I Became a 6★ Gacha Character

After escorting Han Se-ah to her accommodations, where she seemed dazed and confused, I retreated to my own lodgings.

Though I couldn't access the chat after the stream ended, I could still browse Han Se-ah's forum, where her viewers were raving about the scene I had displayed.

-LOL Roland, the goblin slinger

-Today's Chronicle best moment.GIF

-Reincarnated as a goblililililililililin

-Pay respects to the great flying Goblin Lord

-6★ He's really strong

Reading a comment suggesting I throw Han Se-ah out through the exit inspired my impromptu performance.

As I sent the goblin flying, viewers found the waning cries of the rapidly disappearing creature quite amusing.

It's quite delightful to be able to browse the forum and read the lively posts, especially since I would normally be lounging with a beer instead.

-The only good goblin is a flying goblin

-Shouldn't it be a dead goblin?

┗Yeah, that one's as good as dead

┗If it survived after flying 100 meters, it wouldn't be a goblin

Scrolling through the crudely edited photos and various jokes, it seems hurling a small creature weighing around 30kg out of sight with one hand made quite an impact.

Chuckling at the various posts, I realized that the virtual reality world created by the capsule in this alternate dimension shared similarities with the modern world I left behind ten years ago.

Time flew as I lay on the bed, browsing the forum and indulging in stories about myself, until darkness enveloped the night.

'Tomorrow... I should teach basic magic and find party members.'

Upon obtaining 10 lowest-grade magic stones and leaving the tower, the quest was finally updated.

When forming a party, you had to shake hands, and obtaining 10 lowest-grade magic stones required safely exiting the tower, as if there was some sort of criterion.

Perhaps these are restrictions in Han Se-ah's game system?

[Teach Basic Magic to Han Se-ah 0/5]

Though learning basic magic in a day might be challenging, Han Se-ah could possibly master all five spells.

There are more than five types of basic magic, but she'll likely pick the ones that suit her best.

With access to her inventory and mini-map, she might even learn the spells easily through a skill window.

Finding party members should start after teaching magic, and it might take some time to select promising beginners from the novice adventurers.

I don't need to search for them myself; I can just ask Ellis about any promising newcomers.

Hmm, I still have to treat Ellis to a sweet dessert as promised. While buying a basic magic book for Han Se-ah, I can also visit the newly opened cafe.

Despite wanting to read more posts on the forum, experiencing the scent of the modern world after 10 years, the speed of new posts slowed down since the stream ended.

I closed the forum and leaned my head on the bed, closing my eyes, looking forward to tomorrow morning.

I wonder what the rewards for this quest will be.

Han Se-ah couldn't believe the fortune that had come to her.

‘6★, does that even exist?’

As a streamer who streamed both sports and gaming, she had a rough prediction of what to expect from Heroes Chronicle.

She enjoyed a variety of mobile games, including RPGs and FPS games.

Climbing the tower would require forming parties, and would be a physically active experience.

Obtaining equipment and recruiting comrades would heavily depend on luck.

Many people were thrilled by the shocking announcement that BB Games, the developer of Heroes Chronicle, would hand over the entire game company to the top-ranked player.

However, no one predicted the existence of a 6★.

Most of the gacha games Han Se-ah enjoyed had 3★ and 4★ as the highest-ranked, and even games with 5★ only reached that level through evolution and awakening.

They were never an initial rank when drawn.

-A character with a starting grade of 6★?

-Other than Han Se-ah drawing a male character, isn't it perfect?

-Will Han Se-ah end up owning BB Games?

-Some get a 3★ while others get a 6★, life is so frustrating

After stepping out of the capsule and lying down on her soft bed, Han Se-ah used her smartphone to search for her own name online.

Although she was aware that ego searching could be harmful for a streamer, she couldn't resist on this occasion.

She'd achieved the world's top pickup in the first-ever virtual reality game.

-Did the game balance get completely shattered?

[4★ 'Close Combat Knight' William's Stat Window.JPG]

[6★ 'Paladin' Roland's Stat Window.JPG]

The commenters picked tank NPCs for an easier comparison.

Upon examining the stat windows, the health difference between the 3-star and 4-star characters is roughly 20%. But between the 4-star and 6-star characters, the health difference is a staggering 100%.

-Is it a joke that it's the only one in the world?

-Unique in the entire world, not just domestically?

-If a 6-star was drawn overseas, it'd be in the news already

-My head's spinning from the comparison

Normally, people would criticize her for luring viewers with her appearance during workout streams and relying on her looks rather than her skills during gaming streams.

However, those personal attacks mostly disappeared once she started playing Heroes Chronicle.

All attention shifted to the NPCs.

Even though the game opened simultaneously worldwide without any closed beta, some information was gathered thanks to dedicated gamers and partners.

When entering the city, the first NPCs players come into contact with are 3★ or above.

As they continue playing and form adventurer parties, they encounter beginners who are 1~3★ adventurers.

In comparison, the senior adventurer Roland, who kindly approached Han Se-ah and guided her, was an impressive 6★.

He was tall, had broad shoulders, and a handsome face that seemed like BB Games had poured their heart and soul into modeling.

Han Se-ah thought, if he didn't have the title 'Paladin,' one might think he was a prince from a fantasy world who had come to visit the adventurer's city.

-NPC beauty standards these days...

-The reason we need to go to the fantasy world.JPG

-Who is this person? An idol?

Already, her stream was circulating on several websites.

There were jokes about it being a dating sim rather than an RPG, requests for a virtual boyfriend with that kind of modeling, and even misunderstandings that he wasn't an NPC in a virtual reality game but an aspiring idol.

'Really good-looking indeed...'

Han Se-ah, who also did sports streams, was confident in her well-maintained appearance and toned physique.

However, when she saw the circulating pictures, her confidence quickly diminished.

Both senior adventurer Roland and guild receptionist Ellis were golden-haired, exceptionally beautiful people.

The ordinary citizens wandering the streets had realistic appearances, but those two looked almost too perfect to be real.

'Maybe I should visit the Magic Tower tomorrow to learn some skills. It'll take some time to recruit party members, so I'll try to climb to the fifth floor after posting a recruitment notice.'

Despite planning her next steps, she couldn't fall asleep easily because of the events she had experienced in the game.

From the beautiful scenery of the fantasy world she saw when riding a carriage at the game's start, to the towering city that housed the tower, and even the fight against goblins, these were all thrilling events for a fantasy enthusiast.

In particular, her calm steps during the goblin ambush, breaking their formation, and sequentially defeating them, kept her wide awake.

Most of the posts about her, other than those about Rolland and Ellis, were filled with praises for her exceptional battle sense.

To be more precise, it was meant to disparage other streamers in comparison to her, but she couldn't help but grin at the praise – it was only natural.

'Really, what if I become number one like this?'

The young female CEO of BB Games, who made a fortune selling expensive virtual reality capsules to people worldwide.

With that kind of money, she could buy a house for her parents, deck them out with luxury items from bags to watches, and live a life of leisure, playing games all day long―

With such happy thoughts, Han Se-ah forced her eyes shut, trying to fall asleep as soon as possible.
