Chapter 58
The comprehensive gaming platform ‘Shotgun’.
The games that usually dominate the popular posts are typically predetermined.
5v5 team games like ‘Legend of League’ and ‘Underwatch’.
Survival FPS game ‘Survival Ground’.
From elementary students to adults, everyone enjoys ‘Mushroom Story’ and ‘Mine Craft’.
Most popular posts contain content related to these games.
But today, a story about a new game caught attention on the ‘Shotgun’ forum for the first time in a while.
[‘Assassin Revenge’ Triple S All Clear Witness Story]
[Do you guys know Gwanjong Cheonma?
He’s a new streamer sponsored by Singularity,
Yesterday he cleared ‘Assassin Revenge’ disaster mode in one go lololol
This alone is already insane, but he maxed out all the grades to ‘SSS’ ㄷㄷㄷ
Have you guys ever seen a grade higher than S in the Assassin Series?
Even the Fruit of Good and Evil came out white instead of red.
I’m proud that I saw this live.
They say ‘Gonau Soft’ website isn’t just archiving it in the ‘Hall of Fame’ but creating a separate section called ‘Untouchable’.
A highlight video will be uploaded to YouTube soon, so check it out.]
It was a post that could easily be dismissed as clickbait from the title alone.
At least to those who didn’t know.
And for good reason, since it made no sense for a new grade to appear in Assassin Revenge, which was almost 5 years old.
Since every detail in the post was shocking, the initial comment reactions weren’t very positive.
-lololol what kind of low-grade trolling is this? You should know when to stop lying
-Our little baby, go study how to stir up trouble some more and come back ㅉㅉ
-Goo goo! I’m a baby troll!
-I’ve never seen anything above S in the Assassin Series, but you cleared everything with SSS? lol
-What do we call experience stories without proof? ^^
-Chu-chak-chak chu-chu-chak!
-If what he’s saying is true, I’ll buy Papa Touch hamburgers for everyone here
└Getting in line first
└Me too! Give me one too!
└These idiots mindlessly suck up to whoever says they’ll pay ㅉㅉ (me too though)
-I’ve tried it too so I know, getting even one S grade is like plucking stars from the sky. What nonsense are you spouting?
But since it was clearly a story based on facts, rebuttals kept pouring out one after another.
-That’s real though. I saw it too. Actually, I couldn’t believe it even while watching
-I was just staying quiet because I was afraid of getting terrorized like the poster lololol
-This is real. If you can’t believe it, go check YouTube. All the early highlights are up.
-These idiots call everything fake and attention-seeking whenever someone tells a story ㅡㅡ Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t make it fake, does it?
Meanwhile, there were also users who remembered his past activities.
-Gwanjong Cheonma? Isn’t this the person who appeared in Break the Joint? Guess he played the Assassin Series.
-This person’s moves are really unpredictable lol The man who plays Zangief, then Full Phoenix, then jar games!
-But why is he playing Assassin Revenge instead of Assassin Zero? It was a game suggested by Singularity itself
-lololol He kicked away his own fortune. He doesn’t even know what it means to be told to try Assassin Zero.
-For real, if I were Da-hong, I’d go find him and glare at him with contempt. Why did you play a different game with the sponsorship money?
└Oh wow. Wouldn’t that be a reward?
└Please give me a look of contempt too, Dahong ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-He subtly becomes a topic once in a while. Has this person ever shown his face?
└No, never
└Would he? He’s probably completely different from his streamer appearance lololol
-This person’s concept is amazing. He thinks he’s the Heavenly Demon, but his expressions and acting are method acting level
-Anyway, I’m curious. Gwanjong Cheonma’s face. Will he reveal it later if he gets popular?
Those who criticized the post.
Those who proved the facts.
Those whose curiosity was triggered.

A bustling large outlet.
Two men stood tall facing the building.
“Gang-si brother.”
“What.”
“You’re meeting Da-hong today, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Are you meeting here?”
Choi Gang-sik’s face contorted.
“Dude. Would we sensibly meet Singularity in this crowded place? Do you know how picky they are?”
“That’s why I’m asking. It seems like we wouldn’t have business here.”
“Why wouldn’t we have business? Look at yourself right now.”
At Choi Gang-sik’s words, Hae-rang lowered his head.
And examined his own body.
“There doesn’t seem to be any particular problem.”
“No problem? Not knowing that is an even bigger problem.”
Choi Gang-sik grabbed Hae-rang’s arm and walked ahead.
“This is the first meeting with industry people. And the target is Da-hong. But you’re going to go in short sleeves, shorts, and a training suit?”
“Ah. You’re saying the outfit is the problem. You told me to dress neatly, so I wore a matching top and bottom set.”
“Ha. You unified everything with training sets? Really well done. Very, very exceptionally well done!”
“Kuk…”
“What? What’s wrong?”
“You’re suddenly praising me so much…”
“Does this look like praise to you!”
Choi Gang-sik, who had raised his voice, soon looked around.
In crowded places, Hae-rang’s face was like a magnet.
Because he drew the gaze of every person who happened to make eye contact.
“Just trust me and follow along. I was planning to bring you here anyway. Today I’ll give you a complete transformation.”
“A, a complete transformation? Really?”
Seeing Hae-rang take it seriously made him sigh involuntarily.
“Of course it’s a joke, you fool. What do you think this is, some martial arts novel?”
“That’s a shame. That would have been really good.”
“Let’s go to that store first. We need to move quickly if we want to make it on time.”
“Yes.”
Hae-rang obediently followed behind Choi Gang-sik.
Whatever the reason and method, he was ultimately someone who stepped forward to help him.
“Show me just a few of the best-selling items here.”
“Listen here. I may look like this, but I used to eat at the broadcasting station.”
“Don’t you know this collar pattern is outdated? What new product!”
Choi Gang-sik combed through the outlet clothing stores thoroughly.
Every time he passionately argued with the staff, Hae-rang showed a pleased smile from behind.
* * *
“Ababa~”
“Oh my. Our baby babbles so well.”
A park-concept food court that was good for taking care of young children.
It was Da-hong’s preferred place when meeting people.
Most visitors were families, so it was far removed from game broadcasting.
Even if young parents knew about Singularity, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
“Eungae!”
“Oh my! Honey, please mix some formula.”
They didn’t have the leisure to look around because of their children.
That was why Da-hong could sit openly in the spacious area.
A modest face far from the makeup she wore when broadcasting.
But she didn’t wear a hat or sunglasses.
She thought it wasn’t proper etiquette for a first meeting.
Singularities were more popular than celebrities, but that didn’t mean she intended to look down on people.
There are no people above people.
It was something Father had always emphasized.
‘What kind of appearance will he show up with.’
Da-hong twirled her straw around while imagining ‘his’ appearance.
Clink.
Every time the ice in the glass cup collided, ‘his’ face changed moment by moment.
‘Since he has good athletic ability, maybe a burly athlete style?’
Clink.
‘Seeing how he sometimes says absurd things, he might be an eccentric type.’
Clink.
‘Considering he donated that much but still plays jar games, he might be a spoiled brat.’
Da-hong stopped twirling her straw and let out a sigh.
No matter what assumptions she made, only negative expectations came to mind.
‘Just, please come out properly washed.’
Like beans sprouting in a drought, Singularities rarely gathered in one place for fan meetings.
Da-hong treated all fans with sincerity.
Without viewers watching, Singularities would be nothing more than ordinary gamers.
But just one thing.
It was hard to endure in front of fans who smelled musty.
Da-hong’s expectations for Gwanjong Cheonma were exactly that level.
Come out washed.
Please.
“Sister.”
What woke Da-hong from her reverie was a young boy who appeared to be about five or six years old.
The young boy was holding a sketchbook with both hands.
It meant he wanted an autograph.
“Do you know who I am?”
When Da-hong asked with a gentle smile, the boy nodded vigorously.
“Yes. I know. Singularity.”
Turning her head, she saw the child’s mother and father watching from over there, holding their breath.
Da-hong took the sketchbook and signed it stylishly.
Then she patted the boy’s head.
“You study hard for as much time as you watch broadcasts, right?”
“Of course. Thank you!”
As if holding a precious treasure to his chest.
The boy hugged the sketchbook and walked back with quick steps.
‘Right. This is normal.’
Even snotty little kids,
and young parents busy with childcare recognize Da-hong.
From before entering elementary school until entering university.
Singularities are objects of admiration that everyone loves.
‘But that guy…’
He seemed to treat her like just another viewer.
No, at least he would listen to what viewers say.
Instead of the games she suggested, he only did random things.
‘His customization was done properly, so why does he act like that?’
That man approaching from far away.
He looked exactly like that.
Eyes sharp enough to be called keen,
a physique that naturally felt light,
a jawline so smooth that mosquitoes would slip while trying to suck blood.
Whoever he was, he was a spitting image of Gwanjong Cheonma…
“Huh?”
The straw Da-hong was biting slipped into the cup.
She couldn’t close her mouth properly.
A person who looked exactly like Gwanjong Cheonma was approaching Da-hong.
‘Did he… customize his character based on that person?’
Many gamers customize using popular celebrities as concepts.
However, Gwanjong Cheonma isn’t a figure known to the public.
An acquaintance?
Or did he pay money to hire a model?
The person who had approached right in front of Hae-rang reminded her that all of Da-hong’s assumptions were wrong.
“Da-hong?”
“Eh?”
“This is the first time meeting you in person. I’m streamer Gwanjong Cheonma.”
“Oh, oh. Yes!”
Da-hong sprang up like a spring and grasped Hae-rang’s extended hand.
Her trembling pupils scanned Hae-rang’s entire body.
‘Identical…!’
Gwanjong Cheonma’s character in-game.
There wasn’t a single difference from that appearance.
No.
Should I say this side shines even more than the character’s appearance?
Da-hong couldn’t believe the current situation.
‘He made an exact copy of his own appearance?’
Hae-rang’s face must have been artificially created.
Not just Da-hong, but everyone expected that.
Because it was a visual that would be hard to exist in reality.
‘Such looks actually exist in reality…’
Of course, most Singularities also have good faces,
but excluding Da-hong, most friends had gone through Doctor God’s hands.
Face reveals were essential for them, and they had more glamorous fame and wealth than celebrities.
“My real name is Cheon Hae-rang.”
“Ah… Yes. Mine’s the same. I’m Ye Da-hong.”
After introductions ended, the tired-looking man who came with Hae-rang handed over a business card.
“Nice to meet you. Cheon Hae-rang’s manager. I’m called Choi Gang-sik.”
“Yes. Please take care of me.”
Han Da-hong quickly bowed her head.
Then she thought ‘oops.’
‘I wasn’t planning to go with this kind of atmosphere…!’
Why did you change the game?
Was my proposal really that bad?
She had planned to take the initiative by saying things like that.
But what was this current state of affairs?
Jumping up from her seat in surprise.
Bowing her head repeatedly as soon as someone finished speaking.
This was a complete 180-degree difference from Ye Da-hong’s usual attitude.
‘I’m screwed. How did it end up like this?’
Da-hong bit her lip slightly and sat down.
The two men sitting across from her exchanged meaningful glances.
