Tone-Deaf Healer Kills with Song – Episode 065
“I’m logged in!”
“….”
I spoke with genuine excitement, but Jung Hwan-jae’s expression had turned grave. I couldn’t tell if he was even listening to me.
Whatever occupied his thoughts, he stared into empty space with a rather terrifying expression.
It was hard to believe this was the same person who had just been teaching me how to access the chat room with such kindness. I glanced around wondering if a dungeon had suddenly opened nearby, but there was nothing.
After a moment of hesitation, I poked his shoulder with my index finger.
Only then did he snap out of his deep thoughts, startled, and look at me.
“Is something wrong? Did someone say something to you?”
“Ah, no. I just received a message from Lucy and was checking it.”
“I see….”
If it was a matter concerning my handler, I wasn’t in a position to ask about it regardless of what had happened.
All I could do was nod slightly, hoping he would resolve it without issue.
He seemed to regain his composure and turned his attention back to me.
“Normally, even if people enter the same channel, they cannot see each other’s chat rooms.”
“But you and I can see each other’s messages, can’t we?”
“That’s because we’re close in proximity and belong to the same guild. If Ye-ah were to leave the guild, I wouldn’t be able to see your chat room from that point on.”
I see.
So you can only share a messenger if you’re both a ranked hunter and an employee of the same company.
The moment I logged in, as if the chat room had been waiting to open, messages came pouring down before my eyes.
“Is it possible that nickname settings aren’t available?”
“Well, they’re not available. It broadcasts using your hunter name. People have filed various complaints about this, but that’s how it is.”
I was in the middle of wondering what I would have chosen if nicknames were allowed when Liri’s messages suddenly came to mind.
[Liri: There were frequent attempts to impersonate others or attack under the guise of anonymity, so it became unavoidable.]
[Liri: Especially after the ranking system became standardized, most worlds experienced such incidents.]
[Liri: I don’t like your name being sold nationwide either! But there are some things I can’t change with my power alone….]
Worried that I might be dissatisfied with this restriction, Liri’s message was longer than usual, almost pleading.
It was fine. I didn’t mind at all.
I gazed at Liri’s message floating before me and gave a light shrug.
‘It’s okay. I don’t have any naming sense anyway, so even if I could have chosen, I probably would have just logged in as Yeom Ye-ah.’
“Senior, I understand how it works now. Of course, I’m not the type to chat frequently.”
“Yes, there will probably be many questions coming your way, but don’t worry—you can just ignore the ones you don’t want to answer.”
I nodded lightly.
‘Yeom Ye-ah’ has entered. (Rank 1)
‘Jung Hwan’ has entered. (Rank 1)
We welcome your first entry to the channel and grant you a 10% Skill Growth Acceleration buff for 48 hours.
We will continue to develop convenient features for the Awakened who dedicate themselves to ending Ragnarok.
The channel language has been set to ‘Korean’.
We support automatic translation to facilitate smooth communication with hunters using other languages.
We hope you have pleasant conversations. Balder does not intervene in discussions between Awakened, but actively backs up and provides relevant data in accordance with the laws of each world.
Please maintain proper netiquette in your interactions.
Sung Mi-ju (29)
Come on, come on—I told you to come so many times, and you still haven’t shown up ——
I’ve gotten asked when you’re arriving like 350 million times here
Joke (14)
I’m not doing that much.
I counted—it was sixteen times
That’s way too exaggerated. Three hundred million? It’s so over the top that I’m embarrassed.
Sung Mi-ju (29)
Just stay in your room. I’m wiping down the place now
Joke (14)
Got it, I’ll make my escape
Rosalind Brown (6)
Ye-ah, Ye-ah, Ye-ah, Ye-ah, Ye-ah!! I installed the Korean language patch just to see you. I’m writing in English right now, but I want to ask if it’s being transmitted correctly. Balder has all these new systems, so why does it use Earth’s translator? I’m curious why the translations come out so weird
Rensi (18)
Jung Hwan, I really learned a lot from our sparring match last time. If possible, could I get your personal contact information?
Dante (3)
Wouldn’t it be more correct to say “Could you give me” instead?
Brown (49)
HI
Facility Corporation (36)
By the way, when is Hanttae’s next recruitment announcement coming out? I left my guild after this ranking tournament ended. My ranking has improved a lot, and I think I’ll be able to contribute properly. I’m not Korean, but I think it’s time for Hanttae to try new things too. Since I can enter Korea even as a foreigner, please consider my application positively
Yeom Ye-ah (1)
Hello…
Rosalind Brown (6)
I was worried you weren’t reading the messages. It’s nice that we can talk like this through chat even from far away
I need to study Korean harder, even if it’s frustrating
Yeom Ye-ah (1)
I’m sorry my chat reading speed is a bit slow… Hunter Jung Hwan is also reading and reviewing each message one by one right now
Jung Hwan (1)
For related inquiries, please visit the Hanttae website
separately
Joke (14)
The Guild Master’s typing is seriously slow
Seriously slow. It’d be faster to send voice messages. But that’s not allowed
Sung Mi-ju (29)
Watch your mouth
Joke (14)
Huh?
Jung Hwan (1)
please do so.
Dante (3)
I’ll be heading to Korea soon, and I’ll visit you then. It’s on the official schedule, so I can’t decline.
And unlike my precious family, I’m quite fluent in Korean even without any special items.
Jung Hwan (1)
A visit isn’t
something you need to ask me about.
Dante (3)
Don’t worry. Hanttae’s official channel will coordinate the schedule, and we’ll definitely meet on a day when Hunter Jung Hwan has no dungeon raids or other commitments. Hunter Yeom Ye-ah will join us as well, so have no concerns.
Jung Hwan (1)
Please arrange the schedule through the official channel.
Yeom Ye-ah (1)
I—
Dante (3)
Yes.
Yeom Ye-ah (1)
It’s definitely, not definitely.
‘Yeom Ye-ah’ status changed to ‘Away’.
“…This is making me dizzy.”
Status options were divided into Online, Away, and Busy, and you could open and close direct messages as needed.
However, direct messages weren’t limited to just the fifty people in this channel—they included all hunters in the rankings, which was why it wasn’t recommended.
From my perspective, there was no need to shoulder all those risks and communicate with everyone.
“Normally, instead of jokes or group chats like this, constructive discussions about dungeons are shared here.”
“It’s lively and nice.”
Only familiar faces were chatting, though this was probably because there were so-called lurkers observing from the sidelines.
Even while I wasn’t watching, messages continued to pile up relentlessly. They said I could transfer them to my phone, but I didn’t want to take that risk.
My battery would drain in an instant.
I left the Dormitory with Jung Hwan-jae and teleported to the Hanttae building. What felt awkward at first had become quite familiar now.
Looking at the imposing structure as always, Sung Mi-ju came leaping down in front of it with a thud, gripping Sung Ji-wook by the hair.
‘If he were an ordinary person, he’d have died from the fall…’
As if the overwhelming ranking gap meant nothing in blood relations, Sung Ji-wook was thoroughly beaten and hung limp.
Normally such a composed and stoic person, he’d apparently taken the risk of teasing his older sister in the chat, and now he was paying the price.
Sung Mi-ju treated what was in her hands not as a human but as a punching bag, and ignoring the drooping Sung Ji-wook, she smiled when she saw me.
“The number one ranker’s here. How does it feel?”
“Uh, I’m not really sure yet. It’s hard to describe how I feel… I’ve been mostly isolated, and this was my first time entering the chat room.”
“You need to know now. Dante just declared in front of fifty people that he’s coming to Hanttae, and there are even journalists working as rankers in there.”
Hunters don’t just clear dungeons. There are those who control the media in that way.
I understood that Dante’s attitude was a kind of appeal. I hadn’t thought about it until now.
“Look over there.”
Sung Mi-ju gestured with her chin toward something. I turned my head slightly.
The sound of massive footsteps echoed through the air.
