Chapter 98 – 11. The Weight of the Crown
11. The Weight of the Crown
New morning on November 1st.
It’s not as much as New Year’s, but the day when the moon has passed is also quite special.
It can be said that it is a special day in its own way, such as the card limit being reset, the mobile phone micropayment being initialized, or the new attendance book in the game being opened.
Among them, the new morning of November 1st is especially special because there is a large-scale patch called ‘Regional lock (region) release’ in addition to it.
A regional rock that played a role in controlling the radius of activity of owners with mighty power. Depending on the type, there were classifications such as ‘region rock (city)’, ‘region rock (region)’ and ‘region rock (country)’, but they all have one thing in common. It is to prevent the owner outside the affiliation from using his power.
However, on November 1st, as soon as the regional lock (region) was lifted, you can now use your power anywhere as long as you are in the country you belong to. It was a patch that
It was an NPC that promoted LP consumption through these giant collisions, but it did not stand by. It was a normal (?) Response, such as inducing the evacuation of citizens by moving a military force group such as the ‘police department’, which was merged with the power organs of each country under their leadership, especially the military.
So, on the morning of November 1st, ordinary people around the world, including Korea, woke up in public institutions such as local shelters, schools, and libraries under the guidance of the police department.
The internet was hot like it was about to explode.
First of all, there was a newly patched history along with the release of region locks, ‘Guild Draw’ and ‘LP Blessing’, and then there were conflicts between lines that occurred all over the country.
And there was the ‘Mirror World Advent’ that gave the last and biggest impact.
In terms of ratio, ‘Mirror World Advent’ accounted for about 60~70% of the traffic, followed by collisions between lines, and lastly ‘Guild Draw’ and ‘LP Blessing’.
The contents of the surprise patch are also topical enough and worthy of attention, so why is it so lagging behind? It was in the ridiculous amount of shock the other two news delivered.
First of all, ‘Mirror World Advent’ was a content that surprised even the owners who listened to the patch in real time. However, thinking about it calmly, it was a patch that did not change anything for them.
Recently, conflicts between lines and guilds intensified due to the release of regional locks, and it is said that the proportion of them in reality has increased, but originally, the owners were people who almost lived in the mirror world.
Only by doing so can you supply and demand LPs, and only then can you achieve growth enough to play an active role.
Even if the mirror world and reality merge now, isn’t it rather good for the owners?
But what if this is the position of the ‘general person’?
Originally, they were people who had no ties to the monsters, bosses, or various disasters that appeared in Mirror World.
If there is at least a bit of relevance, is it the fact that there are frequent stories about the owner and Mirror World in the news, internet, community, etc., And there are many related movies and entertainment programs?
However, it did not directly affect their lives.
If they want to be directly involved in it, they will have to take the gamble of a lifetime, devoting almost their entire remaining life to drawing the stigma. However, there are not many people who are that strong, so the number of owners still accounts for 0.1% of the world’s population.
But what if the mirror world descends into reality?
It hasn’t been revealed in detail how it will happen yet, but in the worst case, there could be a situation where a monster respawns inside the house, and it’s possible that someone died screaming on the way to work. Obviously, a boss mob could suddenly pop out of the company where I worked well until yesterday.
Of course, by then everyone should have at least one stigma. That way, even if you die violently on your way to work, you can be revived with an extra life. Of course, if that happens, normal company activities will be impossible in the first place.
In any case, this ‘Mirror World Advent’ was emerging as a hot topic in most countries and most Internet sites.
And what follows is a clash of national lines, and although it happened in Korea, there is a very shocking fact that is well known worldwide. Just two hours after the start of the clash, Incheon’s line 〈 Changcheon 〉 pushed out 〈 Asura 〉 and 〈 Cartel 〉 and took three 〈 area 〉.
The reason why this is shocking is that 〈 Asura 〉 and 〈 Cartel 〉, which were defeated by 〈 Changchun 〉, were both the best lines in Korea and were fierce attacks of the so-called ‘rape alliance’.
Of course, 〈 Changcheon 〉 also fully dominated 〈 Incheon 〉 with a population of 3 million, and was the leader of the so-called ‘hospitality alliance’, so its size was quite gigantic.
However, considering that the total number of 〈 Changchun 〉 is about 1,000 people, the other two lines have 1,500 and 2,000 people, respectively, and together they are more than three times the size of 〈 Changchun 〉. Is the concubine of Especially if you see it from the point of view that you don’t know Shin Seo-yul’s betrayal control (?).
Thanks to this, while people looked back at Incheon, which they thought was a rural demon world, they spread stories such as the power of the Tae Eun-kyung collection.
For reference, this incident effectively disintegrated the ‘Rape Alliance’, which was formed around the 〈 Cartel 〉, and the ‘Entertainment Alliance’ led by 〈 Changchun 〉 was completely demoralized and advanced in all directions. Also, some of the lines that declared ‘neutral’ were frightened by the potential of 〈 Changchun 〉 and surrendered.
So, on the morning of November 1st, 〈 Changchun 〉 became the first line in the world to summon 〈 Palace 〉 by eating more than 3 areas, and the alliance and hospitality alliance gathered around 〈 Changchun 〉 were originally their own. Not only defending the territory, but also expanding it, vomiting up a spirit that occupies almost three-fourths of the southern peninsula when hit by land.
At this point, it would be faster to count the areas that do not belong to Changchun.
〈 Gangwon-do 〉 〈 Gyeongsangbuk-do 〉 〈 Ulsan 〉 〈 Daegu 〉 It swallowed all the regions in just half a day, so no line in Korea could even think of touching Changcheon.

“The remnants of 〈 Asura 〉 and 〈 Cartel 〉 have virtually ended. A total of 3,065 people were captured by both sides, and about 200 others are wanted, but it is believed that they have already escaped our realm. In addition, as of 4:15 PM on November 1st, the territory of our Changchun Alliance controls 〈 Incheon 〉 〈 West Seoul 〉 〈 East Seoul 〉, and if you add up the territory of the other alliances and the surrendered lines…”
She was Sung Seung-hee, who reported as a calm career woman as always, but there was excitement that even she couldn’t hide.
“… It appears to occupy about 70% of the land in Korea.”
Small exclamations were heard everywhere.
I wanted to let out some cheers, but there was still a solemn atmosphere.
“Currently, we are not expanding further, but we are in a situation where we have enough strength, so we can push forward anytime… !”
The executives all clenched their fists.
I never dreamed that things would turn out so well.
At best, I was thinking of making a life-and-death decision with 〈 Asura 〉 of the 〈 West Seoul 〉 page and eating it metally and metally with the help of other allies, but this went beyond going well and reached the stage of unification at all.
Wouldn’t it be good to drive the momentum and unify it at this level?
“I want to do that too, but rather than that, we need to ensure internal unity.”
However, Shin Seo-yul poured cold water on it.
“Somehow, they say they are united under the name of ‘Alliance’, but this link is so damn thin, isn’t it? You have to make this absolutely different so that the guys outside are like, ‘Ah… You can’t hit that one!’ So they kick and fight. In the process, new opportunities are created.”
It may not be comparable to the already collapsed ‘rape alliance’, but the ‘entertainment alliance’ centered on Changchun also had a thin link. Rather than considering mutual trust or practical gains, it was more like the executives of each line following Tae Eun-kyung and being enticed by them, so there was no hierarchy, and there were no set boundaries or rules.
“But after doing infinite expansion without that, the enemies came to their senses, huh? If you do, things get messed up from then on. Have you expanded at this rate so far? But even though I do my best, if the speed doesn’t come out, I get pushed back psychologically. At that time, if the ring is thin, it will collapse.”
“But… What do you mean by ensuring internal unity?”
“For example, we can draw 〈 palaces 〉 right? I’m picking this as a damn good thing. So that’s what seduces you with. Either join the Changchun Alliance, or at least create a group that can benefit from 〈 palaces 〉.”
“Uh…”
At Seoyul’s confident words, Seunghee slightly frowned at her.
“I’m sorry, but I wonder if the head of the 〈 Palace 〉 was not selected… ?”
“Well, because I have the draw command. But does it matter? It’s the member probability average.”
“…”
Theoretically, of course, it was, but for some reason I was reluctant.
Shin Seo-yul draws?
Hmm…
