The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero

Episode 33

The Game of Constellations [Lyka]

After defeating the Crait Worm.

Our party disbanded.

From the beginning, the three members excluding me had the goal of clearing Bellic’s Quest in this mine raid…

Since that was accomplished, there was no reason to stay here any longer.

Bellic, who thanked me once more, was grinning from ear to ear for some reason as he tore his return scroll, and Nobin also quietly followed him back to the Lumis Domain.

But for some reason, Lowell was still remaining in the mine.

She said she had some business to take care of, but that wasn’t my concern.

For now, the most important thing for me was receiving my class main Quest.

Clang- Clang-!

└ But you said you were going to get the main quest, why are you suddenly mining?;;

└ Maybe he got excited after we praised his pickaxe skills;

└ There are a lot of ores in the boss room though lol 

└ Our Room Owner’s specialty: Can’t resist farming junk items.

Claaang-!

Hey now, junk items?

Such hurtful words.

-They all have their uses, brothers.

As the Constellations said, the Crait Worm boss room is essentially a massive vein itself.

So since I bought a pickaxe anyway, if I thoroughly strip this boss room clean, I should get at least 50~70kg of high-purity raw stones alone.

If I sweep up everything, it’ll be over 200kg.

└ We’ve decided to call that stuff ‘junk items.’

└ That Lumen ore stuff, even at the highest price it’s probably not even 2LP per kg lol

Those Constellation bastards really don’t know the value of LP.

Even at 1LP per kg, that’s over 50LP…

To treat such honest labor as farming junk.

└ Is this really the same guy who just earned 3000LP from one mission?

That’s right.

└ Still, it feels like just yesterday you were picking up obsidian powder… Lumen ore is quite an improvement haha

└ Info) It really was just yesterday;;

But actually, I wasn’t doing this just thinking about selling minerals either.

Like I said, the most important thing for me right now is receiving the main Quest, right?

Claaang-!

So this pickaxe work is actually just a process to find the ‘broken statue.’

Of course, there’s the orthodox method of searching through the Abandoned Mine Maze…

Rumble- Crumble-!

Since I already bought a pickaxe anyway, why would I need to do that when I can just break through one wall like this?

└ Σ(・Д・)!?

└ Why did the cave wall suddenly collapse?;;;

└ How do you even know about routes like this ffs

└ This bastard’s methods are just different, for real;;

└ No lol I really can’t predict anything lol

└ Isn’t that the Room Owner’s charm?

└ Agreed

-Crash!

After about 10 minutes of hammering the wall… with a thunderous roar, the stone wall collapsed, revealing a small space behind it.

What then entered my sight was a beautiful goddess statue that was still emitting white light despite being half corroded or broken.

Ding-!

[‘Broken Lumentis Statue’ has been discovered.]

[‘Lumentis Goddess’s Blessing’ is activated.]

[For 1 hour, you will receive +1% health regeneration effect.]

Upon discovering it, my heart began to race.

Soon, I would be able to learn a bit more about the true nature of this peculiar class called ‘Seraphist’ that I had obtained.

└ Right. The Room Owner was looking for this.

└ Normally you’d have to go way around to find this ffs;;

└ But wasn’t this just an object placed there to give buffs when farming the mine?

└ I thought so too

└ Who knew there’d be a class change quest connected to this lol

Step- Step-

As I walked closer to the goddess statue, a gentle light emanating from my body softly settled upon the statue.

And the next moment.

Shatter-!

Like layers of thin glass shards bursting outward, with a sharp sound, beams of light shot out from the goddess statue.

[Conditions have been met.]

[The ‘Primordial Light’ sleeping deep underground awakens.]

[The forgotten beings that existed in ancient times, the Seraphists, are restored to the world.]

Primordial Light.

A brilliant spectacle of light I had never seen before, truly worthy of that name.

└ Oh, is it going to show us something amazing?

└ Damn;; What’s with this eye flash

Without realizing it, I was staring at it and took a step forward.

Whooom-!

And at the same time…

My vision turned white, and the world began to spin.

* * *

During the time when the sun rose three times and set three times, there was an era on the ancient continent of ‘Asterion’ when people still spoke in the language of gods.

Among the ancient people of that era, there existed those who handled [Light] called ‘Lumen,’ and those who understood the heart of that light were called Seraphists.

[Lumen, awaken the sleeping will.]

[I can hear the song of light… They are calling their own names.]

They were neither simple mages nor craftsmen. They were those who interpreted the structure of the world and imbued ‘will’ into the shells of existence.

Thus the light they handled imitated and created many things in the world, and therefore people feared that Seraphists had stolen divine authority.

They thought humans had stolen the divine authority of ‘creation of life’ that only gods should possess.

But the Seraphists denied such accusations.

[No. It is not alive. It merely holds the ‘will’ to live.]

[We simply create vessels that can contain ‘Ego’…]

[This cannot be compared to the authority of creation.]

The Seraphists believed they must not steal or even slightly infringe upon divine authority.

That would be committing the sin of defying heaven’s providence.

But as time passed, the alchemy of light developed more brilliantly, and like any group, ‘heretics’ emerged.

[If light can hold will, why can’t that will complete itself?]

[We must complete their incompleteness. That would be God’s true will.]

[God stopped creating. But isn’t everything we see still made of light?]

They were indeed a great group.

Their minds were brilliant, rational, and even creative.

But their greatness soon brought divine wrath.

As attempts to forge life from light were repeated, the Sun God became enraged.

Foolish ones who cannot see the other side of brilliance,

Creation is both a blessing and a promise of suffering.

You did not possess the vessel to bear that suffering,

so now the light shall burn you.

That day, the sky was torn asunder.

The sun shed its seven layers and blazed forth, dyeing the entire continent white.

Cities crumbled in a single day, and the flow of Lumen ran wild beyond control,

as massive pillars of fire—the ‘Lumen Torrent’—carved between heaven and earth, devouring the world.

Light lost its life, and life lost its will.

Countless Seraphists vanished along with the creations they had made.

The vessels they had crafted remained as empty shells, scattering minute Lumen particles for thousands of years, bearing witness to divine wrath.

The sun had once been a symbol of grace that illuminated Asterion, but after that day, no one could look up at Asterion’s sky.

The continent fell silent.

Asterion’s Golden Tower collapsed, and the countless Lumen entities that had dwelt within scattered into darkness.

The alchemists’ records were scattered like sand and forgotten, while the survivors feared the light so much they wouldn’t even kindle lamps.

Only upon the ashen ruins, atop the massive pillars of the fallen Golden Tower…

was this single sentence carved.

[Though light burned away all sin, darkness remembers that original transgression.]

And Raphael Ester, who had been the greatest Seraphist and the last Alchemist of Light.

The final legacy he left behind slumbered in the deepest depths beneath the Golden Tower.

* * *

My head is spinning.

What the hell did I just see?

Having experienced countless hidden classes on the Beta Server, I’d encountered this kind of class-related narrative before.

But usually, such grand narratives only appeared after at least the second job advancement.

And one more thing.

Ding-!

[You have inherited the will of the Seraphist.]

[You are receiving a new Quest.]

This was the first time in my entire Lyka playing history that a Quest had triggered this way.

“Raphael, what are you spacing out about again? Professor Martel is coming soon, you know?”

It seems like right now I’m…

possessed by the body of that ‘Last Seraphist’ called ‘Raphael Ester.’

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Raphael’s Memory-A

《Creating a Vessel of Ego》

Category: Class-Main (Linked)

Difficulty: –

You have been recognized by the Primordial Light and are the first to access the arrangements left by ‘Raphael, the greatest Seraphist.’

From now on, you must earn Raphael’s recognition within his arrangements and obtain the legacy he left behind to become a true Seraphist.

…Omitted…

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

This type of Quest itself is a first for me…

It’s quite intriguing.

You’re saying the content wasn’t that interesting?

It’s not intriguing because it’s fun, but because I’m finally starting to get a sense of what this hidden class I obtained actually does.

This alchemy that Seraphists perform.

It probably feels like creating ‘summons’ that can be used in combat.

Judging by how the Seraphists in the class narrative created and commanded all sorts of monsters.

└ Damn, what is this now, Room Owner?

└ This is insane;; I’ve never seen a Quest like this before?

As expected, this is a first for you guys too, right?

I feel a bit better knowing even the Constellations don’t know about this.

It’s proof that this is such a rare class.

Anyway, I’m glad I can still see the Constellations’ chat even while possessed.

One of my main jobs(?) is streaming, so there can’t be any disruptions to that.

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

…Omitted…

First, within Raphael’s memory, prove your ‘qualifications as an Alchemist of Light.’

If you succeed in creating a vessel that can contain the will of light (Ego), you will be recognized as having minimum qualifications.

Reward: Pickaxe of Light, ??? Transmutation Formula

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

…The reward does feel quite unique.

Well, it’s not like this is a Quest I can choose not to proceed with just because I don’t like the reward.

Besides, since it’s a linked Quest that will continue further, there will probably be additional rewards.

└ What’s that ??? Transmutation Formula in the rewards?

└ Pickaxe of Light lololol

└ Even the Quest knows that Room Owner specializes in grinding labor.

No, that’s not it.

What exactly do these Constellations think I am…

“Hey!”

While I was thinking that, I heard the girl’s voice again from beside me.

“Raphael, you did hear what I said, right?”

Yes, I heard you.

“Uh- I said I heard you.”

I reflexively answered without thinking and turned to look beside me, where a girl in a deep blue robe was glancing at my face.

A pretty girl with blue eyes that sparkled like lapis lazuli and skin as white as jade.

Since the NPC is pretty, it feels like I can get more immersed in the Quest?

└ The possession Quest is pretty interesting.

└ Who’s the girl next to you? She’s fucking pretty.

Her name is ‘Selia Bellian.’

From the ‘Bellian Workshop Family’ of southern Asterion…

Wait, why do I know this?

What is this, it’s creepy.

└ Wtf did Room Owner already know about this place before coming in?

No, I didn’t.

What’s going on?

This time I feel quite wronged.

I’m really completely new to this Quest!
