1 Chapter 1: Prologue

World War, strategy game set in World War II.

It was an online virtual reality game that started to attract attention as the character creation is beautiful and has a high degree of freedom. I was addicted to this more than I imagined because of the main story that I can enjoy, as well as abundant interaction elements.

If you ask what is the difference between World War and other online games, it will be "base building." Due to this system, I had to pay additional expenses every month to get the premium packages.

First, a player becomes the boss of a base. You can then pay or use battle medals to build facilities and minions.

This facility and subordinate are according to the great powers of World War II. Guild themes can be German, Soviet, British, French, Italian, American, and Japanese. Of course, apart from military installations, inside and outside the premises such as a kitchen, an outdoor hot tub, a maze-like garden, etc., can be done with a surprising degree of freedom.

Since subordinate characters use the same character creation system as players, you can train countless full-time subordinates. Teams and jobs also have the same degree of freedom as players.

As the NPC enemies can be easily defeated, I, and even the players cannot complain.

Suddenly I return to reality. A major reason why I don't have time to

beating so many is due to work.

So far my sales performance is above average, so I passed the

most of the time in the game world at home.

The world of World War shows a high-end headstock mount.

In this world, I look like a handsome, slim, tall, handsome young man with black hair.

My clothes are the uniform of a Wehrmacht officer.

My game name is Saihtam Areriep.

In the direction I am looking, there is a deep forest nearby and at a distance is a military base that is the headquarters.

Now, I am standing in front of the remains of a battlefield littered with dead and destroyed vehicles that belonged to a rival player who tried to invade my base to steal my resources.

"There is something wrong?"

When I was looking at the landscape that stretched out under my eyes, I heard a woman's voice a little low from behind.

Looking back, a beautiful girl in a German uniform is standing there. The girl who was rocking her long blonde hair is looking where I am with a beautiful posture.

Although she is a beautiful girl that anyone will unwittingly admire, she has a strange atmosphere due to the Mauser Kar 98K bolt-action rifle in her hands.

Standing in front of the girl who is looking at me, I open my mouth.

"The battle is over"

The moment I murmured that single word, the landscape that was the surface of a battlefield completely changed. It became a room with a high ceiling and a bright white wall.

It is Saihtam's personal residence, the Berghof.

In front of me is the girl who still has no expression, but I did not care and look around me.

To the left and right of the carpet that has been placed in the center of the room are

men and women lined up. They are standing uniformly here.

These are 20 people with first-class abilities among the subordinates to whom

believe.

I averted my gaze from my men and looked back at the girl.

The girls who look at me and do not move is my first subordinate that I created and trained to the fullest, the soldier Erika.

"Erika, on hold."

"Yes I understand."

When I gave instructions, Erika responded and walked to the other side of the hall. I followed Erika and headed deep into the corridor, then ignored her as she lined up with the other subordinates. I step up the 5-step staircase to the luxurious office I made just in case.

I sat cross-legged at the table and took a puff.

"I want to change jobs ..."

I sighed and murmured and then looked up at the ceiling.

"But looking for work is problematic ..."

I became a seller of pool maintenance products when I went looking for work. Although he was alone, a year has passed.

As for Berlin, which is my base, there is no problem to buy it, but ...

"Oh, I wonder if I could win the lottery ..."

I uttered such an incongruous word and collapsed on the desk.

As I was searching for enemies all night, I was struck by drowsiness. I closed my eyes and sighed shallowly.

I feel like someone is close.

Somehow, it felt like an advertisement, even if I was half asleep.

"Mein Führer?"

There was a low, clear female voice that seemed to be a little scared.

"Yeah ...? Hm? Oh what?"

I give a half-asleep response due to my sleepy head, but suddenly remembered that I was living alone and taking a look.

"Ah good."

Such a voice shook my eardrum, but it did not echo from my head.

In front of me, was Erika, the character I did.

That's not the problem. The reason I'm speechless is that Erika was breathing a sigh of relief expressively like a real human.

"You were sleeping. Sorry for waking you up."

Erika gave me such a word that I instantly blinked in surprise.

"Hey? Hey...? Did you upgrade to a new version? When did they ...?, No. What is this advanced function ...? "

For me who is in the midst of confusion, Erika lowered her head.

In any case, the characters in World War basically have no changes in facial expression. The only character that can do so is the one prepared by the game company as a side event character.

Even dialogue, she should only be able to speak until the player encounters a.

certain condition.

"Sorry, mein Führer ... Excuse me who is ignorant ... but what is an update?"

"He spoke again ..."

"Ah, me, sorry! I did not realize that this is a place where you should not speak without

Excuse me..."

"He got scared and raised his voice ... No way, that's crazy ..."

I brought my gaze closer to Erika's figure fluttering in panic. This game suddenly evolved too much.

What the hell is going on.

When Erika is confused with me, the office door suddenly opens.

"Ah, Erika. Where is the Führer? "

It was Marlene who was the fifth character I did.

Marlene is a lovely girl. Due to her short stature, she looks like a little high school student with black hair, fair skin, big blue eyes, and a slender body.

"Ah, Marlene, the Führer is resting and is ..."

Hearing Marlene's voice, Erika looked at Marlene.

"Ah, me, I'm sorry mein Führer."

Marlene moved to see if I was there and started to panic when she saw my face for the first time.

"No, it's okay. Okay, you two sit there"

I spoke with Marlene who is trying to leave the room and with Erika who is trying to lower her head again.

""Hey""

They were both somehow hardened by my words when I pointed to the other side of the desk.

The two of them sat on the side of the desk that I pointed out in front of me. They are sitting next to each other with tight expressions.

I looked at two people who were very nervous, and thought with my head calm why

they were scared.

No, in the first place, why do the characters I've created adopt the kind of attitude like they're afraid of me?

There is no such configuration in character creation. Even though it was a later adjustment that I would like, these two are people who attack powerful opponents on their own.

While I was twisting my head with my inner mind, I opened my mouth as I looked at the two who were stretched out like sticks.

"I'd like to ask you both questions, okay?"

""Yes...!""

As I ask these two, they nod their heads many times while raising an eyebrow.

"Can you say your name and age?"

When they heard it, they looked at each other, stopped, and looked at me again.

"Erika Scheiler, 20 years old."

"Marlene Eisen, 19 years old."

"Hm ... an estimated staff? Then let's listen to their hobbies. "

When I asked them, they rounded their eyes and blinked.

It is likely not answered. Anyway, the character of the characters I made is set in the post settings I set. Commonly included absolute loyalty, spirit of sacrifice, and weapon characteristics, but no hobbies were established.

When I saw the two of them bewildered, I was convinced of my victory. However, they opened their mouths fearfully.

"Ah, I ... Ah, I like to make and eat sweet things ..."

"Hm ...?"

"Ah, me, I am delighted to be able to discuss it with the Führer."

"Um, ah, Marlene, ah, I'm also truly ...!"

Seeing two screaming women, I felt cold sweat trickle down my cheek.

No matter what you think, it doesn't seem like a programmed response.

I can even see the small changes in their facial expression as they blush slightly ... No, wait a minute.

I lowered my eyes as I glanced at them.

Yes, I only have to log out once.

"Sign off"

However, there are no changes even with the keyword. No, I was already feeling this before I even tried to log out.

Did you hear my murmur? Those two are looking at me with a doubtful face. That unpleasant premonition extends even further into my heart.

"I'm going out."

As I say so, I quickly opened the door in a hurry and stepped out into the hall. I heard the footsteps of the two hurrying behind me.

"Oh mein Führer!"

As soon as I stepped out into the hall, I heard a loud man's voice.

I can see across the room, there were several silhouettes of people under the stairs.

"Everyone was worried! Of course, even I was puzzled mein Führer ... "

"Mein Führer! You're good? If your physical condition is bad, we will call Dr. Morell "

Looking at me was a middle-aged man and a tall, beautiful woman with straight dark brown hair.

The man is Erich von Manstein. The woman is Adalia Tarr.

"There is no problem. I'm going out."

I looked into the eyes of the two people and answered like this, and walked down the center of the corridor towards

the stairs.

"Oh. Let me accompany you ... "

"I'm going too!"

"I got it."

I answered without turning around and as I opened the door, there was a noise throughout the hall.

When I go out into the hall, I heard several footsteps behind me that were about 10 people.

I turned right and headed for the exit door without thinking.

After going through the gate I was able to have a view of the surroundings of the Berghof.

"Hahaha ... Where is it here?"

When I laugh with a hint of self-mockery, I look around the landscape that stretches

length of the circumference. Half of the surrounding area is a cliff. In the back is the sea that follows the horizon.

The other half are mountains and forests. The plains seemed to stretch far away.

There is no such map in the game.

When I stand with my head in a mess, a person comes up to me.

"This is ... a new area, right?"

"There is no mistake, I do not know this scenario."

"I'm not asking you, Manstein."

"What shall we do, mein Führer ...?"

"Marlene, don't be afraid. The Führer is here. "

As his subordinates heard rumors, they all began to show their approval at Karin's last word.

A silly observation, I'm in a delusional panic.

I think and look back. Everyone's gaze was taken by me and no one said a word.

If trust becomes light, the ray of trust that comes out of everyone's eyes will burn me to death.

I looked at everyone's faces in turn, and then pulled my cheek and nodded.

"Leave it to me."

The courtyard was engulfed in cheers.
