A certain man was observing Royal Road in general. He was an old man that looked more cunning than most. This man was Yoo Byung-Joon otherwise known as the creator of the game Royal Road. He was quiet confused over the last couple of days since something that shouldn't have happened occurred in the perfect game he had created. Naturally the Goddess he had created would give him the answer he needed.
“Give me a report on the most recent events in game” Yoo Byung-Joon asked.
[In the last month there has been X million new players, the average level of players has risen by 4 and the average play time of each player has increase by 10 minutes ad 4 seconds. In total there has been 327 new guilds made and 176 guilds have been disband. A total of 14 siege level battles have been fought and 520 guild battles have been fought. 195 new dungeons have been discovered and 39% of all dungeons are own by a guild]
“Good good....what about the classes. I wonder if some new overlords have awaken at the same time again.” Yoo Byung-Joon did not want to remember how 5 player somehow managed to get that joke class that was clearly unbalanced for the game.
[No new overloads have awaken. However there was something strange recently involving the changing of a character's class]
“And what exactly happened?” Yoo Byung-Joon hoped that this was not going to be another case of a player gaining one of his joke classes again.
[Roughly 1 week ago at the time 3.08am in game time. Someone entered the Akashic Records, otherwise known as my main core]
“What?!” Yoo Byung-Joon exclaimed.
Such a thing was impossible. Even the best hacker could not help to penetrate the outer layer of protection the game has, let alone the most keep secret known as the core of the game.
Yoo Byung-Joon thought of hundreds of ways that this person could do this but everyone of them were already impossible to do since it would take too much time and by then, they would be discovered and taken care of. But someone managed to get through all of that and accessed the main frame of the core without anyone including the goddess itself noticing.
[To be more precise, the intruder only accessed part of the outer parts of my core and was not able or rather did not enter any deeper. All of the most important information such as player details and how the game system works were deeper in and now protected by several new defence systems]
“Good...” muttered Yoo Byung-Joon though he was not convinced that this incident wouldn't repeat itself.
“First Overlords popping up all over the place and now this....what exactly caused this intrusion to the system? Were you accessed externally?” Yoo Byung-Joon asked thinking on how he would punish the guards later. However such a thing was impossible to begin with. The core was protected more tightly then area 52.
[Negative. The core was access internally]
“That would mean....they were in game when they did it?” Yoo Byung-Joon thought about it for a moment and it made sense that the best way to get in was from inside but the system should've rejected such attempts. Unless the system...
[Correct. The system itself let the intruder in. It is most likely that the player's class allowed him so however defences have been made so the player will not enter again]
“Impossible...give me the details of this player now!” the worse thing Yoo Byung-Joon happened. The system which should've been complete control of the Goddess did something it shouldn't have.
[Character name: Eden started 4 months ago, level 182]
'Level 182 with just only 4 months....impressive if not the fact that the person could be a hacker of the highest level' thought Yoo Byung-Joon while deciding what kind of punishment he should give to this player.
[Title: Destroyer of Sovereigns, Class: Magic King]
“Wait, wait! What are those title and class? Those never existed in the first place!” Yoo Byung-Joon once more exclaimed. More and more unknown things were happening in his game. Once in a while players would excess even his imagination and at times shocked him but this....was never to happen.
[The title was created along side with the class when the player killed a God]
“God.....? You mean one of the lesser entities that you've created like Freya, Lou and Thor?”
[Correct. However the God was a low-ranked one and had little access to my system. The events roughly occurred when a Fairy Queen of unknown origins was killed near the player. The Data is partly corrupt during those events but it suggest that the player gained some sort of massive increase in ability during that time that was enough to drag out a God and slay it in a short period of time. After such events, another unknown entity appeared giving the player an item that also had its data corrupted which means its impossible to know what it is but the system accepts the item. They player has not moved from the area yet]
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
“What.....?” Yoo Byung-Joon could be comprehend how such events could, should happen since it defied everything the game was made for.
Yoo Byung-Joon was thinking of all the ways such events could happen normally. A god cannot be dragged out since Gods were the highest level of existence beyond most dragons with a few exceptions and this included a low-ranked God. The system was set up so a God can descend into the game or be casted out by other Gods, but never to be dragged out. Such a thing meant that this player had abilities beyond the highest level of existence in the game. Furthermore having the data corrupted was a bad thing in many ways.
“Can you delete the corrupted data or restore it?” Deleting the corrupted data may in turn delete the character but since it intrude into where it shouldn't then it would be fine. Restoring it was the best option but some parts still needs to be deleted and recovered later.
[Negative. Access has been denied]
“So we can't do anything to it. Find the location of the physical body of this player!” demanded Yoo Byung-Joon. If the goddess couldn't touch it in game then he would have to find the origins of this thing.
[The normal channel of the player has been corrupted. It will take at least a week to track down the player. However, speaking of corrupted data, there is some that appeared roughly 4 months ago and then disappeared in the Kingdom of Kallamore. I cannot touch it but it exist and yet does not exist. What do you want me to do about it?]
This meant tracking the player was impossible as well. The corrupt data would be restored automatically and the player that was there but not there would be free from the eyes of Yoo Byung-Joon.
“Don't do anything. Monitor the player and report to me on what happens later. Also does this player have companions? Tracking them would be easier since their data shouldn't be corrupted as well” ordered Yoo Byung-Joon. If he couldn't find the player directly, then tracking those around him would be the next best thing. Of course Yoo Byung-Joon was hoping that this 'Eden' was not a complete loner to begin with.
[Character Eden has two companions. They are Alexandra, Class Holy Templar and Viv, class Witch which has made a contract recently. They are roughly the same level as Eden. Also a sage is tracking him in game as well just for you to know]
“A Templar and a Witch.....didn't you say there were two unusual cases where a player gained a high level class near the beginning?” Yoo Byung-Joon remember how these two classes were difficult to get and two players got them at low levels when only top player could've. Also the Templar class was not a normal one but a unique one which only allowed one player to have that class since it was so powerful. The witch class was also a slightly different one. While it was a normal class it had the ability to make powerful contracts which would bring it to the level of the Holy Templar class. It is most likely that all three of them were extremely powerful
[Correct]
“Also what are the counters you have to avoid the worse case scenario?”
The worse case was that the game had to be shut down in order to maintain it properly and some data could be deleted which would mean it would take a week if everyone worked all nighters to fix the problem.
[All Gods are to avoid direct contact with the target. The command has already been sent. Also the corrupted data may influence the game-play of the target and those around him...not its a her now]
“Her?”
[The Target has had its Gender changed to Female. Also the target will most likely face powerful and legendary creatures one after the other until we can fix this problem]
“So the poor bastard will be very unfortunate?” Yoo Byung-Joon smiled for the first time.
