[You have received a message from the administrator].
The moment I completely conquered the game, the first message window I saw appeared.
Does the administration ever send messages directly to you?
It's a solo-player game, but the strategy ranking is aggregated in real time to create the player ranking.
As such, I'm connected to the Internet, and I can receive messages.
Do I get some kind of reward?
Maybe a slot in an upcoming beta test for the games sequal?
My curiosity piqued, so I clicked on the message window.
Then, successive messages appeared on the screen.
[The game's administration appreciates your strategy.]
[Challenge for glory. This is a favour given only to you, the number one ranked player].
[When you are ready to challenge for glory, the first step is to earn Perks. Perks can be obtained through exploration from the beginning MAP].
Don't tell me there's actually going to be a sequel.
I conquered the game completely.
I started as the main character in a rural town in a chaotic war-torn era, became a king, eventually and emperor and achieved the unification of the world.
I'm not going to play the game again unless there is a sequel story, because I don't find much enjoyment in playing a second time, but I was a little attracted to the word "perk".
When you say it so clearly, it seems like there is a hidden plot.
Where's the beginning MAP?
My curiosity exploded.
This was not going to be easy to figure out.
So I looked around for the perks.
But no matter how many times I searched the game's MAP, I couldn't find any perks.
Is this a prank by the administration?
That's all I could think of when I got this far.
I entered the developer's website from my computer.
There was a contact form, so I sent an email asking about the meaning of the message that appeared.
I looked at the clock, thinking that if it was a prank, I would give them a good scolding.
The message from the administration had taken away my sense of accomplishment in conquering the game, and I felt exhausted.
It was already 4:00 in the morning.
There was no time for them to reply to my inquiry.
At least not until later in the day, the one I just got was probably a system-generated one that was sent the minute someone did what I managed to pull off.
I yawned spontaneously and had no choice but to turn off the game.
No, I tried to turn it off.
At that moment, my consciousness suddenly faded.
My surroundings turned dark, and I was struck by a terrible dizziness.
