Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

“Are you going to make a VR game with the IP of Daldongne’s novel?”

"Yes. Besides Chan-gyu’s novels, there are a lot of really good novels.”

I called Matop Electronics President Nam-ryong Jeong and Matop Soft Manager Lee Min-sik and said so.

In fact, except for artificial intelligence, they were two people who actually led the VR business.

“Let’s make a VR game by buying the IP of Absolute Throne, a top star manager, or a chaebol man who broke 10,000 paid for the first time in Daldongne.”

"Well···. Well, I wanted to do that too, but the manager told me first, so of course I have to follow along. I am OK.”

“I have no objections to anything else. If possible, I think there will be great games.”

The two first voted in favor of my idea and looked at them with anticipation.

So all of a sudden I felt a little underwhelmed.

‘Am I going to be able to keep the original feel?’

In fact, reading a novel reflects the writer's thoughts a lot, but the reader's imagination also exerts a great influence.

However, when it was made into a game and opened to the public and readers who read the novel.

If a game with a strange picture was born, completely different from what he thought, or it was reduced to a crude worldview by the shoveling of the developers...

'So you have to be good. Carefully.'

I was thinking of making a game that preserves the original feel as much as possible and reflects it as much as possible so as not to cause inconvenience to the original creators as much as possible.

'In addition to Absolute Throne, top star managers and chaebols are novels that can become a hit if they are made into games.'

They boasted a very good level of perfection in terms of story and characters, enough to be made into a drama or a movie.

'The Top Star Manager is a novel in which a manager who knows how to fortune predicts bad luck and good fortune in the future through fortune-telling.'

The novel that caused the 'entertainment industry' craze in Daldongne was that top star manager.

Like the Absolute Throne that made the abyss popular, the top star manager also led the trend in the entertainment industry and was already a famous work that was made into a drama or a movie.

‘The main character looked at the celebrities’ fortunes in various ways, such as tarot, hanbok, keynotes, palmistry, etc.

In particular, it was a novel in which he expanded his position within an entertainment agency by using his own skill of fortune-telling, and had a close relationship with the female idol he was assigned to.

‘And the chaebol family is crazy……..’

Absolute Throne, following the top star manager, it was a legendary work in the daleong neighborhood that caused a wave of waves with the keyword ‘chaebol’.

‘After 5 years, the paid record of the chaebol has not been broken…’

From the writers' point of view, a novel that was difficult to overcome, like a transcendental wall of 4 dimensions, was the chaebol family.

“It’s a novel that succeeds in revenge by being born as the son of a chaebol that ruined his company, and eventually swallowing up a group of chaebols while renewing his image.”

As it is a modern work, the novel that perfectly depicts the dramatic elements and the life of a chaebol family that people might have dreamed of at least once was the novel.

‘I’m not sure if this will work as a game, but I’ll try to make it as an experiment.’

I think it would be great if it was made into a drama or a movie, but I was a little skeptical when I saw it as a game.

‘But it can be surprisingly fun once you make it.’

It seemed like it would be quite fun to experience the life of a chaebol family in a virtual reality called VR.‘Yes, let’s make one.’

With that in mind, I turned on the VR production device and started coding right away.

This device was a bit different from a computer, literally, a device I made specifically for making VR games.

“Ariya. Did your honeymoon go well?”

"uh? Yes."

"It was fun? how was it?"

Ahn Ji-min asked Ari about what happened on the first night with a slightly sinister expression and urged him to answer.

The two of them are of the same age, and Ji-min Ahn helped prepare the wedding ceremony together, so they stopped talking and became friends.

“Joe… it was good.”

Ahri replied with her face blushing and bowing her head down.

Tuk!

“Master, I wish. boy.”

Ahn Ji-min patted her Ari's arm with envious eyes and ruffled her room. She knew how Ari was feeling right now, because she had been married to her in the past.

'It's the best time...'

She also had a kind and good husband, but she worked hard as a daily worker at a construction site, and she died in an accident.

'Poor man....'

She did not receive a penny from her compensation, even though she died in an industrial accident.

-Why is that our responsibility? At that time, Mr. Kim, the gentleman didn't even wear a seat belt properly and climbed a high place and fell, didn't he?

The warden yelled at Ahn Ji-min, who came to him, and said so.

As she had no knowledge of the world, she ended up doing nothing she could do when they came out like that.

‘Because we were uneducated people in the first place…….’

Unlike Arina Lee Jun-hyuk, who graduated from Korea's top-ranking elite courses, he was brought up by poor and intellectually deficient parents, ignorant of the physiology of society.

So, Ji-min Ahn had no choice but to go back and forth serving restaurants since her childhood, and she did not properly learn the basic knowledge that she should have accumulated before becoming an adult.

'If Ari hadn't helped her, she would have been in really bad shape...'

In fact, if I could die, I wanted to end my tough and harsh life earlier, but I couldn't because of Choyul-i, who would be left alone in the world.

‘After all, you have to endure this clenched fist, so a good day has come…’

She is very happy now.

Park Tae-jin treated all of her ankles, which was a chronic disease, and her skin and appearance were restored to as pretty as her former beauty at her matop plastic surgery.

And above all.

'Because I can raise Choyul in a good environment...'

She used to raise her daughter in a poor environment that leaked when it rained.

She doesn't have anything to eat every day, so she gets food from the street food court, feeds Choyul, and goes around looking for a job where she can sit down . . .

It was a really terrible and painful life.

However, after meeting Ari, everything changed.

'I got a house, I got a job, and my ailments were all healed...'

She is very happy with this condition now.

Lee Jun-hyeok was paying 10 million won a month for Ahn Ji-min to manage his penthouse.

The horse was the caretaker, the cleaning and the cook were already separate, and she took care of the interior flaws like a butler, and various household problems that a housewife could take care of.

'I'm really happy to be with Arine like this...'

In the past, people avoided her because she was poor and because she wore the same clothes every day.

The only people who approached her were wolves who wanted her body for her beauty.

So Ahn Ji-min had no choice but to be isolated from society more and more, and it was too scary and difficult for her to go out in the world.

“Mom!”

However, she now wears good clothes that she herself sells in department stores, and it was the same with Choyul.

“Did our Choyul play well?”

“Yes, Mom.”

Choyul also has a much brighter expression and personality than in the past. In the past, she was often teased and bullied by her friends because of her poor family circumstances.

So she was a child who always played with dirt by herself.

But, now.

“Choyul-ah, come quickly!”

There was a friend calling Choyul from afar.

"okay. Hang in there."

At the same time, Choyul patted her mother's hand, who looked at her with her dim eyes, and said,

“Mom, I’m going to play a little more.”

"okay."

Choyul ran back and forth again, and she went to her friend's place.

There.

“Sylph!”

She had a daughter, Sylph, of Ari.

Unlike her Ahri, Sylph was a very lively and playful girl. So, her personality led the introverted Choyul-i a lot.

'Maybe she was also active in her childhood, even Ari ....'

Looking at her Sylph, she could tell that she really resembled her Ahri just like her childhood.

‘Anyway, I hope that this daily life will last forever without breaking.’

Thinking so, she took Ari's hand and said,

“Ariya. thanks."

Ari turned her head to Ahn Ji-min, who suddenly said thank you.

"Huh? what?"

Looking at the bewildered Ari, Ahn Ji-min replied with a grin.

"just. All."

Then Ari followed Ahn Ji-min to eat.

“He. It’s refreshing.”

“Are you here?”

“Yes, chief.”

I came to see the land of Gyeonggi-do in the company car, a Rolls-Royce, with Jin-Kwang Yoo.

“Can we build a factory around here?”

"Yes. Since this is about 1 million pyeong, there will be no shortage of space.”

I was looking for a suitable site with Yoo Jin-kwang to establish a main factory that will produce next-generation VR devices.

'We will produce the core parts, and we should distribute the rest to our partners.'

As in the case of jewelry, pharmaceuticals, smartphones, and telecommunications, I was thinking of creating an industrial ecosystem where all the people can eat and live well, rather than an ecosystem monopolized by Matop alone.

As part of that, we left the easy products that others could make to others, and we only did what we could.

‘Even if that’s the case, it’s not going to be the best company in the world...’

The business we are trying to do now can also be a work to annihilate the existing game ecosystem.

‘The PC game, console game, and mobile game market are going to be shattered very quickly.’

These days, the mobile market accounts for almost 90% of the total gaming market, but that monopoly will soon be broken.

‘If a next-generation VR game comes out.’

VR wasn't a computer, it wasn't a console, it wasn't mobile.

It was just a new capsule device.

So, to play VR games, you had to buy an expensive capsule and connect.

‘Instead, if the existing game ecosystem is destroyed, a new ecosystem will be opened…’

A new game ecosystem reorganized by VR.

‘Individuals and developers alike compete equally in a fair system...’

In the current game ecosystem, the degree of exposure was determined according to the taste of the owner holding a huge platform.

In that case, in the end, only the pusher pushes, and the rest are deprived of opportunities in exposure, so they play from a different starting point from the start.

‘We have to break that vicious cycle...!’

Everyone is equal from the start.

Big or small, big or small.

So that the line is fairly lined up by skill.

I decided to create such a system.
