Chapter 142

Episode 142.

And before three days had passed.

There was a topic that never failed to appear on the homepage and community.

None other than Kaiser.

Since achieving 1st place in Raven, his name had been mentioned without fail every single day, showing just how hot a topic he was.

-What’s Kaiser up to these days? Haven’t seen any news about him lately?

It had reached the point where even a few days without Kaiser-related talk felt awkward.

Finally, when one player who couldn’t stand it anymore casually brought it up, comments blazed up as if everyone had been waiting for it.

└Seems like he’s just been hunting since getting rejected at the Impregnable Fortress two days ago? Last I saw him was in front of the Shadow Lycanthropy Dungeon?

└Rejected lololol Why is it so funny that Kaiser got rejected.

└Even Kaiser couldn’t do anything about the lord’s magnificent iron wall of the Impregnable Fortress.

A castle that no one had entered even after a year and six months had passed.

When talk about Sargis Castle, called the Impregnable Fortress due to its solid exterior and refusal to let anyone enter, came up, netizens excitedly started typing away.

-Even Kaiser, who stole the hearts of all NPCs in Brion, couldn’t do anything about the lord?

-As expected of the great iron fortress lord…

-But seriously, what do you have to do to get a meeting? There are NPCs who meet you if you do favor quests, but this one doesn’t even give you a chance to raise favorability.

-Ugh, it’ll take a while for a video to come up this time. Should we wait until the graduation quest?

After chatting about such trivial things for dozens of minutes.

Suddenly, one post went up.

[Breaking) Crazy, Kaiser did it again!!]

Naturally, since they were talking about Kaiser, it was a title that made their eyes widen.

└? How long has it been since he entered Sargis?

└What is it this time.

└Huh? No video has been uploaded though.

└Hurry hurry hurry hurry I’m going to hold my breath until I come.

└Over here! Someone died here!

Could it be that his recent quietness was to gain momentum!

The name Kaiser inevitably raised such expectations.

And as if responding to those expectations, a very refreshing bombshell statement dropped.

[Real-time, Kaiser met the lord!!]

└…What!?

└For real…!? Did you think I’d say that? Tsk tsk

└This trolling isn’t fun. We already know he got rejected, what’s with this old news.

└That’s what I’m saying lololol

Of course, as with all trolling, no one took those words at face value.

Due to too many troll posts as Kaiser became hot, they had developed immunity and now reached a level where they wouldn’t fall for just anything.

[You idiots, it’s real. There are photos below so look and then talk. He logged out coolly after this… (jpg)]

But public opinion was instantly overturned by a post that soon went up.

A post with only two images attached.

Those two images consisted of Kaiser entering the castle surrounded by countless crowds and Kaiser coming out of the castle.

-Holy shit why is this real!?!?

-Crazy, crazy, crazy!!!

-What, this isn’t photoshopped right? It’s real?

└I searched through my friends list and contacted everyone in Sargis and it’s true. The atmosphere there is absolutely insane right now.

└Of course it’s insane, this is the first in Godseeker!!

The impact was definite.

Not only those who were talking about Kaiser rushed to this unbelievable news, but even those who were indifferent to Kaiser without much interest came running like moths to a flame.

Meeting the lord in Sargis was that significant.

-Barion tried to meet the lord by maxing out guard favorability, right?

└He really camped there for half a year just doing favorability work. All the guards in that area are probably best friends with him? He still asks about their updates sometimes.

└Berjhe wasn’t far behind either. He mobilized all his connections saying he’d take 1st place here too, then immediately fell into hell lololol

└Why do you keep bringing up that gay guy who plays dating sims.

└No lololololol How did Berjhe’s image become like this.

-Ahdeo even offered hero-grade items. But how did he manage to meet the lord who absolutely refused to meet players?

└Ah, the lord was actually from Kashin Church too~

└Lololol Ah, I can see the fanatic smiling happily while proselytizing here too.

└Of course, how could a lowly human refuse God’s calling. It was simply Kaiser…

The lord was an existence who wouldn’t even show his toes despite top-tier players using all sorts of schemes to meet him.

There was some stubbornness involved, but there were reasons why they tried so hard to meet the lord.

-Sargis was uniquely stingy with ranking points. Everyone was desperate to clear the lord.

-Setting everything aside, the picture is good. First to clear the lord Quest! Wow…

-Then if he met the lord, can we expect this ranking too?

-Huh? That’s right. Could he take 1st place again this time?

Compared to Raven and Brion, Sargis was particularly stingy with points.

While the others always had ranks up to A, and Brion even had S rank, the highest rank for the third trial was B+ rank.

-I’m Godddong who just came to Brion, is the Sargis graduation quest that hard?

-No no, that’s not it. In terms of graduation difficulty, it’s actually the easiest.

└Why? Is it something like hunting Shadow Lycanthropes?

└No no, it’s just automatic graduation. They grade you based on the achievements you’ve accumulated in Sargis.

└?? Then why is it only B+ rank? You’re saying Demroc, Empress, Sword Master, Cheonma… these guys couldn’t even get A rank.

It was a valid question.

If it was that easy, why couldn’t those top-tier users who were the cream of the crop surpass the A rank wall? It was normal not to understand this logically.

And the parties involved felt the same way.

“Strange.”

No, they found it even stranger.

They knew better than anyone that the achievements they had accomplished were not to be taken lightly.

Therefore, they reached a conclusion.

“Current players aren’t fully enjoying Sargis. There must be a lot that hasn’t been unlocked yet.”

“I, Barion, have completed everything possible in Sargis. Except for meeting the lord.”

“There’s definitely something hidden inside the castle.”

“You never know. Maybe those damn outlaws have something?”

That was the reason.

The reason why strange challenges like outlaw challenges opened up, and why rankers offered their hearts and souls to NPCs to enter the castle.

Of course, not a single person succeeded, and by now they had completely given up…

-Crazy… He actually did it?

-Wow, that’s really amazing.

Kaiser was the first to succeed at it.

His previous actions were equally shocking, but having met the lord who had been secretly hidden for a year and six months, how could they not be excited.

If they could, they wanted to ask him anything.

-Kaiser really is amazing. It’s been at most less than two weeks since he started the game, how does he do this.

-The news is spreading so all the guilds are probably interested too.

└Can’t resist this one lololol

-Going into waiting mode… Please, a video…

-What does the lord look like? I’m so curious.

It was then that one netizen shouted in the heated atmosphere.

[Breaking! Kaiser logged in again!]

News that Kaiser, who they thought would log in the next day because the attention was annoying, had come back in right away.

Naturally, chaos erupted.

└Amazing, where is he now? Where is he going? What is he doing? Did the lord come out too?

└Please please please please please I’m in a hurry.

└Uh… He’s going to the forest?

└Forest? Why the forest? Is it quest content? What’s he doing in the forest?

└Ah, this is so frustrating. Please answer quickly.

└Hey;; I type 500 characters per minute but if you’re rushing at 700 how am I supposed to keep up;;

└So what is he doing;; Answer quickly;

The answer to the countless questions that flooded in with every refresh was simple.

└Hunting.

└…?

└No, it’s not hunting level, it’s just massacre? He’s going around killing them like crazy as if he has a grudge against lycanthropes.

└??

At the same time, a hook came to mind.

└Why?

└Don’t you know? He’s just sweeping up monsters while laughing.

└I’m also in Sargis and what he said is right. There was a lycanthrope so I tried to catch it, but suddenly a dagger flew and there was a black explosion? When I looked back, Kaiser was running toward me like crazy. Thought I was watching a horror movie;;

└Huh? You saw it too? I saw it too.

└Right now all the lycanthropes are dying off so it’s hard to see them. His hunting speed is seriously insane.

└?????

└A man laughing while massacring wolves in a moonlit forest at night… Whoa…

Countless questions arose about this incomprehensible behavior, but they deliberately shook their heads.

There’s no way he’d do that just to hunt.

He must have gotten some kind of quest and that’s why he’s doing this.

That’s what they thought.

But…

[Day 2 since Kaiser met the Lord, still hunting.]

[Day 3, still hunting as usual today.]

[Day 4… Shit, I want to hunt a bit too now;; Kaiser you bastard… Ah, I misspoke. Kashin Church members please don’t mark my coordinates.]

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed, and even when the fourth day came.

Kaiser was still just roaming the forest and hunting.

It was an amazing level of persistence.

Not even visiting the castle, let alone the city, without wasting even a moment of time, he was solely wiping out the lycanthropes.

“…What the hell is Kaiser doing?”

“I don’t know either. But he’s not stealing kills so don’t get distracted and just catch mobs. If you let your guard down he’ll take all the mobs again.”

“Isn’t he doing a hidden quest? Like looking for something.”

“…Does that look like the eyes of someone looking for something to you? To me he just looks like a man with a grudge against wolves.”

“I was so curious I logged in every day for 3 days to watch, but I never saw him act like he was looking for anything. He really was just hunting.”

With this series of strange behaviors, interest naturally had to decline.

Before long, not only netizens but even players in Sargis began to lose interest in Kaiser.

They felt that while it might matter later, there was no point in watching any longer right now.

That’s why it was even more shocking.

[The last full moon rises.]

[Drawn by the energy of the full moon, outlaws appear.]

“Once today passes, we won’t see those bastards for a while.”

“So sick of them… Huh?”

“What?”

On the last day when the full moon rose.

Kaiser, who they thought would just hunt as usual today, changed his behavior for the first time.

And those who saw that change in real time couldn’t help but be shocked.

[Ara… the man… half…]

[Must… find…]

The robed Leader of the Outlaws leading the outlaw band forward.

Behind him, Kaiser was repeatedly throwing a dagger into the air and catching it.

“Could it be…?”

The moment that thought crossed their minds.

Whoosh- Thunk!

The dagger Kaiser threw struck the back of the outlaw’s neck,

Halt.

The moment the Leader of the Outlaws who had stopped reached back to pull out the dagger.

Whirl- Smack.

The dagger pulled itself out and returned the distance it had traveled, ending up in Kaiser’s hand.

[…You… How dare…!]

The Leader of the Outlaws, whose entire body turned black with rage.

[Kill… them… Humans… those who interfere… execute…]

And countless outlaws gathered around him, surrounding Kaiser’s party.

The beings from the underworld surrounding them on all sides emanated an ominous aura with chilling faces, enough to make the watchers shudder.

“Hey.”

However, Kaiser smiled instead.

“Let’s have a fight.”

Did he understand those words?

The leader’s eyes writhed as his face became even more murderous.

It wasn’t only the outlaws for whom those words became a signal.

“K-Kaiser is…”

Players who had been staring blankly in considerable shock opened their mouths.

As one player stammered for a long time, unable to get the words out, a reaction burst out from elsewhere.

“Kaiser has opened an outlaw challenge!!”

“Waaaah!!!”

“Crazy!!! He’s crazy, he’s crazy!!”

Starting with that, cheers poured out from all directions.

It was the moment when an outlaw challenge opened again after a year.
