The Player Hides His Past Chapter 304

Episode 304. Go against (2) Jeong Han

-taek, the head of the Republic of Korea.

“Write.”

He had a bitter taste.

After the Cataclysm, knowledge about the Arcana became common knowledge.

It is only natural that the president who will lead the country needs more common sense. However, there is a clear difference between what you learn through studying and what you learn through direct encounter.

Jeong Han-taek looks at the report and raises his head.

Among the staff with serious faces.

We ask the relatively expert head of the National Security Office.

“So the regular update…wasn’t it originally something like a regular event every Thursday, Director of National Security?”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

“But since the Zero Mountains appeared, it’s been rare?”

“That is correct, Mr. President.”

“But there was a problem with the update after a long time…?”

Updated patch history.

“Hmm…”

It was difficult for Jeong Han-taek to understand the world’s reaction toward him. With Lee Ho-yeol at the forefront, hasn’t the level of players from all over the world been much higher than before?

Jeong Han-taek continues.

“Including our great coalition. We’ve heard that players are taking full advantage of the Zero Mountains and growing rapidly. Let’s look at it statistically. It is said that the number of cases of collapse due to failure to attack the rift also plummeted. Didn’t you report to me just yesterday?”

“That’s right. President.”

Jeong Han-taek looked at the patch details again.

Then he frowned.

“It seems like good news no matter how you look at it.”

Some staff nodded at Jeong Han-taek’s self-talk.

“You might think so. President.”

The head of the National Security Office takes a deep breath.

Because it seemed like it wouldn’t be an easy story. The fortunate thing is that President Jeong Han-taek is ready to accept the explanation with an open attitude.

keep talking

“Let’s go back for a moment before the cataclysm, Mr. President.”

“So be it.”

“As you know, before the cataclysm. Arcana was managed by Cosmo, the predecessor of AAU. It was their job to tune the arcana. But after Cataclysm, they lost that ability.”

Jeong Han-taek nodded.

It wasn’t difficult to understand that far.

Wasn’t it the arcana realized into another world beyond the game? Cosmo’s employees, who were mere ordinary humans, did not have the ability to adjust reality.

“International trials over the years have proven the innocence of Cosmo employees. Except for Raymond Shen, the CEO, of course.”

Literally.

scoured the earth.

Even so, Rayman Shen’s new recruit couldn’t be secured.

“This case is clearly against it.”

“…Suddenly against? What do you mean, Director of National Security?”

“Rayman Sean, who can be said to be the only manager of Arcana now. The trust that has been passed on between him and the player. This update, announced by Raymon Shen, is starting to shake.”

“Is the foundation of trust shaken?”

Even between players.

Even between countries.

The evaluation of Raymon Shen was sharply divided.

The opinion of the side defending Raymon Shen was simple.

If he wanted to drive reality to ruin, why pay huge rift clearing rewards and why share updates with players?

“hmm.”

Jeong Han-taek’s position was neutral.

So I had no choice but to ask.

Jeong Han-taek’s brow furrows a little.

“One such update? It’s not that you won’t pay the crack clear reward, and unlike the evil, didn’t you share the update history properly?”

The head of the National Security Office’s answer was succinct.

“The player’s position is different. they would have believed Even Raymon Sean, who was said to be the CEO of Arcana, cannot be directly involved in Arcana.”

“…!”

At those words, Jeong Han-taek suddenly realized.

Time to gently touch the temples.

After asking for my understanding, I continued talking after a while.

“I think that feeling can be understood.”

Against the erosion of the Rift Arcana, players are fighting for their lives. But what if the Arcana Continent was a world that could be tuned according to Rayman Shen’s intention?

“It must be a situation where your appetite runs away properly.”

“It doesn’t really matter if the update history is good for humanity or not. The important thing is that Raymon Shen can directly coordinate the Arcana Continent. As long as the fact has been proven…”

“So that’s why it went against me. Whether it’s taboo or planted.”

Now that I realize the seriousness of the situation.

‘Think about Jeong Han-taek.’

Jeong Han-taek had no choice but to worry about the future of the country. You can’t rush ahead according to the AAU agreement. Like the leaders of other countries, he must be struggling like himself.

‘Compared to him, I’m…’

But the circumstances are better.

Jeong Han-taek was strangely relieved.

It has to be.

‘I never thought I’d predicted this far.’

Rayman Shen had mixed reviews.

‘Lee Ho-yeol player.’

It was because Ho-yeol was the one who showed a consistently hostile attitude toward him. Of course, I had no intention of relying on Ho-yeol to let go.

Jeong Han-taek quickly instructed his staff.

“Now the players are confused. Wouldn’t the mudfish that can’t give me a habit start to install? That’s all we have to do. Pulling out the weeds and cutting off the yellow shoots.”

Golden Palace of Yusra Kingdom.

“It’s been a while, Sir Harkon.”

“Oh, those eyes have become more determined.”

“Does it smell? I went through it on my own. The battlefield of life and death.”

“is it? Seeing you speak so confidently makes me want to see with my own eyes how deep your sword skills have become. Unfortunately, there is no time for that today.”

stride.

Harkon and the three guild masters of the Great Alliance do not stop even while exchanging regards. Leonie, who was struggling to keep pace at the end, opened her mouth.

“Did you hear the news?”

“Of course. Seriously unexpected.”

“The kid did something he never really did.”

Nam Tae-min was dissatisfied with the situation.

“What balance patch?”

Even when Arcana was a game, balance patches were not common.

No, it was safe to say that there was none.

It is said that an element that harms the balance was found on the Arcana.

Cosmo judged that even that was a natural flow and event.

‘Through a new quest, inducing elements to be removed and balancing them. If that doesn’t work, the NPCs will step in and remove it. Or, when it’s forgotten in my memory, I’ll clean it up without even knowing the rats or birds.’

It’s because we adjusted the balance in a way that doesn’t hurt the player’s sense of immersion.

Come to think of it…

As an NPC, Harkon, who would have played that role, was by his side.

Yes, in reality, not on the Arcana continent.

Taemin Nam! hit the palm with a fist

“…for a moment! Is this because there are no people to adjust the balance on the Arcana continent? Because everyone like Master is here. Isn’t that why Raymon Shen’s bastard intervened forcibly?”

“Nam Tae-min.”

It was Hisagi who spoke coldly.

Snake eyes that open up.

Hisagi shook his head.

“If I had thought to adjust the balance, would I have come to this situation? From the beginning, the direction of the update was always arbitrary without consideration for the players. And finally.”

In many ways, sharp criticisms follow.

“Isn’t there a general commander in the Arcana continent?”

“…Ha, I can’t say anything in front of this.”

“You have to be proud, Nam Tae-min.”

A battle of nerves between the two.

“What do you guys always do with the same things, really?”

The moment Leonie clicked her tongue.

Four people arrived at the round table in the Golden Palace.

A large number of people had already gathered at the Temple Allied Meeting.

Hakuna, the king of Yusura, looked around the crowd before opening his mouth.

“Looks like everyone has gathered.”

I will enter the Arcana Continent.

Hoyeol had submitted a note of reason to the Mage Tower and Yusra Kingdom and was away. Marcelo, who was present, suddenly remembered Ho-yeol’s note.

‘Personal history.’

I did not dare to speculate about Lord Hoyeol’s personal history.

Just these serious facts.

I was just worried about Ho-yeol, who couldn’t be contacted in real time.

The Quest for Gigi.

Urgent news confirmed through the smartphone Ho-yeol handed over.

The update history will have a great impact on the Arcana continent.

‘I don’t know when Lord will come back.’

At least the world of adventurers.

I wanted to lessen the worries in reality.

I am not alone in my thoughts.

At least everyone here was at the meeting for him.

Reality and Arcana Continent.

To the extent that it perfectly crosses the two worlds.

The situation where Ho-yeol, who has mastered gii, is away.

‘It will not be able to perfectly fill the vacant seat of Sir.’

But I’m an adventurer here.

And there are Arcanas like himself.

Marcelo laughed lightly.

‘Nevertheless, I will cooperate as per your will.’

The meeting started with Marcelo’s promise.

The parchment magically rises.

Above it was engraved the details of regular updates.

──────

Arcana Continental War: Regular Updates (including balance patches)

※Main balance adjustment targets

●Devil Boss Monster Demon Lord.

All demons except for the top 10 demons will be deleted. This decision was made because the existence of an unnecessary demon king could have a negative effect, so we hope for your understanding.

──────

Witch of the Southern Sea.

She looked at the southern sea from the shore.

The smell of the wind, and when I saw it with my quiet ears…

Pooh—

smoothed out a sigh.

“How are you going to be quiet today?”

A day, two days, three days….

The bad omen, which had not gone even for a day without chattering, has been quiet for the past few days. From the time I noticed his existence until now. It was an unusual few days even for a witch who had been watching him.

“Thanks to that, I earned some gold coins to buy cigarettes.”

Gold coins obtained through the 『Time and Space Request』.

Among the Transcendentalists, there are very few Transcendentalists who can enter and exit the upper layer.

Witches had the qualifications, so unlike most transcendents who struggle with gold coins of space and time, it didn’t matter too much if they spent their gold coins recklessly with cigarettes.

of course.

“Cough Cough Cough.”

The body rotting away from poisonous cigarettes was a problem.

“…I can’t do this anymore.”

Gaze towards the sea again.

Knowing the relationship between himself and the bad omen.

A few of them had asked the same question.

-“I heard that it is such a bad omen that you don’t want to see it? Why are you staring at the sea on a fictitious day with a dying body when there is no way to stop it?”

the witch replied.

“…that’s talking to me.”

It felt like the bad omen would run rampant again if I didn’t listen to the curse myself. I felt like I was going to open my mouth towards the continent. So the witch had no choice but to look at the damned sea.

“There is no such thing as a crazy bitch.”

It had been a long time since the bad omen swallowed even the spirit of the witch.

However, the witch’s efforts were not worth it.

“…?”

The change began with a few lines that emerged in a world completely different from the Arcana continent, not the Arcana continent. It was natural that he could not recognize the foreshadowing.

“…!”

Slowly—

a huge shadow soaring over the horizon.

The witch finally found out.

“Why…?”

The fact that bad omens have manifested on the continent.

There is really nothing to do.

Somehow, after restoring Cloudy’s mansion, the manor that was now in ruins was the problem. But let’s think about how to restore the territory later.

“It goes by as fast as afternoon tea time.”

Another day has passed in real time, so it’s time to pick up the feather pen.

If you suddenly ask what kind of feather pen it is.

What are you asking out of the blue?

‘I have to put it up. Regards Appeal.’

While suffering from Grandfel’s filial piety, he suddenly admires it.

How on earth can you write thousands of letters every day?

Of course, I won’t bother to ask because it’s obvious that he’ll answer that it’s the pride of a filial son.

Suk-

I put down the feather pen and opened my mouth.

“Please.”

In reality, if you simply manifest magic, the letter will fly to your home on its own with wings. Since this is the continent of Arcana, an additional intervention process will be required.

“Tell the news and bring it.”

Gooooo—

a letter that was sent tearing through the dimension within a moment.

‘It’s great filial piety, really.’

I must be the only person in the world who consumes this amount of mana just by saying good morning. Due to the time difference, it will take some time for a reply to arrive.

‘I’ll have to look around in the meantime.’

Cloudy’s mansion.

Since I restored it with reverse magic, I might be able to salvage some of Cloudy’s mansion settings. Why is it that there might be something that can be used as if the stone statues of the 4 families were revived?

‘The more I regret it, the more I have to scrape together.’

It was the moment when I made a promise with the expression of a solemn family head.

Gooooh—

…the reply is faster than expected?

These are my parents who have sent long replies that are not inferior to my condolences and appeals. No matter how much time difference there is, isn’t it too fast? Wait a minute to think if you wrote it in advance.

I opened the letter

from my mouth

A cold voice pops out.

“No pride to be found.”

Enclosed is a printed A4 sheet of regular update history.

Yes, it was still Thursday there.

It seems that a new regular update has come to mind after a while.

All in all, when I entered the Arcana Continent.

Did you almost miss this without knowing why?

In that sense.

“I will not forget the grace of Father and Mother.”

This time, I saw the virtue of extreme filial piety.
