    • by Cristae Just as Yuseong and Messiah secretly discussed, most of what Yuseong told Willy and Mad Hammer was a lie. After all, why would Yuseong need to "guess" anything when he could get direct information from Messiah? But since the two had no idea about Messiah’s existence, they had no choice but to believe him. “Yeah. We’re working on the demonification quest.” “I know.” Yuseong’s casual attitude, as if there was no need to even check, irritated the two a little. “Seriously,…
    • by Cristae Episode 262 Yuseong moved to the nearest, relatively intact shelter from where he landed. On the way, he encountered a few monsters and wild beasts, but none of them posed any threat to Yuseong, who had already regained his full strength. The shelter was of a certain size. It was about as big as the first shelter Yuseong had taken using the purchase window’s map. ‘It’s a bit cramped, but I’ll have to make do.’ To Yuseong, who had already gotten used to the ways of the other world,…
    • by Cristae Episode 261 The land ahead slowly drew closer. Really, just a little, just a bit farther to go. Boom! But the giant monster’s attacks were still ongoing. On top of that, having discarded the reinforced exoskeleton lowered both defense and mobility, which was a problem. Fortunately, however, the giant monster’s accuracy had significantly dropped. Whoosh! Just now, too. A pillar of water soared up, aiming for Yuseong, but it erupted slightly away from him. It didn’t even slow his…
    • by Cristae The roar of the wind battered his eardrums. It was nothing like the clumsy “whoooosh!” onomatopoeia you might see in a novel—it was a sound on a completely different level, almost like some unheard-of monster’s cry. He couldn’t see a few meters in front of him. No matter how good Yuseong’s vision was—honed by habit and boosted by nanomachines—the swirling snow erased visibility itself. There was nothing he could do about it. Still, Yuseong forged ahead. ‘I hope this is the right…
    • by Cristae The news that Yuseong was the CEO of Gospel continued to set the world ablaze. As shocking as it was, Yuseong kept fueling the fire without pause. Yuseong not only did Q&As with viewers in-game, but also willingly participated in media interviews. Of course, if it had only been Yuseong’s word, people wouldn’t have believed it. They would have written him off as a liar or a braggart. However, once reporters started investigating and confirmed everything Yuseong said was true, people…
    • by Cristae -Nonsense- -Do you have noodles in your head instead of a brain? You believe this?- That’s how people reacted when they first heard the rumor that Yuseong was the CEO of Gospel. If someone had at least said Yuseong was the third-generation heir of a conglomerate, maybe some would have believed it. But CEO? Even for a small business, the CEO is certainly busy. And the CEO of Gospel? It’s obvious how busy that must be. Of course, you could play games here and there as a hobby. If you have…
    • by Cristae Episode 257 ‘I want to find out what kind of creature it is.’ The last time he saw a giant monster, he was able to confirm its appearance thanks to the relay device. But he couldn’t install a relay in the ocean. ‘No, if I think about it, is it possible?’ Yuseong loaded a robot, a relay, a solar generator, and batteries onto a boat and sent it out. ‘It works!’ But he couldn’t keep it going for long. Such a small boat wouldn’t last in the harsh weather of the Bering…
    • by Cristae Episode 256 On their way to the castle wall, the Avengers were hardly met with any counterattack. A few spells flew their way, but it was too laughable to even call it resistance. As they got closer to the wall, the retaliation increased a bit, but it was nowhere near enough to stop their charge. It was so poorly defended, it was a miracle the gate was even closed. “Take out what we prepared.” The player who arrived first at the castle gate spoke to a comrade who arrived soon after. The…
    • by Cristae Willy felt his grip on his weapon tighten involuntarily. ‘Yuseong!’ The massive obstacle that had appeared in his otherwise smooth and easy life. And this wasn't just a rock or a boulder. It was a mountain. A mountain of overwhelming majesty like Everest or K2. Completely different from the obstacles he’d faced before—the ones he could kick aside effortlessly. Perhaps this whole, seemingly reckless plan was because of Yuseong. He just wanted to surpass Yuseong, no matter what it…
    • by Cristae The sudden outbreak of internal strife in C.O.T.S. Even though they had been pushed back by JeMeotDaero, C.O.T.S. was still considered one of the top powerful guilds in Ark. Naturally, the infighting within such a guild drew people’s attention. People thought that C.O.T.S. would stay quiet for a while as they sorted out their internal affairs. Some were even happy about this, given C.O.T.S.’s notorious behavior. However, C.O.T.S.’s next moves went far beyond their expectations. “Hello,…
    • by Cristae Episode 253 “Involved parties?” “What do you mean by that?” “You’re saying we’ll be affected while those guys are fighting among themselves?” The guild members all expressed doubt at once. “Before Yuseong triggered the C.O.T.S. infighting, he consulted with me.” “Well, anyone could guess the fallout would be big, so it makes sense. And it really turned out that way.” “It was a bit more serious than what Mr. Cooking Day thought.” “Hm?” “What I’m…
    • by Cristae Episode 252 People showed a variety of reactions. <Maybe it just looks similar because they both use huge hammers as weapons?> There were people who cautiously asked like that. <Isn’t this just forcing things? Aren’t you just trying to screw over Mad Hammer because you don’t like him?> Some people took a cynical stance and denied Yuseong's claim. But the more Yuseong explained, the more they had no choice but to admit that his argument was quite convincing. “Now, look at…
    • by Cristae Episode 251 Yuseong focused on the video. Of course, he continued to hold the bowl of scorched rice water. “To explain precisely, the attack aimed at C.O.T.S. this time was different from other attacks. In previous attacks, a single city was targeted, but this time, a total of three cities were attacked.” The streamer displayed three photos. They were pictures of the cities that had been attacked this time. Since the locations of C.O.T.S.’s cities were not revealed, these photos were not…
    • by Cristae After easily repelling the raid, Jemutdaero’s guild members uploaded their recorded videos. Since they had to hide the fact that a raid had taken place, they couldn’t stream it live, but now that the raid was over—and since there wasn’t much damage to fear a raid from another guild—they had no hesitation in uploading the videos. Jemutdaero’s videos naturally attracted a lot of attention. Everyone already knew about player-owned cities being raided, and videos about those incidents…
    • by Cristae A flash of teleportation light illuminated the plaza in front of the gates of Protsenhau. As soon as the teleportation ended, Yuseong immediately jumped up onto the city wall. Several NPC soldiers were peering outside from atop the wall. Far off in the distance, dark shapes could be seen. ‘They’re here.’ The army of demons and monsters. With several cities already raided, it was no surprise. However, their numbers were extraordinary. It seemed like they could overrun Protsenhau in…
    • by Cristae Episode 248 “Thank you for gathering like this.” Aiden looked at the assembled guild members. “The reason I called you all here is to discuss the frequent raids happening lately.” “As expected.” Cooking Day nodded. The others also seemed to have already guessed. “As you all surmised, player cities are currently being raided. The frequency isn’t extremely high, but it isn’t low enough to ignore either. Naturally, we also need to be prepared.” “Is it really that…
    • by Cristae Episode 247 “You didn’t mistake me for someone else, did you?” “Are there two Mad Hammers in our guild, both top-tier in skill but fallen to rock bottom because they backed the wrong side?” “Damn, can’t argue with that.” Maybe it was because Willy praised his skill, or maybe Mad Hammer himself found his own situation funny, he accepted it easily. “Alright, then. Let’s hear what a person who’s top-notch in skill but a washed-up, good-for-nothing fool is supposed to…
    • by Cristae Episode 246 Yuseong stared at the sea unfolding before his eyes. Even at a glance, the unruly waves kept crashing onto the shore. ‘If I go in there without any preparation, I’ll be dead right away.’ In the face of that immense force of nature, whether it was his nano machines or reinforced exoskeleton, it was clear they would be chewed up and crushed in an instant. On top of that, there was the separate threat of monsters and beasts lurking beneath the surface. Yuseong set out to find…
    • by Cristae Yuseong returned to his own world. First, he organized the massive amount of information he had obtained. Based on that, he laid out his future plans. The conclusion was simple. ‘I just need to keep doing what I’ve been doing.’ He continued to work on raising his notoriety and preparing to cross over to the American continent. ‘Annoying as it is, Messiah may have been right.’ Knowing about their existence hadn’t changed his behavior. ‘Then let’s head north.’ His…
    • by Cristae Episode 244 “I understand your position. What about Savior? Did he agree with you?” “So you had no choice, huh.” The thought that at least one AI was on his side softened his mood, if only a little. “Now that I think about it, the guides for my world and Ark were mostly favorable to me. The system sometimes made unreasonable demands. So that was because of the differences in your personalities.” “What do you mean?” Now that he thought about it, that was…
