Chapter 868 Overcrowded Beginner Village No. 3!

[You Have Died]

[Game Over]

These blood-red words, accompanied by swirling pirate skulls, appeared on the shattered system interface, which darkened before Kaido and his followers.

The pain that attacked them was so intense it resembled the agony of death. It was so overwhelming that they couldn't even scream; they lacked the strength due to its sheer severity. Luckily, it only lasted for a brief moment—less than a second—before vanishing.

This happened because Rob noticed the fatal flaw at that exact moment and mitigated it, allowing Kaido and his companions to sigh in relief. Experiencing the pain of death was the worst agony they'd ever felt in their lives.

One could only imagine the pain of being turned into minced meat...

"Oops! What a terrible mistake... I forgot to adjust the pain settings in the game. Luckily, Kaido and his crew were the first to test it! This is truly a deadly error. Even though experiencing such pain isn't fatal, it would paralyze many innocent souls, and that's not something I want to see," Rob sighed as his tense brows relaxed.

He had always felt like he was forgetting something, which is why he organized the closed beta before the official launch. Only by personally testing the game could the hidden flaws from production be discovered.

The game's production was already complete. One Art Store had been sacrificed to create this game world. However, the completion of production didn't mean the game was flawless or that players could enter this world without precautions.

What happened to Kaido and his crew was the perfect example of this.

"The difficulty level of this game cannot be altered, but the pain scale can be adjusted to three levels..."

As Rob said this, his thoughts moved swiftly, and an absolute law swept through the game world:

• Acceptable Pain (Recommended)

• Moderately Painful (Not Recommended)

• Realistic Pain (Locked until Level 50)

These were the three pain levels Rob had set. From now on, players would need to choose between "Acceptable Pain" and "Moderately Painful." But the "Realistic" level would remain inaccessible because it could genuinely harm them. No one would want to experience true pain, especially at low levels, where the mortality rate was high. Experiencing the pain of death wasn't a joke. For this reason, at least until reaching Level 50, the realistic level would remain locked.

After resolving this error, Rob relaxed a bit. Now, he was genuinely benefiting from the closed beta.

As for the difficulty levels, Rob could adjust those too, but he chose not to. The game wasn't simple—this wasn't just a virtual world. If he allowed players to exploit the game with an easy mode, why would anyone want to play on the harder difficulties?

Thus, realistic difficulty was the only option. This game offered players the chance to grow stronger in reality, acquire wisdom, and master combat skills. Sometimes, they could even retrieve items from the game into the real world. Why would Rob allow them to gain all of this easily?

If they wanted benefits, they would need to fight for them. Rob merely provided the opportunity; they needed to figure out how to seize it themselves.

At that moment, Kaido and his crew's capsules opened, and they stepped out with grim expressions.

"Why is this damn game so hard!? We died that quickly!? How the hell did we even die!?" Kaido roared furiously.

"Actually, that was your fault, Kaido-san. You let go of your rope, and Morgan's statue crushed us into minced meat because the other Marines couldn't catch it in time," King responded calmly. Unlike his enraged captain, he wasn't angry at all—just a little disappointed. He had wanted to explore more of the game world but couldn't do anything now. They had lost, and that was an unchangeable fact.

"That pain I felt in that moment... It really felt like I was dying," Queen shuddered as he recalled the sensation that attacked his senses when the stone statue crushed him.

"Don't mention it! Don't mention it! I'm still trembling because of it!" Jack's response was the same. The rest of the Beast Pirates behind them nodded fearfully; it had been a harrowing experience.

"How was the experience? Did you enjoy the game?"

At that moment, Rob's voice echoed from the screen on the ceiling of the dark room.

Kaido, Queen, King, and Jack all looked at Rob's smiling face and couldn't help but feel a chill of terror toward this man with such divine methods.

The Art Store, his overwhelming power, and now the game world... These achievements could no longer be explained by Devil Fruit abilities alone. The mystery of Rhodes D. Rob had lingered in their minds for a long time, only deepening over time.

Now, they couldn't deduce anything, no matter how much they thought. Rob's combat strength wasn't as terrifying as the resources he possessed. The enigma surrounding him was like the fog covering their in-game map.

At that moment, his head turned oddly backward as he stood up. "I have to investigate their origins! I am the great Usopp! With my millions of pirate followers, why would I fear these people!?"

Though his head was turned backward, the scene appeared normal to the three children. They thought Usopp was showing off his bravery and had no idea that a glitch in the game had caused this strange phenomenon...
