Chapter 318
Every aspect of the game's design was nearly flawless.
Although Jack's absence during the later stages of development led to a slight dip in quality, these minor flaws were not enough to tarnish the overall excellence of this meticulously crafted game.
All the glory now belonged to Drakengard Games' current CEO, Patrick.
Not only was he once again invited as a guest on Celestial Network's finance channel, but even Central Network extended an invitation to him. Patrick had undoubtedly become the new rising star in the country.
Riding the wave of the success of Legend of the East, Drakengard Games finally launched its IPO on the Growth Enterprise Market.
This news immediately sent shockwaves through the investment world.
Countless investment firms scrambled to conduct in-depth analysis, unanimously optimistic about Drakengard Games' future.
Experts believed that its collaboration with Pentime Group would create a massive market effect, with some even predicting that Drakengard Games' valuation could soar to hundreds of billions or even reach the trillion-dollar level.
Meanwhile, despite her own skyrocketing career, Feena couldn't ignore the news of Drakengard Games' upcoming IPO.
She simply couldn't ignore it-after all, Jack was once the major shareholder of this company.
Feena had worked relentlessly, all in the hopes that one day she could catch up to the young man she had once underestimated.
As her fantasy TV series became a nationwide sensation, Feena's name was now known to audiences everywhere.
Just when she thought she was finally closing the gap and could muster the courage to express her feelings to Jack, she was stunned to see him once again at the helm of Drakengard Games' overwhelming success.
She was happy for him-but at the same time, a faint sense of loss crept into her heart. This text is hosted at Find✶Novel.net
Would he ever stop moving forward? Was he really destined to become a legendary figure?
With mixed emotions, Feena called Jack to congratulate him on Drakengard Games' achievements-only to be shocked by his response.
Jack had already sold all of his shares in Drakengard Games.
Feena was stunned. She couldn't understand why Jack would walk away right before Drakengard Games reached its peak.
But Jack simply replied, "Sometimes, you have to make a choice. When paths diverge, there's no point in forcing alignment."
Although she didn't fully understand the conflicts between Jack and Drakengard Games, she couldn't help but feel regretful that he had given up the chance to become the controlling shareholder of a potential supercorporation.
But this was Jack's life-one filled with ups and downs.
Just like he had walked away from his identity as Soul years ago, he had now chosen to let go of Drakengard Games as well.
Yet beneath her disappointment, Feena also felt a hint of relief.
At least in the future, when she faced Jack, she wouldn't feel inferior. Maybe life didn't have to be filled with grand, earth-shattering achievements-perhaps a simple life was the best choice after all.
Even though Drakengard Games' success stung a little, Jack never regretted his decision.
Leaving Drakengard Games meant he had no part in its current glory, but his own company, Genesis Games, was now fully established.
His core team was assembled, and although the past six months had put some strain on his finances, he was relieved to see that the game he truly poured his heart into-Legend of the West-was almost complete.
This game was bigger, more ambitious, and demanded far more investment than Legend of the East. It was Jack's ultimate passion project.
In Legend of the West, players would be immersed in a massive, open-world fantasy universe, exploring breathtaking landscapes inspired by real-world locations, from towering mountain ranges to vast, uncharted oceans.
The game also featured mystical lands, extraordinary magical creatures, and bizarre, otherworldly beasts, all born from Jack's boundless imagination.
Even though it was just a game, it would transport players into a living, breathing alternate world-so immersive that it felt real.
