All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 042

 

Shin-hyeok Choi.

 

This name had actually spread beyond South Korea to become known throughout the world.

 

It was only natural.

 

Even setting aside the Shinwha Group that served as Shin Hyeok’s background, just looking at the achievements Shin Hyeok had currently accomplished, he was more than worthy of attention from world-class guilds and organizations.

 

First, placing first in the placement exam.

 

Up to this point, it was relatively ordinary.

 

But the achievements that followed were on a different level.

 

Not only did he reach Silver 1 within a month after the placement exam, but he also participated in the Integrated Silver League promotion tournament.

 

Going one step further, he even won the Integrated Silver League promotion tournament.

 

From this point on, it was a predetermined course for renowned guilds around the world to start showing interest in Shin Hyeok.

 

Of course, no matter what proposals they offered, there was no reason for Shin Hyeok, the third-generation chaebol heir of Shinwha Group, to belong to them.

 

World-class guilds and organizations didn’t particularly try to recruit such a Shin Hyeok either.

 

However, that was the story before Shin Hyeok achieved his 10-win streak.

 

[10-Win Streak in the Colosseum Born in Korea]

 

[The Emergence of a New Iwhang Samjeo Owang-Level Player!]

 

[How Did Korea Become a Player Powerhouse?]

 

[The Player Who Makes China Cling to His Coattails, Japan Tremble with Anxiety, and America Slap Their Foreheads: Shin-hyeok Choi]

 

First, the Korean media went into an uproar.

 

Shin Hyeok, who was already called a new rising star, had detonated a bomb.

 

No, he had detonated a nuclear bomb, so the excited media wrote articles without even being paid.

 

With articles going up like crazy, the communities also burst into flames.

 

[From now on, I withdraw my support for Shin-hyeok Choi.]

 

Starting today, I step away from a supportive relationship

 

Shin-hyeok Choi and I become one unified body

 

Any attack on Shin-hyeok Choi will be considered an attack on me

 

If there are 7 billion Shin-hyeok Choi fans in the world, I would be one of them.

 

If there are 100 million Shin-hyeok Choi fans in the world, I would also be one of them.

 

If there are 10 million Shin-hyeok Choi fans in the world, I would still be one of them.

 

If there are 100 Shin-hyeok Choi fans in the world, I would still be one of them.

 

If there is one Shin-hyeok Choi fan in the world, that person would probably be me.

 

If there isn’t a single Shin-hyeok Choi fan in the world, then I would finally not exist in this world.

 

Shin-hyeok Choi, my love.

 

Shin-hyeok Choi, my light.

 

Shin-hyeok Choi, my darkness.

 

Shin-hyeok Choi, my life.

 

Shin-hyeok Choi, my joy.

 

Shin-hyeok Choi, my sorrow.

 

Shin-hyeok Choi, my peace.

 

Shin-hyeok Choi, my soul.

 

Shin-hyeok Choi, me.

 

└This guy seems really crazy;;

 

└But honestly, it is impressive. A 10-win streak.

 

└Even Korea’s Twin Kings couldn’t achieve that.

 

└Don’t compare him to the Twin Kings. How dare you

 

└? Honestly, it’s worth comparing. Shin-hyeok Choi is definitely enough to-

 

└No, don’t compare King Shin Hyeok, God Shin Hyeok with the likes of the Twin Emperors

 

└Ah.

 

Community posts and comments plastered with stories about Shin Hyeok.

 

Posts that added fuel to the fire were also uploaded.

 

[Sharing the story of getting an S5 while watching the broadcast.]

 

<Photo>

 

This is the S5 I received.

 

It was fully loaded and Shinhwa even paid the taxes, so I literally got it for free lol

 

Honestly, I didn’t think they’d really give it, but one day I got a call and it was in front of my house;;

 

Anyway, if you watch our streamer’s broadcast, you get a car

 

└Crazy, so jealous

 

└A new S5 fully loaded costs several thousand easily, and they just give it away for free;;

 

└Shin-hyeok Choi should shower Plbung-i (Player board users’ nickname) with hamburgers!

 

The fuel was a verification post proving that he had perfectly kept the promise he had jokingly made during his broadcast.

 

It instantly received hundreds of upvotes, rising to the very top of the board, and favorable feelings toward Shin-hyeok Choi skyrocketed.

 

Young, handsome, capable, and even generous with others without being stingy.

 

Especially since Korea, despite having two of the Five Kings, couldn’t enter the ranks of player powerhouses, everyone naturally cheered for the emergence of new talent.

 

Of course, where there are fans, there are also haters.

 

[That guy is just…]

 

Honestly, isn’t he just a golden spoon who was born with good parents?

 

If I was born as a 3rd generation chaebol heir like Choi Shin-hyuk and ate elixirs three times a day while getting tutored by Platinum or Diamond players, I’d probably be able to do that well too lol

 

As is typical of the internet world, posts criticizing Shin Hyeok also existed.

 

These were users commonly called malicious haters.

 

Posts that absolutely couldn’t be written by anyone who knew even a little about Shin Hyeok.

 

But there was no particular problem.

 

-This person has passed away…

 

└Why?

 

└Do you think Shinhwa’s legal team is a joke? lol

 

└Those are all false statements anyway, so it’s perfect for getting sued legally

 

└Hey! It’s! False! State! Ments!

 

└Why can’t I?

 

└Argh argh argh!!!

 

Because getting hit once by Shinwha’s legal team’s iron hammer would cave in your head.

 

Eventually, whether they were malicious haters or legitimate critics, they disappeared one by one as they got hit by the iron hammer and saw their posts deleted, causing trolls and malicious post writers to vanish.

 

Thus, the normalization of the community was achieved, and the miracle of community posts becoming clean occurred.

 

[Community normalization is thanks to God God Hyeok]

 

Wow, gods really are different. The name has two “god” characters in it ㄷㄷ

 

└A god exists in Korea, and he was born in Shinwha Group.

 

└Shin Shin-hyeok lol so freaking funny lol

 

└If two out of three letters in his name are ‘god’, should we just call him God God God?

 

└The god of normalization, God God God!

 

While they were happily laughing and chatting over the delicious meat that was Shin Hyeok, big shots around the world also began to learn about Shin Hyeok.

 

The United States, Japan, Russia, Europe, etc.

 

It was no different in those places counted as player powerhouses.

 

However, there was a place that showed interest in Shin Hyeok in a different way from them.

 

* * *

 

“Shin-hyeok Choi? Should we really pay attention to news from some mere latecomer from a small country?”

 

“He achieved a 10-win streak in the Colosseum.”

 

“…What nonsense! That’s not a game made to be beaten! Even the great Flame Emperor and Martial Emperor were defeated when challenging for a 9-win streak, let alone 10!”

 

“But it’s the truth. It was broadcast live, so the entire world knows of his success.”

 

“Hmm…”

 

China, Trinity Party’s guild master’s office.

 

In that place larger than most penthouses, the man who received the report stroked his chin and swallowed his contemplation.

 

Another guild master of Trinity Party who had come to his office to receive the report together spoke up.

 

“Geom Je. There’s no need to think long about it. Just do what we’ve always done.”

 

“What we’ve always done means….”

 

“Such talent is too great for a small country to contain. As always, we just need to propose defection and naturalization to bring him over.”

 

“Mu Je. The opponent is the third-generation heir of a massive corporation called one of Korea’s twin pillars. No matter how big an offer our government makes, it’s uncertain whether he’ll accept it.”

 

Geom Je and Mu Je.

 

They were China’s proudest strongest warriors and the Sword and Arms Dual Emperors.

 

They were beings called the Dual Emperors for short.

 

They were having a discussion about Shin Hyeok.

 

However, as Mu Je, Feng Yuan said, making Shin Hyeok defect or naturalize would be difficult due to his status, so Geom Je, Namgung Hyeon shook his head.

 

To that, Feng Yuan laid out his thoughts.

 

“From what I roughly looked into, that guy was half-abandoned by his family before becoming an adult. That is, until before the placement exam. Along with his own family members. Given that, he might harbor great resentment toward Shinwha Group.”

 

“However, after that guy’s placement exam, Shinwha Group changed their attitude and has been providing full support without sparing anything. Considering that, I think there’s a high possibility our proposal will be rejected.”

 

They bring up the parts each investigated and debate the chances of success for this proposal.

 

And as Namgung Hyeon said, the situation where Shin Hyeok would accept Trinity Party’s.

 

Furthermore, China’s proposal wasn’t very likely.

 

But even so, Feng Yuan let out a snickering laugh.

 

“Then we’ll just do what we’ve always done. Pluck them out completely.”

 

“…The risk is great.”

 

“Then what should we do? Are you planning to leave him alone until he grows up? That guy’s talent is real. He will definitely stand shoulder to shoulder with us someday.”

 

“Ahem….”

 

Pluck them out completely.

 

At those words, Namgung Hyeon showed discomfort and let out a cough, and Feng Yuan sneered at him.

 

“Don’t put on that pathetic hypocrisy, Namgung Hyeon. How many players from around the world have been kidnapped by our hands and forced to defect and naturalize? This job isn’t much different from what we’ve done so far.”

 

“…Phew, understood. Let’s do it that way.”

 

“Good, let’s send an envoy to make the proposal to that guy along with Salmak.”

 

“You’re planning to use Salmak too?”

 

“If we’re going to do it, we need to do it thoroughly. That guy is a player at the level of escaping Gold. To deal with such a guy, shouldn’t we also get quite serious?”

 

“…Understood. Do as you wish.”

 

“That’s right. You can pretend to be noble. I’ll handle the dirty work.”

 

Mocking Namgung Hyeon’s duplicity, Feng Yuan rose from his seat and before leaving Namgung Hyeon’s office.

 

Namgung Hyeon stopped Feng Yuan.

 

“Who from Salmak are you planning to send?”

 

“I’d like to send the Salmak leader if possible, but that would probably be difficult. I think we’ll send a branch leader level.”

 

“That’s sufficient.”

 

A branch leader level player from Salmak.

 

Only those with talent that could be counted on one hand even among Diamond players could sit in that position.

 

In name and reality, they were the second most capable after Salmak’s leader.

 

After hearing that, Namgung Hyeon nodded briefly.

 

“I’ll add personnel.”

 

“Why?”

 

“I heard an excellent blacksmith appeared in Korea. They say he belongs to Shinwha Workshop.”

 

“Korea again, Shinwha again?”

 

“What’s important is the blacksmith. When we go this time, I want to bring that person along too. That person would be suitable for making my new sword.”

 

“Your love for swords is still the same. Understood. Then I’ll send two branch leader level ones.”

 

“Understood.”

 

Seeing Namgung Hyeon reveal his greed for Korea’s blacksmith, Feng Yuan clicked his tongue briefly, nodded, and left the office as is.

 

Shin Hyeok and Sejin.

 

It was the moment when the snare that started in China began tightening around these two people.

 

Of course, Shin Hyeok, who had no way of knowing this, headed to Sejin’s workshop with the rewards from his 10 consecutive victories.
