Chapter 12: God's Game Online (Part 4)
The Ragdoll Cat changed its posture and licked its fur again, saying, "Binding successful. Please create your game character and choose a name."
Familiar with this process, Cha Dan-pung knew it was time for character creation.
He rubbed his hands together, eager to create a tall and handsome character.
However, the game provided such realistic character models with many customization options that it felt overwhelming.
Cha Dan-pung was engrossed in character creation for a long time.
When he finally looked up, he realized that half an hour had passed, and the comments in his live streaming were filled with angry remarks about his delay.
Cha Dan-pung: "…"
Noticing him looking at it, the Ragdoll Cat asked, "Are you ready to confirm the character creation?"
Cha Dan-pung thought that if he didn't enter the game soon, the viewers would go crazy, so he quickly nodded his head.
The Ragdoll Cat placed a paw on Cha Dan-pung's shoulder and said, "Have a great time in the game."
With that, the mist before him dissipated.
Cha Dan-pung felt a sensation of sinking downward, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pitch-black church.
Everything he saw was astonishingly real to Cha Dan-pung; he could even smell the mustiness in the air.
He stretched out his hands, moved around, and experienced no lag— it felt like controlling his own body.
Focusing on the game screen, he noticed the comments flooding in, mostly consisting of "Wow!" as the viewers marveled at the holographic game's realism.
"Hero, you have arrived. Please come this way," a gravelly voice called out.
Cha Dan-pung recognized this as an NPC that would guide him, so he walked over toward him.
The priest from the game's promotional video was standing at the church entrance, and upon seeing him come toward him, he said, "Hero, you have finally arrived."
Cha Dan-pung was distracted by the scenery outside and muttered to himself, "I hope I'm not late. Why don't I see anyone else?"
Father Barry, who was nearby, was momentarily stunned and thought the question was directed at him.
He responded, "Other heroes have already gone off to complete their quests."
After Father Barry finished speaking, he noticed that Cha Dan-pung was looking at him with a peculiar expression.
He wondered if he had made a mistake.
Recalling Hanjun's instructions on how to handle the heroes, Father Barry calmly allowed Cha Dan-pung to look at him.
Cha Dan-pung asked the viewers, "Everyone, did that NPC just answer my question?"
[ GiggleMuffin: It seems like it. As expected of a holographic game, even the NPCs are this smart. ]
[ Cha Dan-pung's Most Wanted: Ask the NPC again and see what happens next. ]
While Cha Dan-pung was talking to the viewers, Father Barry heard him as well.
Not knowing that Cha Dan-pung was doing live streaming, he thought he was just talking to himself.
Since Hanjun had said to ignore strange reactions from the players, Father Barry didn't think much of it.
When Cha Dan-pung stopped talking to himself, Father Barry took the initiative to start the conversation, "Hero, you arrived just in time. The demon army that was created by the God of Darkness broke through the defensive line of the human army two days ago and is now heading toward Ulon Town. The demon army is too powerful for the town to resist it on its own.
The town is in imminent danger and needs your help."
