Chapter 299

Episode 299.

└Wow, look at those movements, crazy… Demian can’t even land a proper hit. Considering the spec difference, one good hit should be enough to win.

└The empress is so cool lol, she’s badass from the moment she appears with that massacre.

└Sister, take me!

└What, did the Sword Master fight that well?

└Commander is insane… Is that difficulty for real? How did they even beat this thing?

└Parrying is seriously OP isn’t it lololol What was that instant-kill parry at the end even? There’s a skill like that?

└Ah shit, those troll bastards are going to run wild again.

└Don’t accept swordsmen in parties for a while, you might get screwed.

It was truly an explosive reaction.

Comments were posted sequentially on all videos, and the view count was rising at an insane speed.

You could see it going up by tens of thousands with each refresh.

The view count that initially rose by 10,000 had gained momentum and was now increasing by 100,000 at a time.

‘Crazy… is this even a reasonable speed?’

Even the Forgotten Tomb video that achieved a billion views wasn’t this fast.

At a rough glance, it was at least twice as fast as back then.

At this rate, hitting ten million views today didn’t seem impossible.

‘At this rate, won’t it even hit 20 million?’

Considering that the Achievement from the Forgotten Tomb was no less impressive than now, it was puzzling, but soon he could understand what was happening.

└I heard there’s going to be a vacancy in the top 10 guilds because of this incident?

└Kaiser, the man who destroys even top 10 guilds, is he a god?

└He’s really cool though. Look at his ambition to smash everything, top 10 guilds or whatever, if you mess with him.

└What’s crazy is actually doing in real life what ordinary people only imagine lol

└Ah, if you touch a god, you should die~

└The top 10 guilds had built up their position all this time, but this incident will probably shake their standing greatly?

└That’s true. Until now they felt like absolute power that would never crumble, but now I think they’re just people after all.

The reputation that the top 10 guilds held in Godseeker was truly absolute.

There was even a saying that the top 10 guilds were Godseeker and Godseeker was the top 10 guilds, so it was natural if you think about it.

Three of those top 10 guilds were about to become vacant, so how great would the impact be.

‘Honestly, the Commander raid was harder.’

The Commander raid that was so difficult to clear was just barely touched upon.

All attention was focused on the fact that the top 10 guilds had been defeated.

‘Hmm. I did fight well, even from my perspective.’

It was dangerous at the time, so maybe because he concentrated, even watching the video, there was nothing to criticize.

It was truly the textbook method of dealing with tanks in PVP.

It was natural since he had shown in practice everything that was commonly known as theory-only talk.

└It was amazing, but it seems like he won because it was Demian?

└For real, Kaiser was a tank counter. The matchup was wrong. If he had fought Ahdeo or Leon, who knows.

└Agreed

Of course, there were negative comments mixed in between, but these comments made an amazing turnaround the moment they entered the Commander video.

└Kaiser one-man show lololol

└Holy shit, that control is insane ㄷㄷ Is that even the same person? No wasted movements at all.

└He’s grabbing all the aggro alone, what? If he fought Ahdeo, who knows? Come on, that Ahdeo was basically just a sidekick.

└Leon dies as soon as he appears lololololol

└Raids and PvP are different, you bastard. He’s doing both tank and dealer roles, how could his score not be high?

It was thanks to his tremendous performance against the Commander.

There were still those who argued back, but the comments were coming so fast that they couldn’t have much effect.

Then Dohyun noticed a few comments that caught his eye.

└I’m curious about the other top 10 guilds’ reactions.

└Well… they must be flipping out, right?

└Will they start another war then?

‘I’m curious about that too.’

He hadn’t just poked the hornet’s nest but half-destroyed it.

It wouldn’t be strange if they came for revenge in a rage, but the current situation was somewhat peculiar.

└I don’t know about later, but it’s unlikely for now. If they do that now, they’ll get beaten up by everyone.

└Leonne, Cheonoe-cheon, and Aegis guilds are already in chaos fighting a war against major guilds led by Myeolsal, and now other top 10 guilds are going to war too? If they’re not careful, they’ll all end up destroying themselves lololol

└ For real lololol

└I’m curious about Demroc’s reaction, but they never do interviews…

└They have to fight a war, would they care about this stuff?

└Wow, this is exciting. After the holy war ends, now Demroc is at war.

└What holy war?

└Kaiser is a god, right? Since a god fought, it’s a holy war.

└Ah… I can really feel the increase in Kashin Church members;;;

‘The war between Demroc and those guys…’

Demroc.

The man who was ranked 2nd in Demroc.

Dohyun didn’t know much about him either.

Since he wasn’t the type to cause trouble, Dohyun had never had conflicts with him, and there were no situations to fight.

That’s why Demroc was probably the only one he hadn’t fought in Demroc.

‘I heard he’s gotten much stronger now, I’m curious.’

There seems to be someone called the Death King too, but he’s someone not seen in Demroc and too little is known to figure anything out.

But still, considering he’s recognized as an unprecedented necromancer, he can’t be weak.

‘Someday I’ll clash with them too.’

Maybe sooner than expected.

Dohyun planned to keep moving forward, and if he kept clearing main quests, he’d inevitably clash with them someday.

Whatever happened, he had no intention of avoiding it.

He was now building up the specs to handle such situations.

Of course, in terms of pure specs, he was still far behind his companions.

‘I have the advantage in raids, but in one-on-one, I’m not there yet.’

Especially against the Empress or Sword Master, they were in a league of their own, so it would be almost certain defeat.

But that was also a matter of time.

He had caught up this much in just a few months, so if given more time?

‘It’s not impossible to catch up.’

In that regard, it would be perfect if the 1st Prince appeared.

Getting a Fragment of Destiny would greatly boost his specs.

Even if the 1st Prince wasn’t the traitor, it didn’t matter. It would naturally mean the 2nd Prince was the traitor.

Anyway, this would be revealed when the time came.

[Kim Duhyeong: The video is up!!]

[Kwak Jaeyeol: I prepared 5 diapers. See you all later.]

[Yu Jonghyeon: Will 5 be enough? To receive a god, you need at least 10.]

[Kim Hyunsu: for real lololol]

‘Sigh, what will I say when I meet those guys.’

His friends seemed busy watching the video since no more messages came after that, but he could never get used to their reactions every time he saw them.

Setting aside the somehow unpleasant feeling, should he say he was getting more afraid of the aftermath each time they acted like this.

He’d have to meet them sometime, but he didn’t have the confidence to see them acting like that in front of him.

‘Hmm.’

Dohyun, who had been imagining his friends praising him to his face for a moment, came to a serious conclusion.

It would be better for his well-being to avoid meeting them for a while.

‘I don’t know. Let me eat first.’

Maybe it was because he edited without eating.

His stomach clock was clamoring for food, so Dohyun lifted his butt and got up.

The moment he opened the door and came out.

“Huh?”

“Hmm?”

His eyes met with a familiar face he seemed to see after a long time.

It was Hyuna, sitting with her back against the sofa in shabby clothes.

A cold silence hung in the living room as if even breathing had stopped.

-Why! Why won’t it work!

Whoosh- Whoom-!

What broke the silence was the sound from Hyuna’s phone and Hyuna’s face turning pale in real time.

“Hii, hiiiiyaaah!!!!”

“Geez, you scared me! Why are you screaming and making a fuss?”

And following that was Hyuna’s scream.

At the high-pitched shriek that would make pterodactyls step aside, Dohyun stepped back and tried to respond, but Hyuna was one step ahead.

“Kyaaaah! No! That’s not it!”

She was startled as if she had seen a ghost, dropped her phone, and ran away without looking back.

The entire process took less than 5 seconds.

“What? Why is that brat having another fit?”

He knew she wasn’t normal, but not to this extent.

Her condition seemed to have gotten much worse since he came out as Kaiser.

Even if they hadn’t run into each other recently because he was busy, why would she treat him like a ghost to this extent?

“What the hell was she doing to act like that?”

At this point, Dohyun was bound to be curious.

The phone Hyuna had dropped was lying on the floor with a video still playing.

When he picked it up, the video shown was one Dohyun knew very well.

-Everything was in your favor, so why did it turn out like this?

-Because you’re weaker. What other reason could there be? If I were weaker, I’d be the one in that position.

-If you thought about trampling someone, you should have been prepared to be trampled in return.

Well, of course…

“This is… my video?”

War (2) from the videos he had just uploaded in his room.

Because it was a scene from the latter part of that video.

In the video, Dohyun wearing a black rain mask was speaking in a cold voice to Demian, who was kneeling with a blank expression.

So Dohyun turned up the volume a bit.

-Looks like you broke the unwritten rule?

-I’m looking forward to it. How your future will turn out.

-Kaiser, you son of a…!

“Wow, looking at it this way, that dumbfounded expression is quite a sight.”

It was even ugly enough to think so.

He was chuckling when the video sound must have reached beyond the room.

“Kyaaaah! What are you doing right now! Did you touch my phone? Why are you watching that!!!”

Suddenly, dolphin shouting that surpassed Ahiyu’s 3-stage high notes burst through the door.

The sound of jumping around and stomping feet could also be heard mixed in.

“Were you watching my video?”

“A friend kept sending me links so I just took a quick look… Anyway, it’s not me! Why would I watch your video!”

“For that being the case, it’s already the latter part of the video? Since it’s episode 2, I guess you already watched all of episode 1.”

“Aaaaaaaah!!!!!”

Is this what dying from shame feels like?

If he went any further, he’d probably get reported for noise complaints between floors, so he should stop here.

Still, when he first came out, he was inwardly worried about their awkward relationship, but it seemed like unnecessary worry.

Dohyun shook his head while listening to the thud, thud sounds and groaning as if she was beating a pillow.

“Phew, it’s going to be tiring for a while.”

A faint smile was forming on Dohyun’s lips as he said that.

* * *

And the next day.

Dohyun’s prediction that it would be tiring for a while was exactly right.

The first start of those tiring days began at the breakfast table.

“Kids, eat your food!”

Since it was the weekend, Mother Chae Misuk, Hyuna, and Dohyun were having breakfast together, when Chae Misuk made an unimaginable statement.

“Oh, right. Do you guys know someone called Kaiser?”

“Pfft!!!”

“Oh my! What is this child doing so disgustingly at the dinner table!”

Hyuna, who never imagined the name Kaiser would come from her mother’s mouth, spat out what she was eating.

Watching Hyuna get a back smashing right away, Dohyun quietly wiped his mouth.

‘…I spat too.’

It just wasn’t noticeable because Hyuna’s reaction was too big.

Dohyun was also quite flustered.

Why was his story suddenly coming up?

When his eyes met with Hyuna who was getting hit, Hyuna’s face turned bright red and she shot up from her seat.

“Ah, I don’t know! I’m done eating!”

“What, this child… you only ate three spoonfuls and you’re done? Sit down quickly!”

“Why are you only picking on me! Mom doesn’t know anything!”

Chae Misuk muttered as if dumbfounded at the sight of Hyuna screaming and running to her room.

“Why is she suddenly acting like that? Does puberty come twice?”

She was bewildered seeing behavior she only saw during middle school.

Especially when her daughter, who used to go crazy for food, was even refusing meals?

“Do you know anything, Dohyun?”

“…I don’t know. But why Kaiser all of a sudden?”

“Ah, these days Kaiser? That person is so popular. I wondered if you guys knew since you play God of… anyway, that thing~ He’s popular among mothers too.”

“…I see.”

Dohyun, who had learned from experience that it was better to play dumb at times like this, feigned ignorance.

Fortunately, Chae Misuk, who was boiling water in the kettle, got up hurriedly saying “look at me” and the conversation could be interrupted.

But the problem wasn’t just at home.

‘Gym, let’s go to the gym first today.’

It was only briefly that Dohyun, who had been troubled since morning, came outside to work up a sweat.

Dohyun, who was wandering the streets, soon had no choice but to be flustered.

‘Wh-what is this!’

Well, of course.

The world had changed.
