Chapter 3: Coffee Date
KMC’s show about Weed’s quest achieved the largest viewership in broadcasting ever recorded. Since the broadcast was a hot topic among the audience these days, they organized a subsequent program in the media.
“We couldn’t complete the editing as it was a near real-time broadcast. Let’s put our efforts and resources in broadcasting it properly instead.”
They held a banquet to celebrate the success, and even Saturday was dedicated day and night to finishing work.
Thus, the full version of Weed’s adventure was published in 3 parts.
– Part 1: River of Mourning –
Weed repairs the sculptures and creates an alliance of leaders against the Church of Embinyu.
- Part 2: Landing on Jigolaths –
Weed’s long voyage across the sea to come to the mysterious Jigolaths.
- Part 3: Dark Mage –
Weed leading the undead armies in battle against the Warriors of Chaos and the Dragon.
The key parts of the live broadcast were delivered, however, in the midst, the viewers’ bulletin board were asking when there would be a second broadcast of the adventure and requested for one.
“When is the broadcasting day?”
“Not Sunday afternoon.”
Time was determinative to have the highest ratings. KMC media decided to broadcast the full version of Weed’s adventure on Sunday evening, and prior to that, they had to agree on the content of the 30 seconds ads.
The director of advertising was displaying his abilities.
“Part 1 is the repairing of the huge sculptures and some short scenes of the fight between King Hydra, the Lich Bar Khan and the Imugi. Part 2 is the volcanic eruptions as well as the arrival of Haven Kingdom’s army fleet and the pirates, and the fighting scene. And part 3…”
Directors were expressing their disapproval.
“For part 3, the time for the advertisement is too little.”
“The third part was simply showing the head of a dragon. The dragon’s roar will conclude the advertisement.”
The promotional video made was the work of KMC media, and was as good as it could be. The drifting of war clouds over the Weeping River, the army gathering with majestic music, the lava welling up in the background to attack humans, the Lich and the dragon!
The viewers were watching the trailer and eagerly waiting for the broadcast of the adventure. When they started the broadcast on TV, they had achieved a total of 63.9% of viewership. There was no better moment than that as it was the largest rating recorded, and there wasn’t anyone who didn’t know the name of Weed in Royal Road.
The story of Weed’s adventures in Royal Road was associated with every topic day after day on Internet message boards.
-I am wondering about that sailing skill. How soon do you think you can get on a large sailboat or a ferry and navigate?
-You can raise fish. There are a lot of unknown eggs; dolphins that were born 4 months ago, if you feed them well, they can help raise the speed of mastering the sailing skill. You can keep birds to help too. You are not alone in the open sea. As you navigate, nature will follow.
- Is it possible to find adventure on the sea? Weed discovered an island, can we too go and explore a new continent?
-You can. Assuming that there are many lands unknown in the sea. It is the dream of all sailors to find the legendary Treasure Island.
After the broadcasting of Weed’s adventures, the interest for the sea was triggered. Sailing into the vast ocean waters and advancing through its warm surging waves was romantic. The desire to be a necromancer also spread like wildfire.
-I am asking you because you are a former necromancer. After you have gone through your 2nd job as a wizard, were there any major changes?
-Lich! It is totally my dream job. Strong, mean… people under his orders!
Building intimacy with others is hard as a Necromancer, if you kill someone, notoriety will pile up fast, that’s the story, thank you. Originally, I did not have any friends.
-Why not create a party of necromancers for adventure? Make like 5000 skeletons, and kill all when exploring a dungeon.
Becoming strong enough to have an undead army, but lonely and alone, you mainly hunt at night. Solo career boasted the ultimate power of the Necromancer.
It was becoming popular again. In order to become a Lich, the existing Necromancers were eagerly exploring and leveling up. In the Versailles continent, they were often seen by others in towns and castles focusing on equipment or searching for a colleague.
-An adventurer that makes the impossible possible.
- Creating his path step by step.
- The God of War. A hero who does not give up.
Weed became tremendously famous. In Versailles continent, a hero was created instantly. Bards and dancers of the continent made a show about celebrities. They would dress-up as Weed and monsters in the streets, and hold performances to entertain people.
Changes occurred in the sculptures carved by Weed in Rosenheim Kingdom.
