All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 015
The voting ended while other players were gathering.
[Vote counting has been completed.]
[1st Wave: 3,832 people]
[2nd Wave: 6,424 people]
[3rd Wave: 1,171 people]
[4th Wave: 276 people]
[5th Wave: 19 people]
“Over ten thousand people participated. It seems like most of the viewers watching my stream joined… I wonder why.”
-Hahaha why don’t you know the reason.
-Ah haha can’t resist the new S5~
Since he offered a new car worth over 50 million won in cash as the correct answer reward, the participation rate was active, but Shin Hyeok pretended not to know.
The viewers were dumbfounded by his act, but that didn’t last long.
-But who are those 19 brave souls who bet on the 5th wave?
-For real, just making it to 3 waves in Silver gets you treated like a super rookie. Honestly, even 4 waves is insane.
-For real, is my brain completely pickled in dopamine?
-Reverse betting is right! Reverse betting is right! Reverse betting is right!
It was thanks to those 19 brave souls who bet on Shin Hyeok’s 5th wave success.
On average, players in the Bronze-Silver range cannot surpass the 2nd wave.
That’s why surpassing the 2nd wave earned recognition as a promising talent from guilds and the government.
But 5th wave success, not even 3rd or 4th wave?
-Honestly, even Robert probably couldn’t do the 5th wave when he was Silver, right?
-Robert, you mean that Robert from America?
-Yeah, that’s right, Robert Jason, the Ultimate Mage who’s currently the world’s number one player.
-If Robert couldn’t do it, then this is impossible
Even the viewers who had been drinking a bowl of patriotic fervor over Shin Hyeok, the long-awaited rising star of South Korea, couldn’t help but shake their heads.
Despite the viewers’ reactions, Shin Hyeok smiled at a familiar name while scanning the chat.
‘So Robert is the world’s #1 right now.’
Robert Jason.
Though he goes back and forth with Europe’s Rodrick for 2nd place, he’s called the world’s strongest because he’s held 1st place the longest.
Of course, after Shin Hyeok began to truly stand out, Robert became perpetual 2nd place.
For the regressed Shin Hyeok, hearing Robert’s name for the first time in years brought special feelings.
However, separate from such thoughts, Shin Hyeok drew his weapon.
“Just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t either. I’ll prove it with results. Let me make one prophecy. The nineteen of you who believed in me will absolutely not regret it.”
The holy sword emitted brilliant light, adding power to Shin Hyeok’s words.
The viewers were flustered by the appearance of a weapon that looked extraordinary at first glance.
-Wait, you didn’t mention having a weapon like this, teacher;;
-That’s cheating!
-But honestly, he’s the 3rd generation heir of Shinwha Group, so a weapon like that is natural, isn’t it.
-A unique grade weapon costs at least several billion won, you know?
-The chairman of Shinwha Group’s wealth is in the trillions, so what does that matter.
-If it’s not rude, please buy me just one melon bar.
Those who sensed something was wrong sent angry chats, but unfortunately their feelings didn’t reach Shin Hyeok.
[The game has started.]
“Let’s go.”
Because he turned off the chat as soon as the game started after all team members were matched.
Leaving behind the unheard clamor, Shin Hyeok faced his teammates.
* * *
“Wow, I never thought I’d get to play a game with a super rookie.”
“That sword looks really good. What grade is it?”
“Please take care of us!”
Shin Hyeok’s teammates were ordinary Silver-grade players.
They acted like fans of Shin Hyeok, having apparently seen his placement test or the news.
Shin Hyeok responded to their reactions with a gentle smile while quickly assessing his teammates.
‘One Warrior, one Mage, one Priest. The balance is perfect.’
Tank, DPS, Healer.
Basically, when this composition is complete, you can safely say you start most games with an advantage.
With the versatile Shin Hyeok added on top of that, it was a done deal.
“Well then, now that Shin Hyeok is here too, let’s prepare right away. Warrior, please hold your shield and stand in front of the door.”
“Yes.”
“Mage, let’s stand behind the Warrior together.”
“Understood.”
“Shin Hyeok, I saw during your placement test that you used various skills – where are you comfortable?”
The Priest, commonly called nobility, quickly arranged the Warrior and Mage positions before asking Shin Hyeok for his opinion.
Having watched Shin Hyeok’s placement test, they knew he was a player who could handle close, mid, and long-range combat.
Shin Hyeok replied casually.
“I’m fine going anywhere-“
[All the Apex of Evil has given you a Quest.]
No, he tried to reply casually.
That was before the Constellation, All the Apex of Evil, gave him a Quest.
Shin Hyeok couldn’t help but widen his eyes at the suddenly appearing Quest.
[Quest from All the Apex of Evil]
Condition: Defeat 1,000 enemies in the wave.
Reward: 5,000 Achievement points.
‘5,000 Achievement points for one Quest. That’s generous.’
He could gain 5,000 Achievement points with one Quest – points that ordinary Achievements couldn’t even dream of providing.
Having finished that thought, Shin Hyeok completely revised what he was about to say.
“I’ll go over there.”
“…That’s outside the Castle, though?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’ll block the wave by myself outside, so please protect the Castle.”
“No, that’s completely absurd…”
Shin Hyeok, who had been thinking of easily clearing the 5th wave, designated his position as outside the Castle.
The Priest looked at Shin Hyeok with an incredulous expression as he suddenly started doing something crazy.
Despite the Priest’s gaze as if looking at a madman, Shin Hyeok paid no mind and boldly stepped out of the castle gate.
[The wave has started.]
At the same time, the wave began.
* * *
-Keeeak!
-Keak!
“Kobolds, huh.”
The sub-race appearing in the 1st wave were Kobolds.
Kobolds resembled humans but were smaller in size and lower in intelligence, making it hard to call them a sub-race.
But the reason Kobolds were still called a sub-race was simple.
Swoosh! Thud!
“Arrows, huh. How annoying.”
It was because they could handle weapons.
Shin Hyeok, who dodged the arrows they shot with light steps, immediately began hunting.
Creak-
“Let me show you that you’re not the only ones who can shoot arrows.”
Shin Hyeok, who had prepared a bow as a secondary weapon, nocked an arrow to the bowstring and released it.
“Shin-hyeok Choi Style Chapter 4 – Consecutive Shots.”
Pipipipipipiping!
A single shot.
But the arrows fired were not just one.
At least five arrows that could be seen rushed toward the kobolds.
Peobeobeobeobuck!
The sharply honed arrowheads pierced through and dug into the kobolds’ bodies.
The eerie sound of fabric being pierced.
Of course, not all arrows hit the kobolds.
Two out of five shots missed the kobolds and stuck into the ground.
“Since my Comprehensive Weapon Arts is D-rank, the accuracy is a bit low.”
It couldn’t be helped.
No matter how much Shin Hyeok had memories from his previous life, he couldn’t prevent the low skill grade from holding him back.
But Shin Hyeok didn’t mind.
Sring-
“Anyway, the sword is my main weapon.”
Even an All Master would have a main weapon they specialized in.
Since it was definitely not the bow, Shin Hyeok smiled and plunged into the kobold horde.
* * *
A wolf among sheep.
That’s exactly what Shin Hyeok was like as he dove into the kobold horde.
Chajajajajajak!
Every time the holy sword scattered white light, a kobold’s head flew through the air.
After this was repeated several times, there were no kobolds left around Shin Hyeok.
[Wave 1 has ended.]
[Current enemies defeated: 132]
“Only around a hundred? I need to work harder.”
After checking the number of defeated enemies that appeared along with the message announcing the wave’s end, Shin Hyeok roughly wiped his blood-stained sword and returned to the castle.
“The castle is fine, right?”
“…No way, you survived out there?”
“Not many kobolds came here, right?”
“That’s true, but…”
“I think it’s because I killed 132 of them. Anyway, please take care of the next wave too.”
“Uh… yes…”
No matter how well you killed enemies, if the Guardian Stone located in the crumbling fortress was destroyed, the wave would be a defeat.
So after confirming that the Guardian Stone and his teammates were fine, Shin Hyeok went outside the castle again.
[Wave 2 begins.]
The second wave was waiting for Shin Hyeok.
* * *
-Wow, crazy;
-That’s supposed to be Silver?
-That’s really unbelievable.
This was the reaction of viewers who saw Shin Hyeok breaking through the wave with overwhelming force.
It was natural for them to react that way.
At the beginning, he used a bow for long-range harassment.
Then he immediately took up his sword and charged into the midst of dozens of enemies.
While minimizing damage and sometimes even picking up and using weapons the enemies had been wielding, Shin Hyeok’s prowess was far from ordinary.
-LOL the important thing is that the real one hasn’t even come out yet.
-For real, when I saw him during the placement test, his necromancy was insane. If he was that good right after awakening, I can’t imagine how good he is now.
But the viewers couldn’t hide their excitement knowing that Shin Hyeok’s real specialty, necromancy, hadn’t appeared yet.
It was similar to saving the most delicious food for last.
Of course, not everyone was just admiring.
-Only finished like 1 or 2 waves and already making such a big fuss tsk tsk
-Exactly. Don’t you know that defense themes really start from wave 3?
-So many defense noobs. This is why you shouldn’t watch low-tier broadcasts
These were the ones who could be called Shin Hyeok’s anti-fans.
They were desperately trying to diminish Shin Hyeok’s abilities somehow.
Eventually, just as the chat was turning into a battleground between haters and fans.
[Wave 3 has begun.]
-Chwiiiiiiik!
-Chwiiiiiiik!
-Chwik! Chwik! Chwiiiiiik!
Fierce snorting sounds echoed.
“…Ha, I’ve been waiting with my neck stretched out for when you’d appear.”
And Shin Hyeok knew very well who the owners of those snorting sounds were.
“Orcs. Perfect timing to meet these pig bastards.”
Orcs.
Beings who boasted heights and builds a head taller than adult men, with rough green skin that even possessed physical resistance.
Naturally, they were the ones with the largest population in the Homo Novus Empire.
And they were also the alien race that was present when Shin Hyeok was killed.
Seeing the orc before his eyes brought back memories of his death, and Shin Hyeok wore a cold smile on his lips.
“I’m going to get serious from now on. Tonight’s dinner is pork stir-fry.”
-No way?
-Is the big one coming?
-Is it really coming?
-Oh haha now that you’re here, let me tell you~
At Shin Hyeok’s cold smile and declaration of serious mode, the fight between fans and haters quieted down and was filled only with excitement.
“Rise.”
Deudeudeudeudeudeuk!
The corpses of kobolds and goblins that Shin Hyeok had killed during waves 1 and 2 began to rise.
