Chapter 85
The massive screen hanging from the station ceiling, the billboards wrapping around the pillars, even the platform board announcing train arrivals—everything displayed the same message.
[The Throne’s Master has been decided.]
[Glory to the King of ‘Seoul’! Chicken Bulssdagu!]
[The Throne’s Master has been decided.]
[Glory to the King of ‘Seoul’! Chicken Bulssdagu!]
Across Seoul Station, bearing the raw scars of battle, the massive golden victory proclamation was etched like a charter for a new city.
“Wow. This is insane.”
Did that message appear on every single display in Seoul Station?
Even the ranking board showed the victory message.
[The Throne’s Master has been decided.]
[Glory to the King of ‘Seoul’! Chicken Bulssdagu!]
It was an unexpectedly grand, magnificent, and elaborate shower of congratulations.
Red Star, nearly lost in euphoria, let out a fervent cheer and darted rapidly around me.
【Kyahahaha! This is the best! Truly the best!】
Whoooosh—
At that moment, the gray texture blanketing the sky above the tightly sealed KTX Train cracked like glass.
Soon it shattered and crumbled away.
Crash!
“Haaah….”
I slowly knelt down, releasing my sword and wiping my face.
The gray sky lifted, and beyond it, a real sky so brilliantly clear and blue it stung my eyes came into view.
The Arena had definitely reconnected to reality.
“…It’s over.”
Soon, people would be able to leave the station again.
And I had won my first main tournament match.
“I won—!!”
How long had it been since I felt this exhilarating, sweet, and familiar rush of victory?
This was it.
This sensation, as thrilling as an Olympic gold medal.
My heart, which seemed destined to rot away forever in that semi-basement corner room, was soaring high into the sky alongside the golden ceremony.
“Roooaaar—!!”
I roared like a lion.
I, who didn’t even have a ranking in the Battle Royale, had swept through all the prestigious Rankers in this event and claimed first place.
The chat cascading down like a waterfall celebrated alongside me.

Victory was mine.
* * *
I left Sword Dragon behind, thoroughly intoxicated with his championship glory, and logged out in haste.
“Coins! My coins!”
From my experience, settlements always came through quickly.
By now, the coins should have arrived at the Coin Market.
Could I really exceed fifty thousand coins as Kkolkkalpi had boldly promised?
My heart raced.
“Ha, ha… I’m, I’m trembling.”
Since I couldn’t see the Constellations with my own eyes, I had no way of knowing how many spectators had come.
Or how many coins they’d sponsored me with.
I only knew that according to the contract I’d made with the Constellations, the coins they were meant to receive would be automatically settled and transferred to me.
I wasn’t sure if Kkolkkalpi had truly kept the promise she’d made with me.
‘This is absolutely insane.’
For someone like me—unranked in the Battle Royale—to win in my first tournament was a result no one could have possibly imagined.
Anyone who’d bet on me would have made a fortune.
Sigh. Breath.
After taking several deep breaths.
“…Coin Market.”
I opened it.
The balance displayed at the bottom of the Coin Market showed my total coins as.
[Remaining Coins: 255,121C]
“…?”
My mind went blank for a moment.
What Kkolkkalpi had promised me was that through her sponsorship, I’d be guaranteed to settle at least fifty thousand coins.
But my coin account showed two hundred fifty thousand.
‘Am I dreaming?’
It was far more than I’d anticipated.
My wildest expectation, even abandoning all conscience, had been eighty thousand.
Yet no matter how many times I looked, the number of coins displayed in the Coin Market remained unchanged.
[Remaining Coins: 255,121C]
I pinched my cheek and twisted it, muttering vacantly.
“…250,000 coins?”
This wasn’t a dream.
“?”
This was reality.
250,000 coins.
Even after fixing my legs five times over, I’d still have 5,000 coins left—enough to claim a billion won in cash. It was an astronomical sum.

“Hunter Baek Hee-an. We’ll take you directly to Seoul Station.”
Police officers were waiting in front of my home.
Baek Hee-an rode a motorcycle with the police officers toward Seoul Station.
‘Joo Hyun-soo is in danger.’
My deduction from within the Game had proven precisely correct.
[EMERGENCY ALERT — Seoul Station]
[This is Seoul Station. The Game tournament’s arena has overlapped with Seoul Station. A Gate has opened in the real world, not the Game. The NPCs’ true identities are citizens.]
[All of Seoul Station has become a dungeon. All entrances are sealed. Hundreds of civilians are trapped inside.]
[Emergency Support Requested]
[Hunters who have logged out from the Game, please provide support to Seoul Station immediately. The government has issued an emergency Hunter deployment order. All Seoul Metropolitan Area Guilds are being mobilized.]
The moment I powered on my phone after logging out of the Game, alarms flooded in.
Emergency disaster alerts had arrived as well.
[【EMERGENCY DISASTER ALERT】
At 15:25 today, an anomalous spatial distortion of unknown origin occurred in the Seoul Station area. Entry into the station is prohibited. Nearby residents must evacuate immediately and refrain from approaching.
Partial sections of subway and train service are under control. Further guidance will be provided.]
The world had descended into chaos.
Vroooom—
While riding the motorcycle, Baek Hee-an’s phone rang.
[“Hunter Baek Hee-an, are you currently—”]
“I’ve already departed on the motorcycle.”
[“Thank you.”]
Click.
The NPCs in the Game were actually citizens trapped in Seoul Station.
‘What happens to Joo Hyun-soo?’
Battle Royale.
The standard way to end the tournament is for all players except one to die.
But if Joo Hyun-soo fails to end the tournament, then five Gates will open in the next event.
Five S-rank Gates, no less.
‘No matter how urgent things are, if he kills me there….’
It’s dangerous.
For Joo Hyun-soo alone, or even with the remaining few players, to handle all five S-rank Gates would not be easy.
Throb.
In the Game World, Baek Hee-an felt the area where the blade had struck throbbing painfully.
‘Why does this hurt so much?’
Of course, Baek Hee-an understood intellectually why Joo Hyun-soo had done it.
Despite the danger, it was to end the Tournament quickly, and probably because he needed the prize money.
“….”
Baek Hee-an’s lips pressed shut.
His face bore the expression of someone hurt and offended—unilaterally cut off from the Fair and killed.
Screech—
The motorcycle came to a stop.
“That’s….”
The Police Officer, who had maintained silence the entire ride, murmured.
Seoul Station.
“!”
Baek Hee-an’s eyes widened.
[Bow before the King of Seoul, ‘Chicken Bulssdagu’. Your Fate rests in her hands.]
[Worship the master of the throne, dedicate everything to her.]
[Bow before the King of Seoul, ‘Chicken Bulssdagu’. Your Fate rests in her hands.]
[Worship the master of the throne, dedicate everything to her.]
The massive display screens across Seoul Station’s front, the Platform information boards, the advertisement panels on the station pillars, the screens on the building’s exterior.
Golden text blanketed every corner of Seoul Station.
‘Did Joo Hyun-soo pull this off?’
Game System messages announcing Chicken Bulssdagu’s victory covered every display screen throughout Seoul Station.
‘How is the Game System even capable of….’
It was a bizarre phenomenon, but the people inside and outside the station had no time to dwell on it.
Those who had been trapped inside the station and miraculously survived reunited with their families, weeping and laughing as they embraced one another.
Wee-ooo-wee-ooo!
Police vehicles, fire trucks, and emergency medical vehicles surrounded Seoul Station’s building.
They continued to pour in endlessly.
“Hunter Baek!”
Guild officials spotted Baek Hee-an and rushed over.
“The Game is over! With Chicken’s victory, the dimensional interference has dissipated! The spatial overlap has been resolved, and entry is now possible!”
“…Ah.”
It was extraordinary good news.
Regardless of Baek Hee-an’s sense of betrayal, Joo Hyun-soo’s choice proved to be the wise one.
“Joo—no, thank goodness.”
Baek Hee-an caught himself about to search for Joo Hyun-soo first, quickly changing his words.
Unlike the others who were on-site, Joo Hyun-soo had been in the Game World, so he’d likely logged out by now.
“And miraculously, there hasn’t been a single casualty.”
“…What?”
It was nonsensical.
The horrific scene Baek Hee-an had witnessed inside Seoul Station flashed through his mind.
“That can’t be….”
Joo Hyun-soo’s bold gamble had succeeded, and the tournament ended swiftly.
Yet because it was the Game System, only the blood remained invisible—but the landscape he had witnessed during the tournament alone was an absolute catastrophe.
