TL: Jzar and Enlighten End
KMC’s live broadcast about Weed’s quest achieved the largest viewership ever recorded in the nation. Since the broadcast was so popular they were quickly organizing a follow up program.
“Weed’s adventures didn’t get completed as the broadcast had to be shown as a real time quest. Let’s put sufficient time and manpower into properly broadcasting the full chain quest.”
They celebrated with with a company dinner that night but devotedly got right back to work the next day which was Saturday. Thus, the full version of Weed’s chain quest was setup to be published in three parts.
=Part One : The River of Lamentation =
Weed cleans a river of souls and creates an alliance of tribes and monsters to fight an epic battle against the Church of Embinyu.
=Part Two : The Forbidden Land of Jigolaths =
Weed’s long voyage across a mysterious sea and his great explorations in the forbidden zone of Jigolaths.
=Part Three : The Dark Mage =
Weed leads armies of the undead in battle against the Chaos Warriors, Guilds and Pirates. Weed’s final fight, a Dragon vs. the Tribal Warlord to decided the fate of Jigolaths.
The main content of the quest had already been broadcast as the live, real-time quest, the full production would fill in all the missed details of the chained quest, starting with the river of Lamentation quest.
The bulletin boards were completely swamped with requests for both the full production and a re-broadcast of the original live quest.
“When will the full chained quest be shown?”
“Sunday afternoon.”
This decision was determined as the best time to ensure the highest ratings.
KMC media decided to broadcast the full version, the chained quest of Weed’s adventure on Sunday afternoon, before then they needed to hustle and sell the 30 second media ad slots.
Director Kang was very adept at producing advertising revenue.
“Part One is the alterations of the mass of sculptures and some short scenes of the fight between King Hydra, the Lich Barkhan Demoph and the Imugi. Part Two is the volcanic eruptions as well as the arrival of Haven Kingdom’s army fleet and the pirates, and the fighting scene. And part Three…”
…The Director objected.
“For part three…. the time allowed for advertisement is too short.”
“The third part will briefly show the head of a dragon. So that dragon’s roar can be used to go into the advertisement time.”
The promotional video was the work of KMC media department, it was very good considering the rather short time frame they had to make it with;
The fog of war drifts slowly over
the River of Lamentation…
An Army gathers for combat
with the faint strains of majestic music
Fire Giants moving through a lava lake
attacking human adventurers…
An Undead Lich Lord and a Dragon!
The viewers watching the trailer eagerly awaited the broadcast of the chained quest.
When they started the broadcast on air they had achieved a total of 63.9% of viewership. There was no better moment than that as it was the largest rating ever recorded. For now there isn’t anyone who didn’t know the name of Weed from 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 curious about that sea voyage. How long would it take until you had skill enough to sail a tall masted ship and navigate? Those rowing galley seems like it would be very hard work.
-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 also 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 broadcast of Weed’s chained quest, interest for the sea was triggered. Sailing into the vast uncharted ocean waters and advancing through its warm surging waves was considered 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 Class change as a wizard, were there any major differences?
-A Lich! It is totally my dream job. Dark magic and mean… people under his command!
-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 5,000 skeletons, and kill all when exploring a dungeon.
