The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero

Episode 27

The Game of Constellations [Lyka]

My vision was completely filled with white light.

But above it, only the System Messages appeared clearly.

[The Constellations of Lumentia are weighing the player’s karma.]

[The Constellations are bewildered by the countless threads of fate.]

[‘Compass of Fate’ loses its way and trembles.]

And as I read through them…

[Constellation ‘Sculptor of Fate’ lets out a deep sigh.]

I was quite flustered.

[Settlement is delayed.]

[Settlement is delayed…]

No, why are they acting so unsettling?

└ shaking shaking shaking

└ Ahhhh lol I’m so freaking curious what class is gonna show up lol

└ Go to production class or whatever lol

└ The guild leader will be happy if a production class shows up; rice-eating efficiency will go up lol

That’s true, but…

└ But why is it taking so long?

└ They say an oracle has to come down lol. It’s probably not as simple as clicking like the Navigator Quest or whatever.

└ I just hope it’s not some boring, lame class lol

Listen here.

Fun isn’t what’s important right now, bros?

Something big seems to have gone wrong?

[Constellation ‘Unfinished Harmonizer’ suggests the hidden class ‘Aether Thief’.]

[Compass of Fate rejects the suggestion.]

No, damn it!

Just make me an Aether Thief!

That’s the first prize!!

[Constellation ‘Administrator of Lost Knowledge’ suggests the hidden class ‘Lumen Hunter’.]

…?!

This time it’s Lumen Hunter?

This is seriously insane.

Constellation-nims…!

I’m confident I can shoot a bow skillfully, you know?

I really wanted to try being a mana arrow archer.

So please…

[Compass of Fate rejects the suggestion.]

Sigh.

Sadness washes over me at the expected result.

Didn’t I declare I’d never be an archer?

That’s right, but that’s not an ordinary archer.

It’s a class that doesn’t need arrows, the GOAT among all archer classes.

To have to miss this right before my eyes.

I feel like crying from frustration.

[Settlement is delayed.]

[Settlement is delayed.]

In the Beta Server, I’ve received this ‘Altar’s Oracle’ about 10 times.

But this kind of development is really a first.

The moment I stood on the Ascetic’s Altar, job advancement was always completed within 3 seconds at the latest.

Plus, it’s the first time messages about Constellations and such have appeared.

Come to think of it, the Beta Server didn’t have streaming functions, so it’s natural this is my first time seeing this?

“…”

But it seems there are beings among the Constellations that can even interfere with the game’s system.

At that level, they’d be no different from gods…

The range of hierarchy among Constellations seems quite wide.

Then is ‘The Golden Master’ also a top-tier Constellation capable of interfering with the system?

There might be differences in rank even among graduated Constellations…

└ But what the hell is going to come out that they’re taking so long;;;

Now even the Constellations seemed frustrated.

No, in some ways they might be more frustrated than me.

For some reason… the System Messages appearing before my eyes now seemed invisible to the watching Constellations.

└ Room Owner, did you hit some bug?

Yes.

It seems like that.

I’m so afraid some ridiculous weird class might come out…

Did I perhaps sell my soul for 50 million won?

Sigh.

This isn’t even a beta zone, so there’s no reset button.

So if this gacha fails, the gates of suffering are wide open until second job advancement.

The value difference between good and bad classes from the altar is at least double.

Depending on the class, the money you can earn per day could differ by several times.

Thinking that this one gacha determines my future daily wage suddenly makes me breathless.

Is this… the heart of an office worker sitting at a salary negotiation table?

“…”

While I was thinking such thoughts…

[The Constellations of Lumentia agree to use the ‘Dice of Fate’.]

[Primordial light dwells in the dice.]

[Settlement has been completed.]

Finally, a message appeared saying the settlement was finished.

“…!”

[The Dice of Fate determines the class.]

Rooooll-!

I want to get hired at a solid mid-sized company with steady paychecks, even if not a major corporation…

So please!

Constellation-nims… couldn’t you give me something good? Please?

[First job advancement successful!]

[Job Class: Seraphist]

…?

Seeing the class name, I momentarily froze and blinked my eyes.

A completely new class in my 1200th Lyka life.

There was a first-tier class I didn’t know about?

-Bros, do you know about the ‘Seraphist’ class?

└ Oh! Finally job advanced?

└ Seems like a hidden class.

└ Shit lol then what he got from all this show must be a hidden class lol

└ ‘Light’ is included as a modifier in a first-tier class.

└ Don’t know what it is but seems rare.

└ Is it based on alchemist?

└ No, that’s a bit strange for an alchemist. Among the alchemy-related classes I know, there’s not a single class named ‘Alchemist’.

└ Now that you mention it, you’re right.

└ Then what is it?

Phew.

I didn’t have high expectations, but… the Constellations aren’t being helpful.

In that case, I’ll have to look at the job change stats and class skills to rack my brain a bit…

[Job change successful. Job change stats will be granted.]

[These stats will disappear if you change to another class.]

[All stats +50%]

[Dexterity + 80]

[Affinity + 80]

[Leadership + 60]

If I had to guess.

Both the wording “Alchemist” and the class additional stat categories give off the scent of a production class.

Hmm.

Plus the numerical values of the class stats seem quite large…

Could this be a gacha success?

[You have acquired the class-exclusive active skill ‘Lumen Synthesis’.]

[You have acquired the class-exclusive active skill ‘Seraphic Forge’.]

[You have acquired the class-exclusive passive skill ‘Offering of Life’.]

…I’m running my happy circuits thinking this, but honestly I can’t predict anything until I actually try it out.

Even looking at the class-exclusive skill names, I can’t tell what this class actually does.

This is really the first time I’ve encountered this kind of situation with a 1st job change.

Ding-!

[‘Seeker’s Altar’ Quest successfully cleared.]

[‘Ark of the Firmament’ departs from ‘Pilgrim’s Relic’.]

I’m… going to be okay, right?

[‘Ark of the Firmament’ docks at ‘Alterion Continent’.]

Still, well… it’s better than being ‘unemployed’, right?

* * *

Belpherion, the stronghold city of the Demon Realm.

Whirr-

Whirrr-!

At the ‘Burning Seal Stone Plaza’, the only safe zone in the entire Demon Realm Field, a massive portal opened and players appeared.

“Huff- ha.”

“I really thought I was going to die this time.”

But for some reason, the players’ condition was terrible.

Their full-body armor being tattered was the norm, and there were quite a few players covered in blood from head to toe.

Even the priests and ranged dealers who appeared to be rear support positions – there didn’t seem to be a single player in decent condition.

However, the players’ expressions contrasted with their appearance.

They all looked quite elated.

“Still, this actually worked. Really.”

“Hero, you worked hard.”

“Everyone really worked hard.”

This party was an Ashen Citadel expedition team composed entirely of Korean rankers.

Having succeeded in raiding ‘Ashen Sword Saint Kalador’, the eighth calamity of the Demon Realm, they couldn’t help but be filled with elation no matter how tired and exhausted they were.

“This makes us the first domestic party, right?”

“Probably.”

“In the first place, there probably aren’t even five parties including us that have taken down Kalador as a single-nation party, right?”

“Wow…!”

Moreover, the clear rewards were worth over 100,000 LP per person on average.

This was a considerable amount even by ranker standards.

So it was perhaps too natural that some rankers had grins stretching from ear to ear.

“But I… don’t think I could do it twice.”

“I agree. Hehe.”

“Honestly, if it wasn’t for Hero at the end, we would have faced total annihilation. Well, we would have torn a scroll before getting wiped out…”

Players sitting down in the open area, maintaining their equipment while having various conversations.

The Hero, who had been watching them for a moment, caught her breath and fell into thought.

[Do you desire this fragment?]

[Ash does not grant freedom.]

[It is the color of subjugation.]

Recalling Kalador’s dialogue for a moment, the Hero stared intently at the ashen metal fragment in her hand.

[Fragment of the Ashen Sword]

‘Jerathos’s Flag’ and ‘Fragment of the Ashen Sword’.

Having finally obtained both of these items, the remaining Quest would have to be tackled with her own strength alone.

‘I collected the Quest items faster than expected. Now if I just do well… I might succeed in job changing within a month.’

Even up until this expedition, she wasn’t certain that this Quest was a hidden 3rd job change Quest.

But now, having conquered the Ashen Citadel and confirmed Kalador’s dialogue with her own eyes, she was even certain of the class name of that hidden class.

Long ago… the holy knight Kalador who had guarded the front lines and fought bloody battles with demons.

Having confirmed that the ‘Ashen Sword Saint’, the eighth calamity of the Demon Realm, and ‘Holy Knight Kalador’ from ancient mythology were the same person, there were no more variables.

‘As I suspected. Completing Kalador’s redemption story and job changing to Radiant Sword Saint… that was the final objective of this Quest.’

Information about the 3rd job change class called ‘Radiant Sword Saint’ didn’t exist anywhere yet.

But it was almost certain that this class was among the highest tier of hidden classes.

Among the 3rd job classes that had appeared so far, classes with the modifier ‘Sword Saint’… were all tremendous enough to be evaluated as ‘beyond specifications’.

So the Hero’s anxious heart could now calm down a bit.

“Wow… is our VARGA finally getting a 3rd job change ranker?”

“Keep your voice down, Ranker Ryuganho.”

Kato’s usual teasing, which would normally have made her snap, she could now accept leisurely, even calling him by his real name.

“Hey, anyway, it’s done now, right? You have to keep your promise?”

“The Dragon Knight raid?”

“Yeah.”

“Don’t worry. When have you seen me break a promise?”

So now, it would be nice if just one more thing could be resolved.

‘Speaking of which, Silver Knights… why the hell haven’t these guys contacted me?’

The original owner of Jerathos’s flag that Silver Knights was supposed to track down and inform her about.

She still hadn’t received word about his identity.

‘These aren’t usually the type to be this slow with their work.’

The reason she hadn’t canceled the request despite already obtaining Jerathos’s flag was because she had learned new facts.

A fact she had accidentally learned during her last conversation with Silver Knights about the request.

– SKG Ryu Gangmin: We’re searching with all our might, Hero. Please wait a little longer and we’ll contact you again.

– Oh, no. I wasn’t contacting you to rush you…

– SKG Ryu Gangmin: It’s fine. We already failed the request once, so we’re the ones who should be sorry.

– …

That was the information that the seller of Jerathos’s flag probably also had numbered equipment.

– SKG Ryu Gangmin: As you know, Hero, numbered equipment dropped along with Jerathos’s flag, didn’t it?

– Uh… did it?

– SKG Ryu Gangmin: Yes, that’s why the higher-ups are extremely interested. The reason we said we had to find ‘him’ was because of that.

‘Numbered equipment… There’s definitely something there, isn’t there?’

Anyway, since they farmed on the Island of Beginnings, they’re definitely a low-level player.

But looking at the circumstances, no matter how I think about it, they don’t seem like an ordinary person.

So the Hero wanting to find him wasn’t because she was angry about buying Jerathos’s flag at a high price.

Anyway, that was how it was.

‘I might not have known before, but now that I do know…’

Having finished her maintenance, she slowly stood up from her seat.

“Why are you getting up? Didn’t you say we’d wait until Master arrives?”

“I remembered somewhere I need to go.”

Since there was still some time left before the Quest began, she should try to find the seller directly in the meantime.

With that thought, the Hero decided to log out for now.

‘I should go to the Administration Bureau first.’

In a way, her searching directly might be the fastest method.

She was the only one who knew the seller’s player name… since she had directly purchased Jerathos’s flag.

“You better explain things well to Master.”

“Hey!”

If she remembered correctly, the player name was ‘Dave’.

‘Hmm.’

If he was someone with such detailed information that he could pin the blame(?) on her.

And if such a person had even gotten his hands on unique equipment.

Perhaps he might have other information she needed as well.

For instance, special information related to Jerathos’s flag.

‘He might have more information than I thought.’

And surprisingly…

Her speculation was quite accurate in a certain sense.
