Episode 181: Uninvited Guest (3)
【The Deranged Killer… ‘Butcher’ Real Combat First Revealed!】
When the video first surfaced, most people didn’t believe it.
Though Butcher was a well-known figure, no proper footage of him had ever been released before.
@espresso_s12: Damn, another clickbait video lol
@RatMouse_Thunder_a21: If you’re gonna fish for views, at least impersonate Baek-ryul or Go Dan-hae, you idiot.
So most people just left comments without watching the video.
They assumed it was just another low-quality bait video that frequently appeared on YouTube.
Of course, some people did watch it.
But they didn’t believe the video either.
They simply watched it to pass the time.
@Puppy_Cute_b23: Why is the video so short?
@Park Tae-sung_n32: The filming is absolutely terrible. There’s no editing at all. They’re uploading videos this carelessly?
It was a short video, less than five minutes long.
Moreover, compared to videos uploaded by other guilds, the cinematography was lacking.
It was nothing more than raw footage of the combat scene.
Normally, such videos would be buried under complete indifference.
But the atmosphere gradually shifted.
@Espresso_s12: Wait, is that really Butcher? How did they even film this?
@RatMouse_Thunder_a21: Who throws a hand axe so recklessly like that?
@Puppy_Cute_b23: He’s taking them all down by himself?
Even those who had initially left critical comments completely changed their tone once the video ended.
@Espresso_s12: Damn, this is insane.
Not many people had watched the video.
But every single one of them shared it in the communities they used.
Thanks to this, Butcher’s video spread rapidly.
Among those communities was the Hunter Community.
-Anonymous: Butcher’s video dropped? Is it another bait video?
-Anonymous: I heard even Unique-grade recording items go haywire around him. How did they manage to upload footage of Butcher?
-DTD: No way, it’s real? It’s actually real Butcher footage.
The Hunter Community users, who had been suffering from a drought of fresh content, immediately latched onto the video.
-Anonymous: Wow, he doesn’t hesitate at all before throwing a hand axe at people?
-Anonymous: It’s not a hand axe—it looks like a cannonball flying through the air.
-Jewelry Lover: Wow… So the rumors were true. He really is a homicidal maniac desperate to kill people.
All the users who watched the video were struck with profound shock.
They had confirmed that the rumors circulating until now were true.
In fact, the rumors had been understated.
-Strawberry Cheese : Wait, isn’t this the Mega Hidden Stage that was discovered this time?
-King Burger : If it’s a Mega Hidden Stage… that means all the ones we’re dealing with right now are Middle Layer Awakened?
-Anonymous : But wasn’t this Hidden Stage supposed to only allow Lower Layer Awakened to participate?
└King Burger : What?
└Strawberry Cheese : What?
That meant a Lower Layer Awakened had just massacred Middle Layer Awakened single-handedly.
It was absurd, but with the footage as proof, there was no choice but to believe it.
Thus, all the users on the Hunter Community fell into chaos.
* * *
Thanks to the Hunter Community, the Butcher’s video rapidly accumulated views.
As a result, it began appearing in the algorithms of YouTube users worldwide.
@mim3367 : What is this video? Why did it show up in my algorithm?
@Fireplace4K : These are East Asian Awakened? Which country was this filmed in?
└@Sujoy-d56 : Based on the title being in Korean, it looks like it was filmed in South Korea!
└@berfinyusufhan : South Korea? That’s a backward Awakened nation. If it’s from there, there’s no need to watch. Total waste of time.
Foreigners showed little interest in the video.
It had been a long time since South Korean Awakened had made any notable impact on the world stage after the 0th Generation.
There was no reason for them to feel interested in footage from a South Korean Awakened.
But once the video actually started playing, they couldn’t help but be drawn in instantly.
@120kuki : He’s literally smashing a hand axe into people, right?
@Hanan : Does this Korean have no hesitation about killing people?
@wikiki : What exactly is this Crazy Murderer?
The Butcher’s overwhelming performance completely captivated people’s hearts.
Just who was this Korean?
And what was this video?
Foreigners couldn’t contain their curiosity and began investigating.
@BILAL : Apparently it’s footage of South Korea, North Korea, and China having a battle.
@narjess-k22 : Idiot. It’s clearly South Korean military training footage.
But since the video had been uploaded less than 24 hours ago, all sorts of nonsense was flying around.
@Remot : Just asked my Korean friend about this.
└@Remot : Apparently a Mega Hidden Stage was recently discovered in South Korea. This video was filmed there.
└@Remot : Only Lower Layer Awakened could participate in that Hidden Stage. The quest was about surviving monster waves. But you know who appeared in the final wave?
└@Remot : Middle Layer Awakened showed up! And the quest objective changed to surviving against the Middle Layer Awakened!
└@MRoyuz : So right now a Lower Layer Awakened is slaughtering Middle Layer Awakened? Say something that makes sense.
└@MELOCOCO : Since it’s foreign footage, everyone’s just spouting off whatever without knowing anything.
While some people did find accurate information, most didn’t believe it.
A Lower Layer Awakened unilaterally overwhelming Middle Layer Awakened?
It was just as absurd and ridiculous as the nonsense that had come before.
@MichaelAlchen : This place is full of idiots. Even when someone says something right, nobody understands it.
@MalcolmBernard : I looked it up and it’s true—a Hidden Stage that only allows Lower Layer Awakened to participate actually opened in South Korea.
@はるかみゆき : The people dying in the video are all Middle Layer Awakened. I know well since I’m an Awakened myself.
Of course, there were those who saw through the truth.
@MichaelAlchen : Fuck! I can’t believe what I’m seeing with my own eyes. A Lower Layer Awakened pushing back Middle Layer Awakened? And not just one or two, but dozens?
@MalcolmBernard : These aren’t ordinary Middle Layer Awakened. Their stats are high, and their item quality is exceptional. Most of all, they seem accustomed to killing.
@はるかみゆき : It seems like they’re not quite at the Established rank, but close to it… They’re being overwhelmed helplessly.
Starting with three people, increasingly more began confirming that this video was genuine.
By this point, others couldn’t help but believe it.
@MRoyuz : But when this Crazy Murderer throws the axe, it looks like three fly out simultaneously. Did my eyes deceive me?
└@wikiki : You mean at 3 minutes 21 seconds? You didn’t see wrong. He really only threw once, but three came out.
└@BILAL : What kind of skill is this? Or an item?
└@MalcolmBernard : It appears he possesses a Mythic-grade item.
└@BILAL : What do you mean by Mythic-grade? Isn’t Legendary the highest?
└@MalcolmBernard : Legendary is indeed the highest. However, items related to divinity among them possess far superior abilities.
└@MalcolmBernard : They’re also much harder to obtain. That’s why we call them Mythic-grade for convenience.
└@BILAL : This Crazy fucking murderer has such an amazing item? I’m so fucking jealous.
Even at this moment, the view count was rising sharply.
The people who arrived later were equally shocked watching the video.
@supiro : A new monster has been born in South Korea, following Baek-ryul and Go Dan-hae.
@Konul : I heard the World Game is being held this year. South Korea won’t be easy to dismiss this time.
The more comments poured in, the more sharply the view count rose.
What started at ten thousand views instantly became three hundred thousand. And in the blink of an eye, it surpassed one million.
Thus, Butcher’s video spread across the entire world.
* * *
The next morning.
Upon waking, Mincheol opened his Inventory first and retrieved the items.
They were the Legendary-grade items I had obtained yesterday.
“Mmhehehehe.”
My face was filled with happiness as I examined the items.
【White Tiger Sword】
-Grade : Legendary
-Description : A sword bestowed by an Emperor upon the bodyguard who saved him. Worthy of being called the finest blade under heaven.
-Effect 1. All stats increase by 100.
-Effect 2. Skill ‘Triple Wind Slash’ can be activated.
【Commander-in-Chief’s Military Boots】
-Grade : Legendary
-Description : Military boots worn by the Kingdom’s Commander-in-Chief. Specialized in disciplining subordinates.
-Effect 1. Health increases by ‘200’.
-Effect 2. Upon equipping, overall weight is reduced.
-Effect 3. Skill ‘Joint Breaking’ can be activated.
Yesterday, I hadn’t properly confirmed the effects these items possessed.
Looking at them again today, they were all extraordinary.
‘I’ll need to use the skills myself to know for sure, but just seeing the stat increases confirms they’re Legendary grade.’
The Curved Blade raised all my abilities by 100 each.
The Military Boots increased only my health by 200.
‘I can’t wait to test them out.’
I was grinning at the items when Bokdol-i approached me.
“Wow, are those the items you got this time?”
Bokdol-i came over while preparing dinner.
Using Ramakan’s floating ability, of course.
“Yeah, pretty cool, right?”
“Really awesome! A Curved Blade and Military Boots! They’re perfect weapons for you since you mainly use dual swords and kicks! There’s a saying in this dimension about giving a tiger wings, right? That’s exactly what this is for you!”
I turned to Bokdol-i with a wry expression.
It was nice to have the support, but… why was the flattery so excessive?
“I’ve been wondering since last time… where did you learn to flatter people like this?”
“This can’t be called flattery! The dictionary definition of flattery is to agree with someone’s metaphors and fawn over them! But you’re truly an amazing person, Master! So this isn’t flattery—it’s just stating facts!”
That definitely sounds like flattery to me.
But since it didn’t feel bad even knowing that, I decided to let it slide.
‘Is this how emperors felt when they were played by flatterers?’
I was feeling oddly conflicted when Bokdol-i flew back to the kitchen.
Bokdol-i resumed cooking.
Unlike Iron Doll that I used before, Ramakan could perform delicate movements with its fingers.
I watched Bokdol-i cook from my bed.
‘Come to think of it, I didn’t summon Bokdol-i this time.’
I had secured Ramakan to use in dangerous situations.
Yet when I fought the Middle Layer Awakened this time, I didn’t use Bokdol-i.
Except for that initial moment of panic, I simply hadn’t felt any real sense of danger.
‘Was fighting Middle Layer Awakened easier than I thought?’
I let out a quiet chuckle.
Multiple Middle Layer Awakened swarming me, and I hadn’t considered it a crisis.
‘Whatever. The result was right, so that’s what matters.’
With that thought, I picked up my smartphone.
“Snore…”
With Kkwaekkwi sleeping now, this was the perfect time to use my phone.
Normally, Kkwaekkwi monopolized it.
When I opened the phone, headlines flooded the screen.
Normally I would have just ignored them.
But this time, I couldn’t.
-[Breaking News] ‘Butcher’ Video Released for the First Time!
-The World Shocked by ‘Butcher’ Video Release.
-3 Million Views Overnight! How Far Will the Butcher’s Impact Reach?
My eyes widened in disbelief.
As I read through the titles one by one, I couldn’t help but let out an exasperated comment.
“What in the world is happening now!”
