Episode 364

2.
At the moment Baek Ji-woo sent the proposal.
Yoo Sung-hyun was too preoccupied with leveling up to notice, and naturally, chaos erupted within the Rapid Guild.
It was as if an official proposal had arrived from E-World for the first time.
Chaos was inevitable.
Despite Yoo Mi-na holding the Single Ranker title and conducting activities, she had never received such a proposal.
No one could have imagined that Yoo Sung-hyun, who hadn’t even entered the rankings yet, would receive something like this.
A meeting had to be convened within the guild.
The meeting included Guild Master Rapid and the guild’s video and marketing executives.
The reason video and marketing personnel and executives participated rather than guild operations staff was simple.
“So E-World sent an official document saying they want to upload the Demon King’s live stream as an official E-World broadcast???”
“For E-World to reach out officially like this…”
“Honestly, it’s quite surprising.”
“Hmm.”
While the executives were deliberating.
Guild Master Rapid nodded in agreement with everyone’s remarks.
Officially, Yoo Sung-hyun’s videos were currently monopolized by the Rapid Guild.
That’s what the contract stipulated.
That’s why E-World had sent the official document to the Rapid Guild.
And the compensation wasn’t simply money.
“But if this benefits the guild like this… shouldn’t we absolutely agree???”
“Event rights have such tremendous utility that it’s worth it.”
“If they’re giving this much just for yielding the Demon King’s live stream once, I absolutely support it.”
“Me too!”
With everyone in unanimous agreement, Rapid nodded as well.
Of course, Yoo Sung-hyun’s opinion would be most important.
But event rights were that powerful.
In the Eternal World, guild events were held like festivals at times.
During those events, guilds would give away something special to promote themselves and expand their scale.
Just as booths were opened to promote games, such guild events existed, and guilds could only hold events during those times.
Occasionally, by clearing special items or guild Quests, one could obtain these event rights, though they were extremely rare.
This time, if they simply transferred Yoo Sung-hyun’s live stream once, E-World would grant them event rights.
Since the Rapid Guild was currently suffering from a personnel shortage, this condition was like rain in a drought for them.
That’s why Rapid had to deliberate.
“If they’re giving us this much benefit, they must be offering Yoo Sung-hyun tremendous benefits too. Looking at the proposal, they’re giving him half of the live stream revenue.”
“Wow, if they’re giving half of an official E-World live stream’s revenue, that says it all.”
“Right. This is no joke.”
The executives were so astounded that E-World’s live stream had such tremendous impact.
The Rapid Guild’s influence was so powerful that they would accept even if it meant promoting the guild, but if event tickets were added to the mix, the situation became entirely different.
Moreover, Yoo Sung-hyun was receiving extraordinary benefits as well.
The Rapid Guild itself felt like pushing Yoo Sung-hyun to accept the offer.
For that reason, the Rapid Guild decided to accept E-World’s proposal.
“I’ll speak to Yoo Sung-hyun about it.”
Thus, the meeting came to an end.
After the meeting, Rapid exited the Capsule and contacted Yoo Sung-hyun.
It would have been a blow to her pride that the guild couldn’t do anything—no coordination, nothing else—except ask Yoo Sung-hyun for his opinion.
But when Yoo Sung-hyun picked up, An Yoo-jin, who was Rapid, spoke first.
“Hello?”
3.
Yoo Sung-hyun had exited earlier than usual and was resting, exhausted from excessively raising his level.
His phone vibrated, and he could see an unexpected caller on the screen.
Seeing that the call was from An Yoo-jin, Yoo Sung-hyun tilted his head in confusion.
‘Is it guild business?’
He answered the call immediately.
-Hello?
“Yes, noona.”
-Hey Yoo Sung-hyun, did you happen to see the proposal?
“A proposal?”
-The one that came from E-World.
A proposal out of nowhere?
Yoo Sung-hyun tilted his head in bewilderment, trying to recall, but then remembered that he had blocked all incoming messages while leveling. His expression shifted to one of realization.
Wondering if the proposal had arrived during that time, Yoo Sung-hyun quickly checked his phone.
Sure enough, there was a message plainly sitting in the Eternal World’s inbox labeled as a proposal.
“I was so busy leveling earlier that I didn’t notice, but it’s in my inbox.”
-Then could you check it and tell me about it?
“Oh, I’ll read it and tell you right now. Just a moment.”
-Okay, take your time.
With An Yoo-jin’s permission, Yoo Sung-hyun switched to speakerphone and read the proposal.
[Greetings. This is E-World, the service provider of the Eternal World.]
[While we have sent apology messages before, this time we are reaching out differently to present a proposal to the user ‘Yoo Sung-hyun’.]
“???”
Once again, he wondered if he had done something wrong.
But that wasn’t it.
Yoo Sung-hyun continued reading, curious about what it could be.
Then.
[The matter concerns the World Raid Boss ‘Deathbone Dragon, Belzarak Draxion’ that the user ‘Yoo Sung-hyun’ discovered.]
[Normally, the World Raid Boss ‘Deathbone Dragon, Belzarak Draxion’ is a boss that must be defeated through cooperation with other users, requiring a raid with a minimum of three thousand users from the Eighth Region.]
At those words, Yoo Sung-hyun couldn’t help but scratch his cheek.
A world raid boss that required at least three thousand users to participate.
No wonder Helena had made such a fuss about it.
Yoo Sung-hyun nodded at the thought.
So he was attempting to solo a world boss that required three thousand participants.
I wondered if that’s why the message had come through, so I continued reading.
[Since you, user Yoo Sung-hyun, discovered the world raid boss ‘Deathbone Dragon, Belzarak Draxion’ alone, I judged that other users’ participation might be somewhat unpleasant for you.]
[Therefore, if you wish, I will allow you to raid the world raid boss ‘Deathbone Dragon, Belzarak Draxion’ solo.]
[In exchange, I have prepared this proposal, hoping you would permit us to enjoy this event with other users in a different manner.]
‘Enjoy it with other users in a different way?’
How?
I continued reading to find out.
[If you wish to conduct a solo raid, we intend to broadcast your raid on our E-World official live channel.]
[We promise half of the revenue generated from this, and additionally, from the drop items of the world raid boss ‘Deathbone Dragon, Belzarak Draxion’ or any data that could be dropped, you may select whatever you desire, and we will provide it.]
[Of course, the items and rewards naturally dropped from defeating the world raid boss ‘Deathbone Dragon, Belzarak Draxion’ will remain yours as is.]
[I have already left a proposal at your guild as well, so please discuss it and send a reply with the data you desire, and I would be grateful.]
[Additionally, I will leave a list of data obtainable from the world raid boss ‘Deathbone Dragon, Belzarak Draxion’.]
[Thank you for reading this lengthy message.]
Looking at the message that ended there, my eyes gleamed.
The proposal itself was appealing.
But there was something among the final list of data from the world raid boss ‘Deathbone Dragon, Belzarak Draxion’ that caught my eye.
[The corpse of the world raid boss ‘Deathbone Dragon, Belzarak Draxion’.]
How could I possibly refuse this?
With Apophis, the corpse had vanished the moment I killed it.
Honestly, I had worried the same would happen this time.
But they were offering it.
Rejecting this proposal would be foolish.
It was an opportunity to obtain the corpse of a world raid boss, no less.
Of course, even if I resurrected it as part of the Death Legion, it would be difficult to use its full power.
But even so, that alone would be an enormous reward.
Moreover, what if Belzarak’s soul happened to be nearby?
I could make it even stronger.
Yoo Sung-hyun smiled at that final thought and immediately answered An Yoo-jin, whose call was still connected.
“I’ll do it.”
-I figured you would, given the good terms.
“Yeah, it’s really good, right?”
-I knew it. What else are you taking besides the revenue? You don’t have to answer if it’s difficult to say.
“They’re also giving the world boss corpse.”
-Huh.
An Yoo-jin reacted with disbelief at my words.
Indeed, for someone like me who resurrected corpses, there was no greater reward than a corpse itself.
Then, An Yoo-jin suddenly recalled Yoo Sung-hyun awakening the World Raid Boss.
‘…The rankers would probably just take it down?’
She even began to wonder if solo rankers could defeat it without much difficulty.
In any case, if things were proceeding that way.
An Yoo-jin agreed to it.
-Understood. I’ll make sure our guild helps as much as we can.
“Yes, thank you.”
-We should be thanking you. Now get some rest.
“Yes, you too, sister.”
Yoo Sung-hyun ended the call with An Yoo-jin and smiled with satisfaction.
I never imagined that E-World would make such a proposal.
To be honest, there were times when I wondered if they were trying to hold me back out of fear of my growth.
Have they given up now?
That thought crossed my mind.
Since they no longer seemed intent on stopping me, I smiled wryly.
‘I wanted to bring Belzarak here by any means necessary, and this is a perfect opportunity.’
If I coat Transcendent Death with this and that, couldn’t I make it even stronger?
With that thought, I muttered as if I’d just had a brilliant idea.
This time I obtained the power of a Multifaceted Lord, and there was also the creation of a homunculus.
If I process those things and the corpse all at once, I might be able to make it far more powerful, I thought, nodding to myself.
Of course, I’d need to prepare a bit more.
‘Once I raise my level, I can challenge him now.’
But there were a few things that bothered me.
It wasn’t certain that I could definitely defeat Belzarak, and if E-World was pushing this hard, honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect.
How difficult must it be for E-World to support it this much?
The probability of success seems quite low.
Honestly, I wasn’t entirely sure either.
‘It’s been far too long since I’ve gone all out.’
Having grown incredibly powerful recently, I honestly haven’t exerted my full strength.
So it was difficult to say I could definitely win against Belzarak.
But all I could do was try my best.
It would be disappointing if I couldn’t defeat him.
Why is that?
‘I have no fear of losing.’
If I mobilized my full strength, all my minions, and all my legions.
A World Raid that requires at least three thousand users to gather?
I felt like I could handle that much, and I chuckled softly.
Whether it’s long or short, I’ll find out tomorrow.
With that thought, I confirmed that only two levels remained until my target level, then went to bed early.
