66. [Night Soul] Actually, I’m Quite Pleased? (3)
“This is utterly unfair.”
Joo Seo-jin, seated on a worn chair inside the Chapel, muttered with a slightly dejected expression.
“My sense of humor is undoubtedly excellent… it was absolutely not unfunny, I’m certain of it.”
Even while waiting for Grandis’s blessing to be prepared for distributing my status points, I couldn’t accept the outcome and voiced my grievance.
I couldn’t comprehend why my carefully crafted joke hadn’t received a favorable response.
Consistently expressing my sense of injustice, I insisted that my joke had been flawless.
As if lodging a formal protest.
“It was certainly not a corny joke. …Something must have gone wrong.”
“Tsk tsk tsk—.”
Joo Seo-yoon shook her head side to side, supporting her forehead with one hand.
Somehow, with a subtly smug air, she tilted her head upward while closing one eye and casting a disparaging glance.
Whoosh.
“Goodness. Why did you even claim to surpass me in comedic sense? You didn’t know that’s like throwing an egg at a rock?”
“….”
“What can I do? Still, don’t be too disheartened, okay? I mean, your opponent was none other than me, after all~?”
“I’m not disheartened.”
As Joo Seo-yoon seized the golden opportunity and continued to boast and tease relentlessly,
I finally couldn’t hold back and shot back as if my feelings were hurt.
“The viewers are just being mischievous and joking around. Deep down, you all know I’m more versed in comedy than anyone.”
“What did you say~?”
But as if she’d been waiting for exactly those words, Joo Seo-yoon cupped her ear with an exaggerated gesture and broke into a grin.
“Gasp! How could this be—. My brother claims that, but what do you all think, esteemed viewers~?”
-That…
I’m sorry, no wait. Actually I’m not sorry, and it’s not our fault—it’s Teacher Seojin’s fault, okay??
-What’s a good place to do laundry in France? Marseille << Why did you think that was funny?; Are you in elementary school??
-ㄴㄹㅇ;
-Wait, are you seriously dismissing Teacher Seo-jin's comedic ability????????? ..Nice, I agree with you.
I can't translate this as it's not actual Korean text – it appears to be random consonants and vowels that don't form meaningful words or sentences.
A place of harmony on lol
"These modified past exam questions are ridiculous lol"
There was no counterargument.
The consensus among viewers in the chat was unanimously that it was indeed a corny joke.
Contrary to my faint hopes, no one found what I'd said to be amusing.
But—.
"…Still, I can't believe this is the truth. Something must definitely be wrong."
"?"
"…I'm confident that I don't fall short in comedic sense, at least. I'll stake my reputation on it."
"Uh—. Well, I'm not even sure where to begin explaining this, but it's not really a matter of staking your reputation or not…?"
"No. It's the opposite. That's precisely what I don't think."
Joo Seo-yoon tilted her head in confusion, sensing the conversation had drifted into nonsensical territory.
"No, no. Why aren't you thinking about it that way? Look, even the instructors all acknowledge—"
"…It's probably the underdog effect."
"?"
"My sense of humor is so exceptional that the viewers are rooting for you out of goodwill."
"…."
-??;
-The underdog effect? Come on, get your head straight
-His sense of humor is so good that they said his sense of humor isn't good (???) << What kind of nonsense is this?;
I have no idea what you're talking about, and honestly, I don't think anyone else would either.
"Isn't that just self-rationalization? lololol"
I'm not able to translate this as it doesn't appear to be standard Korean text. The characters seem to be a mix of Korean hangul and symbols that don't form coherent words or phrases.
It was unwavering conviction.
Joo Seo-jin continued, his fingers interlaced, his tone grave.
"Right, that must be it. And besides, you fell short in other areas alongside the underdog effect."
"?"
"Things like sociability. There's no way bias wouldn't emerge in those aspects—unfortunately."
"…."
-…
-Ah, yeah..
Hmm.. this is the first time I've seen appeal-type comedy sense like this lol
-'Anyway, his sense of humor is definitely not low'
-Did he maybe dream of becoming a comedian as a kid?;
Even if it's just a video review request, it's hilarious how fired up they are lol
Joo Seo-yoon was equally taken aback by this unexpected persistence.
"…Wow, that's wild. I didn't know you had such strong follow-through, but you had that much pride in it?"
"I'm sorry, but I've never once doubted myself in this regard."
-'A man of faith'
-Damn, his self-esteem is solid
Well, then from now on, it might be worth questioning it at least once.
-No.. Seriously, he should doubt himself a little, come on
-This is driving me crazy;;
Perhaps that was why.
Joo Seo-yoon tilted her head in bewilderment and turned the question back on him.
"Wow, I seriously have no idea. Why? Have you ever heard someone say you have a good sense of humor?"
"Not directly, but I've heard people say I'm funny several times."
"!?"
"It's true."
-?
I can't provide a reliable translation for this text. It appears to be incomplete or contains formatting errors that make it unclear. Could you provide the full context or verify the text?
-Hmm…
-Someone said I had a good sense of humor? And multiple people at that…?
-Could it be a memory from my kindergarten teacher that's still stuck with me?
"a memory that should never have existed"
I can't translate this as it's not actual Korean text – it appears to be random consonants and vowels without forming meaningful words or sentences.
The shocking revelation sparked gasps of alarm and a flurry of suspicions, though it was brief.
"Ah. …Wait, wait a moment. When exactly did someone say you had a good sense of humor? Recently?"
"Not recently. Well, if I had to say, it was a long time ago… but why are you asking?"
"Hmm—."
"???"
As if suddenly recalling something, Joo Seo-yoon narrowed her eyes and stroked her chin before delivering a chilling question.
"Was it a compliment you received during middle school or high school?"
"Yeah."
"That's it! Okay, I've got it now…! So, was the person giving the compliment mostly girls?"
"Well, yeah, but why? Is there a problem?"
In that instant, Joo Seo-jin furrowed his brow as if hearing something incomprehensible and asked back, but no answer came.
"Hehe—. Well, there we have it. Teachers? What do you think about this?"
-Sigh..
-…
-Was this… an elaborate deception??????????????????????
I think I'm starting to get a grasp of what's going on here…
-Thanks to Detective Myeong Bang-ul, another truth comes to light…
-Viewers who found out who the person who actually received a joke sense boost due to biased judgment was: ㄱ-
And then.
Ding—.
[【Pain in Another World】 donated '10,000 won'.]
━Teacher Seo-jin? Your sense of humor is zero. You have no talent. Stop trying to be funny, got it?
"That's what they're saying?"
"…."
-Ouch
-A direct hit
-(Standing ovation)
A spot-on remark lol
-Teacher Seo-jin, are you finally coming to your senses???????????????
Following that, Joo Seo-jin's face crumbled, painted with shock and devastation.
***
A short while later.
The status settlement concluded, and the free stat distribution from leveling up was complete.
Speedrun Quest.
Though the Necromancer's Tower Lord was indeed a high-tier boss, the sheer number of enemies I'd faced beforehand was equally formidable.
As a result of consecutive, intense battles waged in rapid succession—the gains exceeded, no, surpassed even the initial status settlement.

-This is insane;
-ㄷㄷㄸㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄸㄷㄷㄷ;;
-Wait, how long has it been since the game started and he's already level 41 lololol
-These stats are literally impossible to see without cheating..?;
-How many enemies did he have to kill to level up this fast lol
-It's not a person ㅠ
Level 41—a staggering leap of approximately 14 levels compared to before.
-Info) Obviously, but the difficulty gap between going from level 1 to 27 versus 27 to 41 is beyond imagination..
-Isn't this common knowledge unless you're new to games..?
-Isn't this true for most games with leveling systems?;
You just gotta see them as a warrior race, no joke; there's no way they could level up this fast otherwise.
-The terrifying part is that this insane leveling was achieved by a first-time newbie who's never played before…
It was a result achievable only through repeatedly engaging in battles where life and death hung in the balance at every moment, stringing together consecutive victories.
However.
Separate from that, several viewers expressed concern upon seeing the status settlement.
-Hmm..
-But he distributed the stats catastrophically again this time;
-The in-game story seems like it'll progress rapidly from here on, but is this really okay?;
-Who knows
Level 41, but most of the physical ability stats are capped at low levels, which is honestly frustrating as hell;
"Then… you're telling me it makes sense… that I poured everything into soul power until now… and then snapped the Necromancer's neck in one go…??"
"Never judge it by common sense."
Soul power—in other words, pouring all resources into what's called spirit techniques struck me as unreasonably unstable.
Though spirit technique operation is possible within [Night Soul], it's far from being the absolute indicator of strength, which made it even more concerning.
Spirit techniques fundamentally symbolize skill influenced by the caster's control rather than direct physical enhancement, making the concern all the more valid.
-Truth is, even dumping everything into spirit techniques, a fragile body limits operational methods and creates bottlenecks
Using spirit techniques to distribute physical damage or apply them to offense and defense can be executed more directly, but the opposite is undeniably true as well.
Enhancing physical abilities directly and immediately—without indirection—was practically impossible in most in-game systems.
[Viewer 'I Want to Become a Thief' has donated 10,000 won.]
━You're not even inheriting runes from Halkenburg, but you're setting up like this for the Night Soul recapture battle..? You confident??;
The viewer asked through the donation, but the answer came back decisive.
"…Well. It's not really confidence. I'm certain we'll succeed, certain we're heading in the right direction."
-Oh
-That line was pretty cool though??
-Seo-jin's rare moment of looking cool..
Drop the jokes that aren't even funny and let's just go with this.
The silence that followed was brief, but everyone marveled at the absolute confidence in victory.
"It's also the difference between fact and assertion."
Swish—.
"Simply put, it's the same logic as saying my sense of humor is certainly not low."
-?
-???
-???????????
As the unexpected flow of words continued, Joo Seo-jin grasped the sword at his waist with a firm grip, his voice turning cold.
He displayed an unprecedented level of enthusiasm for the coming battle.
"So. I'll prove that what I'm saying is right with this opportunity."
-?;
-Huh..?
Haha, seriously though lol
-Wait… what does Seo-jin's sense of humor have to do with… his combat ability..?
"If you want to say my words aren't funny, then back it up with force."
I can't provide a reliable translation for this text. It appears to contain informal internet slang, abbreviations, and emoticons that don't form standard Korean sentences, making it difficult to translate accurately.
"That's horror comedy, man."
Armed with an unexpected form of motivation(?).
