All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 099

Game: Ravine.

As a game type that appears from Gold rank and above, having been played for decades, its strategies had become somewhat standardized.

For example, top lane typically consists of bruisers, tanks, and mages.

A lane where reliable tanks like comfort food, bruisers who break through battle lines, and lastly players with magic powerful enough to shatter balance in one blow go.

Thanks to this, if you grow well or dominate the game with outstanding skill, you’re called a great general, and in the opposite case, you’re called a troublemaker.

Jungle was a lane where various types of players went.

Basically, since jungle involves growing and acquiring resources by hunting monsters that inhabit the jungle rather than enemy players, bruisers, tanks, mages, ranged dealers, etc.

Any player could go there.

However, since monsters are naturally stronger than regular players, it was a lane for those confident in their skills or confident in their game sense to fully utilize jungle characteristics to support each lane.

Mid was dominated by mages and assassins in a two-way split.

Since it’s located at the very center of the ravine, allowing entry to top, bottom, or jungle, you need to quickly eliminate minions and spread influence with that, so mages with fast minion clearing and assassins with natural movement speed were symbols of mid.

Next, ADC literally meant anyone could go as long as they could perform the role of a ranged dealer.

However, due to the nature of ranged dealers having weak defense and low health, extreme physical skills were required.

Lastly, support.

Support was largely divided into two categories.

Sub-tank and assistance.

The former supplemented the shortcomings of main tanks in places like top or jungle, while the latter took care of ADC or mid, etc.

Naturally, their treatment wasn’t good because of this.

The former was ultimately evaluated as being below the main tanks of top or jungle, and the latter was evaluated as just adding a spoon to what others did without doing anything themselves and only cleaning up messes.

‘That’s when one player changed the support meta.’

One player who finally exploded at such treatment of supports broke the taboo.

-Ultimately, supports are weak and lacking because they can’t consume resources. Then wouldn’t it be fine if supports also consumed resources?

Specifically, sharing minions that give gold as resources with the ADC.

In other words, attempting to share the meal.

He was called a heretic by countless players, had to hear about his parents’ well-being, and even enemies despised him.

But he proved himself with results.

‘It was the birth of the damage support.’

Damage support.

Literally a support that focused everything on damage, purchasing buffs and blessings related to damage amplification that top or mid mages typically buy, rather than the protection, enhancement, and speed-related buffs and blessings that supports normally purchase.

With that enhanced damage, they would eliminate enemies and rack up kills, using the gold earned from those kills to purchase more damage buffs and blessings in a virtuous cycle.

The core of damage support was ultimately achieving damage output that even overwhelmed top and mid players.

-Damn bastard… my minions… my kills…

Well, in that process, the ADC’s tears filled the ravine, but they won anyway.

The public’s reaction to this new mechanism that shook the entire world upon its appearance was naturally-

-What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Ugh, urk, ack, argh…

-I, I can’t, can’t breathe…

-Mr. Shin-hyeok Choi. Now we’re strangers. We don’t know each other at all. You understand, right?

-Host… we can’t shield this either…

-I can shield it though?

-Really?

-Damn!!! I came here to shield!!! You damn host bastard!!! I’m an ADC player!!!!

-Ah, ADC sensitivity exploding…

-But I don’t really care.

-Why?

-I don’t play ADC lol

-What kind of bastard?

It was an explosion.

Just as science was once considered magic in the past, and those who practiced science were called witches and put on burning stakes, viewers who witnessed the birth of the new concept called damage support burst into flames.

A spectacular fire show brilliant enough to write a paper on spontaneous combustion.

Of course, this was only the story when Shin Hyeok showed himself eating minions.

“Did that team fight? Their support is eating minions?”

“…Wait, crazy! That’s Shin-hyeok Choi!”

Oh, why is he coming this way!”

“He’s still level 1!”

“Stay! Stay, you bastard!”

After eliminating all the minions, Shin Hyeok charged straight at the enemy bottom lane.

Originally, level 1 is the weakest timing, so usually you don’t fight enemies and focus on individual farming.

In other words, you only focus on killing minions, but this didn’t apply to Shin Hyeok.

“The minions are even talking.”

Because the minions in bottom lane had already been completely eliminated by minion thresher Shin-hyeok Choi.

But it was fine.

There were still two more minions (not really) remaining.

Kwarung!

Shin Hyeok wrapped black lightning around both legs and deployed Ryeomapo, instantly charging toward the two players.

Since they were positioned forward to farm minions without much fighting at level 1, the distance wasn’t too far, so closing the gap wasn’t difficult.

Even while closing the distance with the two players, Shin Hyeok’s eyes quickly assessed the players.

‘Tank support, huh. Then I should target the ADC first.’

The enemy composition was a typical tank-ADC combination.

Occasionally, there were cases where they came to bottom with close-range bruiser and tank or mage and tank due to lack of ADC, but at least that wasn’t the case now.

Even for Shin Hyeok, instantly eliminating a tank-type player was difficult.

Of course, it was in the realm of ‘difficult’ rather than ‘impossible’, but the cost-benefit didn’t match.

Especially in a situation like now where there was tender meat called ADC right in front of him.

“Flash Strike.”

“…Kuk! Quick Evasion!”

Swaaaash!

Shin Hyeok’s shoulder was pulled back like a bow string and shot mercilessly toward the ADC.

Faced with the tip of the black Arcane Spear that approached right in front of him in an instant, the ADC tried to dodge with a pale face using his survival skill, but-

Kwaaaaaa!

“Kraaaak!”

Shin Hyeok was one step faster.

Flash Strike persistently chased the fleeing ADC to the end and pierced through him.

Actually, saying ‘pierced through’ was also inaccurate.

Shin Hyeok’s Flash Strike started from the ADC’s left shoulder and erased his entire left upper body.

Of course, thanks to the robust player physique and the characteristics of Game: Ravine, he didn’t die, but couldn’t prevent being removed from combat.

As the ADC, with part of his upper body blown away and his center of gravity twisted, desperately threw his body toward the turret that would protect him.

“Rise.”

“…!”

Thud thud thud thud thump!

Shin Hyeok immediately deployed necromancy to bind the fleeing ADC’s feet.

As pure white bone hands that emerged from the ground grabbed his ankles with no intention of letting go, the ADC desperately called for his teammate.

“Help! Help!”

“Damn it, I’m coming!”

But it wasn’t like his teammate had been standing still either.

The moment Shin Hyeok charged.

He had also immediately moved to stop Shin Hyeok.

The only problem was that Shin Hyeok wasn’t alone either.

“Sigh, why am I, an ADC…”

“Just get lost!”

“Why should I.”

Shin Hyeok had slurped up the minion and his mental state had collapsed, but the ally ADC was also a player who had climbed to Platinum.

He instinctively recognized the play he needed to make and moved accordingly.

He unleashed all his techniques and skills to interfere with and hold back the enemy support approaching Shin Hyeok.

Of course, true to being an ADC, he focused more on attacking than hindering the opponent, but that was enough.

The enemy support’s approach speed became significantly slower as he moved with evasive maneuvers, judging that if he completely ignored the ADC and went straight for him, he’d end up with holes all over his body like SpongeBob.

That was the enemy support’s mistaken judgment.

Thud!

[First Blood!]

“Ah.”

When he arrived at the ally ADC’s position, what he could see was the coldly cooling corpse of the ally ADC and the First Blood message announcing his death.

Of course, that wasn’t all there was.

“Since I ate the drumstick, I should eat the breast meat too.”

Having eaten the tender meat that was the ADC, Shin Hyeok was waiting for him, ready to consume the remaining dry chicken breast that was the support.

“I’m not the type to be picky with food. Well then, I’ll eat well.”

“…Ha, life.”

Shin Hyeok blocked the path toward the tower, which was practically an invincible zone in the early game, while the enemy ADC waited in the opposite direction.

The support, already slow-footed like a typical tank, had no way to escape, and the tank who knew this well sighed and hung his head.

Thud!

At the same time, Shin Hyeok’s Arcane Spear crushed the enemy support’s head.

[Double Kill!]

No matter how high his defense and basic health were as a tank, he had already taken some beating from the ADC and had no means to endure.

Especially since Shin Hyeok’s ability was beyond escaping Platinum, reaching the level of escaping Diamond.

Considering the abilities of the equipment he wore on top of that, a mere Platinum tank.

Moreover, it would have been stranger if a sub-tank who had been pushed out of top lane to support could withstand it.

“900 gold, huh. Not bad.”

400 gold per kill plus 100 gold as a double kill bonus.

Shin Hyeok, who had earned a total of 900 gold in an instant, didn’t hide his satisfaction.

On top of that, since he had killed every single minion without missing any, Shin Hyeok’s current gold was approximately 1,000 gold.

Considering the game had just started, it was a sufficiently large amount.

‘I can buy a buff right away.’

In Game: Ravine, what mattered was the player’s ability, but things that could narrow that gap could be purchased with gold.

Items purchasable with gold were in an upgrade format of Buff – Blessing – Divine Favor in that order.

Buffs were the most basic, providing modest stat increases, damage boosts, and improvements to defense and magic resistance.

But starting from Blessings, things began to change slightly.

Along with amplification of the basic effects of the previously mentioned buffs, skills that had meaningful impact on combat, hunting, support, and enhancement were attached.

Even such Blessings couldn’t compare to Divine Favors that could only be bought in the mid-to-late game.

They actually granted characteristics.

Well, since only buffs could be bought with a mere 1,000 gold, it wasn’t particularly important right now.

Most importantly, purchases were only possible when returning to the Well.

What Shin Hyeok needed to do now was decided.

Thwack-

“ADC-nim, please attack quickly. Money’s coming in.”

“Ah, seriously please. I don’t want to meet the Shinwha Legal Team.”

Killing the enemy minions that had come to the lane again after the double kill.

-Ahhhhh!!!!! F!!!!! uck!!!!!

-Thanks. Because of you, my low blood pressure got cured and now I’m being rushed to the ER with high blood pressure.

[Achievement: I can manipulate viewers’ emotions consecutively! Achieved]

[Achievement Points: 100,000 acquired.]

‘Sweet.’

Additionally, making the viewers angry again after they had briefly regained their sanity from the thrill of the previous battle.

Shin Hyeok thoroughly demonstrated that just as comedy is repetition, so is aggro.
