"Commander, Civilization Front just released a new map!"
"Oh?" Klein had only just logged in when he heard the news, and his spirits immediately lifted.
Civilization Front was the second-highest-ranked core virtual world in the endless Virtual World network created by the Ghost Captain, with over 500 million concurrent users at its peak.
After virtual technology became widespread, traditional game developers established their own dedicated "game worlds," completing a spectacular transition from 2D and 3D to fully immersive experiences.

This was not only because it was the only Ghost Series virtual game, backed by the technology of Atlantis Corporation and the Ghost Captain, but also because of how "hardcore" it was.
From the actual combat effects of melee weapons and firearms to the combat parameters of Mecha and warships, everything met military training standards. Civilization Front closely mirrored reality, pushing realism to the absolute limit of current Ghost Series technology.
Even a regular military force like the Earth Defense Force had established a permanent presence in Civilization Front for virtual training. After receiving official VIP Certification, it had become the largest military force in the game!
