Chapter 215

 

Episode 215.

 

[Viewer Count: 134.51 million]

 

Kaiser TV’s first live broadcast recorded 134.51 million viewers.

 

The broadcast that recorded such exceptional numbers literally turned Godseeker upside down.

 

-This is fucking insane, Berjhe got destroyed?

 

-And the entire guild by just one person?

 

-Got completely wrecked in a one-on-one? How does a transcended bastard lose to someone who hasn’t even hit max level?

 

-It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but the video is right there as evidence, so there’s nothing to say.

 

-Why nothing? There’s one thing.

 

-What, is Kaiser a god?

 

-Yeah Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god!

 

Countless comments were posted on the video that surpassed 50 million views just one day after the broadcast ended.

 

This news spread rapidly, and articles were posted in real-time on various portal sites and homepages beyond YouTube.

 

[Black Lightning Dragon Descent? The Appearance of Black Dragon Descent?]

 

[Kaiser, what is the identity of the skill he used?]

 

[Kaiser VS Hero Guild. The flag of victory is in Kaiser’s hands…]

 

[Exploring the bitter relationship and conclusion between Hero Guild and Kaiser in 10 minutes.]

 

-That was really fucking cool… What was that black lightning thing?

 

-Looking at the community, there’s a lot of talk about Black Dragon Descent, awakening the Black Flame Dragon, Black Lightning Dragon, etc.

 

-When you hear it like that, it’s pure chuunibyou, but why is it so fucking cool when Kaiser uses it?

 

-Looks like Berjhe and Kaiser had bad blood since the Demroc days. What was his name back then, Biltan? Looking at the photos, he was pure chuunibyou incarnate lol

 

-I could tell from when he was going on about heroes and kingdoms.

 

-Hero summoning and all that, really like some dating sim gay shit lol

 

But this time, the level of interest was different.

 

Real-time search rankings from 1st to 20th place were all filled with this incident, related articles were posted non-stop, and unusually, there were also many comments from foreigners.

 

-Mi… hyeonsi gay? What is that? Is that a term for gay people in Korea?

 

-Kaiser, I want to see him in person.

 

-I can’t believe it. I was shocked with amazement. Kaiser, he is crazy.

 

-What is the identity of that skill? I am curious.

 

Considering only one day had passed, this was an exceptional occurrence.

 

Of course it was natural.

 

Kaiser causing some incident and becoming a hot topic was familiar by now, but this time he had crossed the line.

 

[Kaiser defeats Top 100 Guild single-handedly! His level is only in the 70s?]

 

[Experts estimate that even considering it’s Kaiser, he’s likely between levels 71-75 based on timing…]

 

Single-handedly defeating a Top 100 Guild.

 

Even for Kaiser, he had shattered public opinion that it was impossible and proudly seized victory.

 

-I really didn’t think he’d pull it off, but if he’s already like this, what happens when he hits max level?

 

-For real, he’ll probably split Abtartel in half. If he uses a slash attack, won’t the continent get cut in half?

 

-lololol But seriously, now no one can stop Kaiser.

 

-Well, Hero Guild isn’t even at the top of the Top 100 Guilds. There’s Phoenix and Baekdusan but… Honestly, the achievement of defeating them alone can’t be ignored.

 

-Shouldn’t the Top 10 Guilds step in at this point?

 

-Why would the Top 10 Guilds step in lol What justification do they have?

 

-The Top 10 Guild folks are famous for being slow to act. They probably won’t budge.

 

-That may be true, but the Owner of the Armory was going crazy sending donations.

 

-That guy… Yeah. Is there really something between those two?

 

This wasn’t simply about being impressive or not, but also a matter of symbolism.

 

Beyond not joining a guild, it showed the public how far a single person could rise against guilds.

 

-Guilds? Why join those?

 

-Kaiser is a god, right? He does everything alone anyway?

 

-Top 100 Guild? Yeah, they got instantly killed by Kaiser?

 

-Watching the video, Berjhe was so pathetic lololol If you admit being pathetic, you’re pathetic.

 

-Pathetic22

 

-Pathetic333

 

In reality, this perception was already slowly spreading among the public.

 

That Kaiser doesn’t need guilds.

 

That if you have the skills, you can succeed without joining guilds that were considered essential.

 

-Those fucking Top 100 Guild bastards, they’re not even Top 10 Guilds but they were acting all high and mighty, which was so annoying. Serves them right.

 

-For real lololol What, are guilds the law and rules here?

 

-Anyway, all those loudmouth bastards need to get properly educated by Kaiser once.

 

-It’s always the second-rate bullies who act up. The actual Top 10 Guilds stay quiet, but you always see the Top 100 Guilds and major guilds acting tough.

 

And due to this change in perception, the suppressed public poured out countless curses against various guilds.

 

Among them were masters of Top 100 Guilds.

 

“This is really something, feels like we got sucker punched out of nowhere.”

 

“…There hasn’t been a quiet day since that bastard appeared.”

 

“Well, what can we do? It’s our fault for trusting and leaving it to that bastard Berjhe.”

 

“Let’s just endure for now. The current public opinion is such that we’ll get beaten up if we touch it wrong.”

 

This was why the Top 100 Guild masters were holding a meeting after a long time.

 

Their expressions weren’t very good as they were quite displeased with getting hit while staying quiet, but none of them actually suggested attacking Kaiser or taking aggressive measures.

 

For them, it was an extremely natural judgment.

 

If they picked a fight with Kaiser in this situation, they would definitely be grouped together with Berjhe and called things like ‘Dating Sim Gay #2’ or ‘Ugly Man Baekdusan’.

 

“Rather, we need to be more careful about this kind of image. Just look at what happened to Berjhe now.”

 

No matter how quickly public sentiment heats up and cools down just as fast, images once imprinted on the public are difficult to escape from.

 

So right now, it was right to pretend not to know and stay quiet.

 

‘More than anything… honestly, I’m not confident.’

 

‘I’ve watched that video countless times. That’s only level 70-something? Ridiculous. He’s already surpassed most max levels.’

 

‘I hate to admit it, but that bastard Berjhe’s flame sword is tricky.’

 

‘I’m not even confident now, but if he gets more time from here… I don’t even want to imagine.’

 

…Though they were essentially using superficial justifications as shields.

 

They were trying to rationalize and move on.

 

Perhaps that’s why the conversation topic quickly shifted.

 

“Come to think of it, that bastard Berjhe is saying strange things.”

 

“Ah, you mean that interview? I saw that too.”

 

“Saying the Karshin Church is coming, that the Karshin Church interfered with them, that the Vice Master not being able to come is proof… He was spouting ridiculous nonsense.”

 

“The Karshin Church’s status has been rising lately, but they’re just a fan club at the end of the day, aren’t they?”

 

A video that appeared on YouTube with ghostly timing.

 

In the video uploaded with uncanny timing, Berjhe was passionately arguing in a private setting with an ugly expression that he lost because of the Karshin Church’s interference.

 

His face was covered, but the conversation content and voice couldn’t be hidden.

 

The video with millions of views spread widely in an instant,

 

-Berjhe is so pathetic for real;; Why is the Karshin Church even mentioned?

 

-He doesn’t even have evidence. Just saying some guys in robes stopped the Vice Master and officers from coming, and that’s supposed to be the Karshin Church?

 

-So you’re saying a mere fan cafe beat up a Top 100 Guild’s Vice Master and officers? This bastard really does all kinds of things.

 

-And regardless of what the Karshin Church did or didn’t do, he still got wrecked in a one-on-one lol

 

-Wow, to look that pathetic with that face. If you’re going to waste a face like that, give it to me.

 

-I can hear female fans leaving lol

 

-The fan cafe membership is actually decreasing in real-time lololol

 

It became the final nail that sent Berjhe completely to hell.

 

“Well, there are rumors that crazy bastard is the cafe owner, so if that’s true, who knows.”

 

“True… That guy is abnormal in a different sense.”

 

“Whether he’s trying to move in earnest, or just a crazy person doing crazy things…”

 

“Well… I don’t know about that. But is that what’s important right now?”

 

At Phoenix Master Jennifer’s words, the other five masters chuckled and shook their heads.

 

Whether it was the Karshin Church or whatever, that wasn’t what was important right now.

 

“Now that it’s come to this, it’s certain. Hero Guild is completely finished.”

 

“I agree. This is irreversible.”

 

“A guy who lived off his image, and now even his loyal fans are all leaving. That says it all.”

 

“So… does that mean there’s going to be one vacancy in the Top 100 Guilds?”

 

Hero Guild. And Hero Guild’s master Berjhe.

 

Their downfall was what mattered more.

 

“A vacancy… The guilds must be desperate to claim that spot.”

 

“The atmosphere among the named guilds is unusual. They look ready to go to war at any moment.”

 

“War… How long has it been since that was a topic?”

 

In the early days when power structures weren’t yet established.

 

Back then, incidents and accidents never ceased, and wars broke out every moment.

 

But once the Top 10 Guilds and Top 100 Guilds were established, wars no longer occurred.

 

They served as focal points, maintaining balance.

 

And today.

 

For the first time since the establishment of these powers, that balance had been broken.

 

“To think all this happened because of just one person.”

 

“I thought he was just a loach muddying the waters… But he wasn’t a loach, he was an imugi.”

 

“At this level, he’s not even an imugi, but a dragon, don’t you think?”

 

“Imugi or dragon.”

 

Jennifer chuckled and tapped the table as she spoke.

 

“Whatever he becomes, things are going to get busy.”

 

As she said this, Jennifer’s gaze was still fixed on Kaiser in the video.

 

* * *

 

And at that moment.

 

“No, here like this… So then Kaiser just went bam! Wow… Isn’t he just so cool?”

 

“Yeah. He’s cool.”

 

“Charging in alone and going on a rampage! And then cutting down that dating sim gay guy in one strike!”

 

“It wasn’t exactly one strike, was it? And where did you learn to say ‘dating sim gay’? Weren’t you a Berjhe fan?”

 

“Fan my ass… Don’t even bring it up. A person can’t be that disgusting. You need ambition like our Kaiser to be a real man. He’s really so cool. I guess there’s a reason they call him Karshin.”

 

“…I see.”

 

“The one who stands last is the strongest. Wow…!”

 

‘P-please stop.’

 

Because this incident had become such a big deal, Dohyun had been held captive by Hyuna for hours, listening to her talk.

 

Hyuna was excitedly chattering as if it were her own achievement.

 

Most of what Hyuna said consisted of praise for himself and curses about Berjhe, which Dohyun could only listen to with one ear and let pass through the other.

 

‘I said that? Me? Ugh, what a dark history…’

 

No matter how good the words, they sound different depending on who says them.

 

Having his younger sister directly repeat and praise the words he had said was the ultimate form of secondhand embarrassment.

 

His stomach felt queasy beyond just uncomfortable.

 

He wanted to just escape to his room, but she was determined to hold onto him and keep talking, making it awkward to do so.

 

If he openly avoided such a hot topic, it might arouse more suspicion…

 

‘Ah… Fighting Berjhe was actually easier.’

 

He was casually having thoughts that would make Berjhe’s blood pressure rise if he heard them, considering Berjhe was currently getting beaten up by everyone.

 

“You should have watched the video, oppa! Ah, if they had just fought a little later, I could have watched it live! If only Suyeon had leveled up faster… Maybe I should have just ditched her?”

 

“No, that would have been a bad idea. You shouldn’t abandon a friend.”

 

“Since when do you care about Suyeon… Oh, I got a call. I’m going out now. I’ll finish talking when I get back.”

 

“Sure, sure.”

 

Finally freed from the swamp of praise, Dohyun waved his hand with relief.

 

Though she seemed to plan on continuing the conversation when she returned, Dohyun planned to go straight to bed, so fat chance of that.

 

Anyway, Hyuna had drinking plans, so she’d probably pass out after drinking and coming home.

 

“Well, have a good time.”

 

“Yeah, I’ll be back.”

 

After comfortably seeing Hyuna off, he leaned back against the sofa and was letting out a sigh when.

 

Thud.

 

“Huh? Oppa, there’s a package?”

 

“It’s probably yours.”

 

Hyuna, who had stopped while leaving and discovered a package hanging on the door, suddenly shouted.

 

Dohyun, who couldn’t have any packages, answered as usual, thinking it must be Hyuna’s clothes or cosmetics, but Hyuna shook her head.

 

“No, the stuff I ordered won’t arrive for a while… What? This is actually your package, oppa.”

 

“Huh? Mine?”

 

That can’t be right?

 

The only things Dohyun bought were gaming equipment or exercise equipment, and he hadn’t ordered anything since getting discharged from the military and getting his capsule.

 

“Your name is written here. And there’s a lot more written below… Wait, what is this?”

 

“What? What is it?”

 

Even Hyuna’s surprised reaction.

 

Finally, unable to contain his curiosity, Dohyun jumped up and headed to the entrance, where he saw Hyuna looking at the contents after opening the package at the door.

 

“YouTube… Kaiser TV… Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers… Gold… Huh?”

 

“…Huh?”

 

At her muttered words while looking at the crude box, Dohyun stopped dead in his tracks.

 

At the same time, the two made eye contact.

 

Hyuna’s eyebrows twitched as she looked back and forth between the box and Dohyun with blank eyes, unable to grasp the situation.

 

“…Crazy.”

 

Along with that refreshing curse that burst out, and the indescribable emotion in her eyes, Dohyun quietly swallowed his dry saliva.

 

‘…I’m screwed.’

 

Though he had thought he might get caught someday, Dohyun had never imagined it would happen like this.
