“Confidential alpha tester No. 13. Confirmed mental collapse and subsequent cessation of consciousness. Subject has logged out. As per the procedure, request transportation to the collection facility. Currently, 30 secret alpha testers have come out.”
After the logout procedure for the last tester was completed, the monitoring room rejoiced with cheers of relief. It's been a whole month of continuous monitoring 24/7, even if the observers are rotated on a rotating basis. Deputy Director Jhon and his secretary entered the room. He congratulated the staff with a gift:
“Excellent work, everything. The experimental runtime was reduced quite a lot from our original plan for a month, but thanks to all your efforts, we have obtained some incredible data. There's a barbecue and some beers waiting for you in the yard. Anyone who has finished his work, do not hesitate to rest. Ah, people who work till night, don't touch too much beer, okay? ”
Employees left their seats, with some laughing at the words of Jhon. There's still work to be done, but for now, it's time to celebrate the smooth completion of the project.
The monitor and display were turned off, one after another. All the staff were already in the courtyard by now, with only the secretary giving a final check on the room to see if anyone was still staying behind. As he left the room, the door locked behind him, an unexpected thought surfaced in his mind.
“Test test no 13..”
A gal. Only eleven years old, but with much more mature eyes. Demon-type Avatars were considered the worst type to use. Despite that, he endured to the end, his mind unyielding.
But in the end, even he gave up. Consciousness disappeared. At least the data he left behind would be very useful for the next wave of secret beta testers.
The examiner with a broken soul would continue to be observed for the next thirty days. After that, they will be thrown out. He remembered the sight of the girl, with his empty eyes saying that he was not afraid of anything.
But he had to come see the girl one last time, even if her body was now just an empty shell.
There is something strange here, the secretary thought. The other examiners had shattered their minds after their own deaths. But this girl is not like them. Her condition is still stable even though she is in a coma.
Could it be that the mental fortitude of steel was so easily broken only after one or two deaths?
*********
It has been a month since the start of the official beta test for the new VRMMORPG, World of Yggdrasia. The game is packed with the latest VR systems, and has become the talk of the city because of its incredible realism. It was not like any VR game before.
This game has just completed its first official event, the Boss Monster Hunt event. Criticism has been widely uttered by the gurgles, partly because of the show's overly inconsistent monster power; their overly real and overly frightening behavior; and other reasons. But in general, the response of players is positive. And once the developer released an official video featuring some of the best battles of the event, the internet was instantly horrendous with people impatiently asking for the official game release.
Since the beta test began, ten thousand selected testers have enjoyed their journey on the ground and busied themselves with sharing hilarious information and whining in VR chat rooms. And today many are enthusiastic to discuss the game.
“You all thought being able to appear in any time zone was convenient, right? Yeah, I think so too. And it turns out that if you mostly play at night and choose to Login in the morning, like me, you will get a severe lag the queue goes into a very long game it is very annoying.”
"I know? Then I got too hooked on this game and logged in in in the morning too, but then the night was in the game and there was no one in town.”
“Don't big cities have red light districts? The place is a bit dangerous, but at least you can spend the night there.”
“Ah, actually I am not yet 18 years old, so I was banned there..”.
“Oh, ups. Forget it."
“Hey, there are children here. Stop with that topic.”
"He understands I'm sorry."
"Someone knows the price of a slave woman in the name of how much gold coin, "
"Oi.. oii... whoa...! what kind of question is that? but I actually want to know too. "
"There are Su hu's experienced in this field"
"Basar y'all, these are even talking about such things
basic perverted brain"
"Jagan accused haphazardly yah! "
"I want to buy a slave to save him instead of doing strange things2"
"Where does anyone believe that word of yours"
"Rather than buying a slave that is expensive to upgrade your combat equipment, I guess you must be a low-CP player Hahhahaahha, only a fool buys slaves at the beginning of the game"
"Dass you want to underestimate me, you love the coordinates of your place so you can feel how sharp my sword is!!"
"Hahha Boy hick cockroach dau nantagin"
"Oiii... shut up all of you guys make a mess in this chat room, this is not a place for brawls but share useful info just in the game"

"“So this is also related to the time zone, but did you know that you can teleport to a distant Shrine and register a respawn point. You in there? Just once, and you can't bring anything other than event.” items
“Hey, have you seen the new trailer? It looks amazing.”
“Yes, they used the actual scene of the monster fight show, right? Only one appeared in my area, and when I entered, it was already dead. ”
“His formula some of them can respawn several times. Although they seemed to stop after three times killing them.”
“And that has never been defeated it is generally quite strong. I heard quite a number of rank 2 parties died because of them. ”
“BTW, how high is the rank... In fact 'skill level' is the right word, right? So how high can they get? ”
“I think the developers say it's there 10? But both the current version and the official release will only reach level 5, apparently.”
"Yes. If you took a level 5 combat skill to become an expert, then you would see Rank 6 only exist on NPC high-class knights, perhaps? ”
“The first time I saw a game with a weaker player than an NPC.:(”.
“It was a realism oriented game for you. We'll probably see those high-class knights all over the city in a few years, though "
“Yeah, I wish there was another monster killing event. The prize this time is a one-year ticket to ride all transportation, right? ”
“Yes, it is very convenient to travel and change spawn points. Unfortunately, the normal price is almost the same as buying a big house. ”
“So only a few people get it, right?”
“Personally, I don't really care. The country I chose was so big that I wasn't even sure I could explore it all. Besides, the bosses I saw in the trailer looked really scary! Seriously, there must be a limit to realism. ”
“‘Gila’ true. I can really feel that madness. Maybe they're hiring horror game developers from somewhere else?”
“Oh yes, did you hear? The developers tweeted that the official release may have monster avatars to choose from. ”
"real? Then does that mean I can play as the boss of the trailer?!”
“What will they do about their Control? I read about this 120 kilogram old man who only changed his body type and age, and he still had to face a lot of problems before he could get used to.”
"That tweet doesn't go into a lot of detail, only the hard-to-control part will be automated by Ai."
“So I can choose two-headed dragon or fire-tailed fox too?”
“Bad news for you, son. The avatars are not yet available because they have too many parts to automate, so they might be stored. ”
“Yeah, the last three were scary. Horrifying appearances were one thing, but they were also extremely fast and attacks were extremely demagogic. ”
"The last three are giant Snakes like the cobra, the two-headed demon dragon, and the Fire-tailed Fox, right?"
"I hear they're all very strong."
“I have a friend Rank 5 who appeared in another country. They said their group of three challenged the sirubah, but they actually died within seconds.”
“The Fox appeared at the end of the trailer, right? The scene scared me, even when I knew it was just a video! You know, that turns into a demon shape and then it's the players who are looking at it. Jeez!”
"Yes, it's scary .. but I think it looks kinda cool too fitting there's an explosion at the end."

“Vice Director, we have completed the collection process for the secret alpha testers who are currently in a coma due to mental disorders, all 20 people. This is a request to start a 30-day monitoring process from the staff of the collection facility. Please sign here.”
"Yes ... OK, it's done, right?"
"Thank you."
Secret research center secretary enters the Vice Director's room with electronic documents in hand. Jhon scanned fingerprints in some documents. The document changed color from light yellow to light blue, acknowledging the fingerprint of Jhon. He returned the documents.
The secretary bowed lightly, then carefully asked. "Deputy Director, should I present to the examiner's disposal thirty days later?"
“Well, someone has to. If you volunteer, that's better. Is there a reason why you ask? ”
"Alright klo so... If I had to say it, maybe I just wanted to send the girl who survived it all."
“I guess that's how you ladies are, very sentimental ... No. 13, right? I thought putting it in the final scene of the trailer would be a great idea, and I was right! Gosh, that part was amazing, wasn't it?”
"yes" secretary snuggled
Jhon smiled gently, having confirmed that most of his work today was done.
“I'm off work now. Want to have dinner? I know a good place."
The beautiful woman replied with a gentle smile. "I'll sue you if you use any authority."
