Isekai Online Game Developer - Chapter 77



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

There was a game I played quite diligently at one time: ‘Hidden Attack’.

At the time, it was probably a game that even people who didn’t play FPS games would have heard of.

It’s hard to say it’s the original, but it’s probably the first and most widely known FPS.

I had decided to make ‘Hidden Attack’ as my next game.

“La, Lai… I found a bug…”

At that moment, Hina came up to me and spoke to me, leaning in front of the door and hesitating.

Maybe it was because I’ve been cooped up in my lab for the past few days, but I’ve been feeling shy again.

It’s been years since we’ve been together, but it’s strange how I become shy again after not seeing him for a few days.

Anyway, it was perfect timing.

“We’ll fix that together with tomorrow’s patch. For now, Lord Matap, come for a moment.”

“Uh, huh? Yeah.”

‘Hidden Attack’ was a game with virtually no fantasy elements.

Conversely, in this world, ‘Hidden Attack’ would rather be seen as a fantasy.

A gun that explodes with gunpowder without magic.

Armor items such as bulletproof vests that are not magical shields.

Technology that may seem primitive in this world, but is actually highly advanced.

It would definitely be a new game, but the question was whether people would accept it.

“Do you know of a weapon called a gun?”

“A, a gun? Huh? Gun gun gun gun gun? Are you, are you talking?”

When asked about the gun, Hina clumsily imitates the recently popular rabbit reaction, making noises.

It seemed that the concept of guns itself was unfamiliar in this world.

“Well, to give you a rough idea, it would be something like this…”

I took up my stance, holding the gun I had created with my imagination.

It was a K2 rifle used during my military service.

Even though it’s a memory from a past life, I remember the structure clearly and the pose comes out automatically as soon as I hold it.

Memories of military life are undoubtedly engraved on the soul.

“Hey, what is this?”

“It’s a gun. It’s a type of weapon that shoots bullets through a small hole.”

“Huh…? Oh, the one that appears in COL?”

“It’s a little different, but I’ll show you.”

bang-!

Simultaneously create the illusion of gunshots and bullets flying in an instant.

“Whoa-!!”

Even though she knew it was an illusion, Hina was surprised and fell over with a loud scream.

“Hey, are you okay?”

I hurriedly dispersed the illusion and supported Hina.

He was so surprised that he had tears in his eyes.

“Wow, what was that just now?”

“It’s a gun. It fires small rocks at great speed with small explosions that pierce the enemy’s body.”

“Yeah, it felt really dangerous.”

“sorry.”

It seemed that even though he didn’t know there was a gun, he instinctively felt danger.

“The next game I’m going to make is one where you fight with these guns. It’s similar to the ones in COL, but a bit more realistic, I guess?”

“Is this reality…?”

“It’s a little more physics-free. Anyway, do you think it’ll be okay?”

“I don’t know what it is, but… it sounds fun.”

As expected, Hina is born with the talent of a gamer.

Just from this, I think I was able to roughly draw what the game would be like.

Suddenly introducing the concept of a real ‘gun’ to the world may be difficult to accept.

In the case of COL, it seemed like it was accepted as some kind of magic.

Because the guns in ‘Hidden Attack’ were literally real guns.

I went into production after shooting a few more fantasy shots at people.

A state of familiarity with various concepts through fantasy.

At this point, I thought I would be able to enjoy this game soon.

So I started working on ‘Hidden Attack’ for several months.

***

“Hmm… There is no such thing as a peaceful era.”

The emperor is half-lying on the throne, sipping a drink.

I was just taking a break after doing COL for 5 hours.

The emperor’s routine these days is to do COL, mumble about reality, and talk about maple leaves.

Sometimes he would compete in automatic chess with the imperial ministers.

“I think it’s a bit boring…”

The game was still fun.

The thrill of action, the excitement of winning at COL, and the fun of playing auto chess.

The Emperor felt that everything was the same, but for some reason, the stimuli seemed to have weakened.

Even though I played the game the same way as usual, not every moment was thrilling.

Now I know most of how the game is going to play out, and only briefly feel the thrill when the moment of pleasure arrives.

Of course I couldn’t quit, but these days I don’t really feel pleasure when I’m not playing games.

And always in pursuit of greater thrills.

“Hmm… I guess I need to stretch my body after a long time.”

He’s been playing too many games lately.

Originally, the emperor did not neglect to wield the sword even in his old age.

He was a conqueror before he was an emperor, and a warrior before that.

Having experienced wars of conquest, he did not dislike battle.

“It’s been a long time since you held a sword, Your Majesty.”

“I don’t want my skills to get rusty. I feel like I’ve been playing games too much, so I plan on swinging my sword more often from now on.”

“You have thought well. Even in times of peace, a knight’s sword must not become dull.”

The Emperor clashes swords with the Knight Commander for the first time in a while.

It felt like going back in time, which wasn’t a bad feeling.

“Come to think of it, the Fantasy Tower has been quiet lately.”

“hmm?”

“It’s been a while since I thought it was time for a new game to come out.”

“Oh, I see. Oh, oh… That’s what it was.”

While talking to the Knight Commander, the Emperor had an epiphany that struck him on the head.

The cause of the boredom I’ve been feeling lately.

By this time, there should have been a new game out to entertain me.

However, the Fantasy Tower was busy with a series of incidents and the Colchamps.

Since I couldn’t play new games, there was no new stimulation.

And then an imperial minister came running and shouted.

“Your Majesty! I heard that the Fantasy Tower is releasing a new game!”

“What?”

Even dragons say they’ll come if you call them.

At that news, the emperor immediately threw down his sword and ran.

“I wonder what happened.”

The Knight Commander sighed as he looked at the Emperor’s back, as if he had expected it.

His promise to wield his sword often in the future seemed unlikely to be kept.

Then the Emperor contacted the Fantasy Tower and asked when the next game would be released.

The new game ‘Hidden Attack’ will be released in a week.

The emperor spent his nights like a child waiting for his birthday.

And finally, the day ‘Hidden Attack’ was released.

“… What the heck is this?”

The emperor who ran the game couldn’t help but be perplexed.

The background is a gray space made up of unidentifiable rocks.

The characters wore bizarre clothes I had never seen before, and they fought without any magic or swordsmanship.

“Gun… Ira.”

The weapon was a gun.

When you pull the trigger, a small thing called a bullet flies out with a strong recoil.

And when it hits an opponent, blood spurts out and the opponent’s health is drained.

It was a bizarre world, but the gameplay itself was simple.

Just shoot at your opponent and kill him.

“This is harder than I thought…”

The Emperor struggled for quite some time when playing for the first time.

Unlike bows and spears whose trajectories were clearly visible, the movement of bullets was difficult to track with the human eye.

Just by being the aimer, you had to aim at the opponent.

The scope was so small that it was difficult to even see it clearly.

But after doing it a few times, I quickly got the hang of it.

“Oh oh! That’s right!”

Enemies that fall when you aim accurately.

The pleasure was further enhanced by the impact that came with the gun’s recoil.

“It brings back old memories.”

‘Hidden Attack’ was fundamentally different from the existing ‘Maple Leaf Story’ or COL battles.

In previous games, it felt more like you were knocking down enemies rather than killing them.

It feels like a kind of game where you just use magic to deal more damage than a certain amount of health and then fall.

But ‘Hidden Attack’ was different.

Anyone can see that this is a game that really kills people.

If you hit a non-lethal spot, it doesn’t cause instant death.

If you hit a vital point like the head, the opponent will die in one shot.

When it hit, the blood coming out was just as real.

My adrenaline was pumping.

It felt like I was on a battlefield in the past.

The feeling of murder was still pungent and sticky.

But the feeling of narrowly avoiding death and killing the opponent.

The feeling of being the only one to survive, having cut off the enemy’s breath, in a situation where your whole body feels like it’s going to break apart and blood is flowing out.

This was a real battlefield.

If you can’t kill someone because there’s a lot of bloodshed, then you die.

You have to focus solely on killing your opponent. Otherwise, you are filled with fear that you will die.

Real battlefield. Real death.

A feeling I thought I would never feel again after the era of peace came.

In ‘Hidden Attack’, it was presented to the emperor again.

The emperor, as was expected, also fell for the ‘hidden attack’.

***

After countless people started enjoying ‘Hidden Attack’.

Most people had become accustomed to a new, imaginary weapon called a ‘gun’.

A weapon that is much more convenient and impactful than a sword.

At first, Rye’s worries were for naught, and people were enjoying themselves.

“this…”

But not everyone was enjoying it.

“I think I could actually make it.”

Somewhere on the continent.

An alchemist was seriously exploring guns.
