Chapter 30: Hunter’s World (2)

I am a mod of the Virtual Reality Game Gallery.

I’m writing this because there seem to be a lot of newbies trying to get into Hunter’s World these days.

First of all, as you all know, Hunter’s World is undeniably a masterpiece that has never fallen below the number one spot in VR room game share for five years since its release.

The genre is a mixed game that includes fighting games and the AOS genre.

No, it’s a less mixed game.

The reason why it’s a less mixed is because this game is divided into 1v1 mode and 4v4 mode.

The 4v4 mode, commonly called Conquest, is well organized in this link, so read it yourself.

What I’m going to explain in this post today is hunter selection, tutorial, and the highlight of Hunter’s World, the 1v1 mode.

There is a thing called class in Hunter’s World.

[Swordsman] [Spearman] [Assassin] [Archer] [Mage] [Barbarian] There are six classes.

If you select the [Swordsman] class, a hunter who uses swords such as longswords, sabers, and rapiers.

If you select the [Spearman] class, a hunter who uses spears such as short spears, long spears, and lances, etc.

A hunter who uses weapons and skills according to the selected class. In other words, you can choose the character you will play.

There are about 50 different hunters, so just choose what you find fun and appealing.

But f*ck.

[Barbarian] <—— If you choose this guy, I’ll really kill you.

As you all know, there is correction in VR.

You have to actually move your body in virtual reality, but have ordinary people like us ever swung a sword or a spear?

Therefore, VR games provide a correction effect that connects to accurate movements even if you move moderately.

And if you select the [Barbarian] class, you get much better physical abilities than other classes, and you can use most melee weapons.

So they’re called by the class name, without any particular role distinction according to the weapon.

Uh? What? Isn’t it too overpowered to be able to use all weapons?

If you thought that, you’ve already fallen into the trap.

[Barbarian] <—— This guy’s basic correction effect is really fcking sht.

What’s the point of being able to handle most weapons and having higher basic physical abilities than other classes.

If you can’t handle those weapons properly and can’t move your body properly.

What? You’re a hunter? You know how to swing a sword and a spear? So you want to use a Barbarian?

Then you’ll think differently after watching this.

[Video of S-rank Hunter Kim Dasol preaching for an hour that Barbarian is a sh*t class]

The above video is a video of Kim Dasol, an ‘S-rank’ hunter called a gaming hunter, begging hunters below A-rank to please not even touch the Barbarian.

The Barbarian shows high potential on the premise that it is handled properly, but the level of ‘handling it properly’ must be ridiculously high.

And the second reason why [Barbarian] is a sh*t class.

This guy can’t use skills.

Considering how much influence skills have on victory or defeat, this is a huge penalty that is fatal enough to half-kill the Barbarian itself.

There are many characters in Hunter’s World that are much easier and have better performance than the Barbarian class.

Even professional Hunter’s World players, and even some high-ranking hunters, can’t handle the Barbarian properly.

If you reaaaaally want to play the romantic-only Barbarian, take a picture of your back holding a huge greatsword at a spot where you can take pictures of the sunset.

After taking one picture, all the Barbarian hype will disappear.

After selecting a hunter to play, set the customization and correction.

Do whatever you want with customization, and set the correction to the maximum of 100 if possible.

Real hunters who enjoy Hunter’s World for image training lower the correction to about 50, but I don’t know because I’m an ordinary person.

When you finish setting the correction, the tutorial comes out, but there’s nothing special.

An AI that teaches the combat mechanics of Hunter’s World appears, and newbies just need to learn the combat mechanics and die to the AI.

You can retry it later anyway, and the tutorial AI is something that inexperienced newbies can’t even touch the tip of its toes. Just give up.

When you finish, your clear time comes out according to your world record.

This sometimes appears while waiting for matching, and it’s annoying if your rank is low.

So there’s also tutorial time attack as content for real hardcore players, but that’s not something newbies who are reading this post need to worry about.

From now on, I’ll explain the long-awaited 1v1 mode, commonly called the fighting game mode.

Choose a hunter to play on a dedicated 1v1 map, and have a soul battle with the matched opponent.

The victory condition is simple. Fight for your life for a limited time of 3 minutes and reduce the opponent’s health bar to 0.

If your health is higher than your opponent’s, you win.

But for the fighting game mode, be sure to increase the hunter’s proficiency with the AI bot and match the tier rank in Conquest before challenging.

The 1v1 matching system is a bit messed up, so sometimes it matches regardless of tier.

There are quite a few newbies who don’t know anything and start matching from the beginning, get beaten up for 3 minutes, get mounted, and have their health bar drained and quit the game…

There are many pros and cons, but there is no game as fun, has as many fans, and is as high quality as Hunter’s World.

Be sure to try it out. And have fun.

When I selected the Barbarian class, the appearance customization window appeared.

Without much thought, I set the male Barbarian to the default preset.

If I had to give meaning to this action, it would be simply because I am a man.

The appearance of a male Barbarian… Of course, he should start with his top off.

I took off my clothes without thinking.

[Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the Act on the Prevention of S*xual Violence in Virtual Reality. Excessive exposure of male characters is prohibited. Violators will be punished with imprisonment for up to 2 years or a fine of up to 10 million won.]

… Huh?

A red warning window suddenly appeared.

I rubbed my eyes because I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it, and looked at the warning window again.

[Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the Act on the Prevention of S*xual Violence in Virtual Reality. Excessive exposure of male characters is prohibited. Violators will be punished with imprisonment for up to 2 years or a fine of up to 10 million won.]

“It’s really f*cked up.”

Women of the gender-reversed world. What kind of fight have you been fighting…?

Is this the power of the gender-reversed.ver Korean Meminist…?

But I’m not the one to lose to just that.

I boldly took off the Barbarian’s top.

“I never give up.”

[The Korean server of Hunter’s World has blocked Han Suhyeon’s virtual reality account.]

I didn’t give up.

But my account was defeated.

To be banned from my account just for trying to take off a male character’s top.

F*cking Korean Meminist, I shouted, and I headed to the foreign server.

But even in the free country of the USA, it was impossible to take off the male character’s top.

The compromise was to put a bikini on the man’s torso.

It was too disgusting, so I got rid of the male character and chose a female Barbarian.

Fiery red hair, nicely tanned skin, a solid muscular body and wide hips, a large chest.

And a chest covering that makes you wonder if it’s bikini armor or underwear that barely covers it.

“This is the right female Barbarian.”

But when I set the customization, it seemed to resemble Yeom Haneul.

Of course, Yeom Haneul’s skin is pale, and Yeom Haneul’s face and body are much better in reality.

But the overall feeling of the muscles was similar to Yeom Haneul’s.

Was it influenced by the fact that the most ideal muscles I’ve seen are Yeom Haneul’s muscles?

But is this really a chest? Does it feel real?

I touched the chest with a little hope, but I couldn’t feel any particular sensation.

It was a little disappointing.

After deciding on the customization, I set the name.

[Do you really want to set your nickname to Dr Pepper?]

“Yes!”

As soon as I set the nickname, a blue information window appeared, and a heavy greatsword fell from the sky and stuck in the ground.

[Correction Test]
[Hunter’s World provides a correction system for the player’s convenience and a more enjoyable experience.]
[0~100]
[Tip! We recommend a correction value of 100 for more perfect movement and skill linking.]

Correction?

Ah, ordinary people in modern times are far from this kind of battle.

I set the correction to 100 and swung the greatsword.

The first sensation I felt was that the greatsword was quite light.

Perhaps because I chose the Barbarian class, my physical abilities were higher than those of my real body.

Of course, my real body hasn’t even properly trained mana muscle… At the current level, the Barbarian’s body was much stronger.

Besides, when I think about it, the Cutie♡Angel I’ve been wielding so far was quite heavy even to be called a greatsword.

How can the weight of a greatsword be 28 kilos… cough cough…

By the way, can I use this?

I’ve only ever used Cutie♡Angel as a greatsword.

I’ve switched and swung various other weapons, but I’ve only swung Cutie♡Angel as a greatsword.

My 10 years of pure love are about to be broken.

Is this adultery…

The second feeling I felt was an unpleasant sensation as if someone was controlling my body.

No, should I say the sensation of my body being pulled by an unknown force?

I don’t know, but with this much correction, I’m sure even an ordinary person who holds a sword for the first time can fight without difficulty.

But it didn’t apply to me.

It would be cleaner if I swung it myself, and if I felt such an unpleasant sensation throughout the battle, I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on the battle properly.

Therefore, I set the correction value to 0.

[Do you really want to set the correction value to 0?]
[Warning! If the correction value is set to 0, you will not be able to receive the correction effect!]

I said it’s better not to receive it.

[You have set the correction value to 0.]

When I set the correction to 0, the surroundings were covered with holograms and began to be reconstructed.

[The tutorial begins.]

Before I knew it, the surrounding scenery had changed to a cyberpunk city training ground.

I was looking around because it was amazing, when suddenly something the size of a person was falling towards me from the sky.

The guy was designed like a war machine modeled after a person, which you would only see in a science fiction movie.

Then suddenly the enemy’s movement slowed down very much, and the field of vision narrowed, and a notification window appeared.

[Take a big step back and dodge the tutorial AI’s rush!]
[Warning! The current correction value is 0! If you do not take perfect action, it is impossible to recognize! Reset the correction value to experience more accurate movement!]

Ah, f*ck. This keeps getting in the way.

It even narrows the field of vision during battle, which is quite annoying.

‘How can I block it?’

[Do you want to skip the combat mechanics tutorial?]

Yes. Please get rid of it quickly.

At the same time as the notification window disappeared, time began to move at its original flow again.

The movement of the tutorial AI, which was stopped in the air, also returned to normal and began to accelerate again.

I’m accurately recognizing the guy’s movement.

But I stood still and waited for the time.

I couldn’t do this if it were real.

The real body is weaker than the virtual reality body, and above all, I’m using a rapier as my main weapon now.

But the story is different now.

Greatsword. Greatsword. Greatsword.

The weapon that I swung like crazy for 10 years was different from the rapier in terms of the feeling of gripping.

I suppressed the instinct to hold the greatsword in a fighting stance and rush at it.

If I rush right now, I won’t be able to do anything.

I have to tear off the prey’s life in one blow.

I waited for the time like a hunter aiming for a beast.

After a short wait, the guy reached right above my head.

Now.

I kicked off the ground.

Not backwards, but forwards.

I poured all the athletic ability of my body into a single step.

I accelerated explosively and somehow took the guy’s back.

The tutorial AI, startled by the unexpected speed, turned around and tried to block the greatsword.

But when the guy realized it, the greatsword had already split the guy’s torso.

The teeth of the hungry beast bit the guy.

Crack crack crack!

It fell from the air at high speed, but the guy, whose upper and lower bodies were separated by the greatsword, couldn’t even land properly and rolled on the floor.

I landed lightly in the air and looked back at the miserably broken guy.

[Tutorial AI. Health: 0]
