In God Wars, titles are awarded when you achieve achievements such as clearing quests, hunting monsters with unique abilities, or discovering new things, and runes are given as rewards for those titles..
The runes issued in this way permanently increase the player's abilities..
This was the decisive reason why the game God Wars became a game for top players, the haves and have-nots..
They had already achieved much superior specifications compared to the same level through such runes early on, and did not allow latecomers to challenge them..
Furthermore, top players strengthened their strongholds by exchanging information on how to obtain runes..
They made secret deals that only they knew about..
‘tutorial master?’
But now, one of those secret things was showing before Midas's eyes with its bare face..
‘There was something like this?’
tutorial master.
Even Midas, who has played God Wars above average, was hearing this title for the first time..
What was even more surprising was the effect.
‘All-stat rune? 10 points each?’
5 bonus points are given every time you reach level 1 in God Wars..
If you think about it, the merit is indescribable..
‘For wizards, physical points are essential..’
Moreover, strength and stamina were more valuable to the wizard class..
For the wizard class, who had no choice but to increase their intelligence and magical power with the bonus points gained by leveling up, the physical strength and strength gained through runes had a huge impact on their survivability..
Of course, the conditions for obtaining that much were tight..
‘He survived for 71 minutes.······.’
You have to survive for 71 minutes in tutorial mode..
As mentioned earlier, the tutorial mode was set up to cause players to experience a game over..
This means that no matter how hard you try not to die, you have no choice but to die in the end..
In fact, even if they tried to survive, average level players could only last about 10 minutes at most..
71It's not easy to survive.
‘It's really shameful.’
Moreover, the number itself, 71 minutes, was vicious..
‘It may take just an hour······.’
Let's say I survived for an hour out of curiosity and anticipation that a title might come out..
But there is no reward in 1 hour.
‘Even if I add 10 minutes just in case, it's still not 11 minutes..’
It's a shame I didn't survive after that, so there's no reward even if I survive for another 10 minutes..
You have to survive one more minute to receive a reward..
If everyone knows there is such a reward, they will rush at it more tenaciously..
But if you didn't know, no one would even try..
‘okay.’
That's why Midas prepared.
‘Let's give it a try.’
Then I heard a notification.
[the wall falls.]
With that notification, the wall imprisoning the 30 players collapsed and light began to fall..
Beyond the light, a lush forest began to appear..
The moment the field appears.
Big!
Wow!
And that was the moment when the orcs appeared..
5.
An era in which God Wars became the standard representing the value of all humans in the world..
In that era, many people wanted to play God Wars with their own hopes, dreams, and goals, and each time they did so, they always heard the same thing..
“God Wars, that’s ridiculously difficult..”
“Hey, don't do it. You're just wasting money.”
The first thing players realized about this was in the tutorial mode..
[Tutorial ends when you die.]
A stage where the real game can only begin when you die.
On that stage, players realize how difficult it is not to die from monsters with overwhelming specifications than themselves..
“Fuck, I'm going crazy.!”
And at the same time, I realize that dying is also very difficult..
Big!
“Get beaten to death by that monster?”
Oak.
His height is 180 centimeters, and he is a muscular monster that puts his height to shame..
It was a very familiar monster to modern people..
Through countless media such as movies, games, and novels, we are more familiar with orcs than dinosaurs that actually existed..
But being killed by that familiar monster was a completely different story..
“shit! I can not!”
“me too······.”
Those who experienced that fact for the first time had no choice but to instinctively face fear and terror about it..
“Wow!”
The beginners ran away like that..
Conversely, experts were different..
“Now let's go quickly.”
“There's no need to waste time.”
Those who had already experienced this game and experienced game overs several times rushed at the orcs without hesitation..
Big!
And I willingly allowed myself to be hit by the orc's fists..
Wow!
Some even claimed to have a clean game over by hitting their own heads accurately with the Orc's throwing fist..
“Wow, you hit the nail on the head..”
“My skills are considerable.?”
Some people expressed admiration at that fact..
That was the scene of the tutorial.
On a stage where you had to die to leave, the experts died faster than anyone else, while the beginners ran away and eventually met their inevitable death..
Of course, this difference was only between those who were skilled and those who were not..
The difference in original talent and ability came out in different ways..
“uh? Look at that person! Looks like he's trying to fight an orc.?””
“Fighting an orc in tutorial mode?”
Instead of running away from the orc that just appeared, the player took a stance and prepared for battle..
“That's it?”
that was crazy.
Players who start the tutorial are all level 1, have no abilities, and have no skills..
“That orc is a level 20 monster.?”
On the other hand, the Normal Orc that appeared before them was a monster that players of at least level 20 or higher could catch..
There was a difference between a cat and a wolf, if you were talking about wild animals..
Therefore, it was the most obvious way to show the difference in skills..
“I will have my debut match today. Let me show you my skills.”
In other words, it was a way to prove one's worth in God Wars..
“Looks like they're filming a video.”
“Looks like he's an aspiring pro player.”
People's attention was focused on the player standing in front of the orc..
‘Look at this?’
So was Midas..
‘Aspiring professional player?’
Midas' eyes sparkled at the appearance of those who make a living as God Wars players and aspiring professional players..
‘Well, there's nothing like killing orcs in tutorial mode..’
There are three ways to survive in God Wars..
Either you're talented, you're rich, or you're lucky..
Here, money and luck were honestly not concepts that could be separately proven or shown..
Then all that's left is to show your talent.
The most suitable stage for that was the tutorial mode..
If you take a video of yourself catching an orc in tutorial mode, it will be a great business card to add to your application form for a guild or company..
In reality, there were a small number of players who joined famous guilds or companies through tutorial orc hunting..
There were also standards.
‘You can join any guild by catching just one. The moment you catch two, you will receive item support from the guild. If you catch three, you will even receive support with food, clothing, and shelter..’
Treatment was different depending on how many orcs were killed in tutorial mode..
If you can catch three right away, you can be treated as a top prospect in any guild..
‘If you catch five, it will be your debut immediately..’
And if you catch more than five, you can debut through a guild or game company whose channel is always at the top on Warstube, not as a prospect..
As a celebrity, you can appear in a Hollywood blockbuster movie overnight with a casting salary..
Catching an orc in tutorial mode was such an incredible task..
‘Well, he won't be able to do it.’
Of course, in other words, most people just tried, and very rarely succeeded..
Because dealing with orcs is completely different from fighting or sparring with people in real life..
“Ugh!”
As Midas expected, the player who stood in front of the orc with excitement let out a gasp without even being able to properly respond to the orc's sudden charge and body slam from that charge..
A look of embarrassment was evident on the player's face..
Midas saw this and smiled to himself..
‘As expected, he didn't even know orc patterns..’
As I said before, monsters were different from humans..
From appearance to fighting style!
Against such monsters, you must use a method appropriate for that monster..
‘The Orc's basic attack pattern is a rush. But what if you suddenly stand in front of me and start boxing??’
For example, in the case of orcs, the basic attack pattern is a rush type..
In the first place, the extremely massive body of the orc makes detailed combat impossible in close combat..
So what came out was a rush.
‘Once your body collides with the other person, you move on to the next pattern..’
Therefore, the starting point of all Orc attacks is collision..
‘Unpredictable dog fight after collision.’
Once the conflict begins, the orcs will attack randomly..
It was virtually impossible to read and avoid the orc's attack that started like that..
There is no choice but to avoid it through innate talent and the instinct that embraces that talent..
‘In fact, if it crashes, it's over..’
In other words, the rush itself can be predicted and predicted as much as possible..
1time and 11 minutes.
It was the only option Midas could choose to survive against the number of orcs in this forest for such a long time..
‘Avoid as much as possible.’
Avoid the orc's charge at all costs.!
With that thought in mind, Midas had only one task in mind..
‘The problem is timing. If only I could catch the signal that the orcs know me and attack me.······.’
It was that moment.
‘huh?’
In Midas' eyes, a green light began to appear as the orc's head..
And at some point the light began to turn red..
‘uh?’
At that moment, the orc rushed towards Midas..
6.
someone said.
“Every game has a strategy..”
That word was also used in God Wars..
There was a pattern to all monsters in God Wars..
If you go a little deeper, the phases of the monsters change depending on the situation, and there are different patterns for each phase, and there are some irregularities in those patterns, but in any case, it is not wrong to say that there is a simple pattern. It wasn't.
Anyway, in other words, all monsters in God Wars had patterns and of course there were ways to attack them..
“Of course, that doesn't mean you can catch that monster..”
The problem is that it is very difficult.
The reason it was difficult was simple.
The game God Wars is very difficult to control..
Common sense tells us that operating a game using a mouse, keyboard, or gamepad cannot be the same as moving one's body in virtual reality..
Even more so if you have to catch monsters that you have only seen in your imagination.?
Experience and knowledge accumulated in reality are virtually useless..
“In the end, only those who are born with it are caught..”
In the end, only those who were born with talent or had something else to replace that talent, such as powerful items or skills that made control a joke, had no choice but to leave behind results..
Midas, that was the reason why he was unable to produce proper results or leave a mark while playing games for 5 years..
But on the other hand, Midas never once gave up on the game even when he was treated as nothing special..
I did my best to reach out to subjects who had no talent, money, or luck..
Of course, there was only one thing Midas could do..
‘There are a total of 3 phases depending on the orc’s physical strength..’
Analyze and study the patterns of as many monsters as possible, create appropriate countermeasures, and then think about them countless times and engrave those facts in your mind..
‘In Phase 1, which appears when the dog's health is above 80%, the orc's attack starts with a rush if the distance from the target is more than 3.3 meters..’
Midas tried so hard that his mind became tattered from repeated imprints..
‘When charging, if the distance to the target is less than 3.3 meters, do not lower your posture..’
In particular, Midas, whose only talent was hitting the target, could honestly say that he invested more time than anyone else in God Wars when it came to analyzing the monster's movements..
‘On the day I first conquered the orc colony, I had a nosebleed trying to memorize this strategy..’
It was truly a miserable investment..
In the end, the investment proved more clearly than anything else that Midas was incompetent..
An investment that no one can boast about.
‘I never thought it would help so much.’
But now, that investment was of indescribable help to Midas..
30 minutes into the tutorial, Midas was running away from as many as four orcs..
What made it possible was none other than the traffic lights above the orcs' heads..
Traffic lights that could not have been seen as they were, those lights gave Midas information in real time..
‘A green light means there is no aggro..’
When it is green, it is in a peaceful state without showing any aggression, and you will not be attacked in any way unless you approach within the recognition range..
‘Yellow is a tense state looking for an attack target..’
In the case of yellow, the recognition range has expanded as it moves in search of the attack target..
‘Red is evidence that they saw me as a target of attack.’
The last red was literally an attack signal.
The funny thing is, that's not all..
‘And the number above your head is your HP.’
In Midas' eyes, not only the orc's pattern situation but also the orc's abilities were confirmed..
‘The only item I have is leather..’
It even showed a list of loot items that could be obtained by killing orcs..
A situation where real-time information about monsters is delivered to Midas..
And Midas's mind was filled with ways to respond appropriately to such information..
Because Midas was able to speak clearly.
‘can do.’
You can do whatever you want today.
‘you can do it.’
For Midas, it was the first moment of complete confidence in his long life..
