Episode 71

Chapter 71.

No matter how much Dohyun dislikes guilds, he’s not such a battle maniac that he’d pick fights first.

In fact, since starting Godose, hasn’t he never once started a fight first?

…Then is this some kind of aggro-inducing slander?

-Kaiser is seriously insane lol

-Wow, he’s really fucking cool.

-Isn’t this just crazy behavior? Why are you saying this is cool;; He looks fucking stupid.

-First, you need to know about Kaiser’s past. Kaiser has been in conflict with numerous guilds and has been betrayed many times. Of course, he destroyed them all each time… Anyway, Kaiser extremely hates guilds. Even so, Kaiser fans thought he would join a guild this time. Because of the current situation.

But our Kaiser hyung doesn’t give in.

He said fuck all that and acted according to his beliefs. If this isn’t fucking cool, then what is?

-Whoa… I thought it was just bravado, but there was such a story behind it.

-ㅠㅠㅠ Now that I know, Kaiser oppa is even cooler, what am I gonna do.

Looking at the comments, that wasn’t it either.

Moreover, bringing up this topic wasn’t limited to just this post. Every time he refreshed, posts discussing that topic began to increase.

Those posts all talked about Kaiser’s actions and were expressing admiration.

“What did I even do? I just hunted, that’s all?”

What is this? Is this the Truman Show?

It felt like the whole world was deceiving him.

But this is reality.

Dohyun could finally understand why there were so many people at the entrance to Brion.

“Ah… Those were all scouts trying to recruit me.”

No wonder there were so damn many people.

He had been careless to simply think ‘Wow, Brion really is different’ and move on.

Anyway, that’s not what’s important right now.

“…So to summarize, I’m marked right now?”

And by all kinds of guilds, including the Top 100 Guilds.

They won’t do anything immediately for the sake of their image, but interference operations will definitely come.

Because he basically gave a big middle finger to guys whose pride is their livelihood.

It was an unfair situation for Dohyun, but the deed was already done and no one would believe his words.

Even if they believed him, making a fuss about it being a misunderstanding in this atmosphere would be too uncool.

Beyond uncool, it would look pathetic.

‘I can’t do that.’

Dohyun, who had no intention of doing that, had only one way to respond going forward.

‘I don’t know. Let’s just push through like this.’

Continue with this current concept.

Though it was an unintended situation, thinking about it, it actually worked out well.

Even though the Black Flame Dragon from before was gone, Dohyun still had a lot of bad feelings toward guilds.

In reality, even if scouts had flocked to him, he would have rejected them all.

‘It was going to happen anyway.’

Until Raven, he was cautious because he wasn’t confident he could handle large-scale attacks, but now it’s different from then.

Because he had obtained numerous rewards including Cheonbyeon (Thousand Changes) and upgraded his specs.

With his current specs, he absolutely had no confidence. No confidence in losing.

Maybe if it were when he went to the Empire, but now he could go out confidently.

‘The situation isn’t bad either.’

And objectively speaking, the situation wasn’t bad.

Whether his bold dismissal was taken positively, most reactions were favorable.

The number of people expecting Dohyun’s future actions was increasing in real time.

If it were the previous Dohyun, he would have just thought ‘I see’ and moved on, but now it was different.

‘Isn’t this the perfect timing to upload videos?’

Because the current Dohyun was thinking of trying YouTube.

What would happen if he started YouTube when attention was focused like this? Even if just half of half of those numerous people came in, he would receive tremendous attention.

Even if they don’t stay, at least they’d come in to try it out.

‘The video… I should use this one.’

And coincidentally, Dohyun had an amazing video prepared.

The hunting video from the Hidden Field Habitat of the Warriors, and the video of defeating the field boss Eliza.

‘I’ll pass on the Eliza stuff for now.’

Since he was traveling with Eliza, and it didn’t seem like there would be any benefit to making it known, Dohyun passed on that and turned his attention to the remaining video.

The setting of the Habitat of the Warriors, the existence of Karuk, the Hidden Field boss.

And the excellent control-based combat style utilizing ‘parrying’.

‘Both in terms of visual appeal and using only Swordsman skills… This is perfect.’

At least in Raven, there wouldn’t be more interesting bait than this.

So Dohyun honestly admired it.

‘Wow, how did this work out?’

Honestly, even though the material was excellent, he wasn’t confident.

The YouTube market was such a red ocean, and as someone who wasn’t confident in editing, Dohyun had no confidence in driving traffic.

But to have such a situation handed to him perfectly.

It was as if someone had set the stage for him to start YouTube.

“Editing… I don’t know. Let’s just upload it as is.”

This was also why Dohyun could boldly upload an unedited video.

Whatever happened, the traffic influx was pretty much guaranteed.

Rather than wasting time on editing, uploading it unedited right now was a hundred times better.

It had a certain raw appeal, and the running time wasn’t too long either.

However, there was one obstacle before that.

[Please set a channel name.]

“Hmm. Channel name.”

Since it would be the channel name that would stay with Dohyun going forward, he had to choose carefully.

After thinking for a moment, Dohyun wrote down a name and uploaded the video.

[Uploading video.]

[Upload complete.]

After finishing the upload, Dohyun coolly turned off the computer and lay down on his bed.

Feeling the soft texture enveloping his body, he harbored a small wish inside.

‘I hope I wake up to find about 100,000 subscribers.’

Muttering that, Dohyun chuckled.

‘That’s impossible.’

100,000 in one day?

Anyone who knew even a little about YouTube would laugh hollowly and say his dreams were too big.

Getting 100,000 subscribers was several times harder than hitting 1 million views in a day.

No matter how much he was expecting traffic influx, this was too unrealistic a wish. Dohyun had that much common sense.

‘I’d be grateful if the view count just explodes.’

Thinking that, Dohyun slowly closed his eyes.

That was his last memory. He fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. Regular breathing sounds echoed through the room.

The sleeping Dohyun couldn’t even imagine.

What kind of ripple effect his uploaded video was causing, how much the community had been turned upside down while he was peacefully sleeping.

* * *

Around the time Dohyun fell asleep, on YouTube.

[Raven, Hidden Field Hunting Video]

A title that was short if anything.

When that title was thrown onto YouTube, viewers who took the bait began to appear one by one.

-? What is this?

-There’s a hidden field in Raven?

Filled with doubt, they clicked on the video and only left comments after about 20 minutes had passed.

-Habitat of the Warriors? Crazy, it’s really a hidden field?

-There was a hidden field hidden in Raven? Wow… this is going to cause chaos when it spreads, isn’t it?

-No, but what’s with that control? Why isn’t he getting hit?

The title they thought was impossible turned out to be real.

It was already surprising that there was a hidden field in Raven, but what was even more surprising was that ridiculous control.

Using his entire body as a weapon to massacre the warriors.

The sight of not allowing a single attack while cramming in every attack was close to art.

Among all that, the crowning moment was none other than the boss battle.

-What skill is that deflecting all attacks?

-Is that parrying? No way, he succeeded at all the parries?

-Wow… look at the boss’s physicality. It looks like one hit would kill you, but he’s not getting hit even once.

-Did you see him lure it to the wall, induce an attack, then kick off the wall and roll to the blind spot to dodge? What kind of sense is that?

He freely utilized ‘parrying’, which boasted extreme difficulty, and literally cooked the boss.

It wasn’t an exaggeration – the entire running time of over 20 minutes was all highlight reels.

Here, people couldn’t help but be curious.

-My goodness… is this truly human control?

-Just who is this person?

Who exactly was the protagonist of this video to be showing such ridiculous skill?

That curiosity was resolved the moment they checked the channel name.

[Kaiser TV]

Subscribers: 23

-…Kaiser TV?

-Kaiser? Could it be that Kaiser I know?

-Holy shit, Kaiser uploaded a video right now?

Because it was written as Kaiser right there in the channel name.

They didn’t think it was an imposter at all. The skill that could only be thought of as Kaiser himself and the stage of a hidden field.

[Greeting: Hello, this is Kaiser. Since this is my first time on YouTube, please understand that I’m uploading unedited content. I hope you enjoy watching.]

And even the greeting that was kind but strangely chic and indifferent.

All three elements were proving that it was indeed Kaiser.

-Wow, amazing. What are you doing not spreading this right now!?

-Waaah, take me!

-Everyone please watch this. Our Kaiser-nim uploaded a video! The quality is insane so everyone please watch it before you go! Link http…(omitted).

Excited fans began spreading the video to communities and everywhere else,

-What? Kaiser started YouTube!?

-Even a hidden field? There’s a hidden field in Raven?

-What is it, what is it?

In a situation full of talk about Kaiser, countless people clicked on that video.

And they were shocked.

-Holy shit! What the…

-Wow… wow… really wow, I’m speechless.

-His play is not human. I can’t help but admire the beautiful movement.

-So this is the level you need to have the ambition to face off against the Top 100 Guilds alone.

-I was kinda skeptical but I agree…;; The con is insane. What kind of passive is pairing lol

-But what’s with that damage? The warriors are just melting? What kind of equipment does he have…

-Control, damage, mentality – nothing’s lacking. He’s seriously a monster. No wonder he got 1st place.

Having seen the insane play that truly deserved the title of god, they all spread the news without exception.

The video that spread like a cell network drew unprecedented attention in history…

-Is this the god’s YouTube?

-Ahh… you’ve come. Please receive the god and come back to comment again.

-I came from Australia. Is this the land of the god?

-Already watching for the 5th time… currently broke through 5 diapers. Still have 20 left…

-But what’s that guy in the robe next to him? Is he a party member?

-It’s an 18+ game but isn’t he too small for that? Looks like he’s in the 140cm range… is it a short woman?

-Isn’t it a Guardian? Seeing how he only picks up items, it seems like he just got a Guardian because picking up items was annoying.

-I don’t know about anything else, but are those view counts for real? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was 200k just an hour ago and it’s already hit 500k.

-Subscribers keep growing too lolololol the class is insane.

-Ah, how can I even stand this lol

In an instant, it broke through 1 million views and 100,000 subscribers.

It didn’t even end there and kept rising, and people who couldn’t contain their excitement with just this much even went as far as to declare:

-Does it make sense that there’s only one video?

-This is a sin. To only upload one video like this!

-We need something to fan over. Let’s band together for efficient fanning!

Extreme fans gathered together to create a single cafe.

Called Kasingyeo.

Meaning a religious order that serves God Kaiser, it was what you’d call a fan cafe.

What was surprising was that this Kasingyeo wasn’t a newly created cafe.

-What? There’s already a Kaiser fan cafe?

-Was it from the Demroc days? Ah whatever, let’s join there first!

-Oh, amazing. There are tons of Kaiser-related posts. Everyone gather here!

This cafe created by a manager named ‘Fanatic’ was operating on a small scale with double-digit numbers, but fortunately the manager accepted all the newbies with broad generosity.

Having become famous in an instant like this, Kasingyeo’s membership broke through five digits in one go.

While YouTube was being turned upside down like this and Kasingyeo was establishing itself as the official Kaiser fan cafe of Godseeker…

“Hmnya, mm… golden color…”

Dohyun was roaming dreamland while muttering strange sleep talk.
