A Lie Has Become Reality

59 – EGC (1)

The first experience of First Class was truly as ecstatic as its name.

It was a time when the word “Hotel in the sky” Was the best fit.

Sufficient preliminary research has already been done through numerous searches, but each and every experience was fresh.

The best part of all was that I was completely isolated from those noisy people and was able to get away from the noise.

After listening to the story, everyone was seated in business class.

I guess I didn’t even have the money to sit in the first class.

Spent time in an isolated space with them during the long flight was well worth the money.

The First Class Blitz Review, where one ticket cost close to 20 million won, was entrusted to filming by Park Yoon-seong as a general manager.

I’m sure you took the picture yourself.

“Guests, our plane has arrived at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. For your safety, after the plane has come to a complete stop, until the seat belt light turns off… ”

Rock-!

The plane’s wheels hit the ground and the cabin shook violently.

After a long 14-hour flight from Seoul to Paris, the announcement to prepare for landing finally reverberated inside the plane.

Looking at the vast take-off field beyond the window, I can finally feel it. You really arrived in France.

Of course, throughout the flight, I lay down and rolled around, fiddling with my phone, but I feel quite tired.

I’m like this after boarding first class, but I’m afraid of economy class.

Kik-!

The plane, which had been rattling for a long time, finally came to a complete stop.

After confirming that the plane had stopped completely, I got up and moved towards the party.

Unlike the 1st floor, where passengers were busy loading and unloading, the 2nd floor was very comfortable.

“CEO! Here you go!”

In the distance, I could see Park Yun-seong waving his hand.

He was holding a gimbal with a camera installed in his other hand.

Looking at his shiny face, he must have picked the mulberry properly.

I smiled and followed Yunseong Park out of the plane.

“Have a pleasant trip, customer.”

As I stepped out of the plane while being warmly welcomed by the flight attendants, I saw Kim Ha-yoon and his secretary waiting for me.

“CEO, would you like to look around slowly at the airport?”

“No, let’s go straight to the dorm.”

“Okay.”

If you stay at the airport for a long time, you’ll just get distracted.

The secretary led the way, and we faithfully followed behind.

Park Yoon-seong did not stop filming for a moment, moving the camera in one hand to and fro, as if it was so strange.

“Is this the immigration checkpoint?”

“Yes. First class passengers go through immigration separately at this dedicated window.”

“This is amazing.”

Doesn’t that mean that you will never run into the 10 blood tax thieves while going through immigration?

As expected, money is good.

Immigration screening was over quickly.

We found our luggage and came out of the airport through a dedicated passage.

When I came out, the fresh air and the smell of the wind stimulated my sense of smell.

Since I’ve been in a confined place the whole time, the fresh air somehow excites me.

“CEO, we still have about 20 minutes before the hotel limousine arrives.”

“The weather is nice, so let’s sit here and wait.”

“CEO! I’ll go around and do some more shooting!”

“I… I’ll come too… !”

I will do my best even if the staff doesn’t ask me to, but what kind of CEO would refuse?

When I told them to come within 20 minutes, the guys moved on without looking back.

“France is pretty from the airport.”

I’ve already searched all the vlogs on YouTube, called travel vlogs in France, but the screen couldn’t capture even half of the real thing.

Just sitting still and enjoying the scenery outside the airport feels like healing.

I breathed in the fresh air and enjoyed the peace.

****

“Wow… !”

Kim Ha-yoon was completely engrossed in the signboard of a building in front of him.

＜ Five Seasons, Porge V ＞

She burst into admiration like a child when she saw the signboard that looked like it was plastered with gold.

A beige-toned building designed in the gothic style.

Even though it is not a particularly high-rise building, everyone’s eyes were captured by the visuals reminiscent of a large mansion.

Anyone can say that it is old-fashioned.

As we entered the hotel, an employee in a tuxedo started guiding us.

After checking in, we took a short tour of the hotel while being guided by the staff.

The two guys, who made a lot of fuss, were busy expressing admiration whenever a new space appeared.

I finally got the key and went into the room.

“Crazy.”

“Wow… !”

Royal Suite Penthouse.

Occupying the top half of the building, the Royal Suite Penthouse is the most expensive room in the hotel.

The price of a night’s stay alone is approaching 10 million won in Korean currency.

In capitalism, expensive is as good as it is expensive.

In the vast space in front of you, pure white marble dominated the interior, and luxury crystals were decorated everywhere.

According to Butler, all the artworks placed everywhere are authentic.

As it occupied half of the top floor, the use of space was also satisfactory.

There are only four rooms with beds and three bathrooms.

Even the view of Paris spread through the glass surrounding the entire living room was new the more I saw it.

That’s right. If it’s expensive, you should do this.

I nodded to express my satisfaction with the room.

“Oh, this is from TV Taewoong, CEO!”

From noble mtl dot com

“Jin…Really… !”

When I heard the word Tae-woong, my head turned around involuntarily.

“Hey, this is a true enhancement of national prestige, CEO!”

“God… amazing… “

A logo of Taewoong was engraved at the bottom center of a large 70-inch TV placed in the living room.

I burst into laughter at the sight of the two of us liking each other like children over nothing.

“Today is a completely free schedule, so just do what you want to do and have a good rest.”

“Then I will go around the city and do some filming!”

“I… I’m coming too brother… !”

EGC.

Abbreviation of Electronic Games Contest.

As an annual game show, it is one of the three largest game shows in the world.

If you are a gamer, you must have heard the name of the contest at least once.

The day EGC is literally held is a festival for gamers, as numerous overseas game companies attend and announce new games and hold various event-type events.

EGC is also famous for changing its venue every year. And surprisingly, this year’s EGC will be held in Paris, France.

Oh, just in time, I am also in Paris, France.

As a true gamer before being the CEO of a game company, can I miss this opportunity?

EGC Intuition is one of the big reasons why I decided to travel to France.

“Wow, people are not kidding.”

In front of the entrance of the building where the EGC was held, crowds of people gathered to attend the festival.

As EGC is a huge event with tens of thousands of people attending, many types of people attend.

However, it is not easy for ordinary gamers to attend this event through normal routes.

To attend the event, you need a participation ticket sent by the organizer.

The problem is that most of the tickets are distributed to people concerned, not to the general public.

Reporters, employees, attendants, influencers, politicians, game developer officials… ….

However, only 5,000 seats are allowed for the general public.

Even the general audience is not given the right to speak for game companies that are presenting.

It is a game show that is conducted under the strict collusion of game companies and revolves around the industry.

Of course, due to its size, there are no substitutes yet.

“It was good to acquire Leonplay.”

Of course, I proudly received the participation ticket directly from the organizers.

As an influencer with millions of subscribers and a game business of its own, it’s strange not to give it to them.

In other words, I can speak at any time during the presentation and attend media conferences.

As huge as the exterior of the building, the interior boasted an enormous size.

Since 40,000 people participated, it should be this large.

I passed the time by fiddling with my phone until I sat down in my assigned seat and started.

Tack-

With a dull sound effect, the lights installed all over the place were turned off at once.

A minute later, a familiar background sound resonated throughout the vast hall.

“The Adventures of Gela… “

The Adventures of Gela series.

As a game series produced by Nintendo, it is a legend among legends with cumulative sales exceeding 100 million copies.

If you’re a gamer, you can’t know about this BGM.

As expected, the whispers spread like ripples.

“Until Ender Scrolls BGM?”

Starting with the background sound of Zella’s Adventure, the background sounds of the fundamental games were mash-up and flowed one after another.

It’s an insignificant start, but I’m already thrilled.

Chack-

Numerous pillars of light descending from the ceiling lit up the stage.

On the stage, two men stood holding Q cards in one hand.

“Hello everyone! Welcome to EGC!”

A raspy voice resounded in a pleasant tone.

As a signal flare, the EGC logo was projected on the super-large screen behind the stage.

Cheers erupted from all over the audience.

Of course, I also clapped and shouted at my throat.

After an impressive start, the game show went smoothly.

Of course, all proceedings were conducted in English.

‘I went to elementary school in the United States, so my English is good.’

Thanks to the writing I don’t even remember when I wrote it, at least I have no difficulties communicating in English.

I just sat and watched the progress, responding appropriately.

Of course, I turned my head to pretend I didn’t see it every time my eyes met the cameras installed in every corner.

And finally, the long-awaited announcement of new games by game companies has arrived.

“This is Power Games, famous for the original Six series!”

Original Six series.

It is an FPS game with an open world fantasy background, and it is the hottest game series recently.

Thanks to one of the original Six series, Power Games moved their offices, and that alone is enough to roughly tell how successful the series was.

And finally, the long-awaited announcement of a new title three years after the release of the previous title.

My heart started beating fast.

Doo-

With a magnificent sound effect, the lights went off again and the video on the screen was played.

Once you pass the graphics.

Animations, skill effects, backgrounds……

I wanted to run to the experience booth and play it myself.

But trouble came from an unexpected place.

“…… What is that?”

A black female character with a prosthetic arm and leg on the screen.

She was sweeping her battlefield, showing off her crazy moves.

The Original Six series is famous not only for the fun that comes from its elegant graphics and excellent sense of immersion, but also for its thorough combat history.

But in such a game, a black woman with a prosthetic arm and even a prosthetic limb makes such unreasonable movements?

“…… “

I think the other people sitting in the audience have the same thoughts as me.

A chilly silence pressed down on this space.

But it didn’t end there.

As the battle scene passed, a video that unraveled the story of this character came out.

But this black female character is gay.

So far it’s okay.

Can be gay.

Even if the target of dating wasn’t just the female lead in the previous work.

“f*ck?!”

An intense beep rang in her head.

So, the heroine of the previous work, whom I admired for a long time even buying goods, is saying that she is now dating that black female character, right?

Where did you sell the existing love line of the female lead in the previous work?

Besides, the story that continued from the previous work was completely destroyed.

Ha…hahahaha…

I was speechless and only laughed out loud.

Tsk. I just clicked my tongue in contempt.

Chack-

The video ended before I knew it, the lights came on and the man in charge of the show opened her mouth.

“… It was the original Six series of Power Games! Can anyone speak?”

The right to speak was given only to those who obtained the right to participate directly from the organizers.

The seats on the 4th floor, where the general audience sat together, were not even able to speak even though they were on the verge of bursting.

The problem is that those who have the right to speak are also not paying attention to what they say.

“Yes! The one who raised his hand there!”

The lenses of the cameras installed here and there rotated with a jing sound and focused on me.

Because I pressed the remote to speak.

I got up from my seat and grabbed the microphone I had been given beforehand.

“My name is Sungwoo Kim and I am running a game company called Leonplay in Korea.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Kim.”

After the brief introduction, cheers mingled with whistles erupted from here and there.

What is it, am I famous here too?

“That’s the guy who became famous on Twitter with Nedit these days! You asked me to comment on the original Six series, so please feel free to say it.”

The man in charge of the show set the stage while raising the atmosphere.

There is only one reason why I raise my hand and drag aggro among these countless people.

“I want to ask Power Games.”

Strangely, it was harder than usual to be patient today.

And the string of patience that had been stretched out was already severed while watching the previous video.

“Why are you announcing this crap when you publish games?”

The whispering voices spread like ripples.

Already, Power Games has completely scissored my reason.

I just spit out what I wanted to say the whole time I was watching the video.

“I am angry. It’s to the point where I want to get a refund for the previous purchase.”
