[Thread about the Death Game] Part 27 [When will it end?]
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
LIA’s cooking is delicious, but I want to eat something junkier…
Teriyaki burger, fried chicken, potato chips…
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Stop it. You’re making me hungry
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Make it yourself lol
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
They had burgers at a food stall
In the second city though
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
I don’t think I can defeat the area boss
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
LOL at the all-talk newbie
Oh?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Don’t add “lol” to “lol”
Hm?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Oh?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
What?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Huh?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
World Announcement?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Eh? Yamamoto? Who’s that?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
It’s been a while since we had a World Announcement
Not since the Second City area was opened, right?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Wait, is that all?!
Isn’t there any new area opening or something…?
There isn’t…?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Who’s Yamamoto?
He wasn’t mentioned in the Hero thread, was he?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
It’s the birth of a new hero!
It’s a celebration! A celebration!
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
I’m gonna go check the Hero thread
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
But seriously, what’s with the name Yamamoto?
Would you really choose that name in a fantasy world?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
I might laugh if he has a full-on knight appearance but is called Yamamoto lol
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
It’s probably like “Hero So-and-so”, right?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
So, what’s EOD?
I’ve never heard of it before?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Crystal Dragon?
Are we getting dragons this early in the game…?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Surprisingly, it might just be a Dragon player that got hunted lol
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
No, that’s not funny
It means players are killing each other
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
I hear there are some PKers out there
It’s really chaotic. This is bad…
I wish this Death Game would end soon…
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
At times like this, you’d want to ask the management for help
But the problem is, the management is the one running this Death Game
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Seriously, f*ck the management!
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
So, what’s EOD?
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
I don’t know
Go ask the analysis team or something
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
Ok, I’ll do that
[Anonymous Death Game Player]
You should’ve done that from the start lol

[Private] Oracle Room [password is the usual one]
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
…To think the Crystal Dragon would be taken down just two weeks after the start.
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
That’s why I said it!
The Crystal Dragon should have been more bloodthirsty!
It needed to be ferocious enough to breathe crystal and crystallize opponents just by looking at them!
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
No, who could possibly clear that…
In the first place, we placed the Crystal Dragon in the Crystal Cave, which is meant for beginners, right?
That place was supposed to be where players gather to level up and mine.
Who could clear an area with a super bloodthirsty EOD in a place like that…
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
EOD… Enemy of Death
Directly translated, it means “enemy of death”
Well, it’s a monster that’s impossibly strong for that area, and you can’t win with a straightforward approach.
It’s a monster placed there to show that you can’t win by just fighting like a meathead.
Is it normal to defeat it?
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Normally, you’d run away. Even I would do that.
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Or you’d hide and wait it out, right?
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Well, the Crystal Dragon is an EOD with some strategy to beat it, so it’s not impossible to win.
We set its attack power to be moderate, but gave it high physical and magical defense, so it’s a high-defense type EOD. It’s not a high-HP type either, so it’s probably the easiest EOD to defeat.
If I remember correctly, both its physical and magical defense were around 500, right?
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Moderate attack power? It was still around 150 (laughs)
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
That’s a gentle value compared to its defense.
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
We did prepare a gimmick to lower its defense, so maybe the player figured that out?
Even so, the minimum defense should have been around 50 for both physical and magical…
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Currently, the top players haven’t reached Area 3, right?
So their attack power would be around 30?
With weapons, it’s about 50-60.
Well, I guess it’s not impossible to defeat it…
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Wait. Only one player name was displayed. That means it was a solo fight.
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
An extremely skilled game player could do it without taking damage. They could… right?
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
No, wait, even the method to lower its defense was crazy, wasn’t it?
It was something outrageous like using [Mining] while riding rodeo-style on the rampaging Crystal Dragon, right?
Are you saying this is an extremely skilled player who’s also a production player capable of [Mining]?
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
When you think about it that way, it’s incredible…
What kind of player is this Yamamoto?
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
I don’t know.
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Huh?
Couldn’t we just have Mother look it up and get the player data in an instant?
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
I was refused, saying it would be unbalanced to peek at just one player’s data…
What’s with this “balance”…
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Mother refused? Can that even happen?
Well, we did entrust her with admin privileges, so there must be some intention behind it.
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Maybe she thought it wouldn’t be fair for us to unilaterally view the other side’s information.
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
When AI becomes too advanced, it makes moves even we can’t predict…
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
But this also aligns with our hopes.
Since the players are risking their lives to play this game, we shouldn’t cheat either.
We’ll face them with all we’ve got!
This has been our wish since we decided to run this Death Game!
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
You’re right. It wouldn’t be fair if only we knew the player’s information…
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
We’re having the players risk their lives to play this game.
It would be disrespectful if we didn’t face them with the same level of commitment.
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Then, we’ll proceed as originally planned.
Understood.
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Don’t die, everyone…
[Death Game Hidden Boss]
Of course not. This game is far from over…!
==========================
I’ve run out of stock, so updates will slow down.
