The God's Games

Other gaming companies speculated that while some claimed that <<God Games Online>> was cutting off its own arm, industry insiders believed this was a strategic move, successfully bringing their IP to life.

Wasn't this a step towards developing a derivative anime industry?

It seemed they were testing players' receptiveness.

If players responded well, they could openly announce this as their next project.

In reality, it was quite aligned with their predictions.

It was evident that they were an ambitious company, and they should be moving towards film and television development next.

If Hanjun knew what they were thinking, he would probably laugh out loud.

He didn't have such complicated thoughts; he just wanted to make Hanbin happy.

~•~

As Hanbin updated the account more frequently, the characters of the God of Light and the God of Darkness remained popular.

At the annual game carnival, many players expressed their intention to cosplay as the two gods.

They didn't know that this time, the World of Eorera had accepted the event's official invitation and generously allocated them a space to set up a showcase.

When Kim Jung-hyun informed Hanjun about this, Hanjun clapped his hands and decided that they would just set up a few gaming stations in their dedicated exhibition area.

However, after Kim Jung-hyun took a tour of the venue and returned with a grim expression, he asked Hanjun if they needed to change the layout of their exhibition.

Other gaming companies had not only showcased several new games but also created many game-related merchandise and artbooks.

He even heard that on the event day, they would invite several cosplayers to enhance the atmosphere.

Wouldn't that make their exhibition seem empty and bare?

Besides, since <<God Games Online>> was so popular, how could they not even have the most basic merchandise? That felt too shabby.

"Cosplayers?" Hanjun focused on this detail.

Kim Jung-hyun assumed he didn't know the meaning of "cosplayer" and explained, "It's when people dress up as characters from the game; those people are called cosplayers."

Hearing this, Hanjun thought it was simple.

With their two original characters is here, why would they need any cosplayers?

"Don't worry; on the day of the event, Hanbin and I will just show up for a bit."

At that moment, Kim Jung-hyun remembered that, right, their company didn't need any cosplayers.

The most popular NPCs in the game were portrayed by the bosses themselves.

As long as Hanjun stood outside, people would definitely recognize him.

"Then, Boss, what role does Mr. Hwan play in the game?"

Kim Jung-hyun finally dared to ask.

After Hwanbin's personal account skyrocketed, he learned that Hwanbin was actually creating derivative stories about the God of Light and the God of Darkness.

He became very curious about Hwanbin; could it be that he wasn't playing an NPC but was instead the entire game's scriptwriter?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hanjun recalled that Hanbin had been using a little trick to obscure his face, making it so that anyone who caught a glimpse of him would forget what he looked like, thus preventing them from matching him with the NPC in the game.

But seeing Kim Jung-hyun so curious, Hanjun decided to tease him: "You'll find out soon enough."

~•~

The day before the event, Hanjun had Kim Jung-hyun book three hotel rooms near the exhibition hall for convenience, so they could easily get to the venue on the day of the event.

The next morning, even though it was close to the agreed time, Kim Jung-hyun hadn't seen Hanjun or Hwanbin come out of their rooms, making him anxious enough that he almost wanted to go upstairs and knock on the door.

Just as the time arrived and Kim Jung-hyun was about to go upstairs, he saw two tall men walking out of the elevator.

Their outfits were particularly eye-catching, quickly becoming the focus of the entire lobby.

Kim Jung-hyun took a closer look and realized that the man with white curly hair wearing divine robes was none other than his boss!

Looking at the person beside Hanjun, who was wearing a black cloak that had been pulled down this time, he could see his face and the outfit beneath the cloak.

It was a set of clothing similar to Hanjun's divine robe, but the colors and decorations were completely different.

Overall, it was clear to anyone that these two had a significant connection.

So, Hwanbin must be playing the God of Darkness, right?

Kim Jung-hyun nodded his head in realization.

After he finished admiring their outfits, he felt like something was off.

It wasn't until Hanjun and Hwanbin approached him that Kim Jung-hyun exclaimed in surprise, "So, Mr. Hwan plays the God of Darkness in the game?"

His voice was so loud that it drew the attention of everyone around them, who continued to watch the three of them.

Hanjun didn't mind the attention, but Hanbin was a bit unhappy; he immediately put his hood back up to shield himself from the gazes of others.

However, Hanjun still gestured for Kim Jung-hyun to lower his voice, to avoid attracting any strange looks from others.

Kim Jung-hyun glanced at Hanjun and Hwanbin's outfits and couldn't help but exclaim that his two bosses' cosplay skills were probably better than those of any other cosplayers, presenting a very realistic image.

Just like Hanjun's white curly hair, he couldn't spot any flaws at all.

Although the divine robes didn't move like in the CG promotional videos, the overall impression they gave was particularly authentic.

It made Kim Jung-hyun feel as if he had really seen the God of Light in person.

As for Hwanbin, there was no need to say much.

Kim Jung-hyun now realized why Hwanbin was chosen to play the God of Darkness; his personality was just like that of the God of Darkness, and his earlier evasive gestures perfectly matched the character design—he didn't like humans.

Just thinking about how excited the players would be to see Hanjun and Hwanbin in their roles made Kim Jung-hyun feel thrilled as well.
