5. [Night Soul] Could It Be… A Hidden Route…？ (1)
“This Trinex thing… if I take it down without getting hit even once, how much more can you offer? Mission bonus.”
My eyes regained their spark. Anticipation gleamed in my gaze. I spoke with uncharacteristic excitement.
1.12 million won. Since broadcast donation revenue was split 50-50, assuming I cleared the mission… I’d pocket an additional 560,000 won.
Between the guest fee of 1.2 million won and the mission bonus, assuming I cleared it and received the donations, I’d be walking away with just over 1.7 million won.
Money had a way of resurrecting emotions dulled by the bitter taste of society.
-Wow.. he really turned around lol.. I’m going to catch that Trinex in Nightmare mode lol?
-In [Night Soul], there hasn’t yet been a case of a one-kill Trinex in brute mode, right? Hmm lol
-Lol, even the most talented people can’t avoid tasting bitterness with this one lol. Let’s inject some humility into them lol.
Of course, from the viewers’ perspective, this was recklessness and bravado.
Trinex had been designed from the start as an enemy players couldn’t defeat. It couldn’t appear any other way.
Haha, Trinex must look really funny, huh???????????? Show me some newbie cutter moves???
Info) Trinex, the tutorial boss of Night Soul, has never been defeated in one attempt on ‘Nightmare’ mode lol
Even if you’re not playing in hard mode at Night Soul, Trinex is just a boss mob that only top-tier veterans can barely take down lol. And you’re saying you’ll beat it without getting hit even once?? lol
The streaming window. In the chat box that appeared small in that view, opinions poured in that it was impossible. And… the big donors who’d wagered on the mission burst into laughter.
[【Let’sGoHardcore】 donated ‘1,000 won’.]
Hmm lol, just because Trinex is a tutorial boss doesn’t mean you’re supposed to catch it lol. Even hardcore players struggled and rolled around until they barely managed to catch it lol. You’re being way too arrogant.
[ donated ‘1,000 won’.]
Look, since you seem a bit clueless… lol; ‘Trinex’ isn’t a boss mob you’re supposed to catch… lol That’s just a boss mob that’s literally there for you to die to once. haha;
[【BeautifulAndHandsomeEverything】 donated ‘1,000 won’.]
━ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Trinex is on a different level from the skeletons you just faced. It’s impossible to catch it, so everyone is doing a mission.
It made sense. From the start, the viewers who’d wagered on the mission didn’t actually believe I’d succeed in taking down Trinex. If anything, the opposite was true.
Even in [Night Soul]’s easiest difficulty, ‘Daydream’ mode, defeating Trinex was something only a tiny fraction of gamers had accomplished.
Much less… defeating Trinex in [Night Soul]’s hardest difficulty, known as ‘Nightmare’ mode? Without dying even once? It was impossible.
Yet— I didn’t change my expression one bit and calmly made the proposal again.
“So… Trinex. Assuming I take it down without getting hit even once, is there no one willing to offer more mission bonus.”
Excuse me… did you just hear what I was saying?? No, I mean, that’s not a mob you’re supposed to catch!!
-Ah haha anyway they’ll catch it haha that’s some genius Neung-neung confidence right there hahahahahaha
Man, your confidence is insane though, right? I’m so curious what’ll happen if you can’t pull it off lolol
“Then… let’s do this. If I do manage to take down Trinex but get hit even once, I won’t accept the remaining mission bonus.”
-?
-Is it real? Wow.. the confidence is really manly?? This is it, this is it haha
“Well, I mean… but we can’t catch Trinex anyway, so what’s the point? Still, it’s pretty cool though lol”
“Hmm… even if [Night Soul] isn’t a difficult game, doing this much might make it harder… but apparently that’s not the case.”
-No..
-Sir, that’s why this isn’t an easy game..
-Damn talented bastard, always deceiving and messing with us!!!!
“Well. I don’t want to burden you viewers unnecessarily… so I should stop taking missions here.”
That became the catalyst. Because that meant I could naturally clear the existing missions. The viewers who heard that laughed—hehehehe—before transforming into demons.
Ding—
[【Let’s Go Hardcore】 has set ‘100,000 won’ as the mission reward.]
━Hehehehe lol??? You’re that confident????? Then let’s see this through…!!!!!!!!!!
【Mission: Defeat [Night Soul]’s tutorial boss, ‘Trinex’, without taking a single hit】
*Time Limit: 4 hours
Ding-
[【Usually Just Lurking Quietly】 has set ‘50,000 won’ as the mission reward.]
“What do you mean? Since ancient times, the cure for crazy noobs pulling stupid shit has always been extreme medicine lol. Do whatever you want kekekeke”
【Mission: Defeat [Night Soul]’s tutorial boss, ‘Trinex’, without taking a single hit】
*Time Limit: 4 hours
Ding-
[【Doji Coin Hwasung】 has set ‘50,000 won’ as the mission reward.]
━Okay… Trinex, you’re going to get a one-kill with no damage lol? There’s nothing that can’t be done.. Today, I’ll show you hell. It’s a newbie.
【Mission: Defeat [Night Soul]’s tutorial boss, ‘Trinex’, without taking a single hit】
>
*Time Limit: 4 hours
Ding- Ding- Ding-
Missions. And… the mission rewards accumulated rapidly once more, building into a substantial sum. An amount that made my eyes gleam faintly, enough to make Joo Seo-yoon gasp in shock.
[Mission]
━Objective: Defeat [Night Soul]’s tutorial boss, ‘Trinex’ without dying
━Additional Objective: Defeat [Night Soul]’s tutorial boss, ‘Trinex’ without taking a single hit
*Mission Reward: ‘1,125,000 won’
*Additional Mission Reward: ‘762,500 won’
“….”
“Thank you.”
Composure. That consistently expressionless demeanor had by now become almost brazen. Joo Seo-yoon’s mouth opened and closed, then released a hollow voice.
“Ugh… Oppa, are you serious? You… you actually believe you can clear this mission, right? Right?”
“I’m not sure what you mean. Missions are meant to be cleared, aren’t they? And with this much money on the line, I have to clear it.”
“….”
“Hmm… Does it bother you that only I’m receiving missions? Then, would you like to accept one too? The viewers are donating quite generously.”
“What are you talking about… You’ve really lost it…”
At my innocent head tilt and words, Joo Seo-yoon spoke without hesitation, her eyes glazed over in bewilderment.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
-???: You should try it too. You get money.
That’s actually hilarious lol
That crazy bastard lol
“Well… if you don’t want to, don’t. Do whatever you like.”
I tilted my head, then calmly accepted.
It was fortunate.
If she had accepted the same mission, I would have had to play defensively to protect her too… and I wasn’t confident about that.
Besides, I wanted to face the boss monster alone. It was because of my foresight ability.
‘Using this ability at full power… it’s an experience I can’t have in reality. I want to understand it while I have the chance.’
Foresight. There’s always a price for seeing and changing fate. Even if it’s something trivial.
That’s why I’ve only ever suppressed an ability I was born with—one that far exceeded what I needed—never truly unleashing it. And that was the reason.
I wanted to test it.
‘What would it feel like… to use this ability with full force instead of restraining it?’
To break free from the shackles of Foresight—the ‘Eyes that See Fate’.
* * *
The Chapel.
Having left the starting point of [Night Soul], I followed Joo Seo-yoon and began farming basic items.
Outside the Chapel. The corridor beyond was lined with skeletal remains among scattered debris and dust—this was the farming point.
[Mark of Prayer]
*Past. Evidence of prayers offered to the Sun God. A faint warmth of sunlight lingers on the worn mark. It’s the divine warmth that will never return to this world.
━On Use: Life Force +100 / Spirit Force +10
━Cooldown: 60 seconds
“You get the idea, right? The ‘Mark of Prayer’ is like a healing potion. You can use it during combat by speaking the activation phrase.”
“Ah—”
Before the skeletal remains, Joo Seo-yoon crouched in the Chapel corridor, rummaging through the skeleton’s clothing before speaking. I watched her silently and answered.
“I don’t need it.”
“…Huh? Why?”
“Because the mission clear condition is not taking a single hit. Even if I had it, I can’t use it right now.”
“…Ah. I see, I see. Got it. Later, when we get to Trinex, don’t change your story, okay? Understood?”
“Understood.”
Despite Joo Seo-yoon’s teasing tone that didn’t sound respectful at all, I paid it no mind and simply moved on. My expression remained consistently blank and emotionless.
…She’d been like that since childhood, always so expressionless, making it hard to joke with her. Apparently nothing had changed. Joo Seo-yoon narrowed her eyes and pouted her lips.
Then, suddenly thinking of the big event about to unfold, she grinned and continued her teasing.
With an even more playful tone than before.
“Hmm— when we get to Trinex, even if you desperately ask me to hand over the Mark of Prayer or beg for help in a panic, I won’t help you— understand?”
“Yeah. Well, I have to clear the mission anyway, so that’s obvious… but I might not be able to protect you either.”
It didn’t matter. I simply accepted my younger sister’s words at face value. I responded without concern.
“What…? Seriously. Who’s worried about whom here? Even if I look like this, I’m a game streamer. Why would I need your help? I’ve always done fine on my own since I was little…!”
“That’s not true. When you played Nintendo games as a kid, you always asked me to clear the mini-puzzles and boss fights for you. Don’t you remember?”
“…”
Joo Seo-yoon, who had been excited about teasing me, was caught off guard and fell silent.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-Did you even play proxy games on Windows when you were young? LOL
And lol Nintendo proxy gaming is seriously the first time I’m hearing about it haha
As I continued farming items from the remains scattered across the grand corridor outside the Chapel, I went on.
“Yeah. When was that? Fourth grade, I think. Back then, you brought the Nintendo and begged me to clear the mini-puzzles for you, crying and making a fuss—”
“I… I’m sorry. I was wrong. Let’s stop.”
“?”
“Stop it. Please. I know, so just stop.”
“Fine, whatever.”
Joo Seo-yoon paused mid-farm from the corpses and covered her face with both hands. Well, from Joo Seo-jin’s perspective, it was merely his younger sister’s past—one he’d watched over like a child—so he didn’t give it much thought.
Hahahahahahaha
-???: How about we make it a draw instead…? (placing a bet)
“Earning 1 stack of dark history lol. Oh, those old stories are so funny lol.”
Nintendo games have this thing where you inevitably have to solve a mini puzzle at some point while progressing through the story lol
Instead, the viewers simply enjoyed themselves by hearing tidbits of the siblings’ past. And so, circling through the corridors outside the Chapel, they collected every item.
[Worn-Out Wooden Staff]
*A worn-out wooden staff. Crafted from poor-quality wood, it was never of good quality even in the past. By now, it appears to be completely unusable. Unknown patterns are carved into it.
━Durability: 61/150
━On Equip: Additional Spellpower +3 / Total Spellpower +0.2%
[Thief’s Boots]
*The boots of a nameless thief, long dead. They generate slightly less noise. That’s all.
━Durability: 127/200
━On Equip: Movement Speed +3%
[Apprentice Knight’s Wrist Guard]
*A wrist guard belonging to an apprentice knight. Patterns depicting the sun god are carved into it. In small letters, it reads: ‘A knight’s pride stems from the nobility of their soul.’ …or so it says.
━Durability: 211/300
━On Equip: Additional Defense +4 / Total Defense +0.7%
‘Token of Prayer’. Besides recovery items, that was all there was. And so, after finishing the item farm, Joo Seo-jin equipped the Thief’s Boots and the Apprentice Knight’s Wrist Guard.
The Worn-Out Wooden Staff? It wasn’t an item I could use in the first place. I’m a Knight’s Descendant, after all.
It was only right that Joo Seo-yoon, a player character from the Wandering Mage origin, would have it. After distributing and equipping the items that way, the two of them approached the end of the corridor.
“Alright. Now it begins. From here… once we step outside the Chapel Grand Corridor, that’s when we’ll fight Trinex.”
Before the Chapel Grand Corridor. Joo Seo-yoon spoke in a voice tinged with a sigh. Then she glanced at Joo Seo-jin and smirked as she continued.
“I made it crystal clear earlier, didn’t I? That even if you beg me for help, I won’t help you. You get that, right~?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re going to regret this.”
“I won’t.”
A total of 1,887,500 won. Even halved, that was roughly 940,000 won. To someone steeped in capitalist society like Joo Seo-jin, such an amount was not something that could be ignored.
“Wow… look at how resolute you are. Do you really think you can win…?”
“I have to win.”
Tutorial. Before the full-fledged boss monster’s appearance, the chat erupted in flames. Everyone was becoming of one mind and spirit.
-Gasp
-Is he losing??????????
-???: Win
-Victory declared right as the tutorial starts…!
The flags of defeat are slowly seeping in lol
For the most part, the majority were hoping for Joo Seo-jin’s defeat rather than his victory. They all desperately prayed for nothing but his loss.
-‘Did he finish it?’, ‘Win’, ‘How did Joo Seo-jin become known as a legendary genius monster?’, ‘Don’t be afraid! The opponent is just one Trinex!’
—”It’s impossible for Joo Seo-jin to fall to Trinex,” “Joo Seo-jin doesn’t lose to Trinex,” “Don’t worry, Trinex will be crushed by Joo Seo-jin”
—Voodoo magic activated ON hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
—These crazy bastards hahahahahaha voodoo magic is insane lol lol do they really want to teach this newbie a lesson?? lol
—Fact) Even without voodoo magic this is just a setup where the newbie loses lol 100% lol lol
Regardless of what they said, Joo Seo-jin paid no attention and placed his hand on the stone door of the Chapel Grand Corridor. Then, channeling his power to its absolute maximum once more, he wrenched the door open.
Grrrrk—!
And then.
Thud—
One step. Forward, beyond the doorway, his foot crossed the threshold… and he pressed onward.
* * *
The instant Joo Seo-jin wrenched open the stone door of the Chapel Grand Corridor and stepped beyond it, the sound of tearing air erupted.
Whoooosh—bang!
From all four directions, four crimson tentacles of flesh whipped outward, assailing him from grotesque angles.
An ultra-high-speed ambush. Against such a devastating onslaught that shredded the very air, preparation and focus meant nothing.
Evasion impossible. Joo Seo-jin’s body at the front was torn to shreds… and then Joo Seo-yoon died as well. The screen faded to black.
[You have died.]
* * *
And then…
* * *
‘This is worth trying.’
* * *
The next moment.
Grrrrk—!
At the end of the Chapel Grand Corridor, in the instant Joo Seo-jin wrenched open the stone door and stepped outside, he swung his longsword in all directions as if slashing through the air itself.
Clang—ring! Crash—bang! Screech—wail! Splurt…!
Bright crimson tentacles. Whip-like masses of flesh… fell to the dirt ground with a thud, and simultaneously, a grotesque shriek tore through the air.
“───Krrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!! Kyahahaha!!”
A vast open field. The corpse of a knight bristling with bright crimson tentacles, its eight eyes wide open and glowing with radiance. What manner of being this was, was abundantly clear.
〈 BOSS 〉
【 Wrath’s Sin: Trinex 】
—?
—Huh?
—? What? ??? What the hell is this???????????
—What… did I see that right… wtf…???
—What… what… how did he do that… did I really see that??;
Trinex. Against the living corpse knight bristling with bright crimson tentacles, Joo Seo-jin had landed a perfect counter. Flawlessly executed.
“Hm.”
Metal creak.
“This…”
Joo Seo-jin let his longsword, dripping with bright crimson blood, hang at his side… and wore a savage smile.
“This is fun.”
It was the moment when my innate talent—the prescient ability to glimpse the future—began to reveal its true, formidable nature in earnest.
