Episode 114. Naming (2)
The situation in the Holy Land Muon has been settled.
It was like a time bomb that was about to explode.
Everyone assumed that the attack on Player Guyver was just the beginning. There was a good chance that an unexpected war would break out over Muon.
“But there, the chief mage of the Mage Tower is perfect!”
However, the magic tower unexpectedly intervened.
Muon opened the door as if it had never been.
And even the unexpected appearance of a tentacle monster.
The rapidly changing situation of Muon was vividly conveyed by the players.
[Attack of Paladins that make the chest grand]
[Number of views: 132407117]
Tens of thousands of Paladins.
Watching them run towards the mass of tentacles is literally a spectacle.
So, do I need to explain further? The appearance of Ho-yeol commanding such paladins with a single gesture.
“Really, just thinking about that time still makes my heart ache?”
“Only those who saw it know. that feeling.”
“It’s a pity that I can’t release the video freely. really.”
Of course, the main character of the video was Ho-yeol.
Even if you are a nettuber who is crazy about views and aggro.
How to know how to cover fire.
At a time like this these days, if I uploaded a video of Ho-yeol without permission, I was met with a backlash, asking if I was uploading it with permission, let alone interested.
The video of Ho-yeol could not be released without asking for Ho-yeol’s understanding.
But how many people watched the spectacle live?
The countless players and viewers said in unison.
Lee Ho-yeol said he was really in a different class.
“Tens of thousands of lives are not in my hands! If it were me, I wouldn’t have known what to do because of the pressure.
“But it seemed like he could have hunted alone without the Paladins. Did you see how they freeze that huge mass of tentacles at once?”
“So what is the identity of that skill? Eh?! So high-level magic that even the Ice Wizards don’t know about it? There really is no end. Didn’t I become the chief mage for no reason?”
That wasn’t all.
after the battle is over.
The conversation between Hoyeol and the head of the Holy Knights of the Goddess Church also became a hot topic.
Commander of the Holy Knights, Talim Ever.
He who poured out hostile words towards mankind.
It was not enough to politely kneel in front of Ho-yeol.
“Just put your voice down… They say they’ll take full responsibility!”
-No, I didn’t just say
that I was responsible hahaha
-What kind of story is this???
To go further and declare that you will be judged?
The wave had to be greater than the battle Ho-yeol showed.
But is it because of the crowds gathering?
Because Hoyeol and Talim moved.
I don’t know what conversations took place after that.
But one thing was certain.
“In the end, player Lee Ho-yeol did it again this time.”
That Hoyeol did it.
Why, if there was no Ho-yeol even now.
If only he hadn’t stepped out and killed the tentacle mass.
The lives of the players who entered Muon are the same as they are now.
Because I couldn’t guarantee that it would be safe.
There were people who noticed that fact earlier than anyone else.
It was Taemin Nam Taemin Leoni Hisagi.
“Did you see it? Ho-yeol said that we just need to do well when we have time to worry!”
“I don’t know if I can keep up with that level…”
“Now shut up. end of break. There is no time to rest like this.”
“…what is that? You just made the most fuss.”
“A fuss? who? when? I?! Fuck. no it’s not?”
Currently, Ho-yeol does not need their help.
Because I had trust in Hoyeol.
Even in the muon crisis, they were able to focus only on growth.
The case of Jesse Heinness was not much different.
“Even such freezing magic! You are amazing too!”
The level of passion that can be seen as much as one knows.
It was the cone-shaped hat that made it more difficult than Jessie.
The cone-shaped hat trembled and made a fuss.
-I thought you’d already reached the stage. Dude, you have a long way to go.
Also that fact.
There were some who felt it more painfully than anyone else.
It was AAU.
They came to a conclusion at the branch meeting.
“It became clear with the muon crisis. Arcana’s updates are beyond the realm of our AAUs being able to predict and prepare for them.”
The flowing silence—
in fact, I had realized it before.
From the time monsters that did not exist in the database appeared.
No, if you go back, it must have been when demon-type monsters appeared in the rift.
Someone said with a bitter taste.
“Isn’t that natural in a way? Even when Arcana was just a game, we were overwhelmed. It is impossible to predict the flow of the Arcana continent now that it has become another world.”
AAU was well aware of their role.
That’s why incompetence came more and more painfully.
someone else said
“Looks like an official announcement is coming soon.”
official announcement.
To let the world know the limits of AAU.
The aftermath was hard to imagine.
Even now, there were a lot of players waiting for information from AAU.
But it couldn’t be hidden forever.
The depressing meeting was over.
Park Min-jae, the head of the AAU Korea branch, took a deep breath.
“…Is there a hole in humanity where it can survive?”
He recalled his past as the developer of Arcana.
Even if it was not serviced at that time, there were many contents that were scheduled to be serviced someday.
There won’t be many examples.
Only one ‘dragon’.
Yes, even if it’s just ‘Dragon’.
“Won’t you show up someday?”
Either in the rift or in reality.
Park Min-jae thought of humanity against the dragon.
I drew a simulation.
“For no reason, it’s fucking hard to develop.”
Whoa—
the more I did, the more I could only come out with a deep sigh.
Even if the players level up and humanity moves the army, all that remains is defeat. Or maybe it’s just a victory that’s no different from a defeat.
But Park Min-jae knew.
The flesh hole he witnessed.
one only possibility.
“…Lee Ho-yeol.”
That was player Lee Ho-yeol.
About that, AAU couldn’t be sure of anything. Lee Ho-yeol’s level as well as his class. However, it could be guessed from the steps he showed.
“How much do you know about that?”
Even in the muon situation.
Didn’t Ho-yeol act like he knew everything?
Above all, people cannot hide their fleeting emotions. The fact that Ho-yeol’s expression didn’t change despite the sudden appearance of a mass of tentacles must be the proof.
“It gives hope even to a die-hard realist like me.”
Why are people crazy about Lee Ho-yeol?
It seemed like he knew why.
Soon, Park Min-jae’s shoulders shook.
“okay. Shouldn’t we try until it becomes a hope and something?”
okay.
It was not the time to consider the possibilities.
In the end, it was all or nothing.
Park Min-jae also said that he was ready to do anything.
What Park Min-jae could do was simple.
To Ho-yeol, the only hope.
Anything that conveys helpful information.
however.
‘AAU already has numerous interests from each country intertwined. AAU cannot come to the fore. Besides, giving inside information to only one player…even if it was Lee Ho-yeol. Even for the purpose of keeping Korea in check, there must be plenty of people who will oppose it.’
Even so.
Didn’t Park Min-jae promise?
From now on, I won’t be blind.
therefore.
“From here on, it’s a deviation that I staked my personal Park Min-jae’s pride on.”
Of course, the departure did not seem easy from the first step.
“Anyway, it’s not enough to have a conversation with Mr. Lee Ho-yeol just the two of us… You’re saying that we might continue to keep in touch in the future.”
those cold eyes.
rude attitude.
Lee Ho-yeol, the persistent reporters and nettubers.
Park Min-jae eventually spat out another painful sound.
“Let’s fucking sell it. After half a hundred years of age, it looks like you will have to start with etiquette education again. How should I get rid of the habit that I’ve got in my body…”
Suddenly, he grabbed two people passing by and asked.
“Hey, Soo-gyeom. And… yes! Seong Hyeon-jun Temple.”
“yes? Branch Manager Park.”
“I was asking just in case. Am I a kid?”
“…yes? What is that all of a sudden?”
“Uh huh. Yes or no only when asked. Am I a kid?”
Of course, a journey of a thousand miles starts with one
step
.
Sleep time is not long.
The speed at which time passes day by day is unusual.
Tuk-tuk–
I’m sure one of the reasons is because of this physical training.
Even if the class quest changes, it is always the goal that occupies the first goal.
[Class Quest: Extermination of Akkshan]
Annihilation of Akkshan and the demon hunters.
The last demon hunter.
Uncover the truth about the temple.
—Train your weakened body. (Repeat) ▲
Run 30KM (success)
2000 push-ups (success)
1000 pull-ups (success)
500 burpees (in progress)
[Strength] [Agility] stats are the same as levels.
the higher the absolute number.
This means that the amount of training required to increase one point is different.
The target was always at a level that took your breath away.
“…It’s easy.”
It’s easy, but it’s a bitch.
He almost passed out several times today, but his bravado.
At least it’s better than before.
It’s like being able to get help from non-herb.
Click—
I raised the teacup.
“But proper rest also helps with muscle growth.”
Hot tea on a plate that wouldn’t even have enough ice water.
I want this to taste like death.
Still, it’s good for the body, so I’m going to have a good time.
You have to eat this, because your body will endure it.
I caught my breath and checked the next quest goal.
─Find out the forces that participated in the crusade. (In progress)
Encounter the Saint of the Goddess Church. (Success)
Find out the true nature of the goddess church saint. (Success)
Hunt the devil disguised as a saint of the Goddess Church. (Success)
Find out the original sin of the Mage Tower. (Success)
All goals related to the Goddess Church have been successful.
The [Extinction of Akkshan] quest is not over yet.
That would mean that there are still forces behind Akkshan’s back. Suddenly, I had an idea.
‘All of the demon hunters were eccentric.’
why is that
when you look into the abyss
Isn’t there a saying that even the abyss looks into you?
‘Especially there were no demons at the training ground.’
There was no word that suited demon hunters better than that.
The days when Arcana was just a game. The attitude of demon hunters compared to friendly NPCs was notorious even among players.
‘You think that’s cool. I like it.’
Of course, that didn’t matter to me at the time.
Anyway, I was stabbed in the back of the head simply because I looked bad?
It is an impossible possibility no matter what. that.
“This must also be the trick of an insignificant tribe.”
In the end, it must be because of the devil.
Because the saints of the Goddess Church, the largest religion on the Arcana continent, have been demons.
It is safe to say that there is no region or power that is safe from the devil’s beast.
In that sense, my break was not long.
Click—
a teacup set down.
…I have to fill it up. 500 burpee tests.
Even to make the overestimation a reality.
Even to move forward.
It’s a law that you shouldn’t stop struggling even for a moment.
.
.
.
Of course, there was good news for me, who suffered day and night.
Payyan Lot, senior magician of the Elemental School.
A letter she delivered on parchment.
That line of writing unexpectedly helped me a lot.
[Shelter of poisonous spores]
[Recommended level: Lv.350]
[Collapse progress: 0.1%]
I entered the crack.
Common cracks created routinely that are not specified in updates.
Considering my level and the appropriate level, it would be difficult to level up even if I hunted hundreds of monsters.
However, my purpose was not to level up.
I opened my mouth.
“Hyel.”
The magic that escapes in an instant at that moment.
Gooooh—
it was the nymph who soon appeared out of thin air.
It is also the aesthetic sense of Grandfel.
A nymph boasting a flawless appearance.
It was.
I gave the nymph a name according to the information Feiyan had given me.
Because the knowledge I knew about animism was only scratching the surface.
‘I didn’t know that a name could have such a meaning to a spirit.’
According to Payan.
To the spirit, the name was like a bowl.
It’s because I kept calling her a nymph even after the contract.
It was said that even after the nymph fulfilled the conditions to be reborn as an {intrinsic spirit} by accomplishing a tremendous feat of sprouting a world tree, all she had to do was change to look plausible on the outside…!
When I found out about that fact, I was relieved without even realizing it.
‘Because my magical power didn’t have a bad effect.’
But the relief came too quickly.
I had overlooked it.
[Name: Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo]
My naming sense that made up that grotesque name.
The nymph gives an elegant greeting.
“Hyel has answered your call.”
It was.
‘Hyel’.
To be precise, ‘Hayel Crisiad Four Seasons Reef’.
A full name as long as Grandfel.
That was the name of the nymph I gave it…!
…shit.
Every time I called Hiel’s name, something indescribable emotion soared. Naturally, there was no expression.
I shamelessly asked Hiel about it.
“What is the situation on the Arcana Continent?”
Highel’s report follows straight ahead.
I was able to get out of the emotions that I couldn’t express soon after listening to it in silence.
‘If this is an incident, maybe…’
…It could lead to the next regular update?
