Chapter 8 Game Promotion: The King's Looks Are Amazing! I'm Amazing! ...
[Host, the promotional video is finished. Please check it for any issues. If there are no problems, please suggest an account ID and I will publish it.]
East didn't stay idle. He went to look through the books left by the dark magician. He had just come across a very interesting spell when he heard the system's voice. It seemed like only a short time had passed.
Easter took the magic book and walked back to the dining table, sitting down. "A private account? Shouldn't we be using the official account?"
[One official account and one private account are used to enhance player immersion. You are the only faction NPC, creating a sense of exclusivity. Calling you by your name directly is too long and makes it difficult to come up with a nickname.]
East, "..." He was twenty-five, considered young, but due to his upbringing, he wasn't very knowledgeable about the internet. What the system said made sense; listening to the system should be the right thing to do.
“Let’s call it Phoenix. At first, I wanted to call it Phoenix, but it’s a bit strange to have a Western background with the name of an Eastern mythical beast.” East said, his eyes fixed on the light screen projected by the system.
To be honest, it's truly professional. The opening music is very stylish, followed by a magnificent and beautiful scene of the entire continent of Luomanji, with silhouettes of various fantastical creatures passing by. The camera then cuts to a small coronation ceremony, followed by a chaotic escape. The final scene shows a handsome man sleeping under the trees amidst the greenery.
The composition of light and shadow accentuates the sleeping man's charm, making him appear like Snow White sleeping in a crystal coffin or Sleeping Beauty surrounded by vines, giving one a strong desire to kiss him.
The video is two minutes long and includes a few simple subtitles: [The chaotic continent of Luomanjier, swords and magic, various fantastical races, and a fallen king weave a legendary epic.]
East, who didn't see the final scene, thought it was very good, very good, the level was commendable. But after seeing the end... he could only say that he understood, he understood completely, "That's fine."
[My plan is this: the official account will post basic information, tomorrow will be a general introduction to the region, and then we'll gradually update with the characters and fantasy creatures that will appear. The first will definitely be the host, the second will be that psychopathic demon, and the monsters that players will need to fight. The host's account will post more everyday content, and the main operations will be handled on the host's personal account.] Well-organized and planned.
Easter smiled and said, "System, thank you." The system had really helped him a lot, and it wasn't just his imagination. The system was indeed more mature than before and wouldn't cry like it used to.
[You're welcome~] The system's mechanical voice betrayed a hint of shyness. [If it weren't for my mistake, the host wouldn't have suffered so much.]
“It has nothing to do with you; no one could have predicted this,” Easter reassured him.
[Host, cheer up! I can use all the faith power accumulated in these two accounts on you. We'll soon be able to kick demons, punch dragons, and even overthrow the gods.] The system chuckled.
East, “…” Why does the system always overturn his ideas shortly after he thinks it’s getting a little better? It’s hard to judge how it seamlessly switches between serious and silly.
"System, stop dreaming. We haven't even taken the first step yet."
[Okay, then I'll upload the video now?] The system was still full of energy. Even without the Dimensional Management Bureau, it could still give its host a cheat code, allowing the host to reach the pinnacle of life.
"Can I watch? I mean..."
"Of course." The system interrupted before Easter could even finish speaking.
The screen changed, remaining on the video upload interface. The video upload was successful, and it was created jointly by two accounts.
Easter's eyes crinkled as he watched, waiting to see how things would unfold. He didn't believe the system hadn't done anything.
Before long, Easter watched as the video's likes and comments rapidly increased.

[Another new holographic online game? The CG is pretty good though, looking forward to it.]
The picture quality is so good, so smooth, it feels great!
Wow, this visual is amazing! Is this a new game? I hope the game is like the CG – just keep crouching and waiting.
[Wait, what game is this? How do you play it? It seems like there are so many interesting races (eyes seeing the truth through silhouettes.jpg). And looking at the promotional material, it's a full-immersion VR game, which makes me even more excited.]
[Judging from the promotional video, it seems to be a Western fantasy genre, so the player character is that fugitive king? Speaking of which, that king is so handsome!!! I can't wait!]
[I'm totally smitten with the King's looks! I'm totally in love! Absolutely! When do reservations open? I'm so excited!]
...
With positive reviews, there will naturally also be negative and neutral ones.
Is this another case of unscrupulous capitalists trying to fleece ordinary people?
Wait, wait, wait, what kind of shady studio is this? They can't just pull off a good CG sequence and fool people. We game enthusiasts' money isn't so easy to earn.
[Stop arguing, stop arguing. The CG is indeed good, but don't make it another one where the CG is made by hand and the game is made by foot, especially a full-immersion online game. Do you even understand how to do it? Are you really going to do it?]
The CG in this game is absolutely stunning, especially that white-haired guy? Is he a real person?
[There's an introduction; it's linked to another account called "Phoenix," you can check it out, it's quite interesting.]
[Oh, wow~ So that's how it's set up after I came back from watching it? That's really interesting.]
[It's been advertised, when can I make a reservation? I'd like to go in and get close to the white-haired guy.]
[I don't just want a white-haired guy, I'm also curious about what other races look like, starry-eyed.jpg]
[Following this thread, waiting for pre-registration notification. I'm actually getting tired of all the games I've been playing lately.]
[This is the first fully immersive Western fantasy MMORPG, so it's worth having some expectations. Hopefully, it won't disappoint.]
[Ever since holographic technology was developed, every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants to piggyback on it. *rolls eyes*]
Instead of focusing on the main storyline and game setting, they're just trying to attract players with their looks. This is ruining the current gaming atmosphere. (Disdain.jpg)
So, does that mean we're all summoned creatures of that white-haired guy? That's really interesting. Official team, please ignore those sour comments; the CG is excellent, and the concept is particularly novel. Since I've spoken highly of you, could you please give us a beta test spot?
[Damn, this netizen is so friendly, unlike me who just reaches out, reaches out.jpg]
…………
Comments kept popping up one after another, making East dizzy. He rubbed his eyes; his pupils were already reddish, and he didn't want them to get even redder from staying up so long.
"System, you're amazing. Thanks to you." Easter said sincerely and earnestly, his heartfelt gratitude was genuine and palpable. The system could be a bit silly at times, but it could also be very serious when it was serious.
【You're welcome, host, it's what I should do】The system blushed.jpg. 【Tomorrow I'll open the reservation channel and then draw beta test slots from them. Host, how many players do you think should be let in first?】His host is so good, so gentle. He must protect his host.
“Ten or so first,” Ister said, frowning. “Will other people come here? Or even gods?” He had only thought that there were monsters in the mountains here, making it a good place for beginners to level up. He hadn’t considered that the fact that demons had appeared here might attract more church members.
"Host, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the surroundings and notify you promptly if anything happens," the system said. "This is indeed a very suitable place for development. It's remote, desolate, and far from human habitation. No outsiders will come here, and the gods won't be paying attention to this place without a reason."
Don't be fooled by the frequent reports of miracles happening somewhere. It's not that easy for gods to bestow blessings. They and humans don't exist in the same material world. They can intervene in the world, but they can't overdo it. Don't worry too much about them!
Easter nodded. "Thank you for the explanation." Hearing this, he admitted he felt relieved, but remembering the devil's ambiguous words, he still felt that even bigger trouble was waiting for him.
Never mind, there's always a way out. He picked up the half-read magic book and continued reading. Despite being a dark magician's collection, it still contained some seemingly normal and interesting magic.
For example, the one he saw before was similar to an illusion, creating a false spatial scene to deceive people.
It doesn't seem entirely normal, but compared to all sorts of magic that only brings pain and torment, built from countless lives, and even ravages the soul, it's still somewhat better.
After all, the artificial spatial scene constructed by this magic depends on the caster's own will. If you create a beautiful sea of flowers, the magic is normal and harmless; but if you create something like a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, or demons to scare people, then it depends on the person's psychological quality.
Ister flipped through two magic books. He didn't know how powerful magic was, and he couldn't experiment with it. The only thing he didn't know about before was how many ways there were to torture people. He had never even imagined that they were all achieved through magic.
No wonder black magicians are universally hated on the continent. Most magicians aren't exactly morally upright to begin with, but compared to black magicians, they seem a little less bad. It's all thanks to the contrast with their peers.
Easter put down his book. No, he needed to slow down. The power itself wasn't wrong; the problem was the person using it.
"System, what time is it?" East rubbed his temples, his voice tinged with weariness. Having been in the basement for so long, he had lost all sense of time.
[At 4 PM,] the system replied, [Host, there's no one outside. You can go for a walk.]
Easter seemed to realize something and agreed.
