BJ Archmage

Chapter 11

1.

There were many reasons why players paid a large amount of money to play God Wars.

Starting from the fact that until that moment, there was no proper VRMMORPG except God Wars, now someone’s worth was decided by their God Wars play, that the whole world only bragged about God Wars.

“God Wars? To be honest, I just want to taste what it’s like to use the skill.”

But if they should choose one among all reasons, most of them will choose one skill.

They could only do that.

“You should bring a good item so that when you fight against a monster the feeling will be different, but skill is different. It feels like you became a Marvel or DC Comics hero.”

“It’s a world where people can’t stagnate and turn into oil but even so when you leveled up, and you learn new skills and tasted how you use them, there’s no way you can stop. To be frank, what does anyone who exists above me know? In God Wars things that can’t be done in real life can be done.”

“In real life, no matter how rashly you act you can never fly in the sky, in God Wars anyone can fly in the sky if they work hard enough. Of course if you want to do it without any funds, an incredible amount of hard work will be needed.”

Because it had been a long lasting dream of humanity to be able to do something like this on a stage that’s similar with the reality in this universe.

It was one of the biggest reasons why people would willingly pay in God Wars.

Skills were God Wars’ core part.

“That’s why a skill card is hella expensive.”

A skill card that seemed very useless, why the hell they would make this kind of skill card and spend money like crazy? Those kinds of words came out as it cost at least hundreds of thousands of won.

In the case of a legendary level skill card, it was impossible to negotiate the price.One could only with a barter of a skill card with the same level or a similar item.

“To be honest, it’s only possible for an extremely rich person to purchase a skill card and use it.”

Fortunately in God Wars, there was a way to obtain a skill without purchasing a skill card.

“In the end most players can only practice a skill using a skill card that’s given when they leveled up.”

In a case where one achieved a milestone level or secured a special title, in a case where one had conquered a quest, they would be able to receive one skill card that was impossible to trade from the God that they served.

“This is of course a very good system. To pick only random ones I mean.”

The problem was that one should only rely on good fortune to do that.

“To be honest, it’s an impossible thing to hope for the skill you want to show up among 100 cards.”

That also not like a college entrance exam where someone should choose one among five choices but they should choose one among as many as one hundred choices randomly.

To that reality, as expected, Midas had seen countless blood until now.

‘I hated this card picking the most.’

When the opportunity to pick the card came after he leveled up with difficulty he prayed to RNGsus sincerely.

He begged so a skill that will be helpful will come out.

Of course, after trying hard to pray the result that he obtained was only as much as his hand had chosen.

‘It was because I could only sincerely pray even though I know I wouldn’t make it.’

Even so he always prayed.

Midas, because to him there wasn’t anything to rely on except God.

To Midas who had a life of extreme poverty he prayed sincerely for that kind of things.

‘Even though it’s damned.’

Those were indescribably miserable days.

‘Although now, I don’t need to do that kind of damned thing anymore.’

Now he didn’t have to pray by hoping for luck that the one he wished for will come out.

Because it was seen.

100 cards, because the skills that laid behind the cards were clear as crystal.

‘Now, what should I choose?’

The thing that Midas did was to choose one of them.

As expected, it wasn’t hard to choose.

‘For now let’s exclude the normal level.’

Soon he ignored the cards that didn’t shine any color.

‘Really the rubbish ones mixed very well. There are 90 normal cards.’

Only by that his choice decreased to 10.

‘There is not even one unique card.’

‘Among these there are three attack magic.’

Even so he didn’t think too long.

‘Among those three there’s only fireball that I can properly use immediately.’

Fireball.

To say it honestly the other skill cards didn’t have any meaning to Midas except that skill card.

Fire wizard, it was because it’s the occupation Midas did for more than 5 years in God Wars.

‘It’ll be easier to get back into my groove.’

Because of that for him it was rather the best situation for a fireball to come out.

‘It’s because there’s no need for me to practice to adapt myself with this new skill.’

It was because he had already well-informed about everything related to the usage of fireball perfectly.

When the incident happened there Midas’ hand was already aimed to the fireball skill card.

[You have acquired Fireball.]

Midas, it was the moment when his first skill was held in his hand.

‘Ah.’

That moment the days that his old character spent to be able to hold the fireball skill on his hands came across his mind.

‘At that time I was really going through hella hardships to obtain this……’

Those days were the days where God Wars just started the service. It was to the extent where it was impossible to purchase it with money since trading in-game items for real money was prohibited.

It was when those who obtained Fireball through card picking were only a few.

And then after fireball had been acknowledged as a very important skill it was a situation when the customer exploded.

In that process the quests where someone could receive the fireball skill card could be found with difficulty.

‘Even so, I wouldn’t be able to obtain it without any help.’

‘If I’m not a former baseball player I wouldn’t be able to receive help as well.

Midas invested his title as a former pro baseball player, it was because it made him as a useful player to the party who would be able to help.

Of course, after that they relied on Midas’ level and when they found out they heartlessly left Midas.

To be exact, Midas didn’t chase them, and they didn’t wait for Midas as well.

‘This world is all like that, though.’

Midas dwelled on the bitter feeling that he felt at that time as a new skill information board showed up in front of his eyes.

Skill Rank: F

Skill Effect: Can summon a fireball.

A plain information board that he had seen so many times.

‘Hm?’

Under this plain-looking board, there was a heap of information that made his eyes pop out.

!When hits the bull’s eye continuously for 109 times, the title ‘The one who knows how to aim’ is obtained.

!When one hits the bull’s eye on the target’s head continuously for 10 times, the title ‘Pinpoint control’ is obtained.

!When one kills a monster with fireball or the last hit on a monster is a fireball continuously for 100 times, the title ‘Fireballer’ is obtained.

‘Title achievement conditions!’

The titles that could be obtained through Fireball, those were the conditions to obtain the title.

Because those were so much it was to the point that the texts didn’t fit into his eyes properly.

‘Oh my goodness!’

At that time, Midas was able to realize.

‘Even this can be seen too?’

The fact that the things that he could obtain was more than he imagined.

After that reality came up Midas’ thought changed.

‘If it’s like this…… a change of plans is necessary.’

‘First of all let’s log out.’

2.

Beep!

Along with the voice of the opening capsule gate Jung Hyun-woo’s two closed eyes were opened.

The numbed visibility range started to fit the current shape quickly.

“Hyung!”

In the middle of that visibility range Lee Hyuk-joo’s face was seen.

“Why are you coming out often like this?”

There was a dissatisfied silence in Lee Hyuk-joo’s expression who looked at Jung Hyun-woo in such a way.

To that fact Jung Hyun-woo formed a sour face.

“Hey, if someone has a problem they will come out. Who comes out because they like it?”

“Hyung, you don’t have any problem right?”

To the Lee Hyuk-joo’s repetitive questions, Jung Hyun-woo didn’t look so happy,

“Why? Is there something happened?”

“Now Urbis Guild is in the middle of raiding the Two-Headed Dragon!”

“Ooooooooh!”

After Lee Hyuk-joo finished that words an exclamation burst out in a Capsule Room’s prepared lounge.

“The Goddess’ song has started!”

“Urbis’ Muse has showed up!”

“Lee Seol has come!”

At that time Jung Hyun-woo was able to figure out the situation.

‘Right, Urbis Guild’s raid is now.’

Urbis Guild.

One of 10 Great Guilds in God Wars.

And it was the best guild where the best players gathered and made only the best results that represented God Wars.

A star on the sky that couldn’t be reached, that was also a place where stars that shone the brightest existed.

“Hyung, I will watch that show okay. Please clean it up.”

As Lee Hyuk-joo spoke those earnest words he forgot his own duty and ran to the lounge, it was absolutely those stars that shone magical light.

As expected Jung Hyun-woo’s stare directed to the lounge naturally.

At that time an Asian woman who had a long black straight hair and beautiful appearance came onto the screen.

Aaah……… .

As the woman who wore a snowy-white dress that shone with a golden light closed her eyes and gathered her hands she started to sing a song.

It was a beautiful song.

‘Last year that song was nominated for the Grammy Awards because the sales were overwhelming.’

It could only be like that.

‘Well, she’s Urbis Guild’s Muse, of course it will be like that.’

Urbis Guild that received the best judgment because there was a boss monster raid, it would be a weird thing if the singer’s song that represented that guild didn’t get famous.

Moreover that woman’s song was not a simple song.

The place where that woman sang the song always became a fierce battlefield that made anyone in this world had a sweaty hands, the reason why she sang was in order to win in that battlefield.

The song could completely reverse the conditions of a tough match, or turn the match between equally matched opponents heavily in one’s favour.

‘Lee Seol.’

Because of that it was always hundreds of millions of people, when there were many people one billion viewers were called and gathered in Urbis Guild’s boss monster raid and there was Lee Seol, when Urbis’ Muse sang a song it was like a highlight.

The most shining moment.

“A Goddess has descended.”

“Who? If someone like Hera or Freya came up it would be crazy though?”

“Nike! It’s the victory Goddess!”

“Wah, the game is set!”

And after that moment passed, at that time an explosive race was started without any chance to breathe.

Right now, the situation on the screen was like that as well.

Lee Seol, to the woman’s song the sky got cloudy and as the cloud splitted a winged angel descended while holding tight a spear and threw the spear to the big two headed dragon.

Ghuooooooo! (*sfx for pain)

The dragon let out a horrible shriek, and the Urbis Guild’s rearguard units who saw it started to move forward.

“It’s Merlin!”

In that situation soon in the screen a handsome man with blonde hair and white skin got zoomed in.

“Archmage Merlin!”

Merlin.

The second player in God Wars who became an Archmage.

He is the player who was called the greatest Archmage in God Wars.

He was the most powerful wizard in God Wars.

“There’s a caption huh?”

“Does it mean he’s going to perform a new skill?”

It was a skill that had never shown by Merlin in a broadcast that would be shown in front of countless eyes and ears in this world.

Bang!

Merlin, as he struck a 3 meters long big cane in his hand on the ground the earth shook as if an earthquake happened.

Along with the shake the ground’s sands floated on Merlin’s head and soon a magic circle was formed.

A big magic circle with a diameter as long as 50 meters appeared.

At the same time the caption changed.

“Flame Dragon?”

“Wah!”

Along with the appearance of that caption a big dragon made by flame appeared in the air from the magic circle.

GHUOOOOOO! (*sfx for a battlecry)

The appeared flame dragon ran towards the two headed dragon while shouting a dragon’s cry.

All the viewers were silently watching this moment.

Everyone was only looking at the screen while swallowing their saliva without spitting any words.

‘It’s great.’

Midas as expected was astonished at the scene inside that screen.

‘He was just overpowered with the skill without any kind of tactic. He didn’t care at all about the phase or pattern and just ignored all of them with the effect of his skill.’

The sight that overpowered boss monster with the endlessly powerful skill power without any tactics was surely a sight that could only be shown by a few number of people including Urbis Guild inside God Wars.

‘We are playing the same game but it’s like a completely different world for them.’

Midas, it was a scene that couldn’t be permitted to him even in his dreams.

But, he wasn’t disappointed with that fact.

‘Well, if I don’t have it I just gotta deal without it.”

‘Then shall I buy oil and potions?’

Thus, Midas started the game again.
