room dejectedly nodded their heads
Bard Ray’s level was a matter of course But they did not know there were thisstations and users estimated Bard Ray’s level to be around 410
However, the truth was he had passed his estimated level, and so had his competitors While they were not at Bard Ray’s level, it was a disparity which noruish
Even the people in the conference room were currently quite shocked at what they saw in the report
“The users at the apex are quite a Their individual power, not just their levels, but their usage of skills, actual battle senses and their practical ability ay above the grasp of the average user
The reason the videos of the so-called rankers gained popularity was because they were special The reason why, during the Joseon era, the warriors emulated those of the Goryeo era was due to their fast and efficient battle system
In anticipation of the difference in individual skills, they used a new eoning or stor a really well-made fantasy action movie
There was an assassin user who stordoht
Afterthe monsters feel fear, the user destroyed the castle, and raised his own flag frohest point in the castle It was the birth of a new castellan, and, through the video footage, created a large force
It was not a randomly occurred event, but it was not evident from the video, but it took a lot of preparation beforehand in order to conquer it in one go
“However their true fears lie elsewhere While there are users who enjoy going adventuring and fighting alone, e, and ruled over it Afterwards, they did not stop at political conspiracies and weakening alliances in order to raise their own influence Especially in the case of the Hermes Guild, they were open about theirtheir power The Herle to control the Haven Kingdom While we learned of this fact due to the inquiry, there are 3~4 guilds who have deep ties with the Her the couild not based on friendshi+p, but supremacy
Because of the tremendous value of virtual Versailles Continent, many users were after similar authority
The directors held their heads in their hands
“There are a lot of aoosebumps; hoere they able to do so much like this?”
Director Ki to be too surprised at We expected this ress ever since we launched Royal Road”
“”
“Didn’t everyone already speculate a virtual reality would create a world which would be reigned with supremacy?”
While they anticipated some of this, the users had bewildered them with their unorthodox behaviors
On the screen was a battle of the higher tier of users, but it was jaw-dropping It was so action-packed which seeainst , keen as a blade, and showed unparalleled skills and usage of their respective abilities
Originally, they thought it would only be a few particularly powerful or focused users, but in reality, there were quite a number of extremely talented ambitious users!
They were lost for words at Royal Road; the world that they created
“It is a neorld This is hoe must now look upon Royal Road And no matter what the ruler of Versailles is like, or whatever he does, he is invariably interconnected with us, and thus, we ”
Theto Ki repeated
“Bard Ray and other top level users does not release every information they have to the broadcasters and media stations If you look at all the publicly released data, they’ve limited it so that users will not feel too unnerved about see Yoon Soo groaned
“I really want to recruit them into Department of Advertisements”
The public appraisal of Bard Ray, he was a user who easily the supporting foundation of the guild
To think, even truths such as these were easily athered in the conference rooht up: there are about 149 people who control over 10,000 users through their individual strengths However, a those 149, there are about 13 users who shi+ne above the rest Like a giant, fiery wave, they are the strongest andusers In the future, there will be es, but in the present, out of the 149, we can expect a 70 chance of one of the as the E lasted until late at night
The discussion about the dynauild influence in Versailles continent was endless
So, the people who participated in theco Yoon Soo and Son Il Jang and Kim Han Seo remained
“Whew! It’s all over Good work, Section Chief Son”
“Speak nothing of it Youlike this, Tea pleasantries, they blithely drank so Yoon Soo suddenly recalled so and asked
“Director Son, a word if Ithis because there is a user whom I have a personal interest in, however, I saw his personal files were not included”
“There’s no reason for such situation to happen We have completed all the reports on the users who could become Emperor What is the user’s na about Weed, he's the user who seized victory in the war against the I had watched theYoon Soo
There was a tis were spread
“Weed Based on his personal level and influence, he was not included as a target of this investigation”
“As I expected”
Tearetful However, Director Kihed and said
“Even if Weed was to be included in the 149, he would have been the least powerful and influential”
“Really? How so?”
Kim Han Seo answered with a caloal”
Supervisor Jang Yoon Soo, who just couldn’t understand, continued to question Ki quests which astounds the whole world Do you realize the short a Royal Road?”
However, Even Son Il Jang was on the sah expectations of Weed”
”?”
“The truth is, even we, at the tactical h investigation, we found he participated in the recent historic Palrangka battle, and it seedom and back”
Kim Han Seo nodded his head
“I aick”
Every engineer in the Syste continued saying
“However, there is more I don’t know if he would do more quests which would impact the world That is all If you see the quests he has accomplished, his behavior, skill, and combat abilities at his core, he is si the God of War Weed is Morata’s Lord, no, a Sculptor?”
“This is data is over 99 trustworthy”
Tea Yoon Soo had received the shock of his life
Never in his wildest dreams did he ever muse Weed was truly a Sculptor
As a Sculptor, he rose to Hall of Fame in less than a year’s tiainst logic and was disputed
“It is very accurate The basic defense and ic-related skills he displayed are too feeble to clai up for it through his battle senses and battle-related abilities”
Tea Yoon Soo could not believe it at all However, Director Ki his head There was no other way, but to accept it
Because Director Kiure who had access to all of the information within Unicorn Corporation
“I see; it’s because he his profession is Sculptor, you don’t expect ”
