“Gotta love the private loaners. They sure work fast if money is involved.”
Drrk, drrrk!
An Jaehyun fiddled with the dial on his watch. He checked his bank account and saw the 10 million won he borrowed. Then, he fiddled with the dial again before lifting his watch towards his mouth.
“Peach Store.”
Since the money was in, he knew where he had to go.
The Peach Store.
It controlled over 70% of the VR market, and contained the VR devices needed to access the virtual world. It was also where one could create his Warlord character. Peach Corp, of course, was in a partnership with Tobot Soft. Since Warlord’s launch, more than half of V-Gear buyers were looking to play Warlord. Since Warlord’s sales skyrocketed V-Gear sales, it was obvious that Peach Corp would give Warlord special treatment.
At the Peach Store, one could take care of everything needed to access Warlord.
‘Alright.’
After looking up its location, An Jaehyun placed a small earphone over his left ear.
-Navigation started.

When the household virtual reality device, V-Gear Level 1 Model, appeared for the first time, the world called it a revolution.
But it wasn’t a revolution for most people.
“Who the hell would buy a gaming console for 20 million won?”
It was truly revolutionary for VR devices worth several hundreds of millions to be reduced to 20 million, but the price was still exorbitant. Instead of trying to lower the cost, Peach Corp took a different approach in solving this problem.
You aren’t paying for a new toy, but a new era!
That was Peach Corp’s slogan, and Peach Corp took great effort in creating the Peach Store.
It was different from an ordinary store. Its peach-shaped building and its sleek and fancy walls were unique to the Peach Store. Its interior was even more astounding.
Inside the Peach Store, one had unlimited access to any V-Gear related content.
Enjoy as much as you want, then buy it! This was their motto.
This unlimited access applied for all 24 hours of the day. They were open 24/7, and Peach Stores allowed their customers to freely try out the V-Gear. There were some who made their Warlord characters and played exclusively inside the Peach Stores!
When An Jaehyun visited the Peach Store for the first time in quite a while, he naturally found himself looking around for any changes. He saw other customers seated on comfy chairs, wearing huge gloves and thick helmets slightly bigger than motorcycle helmets. They were obviously customers enjoying the VR world.
At this time, an employee walked up to An Jaehyun.
“Can I help you?”
At the employee’s pleasant smile, An Jaehyun immediately replied,
“I’m here to buy the Level 1 model V-Gear. I’m ready to form the contract, so lead the way.”
Because of An Jaehyun’s hasty reply, the employee thought he was the impatient type. The employee asked An Jaehyun a question according to his manual.
“Have you used a V-Gear before?”
An Jaehyun stopped to think.
‘Not at this point.’
