Chapter 207

 

Episode 207.

 

-Why is he being dragged by Charlie? And what’s with the spider web?

 

-No way, is it real that he was doing card pulls in the middle of all this?

 

-What’s wrong with card pulls? If you want to replenish your power, you need to prepare card pulls. There’s nothing as perfect and thrilling as card pulls, you wet-behind-the-ears brat.

 

-? Why are you suddenly going off? Are you one of those guys from the Gacha Gallery?

 

-But he’s got a point though. Skills do make up a big portion of your strength.

 

The absurd witness accounts didn’t end there.

 

-Huh? I think I saw him at the Strengthening Station.

 

-? If it’s the Strengthening Station, wasn’t that when he had the enhancement battle with Leon?

 

-No no, he left after rejecting Aison’s disciple offer, then came back about an hour ago. He was grinning ear to ear talking with Kilhi. Kilhi was giving him thumbs up.

 

-…?

 

Players who had witnessed Kaiser began sharing their stories, thinking this was their chance.

 

-Huh? I saw him at the Boss Zone.

 

-If it’s a Boss Zone worth going to now… that cave?

 

-Yeah, I heard the boss had respawned so I went into the cave, and the boss was completely obliterated. He was casually walking out saying the performance was solid, his aura almost made me piss myself.

 

From the story about Kilhi’s thumbs up witnessed at the Strengthening Station to the boss obliteration story.

 

All the witness locations reported in that short time were completely different.

 

-When was this?

 

-Uh… maybe about an hour ago? A bit less? I’m not sure… around that time.

 

-Damn, should I believe this or not? Everyone says they saw him an hour ago, what is Kaiser, some kind of Hong Gil-dong?

 

-But it does sound like something Kaiser would do, so it’s ambiguous. All the stories we didn’t believe before turned out to be true.

 

But since all those events seemed to happen simultaneously, everyone couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

 

Like one chat said, it didn’t make sense unless he really was Hong Gil-dong.

 

As the stories went round and round, the questions eventually converged into one.

 

-So what’s he doing now?

 

-An hour ago he went to Sacred Ground, Strengthening Station, and Boss Room. What about now?

 

-Anyone see him after that? No? Even hearsay is fine.

 

-I didn’t see him.

 

-I haven’t heard anything either.

 

What could Kaiser, who had been moving so busily, be doing now?

 

But no one knew his whereabouts after that.

 

At this point, opinions were split in half.

 

His play time was really up and he logged out.

 

No. If it’s Kaiser, he’s definitely up to something extraordinary.

 

“Damn, what the hell is this bastard doing? I’m going crazy from frustration.”

 

And in the Babylon Guild Master’s Office.

 

Ast, the owner of the armory, closed the Godseeker community window, tired of listening to the conflicting public opinion.

 

Ast was going insane right now.

 

He had generously packed enhancement stones and materials telling him to enhance, but suddenly he had an enhancement battle with a craftsman, then Aison appeared and offered to take him as a disciple…

 

‘He even won the enhancement battle against a craftsman? Him? And why did Aison show up?’

 

It was full of incomprehensible things.

 

The Kaiser that Ast knew wasn’t like that.

 

Not only was he good at hitting boss weak points, but he was also incredibly good at hitting weapon weak points – a god of misfortune who broke everything every time he swung a hammer.

 

A man who should have reached +10 enhancement at least once, but had never even come close.

 

That was the Kaiser Ast knew.

 

“But what? Enhancement is just a hobby? Where’s the guy who cries like that over a hobby?”

 

Even that alone gave him a mountain of questions, but why were these Hero Guild bastards suddenly going off and posting official announcements?

 

Especially since they specifically targeted tomorrow, they must have checked his schedule before posting.

 

‘I can’t cancel this and help him…’

 

That would be too obvious.

 

So instead, he was going to suggest either dropping by the guild briefly or officially announcing some kind of deal.

 

That way they could buy at least some time.

 

It was his way of using his head, but…

 

[Sending whisper to Player ‘Kaiser’.]

 

[Target has not activated whisper function.]

 

“Damn, why doesn’t he have whisper permission enabled?”

 

Whisper function was off, and he had no idea where he was right now…

 

Frustratingly, there was no way to contact him.

 

“Did this bastard never use the whisper function because he has no friends?”

 

…It was when Ast, who had grumbled words that would hit right on target if Dohyun were listening, slumped into his chair.

 

Ding-

 

“Huh? Ding?”

 

A sudden cheerful notification sound.

 

Wondering if he had turned on the whisper function, Ast hurriedly opened the system window and his eyes widened.

 

“What the hell is this!?”

 

It was indeed a notification from Kaiser.

 

But it was a completely unexpected type of notification.

 

And it wasn’t just Ast who received it.

 

Ding-

 

“Huh? A notification?”

 

“What notification? Mine didn’t ring.”

 

“No… I connected to Godseeker a while ago, wait a minute.”

 

From players in the Empire to players in other cities.

 

Ding-

 

-Huh? Hey, my phone just got a notification

 

-You too? Hey, me too.

 

-What is it, it’s a YouTube live notification. This isn’t the time to watch stuff like… Holy shit?

 

-Crazy… Is this for real?

 

Even the communities that were having heated conversations.

 

Those who paused at the notification that rang at the same time were soon forced to be shocked.

 

The notification that appeared before them.

 

Its identity was a live stream.

 

You might think what’s the big deal about a live stream notification in this YouTube-loving generation, but if you see the channel name that started the stream, those words will disappear.

 

[Kaiser TV is currently live streaming.]

 

[Title: Tomorrow? No, today.]

 

It was a live stream from Kaiser’s channel, the hot potato himself.

 

-Crazy, Kaiser started a live stream!

 

-Holy shit!?

 

-Damn this is insane… This isn’t the time, I’m going to watch the stream…

 

-That bastard stopped chatting mid-sentence and left. But I’m curious too. I’m going too, see ya

 

-What’s the stream title? I’m too curious. I should go too.

 

-What, I want to go too.

 

-Me too, me too!

 

This news spread quickly, and people left at such a rapid pace that it could blow up all community rooms.

 

“Hey, this won’t work. I’m logging off.”

 

“? Why?”

 

“Gotta watch the stream.”

 

“…You’re quitting in the middle of a Quest to watch a stream? Are you perhaps a stream addict…”

 

“Kaiser started a live stream.”

 

“This crazy bastard, why is he saying that now? Starting with me, I’m logging o….”

 

That wasn’t all.

 

Players who were logged in also began logging out one by one, and this news reached even Berjhe, who was holding a press conference.

 

“…Therefore, we plan to proceed with Kaiser’s elimination tomorrow, so we ask for your understanding… What? A live broadcast? …Kaiser, you mean?”

 

Berjhe’s appearance, stopping mid-sentence and suddenly responding while frowning, was being officially broadcast.

 

The journalists’ murmuring grew louder, and some even showed signs of leaving the press conference.

 

At first, it was just a few.

 

“…What? Is that real?”

 

“Where is Kaiser right now?”

 

“Damn…. Kaiser really is a crazy bastard too.”

 

“This isn’t the time to be here. Let’s move over there before it’s too late.”

 

But as time passed, the murmuring grew louder, and soon journalists began leaving their seats in droves.

 

The main journalist, flustered by the unexpected situation during the live broadcast, hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.

 

“Uh…. The Hero Guild’s master, Mr. Berjhe, has an urgent matter to attend to. We’ll visit again later.”

 

At the journalist’s appearance of abruptly stopping the interview, Berjhe opened his mouth as if bewildered.

 

“? What do you suddenly mean by….”

 

“This isn’t the time, Mr. Berjhe. You should hurry and wrap things up too. You should thank me.”

 

But before those words could even continue, the main journalist who boldly cut him off also began hurriedly packing up and leaving.

 

A situation that could easily be called a broadcast accident.

 

Berjhe had a dumbfounded expression at the most absurd press conference he’d experienced while running the Hero Guild.

 

‘What’s this about now? Kaiser turned on a live stream? What does that have to do with me….’

 

While he was voicing his confusion, a whisper came urgently.

 

-Ma, Master. This is urgent!

 

-Kaiser is at this place….

 

The moment he heard that far, something flashed through his mind, and Berjhe’s expression hardened.

 

Without needing to hear more, Berjhe urgently logged out and immediately opened YouTube.

 

[Kaiser TV channel is currently live streaming.]

 

Just as the journalists had said, a live broadcast was indeed on.

 

-Crazy, it’s Kaiser!

 

-Where is that? I’ve never seen it before. It’s frustrating because I can only see forest.

 

-Is that a cliff? What is it? Why is he in a place like that.

 

-Kaiser! I’m a fan!

 

-Kyaaaah, oppa!!!

 

-Hey, you crazy bastard! Where are you!

 

The constantly rising viewers and chat were dizzying to watch, but Berjhe couldn’t blink even once.

 

That was because Berjhe knew that location everyone was curious about.

 

‘That place, surely….’

 

He couldn’t not know.

 

It was a place he always looked at through the window from the guild office.

 

In other words, the place where Kaiser was now located was the cliff at the end of the back mountain behind the Hero Guild headquarters.

 

‘Why is that guy there…!’

 

At the unexpected situation, just as Berjhe was anxiously biting his lips.

 

“Ah.”

 

Kaiser opened his mouth.

 

“Nice to meet you. This is Kaiser.”

 

-Kyaaaaaaah!!!

 

-ㅇㄹ힝ㅁ날;ㅏᅟᅥᆸㄷ;f

 

-Kaiser, why are you there!? Did you see the notice the Hero Guild posted?

 

Countless chats appeared simultaneously.

 

Though one might get distracted by the dizzying parade of chats, Kaiser glanced at them briefly and continued only what he had to say calmly.

 

His calm tone felt leisurely.

 

“I saw the Hero Guild’s position. They made me out to be quite the criminal…. Well, I can accept that much.”

 

“….”

 

“However…. This is a bit strange.”

 

Since he was filming in selfie mode, it felt like having a face-to-face conversation.

 

“Is there really a need for it to be tomorrow? If you’re going to draw your sword, you should quickly cut something.”

 

Perhaps that’s why. Berjhe felt a strange feeling.

 

The way he spoke while raising the corners of his mouth seemed like he was mocking him.

 

Crack-

 

‘What kind of show is he trying to put on now.’

 

Berjhe, who was grinding his teeth in unnecessary displeasure, soon had no choice but to doubt his eyes.

 

Swish-

 

The camera view that had been in selfie mode switched to the rear, and Kaiser suddenly approached the cliff’s edge.

 

Then the Hero Guild’s guild castle was revealed.

 

Everything from the guild castle’s scenery to the guild members busily moving inside was clearly visible from above.

 

-That…. Could that be the Hero Guild?

 

-Wow, there was a place like this.

 

-You didn’t know? The Hero Guild’s back mountain is famous. There was a lot of talk about whether they chose the wrong location, but who would have thought there’d be a crazy bastard bold enough to spy on a Top 100 Guild from there….

 

-That crazy bastard was here.

 

Viewers seeing this place for the first time were purely amazed, while those who knew about this place before were amazed in a different sense.

 

After everyone had a moment to be amazed like that.

 

Soon they couldn’t help but be puzzled.

 

-But why is he showing this place?

 

-Right… What? Why is he there in the first place?

 

-Hey, this couldn’t be…?

 

Why was he in that place.

 

Why was he showing this scene at this timing, and why was the broadcast title ‘Tomorrow? No, today.’

 

“Kaiser elimination notice?”

 

It didn’t take very long to realize that.

 

“No.”

 

Kaiser, who laughed as if it were ridiculous, told them directly.

 

He said it as if it were extremely natural.

 

With very natural and calm eyes, he spoke matter-of-factly.

 

“The elimination isn’t something you do to me, but something I do to you.”
