On the other side of the sea, a popular live strear by the na of Noala was beginning his stream.
"Are you going to complete the ga?" he read his chat. "If it’s good, yes."
- Will you be doing a sleepless run?
"Do I look like a masochist?"
- Yes, you do.
"Well, I am not a masochist. So, no, I am not going to do a sleepless run." He raised a finger and an eyebrow. "We will stream for like eight hours straight, though."
- That sounds brutal.
- Get a life, man.
- He is making millions, what do you an get a life?
"Alright, let’s get started," Noala said to his live audience of forty thousand.
He was the biggest strear in the world, and that number wasn’t even half of his regular audience.
He was a forr ga developer and writer, which made his success in the streaming industry even more uncanny.
While his forr professions did provide him with insight, nerds like that usually did not possess the charisma required to deal with public perception.
But Noala was different. He was calm and charming. Whether his fortunes were entirely because of his abilities or tily opportunities was debatable.
But undoubtedly, he was the best strear when it ca to RPGs, especially Xinema gas.
"The trailers hyped things up. Let’s hope the ga lives up to it."
On the day Heresy of the Fallen world released, it beca the third-largest launch according to first-day sales.

A week passed, and the popularity of the ga only continued to increase.
From new to veteran gars, it was being livestread to hundreds of thousands of viewers.
The reviews were stellar. The ga journalists and players alike had little to complain about.
9.4/10 from CreedGas.
4.7/5 from RetSeat.
Both sites praised the visuals, writing, voice acting, and gaplay.
Its popularity was evident from the ads on subways and the posts on forum sites.
Looking at the audience numbers on streaming sites was enough to give an idea about the storm it was creating.
Each day, hundreds of thousands of people were logging in exclusively to play and experience the beautiful world of this new ga.
Hundreds of videos were uploaded to SilkTube every day. Videos explaining the lore, showcasing the gaplay, guides for class builds, and general reviews occupied the trending list.
One of the beneficiaries of the ga’s popularity was Noala.
He had been streaming religiously for a week, and the fatigue was starting to get to him.
"Oh, lord," he yawned.
He had again spent an entire day imrsed in the ga.
"It’s getting late; I am going to sleep after this."
But his audience would not allow such blasphemy.
- Don’t leave!
- I just got off work, man. You are leaving already?
They kept insisting that he continue the stream.
"Y’all are enjoying this, huh?"
Noala’s player character was nad Noa. Coincidentally, it was the default or canon na of the character. He had dark hair, dark eyes, and a scar running down his right cheek.
Noala checked the ti.
"Alright, let’s get this side quest done. Then, we will sleep."
He drank a can of energy drink and leaned back into his chair.
- How far along are you?
"Currently," he paused, trying to rember. "I think I am seventy hours in."
- Are you sure you are ready to face this boss?
- You will get your ass kicked.
- You need to level up more.
"I’ll be fine."
- Catch up, please.
"We did a bunch of quests related to the past of the empire and received a clue to a side quest from a wandering knight."
Noa arrived at the palace of Trellise of Riever.
"And now, we are here."
He walked up to the man on the throne, whose eyes were covered with a thick veil.
It was King Trellise.
He stood up from his throne and approached his guest.
"Ah, you are here," he said, with a friendliness lacking royal dignity. "Co."
Noala’s mind was too groggy to pay attention to the cutscene.
- Is this a main quest?
"Uh, no. This is a side quest."
- Must be sothing big if the king is welcoming us.
Noala rushed through the story and cutscenes, yawning while drinking energy drinks.
"I will give you a keep and piles of gold. As much as you want." King Trellise sharply turned to Noa, despite his blindness. "But you must earn it."
His hands shook.
"Avenge ."
He took off the veil covering his eyes and showed a gnarly gash running through his upper face.
"That’s nasty!" Noala yelled. "Did they have to make it so realistic and ugly?"
And indeed, there was an option to react that way on the screen.
- Choose the first option!
- First one.
- Go for the first.
"I don’t want to lose this quest, guys."
"Bring the artifact that the previous Queen stole." His body shook with rage. "But most importantly, bring the head of that traitor, that runaway dog of the kingdom, that deserter."
He brought the vestiges of his eyes closer to Noa.
"Bring the head of Allaryx."
"Ah, I won’t be able to sleep tonight. This is torture," Noala said.
He took another gulp of his energy drink.
"Alright, tough guy. Let’s get the head of Allaryx."
- The na sounds kinda cool.
- Who’s Allaryx?
- Shouldn’t you ask around about him?
- The NPCs usually give out more information about quests.
"Don’t need it."
- You can read about nad NPCs in the royal library. Plenty of people do that. Makes battles easier.
"Skill issue!" Noala yelled at the top of his lungs.
- I looked up, and there is nothing about this quest online yet.
- I don’t think any content creator has done this quest yet.
- There aren’t any posts either, so it probably isn’t that impressive.
- Man, I have a bad feeling.
"Dude, it’s a ga."
He massaged his temples as Noa made his way towards the quest area.
"What’s the worst that could happen?"
