CH 183

Adult content was one of BNW’s biggest content. BNW boasted realistic sensations to its players, so consuming adult content in BNW was no different from the real thing.

The sensations were too realistic to the point that players would often jizz in their pants in real life while consuming adult content in BNW. It was actually one of the reasons Siegfried had been trying his best to avoid consuming BNW’s adult content.

In addition, the developer and distributor of BNW—Hive Games Entertainment—was famous for their absurd attention to detail. Therefore, they made sure that the players wouldn’t be able to haphazardly consume adult content.

The Pregnancy Event.

Consummating BNW’s adult content with an NPC meant that the player could possibly impregnate an NPC. Hive Games Entertainment was a company based in the United States, so they were much more sensitive to gender equality issues compared to Korea.

Hive Games Entertainment’s culture made it possible for all genders to access the Pregnancy Event through BNW’s adult content.

[Possible to Get Pregnant]

[Female Gamer ❤ Male NPC]

[Male Gamer ❤ Female NPC]

[Female Gamer ❤ Male Gamer]

[Impossible to Get Pregnant]

[Female Gamer ❤ Female Gamer]

[Female Gamer ❤ Female NPC]

[Male Gamer ❤ Male Gamer]

[Male Gamer ❤ Male NPC]

BNW had no restrictions concerning same-sex relationships. However, it was impossible for a game—even if it was a fantasy game—to ignore the natural laws of biology.

Therefore, a Pregnancy Event couldn’t occur between same-sex couples. In addition, the babies born from the event were going to be NPCs because they were conceived in the game.

Julianne’s case was a classic case of a Male Gamer impregnating a Female NPC.

“His name is Swallow, and he is a being from the other world just like you, Your Majesty,” Julianne said.

“I see…”

“We fell madly in love with each other. He was a very charming and romantic man, and he was very gentle with me, too. In the end, our seed of love bore fruit, as you can see,” Julianne said while caressing her stomach.

She got pregnant out of wedlock, but she showed no signs of regrets about her relationship with Adventurer Swallow. It seemed to have remained true despite being locked up at home for bringing shame to her family.

“Those must have been happy memories for you,” Siegfried said. He couldn’t help but smile even though the love Julianne was describing was love between a human being and an NPC.

How did it make sense that those expressions, words, eyes, and voices were simply a block of zeroes and ones compiled together? A gamer was going to be a psychopath or a sociopath if they couldn’t consider the realistic NPCs in BNW as real people.

“I was happy… until I started having problems with him,” Julianne replied.

“Problems?”

“He suddenly said that his mother was sick, so he wouldn’t be able to descend on the continent for a while. He had to work in his world because he lacked money for her treatment.”

“Hmm…”

“I opened my family’s vault to contribute a bit, but it seemed that my contributions were nowhere enough…”

“T-That’s a bit…”

“My father scolded me a lot, but it did not matter to me. I truly love him, and I still love him.”

“…”

“Anyway, it has been seven months since I last heard from him, and he has sent not even a single letter. After he found out that I was pregnant with his child, he even asked me to marry him.”

“I see…”

“I’m certain that he has encountered a problem in the other world. Otherwise, he shouldn’t have gone missing with not even a single letter in the past seven months. I would like to ask Your Majesty to try looking for him in the other world. I will gladly hand over the music sheet to you once you’re done.”

Siegfried ended up accepting the quest before leaving the mansion.

“Ah… How am I supposed to find that Swallow or Shallow among three hundred million gamers?” Siegfried grumbled.

BNW had exactly three hundred million gamers, and finding the Adventurer named Swallow among them and bringing him to Julianne would be a difficult feat. In fact, there wasn’t any proof that Swallow was his real character name. He could have just told Julianne that his name was Swallow, even though it wasn’t his real character name.

BNW was also implementing a strict limit to their total number of users, and the maximum number of players was three hundred million players. BNW would delete accounts without any log-ins in the past one hundred and eighty days.

This meant that clearing the quest was near impossible for Siegfried if Swallow’s account was deleted due to inactivity.

“Ah… Should I just steal it? I think it’s going to be easier for me to barge into the mansion and just outright steal it compared to clearing this quest,” Siegfried let out his thoughts without realizing it.

The evil side of him emerged after realizing the quest’s absurd difficulty.

“O-Owner punk! Calm down!”

“Please calm yourself down, Your Majesty…”

Hamchi and Gringore tried their best to appease him.

“I’m just saying. Anyway, let’s try looking for now. I mean, it’s not like we have no clues,” Siegfried said with an anguished look.

He decided to give it a shot since he had already obtained a sketch and description of Adventurer Swallow from Julianne.

‘If I can’t clear it, then I should just go back to her and tell her honestly in hopes that she’ll still help me out. If she doesn’t help me out, then I’ll just steal it,’ he thought.

Of course, his evil side still lingered just beneath the surface, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

Vroom! Vroom!

Tae-Sung logged out from the game and hopped into his red Ferrari, which met the wrong owner and couldn’t run more than fifty kilometers a month. He headed to a famous luxury café in Cheongdamdong—Here Coffee Lab.

Here Coffee Lab was the luxury flagship store created by the low-cost café franchise Here Coffee.

Tae-Sung reached the parking lot of the luxury café. Tae-Sung’s car wasn’t the only expensive car in the parking lot. The parking lot was also filled with various models of luxury and exotic cars.

“Welcome, I will be helping you park your car if you keep your key in your vehicle. The parking rates will be three thousand won for two hours,” the valet greeted him.

“Thank you,” Tae-Sung replied. He passed his Ferrari over to the valet and entered the café. His Ferrari was parked right in front of the café while the other average imported vehicles had been exiled to the basement car park.

This was capitalism at its finest. The price, design, and rarity of a car dictated whether it was going to be proudly displayed in front of an establishment or if it was going to be exiled to the basement.

Of course, Tae-Sung didn’t really care that much about that.

Tae-Sung went up to the second floor.

“Over here, hyung-nim! Over here!” Seung-Gu exclaimed and waved his hand.

“Thanks for coming, Seung-Gu,” Tae-Sung said.

“Come on! I am on standby twenty-four hours a day for your call, hyung-nim!”

“I have a favor.”

“A favor?”

“We will have to search until we drop dead,” Tae-Sung said as he took out his laptop.

“Search…?”

“So what happened is…” Tae-Sung explained the content of the quest.

“W-Why is a hidden class quest exceptionally difficult…?”

“It is indeed difficult, but what can we do? It’s a hidden class, so we have to find a way no matter what.”

“You are right, hyung-nim. I mean, we can do worse things with that hidden class, right?”

“Come to think of it, you’re no longer speaking like those brats these days?”

“The trend has passed, hyung-nim.”

“…”

“You should keep up with the trend, hyung-nim. I mean, that trend has long passed. Heh.”

Tae-Sung was taken aback, but he was relieved by the fact that Seung-Gu had abandoned his childish manner of speech.

“Anyway, I need your help. Besides, this could end up becoming your class, right?”

“Oh! You are absolutely correct, hyung-nim! Let’s start!”

Tae-Sung and Seung-Gu started browsing through the world wide web armed with the information that Julianne had provided them. They were looking for Adventurer Swallow in real life.

A few hours later, Tae-Sung and Seung-Gu combed through the search engines, but they failed to find a lead on Swallow.

They even searched through all social media sites in vain.

「He told me that he is from a country called America in the other world, and he worked as a sergeant in the military when he was young…」

「He was very good at shooting, and he often traveled with a shotgun on his back.」

「He told me that his name in the other world is Billy Gatiss.」

It was near-impossible for Tae-Sung to look for Swallow inside the game as Julianne knew little about him in the first place, and it was impossible to tell if the name Swallow whom he had given Julianne was even his real character name.

And the biggest issue was…

“Ah… I have no idea what this is saying, hyung-nim…”

“I guess these translators have a limit…”

Tae-Sung and Seung-Gu weren’t really the studious type, so they couldn’t quite grasp what the English websites were telling them. They managed to find a few Americans with the name Billy Gatiss and pictures of the bird Swallow.

“What are you two doing here?”

A familiar voice suddenly called out to them.

Tae-Sung turned around and saw Cheon Woo-Jin staring down at them.

“Huh? What brings you here?” Tae-Sung asked.

“What else? I came here for a cup of coffee,” Cheon Woo-Jin replied with a shrug. He stared at them worldlessly for a moment before asking, “What are you two doing here… without me?”

“Ah, um…” Tae-Sung gave Cheon Woo-Jin a rundown.

Cheon Woo-Jin was stupefied as he asked, “S-So… you found a chest with a hidden class, and you have to complete that quest to open it?”

“Yes.”

“You’re crazy, Han Tae-Sung…”

“Why?”

“Does it make sense for someone to become a hidden class dual class?”

“It should be fine. Anyway, we still have no idea what class is inside the chest.”

“Crazy…” Cheon Woo-Jin shook his head in resignation and muttered, “What a lucky bastard…”

“Who knows?” Tae-Sung said in response.

“Who knows what?”

“What’s the point of being lucky when I can’t use it to my advantage? The old magician who taught me three years ago turned out to be an Archmage, and he said that I was a hopeless talentless trash.”

“Pfft!”

“Anyway, just enjoy your coffee and go home if you’re not going to help,” Tae-Sung said.

Afterward, he turned his eyes to the hologram screen that his laptop was projecting.

Cheon Woo-Jin saw the sketch and asked, “What the hell? You’re looking for that fucker? The NPC is looking for that fucker?”

“Yeah, he’s the American gamer Julianne has been looking for,” Tae-Sung replied.

“You don’t know this fucker?”

“Why? Do you know him?”

“He’s a very famous fucker, didn’t you know?”

“R-Really?”

Cheon Woo-Jin seemed familiar with the person Julianne was looking for.

“I’m not a hundred percent sure, but I think this fucker streams on G-Tube. He’s not well-known among Koreans, but he’s famous overseas.”

“Really?”

“Yeah...”

“Why do you keep saying fucker? It’s making you sound cheap…” Tae-Sung grumbled.

Some people might think that cursing is cool, but most people actually found the person saying it to look quite cheap.

A few people would find cursing to be cool, but a person who often cursed was actually a cheap person in the eyes of most people.

“Because he’s a bastard who deserves to be called that way…”

“Hmm?”

“Give me your laptop. Let me check if it’s that fucker,” Cheon Woo-Jin took over Tae-Sung’s laptop. He accessed G-Tube and typed PussyWagon in the search bar. A list of videos uploaded by the user PussyWagon quickly appeared on the screen.

“Huh? That video… that’s… Julianne?” Tae-Sung muttered after seeing the thumbnails.

One of the thumbnails of the videos had Julianne’s face in it.

“This fucker is infamous for doing that kind of shit to NPCs, and I think the NPC who gave you the quest was one of his victims.”

“What shit is he infamous for?”

“Flirting with NPCs in the game and creating sex tapes with them.”

Tae-Sung grimaced. His eyes turned red in fury as he growled, “Can I kill that fucker?”

The thumbnail of the video marked explicit depicted Julianne sleeping with her private parts barely covered.
