Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 1
◈ 001. GAME CLEAR
“woke up-!”
He shouted and stretched his arms upward..
The word 'CLEAR' appeared in large letters on the computer monitor in front of me..
I had just beaten the final stage of this game..
“Fuck! I woke up! I woke up! I beat this damn game.!”
Sigh, I was a little moved and even shed a few tears. Thinking about the hard work I had to do for half a year to crack this made me cringe even more..
Tower Defense & Dungeon Offense RPG, .
It's a classic game that's been out for over 10 years..
It is a game where you select and train heroes to protect the city and clear the dungeon in front of the city, and it claims to be a turn-based strategy RPG..
Place characters on the map and manipulate them one by one..
It was also famous for its hard difficulty level, as there was no way to save the hero who was raised with so much care if he died accidentally..
It was an old game that was quite popular around the world at the time, but has now become a classic. Why are you breaking this now?.
First of all, the first reason. This is because no one has yet cleared it on the highest difficulty level..
The highest difficulty level is ‘Hell’. There is an ‘iron man’ mode in which progress is forcibly overwritten and saved. It is a level of difficulty that is often abbreviated to ‘Hell Ironman’..
This game stores all of users' clear data on the server and ranks them. But no one broke the ‘Iron Man of Hell’.
There were people who cleared it in Ironman mode on Legendary difficulty, the lower level of Hell, and there were people who turned off Ironman mode and just beat it on Hell difficulty, but there have been no successes in Hell's Ironman yet..
But now, 10 years after the game was released, a successful person has finally emerged. Yeah, that's me.!
Isn’t it human nature to challenge unexplored areas?.
Like climbing to overcome an unconquered mountain. So I took on the challenge.
And the second reason.
- Wow, classic fanatic, you cracked this.
- Ssssssssssssssssssssssssss.!!
- Haha, I really appreciate the guts of a godek bastard.
- World's first
- You had a hard time for half a year ㅅㄱㅅㄱ
Chatting was pouring into the chat window of the monitor used for broadcasting and another monitor next to the monitor where the game was turned on..
I smiled happily while looking at the chat log..
“I said, guys? No matter how difficult it is! The game exists to be cleared!”
I am a game broadcaster, especially a broadcaster with the concept of playing only high-difficulty classic games. ID is a ‘classic fanatic’.
When asked if there are many viewers, this is surprisingly quite a number..
There is always content that sells memories. Suffering from high difficulty levels is always popular content..
The average number of viewers was about 3,000, but when it reached the final stage, it exceeded 10,000, and more viewers were flocking as news of the clearing spread spread..
[‘‘Mission Fairy’ donated 100,000 won.!]
- Even if I act proud today, I acknowledge it. I'll shoot it as promised
Regular viewers who had set a mission to donate money if they cleared it started sending donations one by one..
[‘‘Donggemmlie’ donated 50,000 won.!]
- No, I have to watch it for another half a year, but if I break it, it will be terrible.?
[‘‘Kamangboxja’ donated 10,000 won.!]
- buy this; I made this mission thinking it was a safe asset;; I got hit
[‘‘A dog that barks whenever it sees boring broadcasts’ donated 30,000 won.!]
- I can't bark today, the old tree
“Oh my~ Thank you so much. I will continue to work hard in the future!”
Donations poured in, I said thank you and responded with comments, and the viewers were excited and talking..
The chat window was in a festive mood..
10Be the first in the world to clear a level of difficulty that no one has been able to overcome for years. Is there any other achievement as good as this as a gamer?.
Viewers who participated in this process were happy as if it were their own business..
- But it's so sad that the saintess died in the final battle. Even though she was an R-rated character, I carried her all this time.
- I couldn't help it... … If I didn't attract attention to party number 2, I wouldn't have been able to approach the boss.
- I screamed at the top of my lungs when my party was wiped out 3 times; It was the strongest pot that collected only SSR heroes, but it is dead.
- 1I was nervous because everyone at the party was split up except for the main character, Lucas.;
Viewers seemed to have grown attached to the game characters over the past six months and were saddened by the characters who died in the final battle..
This game uses in-game currency to ‘select’ heroes and raise them..
Randomly select and train heroes classified into SSR-SR-RN grades through a grade system..
Each viewer had a different favorite character, and they watched the broadcast empathizing with their favorite characters..
From strong and cool SSR grade characters to characters that are N grade but show outstanding performance..
‘In the end, they all died…….’
I laughed bitterly. This damn difficult game had a structure that made it impossible to advance without sacrifice..
Still, I made it to the final stage by saving as much as I could, but in the end, everyone except the main character died in the boss battle..
Well, my goal wasn't everyone's survival, but the ending.…….
- hey! All you have to do is wake up! You protected the empire!
- Link to the scene where our main character, Lucas, lives alone and defeats the boss >> Click here<<
- ㅁㅊ What a dog… … This is a joke
- Hey, this is the main character.
I also turned on the link video and watched it one more time with the viewers..
The main character, Lucas, threw a sword strike at the boss with his blonde hair flowing, and the final boss, ‘Sleepless Lake Princess’, who seemed like he would never fall, finally died..
When I turned off the video and returned to the game, Lucas was still standing there..
[LAST STAGE - CLEAR!]
[STAGE MVP - Lucas (SSR)]
Behind the stage clear results window that spreads out.
In front of the boss mob you defeated, on top of the mountains of corpses of allies and enemies, endlessly.…….
“…….”
Why?.
Even though he was just a game character, his back looked a little lonely..
[Achievements achieved!]
[Clear in Hell Difficulty & Iron Man Mode - ‘Iron Man in Hell’’]
[Perks are awarded according to achievement achievements.!]
[Calculating clear ranking…….]
[Clear ranking updated!]
[World Ranking 1st - Player Name 'Classic fanatic’]
The rankings were updated, and as expected, I became number one in the world. Viewers congratulated me once more.
I quietly took a screenshot. click!
Next, the ending cutscene appeared, and a staff roll followed. I didn't necessarily skip it. I wanted to enjoy this lingering feeling.
- Shouldn’t the developer give Godeok some kind of award for this??
About halfway through the staff roll, one of the viewers said:.
- Even though I was criticized for making it impossible to break, I proved it by breaking it, so I have to give it something.;
- Oh, that's right haha
- If it weren't for the classics fanatic, no one would have been able to wake up.~
- Is the developer still in business? Someone please send me an email
I laughed softly.
“Hey, some developer is giving an award. I do not need it. I just wanted to have fun with you for half a year..”
- Even though he says that, Godeok’s eyes are shining with desire.
- Haha, I thought I would get something good if I gave it to him.
- Hey, I guess it went out of business? There is no company website... … Was it really ruined??
- Seeing as there hasn't been a next project for 10 years, I guess it was a success and a failure.
- So who is managing the Clear Data server??
While the viewers were talking about the topic, I was looking at the staff roll that had almost reached its end, filled with emotion..
A satisfying sense of accomplishment and a sinking feeling of emptiness, unique to clearing a game, was filling my stomach..
It was then.
- Hello, classic fanatic. I am the director of.
Suddenly a chat like this came up.
The chat window quickly became cluttered..
- Moyamoya Jjinim???
- Of course it's an impersonation. Haha, you naive people, do you believe that?
- I'm the listener who's been watching Nick for half a year now? He's a real director?
- Director, please give me Restraint 2 so Godeok suffers more.!!!
Surprised, I looked at the existing chat log of the ID that entered the chat..
He was the one who started watching the broadcast six months ago, when I started playing..
But I haven't chatted even once in half a year..
That person started talking to me as if he had been waiting for me as soon as I cleared the Hell Iron difficulty level..
- First of all, thank you. Honestly, I was giving up. I thought no one would succeed..
The self-proclaimed director continued the chat..
- But I was truly relieved to see this success. Thank you so much.
“No, what… … As long as you're thankful…….”
I scratched the back of my head shyly.
Whether this person was the real director or not, it felt good. I never thought I would get a thank you just because I beat the last game..
- I'm glad there's still hope for us..
“……?”
I blinked curiously..
hope? What kind of bullshit is that again??
Oh, and the company went bankrupt. So I was giving up, but seeing me playing the game gave me hope, or something like that.?
- You have proven your qualifications and abilities. Please come here and help us.
“Uh, um…….”
Is a part 2 being developed? Does this mean you are asking for help with beta testing? So come to the company?
The moment I open my mouth to ask something to that person who says something I don't understand.,
‘uh?’
The surroundings were spinning..
Am I getting dizzy from playing the game for too long?.
Actually, when I got to the last stage, I didn't eat or drink water. I think it took a few hours just to wake up..
The light from the dual monitors was scattered. The surroundings were spinning so hard that it even spun around..
The letters in the chat window and the black screen of the ending staff roll are mixed together..
I guess I overdid it too much. I even passed out while playing the game..
Still, if you collapse, viewers will at least call 119 for you, right? I collapsed with such carefree thoughts..
The last thing I saw before losing consciousness was.
- Thank you for playing.
- Thank you for playing.
That was the phrase written at the end of the ending staff roll..
And my consciousness turned pitch black.
