Today is a special day for Zic known as Meian in his stream Gametube. His video mostly shown his IGN (in-game name) and some edited stream to avoid or reduce the problem especially the hater. Back to topic. That was me anyway hahahaha. Like I said earlier, today is special day for DREAMS Team launch their game including console. In previous my stream said we will get free game and console. Yes it’s true however we need to pay some for insurance and others related to console so we need spend some money.
I saw some people reluctantly go out without getting game and console because of not enough money to pay other part. My condolences. By the way, set up a plan and arrived here with unexpected situation. How can I said, it’s like you in any expo where most people visit but this is more double or triple people. I mean hundred,no thousand people and already a long line up. I heard half of it can register online. Unfortunately for me why I’m here because it’s already too late. Woke up, wash my face and open my computer. Go to DREAMS website and *boom* already booked. Haaaaaaaa unlucky for me. Based on my guess, there 10% success to get the game for beta.
For now I better make a plan for my video. If I’m not getting for beta maybe I should interview the player. Priority my loyal viewer. We can ask about how it’s feel, the different time in-game and real world. Mechanic and others. Too much to consider about VRMMORPG. I had been read few web novel and light novel related to this genre. Right now we just need to explore the game. Oh yeah, this game I’m talking about is Skill Online. As you guys see,it’s name give us a hint already. Simple, the game talking about your skill in-game. Survival, martial arts, weapon, arts, craft and many other skill in this game. Skill Online timeline is modern era. Eh?Modern era, tsk tsk tsk…there more incredible in this game. THe combination or magic and scinece that make the game more awesome! The planet we in will be 3 time big than earth. Explore the continent that not have been explore. Even you can become a king (This is just my assumption).
*Ahem* Sorry, too excited. There too much possibilities in this game. Tha’s it all. Oh it’s my turn…”I’m sorry everyone, the game and console have been stock out. Please wait 1 month later for the official launch. Thanks you very much~” ...okay, it’s hurt my heart. Urgh, I’m don’t know what to said. Just need 1 month to wait and I can buy it. Alright, I’m want to stroll around the city while edit some of my video for change my mood for a while.
At restaurant, “Let’s see, the title is “So many people for the Skill Online.” Video.” I will also edit some video and put my voice saying I’m one of the unlucky person do not getting become as beta tester player. Oh there some viewer said he also don’t get it. “Hey,Meian. We so lucky today got a console and game. Later on feel free to interview us for the game feedback.” One of the viewer comment on my video saying I can interview them. Cool! The game is late to online because they wanted to give player a time to set up the device. *ping* Hmmmm? Pick the phone from my pocket and saw there an email from DREAMS Team President Yamamoto Takeshi.
………Eh?
Eeeeeeehhhhh! Wait! Are you seriously this from him!? My eye doesn’t play the trick right? Close and open my eye and checking it many time this email is true or fake. Okay, I’m not dreaming. Pinch my cheek, ouch that's hurt. Again, I'm not dreaming. This really make me wonder how he know my name. This email also send to my account that for my work. Not to personal email. There a 2 possible way President Takeshi know me. First, via my video. He also can ask the higher up to search my information. Lastly, someone share about me and he interested to me. I mean not in bad way. Whatever, I just can think it's a job or a thing that related to my work. That what my instinct tell me.
By pressing the link, the map app open up and loading the location where to meet. Oh, it’s near. Paid the bill and follow the map to the location I need to go. Walking for 15 minutes and arrived to….DREAMS company buildings!? Oh,I’m stupid. Why “me” do not notice this address included with their company name too.Oh my, this make me nervous. Enter the building, go to the reception counter to ask where I need to meet this person. “Excuse me, I’m Zic. I was tell there an appointment with Lily Rose. So,, I’m come here after got an email from this company.” The girl receptionist look at me and nodded. “I understand. Please wait while I’m checking with Miss Lily Rose. I’m sorry because this is our rules if someone have an appointment or anything related to it.”
I just shook my head. “No worries. I will respect it. What I care is be professional that it all.” She just smile happy hear what I’m saying. “Glad to hear some customer saying that words. Our company sometime or I can said always facing unprofessional person when working with them. Many of them got warned by us for 3 time and last step we take is by banned from entering the building until we saw he or she regret what they doing. We will give another chance once that happen. However there no for the third chance. Especially for the staff of DREAMS Team.” I nodded agree with it.” With the corruption and others aspect I can understand why this company it’s law so tight. Maybe some part I don’t know but as public person I understand some of part why they did it.” The girl nodded then said “Mister Zic, Miss Lily have confirmed that there an appointment with you. So, please sit at any chair in our hall and she will come take you to her office.”
Oh quite fast. “I understand. Thanks for you hard work.” The girl receptionist nodded “Glad to help you.” I move toward one of the chair provided and sit on it. Taking phone out and browse some news talking about the console and some other game company just started their project but they still in making it. Maybe they needed for few years at least one year to make it. Oh some game already turn to true VRMMORPG and offline type. It’s like a wildfire for every company game. That include for technologies too to gain some profit.
After a few glimpse about the news. I heard a foot step that coming towards me.A woman around 20 to 30 years old? Overall I can said it’s was average for asian people except for her breast. E or F size who knows. Black long hair and eye. Wear a blue-black business outfit with the logo DREAMS Team. I’m stand up and bow. “I’m Zic. Sorry for taking your time but I got an email from this company that there appointment with you.” Miss Lily just giggle. “Oh, do not worry about that. We call you and the task have been pass to me so I’m glad working with you. By the way, my name is Lily Rose. You can call me Lily or Rose.Drop the Miss okay?” We shake hand and talking little bit about this company and my streamer.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Looks like she one of my viewer who keep donate to me when I heard her nickname. Well, the world was not so big as you guys can see. After that Rose back to the point why they called me. “Anyway, follow me. Let’s discuss about the contract more detail in my office. What I can said this job you got from our company is big.” I’m follow her from behind while try to guess a few point what job I as a gamers need to do. Programmer out. Technical already out. Cleaner I do not want it. What I can think is maybe…maybe related to my streamer and game.
“Let me guess, it must be related to game where you guys need my ability?” She laugh when hear about it. “You always surprise me,Zic. Yes, it’s about the game but it’s not simple like you survey the game and send the feedback towards us there a bug and others.” When arrived to her office at what floor I don’t know. Her office was not so big. Just your normal office. There a black chair and table that suit for office work. Compute and laptop on it. A shelf that already full with book and file. Lastly in the middle of it there a sofa and coffee table. We sit on it face to face. Rose take out a few paper from her file and put it on the table.
“I want to ask, you already have a console with the game too?” I just shook my head.”Today not so bad for me. This thing you guys make already spread like wild-fire where I totally miss it.” She nodded “I see, then I will straight to the point. We want you become as observer and one of the pillar in the game.” Observer? Weird job for me. “Observer? I hope it’s not blocking my timing play the game later. Also what you mean about one of the pillar in this game?”
While she prepared the tea. She answer my question with serious look “It’s ok. It’s not like us but we want you to observe in the game. What I mean here anything suspicious happened in-game. We want you report it to us. The pillar is the person or player become a guardian. This game is new and we need some player cooperation to counter certain problem without our action like banning their account and others.” Whoa, risk job. “Why you need do this? Sorry I need to confirm a few thing before decide it. Please just tell only the thing you guys can.”
Her face showing she so relief when heard my words. “I’m glad you willing to hear us. As you already know. This game of type, a VRMMORPG the true one where there no need to move here and there. The game will have a loop or hole where certain people can find it so easily. Not everything will be perfect but we will always keep improve by patching the game. Next, player problem. That where the Skill Online. You guys can do anything but there a limit on it if they break the game or any that we don’t want. For that you as Guardian will take an action to the player and we will punish them once the case settle. Anything about game you can ask me directly because the other guardian have other staff handle it.” I nearly choked when drink the tea. “*cough* Basically you want me to take care of the game world right? Heavy job like always.”
Rose just smile wryly but before she can open her mouth.”Just to be confirmed something. This game is like a real world and there will be different time phase,right?” Rose surprise with her eye open wide. I just laugh and she blush “Ahem,yes what you think is correct.How do you know about it?” I just shook my head and tell her. “It’s not simple but otaku who play the game,watch anime, read novel. They can guess it so easily.” Oh, she seems to realizeit.”That makes sense. *giggle* I really like the way your thinking.” I laughed with her statement.”Thanks, sometimes it makes some people mature about their surrounding but if it does not control, there will be a downside.”
We wash our throat and I open my mouth when it’s done.” I accept it. You guys must have a hard time who really suitable for this job. I will email or call you what I found in the beta. Basically, I will give my opinion about the game.” Rose smile widely “Thank you very much. Please sign here and you will get a monthly salary for your works. It depends on your activity. More deed you make more rewards.” She give a pen and the contract where I need to sign. I read carefully to confirm it there no a trick on me. Just a precaution step to avoid unnecessarily trouble in the future.
Sign on the space had been provided I give back to her. “By the way, the server we will be in is a private or public that will open for official launch day?” Her face showing confuse why I asked about it. “Private server. Open for special treatment for beta player. Not so special. Just farming the point and money for upcoming official launching. There will be no NPC so player will interact with interface when making trading such as sell or buy an item. We also give a library for the knowledge open world later. Why?” This girl really focus on playing on one angle. “This is important for me. The npc will know “us” is not from their world. This game system will be different from our old style MMO like where you hit dragon eye. The monster will be pissed but how about this game? This is just my guess,if we hit both of it the dragon will be blind. There will be dps but it’s more focus on how fast we clear or I mean kill it. Anyway this game, Skill Online can bring a good and bad to the player.” Rose just smile wryly “You not playing the game yet already know some of the game system.” I laugh loudly “There more I want to said but let’s dive to the game to check it more.” She pout because I already spoil it. “Come on, I can said your company will be lucky got a player like me. They will give a good feedback but there a downside too where player can break the world like you said before.”
She nodded “Yes, that’s what our company worried. We already make some countermeasure but for now the beta just for explore how the game work but the next when it’s launch we will have a lot problem.” This work really troublesome I can set. To monitor player and others.Oh! I just got an idea. “Hey,Rose. This might can help your team to cut some work.” She leaned forward to hear it out. “ Why not some of your staff including you play the game. I mean for myself, I can easily report to you via in-game and real life. The other reason is I know not all thing we can get cover it but try imagine this when some of us become a spy in our enemy team. The company can take a few step ahead to counter them.” She surprise with it. Seems the works already burden them so much. “ I will try present this idea in the next meeting later. I’m looking forward working with you.” She hold out her hand and then I shake her hand. Well women had really soft. “Yeah, looking forward working with you too.”
Both of us pack our item. After that we separate go to our destination. Rose like always continue her works and I go back home to set up this baby. I mean the game and VR console. Arrived at home. I clean up the house and prepare for lunch. Just simple lunch for single man so nothing good to told you guys what I’m specialize, setting up the game and VR. It took time really. The game size was so big.Lucky I have 3 computer in my room. Why 3? Hahahaha, one for my work, editing and post my video. Another computer is specialized for recording. Lastly the latest upgraded computer where I play any game I downloaded or installed in it. What? It’s not make sense for you guys? Like I mind you all. Look at the clock the game already opened. Okay! It’s time to dive in-game!
