Chapter 13: Unravel (2)

The warrior felt miserable.

While searching for the mage, three people were already defeated.

‘…Let’s calm down.’

Now, only he was left.

He absolutely must not let his guard down.

‘The only saving grace was that he brought the Paladin skill preset…’

The Paladin was a class called the all-rounder Tier 1.

With the warrior’s characteristic high health and defense, it was as easy to handle in close combat as a Brawler, and had decent mobility like a Rogue.

More than anything, it could cast heals and buffs like a Priest, which was why it was called an all-rounder class.

‘Since he couldn’t move carelessly, he should stay still until the enemy appeared… huh?’

A fireball flew from the rooftop.

He didn’t panic, knocked it away with his sword, and followed the shadow on the rooftop.

‘Are they planning to lure me and chip away at my health?’

It seemed they intended to deplete his health by making him fall into a trap magic, but he had no intention of falling for it easily.

The warrior also used nearby buildings as footholds to climb onto the rooftop and followed the mage.

[Skill: Holy Wind]

A holy wind blew, granting the warrior a movement speed buff.

But then, as he tried to pursue, the enemy in front of him disappeared.

‘Is it the Skill ‘Trick’?’

The warrior didn’t panic and looked behind him, but unfortunately, the mage had already disappeared.

“…….”

He had to chase, but going down felt unsettling.

He should keep moving across the rooftops.

***

I ran into the most troublesome type.

You need to understand what a troublesome type means here.

A troublesome type means someone who is capable, smart, and sharp-witted.

That warrior was exactly that.

Moreover, seeing him turn around the moment I used Trick, it seems he even studied beforehand.

‘This is getting troublesome.’

Since it’s a Paladin and he can even heal, I need to hit them about 5 times to kill them.

‘Though I’ll probably die before that.’

My ultimate skill is still far from ready, and the effect of Mist is gradually disappearing.

I need to settle this quickly.

[Skill: Illusion]

As I swung my staff, my figure disappeared, and five clones were generated.

The clones could also use skills, but their drawback was that they couldn’t deal damage.

‘But that’s enough for now.’

The clones quickly chased the warrior.

The game was about to begin.

***

‘Hmm, I can’t see them at all…’

Anyway, the effect of the mist was about to wear off, so waiting seemed better.

“……!”

When he looked up, icicles were falling from the sky.

There was no time to dodge.

[Skill: Divine Protection]

He quickly activated a shield to prevent his health from dropping.

But something was strange.

The shield wasn’t depleting at all.

‘Could it be an illusion…’

If so, there was no need to attack.

But then, a lightning attack suddenly flew from behind.

He instinctively dodged towards the street without realizing it.

And in the direction he dodged, there was a trap magic circle.

Bang!

But a warrior was a warrior.

He endured what would have been a one-hit kill for a rogue with his high health and defense.

‘Tch!’

He stepped on the trap magic circle and lost about 1/3 of his health.

[Skill: Divine Grace]

As he immediately recovered his health, other illusions also appeared.

He couldn’t tell who was real.

‘This is getting troublesome…’

If he dodged recklessly, he would end up stepping on trap magic circles.

Using an area-of-effect skill seemed better here.

[Skill: Divine Punishment]

Dark clouds formed, and countless greatswords fell from the sky.

It was like a punishment descending upon the unfaithful.

Soon, the mist cleared, and he could see in front of him.

‘Are they not around here?’

The death log did not appear.

Preparing for any possibility, he used an attack buff.

Since the mage had low durability, they should normally die if hit by such an area-of-effect skill…

“Used the ult?”

“……!”

Suddenly, something unknown sprang up from the ground he was standing on.

‘Could it be that they made me come here with Illusion…!’

The warrior hurriedly pressed a skill button, but I, who had prepared beforehand, was faster.

[Skill: Gust Wind]

[Skill: Divine Guardian]

Unfortunately, the warrior used a shield skill that couldn’t block the knockback effect.

As a result, the warrior was thrown up to an incredible height.

‘It’s going according to plan.’

However, the shield needed to be removed.

[Skill: Icicle Drop]

[Skill: Inferno]

Shatter!

Unable to move in the air, the shield was instantly broken, and his health was slightly reduced.

Of course, many people wondered if you could kill a warrior with high health and defense with something like this.

[‘Noah’ died from falling from a high place.]

Unfortunately, health and defense are not applied to fall damage.

***

Rona, who watched the entire scene, let out an exclamation of admiration.

“Wow, that actually worked…”

According to Rona, who watched everything in real-time, Seonga was truly a ‘genius strategist’.

Her judgment in using skills at the right time and place was amazing, but her ability to analyze and exploit the opponent’s psychology was almost top-notch.

-[But wasn’t setting traps beforehand a foul?]

“Hmm, that bothered me too, but anyway, it’s proven that it wasn’t a hack, right?”

And they were unlikely to say anything about it.

Because if they picked a fight over something they agreed to, it would be petty.

-[Yeah.]

-[F*cking good at the game.]

-[How is this a hack ㅋㅋ]

-[Fr ㅋㅋ]

As a result of screen sharing, there was no circumstance suggesting a hack, and since the viewers had also dropped their suspicion, everything went well.

“Then, shall we do the interviews now?”

-Go go.

-F*cking hyped.

“Alright, Chu Wang-ssi, please turn on your mic!”

“Yes, pleased to meet you.”

-Hey, you were f*cking good at the gameㅋㅋㅋ

-Are those hack accusers getting sued?ㅋㅋㅋ

Everyone sent praises saying I did well.

I didn’t particularly crave recognition, but it felt good.

“Unnie, you’re good at the game, aren’t you?”

“It’s just average.”

Originally, I don’t use my fortune-telling ability except for tracking locations.

That way, the game is more fun.

-ㅇㅇ님 donated 1,000 won!

What the f*ck kind of skills did you prepare that everyone died?

“Could we possibly see your skill preset?”

“Certainly.”

I readily showed my skill preset.

Then, the chat and Rona seemed surprised.

-Is this real?

-????

“Unnie, half of your skills are Utility skills…”

“Yeah, anyway, I laid out traps and CC skills, and everyone except the warrior is a one or two-hit kill.”

Of course, if I hadn’t laid out traps, it would be a quite different preset.

Rona, who had been stunned by the skill preset, came back to her senses and continued the broadcast.

“You’re a Mage master! To even create a dedicated PK skill preset!”

Rona hyped me up as much as possible.

Honestly, it wasn’t a PK-specific setup but one I made on the spot, but I was too lazy to explain it and just went along.

“Then, let’s check the video that led to the hacking suspicion!”

Rona turned on the video that was suspected of hacking on the screen.

So this is why I was suspected of hacking.

“This is the most suspicious scene. How did you dodge before they even used the skill?”

“If you look closely, each job has a unique motion before using a skill.”

“A unique motion?”

“Yeah, take a good look.”

We changed the video to 0.25x speed and checked it again.

At 0.25x speed, you can see it clearly.

The characters’ unique motions, the rogue on the screen made a very slight motion of pulling their foot back.

-They see that?ㅋㅋㅋ

-How amazing is their dynamic vision?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-There was something like this?

-Wow…

“How does it look?”

“Wow… Unnie, you saw this every time?”

“Yeah.”

To make a living through PK, this much is basic.

Just knowing this increases your survival time by half.

After that, I explained other parts suspected of hacking and moved on to the next segment, the interview time.

“Alright, Chu Wang Unnie’s explanation is finished, so shall we hear the thoughts of the Rogudans who helped a lot with the explanation?”

-Idiots who lost 1v5ㅋㅋㅋ

-Still, the warrior did wellㅋㅋㅋ

-Those bichs who lost to a mageㅋㅋ

“Alright, I will ban those who are mocking.”

To the extent that you can’t even say thank you when they’ve taken their time like this,

Then, I’ll start with the rogues who died first for the interview.

-The guys who died first?ㅋㅋ

-This bich is having the most funㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But it’s a factㅋㅋㅋ

[Pleased to meet you. I am ‘Kureung Kureung’, the rogue who died first.]

[I am ‘Zㅣ존 도적’, who died next.]

Did they coordinate beforehand?

The viewers were busy laughing.

This was quite an impactful entrance.

“Please share a few words about your experience.”

[It was a moving and amazing experience to be invited to such an event. I would like to participate again next time.]

The first rogue gave a neat and standard answer.

What about the other rogue?

[…Your skill was outstanding. I hope you work even harder.]

That’s it?

And ‘I hope you work even harder’.

-ㅋㅋㅋ

-That kid’s pride is hurtㅋ

-Those rogue bichs who lost to a mageㅋㅋ

It seems their pride was greatly hurt by my teabagging.

I mean, who told you to get defeated so foolishly?

Following the rogues, the Brawler’s interview ended, and it was finally the warrior’s turn.

To be honest, this guy was purely likable.

Because he was someone who even prepared beforehand.

If there were only guys like him in the other world, I could have defeated the Demon King quickly.

[Hello.]

Unexpectedly, the warrior had a baritone voice.

Moreover, seeing his awkward Korean, he seemed to be a foreigner.

-There were foreign viewers?

-???

-It’s not strange, Rona is S-class even if she looks like thisㅋㅋㅋ

-First time seeing a foreigner.

“Are you a foreigner?”

[Yes, I can speak Korean, so you don’t need to worry.]

‘That’s why his nickname was English.’

Rona, relieved that he could speak Korean, continued the interview without issue.

“How was it to be selected for this viewer participation event?”

[It was a unique experience. It was a good time to learn that such a culture exists in Korea.]

-Nooooㅋㅋㅋ

-There’s no such culture in Koreaㅋㅋㅋ

-Rona is damaging our country’s imageㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-His voice is like a cave.

This concluded the interviews with the five players, and it was my turn.

“Unnie, do you have any final words?”

“Final words…”

“I like the rogues’ earrings, the brawler’s bracelet, and the warrior’s ring.”

“Haha…, Unnie, did you decide that during the match?”

“Of course.”

As a result of checking the characters of the participants who succeeded in joining, they were all ranked players with considerable accessories.

-This bich only thinks about making moneyㅋㅋㅋ

-‘Of course’ my f*cking bichㅋㅋㅋ

-They must feel really sh*ttyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Lost the game and got their accessories taken tooㅋㅋㅋ

“Alright, everyone heard that, right?”

She says to send them by mail.

It’s time to end the broadcast now.

“Everyone, Roba!”

-Roba

-Roba

-Roba

-Roba

Pressing the broadcast end button, we took off our VR devices.

“You worked hard.”

“It’s a bit past lunch, but maybe we could eat together…”

“It’s okay.”

“Mom already made rice.”

“Oh… really?”

Rona lowered her head.

It was too bad to let the Returnee she met for the first time just leave like this.

“Goodbye, Unnie.”

“Okay, you take care too.”

Rona waved her hand, seeing Seonga off, and kept watching her back.

‘Right, let’s wait.’

It wasn’t like they wouldn’t meet again.

Let’s wait.

The time will surely come.

***

As soon as I arrived home, I turned on the broadcast.

Viewers who came into the broadcast were surprised.

The channel owner’s name was different from usual.

It was ‘Chu Wang’, not ‘Lee Seonga’.

The broadcast title was also unusual.

Title: ‘Chu Wang’ Appears

-What is this?

-That nickname’s appearanceㅋㅋㅋ

-Is this the same broadcast?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Are they crazy?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Everyone, please call me Chu Wang from now on.”

“Starting today, I’m beginning a healthy PK money-making specialized broadcast.”
