As they exchanged greetings and conversations started, the old text ascended quickly. In spite of that, the frenzy didn’t even last 10 minutes before calming down.
Users left to look for information they needed, or were taking a break while keeping the chat room open.
Lee Hyun also briefly went to look at different information and returned to find Huni and Wicked Me having a conversation.
- Huni: Hyun-nim. Are you there?
- Hyun: Yes.
- Huni: Actually, this time there’s a quest I want to accomplish…. I’d like to consult the two of you.
- Wicked Me: What quest is that?
- Huni: First of all, please be understanding of me when I say that I won’t disclose details about the quest’s contents.
- Wicked Me: Of course.
- Hyun: I understand.
- Huni: Thank you for understanding. To be honest, I’ve been doing a quest that’s a little special.
- Wicked Me: Is it a dangerous quest?
- Huni: You could say that. It also has a high degree of difficulty… The quest prevents you from ever reviving again.
- Wicked Me: I don’t understand what you said about not reviving. What does that mean?
- Hyun: The character would completely die in Royal Road, right?
- Huni: Yes. Thats right.
The complete death of a character.
It was something that could happen if you learned a forbidden magic, or if gave your soul for some reason or another. It was standard for Dark Gamers to refuse these kinds of requests. Curses that were difficult to cure could somehow be resolved after a time, but if your character disappeared, you have to start again from the very beginning.
After his profession was changed to Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, he had initially been very dissatisfied, but the reason he gave up on raising another profession was because it was hard to start over.
- Hyun: How did you come about that quest?
- Huni: I was with the guild I manage, it was a quest we got as a guild.
- Wicked Me: If you’re managing a guild, you must have quite an exceptional character; that’s quite regretful.
- Huni: Yes. Now I’m feeling a little regretful. I wonder if I started something too excessive because of my friends and guild mates, but the rewards that can be obtained through the quest are considerable.
- Wicked Me: As a Dark Gamer, is it worth starting over?
- Huni: I’ll have to see how the quest progresses, but right now I think it’s worth challenging. Even if we aren’t able to clear the quest, we accepted it because we can hope for such a huge reward.
-Wicked Me: If it were me, I’d worry first. Even so, to raise another character is going to be tough.
- Huni: In my 7 years of being a Dark Gamer, I think this is the biggest opportunity and challenge yet. Since there’s some money I’ve earned, even if I die I’ll probably be able to start over.
