“…Virtual Reality?”

Alberu Crossman was the one to show his confusion.

Cale, who had been blankly nodding his head at Ahn Roh Man’s comment, looked toward Alberu.

However, Alberu only looked at Ahn Roh Man and asked for an explanation with his gaze.

– In simple terms, it is another reality but one that doesn’t exist.

“Does not exist?”

– Yeah. You use a device to enter that world and you can feel all of your senses. You can also make all sorts of things happen in that world. However, the moment you step out of the connecting device-

Ahn Roh Man lifted up his empty hands.

– You can no longer touch that world. Only the mana and the device that was used to create that world exists.

“Mm.”

Cale crossed his arms and leaned back on the couch.

‘Mana-’

Ahn Roh Man’s Earth 3…

That place seemed like a fusion of Kim Rok Soo’s Earth and Cale’s Nameless 1.

‘It is a place with magic and aura. But they also have all sorts of cold weapons.’

It seemed like a world where a lot of things were mixed together.

Cale watched Alberu and Ahn Roh Man ask and answer before focusing on what Ahn Roh Man was saying.

– Of the energies that exist in nature, mana has the most transformability. My parents believed that its transformability could not only create the virtual reality world, they also believed that it would be able to handle the game users leading the world in different directions.

It could be considered a form of magic engineering.

– Of course, there were a lot of places proceeding with that research. However, they could not defeat the algorithm that my mother and father created.

“Did they manage to create the game?”

– Yeah. They finally managed to complete it.

Cale stopped listening and interjected.

“I feel like a project of that scale would have been kept as a secret.”

– That’s right, sir. It was a secret. Of course, my parents informed the chief executives of the company.

“Including your uncle, the Vice President?”

– Yes sir. Once my uncle learned the truth, he claimed that we needed to receive investors.

“Your parents must have rejected that.”

Ahn Roh Man nodded his head.

– Yes sir. Our company at the time had its internal affairs extremely firm but its size was not big. We also did not have many employees. Because of that, we felt that the likelihood of the company being stolen was high if we received investments.

“It is surprising that they managed to create a virtual reality game with such a small group of employees.

-…….

Ahn Roh Man was silent for a bit before he responded.

– My father was the greatest developer while my mother was the greatest magic engineer. The two of them truly were geniuses.

He then shrugged his shoulders.

– Of course, the virtual reality that the two of them developed was not as complete as the game that the Transparent Bloods have released. It was closer to a prototype.

Alberu opened his mouth.

“Your uncle ended up dragging the Transparent Bloods in.”

– That’s right.

Cale and Alberu… The two of them did not ask what happened to Ahn Roh Man’s parents after they had their game stolen.

Ahn Roh Man had also said the following.

‘A world created with his parents’ blood and sweat.’

Ahn Roh Man shrugged his shoulders after seeing the two of them being quiet.

Crown prince Alberu watched him before nonchalantly commenting.

“I’m surprised you managed to rise to the position of President. If I was a member of the Transparents, I would not have left you alive.”

– Haha-!

Ahn Roh Man laughed.

– Yeah, I’m sure they would have done that if they knew that I knew the whole truth.

“They don’t know?”

– Of course not.

Ahn Roh Man’s story continued.

– The project was stopped because my parents suddenly passed away in an unfortunate accident. Furthermore, the company struggled because of attacks from competing businesses. In that situation, my uncle said that he would take things to the Transparent Corporation to protect my parents’ dying wishes and save all of us.

Ahn Roh Man had been ten years old at that time.

– At that time, I took that to be the truth. He then grew up being protected by his nice uncle and aunt, getting some benefits from the conglomerate Transparent Corporation as he grew up.

“You then found out the truth?”

– Yeah. I figured it out after seeing the game that the Transparent Corporation put out.

“How?”

A smile appeared on Ahn Roh Man’s face.

– My parents hid the truth in the game.

Cale’s eyes clouded over.

He sat up on the couch. His body leaned forward.

Ahn Roh Man’s voice continued.
