Episode 358

“Me? You want me to analyze that?”
Bang Ju, who had spent hours thoroughly enjoying—or rather, commentating on—Seo Jun’s raid, spoke in a tone of utter bewilderment.
He’d been saying the same thing for hours now.
Even as he sat watching Seo Jun play in real time.
It was certainly understandable why everyone was curious.
The fact that no one had published an analysis made it an even bigger topic of discussion.
Was it even possible for a video that had generated this much buzz to have no analysis appear?

-Nobody’s posting anything so it’s driving everyone crazy lmaooo
-I wanna know about that guy
-seriously just WHAT HAPPENED I need to know

It was Seo Jun, after all.

[Here’s how you do it! I showed you, so don’t ask for more.]

This too was unmistakably Seo Jun.
Just plain vicious. Seriously.
“Hahaha! Ah, you bastard. That’s brilliant! Instead of an analysis, he just showed us how once more! Yes!”
How many people must be panicking right now?
As an amateur commentator posing as an expert analyst rather than a true professional, Bang Ju could simply say he didn’t know. What was he supposed to understand about Seo Jun?
But the professional analysts? They were different.
They were under pressure.
Why would they suddenly take a broadcasting hiatus?
Didn’t they know that’s all anyone would talk about?
Rather than go live and look evasive, they’d all chosen to take a hiatus under some other pretense—eyes closed, fingers in ears.
For the professional analysts, it was the better option.
No expert would give up this kind of aggro.
If they broadcast an analysis, they knew exactly how many viewers would flock to them.
But they couldn’t do it.
No, they couldn’t. So they gave up.
“Just give up! Unless the gaming company releases a fog-free version, there’s no way to figure it out! Or you could wait about a week, run some movement simulations, and eventually an analysis video will pop up. Your choice!”
At least for today, it was impossible.
Bang Ju chuckled, and Seo Jun continued methodically tearing through the Hunter Team.
And about twenty minutes later—
“Huh? It’s up? Really? Why? Under what justification?”

-it just straight-up says “the video everyone’s been curious about, gamers!” and uploaded it lollll
-dude he’s actually doing it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Wow… no… wow.”
He sat silent, staring blankly at the camera without his usual theatrics.
Just pure, unfiltered admiration.
“No… how… how did he do that…?”
It was always the same question.
Seo Jun kept showing plays that demanded the question: how?
And yet he couldn’t help but ask it again.

-how is he so accurate in the smoke????
-everyone watching this is gonna feel like there’s a massive wall between them and other players right?
-honestly the strongest players have already felt the wall before, from the history books lmao
-so is he just the Geomsin or what lol

When Seo Jun came up the Stairway, he defended against every hit precisely with his Frying Pan at the exact vital points being targeted.
It seemed he’d identified enemy positions from the moment the smoke grenades were thrown and bullets started peppering his surroundings.
Then he systematically dealt with the people.
He approached while defending, and whenever an outline became visible, he fired—repeating that cycle endlessly.
Naturally, he couldn’t dodge every bullet perfectly.
But that was expected. What was chilling was that Seo Jun’s movements showed not a shred of hesitation.
As if he could see.
“If you close your eyes and move around, anyone would hesitate! Because if you bump your shin on something while walking blind, it hurts like hell!”

-well in a game the pain is probably weaker but still scary
-but what about the owner of the room?????

It was incomprehensible.
Even those called eccentrics or superhuman beings probably hadn’t reached this level of mastery.
“Are you seriously saying he remembers his past life and is the Geomsin? Because otherwise it doesn’t make sense—”

-has to be a martial arts master otherwise it makes no sense
-uh oh bang ju, you dumbass. you thought you were being clever by saying it outright to throw off suspicion, didn’t you. well, you should’ve been way more suspicious from the start
-finally exposed the identity of the scammer who was doing it all solo lol bang ju’s done for
-lmaooooo you idiots talking about martial arts masters now

He played the video again.
Seo Jun truly moved as if he could see. He turned precisely in front of terrain and obstacles.
No groping, no fumbling.
He simply dodged as if it were natural that something was there, and when special forces attacked at strange empty air and the direction of sounds, he blocked their vital points and took brief cover behind obstructions before moving on.
‘Can anyone else analyze this? Really?’
Simple.
Maybe in his past life, he was a martial arts master who could see whether there was light or not, and his enemies were ordinary people who couldn’t.

They didn’t know how Seo Jun did it either, and now that the smoke was gone, there was no need to analyze his movements.
Instead, the streamers who had taken hiatuses started broadcasting again.

Either way, the streamers were back on air, and they had no choice but to comment on the newly posted gameplay.
And their unanimous reaction was:

[He does everything with eyes closed, what’s smoke to him]
[Analysts: can’t analyze]
[Amazing but we’ve just become reaction bots repeating the same thing lmao]

The day wound down.
The next day.
Seo Jun began making good on his telegraphed intentions.
By “telegraphed intentions,” he meant:

[The owner grabbed his Frying Pan and left after telling his teammates to do their jobs lmaooooooo]

The threat that was Seo Jun could appear at any moment.
If Seo Jun showed up mid-raid?
Based on his past behavior, he’d probably first help the attacking team.
Help them completely annihilate the defending side.
Then attack the offense team.

So everyone was cautious.
Some casual teams probably didn’t even log in.
They were avoiding his playtime.
Even Seo Jun couldn’t manage solo raids.
It consumed too much time.
But as Seo Jun’s playtime windows passed, people faced a different problem.
It was good they avoided major damage from him.
But what happened when teams that avoided connecting altogether ended up converging at the same time?
The map was large, but the high-Tier Farming Sites were limited.
The remaining teams began competing for leftover Resources.
Seo Jun’s team, meanwhile, completed their work without any real competition.
A strange situation had emerged.

==
Each team normally deters and raids one another, but the team that should be deterred is too strong—no one wants to challenge them.
Because ranks 2, 3, 4 fighting each other only helps rank 1.
But if things keep going this way, we’re still just helping rank 1.
You see the competition rate?
Six teams fighting over two Tier 3 Farming Sites at the same time lmaooooooooooo
==

-how do we even beat this?
-if we all raid together, can we win?

-this really needs a proper raid but it’s Tier 4 so…
└why tier 4?
└tier 4’s resource efficiency is worse for what you put in, true, but you can expand your house way bigger. turrets get a little stronger too and you can place more
└so tier 4 is good then?
└the resources it takes are insane so tier 3 is enough. though if you’ve already gone tier 4 you’re ahead of others for sure. weapon level and wall level don’t change though. except the Frying Pan.
└just the King Frying Pan lmaooo

And the sixth day that somehow just slipped by.
Four days remained, and it was time for intense competition.
But the teams never gathered.
And they didn’t properly show up during Seo Jun’s active hours either.

-lmao that guy’s just fucking scary
-he’s definitely preparing something big! though they don’t seem to be cooperating!

The eighth day was no different.
Though it wasn’t as if nothing happened.
Seo Jun continued prowling around with his Frying Pan, and there were several skirmishes.
No team openly declared they’d hunt Seo Jun, but when fighting broke out, they fought back desperately.
Of course, Seo Jun had never been defeated.
More precisely, he’d never died.
In the end:
The server fell silent whenever Seo Jun was present.
And viewers’ desired uprisings against the owner never materialized, and the ninth day ended as well.
What little combat occurred only happened after Seo Jun vanished, and combat without him wasn’t particularly entertaining.
Like a tiger’s den without the tiger, the underlings playing king.
This too was remarkable.
No—more than remarkable.
There were four teams of the same caliber as the Plunderers, and they were all avoiding him.
It should’ve been time to band together and make a real attempt at turnover.

[These bastards lmaooooooooooooo they can’t even gather because they’re afraid they’d lose even together, right???]

-that’s not it
-lmao (deepfake of Seo Jun in an apron frying an egg with his Frying Pan) which is scarier?
└(photo of a Viking wielding an axe) which?
└the first one
└the first one
└obviously the first
└these guys are actually too scared to gather because they’re afraid of the owner huh lmao
