Chapter 19: Shock
Even though William hadn’t been working long as a game editor,
he’d played a ton of games by now.
And judging from what he’d seen in Undertale so far, he could clearly pick up on some of its traits.
First was the game's overall polish. Not the story or content—just the surface stuff like visuals and controls.
Undertale was okay in that regard, about what you’d expect from an indie game.
But content-wise, William honestly felt it ...

Chapter 18: Game Experience
After Lucas announced the existence of Undertale,
regular players didn’t really think much of it yet—they just felt like things were heating up.
This wasn’t just trash talk anymore, it was an all-out fight!
But for the more experienced gaming media, their reaction was basically: what the hell just happened.
They had thought it was just a young guy getting fired up and talking back.
Turns out it was all a carefully planned m...

“This is so infuriating! How can people like this even exist?” Rachel was clearly angry.
After all, she had worked on Mirror too.
“He’s just being sneaky, chasing clout. Doesn’t matter if people hate him or support him,” Anna said, trying to calm Rachel down.
“Exactly. There are people like that in every field,” Lucas said with a grin.
“So, Lucas, we’re just going to let this slide...

Chapter 16: Picking a Fight on Purpose
In the meeting room, Lucas was explaining Undertale to Anna and Rachel.
As for Mirror, there wasn’t much to worry about — they just needed to follow the previous setup and add new character art and dialogue.
Most of their time from now on would be focused on developing Undertale.
Undertale was originally made by a solo indie developer in Lucas’s past life.
But it touched players all over the world and became a classic ...

Chapter 15: Beneath the Legend
The next morning at 10 a.m., inside an office building in Magic City—
Lucas had just finished signing a lease with the agent and landlord. He was now sitting on the couch chatting with Anna and Rachel.
“Lucas, this office must cost quite a bit each month, huh?” Anna asked casually, looking around at the layout.
“Yeah, I signed for three months for now. The rent’s manageable—it’s the development PCs and other equipment that c...

Chapter 14 – Planning the Next Game
Mirror was a hit—there was no doubt about that.
Of course, it wasn’t going to reach the level of a AAA blockbuster or become some cultural phenomenon.
But based on the current trend, Mirror had the potential to influence its entire category.
Maybe even the future of this specific genre.
In fact, even in his past life, after Mirror came out, it sparked a short-lived boom in adult games.
During that time, almost every...

Inside a hot pot restaurant in Magic City’s MixC Mall.
Lucas was having hot pot with Rachel and Anna.
Beef, tripe, omasum, beef rolls…
You can’t call it hot pot if there’s no beef.
“You’re amazing! The game community is going crazy, and the players are loving it too!” Anna, who now knew Lucas pretty well, looked excited as she stared at the news on her phone.

While Rachel and Annang were having their talk, Lucas was fully focused on how Mirror was doing.
In fact, quite a few people were already paying attention to the game.

The sales were right there, speaking for themselves. The platform doesn’t show exact numbers, but for designers and industry media, it’s easy enough to estimate based on available ...

The growth in numbers was far beyond what he had expected.
On the first day, he sold 162 copies. Not a high number, but not bad either.
But on the second day, sales shot up to around 610 copies—nearly four times more.
The main reason? His ...

That was basically all he could afford to eat lately. He was completely broke.
He had credit card debt, outstanding loans on online paylater.
Not only that, but Rachel hadn’t paid him yet for his illustration work. On top of that, she borrowed another 100 dollar from him. Most of his money had b...

Hearing what Rachel Ruan said, Lucas Hart’s face flushed red.
But just a moment later, he pulled himself together, cleared his throat to break the awkwardness, and started thinking of a good excuse.
"Well, you see… there are a lot of reasons for that..."
Across the table, Rachel Ruan gave him a sideways glance.
Men and their lies, ugh!

Mirror could be described as a very unique mini-game.
It combined match-three mechanics with RPG elements, and threw in multiple endings like a galgame.

As for the match-three gameplay, it was basically an evolved form of tile-matching, which already existed in this world.
It was fairly popular too, so Lucas Hart wasn’t too worried about whether pl...

Even though the tech in this world made it possible to develop games without having to write low-level code…
You still couldn’t skip on art, music, modeling, and all the other stuff.

Under the full moon, Gaara sat on top of a large fish on a rooftop, lazily swinging its tail.
Beneath the fish’s tail, a row of wind chimes swayed in the evening breeze, ringing softly.
