The virtual reality game Heroes Chronicle is like a work of art, realizing an entire world.

It's not a game about following a set quest to conquer a tower, but living in a free fantasy world.

Its not like those open worlds with just vast empty grasslands, nor does it have a linear quest line under the guise of freedom.

There are players who ran away as soon as they started, not wanting to become adventurers, only to end up as beggars; and there are famous international streamers who became rich through alchemy and trade, now preparing to buy a title of nobility.

Considering someone like me got soul-napped and thrown into this world, I can't help but wonder if this world is a direct copy of the real one, made into a game.

But mixing politics with a tower climbing story, what a mess....

This is a natural phenomenon brought about by the game's realism.

The power in the kingdom is divided among the royalty, nobility, and the temple.

Naturally, political issues arise when the temple takes interest and one of the royal family shows interest.

Just like how a chaebol protagonist inevitably encounters politicians and legal matters while making money.

An assassin dressed as a desert dancer begins to explain slowly.

"The princess, being the youngest daughter, is the furthest from the throne, but that's only when looking at it simply."

If theres a nerve-wracking rivalry between harpies and stone dwarves inside the tower, it seems a political nerve battle is unfolding outside due to the princess's appearance.

The deep brotherly love of the first and second princes, which kept the kingdom peaceful, is a thing of the past.

With the appearance of the kind princess, backed by the temple's power, both princes' hearts have changed too.

Warda explains that it has become a three-way battle for the throne, with the smart first prince, the brave second prince, and the kind third.

The first prince is smart, but he's arrogant, thinking the throne is his divine right. The second prince is brave, but his robustness leads him to look down on his brother and the princess.

From the standpoint of serving the princess, there must be some bias in her explanation, but it strongly suggests that neither prince is fit to lead the kingdom.

The first prince, as smart as he is, is steeped in elitism and believes hes a great firstborn chosen by the Goddess.

The second, though portrayed as brave, is hasty, violent, like a drunk Guan Yu.

The future of the kingdom seems very dark.

Of course, the princess, being human, can make mistakes. But at least shes kinder and wiser than the two princes and capable of ruling the kingdom properly."

Hey, this genre shift is making me dizzy. Factions led by the scholarly first prince and the martial second prince."

-Not bureaucrats and knights, but civil and military officials, what a mess

-Instead of the smell of fish sauce, it smells like soybean paste

-It was totally European when Waruda explained, but why does it become so Korean as soon as Han Se-ah speaks?

-Han Se-ah is more familiar with historical dramas than romance fantasy

-I understand and can roughly picture it, but the analogies are hilarious.

The viewers, who seem like they could start a revolution at any moment, are noisy.

Seeing skin that isn't pale but tanned is like dropping water into boiling oil - they react violently.

Of course, I had no choice but to react too.

Somehow, I knew it, the reward was unusually generous.

It's a respectable mansion complete with servants and magical tools.

Not as vast as the estate I planned to buy, but still, not something to be given away for just conquering the 40th floor.

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch - if you've eaten, you must expect to throw it up.

And it becomes even more complicated when the meal is offered by a politician.

"So, I hope the hero makes a wise choice"

In short, the story Warda relayed from the princess is that she wants the hero party to support the third princess to become the queen.

In a world where both the royal power and the heroes are bestowed by the Goddess, who would dare to doubt the legitimacy of the hero?

It means a political upheaval is imminent if Han Se-ah, after decapitating the 50th-floor boss, throws a few words of support for the princess.

Getting entangled in annoying politics, standing against the factions of the first and second princes, its going to be quite troublesome

"Yes! I will do that!"

It was a quest.

For Han Se-ah, there was no reason to refuse.

To Roland, a resident of the fantasy world, this matter was politically tedious, but for Han Se-ah, the player, it was just a side quest with no particular reason to refuse.

"Why did I accept it? Well, the princess is related to the temple. I doubt she's the strongest hidden villain who deceived the saintess and the goddess~ right?

-That statement just now kinda feels like foreshadowing

-Shes a princess knight with the Goddesss verification, what hidden villain?

-It's a clich that a princess knight turns into a dark knight but never a hidden villain

[Chat deleted by mod]

-Well, it's a shuttle with rewards, can't really refuse it. Itd be weirder to reject after taking everything

Regardless of politics or anything, the third princess is an absolute NPC, a reward shuttle chosen by the Goddess herself.

The mansion, the servants, the royal insignia, and the political repercussions of the temple's support fund...

I don't need to worry about such headaches.

Whether the princess falls into corruption or betrays us in the future, the quest is to be taken and cleared.

Would there be RPG players who stop leveling just because the great chief might become a crispy-on-the-outside, moist-on-the-inside lightning-grilled chicken later?

Whether for something trivial or to avoid becoming a slave, a player's duty is to take and clear quests.

"So now, what to do? Its getting late, shall we go to the tower tomorrow?

Its a bit awkward since someone from the royal family came. Warda, right? She came secretly to convey the message, right?

She came secretly, but she ended up subdued in Roland's room.

As Grace and I were discussing the princess and royal family, her gaze sharply turned toward me.

Prompted by her, everyone's eyes fly towards me.

Well, it was inevitable to receive such curious looks when an elegant assassin-like beauty climbs over the mansion wall, evading Grace's senses, only to be knocked out by a punch in the middle of the night and handed over to a maid.

Irene always looks at me with a kind, curious gaze, but Grace and Katie's stares are a bit more intense.

It's not the childish jealousy of bringing another woman to my room at night

Its more like a reprimand, questioning why I did that.

Why?

Roland, maybe next time, even if you feel it's suspicious, could you handle it a bit more politely?

Apparently, the viewers are laughing about something called 'belly punch,' but our innocent Grace and Katie seem to think I knocked her out because she seemed suspicious.

I didnt expect that lady to be clutching her stomach until the next morning just from one punch.

Even though shes a 4, holding her stomach and looking so miserable the entire time we spoke must have been a kind of protest.

No matter how weak an assassin's body might be, the effects of a lightly thrown punch for subduing her wouldn't last half a day.

Surely, theres no absurd setting in Heroes Chronicle like 'exposed lower abdomens are weak'?

Well, yeah, I was startled and threw the punch. But I did control my strength.

You did?

If I hadn't, she wouldve died.

Oh I guess thats true?

But our party members still dont realize their own strength.

Even though theyve reached the superior level of 5, where princesses bow their heads, nobles fret, and monsters shed tears, they dont seem to feel it.

It seems this happened because they havent experienced a real battle.

Just looking at how they admired the pathetic 4 assassin who was subdued by a single punch, thinking she was someone special for delivering the princesss message, makes it clear.

I mean, shes just a messenger, and you guys are a hero party?

Lets rest well today and head to the tower tomorrow. I plan to rent an alchemy workshop and make more arrows.

Ill go to the guild and see what I can find out about the 45th floor.

Oh, I think I need to stop by the temple.

As I was thinking this, my companions naturally dispersed.

Seeing Han Se-ah murmuring to the camera before quickly heading towards the Magic Tower and alchemy workshop, Katie and Irene naturally followed her.

Left alone with Grace as we walked towards the mansion entrance, she turned to me with a bright smile.

Hanna seems to be in a hurry. She looks so reliable inside the tower, but moments like this make her seem young.

Hmm Why?

Well, if shes going from the mansion to the Magic Tower, it would be much faster to take a carriage. She didnt even think to ask Sebastian to call a coachman and just dashed out. Its like a child excited to go out and play. Same with the other members of the party.

Now that she mentions it, that's true.

Han Se-ah

Are you rushing out like that because theres money involved, even though there are carriages and coachmen prepared for players?

Thanks to everyone rushing off, Grace and I were the only ones left to board the carriage prepared for us.

Neither of us had anything particular to do, so maybe we should go out on a date.
