Chapter 324 Reality in Illusion (2)
Jae-Young was caught up in Jae-Gyun’s kidnapping and couldn’t connect to Arcadia for over a month.
He couldn’t hide his absurdity after examining every single thing that happened during his absence.
“No… what the hell were those bastards doing?”
The daily life of a destroyer who was his channel.
Jaeyoung couldn’t keep his mouth shut when he saw the results of the insane video, which had previously had crazy levels of subscribers and views, but this time it achieved a new record that even he hadn’t achieved.
[Total number of views: 10,324,129,782 times.]
The number of video views that has exceeded 10 billion.
Considering that the world’s population has just passed 7 billion, it’s a devastating situation with ridiculous statistics showing that everyone on this planet has watched this video at least 1.3 times. No matter how popular Arcadia is, this kind of case honestly makes no sense, so Jaeyoung played the video suspiciously, wondering if it was a bug, but soon realized that the results were real and nodded his head.
“Huh… that Vulcanus or something was completely resurrected…? It even creates mythical items…?”
The Age of Lost Myths.
It wasn’t such a surprise to Jaeyoung, since he had heard about the hidden story from Tan and L beforehand, but he never expected it to be revealed so quickly.
“Certainly I was a bastard. El’s eyes weren’t wrong…”
El, who urged investment in him generously from the time he was rotting as a slave in the mines.
Thanks to her advice, Jae-young felt a sense of pride in his heart as he watched the dtongson, who had supported him both physically and mentally with his father’s heart, go on a winning streak with wings.
“Kasiyasu, this guy seems to have formed a fandom that wasn’t too bad…”
Casillas, who has changed his job to an all-weapon master and shows a markedly different strength than before. Of course, to Jaeyoung’s eyes, there were still some points where the controls were inexperienced, but the comments from people who were enthusiastic about his smooth face and silent silence were all positive.
-Kyaaaaaa! Casillas Oppa!
-brother! It’s so cool! My favorite streamer!
-Please continue to broadcast! All of our Kasamos will cheer for you!
He completely captured the hearts of female users. His battle scene, where he perfectly controlled dozens of weapons and captured hundreds of level 300 monsters without getting hit even once, was so beautiful that even a man could fall in love with him.
And… Angelina, who built a fan base with a different meaning (?).
-Magic! Warrior! Angelina! Magic! Warrior! Angelina!
-Kiaaaang! Unya! That heavy iron bar in an earthen pot!
-If you don’t die, beat until you die. There is no clay pot that won’t break after being beaten 100 times!
– Power Mage! Mage Power! Mage Power! Mage Power!
-Nuna, by any chance, how old are you?
Jaeyoung licked his lips with a strangely bitter expression as he saw those who shouted the earthen pot and were enthusiastic about her bolt magic.
“Yeah….. I wasn’t like that when we first met… but for some reason, it seems that his personality has changed a lot.”
In the past, she looked like a naturally delicate girl who didn’t even get angry properly, but now she reveals the temperament of a savage and belligerent fighter who smashes the earthen pot first and sees it even if it’s slightly twisted. Looking at Angelina, who seemed to have become a different dimension to being a wizard, Jaeyoung laughed.
“This… CEO Seowook Jo is so excited that his mouth must be tearing up…”
In a way, Iplus signed a contract with these three people because Jaeyoung let go of the bridge. Of course, it was true that they made a huge investment by paying a huge amount of billions of dollars in advance only as a down payment, but this video alone made up for all the losses and gained enormous profits and fame, establishing itself as an unrivaled MCN company.
Starting with domestic terrestrial broadcasting stations such as MTC KSB, numerous partnership agreements have been negotiated with famous broadcasting companies around the world, and advertisement offers from enormous conglomerates literally start pouring in, and the situation is screaming with happiness.
So, Jaeyoung secretly laughed when he saw that the seeds he had sown were sprouting and bearing desirable fruits.
“This… isn’t it a joke to have accumulated probabilities?”
Three people registered in the helper system.
I’m a dumbass. Angelina. Casillas.
Based on the numerous changes and influences they created while traveling around Arcadia, Jae-young returns with a probability calculated. Seeing that while he was away, Jae-young triggered a huge incident that overthrew the entire continent of Arcadia, Jae-young lay down on the connector placed on the other side of the room with a face full of expectations.
Woo woo woo.
A high frequency sound that has been heard for a long time.
In the midst of his blurred consciousness, a clear female voice sounded in Jaeyoung’s ears.
[Welcome to Arcadia, the world of fantasy.]
As always, welcome him to Arcadia, another world.
* * *
The land of death, which used to be the imperial castle of the Shoen Empire, has now become a desolate ruin.
The one who welcomed Jae-young, who returned as a player Dex to the nearby mountain range, was a guardian angel and a baby imp who were in a fierce life-and-death situation.
“Today, I will absolutely turn you into a whole chicken, you damn chicken.”
“Hey, who’s to say? This time, I will pluck out your filthy tongue entirely and throw it away.”
Also, I don’t know why they’re fighting, but Tan and L look messy as if they’ve already had a fight. Not knowing that Jaeyoung had returned, they were fighting a bloody battle of nerves, spewing torches and hellfires.
“evil! Biting is against the law, you dirty bastard!”
“joy! Who wants to pinch you? And did you see how the devil obeys the rules?”
“This damn devil… he wants to see you for real…”
Tan and L are fighting like a childish elementary school student, scratching, pinching, and even biting each other. However, the holy fire emanating from their bodies as if they were clashing with the horrors of the fallen hell clearly revealed how fierce this fight was.
Woo woo woo. Cuckoo coo.
Transcendent beings that only exist in mythology.
These two, who were created directly by the Creator Father and endowed with appropriate divinity and dignity, did not change their essence even though they were covered in humble shells.
The lord of all fallen creations, the ruler and ruler of the hell in this world, Satan the Demon King.
Archangel Michael, the Aspect of Brilliant Glory and Light and the Most Honorable Protector of Heaven.
Whenever these two transcendental absolutes, who each dominate a single dimension, collide with each other, a powerful wave spreads out around them. The fight between these two would be a huge event that would be recorded in the history books in Arcadia, but to Jae-young, who had seen these two fighting to the point of getting tired of it every fictional day, it was no different from a banal everyday life.
fluff.
Jae-young sat down in a corner with the intention of watching for the first time in a while.
However, Tan and L, who suddenly turned their heads at the presence, noticed his presence staring at them and began to react violently.
“master! what! When did you come?”
“You are here at last! Why the hell have you been away for so long?”
Two transcendent beings running around Jaeyoung with a friendly expression as if they had fought each other. They looked at him with curious eyes and asked.
“You almost died of boredom while waiting. What the hell are you doing now?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen Dex-sama stay in another dimension for so long. What happened?”
No matter how perfect Arcadia is, a virtual world that is indistinguishable from reality, the essence is just a game in an illusion.
Therefore, for most people living in the present life, this Arcadia was only a place to stay for a short time, so a common setting was given to all NPCs to prevent a lot of confusion.
[Adventurers endowed with the power of immortality are vagabonds who enjoy adventures from a distant otherworldly dimension, so they are strange and mysterious beings who always disappear and appear repeatedly.] So, while looking at Jaeyoung, Tan
and At El’s question, he shook his head and spoke honestly.
“Ah… nothing else, I was kidnapped for a while.”
“what….? kidnap?”
“yes….?”
However, the demon king and the archangel look puzzled at his answer. And these two asked with a face that they couldn’t understand at all.
“No, the owner was kidnapped…? does that make sense? What happened to the kidnappers? Could it be that you wiped it all away?”
“Couldn’t you have committed a vicious atrocity by blowing up another city?”
The devil who asks more about the safety of the kidnappers rather than his safety, and the angel who looks suspiciously at the carnage and bloodbath festival. At the unexpected reaction of the two, Jaeyoung frowned and said as if her heart was slightly hurt.
“No, how do you usually see me and say that? Do I look like the kind of guy who kills everyone if something goes wrong?”
In real life, Jae-young is a moral and upright man who never stepped on and killed an ant for fun. Having received such thorough training as to become a scab on the table, saying that one should not harm others, he was nothing more than an extremely ordinary and good-hearted citizen.
Of course, it was a completely different story in Arcadia.
“Uh… isn’t it? You killed everything you met.”
Tan takes out his precious notepad with a stupid expression, as if Jae-young’s words caused enormous cognitive dissonance. And he began to recount the atrocities(?) that Jaeyoung had committed in Arcadia one by one.
“Shall we review it once again? It’s not for nothing that I say that the owner is the source of evil, like a textbook that we demons must learn. First of all, let’s point out from the beginning…. You asked me to strengthen the slimes in order to slaughter beginners who don’t know anything, right? Then, by corrupting a naive country lord, enslaving other adventurers and exploiting them, and provoking the Holy Church to cause a massacre called a witch hunt…
” Tan began to recite the notes he had written down without hesitation. Looking at the vast amount of scrolls piled up and dragging on the ground, Jae-young glanced at L, who was watching quietly from the side, as if he was going to make a noise all day long if he didn’t dry it.
“Why are you just watching today, L?”
Every time Tan raises her thumb, saying that she is like the root of evil, she refutes and rushes at her. However, when asked by Jaeyoung if she didn’t mind, she shrugged her shoulders and said.
“I’ve changed my mind a little bit lately.”
“What are you thinking?”
“Looking at that scenery over there, I think of many things.”
Jaeyoung looked at the direction El was pointing with her finger. There was a flat, desolate plain, as if something had completely pushed it away, and only a dreary, dreary wind was blowing.
[Desolate Ruins]
The place where the once glorious imperial castle of the Shouen Empire existed.
However, looking at the place that has now become a land of death where not a single ant cub remains, El muttered with a bitter smile as if he had given up on something.
“Well… At first I thought that bastard bat was trying to corrupt an innocent human… but now I think I understand a little bit what that bastard is saying.”
A truly vicious act that oxidizes millions of lives to ashes in an instant. However, rather than being angry looking at it, this contradictory situation in which she should be grateful for having wiped out a greater sacrifice made her feel like she was corrupting her essence and source.
“So… from now on, I’m going to admit that Dex-nim is vicious.”
“what….?”
As if fighting pride, Tan and L were fighting childishly, arguing between the evil and the good with Dex in the middle. As if it was unexpected that the unending battle between the two ended so blandly due to L’s giving up, Jae-young opened her eyes wide and asked. .
Then El smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.
“Because if I don’t, I think I’ll fall too.”
