I Became the Goddess of a New World

Global service and capsule distribution.

Amazon was a giant corporation capable of solving both at once.

Jacob, the project leader of the Akashic Record Publishing Project, felt immense happiness about being entrusted with this project.

“It truly is amazing. This is the new model, Raven. Beyond imagination.”

His speech was awkward due to his unfamiliarity with Korean.

His voice was excited, his face unable to hide his admiration, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

All of this was a sign of friendship toward Akare.

The new model Raven of the capsule, set to launch alongside the global service.

The sample that the Crown Prince brought immediately captured Jacob’s heart.

The existing capsule required sitting, which became burdensome over long periods, but…

The Raven capsule, while slightly larger in size, allowed for lying down through efficient space expansion.

Moreover, the capsule’s exterior could be customized in various designs, and the user care functions were significantly upgraded compared to previous models.

“Our representative mentioned that it might be possible to move the schedule up a bit.”

“Really? But we mustn’t let any setbacks occur.”

The person in charge from Record Eye could speak English, but Jacob insisted on communicating in awkward Korean.

Korea. A country of Confucian values and etiquette.

It might be a trivial element that didn’t need consideration, but business starts from the small things.

Communicating in Korean was a kind of courtesy Jacob wanted to show.

“Of course, if you prefer… you can proceed with the original schedule.”

At the Crown Prince’s remark, as if asking, ‘Can’t you even do this?’, Jacob chuckled heartily.

“Of course! Sounds great!”

The risks of moving the schedule up lie much more with Record Eye.

That fact was surely known to the Crown Prince and Aurora too, yet for them to suggest it first meant they truly had confidence.

After that, the project proceeded at lightning speed and soon entered the final stages.

Now the time for the first step of the global service was fast approaching.

Amazon had mobilized every possible means for marketing.

There were more people who knew about the game than those who didn’t, even before its opening.

In one of the large American communities, Reddit, countless opinions were being exchanged in the Akare tab that had been created.

It had become quite common for domestic games to start overseas services.

Through active marketing, many would see significant popularity during their initial opening phases, but…

Few games managed to maintain long-term success in the overseas market.

Particularly Amazon, which was in charge of Akare’s publishing, had received many critiques for being inept at operations.

Thus, discussions erupted among the overseas gamers.

“First virtual reality? I never thought it would come out before I die.”

“Two things to keep in mind. One, the publisher is Amazon. Two, Record Eye, who produced the Akashic Record, is a Korean game company.”

“Korea? Is this game going to end up riddled with P2W elements?”

“No, the Akashic Record in Korea has no P2W elements.”

“That’s surprising. I hope Amazon shows proper operation this time.”

“I’ve already decided what job I want. Warrior, Pugilist, Romantic.”

The internet knows no borders.

Of course, in Korea, there were borders blocking access to certain sites, but at least such things didn’t exist abroad.

The Akashic Record, once known only to a few, gained notoriety due to unprecedented large-scale marketing.

The Akare algorithms, which were only active in Korea, spread abroad, benefiting the Major Corporation Party’s Pagu the most.

“(Pagu’s YouTube link) This warrior’s play is amazing.”

“Striking lightning with a human body? *laughs*”

“Interesting.”

“Remarkable!”

“Is this really virtual reality? *surprised* I can’t contain my excitement.”

“What’s truly astonishing is the fact that the character in the video is 39 years old in reality.”

“I can’t believe it.”

“It’s really sad there are no subtitles.”

Pagu was revered as a role model and father figure for all warriors.

Unlike other Akare YouTube channels that only edited and uploaded highlight scenes, he produced many genuinely helpful videos on warrior basics, strategies, and leveling tips.

Of course, due to the language barrier, Pagu’s words didn’t reach the overseas audience.

However, his overwhelming performance—like deflecting a massive boulder with a shield or perfectly timing his parry against a Paladin’s divine retribution—was something that could never be achieved outside of virtual reality.

Thus, overseas gamers aspiring to be warriors referred to Pagu as GIGACHAD.

But even more than Pagu gaining fame abroad, another figure became the talk of the town.

That person was Aurora, the Director of Akare, who had an unrealistic appearance.

“Question. (Link to mid-year update showcase video) Who is the woman announcing this? Where is the announcement taking place?”

“The location is virtual reality. The woman’s name is Aurora. She is the Director of the Akashic Record.”

“Director? This beautiful woman? Ah, it’s virtual reality, so she’s a pretty girl. *despair*”

“No. (Live reality video link) She exists in reality.”

“What? So surprising. She is incredibly beautiful.”

“Aurora. She is referred to as the new goddess of this world in Korea.”

“Her chest size is astounding.”

“Blasphemous.”

In virtual reality, anyone can customize themselves to be slim and pretty.

Of course, certain body parts had restrictions on customization, but…

Anyway, the sight of Aurora—who possessed an unrealistic appearance—was naturally accepted as a character within virtual reality.

Later, due to her followers who knew domestic memes suspiciously well, Aurora’s appeal quickly spread overseas.

The Major Corporation Party gathered at the center of Elderheim.

They were all at the entrance level, having reached level 80, and completely fulfilled the entry requirements for the Twisted World Tree Raid by completing all sub-stories.

Now, the only thing left was to clear the Twisted World Tree after the Elder Lich Raid.

For this day, the Major Corporation Party had been skimping on sleep, managing only about four hours a day.

Napoleon would have been impressed by their sleep schedule, but certainly, overexerting themselves would lead to some health issues.

However, Akare users experienced no health quirks even after prolonged gaming.

An inexplicable phenomenon scientifically unprovable.

Those who did not know that a trace amount of divine power contained in the capsule cared for the users had no way of knowing how their bodies maintained optimal condition.

They merely thought this was a blessing granted by Akare’s goddess, Aurora.

Such light thoughts were all it took to brush aside the situation.

Anyway, just as the Major Corporation Party, who had been preparing meticulously for almost a month, was about to set off for the Twisted World Tree Raid…

“Hm? What’s this?”

Pagu, the reliable frontline member of the party, came to a stop.

“Hey, is there a problem?”

“No… it’s not that.”

Pagu’s gaze was directed towards the air.

“I’m seeing a lot of English chat in the chat window today.”

From others’ perspectives, the chat window was not visible.

So, Master Kim had no idea how many English chats were coming in.

Knowing Pagu’s character, who usually didn’t react unless it was something truly extraordinary, he inferred there were far more messages than he imagined.

Thinking this, Master Kim opened an internet popup window and accessed YouTube.

“Wow, it’s true.”

As Pagu said, there were indeed many English chats flooding in.

Far more than Korean chats.

“Maybe it’s because of the global service?”

“To what extent… Wow, that’s a lot.”

Feeling bored by the delayed departure, Sweet followed Master Kim and opened Pagu’s live stream, gasping in shock upon seeing the live viewer count exceed 100,000.

‘Twitch is the answer.’

‘Sorry for the static.’

‘It’s business.’

Master Kim, Suzuka, and Sweet.

The three watching Pagu’s explosive rise all steeled their resolve.

Even if it wasn’t this situation, they were half-inclined to leave anyway.

But to have a live viewer count of 100,000? It would be abnormal not to go to Twitch now.

“Alright, everyone, let’s power through and go.”

Sparking the mood, Master Kim reached out toward the newly formed barrier in the center of Elderheim.

[Would you like to enter the Twisted World Tree Raid?]

[Entry Portal: Gate 1]

[Recommended Number of Participants: 4]

[Y / Z]

As Master Kim pressed Y, the Major Corporation Party was simultaneously transported to the domain of the Twisted World Tree.

Twisted World Tree Raid.

This raid featured the main NPC Celestia participating and supporting the players.

Celestia was fundamentally a spirit mixed with elven traits.

Spirits were beings made of shaped mana infused with the elements of nature, while elves were immortal species capable of communicating with nature.

Although Celestia was a mutation, she was born with exceptional affinity and had roamed the world for a long time, encountering vast knowledge.

The talents she possessed from birth naturally blossomed, and Celestia had now risen to the rank of a Grand Mage.

“That’s just the beginning.”

Grand Mage.

It meant someone who transcended the circle or completely freed themselves from it.

The former case represented people like my mentor, the Occult, and the latter included Ancient Necromancers, Witches of Sorrow, Dragons, and Demon Kings.

“Though the latter are merely objects of destruction.”

The circle could be thought of as another heart for mages.

To be free from such a heart? Just hearing it sounds abnormal.

And though I had forcibly implanted the heart of an abnormal being into my own body, I was no normal entity either.

“I’m looking forward to it. To see what choices will be made.”

A thousand years ago, I failed to properly eradicate the Twisted World Tree and the Fallen Spirit King.

Well, to be exact, it would be more accurate to say I couldn’t.

The World Tree and the Spirit King were both transcendent beings.

Neither should have been allowed to vanish in vain.

Their complete destruction would be the lesser evil, and the worst would have been if they led to the world’s downfall.

I chose the best course to avoid the lesser and the worst—sealing the cause that became the object of destruction.

“This time will be different.”

There were two individuals present who hadn’t existed a thousand years ago.

Celestia and Raven.

One was a Grand Mage living a life nearing eternity, while the other was a vessel harboring the potential to become a god of destruction.

If I had these two and the protagonist of this world, the player…

We could correct all the things that couldn’t be resolved in this another world…

“Ah.”

I can be quite something sometimes.

After arranging my confused thoughts, I focused on the broadcast of the Twisted World Tree Raid presented by the Major Corporation Party.
