The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero

Episode 28

The Game of Constellations [Lyka]

The continent that players first arrive at after leaving the Island of Beginnings.

The Continent of Peace and Order, Alterion… was the largest continent in the Lyka worldview, and the second place that all players inevitably had to pass through.

-All players who play Lyka gather here after graduating from the Island of Beginnings.

-Usually, the level range for staying on the Alterion Continent is 20-60, making it the home base for the largest player population.

* According to statistics from the World Awakener Association, 80% of all players are included in the 30-50 level range.

-Also, from here onwards, players from around the world share the same channel, so you’ll encounter various players.

* But don’t worry about communication. Inside the Gate, any language is converted to the ‘Continental Common Language.’

– Awakened Wiki

– Excerpt from [Alterion Continent] entry

Therefore, I naturally arrived at the Alterion Continent immediately after clearing the Quest.

However, the location I warped to wasn’t the Lumis Domain where ordinary players usually arrive…

This wasn’t particularly surprising either.

└ As expected, not a domain start.

└ There’s no way a hidden class would drop in a domain;;

└ There are actually quite a few cases among hidden classes that start with territory/domain ㅇㅇ

└ Anyway, congrats to the room leader for getting rid of the newbie label lol

└ ;;Was this bastard ever actually a newbie?

Swordsman, Archer, Mage, Knight, and Assassin.

These are the five classes that most users obtain as their 1st class change.

For these five classes, ‘Class Guilds’ exist in the Lumis Domain.

Therefore, ordinary users arrive at the Lumis Domain immediately after clearing their class change Quest, then visit their respective class guilds to proceed with class main Quests.

On the other hand, hidden classes usually don’t have class guilds, so they’re dropped in various locations where they can proceed with Quests related to their class.

So for me, having obtained a strange class even among hidden classes…

If I had opened my eyes in the Lumis Domain, that would have been stranger.

However…

└ But where is this place?

└ Why is the field so gloomy and dark;;

└ Is it a cave? It’s so dark it’s hard to identify the space;;

└ Room Owner, do you know where this is?

That said, I do think dropping him into Lumentis Hollow was perhaps going a bit too far.

Still, dropping me in Lumentis Hollow seems a bit too much.

How did I know where this was?

[The place where light was born, the land before it became darkness.]

[This is a forbidden zone where remnants of the first light that God shed when creating the world remain.]

This is exactly the message that appears when first entering Lumentis Hollow.

Phew.

-So this message appeared… does any Constellation know where this is?

When I turned message sharing back on after it had been turned off during the field transition, the Constellations started murmuring.

└ Huh?

└ I’ve seen this somewhere;;

└ That’s right;; 

└ That’s right;; 

└ Wait, what; is this for real???

└ ¯(ºдಠ)/¯

The Constellations also seemed quite flustered.

└ What the;;

└ That’s hilarious lol I would’ve had a mental breakdown for real

Well, that makes sense….

And for good reason…

Setting aside all the other shitty elements, this is a level 40s hunting ground.

I’ve been dropped in dangerous fields many times while changing to various hidden classes, but this is truly the first time it’s been this unethical.

Of course, I couldn’t say such things to the Constellations.

-Bros, what’s Lumentis?

Well, it feels like there’s already an implicit agreement between the Constellations and me that I’m not an ordinary newbie.

But still, it’s good to act like a newbie at times like this.

I need to look appropriately pitiful for the Constellations to sponsor me, right?

└ Just tear up your scroll right now and return to your territory lol

-Why? I heard that when you first arrive on the continent, you have to start with the class main quest or whatever it’s called.

-Why? I heard that when you first arrive on a continent, you should start with the class main quest or something.

└ Well, if you really want to get your head cracked open….

└ If you really want to see your head get smashed…

└ Leave it lol it’s funny lol

When you really look at it, those constellation guys are actually pretty cute.

Looking at them, even these Constellation bastards are quite cute.

When I pretend not to know like this, I can see them grinning through the chat.

└ But wait, could this be Room Owner’s deception tactic?

└ Advanced teabagging… it’s not something like that, right?

Ugh.

This is why I hate perceptive Constellations.

-For now, there’s only one path, so I’ll go a bit further along it, bros.

└ Everything else is fine, but we can’t die, right boss?

└ Everything else is fine, but don’t die, Room Owner?

└ For real lol don’t die, room leader!

Gee… I’m so touched that you’re even worried about my safety. It brings tears to my eyes.

Gee… I’m so touched that you’re even worried about my safety.

But if you’re worried about me, shouldn’t you at least tell me what level field this is?

Of course, I understand you want to see me get screwed over…

But still!

How is it that not a single Constellation explains what kind of place Lumentis Mine is until the very end?

“…”

Maybe they think that even in the worst case, I’m not stupid enough to die without even being able to tear a scroll.

Actually, having even bought Horus’s Feather, I had a solid safety measure.

But… even so, it’s disappointing, you know?

Hmm…

I was thinking such thoughts when. 

Ding-!

[You have successfully completed ‘The Golden Master’s mission.]

A System Message that would blow away my disappointment in one shot appeared before my eyes.

[You gain 5000LP as a reward.]

[Your Fame increases by +1 as a reward.]

Kya-

This is it.

-Thank you, bro!

[Constellation ‘The Golden Master’ says “I will continue to watch over you.”]

For our Constellation to say they’ll continue watching over me, I’m simply overwhelmed by such grace.

I shall strive even harder.

So please absolutely don’t go anywhere else and keep watching, okay?

* * *

Fire-type mage Elicia Rowell was a graduate student at UCL, a prestigious university in London.

The subject she majored in there was chemical engineering.

So she… never dreamed that she would undergo something called awakening.

Lowell simply liked experiments a bit more than others, and was just obsessed with burning things.

Being the only daughter of a considerably wealthy family, she felt no interest in becoming a player and making a name for herself.

“Awakening? Player? I’m not really interested in such things.”

But after learning a bit more about the world of Lyka, the situation changed.

She, who had lived cooped up in the research lab… quit even graduate school and became completely absorbed in Lyka.

The reason for this was simple.

In this world of Lyka, she could conduct the explosion experiments she wanted to do even more freely.

Whoosh-!

Bang- Boom boom-!

In Lyka, there was no danger from conducting explosion experiments, and no need to worry about the lab catching fire.

So she didn’t even have the thought of wanting to level up as a player.

After all, the reason she entered the Gate in the first place was solely for ‘experiments’.

This was why she remained at level 1 for almost over 3 years after awakening.

“If I ever do something called a class change, wouldn’t mage be good? Then I could conduct more diverse experiments.”

So if a ‘turning point’ hadn’t come to her.

She might never have left Bereshit for her entire life.

[Your understanding of ‘Element: Fire’ has reached a critical point.]

[You have gained enlightenment about ‘Mana’.]

[A ‘Ring of Fire’ is generated in your mana hall.]

She was quite a special mage who developed the concept of ‘circles’ even before changing class to a mage.

“Huh?”

Whoosh-!

“This… is quite convenient, isn’t it?”

Having become able to handle fire with magic, she began to think more seriously about becoming a mage.

So she leveled up.

After all, they said you needed to be level 20 for something called a class change to be possible.

When she diligently conducted ‘combustion reaction experiments’ on monsters, her level grew naturally.

[You have gained experience points.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have reached level 20.]

That’s how she was able to become a mage.

[1st class change successful!]

[Class changed to: Pyro Sorcerer]

Of course, obtaining a hidden class wasn’t something she intended at all…

She wasn’t even curious about how it happened, and that was just a very minor variable.

“So Lowell, you’re a level 37 fire mage? And you can use about 2 types of area fire magic.”

“Yes, that’s right. Is there anything that might be a problem?”

“Hmm… I am a bit worried…”

[Player ‘Rainer Bellic’ invites you to the party.]

“But according to Nobin, you’ll definitely handle the DPS… and we are an experienced party, so it should be fine.”

“Thank you!”

So today too, Lowell was diligently playing Lyka to gather experimental materials.

The experimental material that had recently caught her interest was ‘Lumen Ore’ that could be obtained from a place called ‘Lumentis Mine’.

* * *

Lumentis Mine is a more famous place than expected.

To be precise, it’s famous as a hunting ground known as an essential level 40 hunting course for mage class players.

And for good reason, since the most frequently appearing monster here, the Lumen Ghost, was the most convenient prey for mages focused on extreme DPS builds.

They possessed powerful attack power but had frail vitality like paper.

And since they moved in swarms, they were weak to area attacks from mage parties.

Of course, even so, it was burdensome for a mage to hunt alone here, but at least almost every party hunting here tried to bring at least one mage dealer as essential.

‘So if I were also a mage-type class, it would have been much easier…’

The problem was that right now I had no useful combat skills, let alone area magic.

Even though I had clearly changed classes.

And to a ‘hidden class’ no less.

└ This class entry barrier is really brutal lol

└ But for ‘Daive’, this level is balanced lol

└ For real lol

The Constellations aren’t excited for nothing.

When you read the skill descriptions, it’s truly a total disaster.

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Lumen Synthesis

(Lumen Synthesis)

Classification: Active Skill

Skill Level: 1Lv

Proficiency Grade: F

Mana Cost: None

Lumen Cost: 100

– When defeating a target with 100% synthesis understanding, you can obtain synthesis materials.

*Synthesis understanding increases as you research the target.

– When you gather synthesis materials and secure sufficient Lumen energy, you can create a ‘Lumen Synthesis Formula’.

– The more you create synthesis formulas, the more your proficiency grade improves.

– You can use synthesis formulas by utilizing the Seraphic Forge skill.

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Moreover, even after reading it, I can barely understand it, but no matter how I look at it, it’s not a problem with my reading comprehension, right?

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Seraphic Forge

(Seraphic Forge)

Classification: Active Skill

Skill Level: 1Lv

Proficiency Grade: F

Mana Cost: None

LP Cost: 100

– Using a completed Lumen Synthesis Formula, you can create creatures.

– Depending on the nature of the synthesis formula, creatures can take various forms.

– The more you attempt synthesis, the more your proficiency level improves.

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

I understood up to the point that I need to make something with ‘Lumen Synthesis Formula’, then use the ‘Seraphic Forge’ skill with that to craft something.

But I hit a wall starting from the part about needing to increase synthesis understanding.

It says I need to research the target, but how exactly am I supposed to do research?

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Offering of Life

(Offering of Life)

Classification: Passive Skill

– This skill is currently in an inactive state.

– This skill will be unlocked upon successful creation of your first creature.

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Even the last skill is still locked…

So you’re saying I need to hunt level 45 monsters in a state that’s basically no class?

└ Yeah, seems like it?

└ If it’s a Room Owner going insane, I’m all for it lol

└ lolol Room Owner’s having a mental breakdown lol

└ Ahh lol so sweet lolol

└ If you pressed the Class Gacha button so recklessly, you should get punished now lol

└ Even for the Room Owner, folding once would be the right call here.

Phew.

It’s definitely an insane difficulty level.

So the standard approach here would be to tear a scroll first and run to Lumis Domain.

Build up some foundation by taking sub quests in Lumis Domain…

Level up sufficiently, then challenge the class main quest.

Yeah.

That would definitely be the normal judgment.

But.

-Let’s give it a try.

└ ???????

└ You’re not going home?

└ Don’t tell me you don’t have scrolls?

└ He probably doesn’t have Alterion scrolls yet.

└ Even if he doesn’t, he can buy them from the trading post?

Still, I can’t just run away like this.

If I U-turn to town here, today’s LP loss would be no joke.

-I only tear scrolls when my inventory is full, bros.

Besides, Alterion Continent scrolls cost at least 50LP?

└ What????

└ Crazy bastard lololololol

└ He’s really insane lolol

Leaving behind the excited chatter of the Constellations, I took out and equipped my trusty sword after a long time.

Ding-

[‘Moonlight Sword’ item has been equipped.]

[Stats have increased.]

Since they’re ghost-type mobs, physical damage doesn’t work well, but I still have to try somehow.

The key is to pull them one by one as much as possible…

Swoosh-!

But the very next moment.

As I was making resolute preparations and planning, I had no choice but to pause my thoughts.

Bang- Boom boom-!!

A massive roar came from somewhere, along with the sound of rubble collapsing.

└ What’s that??

└ Is it a Krite Worm?

└ You’d have to go much deeper for that to spawn?

That roar was an unpredictable variable even for me, so I had no choice but to approach more cautiously.

With that thought, I began moving my steps carefully again…

“Lowell! Wait!!”

The identity of that roar soon revealed itself before my eyes in a somewhat different form than expected.

“I cast Flare Storm!”

A rather high-pitched female player’s voice coming from beyond the stone wall.

“—Huh? The party alignment was adjusted, right?

“…You didn’t? …Then it might be a bit hot…!”

Whoooosh-!

Though it contained some strange content, that was definitely the voice of a normal(?) player party.
