Chapter 209: Another Achievement First Accomplished by the Swordsman

Immortal Realm.

The Swordsman was very satisfied seeing the tremendous reaction in the chat window.

With this, Achievement accomplished.

The first Immortal to broadcast live from the Immortal Realm to Earth.

So striking while the iron is hot, he continued interviewing Cheonin Baek Hong-pyo.

“To think you ended up like that while trying to move a bomb, what a truly tearful spirit of sacrifice. Oh! I heard rumors that you didn’t completely die?”

“Yes, I heard there was a mistake. Originally, I should have returned to my body as a soul, but the situation wasn’t favorable, so I received a new body for now.”

“Tsk tsk, that’s how Hwangcheon-gye always does things.”

“…May I go now? I have urgent business to attend to.”

“Ah! Sorry. Go handle your business quickly. Just say hello to the viewers.”

Baek Hong-pyo bowed to the smartphone and moved away from the Swordsman.

But who are the viewers?

Looking at the screen, it seemed like YouTube Live, but surely it couldn’t be Earth viewers.

The Swordsman kept talking without rest.

Because there must be no gaps in the audio.

Viewers are ruthless.

If they get bored, they leave immediately.

“When we say Hwangcheon-gye here, we’re talking about the Underworld. The place you come to after death, most souls reincarnate, sinners go to Hell, and a very small number become Cheonin and go to Cheon-gye… Ah!”

It seems he spotted someone else.

“Kang Rim! Come over here.”

“Huh? What’s the matter, Swordsman?”

“Let’s do an interview with me.”

“…What’s this all of a sudden?”

Kang Rim was about to enter the multiplex but approached hesitantly at the Swordsman’s call.

“This fellow is called Gangrim Chasa. He’s in charge of commanding the Jeoseungsaja and managing Hell. Think of him as a high-ranking civil servant of Hwangcheon-gye.”

Kang Rim had an expression of not understanding what was going on.

“…Are you filming a movie right now?”

“Something like that.”

“Aha! You’re practicing for when you go to Earth later to do live broadcasts.”

“Hmm, it is a live broadcast.”

“Hahaha, that sounds fun. A live broadcast with imaginary viewers.”

What do you mean imaginary?

There are real viewers here.

└ Hell?

└ I absolutely can’t believe it? Heaven and Hell?

└ Me neither, it’s not like it’s a fairy tale from a morality textbook.

└ Hey, would the afterlife really exist?

└ Even if it exists, that’s a different world. It has nothing to do with us.

└ Then what about Mr. Baek Hong-pyo?

└ Well, didn’t you hear him say there was a mistake?

The Swordsman glanced at the chat window and asked Kang Rim.

“Kang Rim, I have something to ask.”

“Yes.”

“Why do souls from Earth come over to Hwangcheon-gye?”

“Well, it’s because we’re connected to Earth. Honestly, I’m worried sick because of that.”

“Worried?”

Kang Rim continued while sighing deeply.

“It’s welcome when Cheonin come over here, but those damn Earth sinners are also coming. Hell is already cramped enough as it is.”

“Earth sinners… Ah! Those bastards involved in the bomb terror?”

“That’s right. Hu Dong-pyeong, Kimura, Tsuchida, these three bastards for now, but there might be more in the future. I heard Earth is crawling with bastards called Mages too.”

The chat window exploded again.

Especially the reaction from Samhan Empire citizens was even more intense.

└ It was real?

└ I knew Kimura and Tsuchida died, but they went to Hell?

└ Who’s Hu Dong-pyeong?

└ There’s someone worse than Mages, a mind manipulation Awakened Guard.

└ Wow! This isn’t fairy tale level.

└ But Hell seems like a decent place? Anyway, it means you can live there with your memories.

└ There’s even a saying that Hell is better than boring Heaven.

Hell is good?

There’s a limit to delusions.

The Swordsman smiled grimly and asked Kang Rim.

“But what kind of punishment do you receive if you go to Hell?”

“Why are you asking? Acting all surprised… when you know everything.”

“Just asking you to tell some stories.”

“Well, I’ll explain it simply.”

Suddenly!

Swoosh!

Kang Rim’s expression changed ominously as he entered Hell administrator mode.

The appearance of a demon from a horror movie.

Even his voice became chilling.

“First, when they receive a Hell sentence, they get a sinner’s body.”

“What kind of body?”

“A very tough and sturdy body.”

“Oh! Isn’t that good?”

“Instead, it’s a body specialized for the sensation of pain. So sensitive that even a light prick with a needle would make them foam at the mouth.”

“Oh no!”

The Swordsman’s appropriate reaction.

“I guarantee it. In just 10 minutes, they’ll be begging to be killed instead. But would we kill them easily? For 1 year, 10 years, 100 years, daily unending pain will gnaw at their body and mind. And they’ll slowly lose their sense of self. They won’t realize who they are or why they’re receiving such pain.”

Encouraged by this, Kang Rim continued excitedly.

“Of course, they’ll regain their sanity intermittently. Human souls are tougher than you’d think. The moment their mind returns, they’ll realize their self-identity and the reason they fell to Hell. At the same time, they’ll shed tears and regret it. Though it won’t be of much use.”

“Is that the end?”

“Not at all. Now the real laundry begins.”

As the ghostly aura on his face became even more eerie.

“Hell isn’t just one place. When they adapt, they’re moved to a higher Hell. Continuously… Time to think? Contemplation of life? None of that exists. They’ll only think about how to escape this pain. And would time pass quickly? An hour will feel like a year.”

“After repeating this, they’ll completely lose their sense of self, and when the color of sins painted during their lifetime is erased, they’ll finally be given the qualification for reincarnation.”

The Swordsman trembled and asked.

“How terrifying. I almost went to Hell once due to a mistake, but who mainly goes there?”

“Well, those who did bad things.”

“Always?”

“Of course, simple bad deeds aren’t nearly enough. Only sinners whose souls are stained with evil and reek of it! Actually, minor evil deeds disappear when balanced against good deeds. No need to even wash them.”

“Aha! So Hell’s purpose was ultimately laundry.”

“You have to wash dirty things before using them.”

Suddenly the chat window went completely silent.

Amazingly, no one posted anything.

“Kang Rim, that was a beneficial interview. Go have a cocktail under my name from Ju-seon.”

“Hehe, well then…”

Posts started appearing about 10 seconds later.

└ I absolutely don’t believe it.

└ Me too.

└ I’ll believe in Immortals and Jecheon Daeseong, but not Hell.

└ No, if you believed that, why can’t you believe in Hell?

└ It’s not that they don’t believe it, they just don’t want to believe it.

└ I believe it. What should I do first to go to Heaven?

└ It’s probably too late already. Just pray you don’t go to Hell.

└ Don’t be ridiculous! Now that it’s come to this, my life’s purpose is to become a celestial being.

└ Think you can do it?

After sending Gangrim away like that.

Another Immortal got caught in Swordsman’s radar network.

“Hey! Jongri Seonin! Are you busy?”

“Hm? It’s Swordsman. I have someone to meet at the Seon-gye Cafe.”

“Who?”

“That Ha Seon-go keeps pestering me to buy her a latte… She thinks she’s Haemak-i.”

“Tsk tsk, if you keep giving in, she’ll get spoiled.”

“That’s what I’m saying!”

Then casually.

“Jongri, how about showing us some transformation magic after so long?”

“Suddenly?”

“I was thinking of introducing the viewers to what immortal arts are like.”

“What? Viewers?”

“Can’t you see this?”

Jongri Seonin carefully examined the smartphone screens flying around.

“…Huh?”

What is this?

“Really?”

“Look. Your name is being mentioned right now.”

“Huh?”

└ Transformation magic? Jongri Seonin?

└ Is it similar to polymorph?

└ Well, that’s pretty ordinary.

└ Instead of Jongri Seonin, please show us Jecheon Daeseong.

└ Right. Where did our Tujeonsseungbul go?

Jongri Seonin got fired up.

No, there’s nothing to compare…

“What do I lack compared to that monkey!”

Poof! Poof poof!

From a tiny insect to a mouse, cow, rabbit, pig, goat, and so on, Jongri continuously moved his body, displaying transformation magic.

Swordsman was pleased.

These suckers who work so hard with just a little provocation.

It’s safe to say content is scattered everywhere like this.

Is it just the Immortal Realm?

Hwangcheon-gye, Cheon-gye, Hwansu Realm, Yoma Realm…

Oh, just thinking about it makes it feel grand.

More and more viewers were flocking in.

Donations were exploding tremendously too.

‘This is all my money, right?’

Since the account is already set up, deposits should come in soon.

With this money, I can buy things from Earth.

Watches and bikes, sports cars, collecting is all possible.

Shopping with a smartphone, delivery address to Kim Tae-ju’s residence, then later negotiate separately to request Immortal Realm delivery service?

‘The era of direct purchasing from Earth shopping malls will open.’

However, his expression soon hardened.

Even if it gets delivered, it will come to Dok-seon’s Shared Warehouse anyway.

If he doesn’t allow it, Earth direct purchasing would be impossible too.

‘It’ll happen someday.’

But how was this communication connection established?

‘Well, do I need to know anyway?’

When it’s connected, let’s keep rowing without rest.

I need to suck it dry.

Right then!

“Hello! It’s Swordsman!”

Haemak Seonnyeo appeared.

“Oh no!”

Swordsman panicked.

Haemak Seonnyeo’s appearance.

She’s the final boss of the Upper Realm.

Killer content that could paralyze Earth’s internet just by appearing.

But it’s too early.

A card that should be saved.

Reactions were already coming in the chat.

└ It’s a woman?

└ A woman and she’s pretty?

└ A woman, pretty, and cute?

└ A woman, pretty, equipped with cuteness, and looks kind?

Turn the camera first.

Spot!

Swordsman ran away to avoid Haemak.

“Why are you running away? Do you dislike me?”

“L-let’s meet next time.”

└ Stop!

└ No, why are you running away?

└ Swordsman, please interview her quickly.

└ Just show us her face, just her face!

└ If you’re going to do this, just hand the smartphone to that woman.

The rumor that Swordsman was communicating with Earth through live broadcast spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm.

And during this short time of live broadcasting, Earth was also in chaos.

* * *

Tae-ju hadn’t subscribed to Swordsman’s live channel.

It wasn’t that he deliberately didn’t do it, but because he was always with him when he broadcast, he didn’t have the chance.

So he learned about Swordsman’s Immortal Realm live broadcast through Baek Seo-yeon.

And that was less than an hour after putting the internet cable into the hole.

“Chairman!”

“Whoa, you startled me. What’s the matter that you’re so surprised…”

“L-look at this.”

Tae-ju looked at the tablet Baek Seo-yeon handed him.

“…Huh?”

It was Swordsman’s live broadcast.

Baek Hong-pyo hyung appeared too.

And even Gangrim Chasa.

“Not a recording but a live stream?”

“Yes! That’s right.”

Wait, how long has it been connected?

Swordsman really was an amazing immortal in many ways.

It’s not like I didn’t expect this to happen.

Eventually, the existence of the Immortal Realm, Hwangcheon-gye, Cheon-gye, Hwansu Realm, and Yoma Realm would all be revealed.

But this is too fast.

Also, we haven’t even discussed how much should be revealed.

What if he exposes the existence of the Upper Realms like that?

‘Does Dok-seon know?’

So I tried sending a message.

[Tae-ju]: Dok-seon.

[Dok-seon]: Hm? What’s wrong?

[Tae-ju]: Did you happen to see this?

Ding.

[Tae-ju]: Swordsman’s Immortal Realm Live Channel (link)

Then.

[Dok-seon]: Hah, this crazy bastard!

[Tae-ju]: This is really bad, isn’t it?

[Dok-seon]: Of course it’s bad!

I could feel Danggumak’s anger directly.

[Dok-seon]: Using data without paying the fees?

[Tae-ju]: What?

[Dok-seon]: Even if he has a SIM card, this isn’t right. Immortal Realm rates are separately calculated.

[Tae-ju]: Wait, are you angry because of that?

[Dok-seon]: Hm? Is there something else wrong besides that?

‘…’

I have nothing to say.

Swordsman’s wrongdoing was ultimately this.

The crime of using the communication network without paying fees.

‘This is driving me crazy.’

This won’t do.

I need to step in directly and at least establish some basic guidelines.

[Tae-ju]: Swordsman, may I handle the problem myself?

[Dok-seon]: Hm? Do as you please.

[Tae-ju]: I’ll contact you again after handling it. We should also discuss Immortal Realm communication regulations.

Right now is the early stage.

If I don’t do anything, it’ll become a complete mess.

Haemak might be okay, but…

What if he ends up broadcasting Taesang Nogoon, Seo Wang-mo, Dragon King, Yama, and Sangje?

‘That absolutely cannot happen.’

Are those ordinary beings?

Just appearing on a broadcast could cause problems.

To Tae-ju, Earth, the Immortal Realm, Cheon-gye, and Hwangcheon-gye are all equally precious.

‘I’m sorry, Swordsman. You’ll have to be made an example of this time.’

Tae-ju asked Baek Seo-yeon.

“We can contact the telecom company we contracted with, right?”

“Yes, we can.”

“Could you relay a message to the person in charge there?”

“What kind?”

This is very heartbreaking, but…

“Tell them to suspend Swordsman’s phone, right now.”

“Oh my? Really?”

“Also add that they absolutely must not restore it until I give permission.”

“Ah, understood.”

There’s no choice.

I need to establish at least minimal safety measures before starting the service.

* * *

Swordsman is doing a live broadcast from the Immortal Realm.

The rumor spread rapidly.

“What? The Immortal Realm and Earth are connected through the internet?”

“Hehe, Jongri, what kind of nonsense are you talking about.”

“You were fooled by Swordsman.”

“Tsk tsk, believing a con artist’s words?”

Jongri Seonin beat his chest as if frustrated, appealing his grievance.

“It’s true! I saw it clearly with these two eyes!”

“Come on, no way…”

“You can just go and check for yourself.”

Right.

That would work.

The Immortals rushed over in a crowd.

Swordsman was in Seongyeworld.

He was introducing Seongyeworld while operating his smartphone with telekinesis.

“Hey, Swordsman! What’s going on?”

“I heard communication with Earth has been connected?”

“Is it true?”

“We demand an explanation.”

Swordsman smiled smugly.

These pitiful people who don’t even have LTE SIM cards have come.

“Of course I have it. I’m live streaming right now.”

At Swordsman’s boastful words.

“Gasp!”

“R-really?”

“…Proof?”

There’s nothing he can’t show them.

“Fine, I’ll show you.”

Having done enough, he paused the live broadcast for a moment.

Swoosh!

Swordsman flew his smartphone close to the Immortals.

And when he touched the screen with his finger magic.

“T-this can’t be?”

“My goodness?”

“This actually works?”

“Look at those full signal bars.”

“…The search window opens too.”

“How?”

“My phone doesn’t work.”

“Only phones activated on Earth work?”

Ahhh!

Envious gazes poured down on him.

How thrilling is this?

This is exactly the difference in perspective between you and me.

Even among Immortals, there are different levels of class.

That’s when it happened.

Ding!

A message notification sound from the phone.

“A message came too.”

“Read it quickly.”

“Isn’t it a credit loan ad? Sent by Team Leader Kim Mi-yeong.”

“The Kim Mi-yeong we’ve only heard about?”

“Hehe, even an Immortal receives spam messages.”

“How enviable.”

Swordsman, whose nose was raised to the very top of the sky, leisurely read through the message.

“Let’s see, the content is… huh?”

What is this?

[Web Message]

[Service Suspension Notice]

– Your mobile phone will be suspended for violating the carrier’s operating policy standards. –

– Violation reason: Inappropriate live broadcast. –

“Uh, uh, uh…”

The Immortals also read the message.

“Huh? Service suspension?”

“It says operating policy violation?”

“Hehehe, I knew this would happen.”

“Of course, inappropriate indeed. Wasn’t Swordsman originally an inappropriate Immortal to begin with?”

“You could call him the epitome of inappropriateness, even Earth’s carrier companies can recognize it.”

“That’s Swordsman for you. He became the first Immortal to get his smartphone suspended.”

“A proper achievement indeed.”

“Serves you right.”

“Oh my! ‘No signal’ appeared!”

The Immortals’ mockery.

Swordsman was dazed.

But why?

Another achievement that Swordsman accomplished for the first time.

Smartphone service suspension.

“Don’t be disappointed. You were happy for a moment, wasn’t that enough?”

“Instead of this, let’s go find Dok-seon. We need to find out the reason.”

“Let’s do that.”

The Immortals left the dejected Swordsman behind and rushed off in a group again to meet Dok-seon.
