[Tutorial Cleared!]

[World Record]

[1st. Charlotte Grace -00:06:45]

[2nd. Tianmo -00:06:46]

[3rd. MoeMoeKyun–00:07:01]

“Aaaagh! Why! Why can’t I surpass that western b*tch?!”

The strongest hunter in China, Tianmo, couldn’t contain the rage boiling from deep within her heart and screamed without realizing it.

Tianmo .

There should be no being above her, who cleaves even the sky.

Charlotte Grace.

That hateful b*tch was always one step ahead of her.

She couldn’t surpass that b*tch, not only in reality but even in virtual reality.

• Ohohoho! Tianmo! Is that all you can do? The prestige of China has fallen so low! Ohoho!

The image of a blonde, curly-haired woman laughing at her while covering her mouth with a luxurious fan came to mind.

“Grr…”

As if to comfort Tianmo’s rage, a cheerful tune and a mechanical female voice echoed in Tianmo’s waiting room.

[Long live Ma Sect! Long, long live! Donated 520,000 yuan!]

[Oh, Tianmo! Please rise again! Shouldn’t we finish the revenge of the Opium War!!]

“What are they saying…”

Tianmo had neglected her history studies and couldn’t understand what they were talking about.

Even after receiving a donation worth about 100 million won, Tianmo didn’t react much.

A mere 100 million won was a pittance that couldn’t move her.

Tianmo turned her attention to the chat window, which was scrolling up like crazy.

[Tianmo is a noob~♡ A small country can’t beat the Great British Empire, as expected♡]

[She cleaves the sky, yet she’s defeated by a British girl~♡]

[Childish Tianmo-♡ Even your frustrated look is cute~♡]

[Forever 2nd Tianmo♡ Pathetic♡ Shame of China~♡]

She was currently live streaming.

She had started streaming out of boredom, but Tianmo herself was quite enjoying it.

Tianmo’s stream, a hunter who could be counted on one hand even when searching the whole world.

Moreover, Tianmo didn’t stream every day like other streamers, so millions of viewers of various ethnicities flocked to her stream as if they had been waiting for this moment.

The name value of Tianmo was indeed extraordinary.

[Sigh… How did the hope of China become a clown…]

[Practice more instead of doing this. Shouldn’t you make China great again!]

[The Chairman is so worried about the lack of hunter talent! And the strongest person in China is doing this!]

No matter how great Tianmo was, she couldn’t avoid trolls and malicious comments.

‘Phew… No… I must control my inner demons…’

The malicious comments didn’t harm her mind, but losing to her rival, Charlotte Grace, again was quite painful.

Tianmo gritted her teeth in frustration, but she closed her eyes and calmed her mind and body to control the inner demons.

And that image of Tianmo was being broadcast.

But the image of Tianmo being broadcast was very different from what she imagined.

Rather than the tall, busty, cool woman sharpening the blade of revenge, as Tianmo herself imagined.

It was closer to a child, who could barely be a middle or high school student, looking away after being hurt by the comments.

This was a mistake caused by Tianmo not setting up her customization and applying her real-life appearance as is.

Tianmo had experienced a complete transformation upon awakening the skill called Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

Since then, she had been living as a child.

A moment later, when she opened her eyes, all the malicious chats were gone.

The Black Shield of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, China’s top guild that protects Tianmo, had erased all the malicious chats directed at Tianmo.

Whether those who left negative comments to Tianmo would still be alive tomorrow… was unknown.

“Ahem. I’m calm. I showed an unsightly appearance. Now, let’s try again.”

Having controlled her inner demons, Tianmo challenged the tutorial again with a much more relaxed mind.

The real Tianmo could wield near-omnipotent power through the skill called Heavenly Demon Divine Art, but this was a virtual reality world.

She had to defeat enemies using only the class and skills selected in the game.

But just because she couldn’t use the skills of her original world didn’t mean the experience she had accumulated as a hunter disappeared.

The class she chose in Hunter’s World was a Spearmaster.

Her main weapon was not a spear, but her fists.

A Spearmaster with fists? What’s that supposed to mean? You might think.

Tianmo thought she could sharpen her fists like a spear, and in fact, she created fists stronger than a spear.

Tianmo stepped on the ground to avoid the falling AI.

The AI, which landed creating a huge crater, instantly took a rushing stance and charged at Tianmo.

Tianmo also stepped on the ground, shifting her center of gravity and instantly reaching the AI.

And they swung their fists at each other.

Clang!

When Tianmo’s small fist and the AI’s fist collided, the AI’s fist shattered and bounced back.

The tutorial AI rolled continuously to minimize damage and flew far away.

Tianmo didn’t just watch.

Stepping on the air and chasing the AI, Tianmo prepared for the second strike.

Immense ki began to gather in Tianmo’s fist.

She had activated the basic and everything skill of the Spearmaster class, the thrust skill.

The ki gathered in Tianmo’s fist instantly changed its form, becoming like a single spear and emitting a sharp aura.

The fist containing the Spearmaster’s mystery pierced the AI’s solar plexus.

Tianmo’s fist, which had grown by feeding on defeat, was sharper than before.

[Breaking the World Record!]

[1st. Tianmo – 00:06:44]

[2nd. Charlotte Grace – 00:06:45]

[3rd. MoeMoeKyun~♡ – 00:07:01]

“Hahaha! I did it! I did it! I finally defeated that western b*tch!! Hahaha! Charlotte is a noob♡ now too!”

It became a definite result that appeared before her eyes.

Tianmo jumped around her waiting room like a child, enjoying the joy that surged from deep within her heart.

Tianmo. 25 years old. It had been 15 years since she experienced her first painful defeat at the hands of Charlotte Grace.

After 15 long years, she had finally placed that arrogant b*tch below her!

[Isn’t it good that our Tianmo is so happy…?]

[Tianmo is happy… She’s a bit cute, even though I’m a woman too…]

[Ah, I can’t tease her as a noob~♡ anymore. That’s a shame.]

[Why can’t you tease her? Now you can tease Charlotte,Lol]

[Charlotte is a noob~♡]

[The revenge of the Opium War is finally successful~♡]

The chat window also seemed to be ending warmly, celebrating her victory.

But 10 seconds after Tianmo updated the world record.

[Failed to defend the world record!]

[1st. Dr Pepper – 00:05:11]

[2nd. Tianmo – 00:06:44]

[3rd. Charlotte Grace – 00:06:45]

“Hic…!”

[Huh?]

[????]

[What, what is it? What is it?]

A record that far surpassed her record appeared, shattering the record she had desperately set.

“… No. No. Haha… I think my eyes have gotten a little bad after concentrating for so long.”

Tianmo said that, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the world record again.

“No! No! This can’t be!”

Tianmo denied reality and searched all the sites that displayed the world records of Hunter’s World, but.

[1st. Dr Pepper – 00:05:11]

[2nd. Tianmo – 00:06:44]

[3rd. Charlotte Grace – 00:06:45]

That didn’t change the once-updated world record.

[Wow… 5 seconds? What kind of monster is that?]

[Right. All the top 10 rankers are currently active S-rank hunters; isn’t that using hacks or something?]

[Talking about hacks in virtual reality Lol]

[The nickname is unusual? Is it someone who’s had some Dr. Pepper?]

[Tianmo is a noob♡ The self-proclaimed strongest in China, beaten by cola♡]

Tianmo gritted her teeth, her eyes full of tears.

How dare! How dare! Someone other than Charlotte Grace! Trample on my head!

“I will never forgive that guy! Accept my challenge immediately!”

[Wow. Tianmo requested a 1v1.]

[It’s the first time I’ve seen Tianmo directly challenge someone other than Charlotte.]

[Yeah, it’s the first time. Tianmo only does 1v1 battles with Charlotte.]

[Today’s stream is legendary. It was worth waiting for a month.]

But.

[Dr Pepper has rejected Tianmo’s 1v1 battle request.]

Unlike Tianmo, who was full of fighting spirit, the battle request she made was flatly rejected.

“W-Why!”

It was very rare for Tianmo to directly ask someone for something.

Even then, it was just trivial requests to her parents, whom she could no longer see, when she was very young.

Now, Tianmo was someone even the Chairman of China had to watch out for.

Losing her reason, Tianmo opened the 1v1 message window and started sending messages unilaterally.

[How dare! How dare you refuse my order!]

[My name is Tianmo! Cleaving the sky and destroying the earth]

[Dr Pepper has blocked Tianmo. From now on, you will not be able to send 1v1, 4v4 battle requests, or messages to Dr Pepper.]

“Huh…?”

Tianmo muttered, staring blankly into the air.

It was a day when her broadcast achieved an overwhelming 1st place in real-time viewership on the streaming platform Twitch.

[Tianmo has requested a 1v1 battle with Dr Pepper.]

I finished the tutorial and was about to start a 1v1 battle when some Chinese person sent me a battle request message.

A sudden battle request from a Chinese person.

I felt an oddly ominous feeling and refused.

But a moment later, the Chinese person I had just rejected sent me a message.

[敢! 你是谁, 竟敢回绝本座的命令!] ([How dare you! Who are you to refuse my order!])

[本座地名字是天魔] ([My name is Tianmo.])

“… What are they saying.”

I don’t know foreign languages well.

I learned a little basic English conversation, but I had never studied Chinese characters.

It hadn’t been long since I started the game, and when I received a Chinese message, I felt an oddly ominous feeling and blocked the guy.

However, that action triggered a flood of friend requests in Chinese characters and English.

[TianmoBuzhiFangFang has sent a friend request to Dr Pepper.]

[TianmaBozhiPanPan has sent a friend request to Dr Pepper.]

[SkyDevilIsSoCute has sent a friend request to Dr Pepper.]

What is this? How long has it been since I created a virtual reality account, and my personal information has already been leaked?

“Block them all.”

I was a little scared, so I just blocked them all.

I also changed the password for my virtual reality account and logged out of the virtual reality.

Ugh, it’s creepy.

Leaving the VR room, I bought a Neve Gear worth about 1 million won.

The Hunter’s World game itself was quite fun, so I thought it wouldn’t be a bad investment to enjoy it at home later.

I returned home without any particular incident, but the moment I closed the front door, Cutie♡Angel suddenly popped out of the inventory.

“Huh? What’s wrong? What’s…! Gack!”

Cutie♡Angel used flight magic to move on her own and stabbed my abdomen with the blunt pommel.

Thump! Thump!!

“W-Wait…! Stop…!”

Wooooooooooooooooong!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cutie♡Angel alone began to emit a sword aura containing immense mana.

F*ck, what is that? It’s scary.

“S-Seriously, stop! I’ll die! I’ll die, Cutie♡Angel!!!!!”

I curled up and received Cutie♡Angel’s wrath.

The price of infidelity was too great.
