Chapter 4 (1/2)
While running to the north gate, Kang Joo-ho confirmed the other quests.
<Open Inventory>
Open your inventory!
Quest rewards: 3 random potions
<Open Character Window>
Open the character window!
Quest rewards: 3 random potions
They were simple quests, as the name suggests.
Kang Joo-ho first opened an inventory.
[You have completed the quest ‘Open Inventory’.]
[You have obtained three lower life potions.]
Then a potion appeared in the inventory along with the message. After that, Kang Joo-ho closed the inventory and then opened a character window.
Character Name: Kang Joo-ho
Nationality: Paraville Kingdom
Job: Beginner
Level: 1
EXP: 0%
Health: 500
Mana: 200

The beginning stats were no different from the PC version. The resistance was the same. All the resistance was 0% because he hasn’t done anything yet.
Kang Joo-ho closed the character window and opened the message window.
[You have completed the quest ‘Open the character window’]
[You have obtained three lower mana potions.]
“Nice!” He took a sigh of relief. He was worried he’d been given a vitality potion, but luckily he got a mana one instead.
Kang Joo-ho smiled while continuing to run and looking at the mini-map. He was about to reach the first gate. Fortunately, the northern gate was still quiet.
I must have arrived first, he thought.
Only soldiers were visible. It seemed he was the earliest to arrive. Kang Joo-ho approached the soldiers and looked over them.
Above the soldier’s heads were their names, such as ‘Paisson’ and ‘Rovas’ written in green.
Looking up, Kang Joo-ho thought, Is it different for each user? Developers, you can’t assign the first quest to a single guard.
He kept looking around. Why are there only a few users? Isn’t today the grand opening?
Unlike in the PC version wherein you could just click on the guard from a distance, you now had to approach and get near the NPC to talk.
So Kang Joo-ho approached the guard ‘Calam’ and greeted him, “Good morning.”
“Hello!” Calam answered Kang Joo-ho’s greeting with a gentle smile. “I am called Calam.”
[You have completed the quest ‘Tutorial!’]
[You have obtained an old iron sword.]

Nema Soft, the company that created the virtual reality game ‘Earth.’
“Are there any problems with the game?” asked Kim Yuri, general manager of Virtual Earth Operations.
“…….”
“…….”
No one answered Kim Yuri’s question.
Tap, tap, click, tap. Only the sounds of the mouse and keyboards replied to her question.
Kim Yuri smiled. Her expression was filled with satisfaction. She wanted nothing unusual to happen. Kim Yuri stepped forward and moved towards the seat of the vice-president, Yoo Jang-hyuk.
Yoo Jang-hyuk, like the others, kept his eyes glued to the monitor.
“What do you think?” Kim Yuri asked, and looked at Yoo Jang-hyuk’s monitor, where the screen was different.
Yoo Jang-hyuk, who had a different role from the other spectators, was in charge of the ‘special job.’
“I don’t have anything yet,” he answered.
To date, no user has attained a special job. They were working hard but still hadn’t achieved any significant breakthrough yet.
“It hasn’t even been an hour since the game launched, it’s like we’re chasing our tails,” Kim Yuri nodded and said. “But I was hoping with the player base in Korea I’d be able to find an amazing player soon…”
Special occupations were divided into two categories: low and high. And the standard was the difference from the general job. Compared to the general job, the reward system was based on the player’s performance.
The top-ranked special job was difficult to attain, and it was nearly impossible to change jobs because it was nearly impossible to collect the materials necessary for a job change. The only way possible to switch jobs was to wait for a special event to occur.
Unlike the top-ranked jobs, the lower level jobs were readily available from the beginning.They weren’t that different from a standard game objective, so they made them simple without any difficult conditions.
“I don’t know how many people will play today,” said Yoo Jang-hyuk.
Numerous users had started and were wandering around to find special jobs. At least they were seeing progress today.
“Please contact me as soon as a former user comes out.”
“Yes!” Upon hearing Yoo Jang-hyuk’s answer, Kim Yuri left and returned to her seat.
Yoo Jang-hyuk, who was left alone, looked at the monitor again and moved the keyboard and mouse.
There are about five things that players could discover today.
They were the following: the blacksmith of the battlefield, the sorcerer of the fire, the wind magician, the degree of the fuse of the street, and the conditions of the job change.
But what will be known first?
Yoo Jang-hyuk looked at the monitor with a smile full of anticipation.

Swoosh!
Kang Joo-ho swung an old iron sword towards the rabbit.
Swoosh!
The rabbits grazing in the grass could not avoid his iron swords.
