Chapter 35

Yeon-rang.

The one who was Hae-rang’s older brother in his previous life.

It was such a small murmur that no viewer properly heard it.

As if stars were pouring from the sky, Hae-rang’s blue eyes sparkled brighter than ever.

After briefly gazing into the void, Hae-rang soon pressed the next button.

* * *

After the masterful scene created with Peraza, Hae-rang continued with minor quests.

【Quest Success!】

【Quest Achievement Grade: SSS】

【Current Average Achievement: SSS】

-Again?

-That was sick lololololol

-Now I’d feel disappointed if Triple S didn’t show up

-Someone quickly contact Gonau Soft. Tell them a new record in ‘Disaster’ mode is reserved.

The battle with Viego Gang.

And the race with his brother.

The early quests of ‘Assassin’s Revenge’ were notoriously difficult.

So much so that these two quests were called the worst entry barriers.

But Hae-rang had achieved Triple S in both of those quests.

There was no way he’d get low grades in the relatively easier quests that followed.

And then came another high-difficulty quest.

【Quest: Leap of Faith】

-Ugh!

-It’s here! My PTSD!

-Trust my ass ㅡㅡ This thing gave me acrophobia when I never had it before

-Hold tight! You’re falling!

One of the protagonist’s signature skills in ‘Assassin’s Revenge’.

‘Leap of Faith’ is a technique where you land on the ground from an incredibly high place.

Usually usable in places with hay piles or fallen leaves on the ground, there were two reasons why users trembled at it.

The first was the difficulty of the ‘Leap of Faith’ technique itself.

-Hey developers. Could you jump accurately to that hay cart from this position?

-If you’re an Assassin user who wants to tie up the developers and hang them up there, upvote lololololol

-Land over there from dozens of meters away? What am I, a human dart? ㅡㅡ

The second was having the strong heart to jump from such heights.

-It must feel like bungee jumping rather than playing a game. Ugh!

-At least bungee jumping has safety equipment. Does it make sense to throw your bare body there?

-Seriously. What crazy bastard created this suicide skill in a VR game?

-Even the word “trust” pisses me off lololol

-There are tons of streamers who quit not because of lack of gaming skills, but because of this crazy acrophobia lol

However, Hae-rang, who actually checked the quest, asked in a bland voice.

“Do I just… need to jump down?”

-You can’t just jump anywhere, you have to land precisely on the hay pile

-Hahahaha you make it sound so easy lol Why don’t you try it! It’s not as easy as it sounds

-First, take deep breaths slowly, and once you’ve made up your mind, fix your gaze and…

Whoosh!

Before the viewers’ advice could even finish,

Elogio lifted both feet.

-?

-What? Already?

-Ugh! He did it!

-He has no heart… our Gwanjong has no heart…

Elogio falling to the ground under gravity’s influence.

Far from acrophobia, a gentle breeze touched his lips.

‘This quest is a piece of cake.’

A quest where you just need to fall from top to bottom.

For Hae-rang, it would be harder to find an easier quest than this.

He had swept through entire mountains with Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step, and fought hundreds of exchanges on the snowy mountain cliffs of North Sea Ice Palace where even breathing was difficult.

Just falling from a building rooftop was nothing.

Hae-rang went beyond simply descending and acrobatically rotated his body.

Whirlll!

In the end, he leisurely buried himself in the hay pile with his arms crossed.

Poof!

【Quest Success!】

【Quest Achievement Grade: SSS】

【Current Average Achievement: SSS】

-It’s up! Triple S!

-Shit lmaooooooo what the hell is this now

-Did anyone see him twisting his body around just now? Just me?

-Everyone here probably saw it, right? Anyway, there’s no normal person in every Quest lol

-What kind of swimming dive is this supposed to be lololololol

-During the fall, I almost died of boredom

-He fell properly right after receiving the quest. Even mixed in some performance. Deserves the Triple S.

【Narok donated 10,000 won!】

【You’re falling faster than me.】

【Butterfly Phelps has donated 30,000 won!】

【Want to learn swimming from me? You seem to have a talent for diving.】

Rustle.

A faint vibration occurs in the hay pile covering Elogio.

After enjoying the praise for a moment, Elogio soon emerged from the hay pile and dusted himself off.

“The game is incredibly realistic. There’s straw stuck to my clothes.”

-Of course. Do you know how much money they pour into making the Assassin Series.

“It’s messy and annoying. Can’t I just fall to the ground instead of the hay pile?”

-Yeah, you can do that too. And then you die.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ For real, the moment your feet touch the ground you can tell it’s not anti-shock

-Is this a new suicide method?

-No idiot has ever tried that. No one would do that in virtual reality.

-Even if you somehow avoid Anti-Shock, the game mechanics make you die instantly if you miss the hay.

“I see.”

Since this technique was a core skill in ‘Assassin’s Revenge’, it seemed applications wouldn’t work.

With Hae-rang’s current ability to use Heavenly Demon Moon Shadow Step up to the Second Level,

he could cushion the impact even when landing on bare ground.

But if those were the game’s rules, he intended to follow them.

“Hello, my son?”

Elogio, having completed the ‘Leap of Faith’ Quest, encounters his Mother standing in front of the house.

“Yes, Mother. How are you feeling?”

“Good, naturally. How about you. I heard you had quite a night yesterday.”

“Excuse me?”

-ㅗㅜㅑ ㅗㅜㅑ ㅗㅜㅑ

-Mother. Did you know? Where Elogio went after parting with his brother!

-Already got caught meeting your girlfriend? lol

-Ugh. Elogio, you enviable bastard.

With so many viewers, various memes related to the in-game setting popped up.

Hae-rang just silently listened to the conversation with Mother.

“We’re here. This is it.”

The mother and son walking down the street stopped in front of a door with a beautiful painting.

The Chat Window became noticeably more active.

-Here we go!

-Knock knock. We’re here to share good news ^^

-Will this encounter truly be a blessing or a curse for him ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Run away quickly!

When Mother knocked on the door, a young man wearing a Red Cloak and Artist’s Hat welcomed them warmly.

“Oh! Lady Maria.”

“Hello. Leonardo. This is my son. Elogio.”

Hae-rang’s blue eyes turned toward the man before him.

‘This person is exactly…’

The most famous artist in the world Hae-rang had possessed.

Leonardo da Vinci stood before Hae-rang.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Likewise. Leonardo.”

-The beginning of a legend ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ

-Italian version of the Peach Garden Oath ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The terrifying curse that if one dies, the other must die too!

-Your mother is wise. She’s pairing you up with Leonardo so Illogio won’t die, isn’t she ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The game setting of ‘Assassin’s Revenge’ was 1400s Florence, Italy.

Since it was the same era as Leonardo, they included the famous figure in the Game.

Since the protagonist only receives help from him in the Game, related memes were created.

-Hahahaha The crime of befriending Illogio! Accept your punishment!

-He’ll keep bothering you constantly from now on, if I were da Vinci I’d just run away in my underwear

-Gwanjong Cheonma: Make this for me! Make that for me! Just do everything!

-Lee Changseop ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Waah I’m baby Heavenly Demon!

The future developments were predictable just from the flood of chat messages.

While Leonardo went to get a painting, Mother spoke up.

“Leonardo is a very talented person.”

“He seems to be.”

“I hope you can express yourself beautifully like Leonardo.”

“I’m expressing myself in my own way.”

Then Mother’s blatant gaze turned toward Elogio’s lower body.

“You don’t necessarily have to express it only downward, you know?”

-Whoa whoa d d d d

-Mother. Your jokes are no ordinary level.

-It’s spicy, so spicy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is this the kind of joke you make to your own son?

-Medieval Italy.. what kind of place is that.

-Gonau Soft developers think this kind of stuff is funny lol

Elogio, who had a brief encounter with Leonardo.

After finishing the Quest with Mother, he returned home.

His father Giovanni came out to the door to greet him.

“Elogio!”

It was quite an angry voice.

“Do you think I know nothing? You got into a fight a few days ago, and spent the night at your girlfriend’s house only to get caught by her father?”

“Father…”

“Your behavior is really… really…!”

Giovanni, who had been frowning deeply, suddenly brightened his face completely.

“It’s like seeing myself in my youth.”

“…?”

-?????

-Totally a Gen Z dad ㅡㅡ

-Hahahaha so this is why Illogio lived so recklessly

-A father who believes in me and supports me ㅠㅠ It’s so different from my reality ㅠㅠ

For a moment, Elogio’s eyes shook greatly.

That reaction was Hae-rang’s true self, not the character’s.

‘Even though it’s in-game, Elogio lived a happy life.’

A brother, mother, and even father who truly cared for him.

These were things that Hae-rang in his previous life had never had.

In this game, it felt like he could do anything for these people.

However, the game’s story made that determination meaningless.

* * *

“Giovanni Auditore! You and your accomplices have come here for committing treason. Do you have evidence to explain yourself?”

In the bustling plaza, two men are bound.

Behind them, soldiers in splendid armor were glaring at them.

“Yes! The documents delivered to you yesterday evening are the very evidence!”

Giovanni protested with a voice full of indignation.

But the large-built man who had questioned him, Uberto, shook his head.

“Nothing was delivered to me.”

“That’s a lie!”

Elogio, who appeared from the crowd, raised his voice.

Uberto spotted Elogio and smiled coldly.

“Bind that one too.”

Then he raised his voice before the crowd.

“Giovanni Auditore! Since you have failed to present proper evidence to prove your innocence, I declare the defendant guilty. I sentence you and all your accomplices to death!”

“Uberto! You were the traitor!”

Giovanni shouted at Uberto with fierce eyes.

“Don’t think this is the end! You may take our lives today, but someday you…”

Clank!

With a chilling sound, Elogio’s father, Giovanni’s body dropped down.

Crack!

Father, executed by hanging in an instant.

“Father!”

Elogio’s eyes sparked as he ran toward the execution ground.

“Guards! Catch that man!”

Thud thud thud!

A guard twice Elogio’s size approached, heavily armed.

At the same time, the Quest window activated.

【Quest : Get away from the guards.】

The guard was right in front of him.

But Elogio took no action whatsoever.

“…No.”

He simply maintained his lowered gaze, repeating to himself as if making a vow.

“This time I’ll save him.”

Elogio’s arm moved like lightning speed.

Then something black and deadly flew through the air from his fingertips.

Swoosh!

The assassin’s blade, the Hidden Blade, that Father had given him while imprisoned.

What shot out from Hae-rang’s fingertips was the blade of the Hidden Blade.

“Ah…!”

The blade struck his brother Peraza’s wrist.

The restraints binding him came loose, and Peraza was momentarily freed.

Elogio leaped through the air and stood before Peraza.

“What, what are you doing! Capture him!”

Uberto’s eyes bulged as he shouted at the soldiers.

Soon heavily armed guards surrounded Elogio and Peraza.

Peraza’s expression turned resolute.

“Elogio. This brother will somehow….”

“Don’t let go.”

“Huh?”

“My back. Don’t let go and follow me.”

As if dreaming.

A very special ringing sound reached Peraza’s ears as he stared with a dazed expression.

Kiiing!
