- The last player to win the Great War... will be the main character of Dragon Emblem 2. -

"... Whoa... Whoa!!!!"

That quote will be announced in a magazine later, but it's true.

I'm thinking of an ending based on the first player to finish all the Dragon Emblem 2 scenarios first.

Hmm...? Didn't you just feel something was a little strange? Planning an ending to a game that's already been made, it doesn't make sense.

However, if you explain it like this, everyone will understand at once.

- The second story of the Dragon Emblem consists of three songs in total. -

Now, don't I get the feeling? To accurately appeal to dragon emblems, users had to convey the feeling of exploring the world firsthand rather than story-driven games.

So in one story, I went on to the third episode of Dragon Emblem, where I felt the cartridge was running low on capacity to explain everything.

First of all, the basic interface of the first dragon emblem 2 was very similar to the 'breeding simulation' as any user had just said.

At the beginning of the game, the character created by the player has been helping the village in a cabin on the outskirts of a small town with lost memory settings for several years.

The user performs a quest in a town that is initially assigned to the job of their choice and grows the character. and earn stat points for leveling up

You can develop your own character by directly dividing them, but depending on the points you allocate, you can transfer jobs into different jobs.

'And in it, of course, hides the Hidden Classes that I have prepared.'

Dragon Emblem 2 begins by reclaiming the human territory ruled by the Demon King's army. The goal of Dragon Emblem2's first story is to prosper a small village, to help the villagers carry out their quests, to empower them, and then to reclaim the first and second territories controlled by the Demon King's direct reports.

What is unusual about this is the local reclaim mission, where you can enter the Maestro Castle Tower garrisoned by using certain items that can be obtained while enjoying a single story. Players were also able to use their characters to form a total of four parties to carry out the mission of destroying the Maestro Tower.

"Two towers on a 50-story hellish level..."

As the trial of Dragon Emblem 2 began to unfold, Raon became another major social issue. Just as numerous users have flocked to the Akiba Tamago Shop to download games since the first day of the new year, gaming stores across the country that are contracting with the Pentagon have been shattered by the explosion of users.

In some areas, there was only one store that had signed with the Pentagon, so people were badly humiliated. Is that so? With the trial distribution, Raon's purchases increased explosively and reached a point where Raon's body and software could not be found anywhere in the country.

In front of the door of the game shop in Akiba recently, as if to prove it, there was a phrase that reads:

-RAON has been sold. -

Well, the Tamago-shop, which is the Pentagon Soft headquarters, doesn't have anything, but where is it?

"I'm sorry, sir. Raon is due in next week."

"How far in? Will you be able to live with yourself that day?

"The quantity is still undetermined, but the number of customers who have booked since the beginning of the year is difficult to confirm. I'm sorry."

"Why can't I buy it when I have money?!!"

On one user's heartbeat, the deputy manager, Miyazaki, apologized several times. Some guest missing time. I bought a bunch of freshmen from a donut shop nearby and came back to the store.

"I wanted something sweet. Thank you. Sir."

Miyazaki slashed a mouthful of donuts and smiled at me widely.

"Hard, isn't it? I'm sorry. It takes some time to produce the display, so the factory itself is almost at an all-stop state…"

"I went out a lot last year, but the demand seems to have increased dramatically since Dragon Emblem 2."

"I can tell you that I'll contact you if you make a reservation, but there are guests who come with me every day."

"Looks like we'll have some loose ends in the next week or so..."

"I really hope so. There are some people who are very angry and visiting..."

"I'm sorry. I'll call the Ritex and tell them I need them to move a little faster."

"Thank you, sir."

"Well, I'm going back to headquarters. I've been in the shop so much lately, Hayashi's been making so much noise..."

Having packed my bag, I said hello to the staff and headed to the underground parking lot.

Raon's explosive popularity was a huge part of the Dragon Emblem 2 trial.

In fact, at this time, the trial was more precious than the script.

Simply put, the 'Psychic Battle Trial' was a good example, and as a reward for users who completed the stage before issuing, it was distributed in very small quantities and could not be obtained even if they wanted to.

In addition, unlike Chendra's game performance, the slightly unfinished feeling was more stimulating to the small group.

However, if Raon only had a flash memory cartridge, anyone could download the trial and enjoy the game.

Moreover, even the woom-up level trial was getting a big response from users because they knew the composition well.

That night, as usual, I prepared a warm cup of tea on my desk and tried to get in touch with the PC.

- Mr. K has entered the room.

- Good morning, Mr. K.

- Nice to meet you.

I entered the community chat room and began to look at the conversation of the day as I greeted people. A year ago, the story of Valentine's Day was becoming a big topic, and the recent release of the Dragon Emblem was heating up.

After a short greeting, the conversation quickly began to flow back to the dragon emblem theme.

- I've been playing catch-up all night, and now it's level 5... isn't this game really too salty? -

- I don't feel like clearing out monsters around town will level me up well. -

- More than that... it's already the 20th character. -

I'm the 38th character. -

- Damn it, it's just a trial. If a character dies in the first place, the game is over...

I wrote an answer at the end while looking at people's reactions.

- If you say so, you'll be the first to run and buy the DM2...

But now that Raon's body is empty, if the DM2 comes out...

I feel like I need to start a war...

- You must buy it during the first quantity. If you're unlucky, we'll have to wait until the 2nd and 3rd quantities are sold out. -

I've never paid a full price for a Raon game. -

- Goddamn rednecks. I didn't even have to play it anyway, but if I dropped something, I sold it for another 3-4,000 yen. I can see a lot of people in this community marketplace. -

-I think we need to get rid of a few members. -

Let me ask you a question. Who in this room has taken the DM Trial Level 10? -

Level -10?? My wish is to go above level 5 without dying. -

- If this thing dies, we're gonna have to rebuild the character first...

At that time, one user, who had been still, intervened in the conversation.

- I'm 9 now. Just a few more quests and you'll be ready for Level 10. -

- I'm 8, I'm still in the middle of an experience, but what about level 10? -

- Maybe the DM trial is the last one. -

- Oh, yeah? So did you take 10? -

- Yeah, about an hour ago, I hit 10. However, no matter how many monsters you catch in an hour, your EXP percentage won't increase. -

But you're amazing. What kind of character do you have? -

- A warrior, but a rather unusual warrior. -

- A strange warrior?

- It's annoying how many times I've died, and this character has invested all of his stats in defense each time he level up, and he has been transferred to level 10. -

Can you get a job on level 10? -

- Hey, what did you do for a living? Can I choose a job? -

As soon as you get to level 10, you'll see a notification window and it'll automatically turn into a shield knight. And where it was marked blank on the interface, it said, "Tanker."

- What the hell is that?

- The Position description says "Guardian of the Allies at the Front." -

- Protector of our allies? Yaaaa! This is cool. -

- Wait, I think I'll level up as soon as I get back to town. -

Congratulations. What did you do for a living? -

- Oh, I'm a warrior. -

- So you're a tank because you're the same warrior? -

- I hit the offensive side more than I hit the defensive side. You have just received a notification of your former role. -

- Oh, I envy you. - I want a job, too.

But the man who had been on the job had not said anything since. Thanks to this, the people in the chat room continued to ask a lot of questions about their previous jobs, as if they were rushing.

And after a while...

- I was assigned a Two-Handed Exam. -

Two-hand examination? What is that? What is a position? -

- Well, I'm a dealer. Position description is "Deadly Gladiator"... -

- Cool, dealer... how'd you raise your character? -

- I'm aggressive and hands-on. -

What do you like to do with your hands up? -

- When you hit or stop an enemy, your timing variation gets a little wider. So it's a little easier to put up a fight or to defend. But if your defenses are weak and your timing fails, it hurts a lot… -

- Ah!! So after leveling up, your job or position changes depending on your stats? -

- I think so. The defensive side is called the Tanker, and the aggressive side is called the Dealer...

Then some of the people in the chat room screamed.

- Aah!! Every time all the stats came in, I raised them one by one in order, and even my intelligence...

Do warriors need intelligence? -

- Oh, so we have to raise him again? -

At that time, a shield knight named Tanker asked the user who became the dealer.

- Hey... if you just transferred, did you open the Hobb Goblin Dungeon Quest? -

- Oh, yeah. Just now. But is this...? -

What is it? Will a new quest window open when I switch? -

After a while, the two-handed prosecutor spoke.

- I can't do this quest on my own. You will need 4 users who achieve Level 10 -

Looking at the chat room, I smiled as I swallowed a sip of herbal tea.
