Chapter 349

Part 2, Episode 15.

Hana didn’t stop Mati.

To be honest, he felt the same way.

He had heard many rumors about Kaiser, but honestly thought they were somewhat exaggerated.

That was because all the rumors were nothing but absurd stories.

But now he understood.

‘…The rumors were actually underestimated.’

His combat had reached the realm of gods, beyond the realm of art.

[Viewers: 87.34 million]

The over 87 million viewers who were with him were witnesses to that.

Mati’s hands trembled as he confirmed this.

An unknown feeling stirred deep in his chest, and suddenly his brain seemed to stop, unable to think of anything.

Because it was overwhelming?

‘Ah…’

No, it wasn’t just something trivial like that.

This emotion. He had felt it before.

The emotion he felt when he first saw Adventure King Barion was similar to this.

However, the depth of emotion then and now was on a completely different dimension.

‘…Oh almighty god.’

Mati didn’t know.

That he would later become a big shot who would stand tall even within the Kashin Church, famous for being filled with fanatics.

Just as the eyes of this future big shot looking at Dohyun were becoming increasingly bright.

The fuse that would properly ignite his heart was lit.

[The ranking of the 5th Trial has changed.]

[The ranking of the Adventure Log has changed.]

-Huh?

-A ranking change at this timing?

-Could this be…?

-Oh my goodness

The chat briefly quieted at the suddenly appearing world message.

-Wow, holy shiiiit!!!

-Crazycrazy crazycrazycrazycrazycrazy

-Kaiser, he is god! Kaiser, he is god! Kaiser, he is god!

-Kaiser punch! Kaiser punch! Kaiser punch!

-What the f**k!!

-Is this real?

-Hey foreigners, did you see!! This is the country that has Kaiser!

Tsunami-level chat incomparable to before covered the broadcast.

* * *

[Empire’s 1st place ranking reclaimed for the first time since Godseeker’s release!]

[Is Kaiser the new owner of the throne?]

[Is Demroc getting PTSD again after Demroc?]

[Kaiser, where are his limits?]

[Kaiser’s epic journey to reclaim 1st place in all Main Continent city rankings.]

[The appearance of an unprecedented legendary player]

Articles that appeared without notice and decorated the headlines.

-??

-Overall 1st place for real?

-Crazycrazycrazycrazycrazy

-Wow, I thought maybe, but he really reclaimed 1st place.

-Why is this real?

-Wait, when did Kaiser hit level 100?

-When he caught Garion, I heard he was estimated around level 95~97, but max level in 3 months? That’s insane.

└It took me 9 months just to go from 99 to 100…

└That’s because you’re a bit… No. Living real life is good too.

-What the f**k!!!!

-Annihilation PTSD lololololol the title is such clickbait.

└Are you seriously insane? lololol

└Wow, that’s spicy.

└Godseeker is touching on Demroc. What are they planning to do for work from now on.

└The journalist says they’re quitting after today.

└An article that only lives for today.

-Wow, but this means all five cities are 1st place, that’s really cool.

The impact was beyond imagination.

That was because everything from already hitting level 100 to competing for 1st place ranking.

And articles with even more provocative titles than usual.

From beginning to end, it was all a series of shocks.

It was such a big issue that the Green Window real-time search terms were all about this topic.

Various platforms and communities experienced unprecedented website lag and server crashes.

[Reasons why Kaiser is god]

[Someone claiming Kaiser is the almighty god beyond Kashin appears on YouTube causing controversy…]

[Kaiser, is he really a greater player than Demroc?]

[Current 5th Trial (Empire) graduation ranking table…jpg]

-1st place: Kaiser S rank [13,541 points]

-2nd place: Demroc S rank [11,210 points]

-3rd place: Empress S rank [9,840 points]

-4th place: Cheonma S rank [9,671 points]

-5th place: Sword Master S rank [9,596 points]

…

-9th place: Ast S rank [9,263 points]

-10th place: Fanatic S rank [9,259 points]

-Wow, the point difference is quite big.

-I thought the annihilation record was legendary and would never be broken ㄷㄷ

-Damn, it’s Kaiser again! I was going to sleep after just looking at this post, but I saw Kaiser again. Now I have to shout. Even knowing that shouting will wake me up completely, I shout.

That is the mission of one who has witnessed Kaiser. Kaiser, he is god. Kaiser, he is god…(continued)

└What an excellent believer. May the day come when everyone follows your example…

└ Damn

└What kind of crazy person is this again.

└The replies are legendary too lololol

Such posts and videos were constantly uploaded to blogs, cafes, and YouTube.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the whole world was talking about Kaiser.

That’s how much Kaiser was currently the center of attention and a hot topic.

But this wasn’t the end.

[Just when Kaiser’s 1st place reclaim is the hot topic… there are also changes in the Adventure Log rankings?]

[A historic event where a combat class first set foot in the Adventure Log rankings!]

[The hottest topic among non-combat classes isn’t the 5th Trial, but the Adventure Log!]

[Explorer emergency! Explorers with fire under their feet desperately collecting Adventure Logs…]

-? What does this mean?

-Kaiser was updated in the Adventure Log rankings?

-Is that even possible? The Adventure Log rankings only update up to 10th place. There are already dozens of explorers from the Top 10 Guilds alone…

-This is seriously the first time a combat class has entered the rankings since Godose launched.

-Even if it’s Kaiser, this is a bit…

Following the uproar over reclaiming 1st place in graduation rankings, another piece of big news had exploded.

And it was the first time in history that a combat class had entered the Adventure Log rankings.

This was enough to make production classes, who had shown little interest in whatever Kaiser did before, come running in shock and panic.

Among them, the exploration community was the most stunned.

The Adventure Log was content that openly demanded exploration from its very name.

Naturally, the entire ranking had to be filled with explorers.

[Real-time Adventure Log Rankings]

-1st place: Barion S Rank [20,541 points]

-2nd place: Biya S Rank [15,210 points]

-3rd place: Lapite S Rank [14,840 points]

-4th place: Rack S Rank [14,671 points]

-5th place: Mizuki S Rank [11,596 points]

…

-9th place: Lee Chulgwang [9,380 points]

-10th place: Kaiser A Rank [9,259 points]

At first glance, you might think it’s just taking the very last spot at 10th place, so what’s the big deal, but that’s only from a combat class perspective.

For explorers, nothing could be more damaging to their pride.

-Wow, it’s really true.

-Those explorers were acting all high and mighty, serves them right lmaooooo

-Honestly, aren’t they all just losers except for Barion? Every time I see them strutting around acting all tough, I wanted to slap them for real

-Hey, honestly we should acknowledge up to 4th place. The point gap shows they’re on a different level.

-Yeah, they’re not called the Four Heavenly Kings for nothing.

-Ah, the guy who fell off the rankings ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He’s from a famous big guild too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just recently he was barely hanging on at the bottom acting all cocky ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ then got completely wrecked in just a week ㅋㅋ Oh, I didn’t say who it was though ^^

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Oh right, I didn’t mention that haha

Edward… mmph mmph.

The immediate flood of mocking comments was proof of this.

And rightfully so, because while combat classes could prove themselves in many ways even without rankings, the exploration field was different.

The realm of exploration wasn’t very intuitive after all.

In such circumstances, the Adventure Log was the most objective and definitive way to prove oneself.

In other words, for them, rankings meant hierarchy.

This meant in other words…

-So from now on, Kaiser is 10th in the explorer hierarchy?

Overnight, Kaiser had become a big shot in the exploration world.

-What’s a combat class bastard doing, tsk tsk

-I absolutely refuse to acknowledge it. What has he even done for us to treat him like a big shot? He might be a god and Kaiser in the combat world, but here he should start as a carrier.

-Honestly, does Kaiser have any Adventure Log entries from actual exploration? It’s probably just points accumulated from clearing monthly quests and killing bosses.

Naturally, there had to be backlash.

Some had moved beyond simple opposition to the stage of anger.

-For real, they need to revamp the Adventure Tome.

-Agreed. This is the most important metric for us, but what are explorers like us supposed to do if it goes up just from killing bosses in the Adventure Tome? That’s why these kinds of problems happen.

└What kind of vermin dares to discuss exploration in front of whom? Some nobody I’ve never heard of evaluating the almighty from the start is the problem, yet he doesn’t know his place and dares to run his mouth, damn… (continued)

└What’s with this guy again?

└Just ignore him. That bastard has been following every post all day doing that shit. Calling Kaiser almighty and damn… Ugh, just blocking him is the answer.

└I’m going to talk to Kaiser as soon as he comes to the New Continent.

└What are you going to talk to him for?

└I should challenge him to exploration PvP. He’s a 10th-ranked big shot, surely he won’t be scared of someone from a mid-tier guild like me? ^^

└ Hahahahaha exactly, exactly.

Just as they were continuing their harsh criticism.

-Foolish ones who don’t believe in shamans tsk http//nyutube….

-That bastard is persistent too.

-That’s how Kashin Church bastards are

-Isn’t he an intelligent anti?

-What’s with the link again?

-Don’t tell me he’s promoting himself? What a fucking cunning bastard for real

-Come to think of it, Marti… Could it be Mati?

‘Enlightened Marti’, who had been defending Kaiser earlier calling him almighty, posted a link with sarcastic words.

As various opinions were boiling over in the Explorer Gallery.

-? The link is to Kaiser TV though?

-… Wait, looking closely, Mati appears too. This bastard is really promoting.

-But if he’s going to promote, shouldn’t he upload his own video instead of Kaiser TV?

-The title is ‘The Process of Finding an Ordinary Secret Dungeon’?

-Could this be…

When they actually clicked the link, they couldn’t help but hesitate.

They naturally expected it to be Mati’s broadcast, but both the fact that it was Kaiser TV and the title seemed ominous.

“It’s to the left.”

“From here, it’s to the right.”

Above all, Kaiser’s decisive comments in the intro and the crazy chat room reactions.

And Mati’s shocked expression overlapping, building up anticipation.

It was a different editing style from what they’d seen before, but that wasn’t important to them right now.

-… An exploration video?

What mattered was that this video was the only one containing Kaiser’s exploration skills they’d talked so much about.

The YouTube video that became known starting from a single comment in the Explorer Gallery quickly spread by word of mouth, and people from combat, non-combat, and civilians alike began flocking to it.

And it didn’t take long for all of them to be shocked.

-Wow, this is crazy.

-What is this? Why is all the pathfinding cut to 2 seconds?

-For real, isn’t this map hacking? lololol

-What the hell is this about telling someone like this to start as a porter and not acknowledging them? This is so ridiculous, seriously lol

-Look how the explorer bastards suddenly went quiet.

-Ugh, tsk tsk

It was definitive video evidence that instantly extinguished the wildfire-like flames that had sparked from the explorers’ rebellious spirit.

And this was just the beginning.

-Huh? What, more videos were uploaded?

-3-minute gate? What’s this agai… Holy shit, is this what 3 minutes meant?

-This is so ridiculous lmaooooooo who did the editing. The “ohhh~?” sound effect every time Marty’s expression overlaps is hilarious.

-The boss video was uploaded too and it’s insane. Kaiser’s swag is fucking amazing

-That one-shot cut was sick as hell.

Following the secret dungeon finding video, the sight of him easily clearing five gates requiring exploration skills like solving kindergarten problems.

Followed by spectacular combat footage.

-For real, it was perfect. Nothing was lacking, right?

-The pinnacle of every field. Almighty indeed.

-Damn, it’s Kaiser again, I must worship him… wor, there’s too much to worship.

-The word god is insufficient for Kashin.

-Aah… Almighty one.

-Kaiser, he is almighty! Kaiser, he is almighty! Kaiser, he is almighty!

It was truly the descent of the almighty.
