Some games require agreeing to this statement in order to play.

Even if it's not necessary for the game, the game typically begins with a similar disclaimer guiding the player through the precautions.

Although the advantage of a game is the 'immersion' that no other medium can match, starting with such a statement disrupts the immersion from the beginning despite everyone knowing the work is fiction.

There is no mandatory need to include such a disclaimer, so why do it?

It is likely to emphasize a fact that everyone should always remember.

[The purpose of fiction is not to dictate beliefs existing in reality.]

This message is for the developer themselves.

[Nothing in fiction can replace reality.]

This message is for the players who will share the journey of the work's story.

So.

Do you agree?

The man with tattered clothes and an old sword said, "So, I *can* kill."

He did not have any particularly memorable appearance.

He was likely not a well-known person, at least, not to the mercenary he was killing.

The important fact was that the man who had been stabbed by the worn-out sword was now dying in front of him.

"Ugh..."

When the man pulled the sword out of the mercenary, the mercenary's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He no longer had the strength to resist.

He wanted to raise his arm to swing his sword, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to cast a spell, but he lacked the focus to do so.

"Why... you... how?"

Thus, the mercenary chose to give up on resisting and opened his mouth to speak.

Why had the man suddenly attacked him? He had only seen him collapse and moved him to a nearby cave.

What kind of person, what kind of thoughts had led him to do this as soon as he woke up?

The mercenary was so curious that he asked the question.

"How fascinating."

The man stroked his chin as he stared at the dying mercenary.

The sight of the man in his worn-out clothes pondering was somewhat terrifying.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man broke his silence.

"I never knew I could attack an NPC. Is that how the game is made?"

"...What?"

The mercenary couldn't understand the man's words.

NPC, not knowing an attack would work, game. He couldn't make sense of any of the words the man said.

Having spent his whole life living as a mercenary according to his "setting," he could never understand what the man was saying.

'No, you must respond properly. Properly—'

But he couldn't continue his next words or even think about the meaning of his response, and the mercenary's consciousness began to fade.

A killing driven by nothing but curiosity, with no reason.

That was the first death experienced by NPC Aiden Oliver. <<less

Also known as 'Dragon's Promise,' according to Da Feng himself: 'It's a story about a dragon wanting to marry a bride, but being deceived by a spirit to search for treasure...'... more>>

Legend has it that every hundred years, an evil dragon comes to the mortal realm and takes away a princess as his bride.

Legend has it that when the gods departed from the world, they buried their most precious treasures somewhere, along with their deepest love.

In order to successfully marry his bride, Kenken mortgages his ancestral necklace to the Prince of the Elf tribe, Grantina, hiring him as an assistant to defeat the Knights Templar.

This necklace is actually the key to unlocking the treasure of the gods.

The young Dragon King, with intentions to marry a bride, and the 'ulterior motive' Elf Prince, set out on a journey for their respective wishes.

Will there be a bride?

Will there be treasure?

Although legends and reality always have a little difference… <<less

"No wonder! A high-ranking vampire wouldn't consider making a mere human brat their familiar!"

"What do you mean by 'brat'..."

Todd, realizing too late that Vasha, whom he thought to be a high-ranking vampire, is just a lower-ranking one.
