Overgeared

“From this moment on, you will be connected to Battlefield.”

It was a special event where the details hadn’t been disclosed. All 1,500 National Competition participants this year hoped to take part in the event. It was somewhat unreasonable that the contents weren’t disclosed, but it was inevitable that they would covert the rewards. The moment the representatives of each country boarded the plane.

“The battlefield is a mini-map around 10,000 pyeong. It isn’t large enough for 1,500 people, but it boasts diverse terrain that makes it easy to develop a strategy. You will have to fight each other until there are three survivors remaining.”

The event details were released. There was a backlash.

"It sounds like a solo show. Isn’t this too unreasonable?”

"A battle in a limited space is unconditionally advantageous to those with higher specs. Isn’t this an event for just a few people?”

Viola and Ma Bongshik expressed their concerns. The other representatives were sympathetic. However, it was difficult to read Grid and Yura’s minds. The host explained in more detail.

"No, it’s a fair game. Battlefield is a completely separate server from Satisfy. Satisfy’s account information won’t be passed onto Battlefield and all players will receive a new character with the same stats.”

“...”

Gawk.

Everyone looked at Grid. Once he heard that the character he trained so hard wouldn’t apply to this event, how would he react? Everyone expected him to be angry. From Grid’s perspective, this event would be awfully unreasonable. But Grid’s expression was calm. He just sat in the capsule and listened to the explanation without any reaction.

'His vessel is big...’

‘Truly God Grid. If I was Grid, I would be arguing right now.’

As Eat Spicy Jokbal and the Korean representatives were admiring Grid’s attitude, what was the truth?

‘Wow, shit. Am I the only rotten person here?’

Grid’s insides weren’t mature. But he knew there would be no change so he remained silent.

Meanwhile, the host’s explanation continued.

“After entering Battlefield, you will have 10 minutes to select your class. There are four types of classes, all with the same stats, but different characteristics. Please think carefully and decide. After 10 minutes, the game will automatically start. Be sure to decide your class within 10 minutes. If you don’t, a class will be selected randomly for you.

The host explained the following rules:

1. The 1,500 participants will all be masked. The ID and face won’t be exposed to each other. The voice is also modulated. It is a measure to prevent certain forces from cooperating. However, the IDs will be shown to the viewers.

2. Immediately after entering Battlefield, all participants will have bare hands. Weapons will be scattered through the battlefield. It will be advantageous to find a weapon as soon as possible.

3. The game’s time limit is three hours. Once one hour passes, the map will gradually disappear and became narrower. The people located in those parts of the map will be destroyed. The alert window that appears before the map disappears shouldn’t be ignored.

4. It is a survival game aimed at being the last three, so there is no need to kill. You can stay hidden throughout the game. However, it is impossible to hide 10 minutes before the game ends because the map is very narrow. In order to win, you will have to fight.

5. Health and mana won’t recover normally. You have to unconditionally drink potions. When taking a potion to restore health, you will regain 7 health points. When taking a mana potion, you will regain 6 mana points. Recovery potions will fall from the sky every 5 minutes. The maximum number of health and mana potions that can be held are two each.

“It’s a separate game system, so you will quickly get used to it when playing directly. If you are the top rankers among two billion users, it’s easy to adapt to the new game.”

‘Eh...? It sounds difficult?’
