The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 83 - Announcement of the Big Event

April 9, 2073.

Today is a bright day.

The sun is shining, birds are chirping. While me? I just finished my exercise routine every morning.

Arriving home, I found my sister who was about to go to school.

"Sister. I'll go first." Said Rina while waving her tangn.

Seeing her figure who left school on foot made me realize. Why didn't I buy him a transport? Wouldn't that make his life easier?

Well, although.... The distance to school is only half an hour on foot.

"A, Rina. Is your pocket money enough? And also.... Do you want some kind of transportation? You can just ask if you want to." I asked Rina while rubbing my face with a small towel on my shoulder.

"So Brother. Just chill. But is my brother sure? Can I ask for something like that?" Asked Lina with a bit of hesitation.

"Just calm. You just need to mention it. Of course as long as I can buy it hahaha...." Reply with a laugh.

"Then.... I want a scooter, brother. Some of my friends have it and.... I'll send you a picture soon...." Said Rina while fiddling with her phone.

A message appeared on my phone. The picture sent by Rina is a two-wheeled vehicle type scooter, the Vespa. Her appearance was honestly quite cute. I can imagine how sweet my sister would be if I rode it.

"Sister.... You don't have to buy it right now. I also still need to take care of the Driver's Letter In Supervision first. That's because I'm a minor. So...." Rina.

Letter Driver In Supervision is a kind of temporary SIM for those who do not have it or are still under 18 years. By making this letter, a person with a minimum age of 16 years can drive a motor vehicle.

Although, it will be given a special sign in the vehicle so as to facilitate supervision. This was made several decades ago considering the number of minors without a SIM who drive a motor vehicle. And of course, most of them are irresponsible and endanger others.

After its application, the number of underage motorcyclists decreased dramatically. The punishment applied is also getting bigger. Not only that, those who have this letter become much more responsible in driving.

But that's a story for another time.

"What are you talking about. I'll buy it for you soon, Rina. Now go on." I said with a smile.

With that, Lina seemed to set off while making small jumps. I'm so happy to see it.

"Haha.... Substantial. How expensive is that scooter. At most only.... Eh?! Huh uh?! Eeeeeeh?!" I shouted after hitting the official distributor page link shared by Rina.

"One-hundred du-twenty-eight million?!"

I was a little weak to see the price. But it's not a number as big as my mind. If it is made in the form of gold coins.... Probably only 8,000 gold coins.

'Huh.... I'll pull the gold coins later in the day.' I said in my heart and took a shower. After that I immediately ate the salad in the kitchen while watching television.

...[.Developer Re:Life Announces Date of Major Event!]...

“Huh? Big event? What does that mean?” I said while eating an apple.

I decided to take the television show seriously.

There were 2 people sitting in a studio room. One of them was the host of the television show. While another one is one of the developers or Developer Re:Life from America.

They both appear to be speaking English. I who did not understand a word immediately set the audio translation feature automatically on the television. Now I can understand what they're talking about.

“This time we all have special guests! He is none other than one of the developers of Re:Life from America! Let's welcome! Professor Bradley!” Said the host.

“Thanks. Thanks.” Prof. Bradley waved his right hand. Despite his title of Professor, Bradley was 38 years old.

“Now, Prof. Bradleys. Is it true that the International Competition between Players worldwide this year, or the second time, will be held on May 1, 2073 to June 30, 2073?”

“That's absolutely right. We as the developer of Re:Life would like to thank all the players who are still playing Re:Life until now. As a form of thanks, we will invite all Players to join the Competition event.

This is the anniversary of Re:Life. Of course, everything is not done for 2 full months. It was only a period of International Competition. Each Player who joins will be given a match schedule and at the longest only present for 2 weeks.” Obviously Prof Bradley with a smile.

“Then, what are the types of competitions to be held?”

“For its type there are at least 40. Starting from the most anticipated since last year's competition is PVP or Player Versus Player. Players from all over the world will compete in a 1-on-1 fight on random terrain. Then there is the Guild Versus Guild competition as the second most popular after PVP.”

Prof Bradley continues his explanation in detail.

In essence, there are many types of competitions that will be held. PVP, Guild Vs Guild, running competition, Quest completion, NPC search lost, Unique Boss hunt, even to pet beauty contest within Re:Life.

Anyone who participates and gets at least 3 champions, will get a pretty big prize. Prizes can be money, items in Re:Life, or even gold coins or In Game Currency.

I honestly really want to enter this competition.

But there's one thing that bothers me.

“For this year's competition to be held in Japan. All players who participate are expected to register online immediately. All accommodation expenses, including transportation, lodging, meal expenses and all others will be covered by Re:Life.

But keep in mind, that there is a limit on the number of participants. Each State has the right to make a selection of the Player to be sent. However, Player performance will also improve the performance of a country in the field of E-Sport.” Clearly Prof. Bradley's pretty long.

I'm a little confused about this. Honestly, I really want to participate, especially in PVP competitions. I wonder how powerful the other Players in this entire world are.

But of course, I will never fight as a Dungeon Master for now. If my true identity were to leak, then I would be a bit of a hassle. Therefore, I plan to fight as a witch.

“I need to find a new skill…. There are still about 20 days before the competition starts. Uh! Elen! Maybe I'll ask him for help!” I screamed while standing up from the chair.

I immediately picked up my phone and called her.

“Uh... Erik? Why did you call me this early?” Elin answered with a sleepy voice.

“Still morning…. Call me later. Dah.” Reply Elin while disconnecting her call.

“Huh…. Basics...” I said while breathing.

I am alone at home now. My sister has been going to school since 06:30.

While my father and mother were working in a shophouse or shop house that I rented out for them.

I told you not to work anymore. But both of my parents insisted on doing something. As a result they started selling clothes in the shophouse.

“Now…. What am I supposed to do? Eh?!” Shouted after seeing the continuation of the show.

A blonde woman, having an ideal posture of about 160 cm in height entered the studio room after Prof. Bradley's gone. He is still 23 years old based on the brief explanation of the host.

“Include everyone. I'm Angelica. You can all call me Angie, just like my character in the game.” He said with a smile.

It turns out that the next interview is still someone from America, Angie. A player who is touted as a genius who appears once in hundreds of years.

Before Angie joined Re:Life, it seemed that she was an outstanding E-Sport performer across a variety of genres. Shooting, RPG, Simulator, MOBA, Management, RTS and almost the entire genre of games.

As the popularity of Re:Life that led to her fame in the classic E-Sport faded, Angie finally decided to join Re:Life. The only Full Dive Virtual Reality MMORPG game.

Although Virtual Reality RPG games are very widely spread around the world, only Re:Life is able to offer a very real world immersion of the game. As if…. Really live in it.

“So tell us your story that can reach level 106 in less than 4 months, Angie.” Said the host.

“Hahaha…. Why are you all discussing the level issue. As you know, levels are not everything in the world of Re:Life. The most important thing is the combination of the right level and growth.

In addition, there are also weapons mastery techniques. If you have good reflexes and are trained in the real world, it will also carry over into the game. To answer that question, I only hunted monsters that were at least 50 levels above me alone. If I hunt down weak monsters, my reflexes will dull.”

Angie answered the host's question in great detail. Not to forget that a beautiful smile was also always painted on her face.

But I can only open my eyes wide.

“Hah?! Always hunting monsters 50 levels above?! Alone?!”

I was very surprised to hear Angie's statement. Although I had also hunted Dark Elves who had hundreds of levels above me, but it was all possible because I had ganged up on them with my summoned monsters. What if 1 against 1? Of course I won't win!

The host immediately continued his question.

“Then, are you going to take part in the soon-to-be International Competition Angie?”

“International Competition yes…. I don't think so for this year. I am still very weak when compared to professional players who have played for more than 3 years. At least, I still lost far in terms of levels and items.” Angie replied while showing a somewhat bitter smile.

Overwhelmed with curiosity, I immediately moved the channel to MeTube in search of a video of Angie fighting monsters. He often recorded it himself using the recording feature to upload on MeTube. However, Angie was a professional E-Sport Player from time immemorial.

I was very surprised to learn that her channel has tens of millions of subscribers. What an amazing thing. I immediately played the latest video uploaded by Angie. It's called Angie Versus Magic Golem! How a Level 97 Player Win Against a Level 164 Magic Golem!

Although it was just uploaded a few days ago, but the video has had 50 million more views and more than 1 million likes. I started thinking negatively.

‘Do they all just want to see the beautiful Gamer Girl? Hah.. basic.’ I thought in my heart. But I immediately dismissed that thought and was positive. Of course I want to learn something from him.

On my television screen that was not too big, appeared the figure of a woman who was very similar to her appearance in the real world just now. He doesn't change anything in his character.

“Halo everyone! Angie's here. As you can see, I was in the Ancient Mine around the territory of the Farna Kingdom. The monsters that were here were mostly weak golems that were in the range of levels 120 to 130. But I found something unique!” Say it with the right distance from the virtual camera.

“Look! A rare Magic Golem! It seems that He is the Field Boss inside this ancient mine! Now, I'm gonna put some other virtual cameras around here. Of course you guys don't want to miss a little bit of my action right?!” He said with a sweet smile.

Angie immediately went to various places to install other virtual cameras. This camera is like a holographic camera made of light. NPCs and Monsters could not see this thing. In addition, this virtual camera cannot be damaged and can only be obtained through a contract with the developer Re:Life.

If the user goes too far, then the camera will go back into its inventory. After all, these virtual cameras are essential for MeTubers to create their content.

Of course the part Angie still has the camera installed is made in Timelapse mode so that the audience does not get bored.

Until finally….

After the virtual cameras were installed on various sides of the mine area….

“Now, Angie will start fighting against him! Happy watching!” He said with a smile. He seems to be a very cheerful type of person.

Angie moved slowly closer to the Magic Golem.

The first thing that surprised me was….

He didn't use a gun at all! Even the equipment looks like Rare or Epic level equipment!

“The person…. How could he win against that Magic Golem with such a makeshift fixture?!” I screamed while looking at the video.
