Chapter 52 - The Heavens and the Abyss (2)
As the main story of Asrian began, Korean communities exploded.
But among all the people, non realized that the entity covered by black energy was a user.
Even Ain didn't realize that it was Hyun.
Everyone just looked at the video as if it were a movie scene.
Even users that normally skipped the story were focused on it. That's how imrsive the video was.
- Woah... It's the first ti I've forgotten how to breathe while watching a video.
- It was cooler than most action movies. Especially that last scene of fighting while climbing up the walls.
- Can you really make motions like that with just the ga engine?
- It really is a fight between angels and demons.
A few of them tried to guess about future events.
The developers had said that, on the video, there was a huge clue in regards to the history of Asrian. That's why many users tried to analyze it.
- In the last scene, you can see a demon escaping to the surface world. She's probably going to make the world fall into a conflict.
- Then the next story is about fighting against demons? I'm going to side with the Heavens after all.
- If you choose to side with the Abyss, maybe you'll be on the sa team with that demon.」
- But how do we participate in the story? Also, what force is it better to join?
After the patch, the prologue video and picking sides made the communities explode.
The one that made order of the chaos was, once again, the ex Asra player, Steel Rock.
「I'm Steel Rock, a forr Asra Online player. I was once ranked 20. I'm currently placed 819 on the Hall of Fa.
“I'm going to make a brief explanation since everyone seems confused.”
“First, unlike most other RPG gas, Asra Online's story isn't fixed!”
“What am I talking about?”
“The Heavens and the Abyss constantly fight against each other, and depending on the results of certain fights or events, a new future can be born.”
“To put it simply, Asrian's history will change depending on the faction the user belongs to!”
“You just have to join the side you want to help, but I don't recomnd staying neutral.”
“The buff each force gives you is quite useful, so joining either side ASAP will help you in regards to gaplay.”
“I've put the buff each side gives below, so consider these before deciding. ^^”
[
- Increase resistance to fire and wind by 10%.
- Increase rewards obtained by achievents by 30%.
- You can hide the faction you belong to by changing the rune. (*Take into consideration: You won't be able to fool so high-ranking priests or so nad NPCs!)
Steel Rock's guide was of great help to people that had just begun playing Asrian.
That was because he had explained the concept of both forces in easy terms.
In the community boards, there were already exclusive boards for "Heaven" and "Abyss."
Among the users who hadn't picked a side, many kept asking an endless number of questions.
- Among the Abyss Force's bonus, what's the 'Achievent Reward'?
- I'm also not sure. While playing, I've never received an achievent bonus.
- Oh, I have! I received it once I killed a Sli on a field. I got a notification that said that I had obtained an achievent and got an extra one strength!
- Hmm... 30% of 1 strength. Does that an your strength goes up by 1.3%? Is it just rounding up?
- It's trash...
Most users picked to side with the Heavens.
An extra 15% of experience obtained was sothing that most users lusted after.
15% may sound like a little, but as ti went on, the effect would beco greater.
Every six days of play, you basically would've gained an extra one compared to others!
Most users seed to agree.
Except for people with certain jobs like Assassin, they would benefit more from choosing to side with the Heavens.

Stardust Team.
Every player and the coaches were gathered to discuss what force to choose to side with.
Thanks to hiring soone who had played Asra Online for three years, they were able to discuss things in depth.
"There doesn't seem to be any reason to wonder about it any longer."
According to what they'd talked about, there was only one benefit from being part of the Abyss: That you could hide the force you belonged to by hiding the rune.
You could benefit from that if you were a solo player, but it wasn't useful to soone that belonged to a professional gaming team.
On the other hand, siding with the Heavens gave you clear benefits, so there was no reason not to select it.
"Then… all the mbers of Stardust are going to side with the Heavens."
The decision was made without any objection.
Everyone nodded at the director’s words.

Hwarang Guild.
Until a few weeks prior, it was South Korea's number one guild.
A lot of professional teams had begun playing Asrian recently, so you couldn't say that they were the number one by an overwhelming difference anymore—but they still maintained the number one position.
Imdiately after the main story patch, there was a notification for all the mbers of the Hwarang Guild.
