[A connection between Yellow Hair’s group and a government official was discovered. Prosecutor Kang Woo-shik of the Incheon District Prosecutor’s Office said today that he had arrested Shin-il Guide representative Jeong-mo for being connected to the group’s crimes. Jeong-mo was charged with a shocking number of crimes, including being the mastermind of murders, accessory to murder, assault, extortion, and violation of electronic financial law. Prosecutor Kang Woo-shik said that further investigation would be done to see if there are other officials involved.)
It was as expected.
The three men were connected to the Shin-il Guide.
The representative of the Shin-il Guide was like a hotbed of all kinds of corruption.
The prosecution did the job properly, taking him down and finding other connected officials.
“I’m a little scared of it being a giant guild.” Jin-woo said.
[Originally, the organization becomes stronger, and it becomes scarier as it expands.]
“Have you experienced it?”
[Of course, not only in our school, but also in the Moorim League, and in the Sapa coalition. Ichi, which goes around the world – it’s similar everywhere.]
Jin-woo nodded.
“Oh, by the way, I felt strange last time.”
[Strange feeling?]
“Yes. When dealing with them, it feels like I was using mana, as if I was using the true moon method.”
[Of course. You wielded the sword tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of times to learn the true moon. In the process, your body remembers the movements of the mana within you.]
“Well…”
[It is not like a weapon that can be consciously folded or unfolded.]
“It’s like a missile could launch anytime.”
[That’s it. Do you want to hold the button?]
“No, how did you know about how missiles work?”
The swordsman smiled and pointed at the smartphone.
[I told you, the Internet is a sea of information.]
“Oh my…”
[So what do you want to do? Would you like to control the release button, or leave it to be a bullet that you don’t know when it could fire?]
“Isn’t it obvious? Of course, I want to control it. What should I do?”
[Alright, it’s time for action. Fight, fight, and fight again and get used to it!]
Jin-woo nodded.
The remaining time to use the admission ticket is only around three more months.
He didn’t have time to worry about anything else anymore.

[Noblesse Guild has released an official statement today that they are going to capture the Dragon’s Nest dungeon. The announcement sounded confident that the guild would succeed.]
Dragon’s Nest.
One of the highest-ranked dungeons to date.
“How long will it take to capture it?” Jin-woo asked.
Han Yu-ra, who was driving, replied, looking straight ahead.
“According to our guild’s analysis, it is expected to take about 90 days. Factoring in the uncontrollable factors, it may take more than 100 days, overall.”
In the case of high-level dungeons, the attack does not finish in a short time.
It proceeds slowly, like breaking a huge rock.
“Is it all going to be on streaming?”
“For sure. I would probably edit it and just show important parts, though”
The first level 400 dungeon.
Attacking it has tremendous monetary value. Money can be earned in different ways.
Yu-ra was unlikely to stream it for free.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how it does.”
“Me too.”
Han Yu-ra smiled, then continued. “Jinwoo, you can always tell me when you want to stop streaming.”
“Okay.”
Jin-woo decided to use real-time streaming in this attack on the Dragon’s Nest.
This time, the attention of the world will be on him as he fought versus monsters.
“It may be uncomfortable at first, but it will be okay once you get used to it.”
“Yes, but how do you communicate with viewers?”
Jin-woo liked watching dungeon strategy streams in the past.
He felt satisfaction watching the brilliant skills of players who could easily catch monsters that he couldn’t catch before.
He was especially happy when the players responded to the chat, and he wanted to be able to give that joy as well to the people who will watch him.
Han Yu-ra was silent for a while; then, she opened the console box.
There was a black bracelet inside. “You can check the chat window in real-time using this,” she explained.
“Ah! I’ve seen players use it.” Jin-woo took the familiar device and wore it on his arm. He pressed the button.
A window was projected onto the wrist.
“Oh, you’re familiar with it?”
“I often watched streaming when I had nothing to do. I saw the players there.”
The bracelet was a piece of specialized equipment made for broadcasting.
Smartphones were still being used, but they are hard to manipulate if you’re inside a dungeon with monsters around you.
“You can always contact me with that, so if you have anything you need, please contact me,” Yu-ra said as the car stopped.
“Okay, is the support team waiting outside this time?”
“Yes. Normally, a team would have gone with you. But yours is an unusual case, so the guild authorized you to go in alone.”
“I will be careful.”
Jin-woo took a deep breath as he went down the car.
* * *
The Dragon’s Nest dungeon was also in the form of a tower.
Jin-woo felt that he was given special treatment in the Taewang Guild.
However, the intention of the Taewang Guild in sending him to this popular dungeon was clear.
The Dragon’s Nest is a very popular dungeon.
Every guild wants to take the lead by taking ownership of it.
‘Focus.’
Jin-woo told himself.
He was thinking too much. He should not be stuck in his thoughts as he faced the dungeon.
It was time to move forward.
“I’m coming in now,” he said.
-Wait, the broadcast settings are being finalized. Almost done.
It was Yu-ra’s voice over the earphones.
-I’m ready. I’m going to put a count here. 3, 2, 1. Broadcast is live!
As Jin-woo looked up, he saw the light from the mini drone changed from red to green.
-It started broadcasting. Can you say hello?
“Oh, how are you?”
There was no reaction.
He swung his sword, trying to look cool.
-What are you doing??
His moves were met with Yu-ra’s ridicule.
Ah, damn it, he thought.
At that time, Han Yu-ra’s voice came through, tinged with surprise.
-The reaction is really hot!
“Yeah?”
-Weren’t you checking the chat window?
“Ah!”
He totally forgot about it. He checked the display and the chat window.
[Watching now: 57,000 people]
-Sweetroll: It’s live, man!
-joker: Oh! Is it real-time?
-Park Min-young: Jin-woo’s cute!!
-Heim: Whoo, whoo! Jin-woo! Jin-woo!
[Eunyayoung supported = 5,000 won.]
The numbers went up unceasingly.
“Is this for real? Over 50,000 people?”
-Now, there are over 60,000. The numbers go up very quickly.
Jin-woo watched dungeon strategy streams frequently. He knew that even for popular players, over 50,000 viewers were extremely rare.
Occasionally, large raids with a giant guild and multiple players attracted a huge audience.
However, the broadcast of a solo player was a different story.
-There are a lot of sponsors! You have more fans than I thought?
“Haha…”
The sense of duty soared in him.
The viewers only wanted one thing.
To watch him fight monsters and capture the dungeon.
It was time to act.
“Let’s go.”
He entered the dungeon and touched the jewel on a pillar.
He shouted the command: “Activate!”
Soon, the monsters arrived.
-Kimming: Oh-! Lamia!
-Dr. Monster: Lamia has a serpentine for the lower body and a female for the upper body. The main attack is…
-Min-Sik Min: I’m very suspicious of the explanation.
[LEETAEJUN supported 10,000 won.]
The first monster that appeared was a Lamia.
Average height: 3m.
Jin-woo grabbed his sword while looking at the Lamia, which was significantly larger than himself.
‘Sword, can I awaken the true moon by dealing with these guys?’
[Yeah, don’t swing the sword haphazardly, feel the energy moving inside your body.]
‘Yes.’
Jin-woo nodded and went into a fighting stance.
“Kyahat!”
There were now a total of five Lamias in front of him.
They raised their upper bodies, as snakes like cobras do when they feel threatened.
It is hard to see that they look like women.
Their tongues are long, and the tips are split; their skin is blue-green, and their eyes look like snake eyes.
Monsters.
There was a furious look in Jin-woo’s eyes.
“Sologo Sword.”
[The Original Sword skill is activated.]
[Continuously consumes mana.]
The sword shined.
[Don’t use the true moon yet. Your power is still not that strong. If you use it at once, you may not be able to use it anymore for the other monsters.]
‘I understand.’
Jin-woo nodded and charged.
There was no reason to wait for the guys to move.
He had trained with this sword hundreds of thousands of times.
He has the range to attack.
Huh-!
However, the Lamias’ range was longer.
The one in front spun quickly, using its tail to attack.
Jin-woo was forced to step back.
After that, he tried several more approaches.
However, he failed to get close to them every time.
The tail composes 2 meters of a Lamia’s 3-meter height.
In other words, it has a much longer reach than a human being.
‘How can I get closer?’ Jin-woo thought, starting to get frustrated.
The monsters moved in earnest and started to surround him, upon seeing that his attack was not working.
‘The thing that stops me is their tail…’
If so…
Jin-woo
Upon seeing his approach, one of the Lamia’s spun to wield her tail.
At the same time, Jin-woo raised his sword.
Tadak-!
He swung his sword and cut the tail!
As the tail flew in the air, Jin-woo jumped towards the Lamia screaming in pain, and slashed his sword from left to right.
“Kyaaaaaaaah!”
The Lamia was cut in half and crashed to the ground.
Jin-woo, who landed lightly on the ground, looked down at the sword.
‘Just before… … .’
He felt something in his body, moving through the sword.
[That is the flow of the inner air.]
The sword spoke to him.
[Make the flow yours. The moment you unravel at your will, you will be reborn as truly invincible.]
‘So, the sword is getting stronger?’
[Yes, it’s getting stronger.]
“I have to fight some more.”
He flew to the other Lamias.
* * *
Outside the gate, Yu-ra was watching Jin-woo through a monitor.
“Incredible. He’s playing Lamia at that level,” said the support team leader, Lee Sang-ho, behind her.
Han Yu-ra nodded in agreement.
‘If the legendary skill is this powerful…’
Around the world, the top guilds, including Taewang Guild are preparing to attack dungeons at level 400, interested in getting legendary skills.
It would not stop with Dragon’s Nest.
The world is changing.
Just because of one man who had a legendary skill.
“We just broke through 200,000 viewers.”
Reports from the monitor team continued.
“The funding also exceeded 10 million won.”
“Pay more attention to the management of the chat window. And make sure to share this information with the media team as well.”
Han Yu-ra said and focused once more on the monitor.
