Episode 224

-Seo Jun
-Hey
-Seo Jun
-SJ
-Geomsin has arrived
-Streamer’s here

Seo Jun sat in his chair and faced the camera directly. His face appeared in the broadcast window open on the monitor.
“Hello, everyone.”
He greeted them and waited for people to join.
Thanks to what people called the Winner’s Buff, the speed at which viewers increased was in a completely different dimension.

[Viewers – 13,000]

In less than a minute, he’d already broken through ten thousand.

-So that’s why it’s Perkle today?
-Paid ad alert showing up!
-Well, of course ㅋㅋㅋ
-Straight into ad mode—open your mouths, chat

[Viewers – 30,000]

By the one-minute mark, he’d surpassed thirty thousand.

-Was it an ad?
-Streamer’s here
-Seo Jun
-O Geomsin
-goat

“Yes, it was an ad. But For the Sect also started with an ad, so you know, right?”
There was a setting in the broadcast options to include paid ads.
When enabled, viewers could naturally tell whether an ad was playing or not.
What viewers were now worried about was whether playing the game together would be just this once, based on the notice Seo Jun had posted.
So Seo Jun decided to strike first.

-What if Perkle gets abandoned like this?
-Pretty high chance he won’t abandon it because of the raid update
-But streaming Perkle is way too hard
-So which server, boss!

Well.
He didn’t know what would happen.
Maybe he’d just run the ad today and not do anything else?
The game might not be a good fit.
“Looks like everyone’s joined now.”

[Viewers – 50,000]

He was even positioned at the top of the entire Travel category—viewer numbers worthy of a major corporation.

-Our boss is the best!
-50k without a joint broadcast lol
-Yeah, it’s gonna drop now
-Bet Perkle inflow is like 10% of total viewers ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It’s all League inflow
-The broadcast title really made it impossible to resist
-So which server! I want to go too!

As viewers continued to pour in, Seo Jun moved his mouse pointer.
“Then let’s get to work.”
He opened an internet browser and went to the Last Chronicle official homepage.
“Wait, what’s this game? Can they really run such a generous event?”
For reference, he’d only entered the official homepage—he hadn’t even opened the event page yet.
Seo Jun soon looked embarrassed, stopped mid-sentence, and stared blankly at the screen.
“Guys, how do I get to the event page? News section? Is it this one?”

-??? Starting the ad right away too ㅋㅋㅋ it’s absurd ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can’t even
-So ridiculously awkward ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Did everyone do their homework?
-Yep, gotta study info to get an edge over the boss

Fortunately, while he was searching, the banner on the main page shifted, and event information appeared. Seo Jun was able to find the relevant page.
He grinned and spoke.
“It’s a Skip Pass, everyone. But who can tell me what this Skip Pass actually is?”

-Don’t do ads ㅋㅋㅋ
-Perkle users trusting the boss to bring in traffic are melting down in real time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Yes, so far it was all acting. Actually, did the advertiser just message me? Those of you who typed in chat—’Let Geomsin have conviction and follow his own path’—you’re getting a 10-second ban.”
If a message had come in, he would’ve either turned his head or shown it on screen—one or the other.
Seo Jun clarified this point and continued.
“Okay, moving on. I did accept an ad, but I think everyone agrees the event is generous. So let me explain it now.”
The Skip Pass.
Last Chronicle is an RPG.
And RPGs typically follow a gameplay style where you raise your level and enter dungeons suited to that level.
But as new updates pile up and accumulate.
The more game updates pile on and existing users’ average level rises, the harder it becomes for new users to enjoy new content.
That’s when things like events that let you skip growth phases all at once, or soft resets and hard resets come out.
This Skip Pass is an event that lets you skip growth phases.
“I understand that after you finish the story and raise your character to max level and then raise your equipment level to 300, you meet the minimum requirements to enter the Four Heavenly Kings Raid that’s coming later, right?”

-Yes, that’s right!
-Any real Perkle users here?
-Nope! Everyone seems to have studied up
-There are more RPG fans than expected. Never mind

“But I’ve heard that if you use this Skip Pass, you can reach character max level and equipment level 250 instantly.”
Your character level naturally hits max as you progress through the story.
The problem is what comes after—equipment level.
After hitting character max level, Last Chronicle has.
a standard RPG growth structure where you strengthen your equipment, make the next tier of gear, strengthen that, and raise your equipment level.
And raising equipment level to 300 takes a lot of time, so.
“For newbies, it skips the story and equipment level up to 250, which would otherwise be a barrier to entry. Everyone go grab it now.”
From 250 to 300, you can raise it with the help of another event that gives materials to aid growth.
“So let’s grab this and give it a try.”
Seo Jun clicked the event and hit apply.

-So which server, you bastard!
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The way you’re not telling until you start makes it look like you’re saying don’t go in early and prepare ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Yeah, you assholes, take it easy with a drink~
-I spent 300 on Lunaon till now, please let it be there!

* * *

He entered the Capsule.
Thanks to the Rios prize money, it was now his to own completely, not rent.
Seo Jun adjusted the broadcast settings inside and reconnected.
“Everyone, starting Last Chronicle right now.”
Actually, he’d already started it and turned on the broadcast.
As soon as Seo Jun finished speaking, darkness covered the background and then began to glow brightly again.
“You all loaded it too, right?”
Watching the broadcast while gaming is basic literacy for viewers.

-Yep, been on the load screen since yesterday, let’s go
-Crazy guy, since yesterday ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I loaded it too

The area around him instantly changed into an ocean.
And somehow he was now standing on the sandy beach of a deserted island.
The game had started.
“Huh.”
He could move freely side to side or look at the ocean, but entering the sea itself wasn’t possible. Not that it mattered since it was just the loading screen anyway.
Soon a server selection window appeared before his eyes.

[Lunaon]
[Solaine]

“Where should we go?”

-Lunaon, let’s go let’s go let’s go let’s go
-Gotta be server 1
-So Solaine then
-Solaine’s the right choice

Actually, Seo Jun had already half-decided.
But you needed to do a final check.
“Alright. If you’re already an existing Last Chronicle user and want me to come to your server, type 1 in chat. Let’s talk one-on-one.”
Seo Jun utilized a special chat feature.
It was a function that randomly selected one person from those typing a specific condition in chat and enabled one-on-one conversation.
In the new window that appeared above chat, viewer nicknames scrolled by like a random draw.
“Ah, rugdktoe? Which server would you like me to go to?”
One person was selected and a simple chat room was created.

-Solaine

“And why do you think I should go there?”

-There are a lot of veteran players there. When most Lunaon veterans quit, Solaine kept a lot of them. I’m one of them, by the way

“Ah, is this person right, everyone?”
Cross-verification was necessary.

-Yeah, that’s right
-That’s one reason why Solaine became the demon realm ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The ones who stayed are all demons lol the Last Chronicle demons
-Solaine’s fun though, there are more skilled players ㅋㅋㅋ

“Then I should hear from the Lunaon side too. If you’re a Lunaon user, type 1 in chat.”
Seo Jun randomly selected a viewer again.
“Yes, tell us.”
The selected viewer was.

-Bloodhunters gathered on Lunaon lol btw the gold mail slots are non-merged servers. Has to be the same server. stay calm and do whatever

A very cool viewer.
“Uh…”

-Ahahaha ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Tempting with money, this bastard ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-If even one of the bloodhunters is the boss’s viewer, it’s just free wins ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“I’m going with Lunaon.”
Chat kept uploading things like money-hungry greedy heavenly demon.
He’d been planning to go to Lunaon anyway.
The player count was just slightly lower than Solaine, but the reason was simple: Solaine had a lot more incidents and drama.
Definitely not because of the bloodhunters.
‘Solaine has a lot of existing veterans, so it’s called the demon realm? Is that why there’s so much drama?’
The viewers’ discussion couldn’t change Seo Jun’s mind.
“Let’s go.”
Seo Jun selected Lunaon.
Then.
The sky suddenly turned to night, and when he looked ahead, the moon was approaching.
Whoooosh.
Growing larger and larger until it completely covered the sky, just as he was about to collide with the moon.
The background changed, and Seo Jun existed in darkness with no body.
It wasn’t a special state. Just the feeling you get when watching narration.
Soon six platforms appeared before him.
“Looks like the character select screen.”
As he focused on the first platform, a window appeared.

[Please choose a nickname.]

“So it’s not class selection first?”

-Yeah
-Nope
-Just make one and let’s go!
-Alright, Lunaon charge!!!!!
-Solaine melting down ㅠㅠㅠ should I switch now

“A nickname, huh.”
The goal for today’s broadcast was to learn about the game.
In that sense, he could skip the nickname, but.

-Geomsin! Geomsin! Geomsin! Geomsin! Geomsin!
-Heavenly Demon, please return!!
-Nope, got abandoned For the Sect ~~
-For the Sect believers lol
-What about our Assassination Guild? What about our Assassination Guild? What about our Assassination Guild? What about our Assassination Guild? What about our Assassination Guild?
-Then let’s go with Nameless!
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wouldn’t today’s title bring back memories ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Super rich goat Travel’s Rothschild Goldman Sachs Morgan what are you talking about?

A nickname was just as critical as server one.
“Hmm.”
Seo Jun looked at chat, deliberated for a while, exchanged opinions, then shrugged and spoke.
“Let’s just go with Geomsin for now and change it later.”
Collective intelligence wasn’t working properly today.

[Confirm Geomsin?]

Of course it wouldn’t go through. The nickname had probably already been taken.
“Let’s see how far we get this time.”

[That nickname is already in use.]
[Confirm Geomsin2?]

-Why aren’t you buying nicknames, viewers. You’re missing out
-You buy them ㅋㅋㅋ
-Technically everyone’s a newbie, but you guys are already trading nicknames ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is Geomsin14 back!
-I got that one ㅋㅋㅋ

From that point on, Seo Jun’s race began anew.
The problem was.

[Confirm Geomsin3?]
[Confirm Geomsin4?]
[Confirm Geomsin5?]
.
.
.
[Confirm Geomsin37?]
[Confirm Geomsin38?]

-?????????
-What?
-What’s happening ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Geomsin is being copied?
-I definitely grabbed Geomsin5 on Solaine yesterday and Geomsin6 on Lunaon, so why’s it past 40 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Seo Jun paused the race for a moment.
“Hmm, something seems wrong, guys? What did you all do?”
He tried a higher number on the next attempt.

[Confirm Geomsin103?]
[That nickname is already in use.]

“What, what’s this?”

-Lmao ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Secured 100 Geomsin accounts ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The boss’s viewers’ desire to participate was this strong? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What the boss is really thinking right now: we’re screwed

* * *

At the same time.
A screenshot from a site that tracked Last Chronicle statistics was posted on Raven.

[Major Lunaon Update]
==
Characters from accounts activated 5 minutes ago (accounts that logged in at least once in the past month).
Lunaon –> 173,153
Solaine –> 175,539

Current.
Lunaon –> 184,756
Solaine –> 175,546

In just 5 minutes, over 10,000 new characters added—Lunaon takes server 1 status.
Don’t know where it’ll stop.
==

-??? Is this user count right?
-What?
-That streamer chose Lunaon so that’s why ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ legend material
└Is this really streamer snowball? I mean is this even possible????
└That’s what I’m saying ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The scary part is this happened less than 10 minutes after he started the broadcast and loaded the game
-Like ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 10k people are waiting in queue right now. I’m scared to think how many new zone channels will be created ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-That’s why he’s not just any streamer. He’s a major one
-No way!!!!!!
└Solaine users melting down ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Seriously www a single streamer destroyed the server www

It probably wasn’t actually 10,000 people.
The statistics showed character numbers, so many people probably created multiple characters at once.
And not all of them would be waiting to log in right away.
But still.
In just 5 minutes, Seo Jun had unintentionally locked in server 1 status, and the snowball he was about to roll through Last Chronicle was only just beginning.
