Sam logged out. Inside the game, she was mentally and physically exhausted after those round of nourishment. However, after she logged, she felt refreshed, like she has a good night of sleep.
'Honk! Honk!
She gradually walk toward her window and look at the sunrise setting out between the mountains.
She chose the location of her house, in the middle of busy street of the City and a Mountain looking scenery.
Every hour inside the fantasy game is equivalent to one hour outside.
Same with Earth, the game has different timezone so that every player could be accommodated. In some sense, the game itself is like a fantasy Earth-like planet, with different places and countries.
Sam chose her starting village in which the time zone is 12 hours late compare to Earth's time. She plans to play every night while working every morning.
Additional magical ability of the capsule, which was stated in its handbook, is the ability to induce sleep comfort when playing games. Lot of players who play the game feels like their brain still feels refreshing even they play 24 hours straight time.
The capsule also monitors the health of the players while playing, and if they are hungry, need to pee or take a dump, they would be alerted by the system, and would be automatically log-out if they insist to continue playing.
So even gamers are playing inside the fantasy land, they tried to monitor their real body. If they are doing a quest and suddenly a warning of these would f**k them up.
Furthermore, another amazing discovery is the nutritional ability of the game. No one could come up with logical reason, and lots of discussion and negative feedbacks have been given to the company. But, they assured everything is alright. They can't tell the general population on How, but they assured every one.
If you eat foods, drink water, pee and take dump, you seemed you also do it in the real world.
Although lot of them didn't believe it first, as the few month of the game operation, lot of gamers officially swear that this features is true. Some players who play the game inside and willing to be the expiriment subject, were not malnourished or having any ailment while playing it into 3 days straight, without eating or peeing outside the real world. Doctors even examine them after they logged out and all vital signs are normal.
So if the system warns you to eat or pee, you could do it inside the game to avoid the expulsion.
Then the Game officially blooms. And the player's population increases dramatically.
However, the parental features of the game also states that for under 18 age children, they could only play for about 24 hours straight and must a cooldown of 12 hours before they could play again.
This is not for health reasons, but they felt that children must at least grow normally in the outside world. If they could not impose this rule, with the high technology of nourishment inside the game, they believe that children would just play around for many days inside the game.
This is the reason that Sam feel she needs to cope up with this trending game.
If the game really serves nutrition even they are playing into the fantasy game, it feels that the trend of food industry outside would started to decline (but not extinct). There are still lots of customer outside. However, active players are not just thousands but millions. This surge of population would provide lots of opportunities in this kind of industry
After taking a little break, Sam went to the shower room to start her new day outside the real world.
------
Inside a seemingly high technology room, lots of big screen are flashing every second. A line of white cloth people were taking data and reports.
On the highest seat, a blonde girl, wearing a round glasses is observing the biggest monitor installed.
She puffs her smoke while enjoying the video.
Inside is an ordinary looking boy with a brush and a paper confronting a class C+ Spirit Beasts, the Dark Tentura.
Dark Tentura
Evolution line from Spirit Squid
*A dark type spirit beast with powerful ink spray and sturdy body.
The Dark Tentura is almost 10 meters tall, and its tentacles were almost 30 meters. Having a dark element type inside, its body seems a giant shadow and its attack can't be seen by a naked eyes. It looks profound in sneak attack.
Its tentacle is swaying and attacking him while he dodge calmly. Although its physical attack is strong, and he was a little bit far towards it, he's still calm.
'This attack is not your best attacks. If you would not be serious, I can easily capture you' King said. The ordinary looking man calls himself King_Piranha
King_Piranha
Nationality: Korean
Age: 28
Gender:Male
Spirit: Brush
Passive: Elemental Absorption - skills using element magic are 10% effective.
His passive force him to go into mage route. However, his next 3 skills were a little bit unnatural.
F-Class:
Ink Power (No attribute)
- Creates an unending ink for the user.
A simple ordinary skill but he force it into a powerful route
E-Class:
Beast Mirage (Spatial, Illusion)
- Beast drawn with Ink Power could be summon into limited time. Beasts attributes would depend on the users level.
King acquire it while expanding 2 weeks search around his starting village. He even done chain quest so that the knights in his village would help him acquire this skill.
It came from a spirit beast with a dual type Spatial and illusion beasts. Although this beast is only a high class E-Class, almost breaking into D-Class, its potential is limitless. However, King killed it and captured its spirit.
Going back, King suddenly grab 3 elemental light stone while dodging. Pure, white lights emit around it. He look at it and his face looks in pain. He crush the first stone into powder and put it into a paper scroll. Then, his spirit brush suddenly appear.
If someone would look it attentively, it is just a normal painting brush, a little bit bigger handle, with a plump head. It looks almost identical to Chinese Paint Brushes.
The tip of his paint brush has liquid inks dripping due to his first skill.
Then he starts to draw snakes. It was so fast that people would think he's a human printer. Unusually, the blank ink turned it white.
'So his ink could be fused into different element'. The blond girl who watch the video muttered.
Then King shouted, 'Entangled it!'
The 4 snakes he draw suddenly became huge.
'Slither... Slither...
Then, the four snakes pounce towards the Dark Tentura. Then he retreat a little bit and crush the remaining 2 stones.
'I hope, this is enough.'
Due to the nature of Dark Tentura, his sneak attack failed. Then, the Spirit Beast attack him while he dodges as much as possible. He used those four snake so that he could retreat and create more powerful beasts. His 3rd Skill, Element Paints activate.
D-Class: Element Paint (Elemental Attribute)
-This skill could be activated using elemental cores and items. Any element could be fused into Ink Power to create beast into the specific attribute of the material.
However, King learned a hidden power of this skill. If he could use better and higher quality of a material, the beast he drawn could use some magic skills. The highest magic ability he saw is E-Class. That time, his material is only mid-tier Class E material.
He rapidly draw a simple sword. However, he seems slower compared earlier. He needs to maintain a very precise and clear strokes in this image. While using his 2nd skill, he observes that concise drawings are little stronger compare to his simple crude drawings. It seems the beast quality is also affected by the drawing quality.
'Please conquer it, my Sword!'
Then a holy light suddenly explode from the scroll. A 2 meter sword appear. Like an intelligent being, it rapidly attack the enemy.
King, suddenly felt weak. That sword drains his Mana. He grabs 2 mana potions and drink it simultaneously.
'What a powerful performance' the blond lady said.
King and Tentura is still battling while the reports poured in his desks. These are short videos and explaination of different individual player that comes from her subordinates.
At the end, King wins. Even the beasts uses its powerful ink spray while retreating, it was still defeated.
King draws a big fan with light and wind element, and use it to blow those heavy inks. Then, the giant sword hurt it badly and the remaining 2 snakes entangles it.
'This King is really strong. His skill application is really flexible and could cope up easily. His battle awareness is also strong!' the blonde lady exclaimed. Her assistant beside her nod.
'Lot's of adventurers gives powerful performances'
'Yeah. I would chose a lot of dazzling performances for the upcoming monthly advertisement. It is truly amazing experience seeing human imagination and psychology.'
Then she browse different short videos. Among them, a player that could kill with 1 strike. An amazing group hunting more powerful beast, way above their level and skill, a single assassin that could give you shudders, a maniac necromancer, and many more.
'I feel this would become the Golden Age of gaming!'
