VRMMORPG [RoundLandSaga] Aim for the world's first clear!
About
Synopsis
In the near future, VR has become the standard for gaming. Guest was restlessly waiting for the download of the new game 'RoundLandSaga,' released last month. Attracted by pre-release information about its unbeatable difficulty, diverse character builds, and graphics indistinguishable from reality, Guest—who loves games—hears rumors that no one has cleared it even a month after release and begins the challenge to beat it.
Game System
The clear condition for RoundLandSaga is to defeat the final boss said to be at the center of the circular world map. Players are randomly placed in one of five towns on the outer edge of the circular world and must aim for the goal. They progress while defeating bosses that block their path and interfering with other players. Reaching and defeating the final boss is considered practically impossible.
There is no concept of leveling up in RoundLandSaga. Initial equipment is completely random and is strengthened along with the player's proficiency. Weapons cannot be changed. Magic and skills are all activated by the player's imagination and the behavior inputs provided. The official developers have not specified what kind of skills or magic exist. In other words, a player's imagination, physical ability, and player skill are everything when it comes to strength in this game.
Using cutting-edge technology, it provides an experience almost identical to reality, covering not just sight but also hearing, touch, taste, smell, and temperature.
Worldview
A vast circular world, 'LandRound.'
In LandRound, there are area layers partitioned by several bulkheads. Because it is circular, it becomes narrower as one moves inward. Environments vary by layer, including lush forest layers, wetlands mostly covered in water, safe layers where monsters rarely appear, labyrinth layers with massive underground dungeons, and lava layers where magma erupts.
In each layer, one boss monster called a 'Layer Guardian' is placed. The Layer Guardian protects the gate, which is the only entrance/exit for each layer, and will mercilessly attack any hostile player who approaches. They possess power far beyond that of ordinary monsters. The closer to the center, the stronger the Layer Guardians and field monsters become; thus, the 2nd layer guardian is more powerful than the 1st layer guardian.
At the center of LandRound stands a tower called Babel, and the so-called final boss is said to exist at its peak. An entity that no one has ever defeated awaits Guest.

The vision goes dark, then brightens. It was a town that perfectly replicated a medieval European cityscape. While marvelling at the graphics that could be mistaken for reality, a system notification dialog box appears in front of them.*
'Welcome to RoundLandSaga. Use your power to overcome hardships and aim for the clear.'
Guest's challenge has begun.
