A vast sandy desert located in the west of Arcadia's 2nd continent.

This place, full of bubbling sand, was so threatening that even the NPCs shook their heads.

“Are you going to enter Shurim? Hee hee... Do you have multiple lives?”

“If you cross that desert, what will you find? Well... I don't know because I haven't seen anyone come in and out again in the 35 years I've lived...?”

Even in the village located near the endless sand desert, it is a place where you shake your head and never enter. Some of the users who were curious about the existence of such a place bravely entered the desert, but the result was disastrous.

- Shiibal. I thought there would be an oasis if I walked around moderately, but there's nothing like that, it's just sand. In the end, I wandered and wandered and thirsty.

-lol. That's why you have to play it moderately.

-The level of the monsters appearing there seems to be quite high, right? Basically, you should have taken level 100 or higher before going?

-I'm level 100, but this much is not enough. Run in droves of these goddamn scorpions.

- Rather than that, how do you find a way to do this? If you go in once and come out again, it's just a no-brainer, right?

Users who have already taken it once and tried to taste it, but were severely beaten by the extreme spicy taste. Many users were curious about this desert, but it was strangely difficult to find information about it.

- It's not like they made such a big desert for no reason and left it alone. There must be something...

-I don't think there's anything related to it, so don't you think there should be a village or an oasis in there so that you can get around alive? It's just wild, to the point where it's really unbelievable.

- First of all, isn't it possible that the development has not been completed yet? You can make a rough desert and add something new with a patch later.

There were many people who looked at the desert with suspicious eyes, wondering if it might be the place where the rice cakes of some large quest are hidden, but that doesn't mean that there was no additional known information about Shurim, and there were no elements to attract people's attention, so they gradually turned their attention to it. It only went down.

“It must have been blocked by the game company for a separate patch later.”

“Will I find out someday?”

Even if it wasn't Shurim, there were many places to explore and explore, so even the adventurous players scattered to other areas one by one. The Great Desert Shurim was proudly selected as one of the five forbidden regions along with four other similar districts. But there were two new visitors who set foot in this terrifying desert.

“Ugh... But why the hell did Dex-hyung come here?”

While accompanying us all the way to this place, we became quite casually familiar with Chinese food. He talked about this and that with Jaeyoung, and after realizing that it was Dex who saved him, he began to show great kindness and respect.

“There are people here who can teach you the skills you need.”

“yes? A skill...?”

dwarf. They are also called the dwarf clan.

Similar to the settings of other general fantasy worlds, he had a reputation for liking to make all sorts of objects using his natural dexterity.

It is said that the last time they traded with humans was hundreds of years ago, but looking at the fact that the items they made were still being traded at astronomical amounts, their manufacturing skills and reputation were undeniably excellent.

“Aren’t you misunderstanding something...?”

An endless sea of sand. Seeing the barren desert where not even a single blade of grass could be found, let alone traces of civilization, Jung-sik looked at Jae-young with suspicious eyes.

“So... where do we go from here?”

“yes....?”

Jaeyoung mumbles to himself as if he doesn't even know. Jungshik asked him as if he was absurd and replied, but Tan and El were fighting fiercely by flying next to Jungshik and Tan.

“Hey, you devil! If I'm going to tell you, I'll tell you exactly. Does it make sense to come all the way here and say you don't know the location?”

L hits Tan hard with the palm of her hand, just like her mother hitting her back with a smash. And at the taste of her hand, Tan ran around and shouted as if it was unfair.

“Oh really....! Exactly, I don't know! I said I only knew the location, did I say I knew how to meet you?”

“I bet this bastard isn’t a fucking bat! Is this a pun that only humans can eat in front of anyone? Do you really want to fuck me?”

“Aww! master! What to do with that crazy bitch!”

Tan didn't say a word until he arrived at this desert, but once he arrived, Tan said he didn't even know the exact location. L, who was outraged by the irresponsibility, was running wild, but Jaeyoung, as usual, just calmly enjoyed the chase between the two.

By the way, the taste of El's hand as she slapped Tan's back was unusually spicy. Every time her hand touched Tan's back, a clear, crisp sound could be heard from the depths of her heart.

“Um... Dex hyung? is this really right? Are you sure you misunderstood something?”

Joong-sik looked at the desert with a suspicious expression, feeling anxious that he would not be able to dig a bone if he went in, but Jae-young nodded and said,

“Once here, I’m sure. However, it seems that a little research is needed, but .....”

A vast desert. This endless land full of sand is a place where many adventurers who are looking for something here and there give up early and turn around. Jung-sik looked at him with an uneasy expression, wondering if he was worried that he would wander in the desert without anything for a long time, but Jae-young's face was just calm.

“Don't worry too much. Everything will work out.”

Jae-young slowly moves into the unknown desert, and Jung-sik begins to follow him with an uneasy expression. In such a desert, as if to welcome their visit, incomprehensible clattering sounds and screams of anger and pain mingled resounding.

“Aww! Stop beating me, you fucking chicken!”

Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd.

Even while they were dying to solve and deal with various incidents that popped up every day, the employees were simultaneously preparing for future events and proceeding with future plans step by step.

“We will start a mid-term inspection briefing on the scenario ‘tribal war' to be promoted in the second half of next year.”

The scenario still has one more year left until release. However, since the scale of the scenario is larger than ever, the quest planning team and development team were preparing for this scenario with life and death under the direction of Director Kang Tae-hoon.

“The basic concept of this scenario is the duality of choice. The forces of two different races, elves and dwarves, appear, and users can only support one side between these two races. And each strives for the prosperity of their chosen faction, and through competitions and disputes between them, users will be able to enjoy Arcadia in a more interesting and colorful story.”

The appearance of elves and dwarves.

While the scenarios for their appearance were being prepared one by one, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked while looking at the thick report on her desk.

“Can I choose only one of these two races?”

“The affinity level set between those two races is -999. It is the level of enemies who cannot live under the same sky. It's not impossible to say you'll support those two camps... but if you do, you'll be branded as a traitor like a bat and ostracized by both camps.”

At the presenter's words, President Lee Mi-yeon asked, raising her eyebrows as if wondering.

“Um... why the hell was it planned so badly?”

“Oh, this part was not developed by us. That was the initial setup from the beginning. So, we also thought of other scenarios at first, but because the relationship was so hostile, we planned various conflict situations such as local wars with the element of war as the center.”

initial setup.

From the time the head office entrusted the development rights for the area in charge of Arcadia, the relationship between them has already been made that way. That's why CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded as if she had no complaints.

“okay. So... are there any anticipated unexpected situations that could occur before the release of the scenario?”

“There are no issues of particular concern so far.”

A presenter who asserts that there is no such problem. However, President Lee Mi-yeon asked him once again as if he did not believe it.

“Is there really not? Looking at recent situations, it seems that there are too many unintended unexpected situations. I’m honestly concerned that if I’m too complacent, there will be unresolvable problems again.”

Starting from the destruction of the beginner village due to the slime crisis, to the madness of the saint empire and the bamboo spear war, which gave users a ridiculous and absurd opener item.

“That.... If there is one concern, it is the situation in which users find their secluded residence by chance... but there is no problem so far because we have thoroughly prepared countermeasures in that area.”

“A roadblock?”

There are five golden regions that exist in Arcadia.

Shurim, a great desert full of endless sand and hellish heat.

All kinds of dangerous creatures popping out of the dense jungle and the Great Forest Amyl full of them.

Dragonia is the domain of monsters and a shelter for dragons.

A local iceberg where everything is frozen by the bone-chilling chill.

Finally, the Caribbean, a sea of criminals infested with pirates of all kinds.

These five prohibited areas, but not all, were filled with the breath of the Arcadia development team, as some users speculated in some areas.

“Shrim, where the dwarves are hiding, has dried up all the oases, making it impossible for users to access their activity areas in any way, and we have concentrated on dealing with difficult and powerful monsters. The same goes for Amil, the territory of the elves.”

The developer's trick was to set the access itself to be almost impossible due to the extremely strong monsters and difficult terrain. But even so, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered something suspicious.

“Hmm... that sounds to me like it’s not completely impossible for them to be exposed?”

“That's true... but unless you know they exist and deliberately seek them out, most users will soon give up or die from the monsters. In fact, in the past, there were a few users who intensively investigated, suspecting that there was something in these two places, but seeing that they eventually failed and gave up and turned around, I don’t think you need to worry too much about that part.”

Scenario with one more year left. It was enough time for unexpected variables to arise, so President Lee Mi-yeon could not erase the anxiety rising in her heart despite the presenter's confident remarks.

And that moment when they are having an in-depth discussion about the development of the scenario and its ripple effect.

In Arcadia, the two of them were making their way deep into the Great Desert, Shrim, through a raging sandstorm.

An underground city built by the Dwarves.

Toward the Sand of Forge.
