The God's Games

The interface he saw was different from the one shown to players.

Looking at his own appearance, Kim Jung-hyun noticed he was wearing a white uniform with glasses perched on his nose.

He looked a lot like a nobleman, but when he checked his identity, it said:

—GM.

Kim Jung-hyun felt a bit unsure at first, but after thinking it over, it made sense.

After all, he was a company employee, so entering the game with his employee status meant he would be like a GM in the game.

He wandered around and explored what he could do with this identity, discovering that, like other players, he could go anywhere and even buy things from the shops.

By the way, he checked his money and found he actually had quite a lot of funds.

Thinking this was probably how most GMs worked in games, Kim Jung-hyun decided to buy a bottle of Chupa Chups and wandered around.

His appearance is particularly eye-catching, and it didn't take long for the players to notice there was something strange about him.

When a player tried to talk to Kim Jung-hyun, they noticed he just gave a slight smile and said nothing.

Instead, the system prompted them.

[ Do you have anything to report to the GM? ]

The player was full of questions: "???"

"When did this game get a GM? And why is he dressed so cool?" They were completely caught off guard.

The player wanted to say more, and Kim Jung-hyun noticed the system prompt too.

He responded, "If you have any issues, you can report them to me. The Church of Light will help solve these problems."

Though he mentioned the Church of Light, it was actually his colleagues who handled such issues, Kim Jung-hyun thought to himself with a silent smile.

Since the player couldn't think of any problems to report, Kim Jung-hyun politely said goodbye and, still holding his bottle of Chupa Chups, he slowly made his way to where Hanjun was.

Earlier, he had received a message from Hanjun along with the system notification.

Since he was already in the game, it was time to meet his coworkers.

Kim Jung-hyun felt excited, thinking, "After being employed here for so long, am I finally going to meet my colleagues?"

This was thrilling news.

Ever since the 10,000 beta testers joined the game, Hanjun's little cottage was no longer a safe place; players often surrounded it.

So, Hanjun moved to a new location, believing the most dangerous place was actually the safest.

Hanjun found a suitable house from Flower Deer's design drawings and, using his special privileges, made it his own.

Kim Jung-hyun entered through a small door and heard the sound of loud chatter inside.

Suddenly, a white figure rushed out—a majestic white wolf stood in front of Kim Jung-hyun, staring at him intensely, without moving an inch.

Kim Jung-hyun was startled until he heard Hanjun's voice from inside, "Snowball, come back."

Kim Jung-hyun knew there was an NPC named Hanjun in the game, which had the same name as his boss.

At first, he thought this NPC was just using his boss's name.

Now, he realized that it was actually his boss playing the NPC role in the game!

Suddenly, it all made sense to Kim Jung-hyun—why his colleagues were never in the office.

If he considered his boss's approach, it seemed like most of them were actually working inside the game and didn't need to come to the office.

Thinking this way, Kim Jung-hyun understood everything.

Luckily, Snowball didn't seem too hostile toward him.

Hearing Hanjun's call, Snowball obediently returned to his side and even led Kim Jung-hyun inside.

Kim Jung-hyun followed Snowball and soon saw the young-looking Hanjun standing there with Father Barry beside him.

Looking closely at the young Hanjun, Kim Jung-hyun noticed that his appearance was somewhat like his real-life self, meaning they had created their avatars to look like their real selves.

It's too bad that Kim Jung-hyun didn't have a mirror, so he had no idea what he looked like in the game.

When Hanjun saw Kim Jung-hyun coming in with Snowball, he waved at him, "You're here."

Kim Jung-hyun cautiously took a few steps forward and greeted Father Barry, though his movements were a bit stiff.

If the players found out that the new NPC they were interacting with was actually played by a real person, they would surely be surprised.

Meeting the legendary senior in person made Kim Jung-hyun feel a little nervous.

Father Barry smiled at him kindly.

Hanjun helped introduce them to each other, "This is Kim Jung-hyun, my new employee. He'll sometimes be in the game to help me with things, but most of the time, he'll be working in the office."

"And this is Father Barry, whom you probably already know. He's currently in charge of managing all of Ulon City."

Kim Jung-hyun nodded his head in understanding and reached out his hand to Father Barry, "I just joined recently, so please take care of me."

Father Barry looked a bit puzzled, glancing at Hanjun and then back at Kim Jung-hyun.

Kim Jung-hyun quickly realized that some people just don't like shaking hands, which he could understand.

He withdrew his hand and said, "I get it. People like you, who work in tech, often have some quirks. I understand."

Seeing that Hanjun didn't say anything, Father Barry just felt the person in front of him was a bit odd and replied, "I'm simply doing what is within my responsibilities."

Kim Jung-hyun nodded, understanding his words.

Isn't this just saying that he's doing his job?

It seems being an NPC isn't that easy.

Father Barry: "..."

He felt like the other person was thinking about some strange things.

Hanjun told Father Barry to meet with Kim Jung-hyun so that Kim Jung-hyun would know whom to communicate with the next time he enters the game.

The rest was about the news coming from Hallyne.

Hallyne, following Hanjun's suggestion, went to the Magic Tower to connect with his contacts.
