NOVEL NEXT chapter 18
18 – From Mangem to Godgame (2)
Leonplay Headquarters Auditorium.
10 A.M. On the day of the Epic of Seven’s Cataclysm update.
There is only 30 minutes left until the maintenance ends and the game server opens.
“Finally, we are going to confirm! Are all systems working normally?”
“The server allocation is perfect.”
“The twisted River Town NPC code has been fixed!”
“Fixed the overlapping bug with Ether and boss room sounds!!”
It seemed that the preparations were almost over. Employees who were busy moving began to take their seats.
I glanced at my watch.
9:50 Am
Exactly 10 minutes left until the server opens.
The normalization of Leon Play, which lasted for about three months, was quite arduous.
Employees stayed up all night in an office that smelled of coffee.
With the boundaries between daytime, nighttime, weekends, and holidays disappearing, the time of three months was infinitely divided into moments devoted to planning and development.
The process of breathing new life into the game I had dedicated my life to, every moment was new and fresh.
To be honest, I forgot even the flow of time for three months.
9:59 AM
“I will open the server!”
This is the most tense moment in my life.
In terms of gameplay, billing has become an ‘optional’ rather than a ‘required’, and the client has been modified with a large amount of money.
In addition to the addition of new content, a large-scale balance patch was also carried out.
I can’t say with certainty that it’s a perfect game, but at least I can say that it’s transformed into something more than a game-down game.
“After… “
I caught my breath and moved my gaze to the large monitor.
Numerous indicators fluctuating in real time were displayed on the monitor.
And…
“The number of concurrent users has exceeded 10,000!”
The number of 10,000 real-time concurrent users broke through in an instant.
This is an unprecedented rise.
“We have surpassed 20,000!”
“We have surpassed 30,000!”
“Oh! Keep going up!”
The numbers keep going up without stopping.
The voice of the employees watching together was also gradually increasing.
“Is the server holding up well?”
“The server side is relaxed!”
Of course you should be relaxed.
How much money did you spend on server expansion?
“80,000 Concurrent users!!!!”
Epic of Seven’s cataclysm patch was a huge success.
The number of people in the past, which was close to 1,000, was already close to 100,000.
“From 80,000, it continues to grow!”
“We have exceeded 100,000 users!!!”
100,000 Real-time verb visitors.
This is a figure that is in the ranks of the super hit by domestic PC game standards.
It is extremely rare for a mobile game to record this level of real-time concurrent users.
Epic of Seven is designed to run on multiple platforms by itself, so it’s difficult to see it as a complete mobile game.
Even considering this, there is no room for refutation that it is a great record.
The auditorium was filled with cheers.
I expected that it would be crowded.
Everywhere I went, there was only talk about Epic of Seven.
The ripple effect of the marketing that contained the ‘narrative’ I planned far exceeded my expectations.
But it is not expected to the end.
What is that emotion when what you have only pictured in your head becomes a reality right in front of you?
I was more emotional than I thought.
“The response is the best ever, CEO. We did it!”
Kim Hyeon-seo, the head of the marketing department, looks at me with an expression as if she is about to cry.
This person also suffered quite a bit for three months.
I have to take care of the merit-based pay.
She looked at her and opened her mouth.
“It will probably stay like this for a while.”
I wonder if I set the start date of the contest after the cataclysm patch.
For a while, all communities and internet broadcasts will be buzzing with Epic of Seven.
Experts in each field will try to take Eose for at least a week to apply for the contest.
What if that happens? Like a challenge, massive content reproduction will be made starting with EOSE.
The overwhelming virtuous cycle will lead the large-scale influx procession of the Eocene, and what Leonplay has to do is to thoroughly keep the principle of ‘game-like game’.
“Let’s thoroughly monitor users’ reactions and prepare a thank-you reward to commemorate 100,000 concurrent users. Spread it out enough to feel like it’s too much.”
She nodded her head vigorously with her thrilled superior expression.
hahahaha.
Epic of Seven, a splendid resurrection success.
****
“hehehe.”
He let out a sinister laugh like a man with a screw missing.
No matter how much I laughed like a madman, the ecstasy that covered my whole body didn’t seem to cool down.
The entire internet was buzzing with praises for Epic of Seven.
We monitored the reactions to Epic of Seven by moving our fingers nonstop, as if to satisfy our hunger.

Eose 24 Hour Play Review
[Text]
Just a word
It’s insanely fun ㅇㅇ
From the Etella Kingdom tutorial in the beginning to the siege quest, I really breathed and immersed myself in the game.
At first, to be honest, I started to take pictures of the contest, but then I found myself giving up eating and drinking and immersing myself in the game.
I’ve never seen a mobile game with such low billing induction.
If you just invest your time with no charge, you can enjoy the final content.

But Luktal can’t give up lol
How can you stand this hahahaha
[Comment]
-This is really fun like crazy.
N This kind of game is a legend that I have heard about Mangem.
Now I hear the sound of God Game, but before the takeover, it was a junk game.
-The number of concurrent users has exceeded 100,000, but there is no lag in the game and it is very pleasant.
ㄴ The owner of the game company is out of luck, but he must have paid money to expand the server hahahaha
-Because of the contest, all the streamers of the company are coming to EOS hahahahaha
ㄴCosplay is also available, so everyone who cosplays will be on the field hahahaha
The marketing of the b contest was really f*cking innovative hahahahaha
Ssiik-
I bet everything on Epic of Seven’s gameplay.
My gamble seems to have paid off.
After erasing all the elements that interfered with gameplay, the true value of Epic of Seven was finally revealed.
Looks like my job is roughly finished.
It’s safe to say that the splendid revival of Epic of Seven, which was the original goal, was successful at this level.
The handover was completed, and the direction the game should move forward was clearly set.
The time has come to return to my daily life.
Diring!
My cell phone rang loudly at the text message from Suhyeon.
[Soohyun: Is the voice actor alive TT]
[Suhyun: (crying fox emoji)]
Come to think of it, it has already been more than 3 months since I met Suhyeon.
After meeting and eating at a real estate, we only communicated intermittently.
Obviously, we confirmed that we had a crush on each other, but if you ask if we are in a dating relationship, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
If you are sure about each other’s feelings, someday there will be progress in this vague relationship.
[Me: No, I died]
[Me: (fainted mouse emoticon)]
[Suhyun: ^^;]
[Suhyeon: Do you know PD Hyeyeon?]
PD Hyeyeon?
It’s an unfamiliar name I’ve never heard of.
[Me: I’ve never heard of it?]
[Soohyun: Then, do you know ‘I live alone’ during variety shows?]
[Me: Ah yes, you know that]
‘Do I live alone’
This is a variety show that candidly shows the daily lives of single celebrities who live alone.
Isn’t it the same as a giant in the entertainment industry who achieved the overwhelming viewer ratings in just 5 episodes?
It is famous for showing unusual fun through the daily lives of celebrities who are wrapped in veil.
[Soohyun: I live alone. You’re the general manager. You have a good relationship with me.]
[Suhyun: But he wants me to connect with you.]
[Soohyun: Do you have an idea?]
[Me: me? You’re not even a celebrity?]
The core of this entertainment show is to satisfy the curiosity and fun of the public by showing the daily lives of celebrities that anyone can know.
But you want me to appear? Who is curious about my daily life?
[Soohyun: You are more famous than most celebrities right now… ?]
[Soohyun: I said I’d see the question, but if you say you don’t like it, I’ll refuse!]
Anyway, the value of my name seems to have pierced the ceiling.
Looking at the fact that major entertainment programs have also received offers.
My steps have been very unconventional.
[Suhyeon: (Rabbit urging emoticon)]
Fishik-
I’m saying it again, but I’m definitely interested.
[I: call.]
If you look at what you are already looking forward to.
