The Capitalist Streaming of a Freeloading Hero

Episode 34

The Game of Constellations [Lyka]

I thought about it for a moment, but no matter how much I think about it, I’ve never even done a similar Quest like this before.

So to explain this situation, I think I have no choice but to find the reason in ‘possession’.

These fragmentary pieces of knowledge that I should never know, yet somehow feel like I do know.

I seemed to have gained some of the memories of this body, ‘Raphael Ester’.

If that weren’t the case… there’s no way I could understand what that old man, whose age I can’t even guess, is saying so naturally.

“So let me say it again, all of you must create a sturdy ‘vessel’ that can contain will (Ego) starting from today.”

The headmaster of this Academy, and the master of this body… Raphael Ester.

I shouldn’t have known information about this old man called by the alias ‘Platinum Sage’ either.

“The most important Lumen refining stone. The sap tree infused with light. These two things must be prepared sufficiently…”

Even the appearance of materials I never got to see during beta play immediately comes to mind as soon as I hear their names.

“If you can create a vessel where light refined with Lumen Stone can remain for more than 2 hours based on ‘Solar Time’… you could be said to have proven the minimum qualifications as a Seraphist.”

This means I could easily understand what I need to do from now on.

“As long as you use all the designated materials, the formulas and methods are all up to each individual’s freedom. Using additional materials is also possible, so feel free to demonstrate your capabilities.”

So this first Quest is ultimately…

It was a Quest containing the ‘refinement formula creation process’ of the Seraphist’s first unique skill, ‘Lumen Refinement Formula’.

“Anyway, the results… will be judged directly by the light…”

By the way…

Giving class guidance like this feels more friendly than I expected, doesn’t it?

‘Even going so far as to possess an ancient NPC.’

Originally, class main Quests are designed to help understand the corresponding class.

However, this ‘Seraphist’ class has been nothing but unfriendly so far… I was worried they might give me another strange Quest.

But if things continue with the current flow, it feels like a standard guide Quest without any major rough edges.

At this rate, it seems like there won’t be any problems clearing it just by following the Quest flow.

‘Right. There should be some easy-going Quests like this too.’

Isn’t that too hasty a judgment?

No.

Because… in the mind of Raphael that I’ve possessed, everything about how to create a ‘vessel that contains ego’ is already there.

This means that if I just follow the memories injected into my head, I can easily clear the Quest that old man gave me.

‘Hehe.’

So this is… really the guide Quest for that hidden class that suddenly dropped me into a level 40+ field?

Am I finally going to freeload a bit too?

└ As if lol

└ There’s definitely going to be something else.

└ Actually, there has to be.

-Ahㅠㅠ Why?ㅠㅠ Let’s take it easy, easy, bros.

└ Then it wouldn’t be fun~

└ But honestly, Room Owner, you know it too, right?

Huh? Know what?

└ That hidden Quest difficulty is always proportional to rarity.

…

Damn.

I want to argue back with something, but I can’t deny it.

Perhaps the Quest difficulty calculation law the Constellations are talking about now… was the part I felt most painfully during beta play.

Simply put, the higher the rarity of this ‘Seraphist’ hidden class I obtained, the higher the difficulty of the connected Quests will inevitably be.

Then what’s the objective rarity of my class?

Phew… honestly, it’s immeasurable.

Even after playing the beta version for eons, I had never seen it even once.

So what the Constellations are saying is…

Even if the Quest development method is friendly, the difficulty can never be easy.

“Hmm.”

Suddenly, a very deep sigh escapes from my core.

Phewww.

When you suddenly hit me with facts like that, it hurts too much, doesn’t it?

└ lol Look at Room Owner getting dejected lol

Maybe… I was running my hope circuit thinking there could be an exception at least once.

└ Nope, not happening.

As expected…

My Lyka life couldn’t be that easy.

Selia immediately confirmed this prophecy from the Constellations.

“By the way, Raphael. Are you really… going to attempt ‘Draco Refinement’?”

Somehow… it has an ominous name that reminds me of that unlikable fairy.

“Huh? What do you mean…”

“You boasted about it. That you’d complete and show a Draco refinement formula for this assignment.”

“Did I… say that?”

“Anyway, I’m really looking forward to it, Raphael. If you succeed with that as your graduation project…! Even my parents will have no choice but to acknowledge you now.”

A suddenly occurring K-morning drama-like line.

And several times more absurd than the content of this line… a new Quest message window that appeared before my eyes.

Ding-!

As I read through it, I became so flustered that I was beyond bewildered.

The Quest content… was far, far beyond common sense.

[‘Raphael’s Memory-A’ Quest’s sub-Quest is proceeding.]

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Raphael’s Memory-A

《Dragon Soul Research》

Category: Class-Sub

Difficulty: SS

Raphael was the first graduate in Academy history to create a ‘Lumen Vessel’ by processing dragon corpses.

He directly hunted Draco in the dragon vein regions of Southern Asterion and researched ‘Dragon Ego’…

…omitted…

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Draco? Dragon veins?

Don’t tell me at level 22 right now… I have to face dragons???

What kind of nonsense is this?

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

By hunting Draco to collect dragon bones and dragon scales, and increasing understanding of dragon souls based on that, you will surely be able to create a ‘vessel that can contain dragon souls’ just like Raphael did.

…omitted…

If you recreate the ‘Draco Refinement Formula’ that Raphael created in the past according to the ‘arrangement of memories’ he left behind, you can obtain rewards proportional to the completion level of that refinement formula.

-Quest Achievement Conditions

A. Achieve 60% or higher understanding of [Refinement Target: Draco].

 Reward: Skill Points +1

B. Achieve 80% or higher understanding of [Refinement Target: Draco].

 Reward: Skill Points +2

C. Achieve 90% or higher understanding of [Refinement Target: Draco].

 Reward: Skill Points +3

* Skill Points will be awarded after all connected Quests are completed.

* If you fail to achieve 60% or higher understanding, you cannot obtain any rewards.

〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓〓

Someone who knows a bit about Lyka might see this Quest and say something like this.

└ lololol that’s insane lol Draco in a 1st job advancement main quest???

└ This isn’t a Quest made to be cleared, is it?

And there’s a very high probability they’d add this:

└ Yeah, it’s just a side quest anyway, so they’re probably just telling us to ignore it and keep going.

These reactions would be very reasonable responses.

└ No way lol They’re putting up a Quest as a sub-quest that can’t even be cleared? Is the system trolling the room leader? lol

└ They probably made it a side quest because it’s unbeatable lol If they put something like this in the main quest, you wouldn’t be able to progress at all lol

└ Holy shit lol even the system is teabagging in this room lololol

└ Ahhhh this is all karma for that room leader bastard lololol

But here, I can only answer like this.

How is this a sub Quest?

-This isn’t a sub quest, bros. Anyway, it’s not.

└ ???

└ Didn’t the Room Owner just share his quest window with us?

└ It’s written there??? It says sub Quest???

-Have you ever seen a sub quest that gives 3 SP, bros?

└ Uh, hmm….

-Does the option to give up on this even exist in the first place?

In Lyka, skill points are quite a precious resource.

In the system, the only way to get skill points in Lyka is through class main Quests….

Usually, you only get about 1-2 points each time you clear a main Quest chapter.

Generally, the skill points you can collect before the 2nd class change are around 10SP.

So giving 3 skill points from one sub Quest was practically coercion.

It means the reward is so devastating that you can’t even imagine skipping it and moving on.

└ Hahahahaha that’s hilarious hahaha 

└ Right, right ㅋㅋ 

└ Room Owner is smart;; You absolutely have to clear it, so this can’t be called a sub Quest;;

└ Yeah, it’s better to just give up the class rather than get fewer skill points lol

There are statistics showing that each skill point converts to combat power equivalent to being 3 levels stronger….

If I skip this Quest, I’m basically losing about 10 levels worth of power.

Moreover, this concept of skill points… is structured to carry over even through 2nd and 3rd class changes, unless you completely change to a different class.

Considering that the value of 1 level increases exponentially as your level gets higher, the reward of 3 SP is so valuable it can’t even be calculated.

So….

└ We have to go hunt the Draco… right?

We have to go, bros.

└ But the Draco I know is at least level 80 or higher… you okay?

I’m not really okay.

└ Who knows. Looking at how the magical beasts appeared at level 20 on the Island of Beginnings before, maybe the level is lower because it’s a different field?

└ Even so, minimum is 60.

└ Yeah? Why?

└ Races with dragon blood flowing in their bodies can’t be lower than level 60.

Actually, I have a rough idea of that Draco’s level.

How do I predict it?

Though the timing and timeframe of this Quest progression are quite different….

Anyway, the Astherion Southern Dragon Vein Region is a Hidden Dungeon I visited during beta play.

The Draco that appeared there was around level 60.

As the Constellations said, having dragon race below level 60 is impossible according to Lyka’s world setting….

Essentially, Asterion’s dragon vein region was the lowest difficulty dungeon where dragon race appeared.

‘Of course, even so, hunting it at my current level is insanely difficult….’

It’s been a while since I felt this hopeless, no matter how much I rack my brain.

Draco isn’t like the Lumen Ghosts with clear weaknesses.

But I think there’s definitely a way, and the reason for that is actually simple.

[Difficulty : SS]

The difficulty set by the system doesn’t lie.

Quests with no way to clear them… don’t get assigned a difficulty rating.

But thinking about it, something’s a bit strange?

‘Wait. SS? That’s it?’

If it’s a Quest where a level 22 has to kill a level 60+ dragon race, it should normally be at least triple S difficulty…?

‘Is there something I’m missing?’

While thinking that, a new System Message suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Ding-!

[You have received the 《Dragon Soul Research》 sub Quest.]

[Conditions have been met.]

[Synchronization with ‘Raphael Ester’s’ body will proceed.]

Uh….

Wasn’t synchronization already done?

[Synchronization in progress.]

[1%…7%…27%…69%…]

Wooooong-!

[Synchronization complete.]

[Player level adjusted to 105Lv.]

What?

Really?

Level 105 makes you a ranker in this area, doesn’t it?

[All of the player’s stats have greatly increased.]

This bastard Raphael… I’m sure he was just a little Academy cadet….

This is ancient-level?

└ System favoritism, stop!!
