January 1, 2051. VRMMORPG Full Dive Game, Conquest Oath is starting to be released on the market. Many history otakus are looking forward to this VRMMORPG for its feature: this game uses real historical records.
In the promotional video, the game uses a medieval time setting with an earth map of the same size and detail. Each player can decide where to start. The political and civilizational situation was ajusted according to each region at that time.
Even so, many people disagree with the idea of this game. Some people consider this game as an attempt to distort the history. On the other hand, various big e-sports teams are also eyeing Conquest Oath which then brings in big sponsors and it is predicted that there will be big tournaments in the future.
Shun, a 25 year old unemployed man, is looking forward to the release of this game. His daily life is only filled with playing games, to the point that his studies in international relations are delayed and he is threatened with expulsion from his university. Later his father decided to stop sending him a monthly allowance.
He tried various ways to earn money from his apartment without working outside. Even though he can profit from trading stocks, it is still not enough money to meet his needs in the long term.
After hearing the potential of Conquest Oath will becoming a big game and can make money in the future, Shun wanted to try his luck with this game.
Luckily he already has a capsule game in his apartment so he doesn't have to spend money buying new ones. He only needed to buy the Conquest Oath game for 3000 yuan.
"Nooooooooooooo…. My meal allowance for one month! "
