Chapter 77

Seonghyun scratched his cheek, looking perplexed, but what could he do?

It wasn''t like he could voluntarily return it.

Strictly speaking, wasn''t this the developers'' fault for making a skill this overpowered?

If it gets nerfed later, he''d have to at least ask for compensation, if not outright protest.

''Anyway, are the remaining rewards the titles? Ah! And there''s also the information release.''

The title he obtained after defeating Cresentra and the first-ever title he received while looting the existing treasure vault.

Two titles, and finally, the information release.

The information release could be discussed later with Lapid, so that just left the two titles.

First, Seonghyun opened the title he obtained from looting the treasure vault.

Was the name Tomb Raider King?

[TL/N: Tomb Raider→Tomb Raider King]

He had cleared the acquisition messages to enter the battle, so he hadn''t seen it, and immediately opened the title effect.

『Tomb Raider King』

→《Legendary+》

→A title bestowed upon the first user in Eternal World to perfectly infiltrate the treasure vault guarded by a raid boss.

→Due to being the first to infiltrate, the rank is slightly higher than the original.

→When acquiring rewards from raid bosses or dungeons, there is a 12% chance the reward rank will increase.

→Can disarm any trap up to six times a day.

''Rank increase?''

An effect that increases the rank when acquiring rewards.

The probability isn''t low either, at 12%.

Three rewards can be obtained from one raid.

Roughly speaking, if he goes on three raids, one reward might have its rank increased.

In addition, being able to disarm any trap up to six times a day.

It''s a pretty good effect.

There''s a reason it''s a Legendary rank.

''This is amazing.''

Next, Seonghyun opened the Slayer title he obtained after defeating Cresentra.

He had liked the Anemor Slayer title he got last time, so he opened the title with expectant eyes.

『Cresentra Slayer』

→《Legendary》

→A title bestowed upon the first user to defeat 『Ancient Kingdom Guardian Golem, Cresentra』.

→Can use Crystal Armor five times a day.

→Can use Scorching and Freezing once a day.

→Defense +20% increase.

→Attack +10% increase when using swordsmanship.

''Scorching and Freezing must be the ones from the second phase.''

It was difficult to call them ultimate moves, but they were quite annoying skills.

He could obtain them like this.

There was also Crystal Armor, but it was just a defense increase effect.

It didn''t seem particularly useful.

In the first place, there was no enemy that could reach Seonghyun during battle.

Anyway, there was no harm in having it.

Lastly, Attack +10% increase when using swordsmanship.

''This is the most ambiguous one.''

In Eternal World, swordsmanship doesn''t simply refer to the act of using a sword.

It refers to swordsmanship skills.

Seonghyun didn''t have any swordsmanship skills yet, so it was a shame, but it might be useful later.

With all the rewards checked and the raid over,

''Now...''

Just as he was about to think about what to do,

[An alarm is ringing outside.]

[The set time has been reached.]

''Ah, time already...''

It was already the appointment time.

He lost track of time while looting the treasure vault and doing the raid.

He had to get ready to go.

Since he had set it in advance, he wouldn''t be late if he started preparing now.

He had also prepared the video to send to Lapid.

After sending the previous Anemor raid video together, he logged out.

[The Eternal World awaits you.]

''Ah, I forgot to send a message.''

He could send it by phone, so he decided to prepare first.

He would also have to ask about information disclosure while sending the message this time.

0.

A room decorated quite quaintly.

It was a room that anyone would say belonged to a woman, but being a capsule and a computer.

Filled with various tools, the quaintly decorated room felt a bit faded, but the owner of the room didn''t care.

''The Echo Willow video needs an attention-grabbing title too. The Fortress of the Past can simply be called "Clear," but it would be more effective to call it "The Demon King''s Fortress of the Past" without revealing the clear.''

After making various calculations, she finalized the edited videos and uploaded them to MeTube.

She also hastily created and added a teaser at the end.

The reaction would be huge, right?

Rapid watched the uploading process with that thought.

Even though the files were large, they would be uploaded in less than an hour.

The first video to be uploaded was the Echo Willow "Punishment" video, with a simple title.

[Echo Willow Newbie vs. Rapid Guild Newbie]

Comparisons had always been an excellent way to attract attention.

Using Echo Willow''s notoriety made it even more effective.

The Fortress of the Past video, on the other hand, had a rather bland title.

[Rapid''s Demon King, Fortress of the Past]

After all, the "clear" was a powerful attention-grabber.

Ahn Yoojin smiled as she watched the upload progress bar.

''I wonder how many subscribers will increase with this.''

Thanks to Seonghyun, she had gained another 1.5 million subscribers, nearing 22 million.

What if the Fortress of the Past was promoted alongside it?

The results would be unimaginable.

And what if there were live streams of future raid videos?

''I need to send him an improved contract quickly.''

She knew he wasn''t someone who would go elsewhere.

But seeing how much he was doing, she couldn''t help but want to raise the conditions.

Of course, this meant Ahn Yoojin was working overtime every day.

But it was her guild and her company that were growing.

Anyway, she needed to log back in and handle her work.

"Sigh..."

It would be even more hectic once the uploads were complete.

Then, Ahn Yoojin suddenly remembered something.

''Come to think of it, wouldn''t people recognize him if he used his real name as his ID?''

She was slightly worried.

But Seonghyun wasn''t an uncommon name.

And knowing Seonghyun''s personality, he probably wouldn''t care even if people recognized him.

She decided to leave it as it was.

1.

A group of young people were gathered, chatting amongst themselves.

It wasn''t a high school reunion, but a gathering of university classmates and club members.

The Web Novel Reading Club – it was their meeting day.

Today was a special occasion, as Seonghyun, who had been in the military, was joining them for the first time since his discharge.

Everyone seemed excited.

There was Lee Soojung, with her long, elegant hair, whom Seonghyun had met at the restaurant.

Seo Yujin, with her short hair and pale face.

Jung Harin, with her dyed blonde hair and slightly aloof demeanor.

Lee Cheolmin, with his dark skin and short, sporty haircut.

And finally, Song Jaemin, who had rather long hair and fair skin for a guy.

Along with Seonghyun, they were all members of the Web Novel Reading Club.

"Seonghyun really looks different after all this time. He''s, like, more manly."

"Is it because he was in the military?"

"Hey, then I''m even more manly, right?"

"You''re more like a wild animal."

When the girls glared at him coldly, Lee Cheolmin lowered his head with a dejected expression.

To be fair, it was a bit difficult to compare him to Seonghyun.

Seonghyun was quite popular at school.

It wasn''t just his good looks; he was generally kind and had an aura that made it seem difficult to approach him.

He was always calm and collected.

That was the impression his friends had of him.

Friends from high school and earlier, who knew Seonghyun''s personality, were used to it, but his university classmates and juniors were more intrigued by his mysterious aura, which only added to his popularity.

"It''s great that Soojung got to see Seonghyun after so long."

At Seo Yujin''s words, Lee Soojung nodded, looking pleased.

Between the two of them, Song Jaemin asked with a puzzled expression.

"But didn''t he still talk to us in the club''s chatroom? I thought he''d come because of that."

Song Jaemin made a reasonable guess.

But Seo Yujin countered,

"Hey! Did Seonghyun come to places like this often?"

"Well... he did come when we asked."

"But was it easy to ask him?"

"That''s true."

"Soojung did a good job!"

They were all chattering excitedly.

Then, Jung Harin, who hadn''t said a word until now, spoke casually with a slightly haughty expression.

"I wonder if Yoo Seonghyun will play Eternal World too?"
