Irahan was the first user to successfully convert to "Jinma."

And that led to enormous advantages and combat capabilities.

Powers and stats that can only be possessed by the Horsemen.

In other words, the character that was originally a ranker had a buff of 10 to 20%.

Ten to 20 percent, which doesn't seem like much at first glance, but that wasn't the case.

It's like 200 level users have 240 level capabilities.

The advantage was that Irahan was attractive enough to give up all the skills and classes he had worked so hard to acquire.

Skills and skills will be weaker now than before, but it is clear that they will become stronger over time.

After all, Irahan became so strong, he wanted to suck this honey by himself.

‘How did I get this Hidden Piece... I can't easily share it with other users. ’

So there was a quest that he was postponing.

It was the ‘Birth of Magic’ quest received from Mahamu the Demon King as soon as Irahan became a leader.

This quest was not a very difficult quest and the reward was fine, but there was one problem.

As soon as the ‘Birth of a Magician’ quest was completed, regular users had the opportunity to become ‘Jinma’.

According to the quest contents, the Mausin Tower at the northern tip of the Central Continent is active for a certain period of time as soon as Irahan completes the Magical Birthday Quest.

And if you go there, all users will get a chance to get a quest to become 'Jinma’.

Of course, it may not benefit as much as the original Jinjin himself, but Irahan did not like it.

‘After I suck everything I can, I have to complete the quest. ’

But there was one part of Iran that he didn't think of.

It was the fact that the user who became 'Jinma’ was not a person.

[User Seycoon has completed the ‘Birth of Magicians’ Quest.]

[The ‘Birth of a Witch’ quest you had will disappear.]

[Failed to complete the 'Birth of Magic’ Quest.]

[Amity with the Demon King 'Mahamu’ decreases by 10.]

Irahan's face became a reflection.

What, did you have another demon besides me? ’

Additional streamlined system messages.

This time it was a world message that not only occurred to Iran, but to all Kailan users at the same time.

[The ‘Birth of Magic’ Quest is completed to activate the ‘Tower of Massin', which was hidden in the Hippia Valley of the Central Continent.]

[The Mashin Tower has been activated, allowing you to select a faction as a 'Horseman’ when you create a new character.]

[From now on, for a month, go to the 'Tower of Mashin’ and you will be given a quest that will allow you to transform your faction with 'Jinma’.]

:

:

A continuous world message.

And Iranian expression that was reading it became more and more crumpled.

‘Damn, I should have taken the reward...! ’

Starting with the friendship with the Demon King Mahamu, which had fallen 10 points due to quest failures, more than 100,000 prestige would have been earned if you had completed the quest.

And a powerful weapon for the Horsemen.

Irahan, who lost all of it, bites his lips and cries out.

“Damn it...! ”

However, he was unable to retrieve the quests that had already left his hand, and all he could do now was complete the other ‘Jinma's quests as quickly as possible.

"Phew, there was a competition, right? We should put tempo on the hunt a little bit more. ’

Irahan quickly picks up his sword and makes his way to the hunting ground.

He quickly achieved his target and then joined the Dimensional War to recover from the damage.

“No, why is the tower open now? ”

Exclusive meeting room for a large LB planning team.

LB was more invested in game planning than any other gaming company.

Of the LB skyscrapers over 20 floors, one floor was entirely a planning team with hundreds of planners holding Kailan alone.

In fact, since it's this big, this is how a huge game is planned.

“Gasoline, sir. We didn't really think about this part. I didn't think the user would deliberately postpone clearing after receiving the quest. ”

An event called 'Dimensional War' that began shortly after the advent of a new content called 'The Magic System’.

In fact, LB's planning team was going to add a new faction called the "Horses" through the World War.

The process by which the faction was added was a process for users to complete their quests, and until Irahan became the first advance, the game seemed to flow as they had designed it.

Park Yoon-sung, the head of the Balance Planning team, muttered as he looked at the documents in front of him.

‘If it had been the way it was, many of the users should have started the quest to become the Horsemen by now. A new user who selected a faction as the Horse should have created a character well. ’

Although not everything could be explained in one or two words, the 'Horses’ had what the Humans did not have, and conversely, they did not have what the Humans had.

Easy to say, there are pros and cons.

In the planning team at LB, we wanted to create a map in which humans, horses and Banma joined forces on the Central Continent to start a war against each other.

To do that, the number of users playing the Horses had to increase rapidly during the World War.

If a new faction is too dominantly occupied by an existing faction, many new factions of Marit will die.

In order for this valance to be beaten, this dimensional war that spun the monster waves had to go back to the Horsemen's victory.

The minimum proportion of horses that Park thought was in charge of the balance planning team was around 30%.

It meant that at least 30% of the users had to turn to the Horses.

It's only when all these plans come together that the images are made exactly as planned by the planning team.

However, a number of variables complicated LB's plans.

“For what it's worth, that greedy guy was just trying to take on the Jinma quest by himself. You should have seen this coming. ”

In the annoyed words of Park Yoon-sung, Kim's representative who was sitting across from him sighed deeply and excused himself.

“Actually, I didn't think there was any possibility. ”

“Is that so?"

“Yes, that's why, just before the opening of the World War, despite the opposition of a lot of people, we were able to scale up the difficulty of the Buryan monster wave. ”

“Hmm…. ”

“But the statement is that it's not just the user who does the variables. ”

“Hmm…? ”

All the team leaders and employees of the planning department gathered in the conference room waited for Representative Kim's next words.

“Whew…. Isn't there always one problem with our planning team? He's become an enormous variable. ”

Then groaning came from the conference room.

“No, what did he do without me knowing again? ”

“Phew... Can't you let him play a game? ”

Although no one mentioned his name, everyone in this room knew the username of the user he referred to.

Of course, his identity was Ian.

From time to time, in the planning team, the word 'Ian’ became almost taboo.

When I said "Ian," I almost immediately remembered the word "overtime."

Representative Kim said.

“I've been monitoring until just before I came up to the conference room. But about thirty minutes ago, he came up to see that he was taking on the dimension of the Mauria Empire. ”

There was sighing everywhere again.

“Ugh... Crazy... ”

“What, are you the neighborhood where the development team has finished? ”

“This can't be the same situation as the last time the boundary test was breached, right? ”

There were mixed voices of concern, and Kim's surrogacy resumed.

“Yes, thank God it's not like that. because he was also watching the development team. I heard the development team has been working late for almost a week. ”

“ …. ”

“Haha... Such a foolish thing.... ”

When the boy calmed down again, Kim's words continued.

“Anyway, to conclude... this dimensional war, once again, is increasingly likely to end with the triumph of the Humans. as opposed to what we're planning. ”

In the corner of the conference room, someone raised their hand and said,

“Hey, how is that possible? Do you really think he's gonna get the Mainlander and the Abyss Dragon before the monster waves are over? ”

Kim smiles bitterly and nods slowly.

“Yes. In his current pace... I think he'll get all his stuff on the 23rd or 4th and 28th at the latest and head for the Central continent. ”

“… Oh my…. ”

A word out of someone's mouth.

And that one word represented the feelings of everyone in this room.

The monster wave was originally an event that the users were not supposed to stop.

Humans had to be defeated in a dimensional war, and their original plan was to balance the horses and humans with the power of the new dragons that had been completed one step later.

You break the silence for a moment, and someone's voice comes out.

“Apparently, it wasn't just Kim Dae-ri... The variables are intertwined to create another unexpected situation. ”

Kim's reply was concise.

“That's right.”

“So what can we do now? ”

Kim's words open his mouth as he looks around.

“There are two choices, people. ”

Everyone waited for his next words without saying anything, and Kim's words slowly continued.

“The first is to pray hard. to make Ian make a mistake during the quest. Or someone gets Ian's home address and drops the blocker at the critical moment. Even if Ian gets a death penalty, he won't be able to complete the quest in 30 days. ”

The content itself was almost a joke, but no one laughed or was angry.

That sounds like a serious option to them.

“And the second thing... is to go back to our position right now... and start creating new content that will naturally feed the horsemen. Of course... overtime is necessary... ”

For all members of the planning department, it felt like a death sentence.
