A Certain Middle-aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log

At long last, the PvP tournament of the 20 Liberators has drawn near to the day after tomorrow.

In front of the coliseum made in Nexia, a large amount of people were enveloped in a frenzied atmosphere; as for why

The cutoff for purchasing admission tickets, as well as betting tickets, is close at had, so those who want them should hurry up!

The NPC vendor girl advertised with a loud, authoritative voice.

The admission tickets are self explanatory, but as for the betting tickets, you buy the ticket of whichever party you think will win as a bet; the entire sum of money used to buy betting tickets will be split amongst all the possessors of the winning betting ticket.

If its like this, then not even 1Glo will enter into the bookkeeper managers profits, but this time its pretty much a festival, so theres no intentions of taking in profits, it seems.

But, even so, theyre selling so well; betting is a frightening thing.

By the way, the parties are only designated by the party leaders name and the amount of people in the party.

2-man Party: Teen

3-man Party: Grad

4-man Party: Ayame

5-man Party: Silver

6-man Party: Randa

Is what they are.

As for the popularity, number 1 is Grads party, the runner up is Silvers party, Ayames party is a rival to keep an eye on, and Teen and Randas parties are treated as the underdogs.

Aint this Grad officially redeeming himself?

No, if its that, then Silver would be the one to redeem himself, right?

For me(ore), I want to support the Ayame-san who came putting in all that effort from the time of obscurity!

Teen and Randa arent weak either, but their other members are way too awful.

The rough evaluations of onlookers is that kind of thing. And though its rough, its an accurate evaluation. Its just, you wont know how well theyve strengthened themselves until after the fights begin, and you wont know what the results of the fights will be until its begun1. Even so, here and there are people who buy the unknown Teen and Randas betting tickets.

And, in the end, I wonder who was the chicken that ran away?

In general, this sort of topic is also guaranteed to make its appearance.

I bet hes not being a chicken though, that dungeons solo-er; if there was information about him you could tell better.

Thats right, thats right; the first guy to do it is the most impressive, right? The one who calls him a chicken is a chicken.

Whatd you say you bastard!

Thats right; it was written that the one who achieved the solo portion rejected his participation.

In the end, no one figured out who the solo achiever was; it remained a mystery.

Many players came up with theories, but none of the theories were proven.

As a bonus, with this times participation rejection, the only proof that the solo player had, the Liberator title, was erased. The decisive evidence has pretty much already disappeared.

Setting aside whether he was a chicken or not, would you guys kick aside this only chance to get unique stuff?

The people who got excited about the topic of the reject-ee shook their heads at this voice.

Its a magic sword, right? Revival potion, right? Special equipment, right? If it were me, I wouldnt kick it out, ne.

Its impossible for me; I want a revival potion, see.

I think its impossible; if you think about it another way, someone doesnt want to stand out so much that hed kick even this aside is a rare type of player.

Typically, MMO player aim for strength.

Aiming for peerless play, winning in PvP, or even searching for rare items.

To do any of those, in the end you need power.

Because of the desire to play that way, people level up, search for items, and make equipment.

And, as you struggle towards your goal, whats waiting for you is clashes with others who have chosen your same path. Even avoiding them is impossible unless you are stronger than your opponents.

You can especially expect opposition in an official PvP tournament where the winning prize is announced to be 30 million in cash.

If it comes to that, the heated competition that breaks out would be way past the kind youd get in an inferior real-life; you wouldnt be able to say its just a mere game.

Maa, to begin with, mere is ~ right?

Even if stuff like people arent limited to games is said, its the words of people who arent able to take anything seriously. To master one thing, do you know how difficult that is?

When you say that, there will be people who respond saying that they seriously go to work, but thats a different topic.

Do you aim to be number 1 in the industry in that job? Do you put that much effort in?

Thats the kind of direction Im talking about.

Whether its play or work, to stand at the very top cant be reached with an half-hearted effort.

Maa, theres that kind of hidden circumstance too; its the opinion of all the players that this times PvP also serves as a pre-game for that official tournament.

The official tournament has over 1000 people who have entered; this times tournament, even though its just a little, its expected that you can come to watch and try to steal the movements of the upper players.

The discussion got a bit off track, but the players who want to talk about that kind of thing have also gathered; the front of the coliseum has become engulfed in a heated fervor. Although its VR, the ones that are there are gathered there are, without a doubt, humans.

The tournament still has two days before it begins. But for Earth, this is all something completely unrelated.
