“How do you do that?”
– It’s a sandbox game, and it’s almost over. Come in, check out the buildings people have made, say hi, and just hang out.
Sandbox games are all the rage these days.
Sandbox games offer a slightly different framework compared to other genre games.
While games so far have had clear genres like real-time strategy, bullet hell, or FPS, sandbox games blur those lines.
In short, it’s not easy to define what a sandbox game is.
There are various types of sandbox games, but their common feature is high freedom.
Instead of playing within set rules, users create their own rules and build structures.
If RPGs are combat role-playing games that adults can enjoy, sandbox games are like dollhouses for adults.
It’s a game where you assign yourself a job and situation, and enjoy role-playing.
“But do you need an invitation to play?”
– Pretty much. If too many people join, there can be ping issues and troublemakers.
“Ah, I see. Then invite me. I’ll give it a try.”
– Sure. Don’t feel pressured, just say hi and leave if you want. I’ll send the rest via chat.
“Okay.”
As soon as I hung up, information started pouring into the voice chat.
Looks like they were prepared.
“They even sent the game.”
[⚔️This looks fun]
[⚔️It would’ve been more fun if we started together from the beginning]
“I was busy with school and stuff.”
[⚔️True lol]
Clicking the link sent me straight to the game download page.
While chatting with viewers, the game downloaded quickly.
“Eun-A sent the IP, so I just need to connect. It’s been a while since I manually entered a LAN address.”
[⚔️Lol, the good old Battle LAN]
[⚔️You should hide the address and room password from us]
[⚔️Be careful of trolls]
“Got it. I’ll hide it.”
Following the viewers’ advice, I entered the address and password, hiding them.
Then the loading screen appeared.
The map must be pretty big because it took a while.
“Done.”
After logging in, I looked around but only saw myself.
[⚔️The host is playing a sandbox game]
[⚔️Lol, no regrets even if I die]
[⚔️The host’s life is a sandbox, it’s fine lol]
“Is there no tutorial?”
A game with square faces, square bodies, and square everything.
The ground is square, the mountains and trees are square.
Even the grass is made of large square pixels.
It’s hard to say the graphics are great compared to modern games.
But the charm of sandbox games isn’t about graphics.
It’s about teamwork, coordination, and the chemistry that comes from high freedom.
For a crew that just likes to chat, sandbox games provide a great playground.
[⚔️There’s an explanation near the host]
“Where?”
I moved the mouse and saw what the viewer mentioned.
Signs were hanging around the map.

───
There’s also a bunch of other info about the server written down.
“What’s this sponsorship link?”
[⚔️When viewers sponsor, the room master gets in-game currency]
[⚔️This is it, man]
“So it’s just a viewer extortion system?”
[⚔️No, we’re playing together now, so chill out, you crazy person lol]
[⚔️LMAO]
“Whatever, I’m like that too. People who do live streams are all just living off viewer affection.”
[⚔️If you’re already feeling like hitting the emergency alarm, I’ll give you a thumbs up]
[⚔️It’s fine]
[⚔️It’s fine]
[⚔️LOL]
If you get 1,000 won in sponsorship, you get one coin.
I guess it’s a system where you use that to buy something.
[⚔️It’s called the Galaxy Server because Eun-A made it]
[⚔️Once you’re done reading, talk to the NPC at the entrance to set your nickname, then you can go to the village. Use WASD to move]
The viewers keep feeding me information.
Like swallows.
“Like this?”
I changed my nickname.
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
Then, the background instantly changed.
“Whoa.”
If the previous place was for the tutorial, this must be where the real people are.
[⚔️They developed this from a wasteland to here]
[⚔️Wow, this is beyond a pioneer village level]
As the viewers said, the village is beautifully decorated, to the point where you’d never think it was once a wasteland.
Unique buildings line the streets everywhere.
It seems like they intentionally set the starting point on a hill. Thanks to that, the amazing scenery is visible at a glance.
“Wow, it’s really pretty.”
[⚔️It’s really pretty, they must’ve worked hard]
[⚔️For real, it’s pretty]
[⚔️Good thing the room master came late]
“Why me?”
[⚔️You don’t exactly seem to have an aesthetic sense]
[⚔️LOL]
[⚔️Just keep breathing, it’s art]
“Aesthetic… hmm.”
I’m at a loss for words.
I’m good at calculus, but aesthetic sense? No idea.
“If I can’t do it, I’ll just enjoy what others have done. Quack!”
[⚔️LOL, it’s cute how you can’t respond]
[⚔️Quack quack]
As I go down the slope, a spectacular view unfolds.
There’s a house made like a jack-o’-lantern, and one that looks like it’s made of candy.
The most interesting thing is that as I get closer, I hear a bustling noise.
Players are gathered along the streets, chatting like real villagers.
I guess this is the fun part of sandbox games.
While I was busy looking around the village,
[Ding!]
[Red Parade sponsored 1,000,000 won]
[LOL]
A shattering sound is heard, and the screen turns pitch black.
Crack!
[☆Han Ga-eul sponsored 1,000,000 won]
“Instant death with a 1 million won sponsorship!]
“What the.”
The screen brightened again, revealing my character arriving at the designated starting point on the hill.
Meanwhile, in-game chat messages started pouring in.
[☆Kim Chok-Chok: Congrats congrats congrats]
[☆Kang Kku-Ne: Congrats congrats congrats]
[☆Bori: Wow, it’s Lady Autumn]
[☆Radelly: -_-]
[☆Kkinkkang Kkinkkang: Oh, it’s really her]
“Is this because of the earlier link? It says ‘instant death’.”
[⚔️YYY]
[⚔️Is that how you do it?]
[⚔️A game where viewers can enjoy together]
“Oh, this is really cool. Thanks for the sponsorship, Chulbong.”
***
[☆Lady Han Ga-eul has sponsored 1 million won for instant death!]
“Huh? Looks like Autumn is here.”
Eun-A, who was mining underground, saw the game message pop up and immediately used a town return scroll.
[Wow, it’s Lady Autumn]
[She really came]
[Long time no see, Lady Autumn]
Upon arriving in the village, Eun-A witnessed a strange scene.
About 20 people were quietly following someone, trying not to make a sound.
[☆Kang Kku-Ne: The newbie keeps hitting on me]
As Eun-A joined them to figure out what was going on, a beautiful voice flowed from the front.
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
“Do I have to dig the ground with a pickaxe? Where do I get a pickaxe?”
[☆Bori: Lady Autumn is so funny lol]
[☆Eun-A: For real lol]
Every time the character spoke, the nickname above her head sparkled, showing that she was using the voice feature.
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
“Wow! Guys, look at that windmill house. It’s so, so pretty. Who built it?”
One of the people secretly following her started shaking their character as if having a seizure, repeatedly sitting down and standing up.
Above that character’s head was also a nickname.
⦇Bori⦈
“···!!”
[Lololol]
[Bori’s building]
[She’s so happy to be complimented lol]
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
“Is that an eyesore? Who built it? It’s almost at my level. No, I could probably do better.”
[☆Radelly: -_-]
⦇Eun-A⦈
“Haha!”
Seeing Radelly’s chat, Eun-A finally burst out laughing.
Only then did Han Ga-eul turn around.
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
“Ah! What the. Who are you?”
⦇Eun-A⦈
“Hi, Autumn.”
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
“Eun-A. Wait, where did all these people come from?”
⦇Bori⦈
“Well, you kept hitting on them, didn’t you?”
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
“Huh?”
⦇Bori⦈
“Wow, listen to that voice. My eardrums are melting.”
⦇Kkinkkang Kkinkkang⦈
“Hello, Lady Autumn!”
Han Ga-eul was overwhelmed by the sudden flood of greetings.
⦇The Mother⦈
“She’s a celebrity!”
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
“No, I’m just chubby.”
⦇Eun-A⦈
“Han Ga-eul, sing us a song!”
The chaotic crowd started chanting in unison at Eun-A’s words.
“Sing for us!”
“Sing for us!”
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
“I need to get a pickaxe and build a house though…”
“Sing for us!”
“Sing for us!”
⦇Han Ga-eul⦈
“Um…”
“Shall we play a song?”
⦇Eun-A⦈
“Eek!”
A breathtakingly beautiful singing voice began to slowly spread throughout the Milky Way Village.

“Jo Seung-tae.”
“Yes, Chief.”
Journalist Jo Seung-tae, who works at Yangjin Daily, approached his boss.
“You did well.”
“…Yes?”
The boss, who seemed to have gathered all the stubborn old-timers in the world, gently patted Jo Seung-tae on the shoulder.
Jo Seung-tae was just bewildered by the boss’s unusual behavior.
“Achae University is notoriously strict about journalist access due to frequent incidents, but how on earth did you manage to get an exclusive interview with Han Ga-eul?”
“Ah, I have a bit of a connection with Han Ga-eul.”
“Hahaha. Well done, well done. You’re our ace, after all.”
Jo Seung-tae could understand the boss’s reaction.
The journalist’s nemesis.
The ultimate crazy woman.
The counter to journalists.
Han Ga-eul was someone who fit all these descriptions.
Every journalist who had loitered near Han Ga-eul’s house had met with a terrible fate.
“Do well this time too. You’ve just come back from a trip with a Siberian tiger. The news department is going crazy requesting materials from us for the news.”
“I’ll do my best. And you have to approve the article I wrote about Serenade. Otherwise, Ga-eul won’t agree either.”
“Of course, of course. I’ll give you full authority on that matter. And while you’re at it, try interviewing those people who are into method acting or whatever.”
“Me?”

[What’s going on in the enclosure?]
An accident occurred at the zoo around 8 a.m.
Tiger keeper Mr. A entered the enclosure and shouted, “Don’t bite!” at the tiger (General), who was just standing there, and ended up getting bitten.
<Smile Daily News, Park Gyu-min>
(문**) : LOL, almost Gyu-min level (meaning trash level)
└(정**) : Mr. Moon, this guy is practically a ghost haunting internet news.
└(박**) : Why do you always pick on Gyu-min? Did you bite the keeper too?
└(진**) : If he bit you, it’d be a dog bite incident.
