The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero
Episode 18
The Game of Constellations [Lyka]
To cut to the chase, we did it.
We defeated Murvess on our very first attempt and opened the Hidden Dungeon.
Ding-!
[Successfully sealed ‘Murvess’s’ magic.]
[‘Murvess’ has entered ‘Unrecoverable’ state.]
[Party member ‘Leo’ dealt critical damage to ‘Murvess’!]
[Successfully defeated ‘Abrasil’s Minion Murvess’!]
[The Rift’s gatekeeper has been defeated.]
[Special conditions have been met.]
[The power of the full moon dwells in the twisted space.]
It seems Leo was a much bigger variable than I had thought.
Who would have expected him to suddenly activate Sword-Spirit Unity like that.
It’s fair to say that our lack of damage was solved by Leo’s awakening.
└ They… defeated Murvess…?
└ But Room Owner; wasn’t this just a survival condition mission;;;?
└ What the hell are these guys…?
And that wasn’t even the end of it.
After successfully defeating Murvess, we… went ahead and cleared the Hidden Dungeon too.
Honestly, having defeated Murvess, the Hidden Dungeon’s difficulty wasn’t going to be a problem.
[You have discovered the hidden rift of ‘Moonlight Garden’.]
[Upon entering the ‘Rift’, you can access the ‘Ancient Moonlight Garden’.]
└ Damn, I was wondering why they were so desperately trying to catch me when all I had to do was survive to clear it…
└ Defeating Murvess must have been the condition to open the Hidden Dungeon.
└ I feel like my common sense is being denied…
└ Do newbies on the Island of Beginnings normally slice up Dryads and defeat Murvess too???
And naturally, I didn’t forget to collect my dues either.
-Now, Constellations, you saw that, right?
You’ll have to keep your promises, won’t you?
└ Shit;;; I should never make bets with this guy.
[‘Three-Time Ranker’ has sponsored 100LP.]
└ He actually found the Hidden Dungeon;;;
[‘Apprentice Mage Meo’ has sponsored 65LP.]
The Constellations who lost the bet were groaning, but that wasn’t my concern…
[The ancient half-demons, ‘Lykans’, awaken from their deep slumber.]
Rather, the one thing I was worried about was that clearing the Hidden Dungeon would take quite a lot of time.
Since we were doing a 5-person recommended dungeon with just 2 people, it was bound to take a lot of physical time.
So I was a bit worried that if the runtime got too long, the customers… I mean, the Constellations might get bored…
-But Constellations, this Ancient Moonlight Garden will take quite a bit of time, won’t you get bored?
Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be much of a problem.
└ Huh? You’re not backing out here, are you Room Owner?
└ What about business ethics;;?
└ Continue! Get in there right now, damn it
└ If anyone says they’re bored, kick them out immediately!!
└ I could head the ball all week long and it wouldn’t matter lol
└ For real lol
The enthusiastic support made it clear.
[You dealt critical damage to ‘Lykan’ monster.]
[Successfully defeated ‘Lykan’ monster.]
└ Kyah- This is it.
└ Damn, watching the battle against Eve is so freaking good;;
└ Finding the Hidden Dungeon aside;; Is this guy really a ■■■ player? This is fucking ridiculous.
└ His combat sense is just insane?
└ This is a newbie? This is a newbie?
The viewer count even kept growing while we progressed through the Hidden Dungeon.
└ Came here after hearing rumors;;
└ Is it true that someone found a Hidden Dungeon on the Island of Beginnings?
[ON Air : ☺ 132]
Isn’t this exactly what happy Lyka should be?
[‘Count Grape’ has sponsored 20LP.]
└ Hey, take it easy, young man.
Plus, the experience was sweeter than hunting outside, so there was no problem progressing with the Count’s mission either.
└ Lol hahaha looks like the Count is starting to get scared now?
└ I can see why you’d be nervous lol If you clear this too you’ll probably hit level 14 lol
└ Don’t laugh, damn it, I’m nervous too.
└ Dave bro… couldn’t you go a little easier?
Would I?
[Conditions have been met.]
[The master of the Ancient Moonlight Garden, ‘Shadow Lykan’, reveals itself.]
Anyway…
After a full six hours of strategy, we were finally able to clear the dungeon.
[Successfully defeated Jerathos’s minion, ‘Shadow Lykan’.]
[Successfully cleared the ‘Ancient Moonlight Garden’ dungeon.]
[Gained 100 Fame for being the first on the server to clear a ‘Hidden Dungeon’.]
Very sweet rewards poured out from the boss, making all our hard work worthwhile.
Woooong-!
└ Oh shiiiit.
└ 2nd pillar of fire on?
Keu-!
Come to me, Lunar Veil set.
[Obtained ‘Lunar Veil Pendant (Set)’ equipment.]
[Obtained ‘Lunar Veil Earrings (Set)’ equipment.]
You think my luck is too good?
No.
The Lunar Veil set is the first clear reward for the Ancient Moonlight Garden.
Well, if you say the fact that no one has found this place until now is lucky in itself, I have nothing to say…
“This is… insane.”
Anyway, it was no wonder Leo’s eyes went wide.
Lunar Veil is one of the few set items among Tier 3 equipment.
Each piece is worth at least 500LP or more.
And this wasn’t even the end.
There was a separate main dish among the first clear rewards.
[The seal of the Demon Realm rift has been released.]
[Discovered the hidden artifact of a Demon Realm General.]
Yes. This is it.
The artifact of Jerathos, one of the 13 Calamities of the Demon Realm.
[Obtained ’13th Legion of the Demon Realm General Jerathos’s Banner’ item.]
The ‘Banner of Jerathos’, which is a job advancement condition item for three different hidden classes, was still here.
But this… does it even have a market price at this point?
If it meets the right owner, it’s an item worth 100,000 LP though…
While I was thinking that, suddenly a golden aura began swirling from the Shadow Lycan’s corpse.
Rumble- Rumble-!
What, what is it?
This is kind of scary…
Roooooar-!!
[An ancient divine artifact has been conceived in the dimensional rift.]
[You have obtained the ‘Night Stalker (No.967)’ item.]
Crazy.
A numbered item?
On the Island of Beginnings?
└ What the f*ck?
└ No what is this f*cking bug?????
Is this for real?
[Based on contribution, dungeon rewards will be automatically distributed.]
[The ‘Moon Veil Pendant (Set)’ equipment has been distributed to player ‘Leo’.]
[The ‘Moon Veil Earrings (Set)’ equipment has been distributed to player ‘Leo’.]
…omitted…
[The ‘Jerathos Flag’ item has been distributed to player ‘Dave’.]
[The ‘Night Stalker (No.967)’ item has been distributed to player ‘Dave’.]
Is this perhaps a dream?
This isn’t some super fun prank… right?
Ding-!
[Fame conditions have been met, streaming rank will increase.]
[Streaming rank has been promoted from UnRank to Bronze rank.]
Maybe while I was struggling on the beta server… I paid off all my bad luck?
* * *
Celebrities reflect the public’s dreams and desires in their most brilliant form.
That’s why they were called stars…
In that sense, in today’s world where Gates have opened, the brightest shining stars were the ‘Rankers’.
They were the ones who defeated the monsters pouring out from beyond the Gates, guaranteeing humanity’s survival…
While simultaneously being beings who turned even deadly dangers into a ‘show’.
Rankers were packaged like mythical heroes in countless broadcasts and articles, and their every move became the world’s topic of conversation.
And The Hero Chae Yu-hyun was someone who felt disillusioned with such duplicitous show business.
Despite being the very person standing at the center of it all.
“Unnie, you have a sponsor meeting soon. You know, right?”
“Yeah, I know.”
That’s why Chae Yu-hyun always wore a mask.
The public consumed it as an icon, and the media called it a mystique strategy.
But none of that really mattered.
To her, even all the business outside the Gates was merely a means to become stronger.
“Get your energy up, unnie! Today’s advertiser is the ‘Segwang Group’!”
“Yeah yeah. I know that too.”
A low sigh escaped from Chae Yu-hyun’s lips.
‘How long do I have to keep doing this crap.’
Segwang Group, which today’s meeting was scheduled with, was indeed a global conglomerate as her manager was making a fuss about.
South Korea’s largest artifact manufacturing and distribution company, a giant corporation with the largest market capitalization domestically despite being unlisted.
So even if she didn’t feel like it, she had to humor them.
Because she needed a lot of money to become stronger here.
‘If I can just succeed up to the 3rd job change… Then maybe there’ll be some possibility?’
Though no one knew this fact, Chae Yu-hyun had one goal she couldn’t give up.
Her desperate obsession with becoming stronger was ultimately because of that.
‘If what I discovered really is a hidden class… I might be able to surpass that man.’
Yu-hyun, who had briefly thought of someone, shook her head vigorously and picked up her smartphone to check the time.
Then she took a sip of the coffee on the table and stood up.
She had stalled for time long enough, now she had to move.
“If we leave now, we won’t be late, right?”
“Yes, unnie!”
She lifted her smartphone again, which she was about to put in her pocket, and checked her messaging app as if something had occurred to her.
‘As expected, not yet?’
What she was waiting for most right now was news about the ‘commission results’.
It could be called the final key to starting the Demon Realm expedition.
‘It’s only been one day.’
Since she hired the Silver Knights, she’d have to pay quite a lot as a success fee, but if she could just obtain the hidden class, it would be nothing.
With such thoughts, Yu-hyun began to walk.
Click- Click-
But at the very next moment.
Buzz-!
A vibration sound rang out from her smartphone in her hand.
“…!”
Yu-hyun reflexively touched the screen to check the message.
But on the screen was a message with completely unexpected content.
– SKG Ryu Gangmin: Player Chae Yu-hyun, there’s been a variable in the commission execution, so I’m contacting you.
Flustered by this, Yu-hyun immediately sent a reply…
– What happened?
The following response was even more bewildering.
– SKG Ryu Gangmin: We succeeded in searching for the hidden dungeon, but failed to secure the target object.
– What?
– SKG Ryu Gangmin: Someone cleared the dungeon one step ahead of us.
Yu-hyun unconsciously bit her lower lip slightly.
– Then the Jerathos Flag is…
– SKG Ryu Gangmin: It seems they took it.
It seemed the situation had gotten quite tangled.
‘Sigh. I thought it might go smoothly for once.’
But she couldn’t give up here.
She couldn’t abandon the clue about the 3rd job change that she had discovered while risking her life, just because of this level of variable.
The situation where the Jerathos Flag fell into someone else’s hands wasn’t an unforeseen variable either.
– You can find out who it is, right?
– SKG Ryu Gangmin: Of course. We should at least do that much.
– The commission fee is…
– SKG Ryu Gangmin: Ah, for this matter, the previous down payment is sufficient.
– That’s quite welcome news.
The annoying Silver Knights official said something a bit suspicious though.
– SKG Ryu Gangmin: We also have… a reason to find him.
– A reason?
– I can only tell you this much.
It didn’t matter to her.
‘As long as I can secure the Jerathos Flag.’
At least until this point.
