Chapter 109

 

Crackle!

 

Sharp lightning flashes settle in Hae-rang’s two eyes.

 

When the Heavenly Demon Divine Art reaches the Third Achievement, a phenomenon different from previous stages occurs.

 

As if the lightning of heaven has been contained within his eyes.

 

Sparks are added to his unique tinnitus.

 

“Haha.”

 

A bright voice flows from Hae-rang’s mouth.

 

How long has it been since he felt this sense of liberation?

 

Each time Hae-rang regained his past powers one by one, he felt a thrill.

 

Along with that, he renewed his resolve once again.

 

‘I need to make a lot of money.’

 

Only then can he buy a Private Capsule.

 

Only then can he use the Heavenly Demon Divine Art freely without restrictions.

 

Only then can he receive praise from more people.

 

Thwang!

 

Hae-rang began using the Third Achievement Heavenly Demon Divine Art in earnest.

 

The Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step revealed itself at his feet.

 

‘The moon has no shadow. Those who have mastered the Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step will be the same.’

 

His movements are so fast that even the sun dare not create a shadow.

 

Thus was born the name, Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step.

 

There was no way Hae-rang’s Divine Movement Technique could be caught in the Polar Bear’s sight.

 

“Let me check first.”

 

Before he knew it, Hae-rang had infiltrated behind the Polar Bear.

 

He attacked the Polar Bear’s back using his fist, elbow, and knee.

 

Thud! Thump!

 

The Polar Bear staggered with its massive body and stumbled back several steps.

 

A definite change from when he had struck its side before.

 

When he deployed the Heavenly Demon Divine Art to its maximum, it seemed That Guy had also taken damage.

 

Even just this much would have left the viewers utterly shocked.

 

Where in the world would you find a PUBG user engaging in bare-handed combat against a polar bear?

 

But Hae-rang was not satisfied.

 

“As expected, there are limits to using fists. What should I do?”

 

Hae-rang briefly recalled the past.

 

Soon his fingers made a snap! sound.

 

“Right. Let’s do it like when I defeated the Ten-Foot Giant Bear.”

 

Hae-rang raised one finger.

 

And he wiggled it in front of the Polar Bear.

 

Come at me if you dare.

 

It was a performance filled with blatant Taunt.

 

“Grroooar!”

 

Could Taunt be detected even across different species?

 

The Polar Bear exhaled rough breaths and charged across the Snow Field.

 

The white snow spraying up seemed to frantically urge him to dodge.

 

But Hae-rang had no intention of dodging.

 

Crackle!

 

In his blue eyes sparking with electricity, every movement of the bear came into view.

 

A distance where he could reach if he extended his hand.

 

The bear raised one arm high.

 

Its thick arm, as large as a tree trunk, came crashing down as if to crush Hae-rang’s head.

 

Flash!

 

Hae-rang sharply ducked his upper body.

 

The bear’s front paw grazed past a few strands of Hae-rang’s hair.

 

Whoosh!

 

After dodging the front paw, That Guy’s side was completely exposed.

 

Just moments ago, he had landed a Straight Punch there.

 

Since he had opened his Third Achievement, he should be able to deal more damage than before.

 

But instead of extending his hand, Hae-rang dove deeper inside.

 

Grab!

 

Beyond just digging into the side, Hae-rang approached the polar bear’s rear flank.

 

Hae-rang lightly jumped and stretched out both hands.

 

Then he wrapped both arms around the bear’s neck and gripped tight.

 

Squeeze.

 

“Grwaaah!”

 

The panicked polar bear reared up its body greatly.

 

An opponent clinging to its back and choking its neck.

 

It was a composition that reminded him of UFC fighters who once dominated their era.

 

Buzz buzz buzz.

 

It seemed like the sound of cicadas could be heard from somewhere.

 

Even an adult would have difficulty handling this kind of position.

 

You need to stretch your arms behind your head to shake it off, but there’s a huge difference from the usual range of motion of the arms.

 

‘Moreover, there’s no way a bear that crawls on four legs could deal with this.’

 

The ‘how to fight a bear’ that’s used like a meme on the internet.

 

Hae-rang’s strategy was remarkably similar to that process.

 

In normal cases, this would naturally be impossible.

 

Because an ordinary human’s physical abilities and strength couldn’t pull off such movements.

 

But what about the Heavenly Demon who unified Murim in his previous life?

 

The Heavenly Demon Divine Art he used could create ‘superhuman’ movements.

 

“Grwaaaang!”

 

The panicked emotion was fully revealed in the polar bear’s voice.

 

From those rough movements, Hae-rang nearly flew off into the air several times.

 

But he never let go of his grip with both hands.

 

Release or lock tight.

 

The outcome of this confrontation would be decided here.

 

Squeeeze!

 

The movements of the polar bear that had been thrashing its body fiercely gradually became loose.

 

The breathing that had been rough enough to spray saliva everywhere slowly grew faint.

 

The stiffly raised fur became soft at some point.

 

It meant that guy’s consciousness was fading.

 

Thud!

 

With a loud crash, the Polar Bear slammed face-first into the Ground.

 

Only then did Hae-rang release his arms and roll once across the Snow Field.

 

With only 10% health remaining, he had to be careful even when falling off the bear.

 

As a result, a beautiful ending was created, complete with an elegant Breakfall.

 

【Performance Time ended!】

 

【Mission Clear! You have defeated the Snow Field’s Polar Bear!】

 

“Phew.”

 

Hae-rang placed both arms on his hands and took a deep breath.

 

Then he smiled slightly.

 

“The Machine really is good.”

 

Even after unleashing the Heavenly Demon Divine Art like this, he felt no heat.

 

With an ordinary Machine, it would have been blazing hot like being in a furnace by now.

 

Hae-rang standing before the fallen white bear.

 

It was a dignified and magnificent sight, just like when he had defeated the monsters of the Snow Field in the past.

 

* * *

 

A middle-aged man with a cleanly bald head and a protruding belly.

 

Jo Ho-jin, the Business Planning Team director at Kraft, continuously wiped sweat with his Handkerchief.

 

This never happened during his sharp player days.

 

Now even a little heat made sweat pour out like a flood.

 

“I really should lose some weight.”

 

After grumbling briefly, Jo Ho-jin stared at the screen.

 

Hae-rang’s Performance time was about to start soon.

 

“Let’s see. Still, quite a lot of people came.”

 

His gaze moved to the Smartphone in his Hand.

 

The screen was playing the official Survival Ground YouTube video.

 

A live Broadcast commemorating Hae-rang’s ambassador selection.

 

The live Viewers count was about two thousand.

 

“Was it Shin Chang-seop? More people came than when he screwed up before.”

 

It was unexpected, if anything.

 

A year and a half had passed since the great disaster occurred.

 

There were even rumors going around that they would no longer select ambassadors.

 

The high viewer count seemed to be for that reason.

 

Of course, this didn’t mean all these people were being supportive.

 

-What? They’re selecting an ambassador again?

 

-You got burned so badly last time lol

 

-Don’t those Kraft guys ever learn?

 

-This time they must have picked someone from Singularity, right?

 

Especially noticeable were the chats mocking and remembering the previous event.

 

‘Persistent bastards. They never forget when someone gets humiliated and always bite back.’

 

The problem came next.

 

The viewers who confirmed the ambassador’s identity simply couldn’t accept it.

 

-Huh? Challenger? Challenger?

 

-And it’s Challenger V too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ looks like they rushed to get promoted tonight

 

-Forget Singularity, they’re not even Conqueror? Is Kraft insane?

 

-What the hell are you thinking? lol There were a lot of kids in Singularity who weren’t ambassadors

 

-At this point, don’t you have a humiliation fetish or something lol

 

Crack.

 

A vein bulges on Manager Jo’s forehead.

 

But this wasn’t an unexpected reaction.

 

Manager Jo’s selection of Hae-rang as ambassador.

 

That wasn’t in the realm of reason but rather ‘intuition’.

 

The instinct of ‘Pro Gamer Jo Ho-jin’ who once made a name for himself.

 

‘The face of a competitor. I could see that in That Guy.’

 

Eyes flashing even while falling from the sky.

 

Not hesitating to walk a tightrope when barely any health remained.

 

Using extraordinary strategies that others couldn’t think of.

 

This was the behavior shown by those called ‘competitors’ even among pro gamers.

 

‘Anyway, it’s true that it’s a gamble. I can only hope my intuition isn’t wrong.’

 

Manager Jo takes out a new handkerchief and wipes his forehead.

 

One fortunate thing was that some favorable public opinion had emerged as Gwanjong Cheonma took the platform.

 

-Oh what’s this? He’s handsome?

 

-Is that a man or woman? Wearing a suit so must be a man right?

 

-Now I see it was chosen based on looks lol

 

-Well.. it’s not like ambassadors are chosen based on skill alone ㅇㅇ

 

-Viewers who suddenly start liking him, upvote lol

 

-So no Performance time? That’s the most entertaining part though

 

-No no, it says on the YouTube channel. That they’re doing it at the end.

 

-Why does he look like that while playing the same game when I look like this?

 

-Earth game balance is totally fucked lol for real I want some pay-to-win for my life too!

 

Manager Jo let out a sigh of relief.

 

Thanks to the unexpected visuals, the flow had quickly changed.

 

If he successfully completed the Performance time here, the atmosphere would flip like turning over a palm.

 

That’s just how internet public opinion works.

 

‘Do well, Gwanjong Cheonma. I even gave you three chances to clear it.’

 

There was no need to necessarily defeat the Polar Bear.

 

Just showing some brilliant moments in-game would be fine.

 

The Polar Bear was like the final boss of Survival Ground to begin with,

 

and Users knew well that most people died when encountering it.

 

It wasn’t just intuition – data was prepared to prove Gwanjong Cheonma’s skills.

 

All chicken in placement matches.

 

Most kills in ranked games.

 

Fastest challenger promotion.

 

So now it was time to show it.

 

‘Please, just don’t show the pathetic sight of running away in front of the bear.’

 

Along with Manager Jo’s hopes, Hae-rang began the Performance time.

 

It took less than ten minutes

 

to realize all those worries were unfounded.

 

* * *

 

Whoosh!

 

The Capsule’s glass door opened and Hae-rang stood up from his seat.

 

Sweat drops fell from Manager Jo’s chin.

 

He had forgotten to even wipe his sweat while Hae-rang fought the Polar Bear.

 

‘He caught… the polar bear?’

It was a creature designed to be hunted.

But I thought it wouldn’t be easy.

The polar bear in Survival Ground is much stronger and tougher than real bears.

That’s why I gave him three chances.

But that guy killed the polar bear in just one attempt.

The amazing fact was that he had nothing in his hands.

-No way hahahahaha you caught a bear with your bare hands??

-Wow.. I can’t believe it even after seeing it

-Is it even possible to chokehold kill a polar bear without a gun?

-I’ve seen this on the internet!

-Wasn’t that ‘How to Fight a Bear’ thing proven to be complete nonsense?

-Of course that’s impossible lol that’s just a meme made for humor

 

-Ugh ㅡㅡ Wait, is this fake? This is impossible

-That could be it. That stage was specially created by Kraft

-They lowered the polar bear’s stats, right? Right?

-Dirty bastards tsk tsk tsk, rigging things on an official broadcast?

-I thought so, he caught it too easily

“Team Leader Han!”

Manager Jo called out to marketing team leader Han Seung-taek in an urgent voice.

“Quickly log into the official account.”

“Yes, yes. Manager.”

As Han Seung-taek quickly logged in, Manager Jo directly posted a chat message.

【(Manager)Kraft Official : The polar bear stats on this stage are completely identical to the ‘Survival Ground’ game.】

【(Manager)Kraft Official : No separate stat adjustments were made during Performance Time.】

-Damn lol look at that instant reaction

 

-Such quick reflexes, totally unlike Kraft lololol

-Then how did he catch the polar bear with bare hands?

-For real, even Singularity can’t do this. I bet everything on it.

-There was a reason they selected him as ambassador

-Turns out he was a gaming genius or something..

-He’s definitely a genius. Look at his record. Insane.

-Ah, this is the kid who set the new most kills record. I saw the live announcement when I was playing!

 

-Attention-seeking Heavenly Demon ㄷㄷㄷ Who is he?

 

‘Perfect!’

 

Manager Jo gripped his handkerchief tightly.

 

He could feel the unpleasant dampness, but it didn’t matter.

 

A newly selected ambassador after a year and a half.

 

Instead of taking the safe path with Singularity,

 

the adventure had paid off.

 

His instincts as a former professional gamer had hit the mark perfectly.

 

‘You showed me what I expected. No, even more than that. Gwanjong Cheonma.’

 

His gaze turned toward the capsule on the platform.

 

Was it coincidence?

 

His eyes met with Hae-rang, who had just emerged from the capsule.

 

The corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.

 

As if to say, your choice was right.
