Chapter 1
Today began no differently than usual.
I woke up before sunrise, got ready for work, chased away the remaining drowsiness with the cold morning air, and boarded the hellish subway.
The sa faces every day.
The familiar tasks that repeated every ti.
After dealing with them, I would have a late lunch.
Even then, when the work wasn't finished, I barely managed to complete the remaining tasks by taking bites of a sandwich I bought from a convenience store.
Just then, my smartphone vibrated once.
I instinctively checked my smartphone, assuming it was just so useless advertisent, but I couldn't believe my eyes.
And I ntally applauded my wise choice for not ignoring this vibration and checking it.
"...My goodness. A D&K update? So they didn't abandon the ga after all."
It was good news after a long ti. D&K.
A ga released about a year ago, it might be plumting now with no bottom in sight, but at the ti of its release, it enjoyed revolutionary popularity.
The reason for its popularity was its overwhelming level of artificial intelligence and the interactions based on it.
The responses, like dealing with real people rather than chanical NPCs, garnered huge praise.
Not only the heroes I led, the squad mbers, and the main NPCs of the ga's progression, but even passing pedestrian NPCs captivated countless gars with their lifelike appearance, as if they were real people who perceived and acted on their own, not just fragnts of data.
However, if there are advantages, there are disadvantages.
Project D's difficulty was too high, way too high.
To put it bluntly and honestly, it was hellish.
And it was unreasonable.
Most gas are designed so that if there's a chapter, you can sohow clear it.
If you fail, you can change your strategy and restart, and if that doesn't work, there's also the option to repeat previous chapters to strengthen your heroes.
There's also the last resort of spending real money.
But this damn D&K had none of that.
Under the pretext of depicting realistic warfare, squad mbers who died in combat were lost forever.
Even if you cherished a hero and wanted to get them back, death was irreversible, and the player would have an eternal farewell with that hero.
You could restart the chapter, but what good was that if the hero needed for clearance was dead?
That's not all.
Situations where a single squad of five had to engage a battalion, or even a division-level unit, frequently occurred.
Even more seriously, if all troops in the unit were wiped out or the player character died, it was ga over.
If the player character died, it was ga over at that mont; even if all squad mbers died, it was ga over imdiately.
No matter how much ti and effort you poured in, that account would be suspended.
Real money?
These guys, I wondered if they even intended to make money with this ga, as it was designed so that you couldn't spend money even if you wanted to, except for the initial purchase cost.
Due to the astonishingly malicious difficulty, countless users had their accounts suspended or gave up and left, and the influx of new users beca non-existent.
Now, only a few true veterans who enjoyed such painful processes remained.
Once a ga that shook the world, it was now a ga with the worst ratings, known only to a few.
Moreover, it had not received a single update since its release, practically abandoned.
Naturally, I thought the ga company had given up on it, but today, exactly one year later, news of an update suddenly arrived.
The community was heating up, thinking that new players would finally be joining.
"Should I take a look?"
I leisurely opened the announcent.
It had been a ga I enjoyed so much that I was deeply engrossed in it, and now, after a whole year, an update was finally here, bringing back fresh mories.
The mont I touched the link with an excited heart, I felt the faint smile on my lips quickly disappear.
"Are they crazy?"
A loud voice involuntarily escaped my lips.
I felt the gaze of several employees who were resting in the sa space turn toward .
The announcent contained a phrase that made doubt my eyes.
