The God's Games

[ It's not that current technology is too advanced, it's just that only World of Eorera can pull off a holographic game like this. No other company has reached this level of tech yet. Highly recommend if you get into it. ]

[ How do I get in? ]

[ It's currently in closed beta test. All you have to do is sign up, and you'll receive the game equipment. ]

[ So, the game equipment is free? Does that mean there are a lot of in-game purchases? ]

It wasn't unreasonable for netizens to be cautious.

So many game companies use this kind of bait-and-switch tactic, so they are used to spot the issues and ask the right questions first.

[ No, no, there aren't any in-game purchases at all. Honestly, it's kind of strange. So far, there's no sign of how this game is making money. They've already distributed ten thousand devices, and still no hint of any payment model. ]

When they heard this, the netizens got even more excited.

What kind of god-tier game company was this?

Free equipment and no in-game purchases—how were they even making money?

Finally, someone pointed out a blind spot.

[ Even though there aren't any in-game purchases, didn't they run ads for <<Chupa Chups>> in the game? Maybe that's how the company makes money—through ads. ]

[ How much can ads really make? If there are too many ads, the game won't be fun anymore. ]

All these comments were seen by Kim Jung-hyun.

When he had some free time, he would often log in with his official account to browse around, answer comments, and address questions.

Today, with <<God's Games Online>> going trending, it was no different from a wave of free promotion.

Of course, he had to keep an eye on the players' reactions.

Although Hanjun hadn't asked him to do these things, Kim Jung-hyun felt motivated by the freedom, trust, and salary that Hanjun had given him.

Out of gratitude, he was willing to take on these responsibilities within his ability.

As he stroked his chin, Kim Jung-hyun found it odd.

Running an entire gaming company should be costly, but he had never seen any significant income.

The company's advertisements, which he had personally negotiated, didn't generate enough revenue to cover the costs.

If it weren't for the fact that the company had consistently paid salaries on time since he started working there, Kim Jung-hyun might have suspected that this was some kind of scam.

Shaking off the thought, after reading through the comments, Kim Jung-hyun couldn't wait to jump back into the game.

He also wanted to witness the legendary dragon by himself.

After all, this was a dragon!

~•~

While Kim Jung-hyun prepared to log into the game, Hanjun was rushing through the night.

He had finally made it back to Ulon City from the Royal City of Orinthia.

When Hanjun and his group arrived, the demon race had already retreated from Ulon City.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Unfortunately, the damage was already done.

The city had suffered significant losses.

The houses that were built by the players has been collapsed, the city gates were destroyed, and the devastation was extensive.

However, with Hanjun's return, hope came back to Ulon City.

Everyone line up on the streets to welcome him.

After such a fierce battle, the people of Ulon City had lost their sense of security.

It seemed that only Hanjun's presence could bring them peace of mind.

Hanjun greeted players and residents as he made his way back to the church, taking more time than usual to acknowledge their support. Your journey continues with empire

The church was especially busy at this time.

During the demon invasion, it had been the safest place, and all the injured people had been brought there to receive healing from the Church of Light.

Hanjun noticed Father Barry with a wound on his head, directing players to tend to the wounded resident who was lying on the ground.

Hanjun also saw Jenlyns sitting on the ground, leaning against a wall.

From the looks of it, Jenlyns was seriously injured; his knight's armor was charred black.

The commotion caused by Hanjun's return was so big that everyone knew something had happened.

Under their gazes, Hanjun stood before them.

Their once bitter faces lit up with joy when they saw him.

In their eyes, Hanjun was like a savior.

As long as he was here, the demons wouldn't dare act so recklessly.

Hanjun gave them a warm smile.

On the other side, Father Barry heard the commotion and turned around to look.

When he saw Hanjun standing before him, a look of relief spread across his face.

Things had happened so quickly that Father Barry hadn't even had time to organize a counterattack or investigate why the barrier had suddenly disappeared.

He had been forced to hold the line and defend the church area.

But now that Hanjun was back, Father Barry believed that with Hanjun's presence, the current crisis could surely be resolved.

Hanjun stood before Father Barry and looked up slightly, saying, "Father Barry, you've worked hard."

Father Barry's wrinkled face beamed with pride, but then he recalled the disaster that had befallen Ulon City, feeling that his own poor management had played a part in the catastrophe.

He regretted not noticing the signs of trouble earlier.

"Holy Son, it's my fault…"

Hanjun didn't give him a chance to continue.

He stepped forward and embraced Father Barry.

In order to accommodate his height, Father Barry had to bend down slightly and offer his arms for the hug.

Hanjun said, "This wasn't your fault, Father Barry. The important thing is that you're alive."

These simple words immediately silenced anything Father Barry had wanted to say.

At the same time, Father Barry was deeply moved by Hanjun's concern.

Since Hanjun had spoken, Father Barry decided not to dwell on the matter further.

Instead, he led Hanjun around the church, comforting the wounded and assuring them that they were now safe and had nothing more to worry about.

Seeing that Father Barry hadn't been severely injured in the attack, Hanjun breathed a sigh of relief.
