Chapter 34 – Forum Exploding And Life’s Shocking Message

Eclipse Online won’t be just a regular game like End World in a month, let alone after seven years, where a whole country’s position can shift from rich to poor simply by losing its ranking in a kingdom.

Indeed!

The state of Eclipse Online was so integrated into the real world that it served as a literal second world. In fact, the player rankings were so significant that each individual player could elevate an entire country single-handedly.

The money one could make from Eclpise Online and the authority one could gain by having enough power or connections were unbelievable.

‘Still though, I’m safe in real life and my family is untouched…but what about in game, hehe,’ Yone couldn’t help but chuckle as he forgot about the most important thing in his journey…his safety in-game!

He was so sucked up on not doing the same mistakes twice as his foolish past life’s brain that he totally forgot that anyone displeased with him can target him in game. Much less greedy people once they see the announcement and think Yone has somehow hit the jackpot.

Thinking this much, Yone couldn’t help but open the forum of his kingdom to check its state, and as he expected…

***

Golden Gate Kingdom forum:

“What the hell is this dog shit game, I can’t even surpass level 1 half bar of experience yet this guy is already level 6 and clearing out some chain quests or god knows what he is doing inside the game,”

One of the newest players, called Toxico, who is a pro on End World and just came here after hearing its fame from his raid mates, couldn’t help but be dumbfounded as he looked at the announcement and the leveling leaderboard. He somehow felt that this game was bugged and that the developers did a poor job of balancing it.

“You guys think he is abusing some bug? Maybe related to the assassin class? There is no way a regular player or even the best of the best would be this ahead and accomplish such achievements in only a matter of five hours after the game’s launch, this is unrealistic.”

“Requiem, are you single? I can be your girlfriend if you wish, just say the word!”

People were going crazy over the announcement, and a total of one million players reacted to the announcement on the forums, either by sharing it with others, commenting or liking it.

It should be known that the Golden Gate Kingdom’s maximum population is about a hundred million, which is one of the smallest kingdoms out there. Not to mention that such a number wasn’t yet playing, but only several million were introduced to the game by now, yet a million of those several million reacted to the player Requiem kingdom announcement.

Yone wasn’t interested in these comments and merely brushed them off with a smile; he was more or so looking for comments and genuine thoughts from well-known players from his past life.

And indeed…he found what he was looking for!

“I’m a bit surprised, though, the top 100 guilds are going crazy over him and want to recruit him no matter what. Player Requiem, if you reading my message or anyone of his friends, can you please open the message to your account so we can at least have a conversation? No matter the outcome, an acquaintance can always be an option.” A player with the in-game name Life couldn’t help but state his honest thoughts, which immediately brought countless such comments right after realizing they never asked him about this matter.

‘Let us reply to this one,’ Yone, finding what he was looking for, waved his hand and opened the chat, and wrote a simple message.

“I added you, accept,” An emoji of a smile right at the end of his message before Yone closed the forum and awaited his acceptance.

He wasn’t dumb to open his friend’s request or message chat when he was this famous, he might have done it in his past life. In this life, on the other hand, from the first moment he created his character he had already blocked any kind of communication from even reaching him, choosing to only pick people himself and invite them instead.

As for the person he just invited to his friend list, that was none other than the best hunter in the Golden Gate Kingdom. Life, a woman who shook the entire top guilds operating inside the kingdom, but after trusting the wrong guy, her life turned upside down, and she committed suicide in a matter of days.

Her end was tragic, but Yone had other plans for her,’ It seems like fate has chosen her to be saved, well, I’m in need of a group anyway, so why not.’

Yone was scouting for famous players, and the first one he found, he replied to.

If it’s Life, then so be it!

‘Glad he saw my message, I need to take this opportunity and invite him over no matter what!’ Life vowed to herself as she typed her message, her hands shaking from the intensity of the situation, as the player she was talking to was none other than Requiem. A player who took the entire gaming industry by storm the moment of its launch!

“Hello Requiem, first, I’m thankful for accepting my request, and second, can I propose something?” Life wrote, her hands shaking and sweat forming on her forehead.

“Sure, go ahead,” Yone was truly interested by this ‘request’ and awaited her message.

Gasp!

Yone’s body froze as he read her next message, his worldview shifted for a moment before he regained his composure and typed to confirm whether her words were true or not.

“You sure you’re watching this? This is no joke if you’re trying to prank me.”

Alas, her next words shocked him even more as his heart fell and mind buzzed, countless ideas running through his head, but none could comprehend how the hell is such a thing was possible so early in the game.

‘This is truly troublesome, am I done for?’
