All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 109

After finishing the sparring match with the national representatives.

Shin Hyeok immediately turned on his broadcast.

As soon as the broadcast started, viewers came flooding in.

Having subscribed to Shin Hyeok’s broadcast channel, they found the stream on their own even though Shin Hyeok hadn’t posted any broadcast announcement.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of viewers accumulated, and after some more time passed, hundreds of thousands of viewers had settled into the broadcast.

When he thought enough viewers had gathered, Shin Hyeok showed his face on screen and greeted them.

“Nice to meet you. It’s been a while, everyone.”

-Shin hi!

-Meaning Shin Hyeok hi.

-Ugh, I was watching broadcasts daily recently, but not being able to watch for a few days almost killed me;;

-For real, my hands and feet were trembling and tears were flowing up and down…

-…What? Excuse me?

-Ah, that’s the average Dibeungi level. Very low.

-What are you going to do today.

-Since you haven’t done Dimension Arena after promoting to Diamond, maybe you’ll do that?

-Good~ Good~ Dimension Arena is good~

After his Diamond promotion, Shin Hyeok stopped the daily broadcasts he used to do.

Thanks to that, viewers couldn’t hide their disappointment.

When you suddenly can’t eat something you used to eat every day, it becomes even more missed.

The viewers who had been starving after losing Shin Hyeok’s broadcast as their side dish had been waiting only for this moment.

And Shin Hyeok brought them the special meal they would love most.

“This is the key to the Hidden Stage. It’s the item I got when I achieved the Achievement in the ravine last time.”

-…What?!

-Hidden…Stage…?

-Kyaaaah! Mom, clear the dinner table!!! This is today’s side dish!!!

-MomwhenIgrowupIwanttobecomeShin-hyeokChoiMomwhenIgrowupIwanttobecomeShin-hyeokChoi!!!

-AlmightyShin-hyeokChoipleasegiveususefulfoodtodayandletuseatourfillamen

-Hidden Stage will be very stressful

-Shin-hyeok Choi strong strong

-Hidden Stage is good exercise

-The Heavenly Realm people will be very nervous

That special meal was none other than the Hidden Stage.

If regular Dimension Arena was instant coffee, then Hidden Stage could be called the pinnacle of coffee, T.O.P.

After all, a Hidden Stage that no one had ever seen before was more interesting than regular Dimension Arena that could be seen on other players’ broadcasts.

Of course, Shin Hyeok’s regular Dimension Arena was more interesting than other players’ Hidden Stages.

But Shin Hyeok’s Hidden Stage!

It was a special meal and feast that was more than enough to make the Dibeungis’ bottoms wiggle and drool flow from their mouths.

Like a great chef, Shin Hyeok began explaining today’s upcoming feast.

“The Hidden Stage’s name is Ravine Underground Mine. The special point is that it can be used by Diamond rank and below.”

-Diamond and below? This is pretty tough;;

-Diamond and below is exactly the Host’s level, isn’t it?

-Hey, Oh-wang, the Three Emperors, and Hwang are all Diamond too. We just distinguish them as Heavenly Realm for convenience, but in the Dimension Arena system, they’re also Diamond tier;;

-Ah, then does that Hidden Stage’s level go up to that extent?

-It’s not 100%, but the fact that such a possibility exists is the problem

-Even the Host will have a hard time…

The viewers who heard Shin Hyeok’s explanation became serious.

A Hidden Stage that might make even Heavenly Realm-level players suffer hardships.

Especially since Hidden Stages were famous for being much more difficult, the prevailing opinion was that even Shin Hyeok would find it challenging.

-…Wow! Today’s broadcast will be substantial!

-You know something! Anyway, it’s the Host who’ll suffer!

-Right right, we just need to eat popcorn while watching the broadcast!

-Innkeeper! Bring alcohol! Strike up the music!

Therefore, the viewers danced with joy.

Honestly speaking, no matter how difficult the Hidden Stage was, it didn’t really hit home for them.

After all, it wasn’t them but Shin Hyeok who would be playing.

In other words, from a third-party perspective, a Hidden Stage that was difficult to clear was synonymous with a map that was incredibly fun to watch.

A win-win situation where Shin Hyeok was happy because he could become stronger through the Hidden Stage, and viewers were happy because they could watch a broadcast of conquering a Hidden Stage that was damn difficult and might even trouble the Heavenly Realm.

“Well then, let’s go right away.”

-So awesome~

-Amazing~

-Openthedooropenthedooropenthedoor

Having finished his explanation, Shin Hyeok immediately used the key without further ado.

Clink!

After pushing the key into thin air.

When he lightly turned it, the air distorted and Shin Hyeok was summoned to Dimension Arena.

It was the moment the conquest broadcast of Hidden Stage: Ravine Underground Mine began.

* * *

Flash!

Summoned with a bright flash of light, Shin Hyeok looked around and tilted his head.

“It’s the ravine. But there’s nothing here.”

-…Wow, we see this all the time, but it’s really eerie with no one around.

-For real;;;

-Obviously no players, but no minions or jungle mobs either.

-The towers are turned off too.

-Really looks like a scene from a horror movie.

The place where Shin Hyeok was summoned was the ravine.

But unlike usual, nothing existed there.

As befitting a Hidden Stage, players didn’t exist by default, but the minions, jungle mobs, unique monsters, towers, etc. that would normally fill the ravine.

Since everything was absent, only an eerie sensation heavily filled the surroundings.

After lightly looking around and confirming this, Shin Hyeok immediately started walking.

“There’s nothing in the ravine. If we look carefully, something might come out, but… that’s not our purpose, right? Let’s go straight outside the ravine.”

The empty ravine felt like a gateway to the Hidden Stage.

It was a perfect environment for something to be hidden, but since there was no need to waste energy before the Hidden Stage, Shin Hyeok gave up exploring and went outside the ravine.

Originally, the game: ravine was designed so you couldn’t leave, but not now.

Since the translucent barrier covering the ravine itself had disappeared, Shin Hyeok easily escaped outside the ravine.

“That looks like the mine entrance over there. Let’s go right away.”

Going outside the ravine, what he saw was a cave sitting alone on the desolate wasteland.

The cave with a tightly locked iron door looked alien at first glance, so Shin Hyeok quietly concealed his presence and approached the cave front, then confirmed the gatekeepers standing guard in front of the cave and frowned.

“…Dwarves.”

Because the gatekeepers’ identity was none other than dwarves.

At the appearance of dwarves, viewers couldn’t hide their surprise.

-Dwarves? Are they really dwarves?

-A race that only appears in fantasy novels is appearing here?

-They’re really short lol

-Like you?

-Take that back… those words…!

-But don’t dwarves make weapons and equipment well? Can’t we take them with us?

-Even after getting burned by the elf, you’re still like this. Forget taking them, we’ll be lucky if we don’t get attacked.

-Ah.

Unlike the already well-known elves, dwarves were a race that had never appeared even once before.

Moreover, the dwarves with their short stature, muscular build, and long beards exactly as they knew them to be were more than enough to excite the viewers.

Of course, with the excellent example of elves, the excitement soon died down.

When they first encountered elves, there were quite a few players who got excited and approached carelessly only to become porcupines, so the excitement over meeting dwarves didn’t last long.

“They’re strong.”

-Huh? Really?

-If the host says that much, they must be incredibly strong…

-Well, dwarves aren’t just a race that’s only good at hammering.

-How do you know that? Dwarves appeared for the first time today?

-Ugh, you shut-in! Stay home and read web novels! Browse some communities! Please live an internet life!

-Uh, um… okay.

Shin Hyeok added fuel to the quieted chat window.

Strong.

The evaluation from Shin Hyeok, who had already become unmatched among his peers, was more than enough to heat up the quieted chat window.

“Roughly Diamond 3-4 tier level. Ah, of course not Tarkan’s level. But true to dwarves, their equipment is good. Plus there are two of them.”

-Geez;;

-Diamond 3-4 tier players right at the entrance? With good equipment too?

-I’m confident I’ll get rejected at the entrance ㅇㅇ

-You too? Hey, me too.

-The difficulty really is brutal…

-So how do you beat those guys?

At Shin Hyeok’s explanation indicating they faced a major obstacle from the start, viewers anticipated how Shin Hyeok would break through this challenge.

But there was one thing they overlooked.

“The world isn’t about absolute evaluation, but relative evaluation. No matter how strong they are, they’re weaker than me.”

-Ah.

-Come to think of it, that’s right;; Those guys are weaker than the orc who was the Colosseum champion.

-But the host beat that orc when he was in Gold

-What’s the current tier of the host who beat a top Diamond level opponent back in Gold days?

-Diamond, right?

-Now, who’s the trash here?

The fact that just because they were strong didn’t mean they were stronger than Shin Hyeok.

The gatekeeper dwarves were certainly strong players.

If an ordinary(?) Diamond player other than Shin Hyeok had come here, they would have struggled even against the gatekeepers.

But that story didn’t apply to Shin Hyeok.

“Gigantification, Compression, Perfect Accuracy, Concentrated Fire, Clear Mind.”

Creak!

He used all five skills built into Admiral Chungmu’s bow taken from his inventory.

The great bow that had instantly grown huge was likewise instantly compressed to the level of an ordinary bow.

The moment three more unique skills were added to that.

Creak!

Shin Hyeok nocked two arrows on the bowstring.

It would be difficult during urgent combat, but right now was a non-combat situation without any interference.

Shin Hyeok’s eyes glowed blue as he nocked the arrows on the string and drew it back using the power of Comprehensive Weapon Arts[A].

“Observation Eye.”

A trait that could check the status window showing everything about the opponent and even observe the flow of energy they possessed.

It would be impossible if the gap was large, but since the dwarves before him weren’t at that level, Shin Hyeok could see right through them.

‘As expected, they don’t have detection or sensing type traits or skills. Nothing to worry about.’

Dwarves were a race of natural craftsmen and excellent warriors.

The weapons and equipment they made were sold throughout all dimensions, and the power of their equipment was well known across all dimensions.

But conversely, that meant their combat ability stats weren’t high.

Their small but solid muscles provided powerful explosive force, but they were weak in areas like magic or assassination.

The gatekeeper dwarves were no different, so they couldn’t even notice Shin Hyeok’s presence.

This was thanks to concealing his presence and energy through Assassination Manual[C].

Having completed all preparations without any interference, Shin Hyeok released the bowstring.

Whoooosh!

“What the…!”

“An intruder? How?!”

The two arrows shot the moment he released the string flew toward the gatekeeper dwarves so fast and powerfully that even Assassination Manual[C] could no longer conceal them.

Only then noticing the attack, the gatekeeper dwarves moved their bodies while being shocked.

This was proof they were excellent players.

Even if the mind was surprised or shocked, the body faithfully handled the response.

That was one of the qualifications of an excellent player.

“Earth’s Protection!”

“Iron Wall Fortress!”

Rumble!

The skills they manifested seeped into their bodies.

True to dwarves, they were earth or metal-type skills that increased defensive power.

‘I don’t know how they snuck in, but they won’t be able to pierce my defense.’

‘Just block those arrows and I’ll smash their head.’

They felt relieved that their skills were successfully used.

They trusted the skills that had faithfully done their part while they climbed to Diamond tier.

Though they noticed the attack late and could only use one skill each, they thought their defenses would successfully block the enemy’s attack.

Crack!

“…Huh?”

“…Aaaaagh!”

It was a mistake.

The defenses they erected were easily breached.

As if that wasn’t enough, the flying arrows penetrated straight through the gatekeeper dwarves’ chests.

Their chests were blown wide open.

These were wounds so severe that several Diamond-tier holy players would need to work together to barely heal them.

Naturally, there was no way they could receive such treatment.

The fear of death filled their eyes.

“Farewell.”

“Wait-“

Crash! Splat!

Shin Hyeok appeared before them using Ryeomapo and swung his Arcane Spear, smashing the gatekeeper dwarves’ heads.

Two strong fighters who could hold their own even in Diamond tier were instantly eliminated, but Shin Hyeok felt no particular emotion.

“Predation.”

Crunch!

[You have devoured a real life!]

[You have devoured the karma that seeped into the opponent’s soul.]

[The devoured karma will not disappear even if the opponent uses a death prevention token.]

[Stat: Strength increased by 18.]

[Stat: Stamina increased by 11.]

[Stat: Intelligence increased by 8.]

[Stat: Mana increased by 12.]

[Skill: Metallurgy[A] proficiency has increased.]

“…Huh?”

But the message that appeared afterward was more than enough to stimulate Shin Hyeok.

Real life.

The meaning of this was simple.

“These bastards are players from another dimension.”

The Gatekeeper Dwarf that Shin Hyeok had killed and the other beings that would be in the mine.

They weren’t beings created by the system, but real living, breathing beings like Tarkan.

The meaning of this was simple.

“Finally, I can get my revenge. Damn dwarf bastards.”

Revenge.

This was the moment when Shin Hyeok’s revenge against the players from another dimension who had ganged up on him and killed him before his regression would begin.
