Chapter 64

“I refuse.”

“Why!”

A mournful voice echoed in all directions.

Death Blood Valley, the stronghold of the Blood Cult, had become a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

The stench of blood was inherently unpleasant,

but the blood scent of dead Demon People was even more disgusting and nauseating.

“Cheon Hae-rang! Why!”

The half-human half-beast old man repeated the same words like a parrot.

He was the leader of the Blood Cult, notorious throughout Murim.

The Blood Cult Leader burst into an aged voice atop the mountain of corpses.

They had not all died by Hae-rang’s hand.

They had simply died from exhaustion during battle.

While spilling black blood from their mouths.

Human weapons brainwashed to the bone, fighting only for their leader until death.

Though they had all attacked together, they couldn’t inflict a single wound on Hae-rang.

“Why won’t you join hands with me! Even with that tremendous skill!”

“Enough.”

Hae-rang raised one hand to stop his words.

“I don’t particularly want to hear praise from you.”

“Praise again! Stop with that damn praise talk!”

Dark red aura poured from the Blood Cult Leader’s twisted mouth.

Hae-rang lightly swung his sword to deflect the aura.

Hiss!

Nearby rocks and trees melted as if hit by acid.

But once again, it couldn’t inflict any wounds on Hae-rang.

“Together with me, we could control not only the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, but this entire Central Plains! You know this well!”

“Perhaps that might be so.”

“Then! Why won’t you join me!”

Hae-rang lifted his head to gaze at the full moon.

Then he smiled, revealing teeth whiter than the moon.

“How could a wolf cub go under a dog?”

“You bastard…!”

The leader ground his teeth as if he couldn’t understand.

“Is it for the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult? For your father, the Heavenly Demon, who regarded you as less than vermin?”

“…!”

“I see I’m right since you can’t speak! Kahahat! Foolish bastard! Just because you think of your father that way, do you think that heartless Heavenly Demon will think of you? The Blood Cult and Heavenly Demon Divine Cult are both packs of dogs, you fool!”

“You’re right.”

Hae-rang readily admitted it.

To him, his father had been nothing but a cold and barren existence his entire life.

“So, I will stand alone.”

“What…?”

“Rather than living mixed in with a pack of dogs, it’s better to stand alone. In doing so, my followers will appear one by one, and a new Heavenly Demon Divine Cult might be born. If that happens…”…”

A dreamlike quality entered Hae-rang’s voice.

“I’ll be able to receive praise from countless wolves.”

“Stop with that damn praise talk!”

Blood flowed from the leader’s ears.

This wasn’t simply a joke.

Blood was actually flowing from his various orifices.

Even the Blood Cult Leader, who made entire mountains tremble, had suffered serious damage.

“I’ll handle my own future. So you should go to where you belong.”

To hell.

The unprecedented incident where Hae-rang alone charged into Death Blood Valley and destroyed the Blood Cult.

The history of the Blood Cult’s destruction was written thus.

* * *

Choi Gang-sik cursed as soon as he heard the story.

“Are you crazy?”

Then he bounced up and down while sitting in the cafe.

“You rejected Singularity’s proposal? That precious opportunity given by heaven?”

“It wasn’t given by heaven, Da-hong proposed it.”

“That’s exactly what I mean! Cough! Cough!”

A coughing sound that seemed like he’d been sick for at least a dozen years.

Perhaps from hearing Hae-rang’s story, his dark circles seemed to have deepened even more.

“Among gamers and streamers, Singularity is like the sky itself. And you threw away that offer!”

Hae-rang looked rather like he couldn’t understand Choi Gang-sik.

“How could a wolf enter a pack of dogs?”

“Wolf, dog, whatever. I’m aging because of you. Aging.”

Choi Gang-sik clicked his tongue bitterly.

It was a decision he’d regret for a long time.

What kind of position was Singularity, after all.

If Hae-rang rose to Singularity, his already ascending broadcast would gain wings.

“That praise you love so much! If you become Singularity, you’ll hear much more of it!”

“It won’t be easy.”

“What won’t? Receiving praise?”

“No. Da-hong convincing them.”

“…!”

Was it his imagination?

Hae-rang’s blue eyes seemed to hold wisdom beyond his years.

“Then and now, those with vested interests are exclusive toward others. They don’t welcome new faces. Because they think they’ll have to share what they hold in their hands.”

“So?”

“Singularity is the same. They’re already eating well and living well without needing to achieve good results in world competitions. Would they welcome a new member? Especially a new streamer who hasn’t even gone through testing.”

“So you’re saying that even if Da-hong tries her best, it’s impossible from the start?”

“Probably.”

“Haha.”

Choi Gang-sik burst into laughter.

“You’re really something else. You’re probably the only person in this world who’d call Singularity a pack of bastards.”

“I didn’t say all of them.”

“Right. I know. Da-hong is more like a wolf than a dog. No, maybe she’d be a tiger?”

Seeing jokes come out, Choi Gang-sik seemed to have accepted it too.

Hae-rang was right.

No matter how hard Da-hong tried, it wouldn’t be easy.

There was no justification for being with Hae-rang, and she lacked the qualifications.

“Let me ask one thing. If Singularity all agreed, would you join then?”

“I’ll think about that when the time comes.”

“Well, fine. Let’s consider joining Singularity when they come looking for us themselves. Geez. Even as I say it with my own mouth, it’s completely unrealistic.”

Choi Gang-sik coolly downed his iced Americano.

That ended his lingering attachment.

As his manager, he had no intention of mentioning Singularity anymore.

“Go thank Mother later.”

“Suddenly?”

“The video went up today. Your ‘Assassin Revenge’ highlight, I mean.”

At those words, Hae-rang’s eyes widened.

“The highlight is out already?”

“I’m surprised too. Does Mother get any sleep these days? Even though I told her to take it slow, her work speed is incredible. At this rate, Mother’s computer will be overclocked too.”

[Gwanjong Cheonma’s Game Broadcast: Assassin Revenge part 2. Full SSS Clear! Hall of Fame – Untouchable Achievement!]

The title was flashy, and the in-game highlights were impressive.

The view count couldn’t help but be high.

It hadn’t been up for long, but the views had already surpassed ten thousand.

Even though they didn’t particularly manage comments, the reactions were all praise.

-What? Wasn’t this supposed to be a mission where you follow the Assassins properly? Why are you suddenly slaughtering the Templars lol

-But damn, they fight so well. Look how they found the leader in all that chaos and instantly took them out ㄷㄷㄷ

-Wow! Look at him flying through the sky while swinging his sword! It’s like a movie!

-You can use Leap like that too;;; What have I been doing all this time

-15:38 【< What's this? Why is a sword suddenly falling from the sky?</p】

-That was thrown in the air beforehand lol we had no idea what was happening when we watched it live either

-You’re saying it was pre-planned from above just because there were two guards? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Come on, that has to make sense!

-But that actually happened

-Wow, when he throws the fake codex page out the window, he doesn’t chase after it. What judgment?

-For real, I would have jumped right down;;;

-That’s not something you can predict in advance. To make that kind of judgment in such a short situation ㄷㄷ

-Is it real that they’re running with leaves floating around? ㄷㄷㄷ So romantic

-Now that I think about it, this is perfect for a Heavenly Demon concept lol I’m momentarily confused whether the game setting is medieval or martial arts lol

-How many famous scenes are there in just this one highlight?

-Mom! I want to become Gwanjong Cheonma when I grow up! Mom! I want to become Gwanjong Cheonma when I grow up! Mom! I want to become Gwanjong Cheonma when I grow up! Mom! I want to become Gwanjong Cheonma when I grow up!

-“Waah!” When Gwanjong Cheonma was born, the nurse cried out vigorously

Hae-rang looked at the comment window and clenched both hands tightly.

And then he trembled for a moment.

As if he had grown accustomed to such things, Choi Gang-sik leisurely drank his coffee.

After a while.

Hae-rang spoke about his mother.

“Mother seems… to be excited.”

“Hmm?”

“Her face has brightened up a lot lately. Her dark circles have gotten much lighter, and her complexion has improved. She says she doesn’t feel tired at all.”

At that, Choi Gang-sik chuckled.

“Right. There’s no better tonic than seeing your child succeed. Still, make sure she doesn’t overdo it. You should tell her that at home.”

“I will do that.”

“Now, that aside. It’s time to make a decision.”

Choi Gang-sik clapped his hands once.

Since they rejected Singularity’s proposal, they wouldn’t be doing ‘Assassin Zero’ for now.

That was better for the viewers too.

If you keep doing the same series, people can get tired of it quickly.

“What do you want to do next? Iron Fist got good reactions, and Assassin Revenge was amazing. To put it simply, you’re in a situation where you can do whatever you want.”

Choi Gang-sik didn’t hide his anticipation.

There are various types of streamers.

Fighting game specialists.

FPS specialists.

Comedy game specialists.

And there are comprehensive game streamers who encompass all of these.

Naturally, all streamers aspire to do comprehensive game broadcasts.

The games you can play become the material for your broadcasts.

‘In that sense, Hae-rang has climbed to a very advantageous position.’

He appealed with fighting games through Street Fighting and Iron Fist,

and showed the essence of first-person games with ‘Assassin Revenge’.

He even captured both ‘funny broadcasts’ and ‘skill broadcasts’ through the jar game.

As Choi Gang-sik said, it was a situation where he could ‘do whatever he wanted’.

So he was curious.

What kind of game would Hae-rang choose?

After a moment of silence, Hae-rang soon opened his mouth.

“While playing games with Da-hong this time, I became curious about something.”

“What is it?”

“Whether Singularity is actually good at games. I started having doubts.”

“Huh.”

Coffee dripped from between Choi Gang-sik’s lips.

Then he looked left and right.

He was worried that someone might have heard Hae-rang’s shocking comment.

“Mom. Look at that person. He’s drooling soup.”

“Oh my. Let’s not make eye contact with that uncle.”

However, it was actually Choi Gang-sik himself who was drawing attention.

He coughed awkwardly and quickly wiped around his mouth.

“That’s how you see it? Singularity doesn’t seem like much to you?”

“Rather than not being much… I don’t think they’re at the level to dominate our country’s gaming market.”

“Well, looking at their pathetic international tournament results, it is disappointing. But they’re still the best players in our country.”

“According to Da-hong, her skill level is mid-to-upper tier among Singularity. What does that tell you?”

“Hmm.”

In fact, Choi Gang-sik had been vaguely estimating as well.

Yesterday’s meeting between Hae-rang and Da-hong was called a ‘match’, but it was more like one-sided ‘education’.

Would Hae-rang, who had taught Da-hong a lesson, struggle against other Singularities?

It was more likely that they would find it overwhelming.

If limited to Iron Fist Seven, there probably weren’t many in Singularity who could beat Hae-rang.

“So, are you going to Iron Fist Nine where the Singularities are active?”

“I considered that, but there’s another game where I can meet Singularities more often.”

“What’s that?”

A flame of competitive spirit flickered in Hae-rang’s eyes.

“A survival game with dozens of people. There, I could meet several Singularities.”
