While walking home, Sung-won was seemingly deep in his thought about the news he saw back then in the convenience store, but then he stopped thinking about it.
"This should be enough for at least a couple of days". Sung-won muttered.
Sung-won was a hardworking teenager, he chose to stop his studies and work in a constuction site to support his ill mother and her sister whose about to enter college soon
so he can't affort to just play a game in his current situations.
Half a month ago, Era of Celestial the second Virtual Reality game was launced by Winter Storm Interactive Studio(WSIS) they considered it to a success because more than 1 billion users were created in just half a year.
The game was managed by the Supercomputer Nuclues—an AI system that manage the game setting depending on every action of the players thus their action might trigger a certain event in the game.
The company simply released a statement regarding their interference in the game because Supercomputer Nucleus simply managed the game itself so all they have to do is monitor every action of every players from the side line,
It's also said that more than a thousand Rare, Epic up to Legendary classes were hidden in the game that needs to be discover by the players themselves.
The game is fairly balanced from normal up to legendary classes because each classes has its own unique growth, normal classes can toe to toe to much higher classes as the game progress further.
The game capsule is said to fully connect to human the brain nervous system and so it can adapt up to 99.99% to human senses thus
It feels like you're in a reality and not in the game because of how realistic it is, although you can reduce the level of Senses Adaptatibity. However, a certain penalty will be recieved upon reaching a lower level.
This was to insure the level of pain one can endure during the game hence the game company allowed the players to adjust the Sense Adaptibility options.
While walking home Sung-won once again felt nostalgic abou the old days.
