Chapter 111 The Big Pie Is Finally Coming Out of the Oven
“This battle system kind of feels like a knight duel!”
“The moves aren’t flashy at all, really plain and by the book!”
“But fighting a giant boss like that… that’s pretty exciting.”
“Yeah, this Ash Judge Gundyr looks really strong.”
“But don’t you think the difficulty might be off? Or maybe in the demo they were wearing gear that was too good? That boss fight felt way too short....

Chapter 183: A True God
Bzzzzzzzz.
The white ball of light got brighter and brighter. Floating in the air, Gensei looked like a sun falling from the sky.
“What... what is that?”
“It’s blinding!”
“Is the sun... falling?!”
The whole district was in an uproar. Teachers and students all turned their eyes toward the location of the Advanced Education Bureau, not knowing what was really happening.
Even the people watching the livestre...

“Then how much do you want? Ten million is absolutely impossible!”
“Then Ten…”
“Ten thousand is also impossible!”
“Ten…”
“Not even a hundred thousand!”
“Forget it then. Go by yourself. I have my limits, you know. Giving you a chance to bargain was already me being nice!”
Naruto waved his hand like he was shooing him away.

A drop of sweat slowly slid down Sarutobi Hiruzen’s cheek. If it were just Orochimaru alone, he wouldn’t have much trouble dealing with him.
But facing three Hokage plus Orochimaru—even if the Hokage brought back with Edo Tensei were weaker than in life—that lineup was still a serious threat.
Even with the Mizukage beside him, Sarutobi could already tell that working together with this Mizukage wasn’t going to be easy.
“All three are out, huh....

Chapter 69: The Rival’s Determination
Today was Angela’s first day at work. According to her, she had loved Earth Games’ titles ever since the company appeared. Before Happy Match Mania came out, her favorite had been Classical Poetry Crossword, especially after the new mode was added, which made the game even more fun.
Since there was no empty desk in the office area, William set up her workspace in his own office. This made game development easier, as every scene and detai...

Chapter 68: Olivia
This was William’s first time seeing a virtual human up close.
No matter how many introductions he had seen online or in movies, none of them gave him a concrete idea of what it was really like.
On screen, Olivia wore flowing white robes, looking almost otherworldly. The place he stood in wasn’t anything special—just the most basic background in the modeling software.
“I added some wind effects,” Tina said, showing William the controls.

On the official blog, many players tagged Lucas every day.
Aside from the loyal fans still playing games like Legends of the Three Kingdoms and Fall Guys, most were people waiting for Dark Souls.
So far, the official info was just a teaser shown at a game expo, along with some concept art of weapons and locations.
The only things players knew were that the main character seemed to be carrying some “flame of hope” and that the game w...

When the spiral sword inside Gundyr’s body was pulled out, the boss, which had been like a statue, started to wake up.
By then, Lucas had already switched his “chicken leg” weapon into dual-wield mode and let out a battle cry using the weapon’s skill.
While Gundyr was still getting up, Lucas started swinging the chicken legs at him.
The boss’s health was dropping fast enough to see with the naked eye.
Then, before Gundyr ...

When Lucas entered the game and created a new “Useless Person” character, Hector and the others exchanged a knowing look and smiled.

Lucas, who was testing the game, naturally noticed their little actions.
But he didn’t say anything, just smiled quietly and kept testing the game features.

Was the game too hard?
Lucas had already thought this through carefully, even before starting development, and had done market research.
Why not follow the game’s story order and make Dark Souls 1 first, but choose Dark Souls 3 instead?
Because in terms of dif...

Not only was there a barrier trapping Hozuki Mangetsu and Sarutobi Hiruzen, but the four Otogakure ninja at the corners had also activated barriers around themselves.
If just one of those four could be knocked out of place, the whole barrier would collapse.
Hozuki Mangetsu raised his eyes and stared warily at Orochimaru in front of him.
But this barrier wasn’t something that could be easily broken. Down below, the presence of Shukaku was already enough of...

The dinner ended rather abruptly. William’s performance of “Castle in the Sky” stunned the entire audience. Though they didn’t want to admit it, neither Thomas nor Alan’s works could match the brilliance of William’s.
There were many reasons for this—novelty was one of them.
Because of that, those who performed later didn’t get much interest from the crowd. Tiffany’s bid also broke the record for the highest auction price. After all,...

No one in the audience expected William’s instrument to be a piano. After all, the piano only became popular in this century. The first people to learn it were probably those born in the 90s and 2000s. For musicians like them, most of whom started in the 80s, the most they had done was see or hear one, but never seriously learned to play it.

More and more players and gaming media were talking about “Valiant Hearts: The Great War.”
In terms of sales, it obviously couldn’t compare to something like “Fall Guys.”
Three days after release, at a price of just 3 dollar, it sold 310,000 copies.
That was only 20,000 more than last year’s “To the Moon.”
The price difference didn’t have much impact, after all, it was only 1 dollar more.

Sunagakure had been allies with them for a while, so Hiruzen still had some trust in them.
Honestly, he had been more suspicious of Kirigakure secretly pulling strings behind the scenes.
Mainly because he knew so little about them, and Hozuki Mangetsu seemed too young—he gave off the feeling ...
