"Hello?" Asked Akio as she answered the phone.
"Is this Potter Hari?"
"No this is his kon'yakusha (fiancé), Rokuhara Akio…Can I help you?" Akio asked curiously, tension welling in the pit of her stomach.
"Gomen nasai, my congratulations to you both. My name is Hattori Hayate, I am from Shinochosha Publishing Co Ltd. I understand that your fiancé has been trying to get his book 'SAO: Two Years on the Edge' published and alongside it 'SAO: The Inside Accounts', which I understand are a collective group of peoples experiences inside of it."
Akio nodded "That's correct."
"We, Shinochosha Publishing Co Ltd are interested in purchasing the rights to those two books."
Akio nodded, as the door opened "Who is it?"
"Shinochosha Publishing, they want to purchase the rights to the books and potentially get a contract to get a set of 'Two Years on the Edge' books from everyone who talked about their experiences much like the 'Inside Accounts' book."
Harry nodded "Go just above what they would recommend. Either way we will win."
The contract was settled and Harry let out a sigh, it was like a weight had been lifted that he did not know that he had been carrying. The panel had finished and Harry adventured around, relatively incognito and signed a few autographs and didn't confirm or deny any queries about the game except that it was going to be amazing.
(Three months later)
The group ran through the final simulation at the point of time and Harry knowing the public everyone was going to wanting to play the full powered practitioner like the protagonist that the books were based off.
So what the group had decided was to slowly release the more powerful characters by unlocking them through different quests. However, because Harry did not desire the game to be hacked placed the 'Practitioner Class' in a unique line of code meaning that at any point in time upon unlocking the character, one could play a practioner but at the cost of resetting everything and starting again.
"They all have strengths and benefits. Everyone can a have magical talent but not everyone can be a full blown practitioner."
Kazuto nodded "That's going to annoy a lot of people."
Harry shrugged "People will play it Kaz…Trust me. The ones we're gonna win over are those who read the books, got the audio books…We go from there."
The Alpha Test ran relatively smoothly and they ironed out the major glitches such as casting spell and damage allocation lag and the potential one shot one kill.
Harry and his team nodded to each other, the game was done. It played well, now it was the beta test. It was decided that they would recruit twenty thousand beta testers and give them three months to experiment in the game.
Harry knocked on Kouichirou's door "Enter!"
"Harry, I trust you have some good news for us?"
Harry shrugged "Depends on whether the Alpha test works and now requires a twenty-thousand beta test."
"I'll put the notice out."
Harry shook his head "I'll do it…We'll give everyone a two week window for those interested to sign up and then we'll go from there."
For everyone watching Harry's youtube channel waiting on his weekly stream for his review on the Assassins Creed game that had just been released stopped whatever video they were watching and tuned onto the live stream.
"Hello, hello. To the perceptive ones of you have realised that this is not the Assassins Creed game as I foretold. As some of you attended the RECT. Event and you found out about the new ambitious project that we have embarked on which was known as Project Rednes. The real project is officially called Dresden Files Online…In two weeks twenty thousand lucky people will become our beta testers…The Assassins Creed will be up, once I've had a decent night's sleep."
With that Harry, signed off climbed into bed and fell asleep as his simple comment lit the internet alight.
