The World I Created is so Popular

Chapter 60: Warrior Zenith - 1

"I did it!"

"Yes, well done, Dua."

Albus placed Dua on his lap and gently stroked her head.

"Heehee!"

Dua rubbed her face against his hand, seeking more of his touch.

The sweet scent of milk wafted from her.

"Using divinity makes things like this possible," Albus murmured as he watched Akuyuham embrace Marie.

The fact that it was possible to recover the completely lost data of a world amazed him.

It was now clear to him why the divine power of gods was considered omnipotent.

Even as the GM of this world, he couldn't do anything beyond the capabilities of a game developer.

Creating something new or deleting someone was possible, but restoring data that had disappeared was impossible.

However, Dua's divinity made it possible.

The guide spoke up, "What would you like to do? Should we assign Player Akuyuham a role like we did with Player Leighton?"

It was a question of whether to capture Akuyuham and put him to work as a sub-GM, just as they had done with Leighton after the duel tournament.

"No, that's enough."

Though bringing someone like Akuyuham in might make things easier for Leighton, Albus thought it best to give him some time to savor the game's ending.

"There's nothing quite as thrilling as that moment."

Of course, only "for now."

"But more importantly," Albus opened the log screen of the Tower of the Labyrinth.

"How are the other players doing on the 7th floor? What's the participation rate?"

After confirming that everything worked correctly through Akuyuham's test, Albus officially launched the roguelike content.

"The percentage of currently connected players participating in the roguelike content on the 7th floor of the Tower of the Labyrinth is 24.31%."

"...24%?"

Despite the Tower of the Labyrinth's immense popularity for various reasons, it was still considered endgame content.

The majority of players were casual users who enjoyed wandering the world, with less than 10% attempting to conquer the Tower.

Yet, over 24% participation on the content's first day was an unexpected result.

"The effects of the duel tournament had a significant impact," the guide analyzed.

Albus nodded in understanding.

Many inhabitants of the continent had witnessed, either in person or through broadcasts, the battles of those who had gained tremendous power from Rudera.

These battles, fought with divine power or class abilities obtained within Rudera, seemed as grand as something out of a mythological age, making the onlookers believe they, too, could become such heroes.

This belief led to a high participation rate in the Tower of the Labyrinth, resulting in a gold rush of unprecedented scale and frenzy.

"I'm glad we held the duel tournament."

Though there had been a moment of panic when Perizet's soul was damaged, everything turned out well in the end.

Perizet fully recovered, Albus gained a capable subordinate in Leighton, and he obtained a substantial amount of divine power.
